Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of feeders, in particular to a feeder. Background Art

[0002] A feeder is a device used to automatically or semi-automatically provide food to pets, designed to solve the problem of busy owners being unable to feed their pets in time. Existing feeders have separate feed outlets and main units, requiring users to assemble them themselves, making installation cumbersome. Furthermore, gaps in the assembled parts can easily allow food debris to enter during use, leading to long-term accumulation and difficulty in cleaning.

[0003] The food bowls of existing feeders are fixed in height and are not suitable for pets of different sizes. The control panels of most feeders are directly fixed to the entire product. When setting the time and feeding plan, the user needs to hold the entire product or rub against the product to set the feeding plan and clock, which is inconvenient to use.

[0004] Therefore, in view of the above status quo, it is urgent to develop a feeder to overcome the shortcomings in current practical applications. Utility Model Content

[0040] In this embodiment, the motor 71 drives the rotating shaft 73 to rotate through the gear set 72, and the rotating shaft 73 simultaneously drives the grain-distributing turntable 74 and the grain-sweeping blades 75 to rotate. The grain-sweeping blades 75 can release or restore the blockage of the grain outlet by rotating, so that the food in the drying bin can fall onto the grain-distributing turntable 74 as needed, so that the amount of food put in can be controlled to avoid its waste. The grain-distributing turntable 74 can transport the food on it to the grain hopper 3 by rotating, allowing it to fall into the grain bowl 2, thereby realizing automatic food discharging of the feeder, ensuring that the put-in food can fully fall into the grain bowl 2, and avoid it from being trapped at the bottom of the granary 5.
