Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of pet products and relates to a pet feeder. Background Art

[0002] With rising living standards, more and more families are keeping pets. Pet feeders can automatically dispense food while owners are at work or out, allowing pets to be fed regularly and in fixed quantities. However, after long-term use, the storage barrel and feeding trough need to be cleaned. For example, the pet feeder disclosed in Patent No. 201410279433.5 primarily consists of a base housing, a feeding bucket, a food tray, a motor, and a power switch. The base housing has a feeding port located within it, and a spiral sleeve fixedly connected to the feeding port is located below the feeding port. A screw is mounted within the spiral sleeve, one end of which is fixedly connected to the motor and the other end is secured within the spiral sleeve by a screw support. The screw is provided with spiral blades. A nose cover is mounted outside the spiral sleeve and fixedly connected to the base housing via a snap fastener. The nose cover has a downwardly curved discharge channel within it. A base is located at the bottom of the base housing, which has a recessed groove. A food tray is located below the nose cover and is located within the recessed groove of the base. The pet feeder also includes a circuit control system for controlling the circuitry to implement various feeding functions. Because these pet feeders have numerous components and are equipped with control circuitry, they are expensive and cannot be quickly disassembled for thorough cleaning. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a simple, durable pet feeder that is also easy to disassemble and clean. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the above problems in the existing technology and propose a pet feeder. The base and the feed tank are connected by an installation component, which is easy to install and disassemble, has a simple structure and is easy to clean.

[0004] The objectives of the present utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions: A pet feeder, comprising a base and a feed tank, characterized in that a gourd-shaped feed trough is provided on the base, and an inclined annular guide groove is provided at the bottom of the feed trough. The base and the feed tank are connected by a mounting assembly, and the mounting assembly includes a connecting seat and a sleeve. The base is provided with a plurality of arc-shaped clamping grooves, and the lower end of the connecting seat has a plurality of arc-shaped protrusions that correspond to the position and number of the clamping grooves and can be inserted into the clamping grooves. The upper end of the connecting seat is provided with a mounting groove for inserting the sleeve, and a blanking hole is provided at the bottom of the mounting groove. The sleeve is nested on the outside of the feed tank and the outer wall of the feed tank has a step that abuts against the sleeve.

[0005] Furthermore, the feed tank is a blow-molded one-piece structure. The feed tank is blow-molded, and the advantages of this one-piece structure are that the structure is stable and firm, and the manufacturing cost is low.

[0006] Furthermore, as another solution, the feed tank includes a bottom cover, a cylindrical tank body, and a tank end. The tank body and the tank end are interlocked and ultrasonically welded together. The bottom cover is nested in the tank body. A protruding lever is provided on one side of the bottom cover. By lifting the lever upward, the bottom cover can be opened, allowing feed to be added without removing the feed tank.

[0007] Furthermore, the side wall of the installation groove has a plurality of circumferentially arranged positioning clamping plates, and the lower end of the sleeve is provided with a plurality of strip-shaped embedding grooves that are embedded with the positioning clamping plates.

[0008] Furthermore, the higher end of the feed trough is the material receiving portion, and the lower end is the feeding portion, and the mounting assembly is mounted on the material receiving portion.

[0009] The feed can can be pulled out directly upwards, and the connecting seat and the base can also be pulled out and separated. Every component of the entire pet feeder can be immersed in water for cleaning in all directions without dead angles, so that the pet feeder can be kept clean and hygienic.

[0010] Compared with the existing technology, this pet feeder has the following advantages:

[0011] 1. The base and feed tank are connected by mounting components in a card-embedded manner, which does not require screws and is not afraid of being soaked in water and rusted. They are all made of plastic materials and are easy to install and disassemble and clean.

[0012] 2. Due to the height difference of the feed trough, when the feed in the feeding section becomes less, the feed in the receiving section will automatically roll down the guide trough into the feeding section, so that the feeding section maintains sufficient feed. No additional power supply or drive device is required to push the feed to move. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
