Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of animal feeding devices, in particular to an animal cage feeding device. Background Art

[0002] With the development of society, available land is becoming less and less, the cost of land is becoming higher and higher, breeding is becoming more and more standardized, and the relevant technical level is also gradually improving. It is becoming more and more common to raise domestic animals or pets such as chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, rabbits, etc. in cages. As the name suggests, it means raising them in cages, including raising them in cages for a long time, and temporarily placing animals in cages for the purpose of transferring or facilitating transportation. Animal cages usually need to be equipped with feeding troughs to supply feed to the animals. There are two types of feeding troughs. One is a normal feeding trough, that is, the feeding trough is always fixed on the animal cage until the residual feed needs to be cleaned out; the other is a temporary feeding trough, that is, the feed is placed in the animal cage only when it is feeding time, and it is taken away at other times.

[0003] In existing animal cage feeding systems, animals are prone to knocking over food after feeding it. This not only results in food waste but also increases the difficulty of cleaning, affecting the animals' normal diet and health. Furthermore, knocked-over food can contaminate the cage environment, leading to bacterial growth, which can affect the animals' growth and reproduction, and may even cause some diseases. Utility Model Content

[0004] The object of the utility model is to provide an animal cage feeding device, which is provided with a feeding mechanism to lock the tilt angle of the feeding bowl, thereby ensuring that the feeding bowl can always be tilted, which can facilitate animal feeding and will not be overturned. The feeding bowl is also easy to return to the right position for cleaning after feeding, thereby greatly improving the convenience of animal feeding and solving the problem in the prior art that the animal cage feeding device is easily overturned by the animals after the food is put in.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] The utility model is an animal cage feeding device, comprising an animal cage, wherein a feeding mechanism is provided on the animal cage;

[0007] The feeding mechanism includes a fixed frame fixedly connected to the front side of the animal cage, the front side of the fixed frame is fixedly connected to two positioning rings, the inner walls of the two positioning rings are rotatably connected to the rotating rods, the ends of the two rotating rods close to each other are fixedly connected to the feeding bowl, two positioning assemblies are provided between the feeding bowl and the fixed frame, and the left and right sides of the feeding bowl are fixedly connected to the positioning rods;

[0008] The positioning assembly includes a fixing block fixedly connected to the front side of the fixing frame.

[0009] Furthermore, a groove one is formed on the front side of the fixing block, and the positioning rod is located inside the groove one.

[0010] Furthermore, a second groove is provided on the front side of the fixing block, and a slider is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second groove.

[0011] Furthermore, a trapezoidal slide rail is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 2, a trapezoidal slide groove is provided on the rear side of the slider, the trapezoidal slide rail is adapted to the trapezoidal slide groove, and the trapezoidal slide rail is slidably connected to the inner wall of the trapezoidal slide groove.

[0012] Furthermore, a positioning piece is fixedly connected to the front side of the fixing frame, and a positioning rod is slidably passed through the positioning piece.

[0013] Furthermore, a gasket is fixedly connected to the top end of the positioning rod. A spring is wound around the outer wall of the positioning rod, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the positioning piece, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the slider.

[0014] Furthermore, the top surface of the animal cage is fixedly connected to a fence frame, the inner wall of the animal cage is slidably connected to a cage door, and the top surface of the cage door is slidably connected to the bottom surface of the fence frame.

[0015] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The feeding mechanism is provided with a trapezoidal slide rail and a trapezoidal slide groove, so that the slider can only move up and down inside the fixed block. When feeding the animal in the animal cage, the pet food can be put into the feeding bowl. At the same time, with the cooperation of the positioning ring and the rotating rod, the feeding bowl is tilted, and the two positioning rods on the feeding bowl slide into the groove 1 of the fixed block. At this time, the gasket can be pulled to drive the sliding rod and the slider to move upward. At this time, the spring is compressed under the cooperation of the positioning piece. After the positioning rod completely slides into the groove 1 and contacts the rear side of the groove 1, the gasket can be loosened. At this time, the compressed spring is released, causing the slider to move downward to resist the positioning rod, positioning the positioning rod between the slider and the groove 1, locking the tilt angle of the feeding bowl, ensuring that the feeding bowl can always be tilted, which is convenient for feeding the animal and will not be overturned. Moreover, the feeding bowl is easy to return to the right position for cleaning after feeding, which greatly improves the convenience of feeding the animal.
