Specific embodiments

[0020] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Embodiment: As Figures 1-5 shown, the present utility model provides a grain storage device for a pet feeder, including a grain storage box 1. A chute 2 is opened at the bottom of the grain storage box 1. Two symmetrically distributed slide rails 3 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the inner wall of the chute 2. A slide plate 4 is slidably clamped between the top ends of the two slide rails 3. A rack 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the inner wall of the chute 2 near one side of the slide rail 3. A stepper motor 6 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the grain storage box 1. The driving end of the stepper motor 6 extends to the inside of the chute 2 and is fixedly connected with a gear 7. The rack 5 and the gear 7 are meshed. A feeding port 8 is opened at the bottom end of the inner wall of the grain storage box 1. The inside of the grain storage box 1 is communicated with the inside of the feeding port 8 and the chute 2. A feeding bowl 9 is fixedly installed on one side of the slide plate 4. The feeding bowl 9 corresponds to the position of the feeding port 8.

[0022] One side of the top end of the grain storage box 1 is hinged with a box cover 10. One side of the bottom end of the box cover 10 far from the rotating shaft is fixedly connected with an insertion plate 12. A clamping groove 16 is opened on one side of the insertion plate 12. One side of the top end of the inner wall of the grain storage box 1 is fixedly connected with a fixing block 11. An insertion slot 23 is opened on one side of the top end of the fixing block 11. The insertion plate 12 is movably inserted into the insertion slot 23. A plate groove 13 is opened on one side of the inside of the grain storage box 1 near the insertion slot 23. A clamping plate 14 is slidably clamped in the plate groove 13. A clamping block 15 is fixedly connected to the side of the clamping plate 14 close to the insertion plate 12. One side of the clamping block 15 far from the clamping plate 14 is movably inserted into the clamping groove 16.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, when closing the lid 10, the insertion plate 12 is movably inserted into the inside of the slot 23, and at the same time, the front end of the clamping block 15 is movably inserted into the inside of the clamping groove 16, so as to limit the vertical rotation of the lid 10 and play a role in locking the movement of the lid 10, avoiding the stored grain inside from spilling all over the place when the grain storage box 1 is knocked over by a pet.

[0024] A guide rod 17 is fixedly connected to the side of the clamping plate 14 away from the clamping block 15, and one end of the guide rod 17 away from the clamping plate 14 extends to the outside of the grain storage box 1 and is fixedly connected to an unlocking plate 18.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, by providing the unlocking plate 18, it is convenient to better complete the unlocking operation.

[0026] A spring 19 is arranged between the side of the clamping plate 14 away from the clamping block 15 and the inner wall of the plate groove 13, and the spring 19 is movably sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 17.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, by providing the spring 19, it is convenient to reset the clamping plate 14. At the same time, by using the elastic force of the spring 19, the clamping between the clamping block 15 and the clamping groove 16 is made tighter.

[0028] An observation window 20 is arranged on the front side of the grain storage box 1.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, by providing the observation window 20, it is convenient to better observe the situation of the stored grain inside the grain storage box 1.

[0030] The bottom end of the inner wall of the grain storage box 1 is set as a conical slope 22.

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting the bottom end of the inner wall of the grain storage box 1 as the conical slope 22, it helps the materials to flow more smoothly under the action of gravity. When the materials enter the grain storage box 1, they will naturally slide down along the conical slope 22, reducing the residence time of the materials in the grain storage box 1 and improving the fluidity of the materials.

[0032] Support legs 21 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom end of the grain storage box 1.

[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, by providing the support legs 21, it is convenient to place the equipment more stably.

[0034] A pet feeder includes the above-mentioned grain storage device for a pet feeder.

[0035] Working principle: When using this pet food storage device, load the food into the interior of the food storage box 1, and close the box cover 10. By inserting the insertion plate 12 into the interior of the slot 23, and at the same time, inserting the front end of the clamping block 15 into the interior of the clamping slot 16, the vertical rotation of the box cover 10 is limited, and the box cover 10 is locked in place, preventing the food inside from spilling all over the place when the food storage box 1 is knocked over by the pet. When it is necessary to open the box cover 10, just pull the unlocking plate 18 outwards, driving the guide rod 17 to move outwards, and at the same time driving the clamping plate 14 and the clamping block 15 to move towards one side of the guide rod 17, and compressing the spring 19, so that the clamping block 15 disengages from the interior of the clamping slot 16;

[0036] When feeding the pet, when the top of the feeding bowl 9 is inside the food storage box 1, the food inside the food storage box 1 will fill the entire feeding bowl 9 under the action of gravity. When feeding, drive the stepping motor 6 to drive the gear 7 to rotate. Using the meshing connection between the gear 7 and the rack 5, at the same time drive the rack 5 to move towards the outside of the food storage box 1, thereby driving the sliding plate 4 to move towards the outside of the food storage box 1 along the top of the slide rail 3, extending the feeding bowl 9 out of the food storage box 1, so as to facilitate the pet to eat. At the same time, the sliding plate 4 blocks the feeding port 8 to prevent the food inside the food storage box 1 from falling. After feeding, reverse the rotation of the stepping motor 6. Similarly, reset the feeding bowl 9 to prevent the uneaten food inside the feeding bowl 9 from being spilled all over the place by the pet.

[0037] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalent technologies, the present invention also intends to include these modifications and variations.
