Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pet feeding devices, and particularly discloses a full-automatic pet feeder with double feeding bowls. Background Technique

[0002] With the improvement of living standards, more and more users are willing to raise pets to relieve the pressure in life and work. Pets refer to organisms that people keep for spiritual purposes. The pet industry is now an emerging and vibrant project, and pet feeding has become crucial. Therefore, designing a pet automatic feeder that can automatically feed pets has considerable economic value and practical value.

[0003] However, the inventor has found through research that most of the existing traditional pet automatic feeders adopt an hourglass structure or a motor-driven structure. The hourglass feeder usually opens a grain outlet under the storage bin and sets a feeding bowl at the grain outlet. The food automatically slides down under the action of gravity for replenishment, which has the advantages of simple structure and low price. However, this hourglass structure cannot achieve quantitative feeding of pets, and it is easy to have the situation of insufficient feeding or overfeeding. The feeder with a motor-driven structure generally rotates through a click, and uses a brush to push the pet food in the storage bin to the grain outlet and then drops it into the feeding bowl, which can achieve timed feeding but cannot achieve quantitative feeding. In addition, most of the existing pet feeders have only one feeding basin, which is only suitable for a single pet to eat. When users raise multiple pets, the pet feeder with a single feeding basin is difficult to meet the needs. Pets are prone to fight for food, which is not conducive to pet feeding and does not meet the needs of users who raise multiple pets. Content of the Utility Model

[0033] In order to better understand the above technical solutions, the above technical solutions will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification and specific implementation manners.

[0034] Figure 1 Shows a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of a fully automatic pet feeder with a double feeding bowl according to the present utility model. As Figure 1 shown, the fully automatic pet feeder with a double feeding bowl includes: a storage bin 1, a material distribution device 2, and at least two feeding bowls 3.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 together. An opening 10 is provided at the bottom of the storage bin 1. Exemplarily, the storage bin 1 adopts a cylindrical structure and is hollow inside for storing pet food. Specifically, the size of the storage bin 1 is set according to requirements.

[0036] The material distribution device 2 includes a housing 21 and a material distribution assembly 22. The housing 21 is arranged at the bottom of the storage bin 1 and matches the bottom of the storage bin 1. A material distribution bin 23 is arranged inside the housing 21. The material distribution bin 23 includes at least two material distribution areas 231. A feed inlet 2311 for communicating with the storage bin 1 is provided at the top of each material distribution area 231, and a discharge port 2312 is provided at the bottom of each material distribution area 231. The material distribution assembly 22 is arranged in the material distribution bin 23. At least two inclined chutes 24 are arranged inside the housing 21. The higher end of each inclined chute 24 is communicated with a discharge port 2312. After the material distribution assembly 22 quantitatively divides the pet food that slides into each material distribution area 231 from the feed inlet 2311, the divided pet food is discharged from the discharge port 2312 corresponding to each material distribution area 231 into the corresponding inclined chute 24.

[0037] Specifically, the material dividing component 22 can separate the pet food in at least two material dividing areas 231, so that the amount of pet food discharged from each material dividing area 231 is maintained within a certain range, and the total amount of pet food added to each feeding bowl 3 during one feeding process can be controlled by controlling the number of times the material dividing component 22 discharges the pet food. For large pets, the material dividing component 22 can perform multiple material dividing operations and discharge the pet food to the feeding bowl 3 multiple times, thereby meeting the feeding needs of large pets; for small pets, the material dividing component 22 can reduce the number of material dividing operations to avoid overfeeding.

[0038] At least two feeding bowls 3 are provided, each feeding bowl 3 is disposed adjacent to the lower end of an inclined slide 24, so that the pet food discharged from each inclined slide 24 falls into the corresponding feeding bowl 3. Exemplarily, the feeding bowl 3 is disposed below the lower end of the inclined slide 24, so that the pet food in the inclined slide 24 falls into the feeding bowl 3 under the action of gravity.

[0039] The fully automatic pet feeder with dual feeding bowls of this embodiment is provided with a material dividing device 2, and the material dividing device 2 is used to quantitatively add the pet food in the storage bin 1 to the feeding bowl 3, thereby realizing quantitative feeding of the pet, and different feeding amounts can be set according to the size of the pet, which is highly practical. In addition, the material dividing device 2 has at least two material dividing areas 231, and the pet feeder has at least two feeding bowls 3. The pet food is quantitatively added to each feeding bowl 3 through at least two material dividing areas 231, so that multiple pets can be fed at one time. Users who feed multiple pets only need to purchase one fully automatic pet feeder with dual feeding bowls, saving user expenses.

[0040] In order to further improve the intelligent operation level of the pet feeder, based on the above embodiments, other embodiments are also provided. Figures 1 to 4 The fully automatic pet feeder with dual feeding bowls also includes a control module 4 electrically connected to the dispensing device 2, for receiving an external input signal and controlling the dispensing device 2 to dispense materials in a timely and / or quantitative manner according to the external input signal.

[0041] Specifically, the control module 4 is electrically connected to the dispensing device 2, and is used to receive an external input signal, and control the dispensing component 22 to dispense materials in a timely and / or quantitative manner according to the external input signal. The control module 4 can adopt a key input signal mode, and can also establish a remote connection with a mobile terminal, so that the user can perform remote control. The control module 4 can set the time and number of times that the dispensing component 22 performs the dispensing operation according to the external input signal, so as to add pet food to at least two feeding bowls 3 in a timely and quantitative manner.

[0042] In order to further improve the fun of feeding pets, based on the above embodiments, other embodiments are described.Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown in Figure 5 , a camera 241 for photographing the feeding bowl 3 is further provided on each inclined chute 24. The camera 241 is electrically connected to the control module 4. The control module 4 further includes a wireless communication unit, and the wireless communication unit establishes a communication connection with an external communication device.

[0043] Specifically, by providing the camera 241 for photographing the feeding bowl 3, when feeding a pet, the camera 241 can send the video of the pet eating to the control module 4, and the control module 4 sends it to the external communication device via the wireless communication unit, which is convenient for the user to observe and confirm whether the pet is eating normally. Among them, the camera 241 can be turned on only after the feeding component 22 distributes feed regularly, and the control module 4 simultaneously sends a signal indicating that the pet is eating to the external communication device via the wireless communication unit to remind the user that the pet starts to eat.

[0044] Further, please refer to Figures 2 to 6, the material distribution bin 23 includes a cylindrical material distribution bin. The material distribution component 22 includes a driving motor 221, a transmission gear assembly 222, and a rotating shaft 223 that are electrically connected to the control module 4. The driving motor 221 is arranged inside the housing 21. The rotating shaft 223 is arranged at the center of the material distribution bin 23, and the bottom end of the rotating shaft 223 penetrates the bottom end of the material distribution bin 23. The transmission gear assembly 222 is respectively connected to the output end of the driving motor 221 and the bottom end of the rotating shaft 223 in a transmission manner. When the driving motor 221 operates, the driving motor 221 drives the transmission gear assembly 222 to rotate, and the transmission gear assembly 222 drives the rotating shaft 223 to rotate. The material distribution bin 23 includes an upper material distribution part 23A communicated with the feed inlet 2311 and a lower material distribution part 23B communicated with the discharge outlet 2312. A cross-shaped baffle 233 is arranged on the upper material distribution part 23A. The cross-shaped baffle 233 divides the upper material distribution part 23A into two material distribution areas 231 and two blanking areas 232. Both the material distribution areas 231 and the blanking areas 232 are in a fan-shaped ring structure. The two material distribution areas 231 are arranged oppositely, and the two blanking areas 232 are arranged oppositely, thus presenting a cross-shaped intersection pattern. The two material distribution areas 231 are respectively communicated with the two feed inlets 2311. The pet food in the storage bin 1 enters the two material distribution areas 231 through the two feed inlets 2311 respectively. The two blanking areas 232 are respectively located directly above the two discharge outlets 2312. A pair of fan-shaped ring column parts 234 are arranged on the lower material distribution part 23B. The fan-shaped ring column parts 234 are sleeved on the rotating shaft 223. The fan-shaped ring column parts 234 divide the lower material distribution part 23B into two fan-shaped ring spaces (not shown in the figure) with equal sizes. The top surface area of the fan-shaped ring space is equal to the bottom surface area of the material distribution area 231, and the bottom surface area of the fan-shaped ring space is equal to the size of the discharge outlet 2312. When the rotating shaft 223 drives the pair of fan-shaped ring column parts 234 to rotate, the two fan-shaped ring spaces rotate synchronously. When the two fan-shaped ring spaces pass through the two material distribution areas 231, the pet food in the material distribution areas 231 drops into the fan-shaped ring spaces. And when the fan-shaped ring column parts continue to rotate, the cross-shaped baffle 233 blocks the pet food above the top plane of the fan-shaped ring space, so that the amount of pet food moving to the blanking area 232, that is, the capacity of the fan-shaped ring space. When the two fan-shaped ring spaces pass through the two blanking areas 232, the pet food in the fan-shaped ring spaces drops from the discharge outlets 2312 into the corresponding feeding bowls 3.

[0045] Specifically, in the initial state, a pair of sector-shaped cylindrical parts 234 rotate to a position directly below two respective material distribution areas 231. At this time, the bottom end of the material distribution area 231 is closed by the sector-shaped cylindrical parts 234, and the pet food that has slipped into the storage bin 1 is in the material distribution area 231. When it is necessary to feed the pet, the control module 4 controls the driving motor 221 to operate, and the rotating shaft 223 rotates to drive a pair of sector-shaped cylindrical parts 234 to rotate. The sector-shaped cylindrical part 234 at the bottom of the material distribution area 231 rotates away from the bottom of the material distribution area 231, and the two sector-shaped spaces gradually rotate to the bottoms of the two material distribution areas 231. As the sector-shaped cylindrical part 234 rotates away, the pet food in the material distribution area 231 drops into the sector-shaped space under the blocking action of the cross-shaped stopper 233 until the sector-shaped space is filled. At this time, the two sector-shaped cylindrical parts just rotate to directly above the discharge ports 2312. The rotating shaft 223 continues to rotate, and the two sector-shaped spaces filled with pet food start to rotate to the two discharging areas 232. The pet food in the two sector-shaped spaces drops into the inclined chute 24 from the corresponding discharge ports 2312 under the action of gravity. Until the two sector-shaped spaces are respectively completely directly above the two discharge ports 2312, the pet food in the two sector-shaped spaces both falls into the inclined chute 24. At this time, the two sector-shaped cylindrical parts 234 just rotate to directly below the two material distribution areas 231 again. Thus, a quantitative material distribution and discharging operation of pet food is completed. By controlling the number of rotations of the rotating shaft 223, the quantitative discharge of pet food by the material distribution device 2 can be controlled, realizing the quantitative feeding of the pet. For example, by controlling the rotating shaft 223 to rotate half a turn, the pet food with the capacity of one sector-shaped space can be discharged into the feeding bowl 3. Rotating one turn discharges the pet food with the capacity of two sector-shaped spaces, and rotating one and a half turns can discharge the pet food with the capacity of three sector-shaped spaces.

[0046] Further, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 , the material distribution device 2 further includes a stirring member 28. The top end of the rotating shaft 223 penetrates through the top of the material distribution bin 23 and extends into the storage bin 1, and the stirring member 28 is connected to the top end of the rotating shaft 223.

[0047] Specifically, by providing the stirring member 28, when the rotating shaft 223 rotates to separate the pet food, the stirring member 28 simultaneously stirs the pet food in the storage bin 1, making it easier for the pet food to fall into the material distribution bin 23 from the feed inlet 2311 and preventing the pet food from blocking the feed inlet 2311.

[0048] Further, as Figure 2 and Figure 7As shown, the material distributing device 2 further includes a counter 25 electrically connected to the control module 4. The counter 25 is disposed on the outer surface of the bottom of the material distributing bin 23. A rotating member 26 is sleeved on the bottom end of the rotating shaft 223. A convex portion 261 is provided on the rotating member 26. An elastic switch 251 is provided on the counter 25. The elastic switch 251 is located on the rotation track of the convex portion 261. When the rotating member 26 drives the convex portion 261 to rotate past the elastic switch 251, the convex portion 261 presses the elastic switch 251, and the counter 25 generates an induction signal and counts once.

[0049] Specifically, the convex portions 261 on the rotating member 26 are preferably provided in two and symmetrically disposed on the side surface of the rotating member 26 to correspond to the two fan-shaped spaces. In the initial state, one of the convex portions 261 abuts against the elastic switch 251, and the counting times of the counter 25 are reset to zero; when the control module 4 controls the rotation of the rotating shaft 223, the convex portion 261 presses the elastic switch 251, and the elastic switch 251 deforms so that the elastic switch 251 is turned on, and the counter 25 generates a corresponding induction signal and counts once until the other convex portion 261 abuts against the elastic switch 251. At this time, the rotating shaft 223 has rotated half a circle, and the pet food with the capacity of one fan-shaped space has been discharged into the feeding bowl 3; when the control module 4 controls the rotating shaft 223 to continue rotating, the other convex portion 261 presses the elastic switch 251, and the counter 25 generates an induction signal and counts twice, and so on. According to the counting of the counter 25, the amount of pet food discharged into the feeding bowl 3 can be known, and the counting times are transmitted to the control module 4, and the control module 4 can control the operation of the drive motor 221 according to the counting times.

[0050] Furthermore, as Figure 2 shown, a battery compartment 27 is further provided in the housing 21. A rechargeable battery (not shown in the figure) is loaded in the battery compartment 27. The rechargeable battery is electrically connected to the drive motor 221 and the control module 4. A charging interface (not shown in the figure) is further provided in the housing 21. The charging interface passes through the bottom of the housing 21 and extends to the outside to facilitate connection with a charging cable.

[0051] Furthermore, please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 8, the control module 4 includes a mounting board 41, a support shell 42, a circuit board 43, a display screen 44, and a rotator 45. A mounting structure (not shown in the figure) matching the mounting board 41 is provided on the housing 21. One side of the support shell 42 is disposed on the mounting board 41. The circuit board 43 is disposed inside the support shell 42. The display screen 44 is disposed on the other side of the support shell 42. A display lens 46 is covered on the display screen 44. An induction button (not shown in the figure) is provided on the display lens 46. The induction button is electrically connected to the circuit board 43. The rotator 45 is movably sleeved on the support shell 42. An inductor 431 is provided on the circuit board 43. A gear 432 is provided on the inductor 431. A ring of teeth is provided on the inner surface of the rotator 45 and meshes with the gear 432. The rotation of the rotator 45 drives the gear 432, and the rotation of the gear 432 causes the inductor 431 to generate a control signal and transmit it to the circuit board 43. The circuit board 43 is electrically connected to the drive motor 221.

[0052] Specifically, the rotator 45 rotates to drive the gear 432 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 432 drives the signal induction end of the inductor 431 to rotate, generating a corresponding induction signal inside the inductor 431. According to this induction signal, function control can be achieved, such as realizing the screen switching function, and different function interfaces are switched on the display screen 44 through the rotator 45. Compared with the traditional function button method, the way the rotator 45 realizes functions is more interesting.

[0053] Further, please refer to Figure 6 As shown, a sensor 242 is provided in the inclined chute 24. The sensor 242 is electrically connected to the control module 4. When the sensor 242 detects that no pet food slides through the inclined chute 24 during the operation of the feeding component 22, a reminder signal is sent to the outside through the control module 4.

[0054] Specifically, a sensor 242 is provided in the inclined chute 24. The sensor 242 is used to detect whether there is pet food passing through the inclined chute 24. If it detects that no pet food passes through, a reminder signal is sent to the control module 4, indicating that the pet food in the storage bin 1 is insufficient and needs to be replenished.

[0055] Further, as Figure 9 shown, a drying component for maintaining the dryness in the storage bin 1 is provided in the storage bin 1. The drying component is disposed in the storage bin 1 and is used to remove the moisture in the storage bin 1 and maintain the dryness in the storage bin 1, thereby extending the storage period of the pet food in the storage bin 1 and eliminating the need for users to frequently add pet food to the storage bin 1. The storage bin 1 includes a bin 11 with an open top and a lid 12 movably disposed on the top of the bin 11. The drying component includes a drying bin 13 for storing desiccant. The drying bin 13 is disposed on the inner wall of the lid 12 and is communicated with the bin 11.

[0056] Specifically, the material cover 12 is movably arranged on the top of the silo 11. The user can remove the material cover 12 from the top of the silo 11 and then add pet food into the silo 11. By setting the drying bin 13 in the silo 11 and communicating with the silo 11, the desiccant is stored in the drying bin 13, and the desiccant absorbs the moisture in the silo 11 to keep the silo 11 dry. The setting of the drying bin 13 can not only keep the silo 11 dry, but also prevent the desiccant from directly contacting the pet food, thereby avoiding the desiccant from contaminating the pet food.

[0057] Further, such as Figure 10 As shown, the drying bin 13 includes an upper bin body 131 fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the material cover 12 and a lower bin body 132 movably arranged on the inner wall of the material cover 12, one end of the lower bin body 132 is hinged to the inner wall of the material cover 12, and a locking portion 133 is arranged at the other end of the lower bin body 132, and a locking body 134 matching the locking portion 133 is arranged inside the material cover 12, and a plurality of ventilation ports connecting the material bin 11 and the drying bin 13 are arranged on the lower bin body 132.

[0058] Specifically, in order to facilitate the replacement of the desiccant in the drying bin 13, the present embodiment hinges one end of the lower bin body 132 with the inner wall at the top of the material cover 12, and provides a lock portion 133 at the other end. After the desiccant is placed in the drying bin 13, the lower bin body 132 is rotated so that the lock portion 133 is snapped into the lock body 134 at the inner wall at the top of the material cover 12. When the desiccant needs to be replaced, the lock portion 133 is pulled out from the lock body 134 and the lower bin body 132 is rotated, so that the drying bin 13 can be opened to replace the desiccant.

[0059] Further, such as Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown in the figure, a groove 121 with an open top is further provided on the material cover 12. An articulated part 122 is provided in the groove 121, and a matching button part 123 is provided at the top of the groove 121. The button part 123 matches the shape and size of the groove 121. A pressing area 1231 is provided on the upper surface of the button part 123, and an articulated body 124 that is articulated with the articulated part 122 is provided on the lower surface of the button part 123. When the user presses the pressing area 1231 on the upper surface of the button part 123, the button part 123 rotates with the articulated part 122 as the fulcrum. An extrusion part 125 is provided on the articulated body 124, a movable latch 126 is slidably provided at the bottom of the groove 121, a through hole (not shown in the figure) is provided on the side wall of the groove 121, one end of the movable latch 126 extends from the through hole to the outside of the groove 121, and an elastic member 127 is provided between the other end of the movable latch 126 and the inner wall of the groove 121. A pressure-bearing part 128 is provided on the upper surface of the movable latch 126, and the extrusion part 125 abuts against the pressure-bearing part 128. When the button part 123 is pressed, it rotates, and the extrusion part 125 rotates and presses the pressure-bearing part 128 to drive the movable latch 126 to slide. The movable latch 126 slides so that one end of the movable latch 126 retracts from the outside of the groove 121 into the inside of the groove 121. When the button part 123 is released, the movable latch 126 returns to its original position under the elastic force of the elastic member 127, and one end of the movable latch 126 extends out of the groove 121. A first bayonet (not shown in the figure) that matches one end of the movable latch 126 is provided on the side wall of the material bin 11, and the first bayonet is aligned with the through hole on the side wall of the groove 121.

[0060] Specifically, as Figure 13 and Figure 14 shown, Figure 13 is a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram when the material cover 12 is closed, Figure 14 is a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram when the material cover 12 is opened. When the user needs to open the material cover 12 to add pet food to the material bin 11, the user presses the pressing area 1231 on the button part 123. The button part 123 rotates with the articulated part 122 as the fulcrum under the external force, and the extrusion part 125 starts to press the pressure-bearing part 128, causing the movable latch 126 to slide. The end of the movable latch 126 that is stuck into the side wall of the material bin 11 retracts into the groove 121, and the material bin 11 and the material cover 12 are no longer engaged, facilitating the user to remove the material cover 12. When the material cover 12 is reinstalled on the top of the material bin 11, place the material cover 12 on the top of the material bin 11 and press the pressing area 1231 of the button part 123. The end of the movable latch 126 retracts into the groove 121 and is aligned with the first bayonet on the side wall of the material bin 11. When the user stops pressing the button part 123, under the elastic force of the elastic member 127, the movable latch 126 slides, and the end of the movable latch 126 extends out from the through hole on the side wall of the groove 121 and is stuck into the first bayonet on the side wall of the material bin 11.

[0061] Furthermore, as Figure 11As shown, fixing teeth 129 are further provided on the side wall of the material cover 12. The fixing teeth 129 are provided at one end opposite to the movable teeth 126. A second bayonet (not shown in the figure) matching the fixing teeth 129 is further provided on the side wall of the material bin 11.

[0062] Specifically, when the material cover 12 is reinstalled on the top of the material bin 11, first, the fixing teeth 129 are snapped into the second bayonet, and then by pressing the button portion 123, the movable teeth 126 are snapped into the first bayonet; when it is necessary to remove the material cover 12, first press the button portion 123 to remove the movable teeth 126 from the first bayonet, and then remove the fixing teeth 129 from the second bayonet, thereby removing the material cover 12.

[0063] Further, as Figure 6 shown, the top of the housing 21 is inclined, and the feed inlet 2311 is provided at the lowest point of the top of the housing 21.

[0064] Specifically, by inclining the top of the housing 21 and providing the feed inlet 2311 at the lowest point of the top of the housing 21, the pet food in the storage bin 1 slides into the material distribution device 2 from the feed inlet 2311 under the action of gravity.
