Specific embodiments

[0024] 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 of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, the present utility model provides an intelligent pet feeder, including a limit seat 1. Two symmetrically arranged limit blocks 2 are fixedly connected to the top end of the limit seat 1. A feed tray 3 is arranged at one end of the limit block 2 away from the limit seat 1, and the two limit blocks 2 are fixedly connected to the feed tray 3. Two symmetrically arranged grooves 4 are opened at one end of the feed tray 3 away from the limit seat 1. Two symmetrically arranged sliders 5 are movably connected to the inner cavity wall of the groove 4. Two symmetrically arranged sliding covers 6 are arranged at one end of the feed tray 3 away from the limit seat 1, and the sliding cover 6 is fixedly connected to the adjacent two sliders 5. Two push plates 20 are relatively arranged inside the feed tray 3. An intelligent feeder body 19 is fixedly arranged on one side of the limit seat 1. The discharge port of the intelligent feeder body 19 is arranged above the feed tray 3. A push plate 20 is arranged on one side of the sliding cover 6 away from the intelligent feeder body 19.

[0026] Adopting the above scheme: when the pet contacts or separates from the pressing plate 18, at this time, the two sliding covers 6 will move synchronously towards each other or away from each other along the groove 4, so as to open or close the feed tray 3. While opening or closing, the push plate 20 will reciprocate along the groove 4 to push and separate the food automatically spilled from the intelligent feeder body 19, preventing the pet food from piling up too high and causing the sliding cover 6 to be unable to close.

[0027] As Figures 2 to 4 shown, racks 7 are fixedly connected to the relatively close sides of the sliding covers 6. On the relatively close sides of the two racks 7, spur gears 8 are arranged. The two sides of the spur gear 8 are meshed and connected with the racks 7. A spur gear 9 is fixedly connected to the side of the spur gear 8 away from the feed tray 3. The spur gear 9 is meshed and connected with a toothed disc 10. A motor 11 is arranged at one end of the toothed disc 10 close to the feed tray 3. The toothed disc 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 11, and the motor 11 is fixedly connected to the feed tray 3.

[0028] Adopting the above scheme: the toothed disc 10 drives the spur gear 9 and the spur gear 8 to rotate synchronously, so that the spur gear 8 drives the sliding cover 6 to move synchronously towards each other or away from each other through the racks 7, for closing or opening the feed tray 3.

[0029] As Figures 2 to 4 shown, a limiting strip 12 corresponding to the rack 7 is fixedly connected to the side of the feed tray 3 close to the rack 7, and the inner side of the limiting strip 12 is movably connected with the rack 7.

[0030] Adopting the above scheme: the rack 7 is limited by the limiting strip 12, making the movement of the rack 7 more stable.

[0031] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, a rotating rod 13 is fixedly connected to the inside of the spur gear 9. One end of the rotating rod 13 close to the feed tray 3 passes through the spur gear 9, the spur gear 8 and the feed tray 3 and extends into the inside of the feed tray 3. The contact surface between the rotating rod 13 and the feed tray 3 is rotatably connected.

[0032] Adopting the above scheme: the spur gear 9 and the spur gear 8 are limited by the rotating rod 13, making the rotation of the spur gear 9 and the spur gear 8 more stable.

[0033] As Figure 4 and Figure 6 shown, a disc 14 is arranged in the inner cavity of the feed tray 3, and the disc 14 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 13. A cylinder 21 is fixedly connected to the side of the disc 14 close to the push plate 20, and the cylinder 21 is movably connected with the push plate 20.

[0034] Adopting the above scheme: the rotation of the feed tray 3 drives the cylinder 21 to contact the push plate 20, so that the push plate 20 is stressed and moves away from each other, pushing the pet food to prevent the pet food from being too high.

[0035] As Figure 6 shown, a groove block 15 is provided on the relatively far - away side of the push plate 20, and the push plate 20 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the groove block 15. A spring is provided in the inner cavity of the groove block 15, and the push plate 20 is elastically connected to the groove block 15 through the spring. One end of the groove block 15 close to the feed tray 3 is fixedly connected to the feed tray 3.

[0036] Adopting the above - mentioned solution: First, the push plate 20 that moves away from each other after being stressed presses the spring. When the push plate 20 no longer exerts pressure, the spring will push the push plate 20 to move towards each other, thereby pushing the pet food to prevent the pet food from being too high.

[0037] As Figure 5 shown, a base 16 is fixedly connected to the side of the sliding cover 6 away from the intelligent feeder body 19. A motor button 17 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the base 16. The output end of the motor button 17 passes through the base 16 and is fixedly connected to the pressing plate 18.

[0038] Adopting the above - mentioned solution: When the pet contacts the pressing plate 18, it will press the motor button 17, thereby opening the sliding cover 6. When the pet separates from the pressing plate 18, the motor button 17 is no longer stressed, resetting the pressing plate 18 and closing the sliding cover 6 at the same time.

[0039] The working principle and usage process of the present utility model: When in use, first place the pet food inside the intelligent feeder body 19. When the pet wants to eat, it stands above the pressing plate 18 and contacts the pressing plate 18, thereby starting the motor 11 by the motor button 17, making the motor 11 drive the gear disk 10 to rotate forward, and then separating the sliding cover 6 to open the feed tray 3. At this time, after the intelligent feeder body 19 recognizes the pet, it will automatically drop the feed into the inner part of the feed tray 3. While the sliding cover 6 moves, it will make the rotating rod 13 rotate, so that the cylinder 21 intermittently contacts the push plate 20, making the push plate 20 push the feed to prevent the feed from piling up too high, resulting in the sliding cover 6 being unable to close. When the pet is full and gets off the pressing plate 18, it will make the motor button 17 drive the motor 11 to rotate in the reverse direction, making the sliding cover 6 move relatively until the feed tray 3 is closed.

[0040] It should be noted that in this article, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the term "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non - exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or further includes elements inherent to this process, method, article or device.

[0041] Although embodiments of the present utility model have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present utility model. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
