[0002] A pet automatic feeding device is a device that conveniently provides food for pets at regular times and in fixed quantities when pet owners are unable to feed them personally. Users set the feeding time points and the amount of food discharged each time in advance. The timer inside the device will control the motor or other driving devices according to the settings at the corresponding time, and convey the pet food in the storage bucket to the food bowl. For pet owners who often travel on business, work overtime or travel, the automatic feeding device can ensure that pets can eat on time when the owners are not at home, avoiding health problems caused by hunger.

[0003] After the existing automatic feeding device regularly conveys pet food to the food bowl, when the pet eats, the mucus on its tongue will be mixed with feed residues and adhere to the surface of the food bowl, making it necessary to manually remove the food bowl for cleaning after each meal. The operation is rather cumbersome.

[0029] Embodiment 2

[0030] As Figures 1-4 shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: One end of the rotating sleeve 62 penetrates and extends to the lower surface of the storage box 6. A diversion sleeve 64 is fixedly communicated with the outer surface of the rotating sleeve 62. One end of the diversion sleeve 64 is fixedly connected with an arc-shaped scraper 65. The rotating sleeve 62 drives the arc-shaped scraper 65 to rotate and clean through the diversion sleeve 64.

[0031] The outer surface of the diversion sleeve 64 is fixedly communicated with spray pipes 66 distributed in a linear array. A water storage tank 67 and a grain storage tank 68 are respectively opened on the upper surface of the storage box 6. The inner bottom wall of the grain storage tank 68 is communicated with a discharge pipe 69. The spray pipes 66 are inclined to assist in cleaning by spraying cleaning water.

[0032] A second electromagnetic valve 610 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the discharge pipe 69. One end of the discharge pipe 69 penetrates the installation cavity 61 and extends to the lower surface of the storage box 6. A servo motor 611 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the installation cavity 61. The second electromagnetic valve 610 functions to control the connection of the discharge pipe 69 and the discharge time.

[0033] The output shaft of the servo motor 611 is fixedly installed with a worm 612 through a coupling. The outer surface of the worm 612 meshes with the tooth surface of the worm gear 63. The inner bottom wall of the installation cavity 61 is fixedly installed with a small water pump 613. One end of the small water pump 613 is fixedly communicated with a water inlet pipe 614. The servo motor 611 drives the engaged worm gear 63 to rotate through the worm 612.

[0034] One end of the water inlet pipe 614 is fixedly communicated with the inner bottom wall of the water storage tank 67. The other end of the small water pump 613 is fixedly communicated with a water outlet pipe 615. One end of the outer surface of the water outlet pipe 615 is installed with the inner wall of the rotating sleeve 62 through a sealing bearing. The back surface of the storage box 6 is hinged with a cover body 7 through a hinge. The cover body 7 plays a role in protecting the upper part of the storage box 6 to prevent impurities and dust from entering the water storage tank 67.

[0035] The lower surface of the cover body 7 contacts the upper surface of the storage box 6. The upper surface of the collection base 1 is provided with symmetrically distributed installation grooves 8. The inner walls of the installation grooves 8 are fixedly installed with servo electric cylinders 9. One end of the piston rod of the servo electric cylinder 9 is fixedly connected with a guide block 10. The opposite surfaces of the two guide blocks 10 are respectively fixedly connected with the two side surfaces of the storage box 6.

One ends of the plurality of guide rods 11 are fixedly connected with the upper surface of the collection base 1. The guide blocks 10 and the guide rods 11 play a role in cooperating with the storage box 6 to stably lift and move.

[0036] Through the automatic cleaning device, after the pet finishes eating the feed in the food bowl 2, it realizes the automatic flushing and scraping of the mucus and impurities inside the food bowl 2, and discharges and collects the sewage after cleaning, so as to facilitate subsequent unified treatment. There is no need for manual cleaning of the food bowl 2, which liberates the manual labor force. And through the cleaning of the food bowl 2, the effect of avoiding the bacteria bred by the residues from affecting the health of the pet is achieved.

[0037] The working process of the utility model:

[0038] Step 1, the device is controlled by an existing external PLC controller and time relay. The user pre-sets the feeding time in advance, and then sets the interval cleaning time after feeding and feeding. When the feeding time arrives, the second solenoid valve 610 is opened for a set time, so that the feed in the grain storage tank 68 is transported to the inside of the food bowl 2 through the discharge pipe 69, so as to achieve the effect of allowing the pet to eat regularly.

[0039] Step 2: After the pet finishes eating, wait until the set cleaning time is reached. At this time, the piston rod of the servo electric cylinder 9 retracts, driving the storage box 6 to move downward through the cooperation of the guide rod 11 and the guide block 10. When the storage box 6 moves downward until the arc-shaped scraper 65 fits against the inner wall of the food bowl 2, the retraction stops, and the servo motor 611 and the small water pump 613 are started. The small water pump 613 transports the cleaning water inside the water storage tank 67 to the inside of the rotating sleeve 62 through the cooperation of the water inlet pipe 614 and the water outlet pipe 615, and then sprays the cleaning water onto the inner wall of the food bowl 2 through the cooperation of the shunt sleeve 64 and the spray pipe 66;

[0040] Step 3: At this time, the servo motor 611 drives the worm 612 to rotate. The rotation of the worm 612 drives the rotating sleeve 62 to rotate through the meshing worm gear 63. The rotation of the rotating sleeve 62 drives the arc-shaped scraper 65 to scrape along the inner wall of the food bowl 2 through the shunt sleeve 64, and the food bowl 2 is automatically cleaned by the sprayed cleaning water in cooperation. At the same time, the first solenoid valve 4 is opened, and the sewage cleaned is transported to the inside of the collection box 5 through the sewage pipe, so as to facilitate subsequent unified treatment. When the set cleaning time ends, the servo motor 611 and the small water pump 613 stop working, and the first solenoid valve 4 is closed. At the same time, the piston rod of the servo electric cylinder 9 extends, thereby driving the storage box 6 to move upward and reset, waiting for the next feeding.

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