Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of pet products, in particular to a pet intelligence slow-feeding device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the current society, with the vigorous development of pet economy and the increasing trend of pet domestication, pet health has become one of the focuses of pet owners. Among them, the eating habits of pets are closely related to the health of the stomach and intestines, and rapid eating and excessive food intake often lead to stomach and intestinal discomfort, bloating and obesity in pets, which seriously affects the overall health and quality of life of pets. Therefore, there is an urgent need in the market for pet intelligence slow-feeding devices that can effectively control the eating speed of pets and promote healthy eating habits.

[0003] However, the existing slow-feeding bowls are mostly designed to slow down the eating speed of pets by simple physical barriers such as protrusions or maze structures. These designs, although to some extent, can extend the eating time of pets, but often cannot accurately control the outflow speed of food, and pets may still consume food quickly by forceful biting or pushing, thus failing to achieve the true meaning of slow-feeding effect. In addition, these traditional slow-feeding bowls mostly ignore the importance of pet intelligence development, lack of interactivity and interest with pets, and cannot meet the needs of pet owners to improve pet intelligence and enhance the interactive experience between humans and pets. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a pet intelligence slow-feeding device that can improve the above problems.

[0005] The embodiments of the present application are implemented as follows:

[0006] The present application provides a pet intelligence slow-feeding device, which comprises a bottom disc, a bottom disc cover covering the bottom disc, at least one grain storage barrel and a slow-feeding disc.

[0007] At least one set of elastic element combinations is arranged on the bottom disc, and the elastic element combinations are connected between the bottom disc and the bottom of the grain storage barrel. When the distance between the bottom disc and the bottom of the grain storage barrel is less than a preset distance value, a repulsive force is generated to push away the grain storage barrel. The sidewall of the grain storage barrel is provided with a barrel wall opening.

[0008] The bottom disc cover comprises a planar portion and a ring wall portion. The top of the planar portion is a plane, and the slow-feeding disc is placed on the plane. The ring wall portion comprises at least one baffle perpendicular to the bottom disc, and the baffles are connected at the head and tail to enclose a containing space, and the containing space is provided with the grain storage barrel. The position of the baffle towards the slow-feeding disc is provided with a baffle opening.

[0009] It can be understood that the application discloses a pet intelligence slow feeder, which comprises a bottom disc, a bottom disc cover, a grain storage barrel and a slow feeding disc, the bottom disc cover comprises a plane part and a ring wall part; the grain storage barrel is arranged inside the ring wall part and is combined and connected with the bottom disc through elastic members. When no pressure is applied to the grain storage barrel, the grain storage barrel is pushed by the thrust of the elastic member combination, so that the barrel wall opening on the grain storage barrel sidewall is staggered with the baffle opening on the ring wall part; when pressure is applied to the grain storage barrel, the elastic member combination is further extruded, the barrel wall opening on the grain storage barrel sidewall is coincided with the baffle opening on the ring wall part, and the food in the grain storage barrel is poured into the slow feeding disc through the barrel wall opening and the baffle opening. By using the pet intelligence slow feeder disclosed by the application, the pet needs to press the grain storage barrel to obtain food, which can better control the food pouring speed and enhance the intelligence development of the pet.

[0010] In an optional embodiment of the application, the elastic member combination comprises at least one spring, and the spring in the elastic member combination pushes up the grain storage barrel when no pressure is applied to the grain storage barrel, so that the barrel wall opening is staggered with the baffle opening. It can be understood that the barrel wall opening and the baffle opening are staggered, which can effectively prevent the pet from consuming food quickly. In addition, since the food is not directly exposed to the pet, but needs to be obtained through a series of "machines", the exploration desire of the pet is stimulated, and they are encouraged to actively seek and explore the food source.

[0011] In an optional embodiment of the application, the grain storage barrel comprises a base, a barrel wall and a cover plate; the base and the barrel wall are fixed with each other, and the cover plate is detachably connected with the barrel wall; the barrel wall is provided with the barrel wall opening; and the base is connected with the elastic member combination.

[0012] Optionally, the surface of the base towards the cover plate is a slope, and the slope enables the food in the grain storage barrel to move towards the barrel wall opening.

[0013] Optionally, a slope plate is arranged in the grain storage barrel, and the slope plate enables the food in the grain storage barrel to move towards the barrel wall opening.

[0014] It can be understood that whether the slope of the base or the slope plate in the grain storage barrel is designed, the food can be naturally guided to move towards the barrel wall opening, so that the food can be guided into the slow feeding disc through the barrel wall opening and the baffle opening when pressure is applied.

[0015] In an alternative embodiment of the present application, at least one adjusting through hole is further arranged on the bottom plate; the pet intelligence slow feeder further comprises a number of screws and a baffle plate equal to the number of the adjusting through holes, one end of the screw is provided with a handle, and the other end of the screw passes through the adjusting through hole and is fixed with the baffle plate in the accommodating space. It can be understood that the pet owner can adjust the distance between the baffle plate and the bottom plate by rotating the handle, so as to limit the limit position of the pressing of the storage barrel, and adjust the overlapping area of the barrel wall opening and the baffle opening. When the overlapping area becomes larger, the food in the storage barrel is poured out faster; when the overlapping area becomes smaller, the food in the storage barrel is poured out slower.

[0016] Optionally, a raised area is arranged on the bottom plate, the raised area forms a groove on the surface away from the storage barrel, and the raised area forms a protrusion on the surface towards the storage barrel; the adjusting through hole is arranged on the raised area. It can be understood that the screw adjustment requires a certain expansion space, and therefore the design of the raised area can provide a certain expansion space for the adjustment of the screw.

[0017] In an alternative embodiment of the present application, the outer wall of the storage barrel is in contact with the inner wall of the corresponding baffle. It can be understood that the contact between the outer wall of the storage barrel and the inner wall of the baffle can avoid the gap between the barrel wall opening and the baffle opening, and prevent the food in the storage barrel from leaking out.

[0018] In an alternative embodiment of the present application, the planar portion is further provided with a clamping structure for fixing the slow feeding plate. It can be understood that the slow feeding plate is temporarily fixed on the planar portion by the clamping structure, so as to avoid displacement of the slow feeding plate and affect the pet feeding.

[0019] In an alternative embodiment of the present application, the storage barrel and the ring wall portion are made of transparent material. It can be understood that the design of the transparent shell can enable the pet to find the food and even identify the type of food stored in each storage barrel, stimulate the pet's interest in obtaining food, and develop the pet's intelligence.

[0020] In an alternative embodiment of the present application, a suction cup is arranged on the surface of the bottom plate away from the storage barrel. It can be understood that the design of the suction cup can increase the grip of the pet intelligence slow feeder, and avoid the pet intelligence slow feeder from shaking on the ground and affecting the pet feeding.

[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0030] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the present application provides a pet educational slow feeder, which includes a chassis 10, a chassis cover 20 covering the chassis 10, a first grain storage barrel 41, a second grain storage barrel 42 and a slow feed plate 23.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the chassis 10 is provided with a first spring 51 and a second spring 52 connected to the bottom of the first grain storage barrel 41. The first spring 51 and the second spring 52 form a first elastic member combination. When the distance between the chassis 10 and the bottom of the first grain storage barrel 41 is less than a preset distance value, a repulsive force is generated to push the first grain storage barrel 41 away. Figure 2 The chassis 10 is further provided with a third spring 53 and a fourth spring 54 connected to the bottom of the second grain storage bucket 42. The third spring 53 and the fourth spring 54 form a second elastic member combination. When the distance between the chassis 10 and the bottom of the second grain storage bucket 42 is less than a predetermined distance value, a repulsive force is generated to push the second grain storage bucket 42 away. In this embodiment, only two springs are shown as forming the elastic member combination. In practice, the elastic member combination may include a plurality of elastic members greater than or equal to one.

[0032] In this application, each grain storage barrel is provided with a barrel wall opening on the side wall. Figure 2 As shown, a first barrel wall opening 410 is provided on the side wall of the first grain storage barrel 41 , and a second barrel wall opening 420 is provided on the side wall of the second grain storage barrel 42 .

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the bottom plate cover 20 includes a plane portion 21 and an annular wall portion 22; the top of the plane portion 21 is a plane, and a slow food plate 23 is placed on the plane.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the annular wall portion 22 includes a first baffle 61 and a second baffle 62 that are perpendicular to the base 10. The first baffle 61 is connected end to end to form a first storage space, in which the first grain storage bucket 41 is located. A first baffle opening 611 is provided on the first baffle 61 facing the slow food tray 23. The second baffle 62 is connected end to end to form a second storage space, in which the second grain storage bucket 42 is located. A second baffle opening 621 is provided on the second baffle 62 facing the slow food tray 23. Figure 2 The two baffles are designed as one piece. In fact, the baffles in the pet educational slow feeder disclosed in this application can also be designed separately to facilitate independent control of the displacement of the grain storage barrels in their respective accommodating spaces.

[0035] It can be understood that when pressure is applied to the first food storage barrel 41, the first elastic member combination is further extruded, the first barrel wall opening 410 on the sidewall of the first food storage barrel 41 coincides with the first baffle opening 611 of the first baffle 61, and the food in the first food storage barrel 41 is poured into the slow food plate 23 through the first barrel wall opening 410 and the first baffle opening 611. When pressure is applied to the second food storage barrel 42, the second elastic member combination is further extruded, the second barrel wall opening 420 on the sidewall of the second food storage barrel 42 coincides with the second baffle opening 621 of the second baffle 62, and the food in the second food storage barrel 42 is poured into the slow food plate 23 through the second barrel wall opening 420 and the second baffle opening 621. Generally, the first food storage barrel 41 and the second food storage barrel 42 are filled with different kinds of food, and the pet can press the first food storage barrel 41 or the second food storage barrel 42 alone to obtain different food, or press the first food storage barrel 41 and the second food storage barrel 42 at the same time to quickly obtain two kinds of food.

[0036] Using the pet slow food device disclosed in the present application, the pet needs to press the food storage barrel to obtain food, which better controls the speed of food pouring and enhances the intelligence development of the pet.

[0037] In the optional embodiment of the present application, the spring in the elastic member combination pushes up the food storage barrel when no pressure is applied to the food storage barrel, so that the barrel wall opening is misaligned with the baffle opening. It can be understood that the misalignment of the barrel wall opening and the baffle opening can effectively prevent the pet from consuming food quickly, and in addition, since the food is not directly exposed to the pet, but needs to be obtained through a series of "machines", which stimulates the pet's desire to explore, encourages them to actively seek and explore the source of food.

[0038] In the optional embodiment of the present application, the structure of the food storage barrel in the present application can be the same, taking the first food storage barrel 41 as an example, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first food storage barrel 41 includes a base 31, a barrel wall 32 and a cover plate 33; the base 31 and the barrel wall 32 are fixed to each other, and the cover plate 33 is detachably connected to the barrel wall 32; the barrel wall 32 is provided with a first barrel wall opening 410; and the base 31 is connected with the above-mentioned first elastic member combination.

[0039] Optionally, the surface of the base 31 towards the cover plate 33 is a slope, which makes the food in the food storage barrel move towards the barrel wall opening.

[0040] Optionally, a slope plate (not shown in the figure) is arranged in the food storage barrel, which makes the food in the food storage barrel move towards the barrel wall opening.

[0041] It can be understood that the slope of the base 31 or the slope plate in the grain storage barrel can naturally guide the food to move towards the barrel wall opening, ensuring that the food can be guided into the slow food tray 23 through the barrel wall opening and the baffle opening when pressure is applied.

[0042] In the alternative embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 , at least one adjusting through hole is further arranged on the base plate 10; the pet intelligence slow feeder further comprises a number of lead screws 71 and baffle plates 72 equal to the number of adjusting through holes; one end of the lead screw 71 is provided with a handle 73, and the other end of the lead screw 71 passes through the adjusting through hole and is fixed with the baffle plate 72 located in the accommodation space. It can be understood that the pet owner can adjust the distance between the baffle plate 72 and the base plate 10 by rotating the handle 73, thereby limiting the limit position of the grain storage barrel being pressed, and adjusting the overlapping area of the barrel wall opening and the baffle opening 62. When the overlapping area becomes larger, the food in the grain storage barrel is poured out faster; when the overlapping area becomes smaller, the food in the grain storage barrel is poured out slower.

[0043] The above-mentioned lead screw 71, baffle plate 72 and handle 73 constitute a set of limiting combination, and each grain storage barrel corresponds to a set of limiting combination, so that the food pouring speed of each grain storage barrel can be independently controlled.

[0044] Optionally, as shown in Figure 4 , a raised area 11 is arranged on the base plate 10, the raised area 11 forms a groove on the surface away from the grain storage barrel, and the raised area 11 forms a protrusion on the surface towards the grain storage barrel; the adjusting through hole is arranged on the raised area 11. It can be understood that the lead screw 71 needs a certain expansion space during adjustment, and therefore the design of the above-mentioned raised area 11 can provide a certain expansion space for the adjustment of the lead screw 71.

[0045] In the alternative embodiments of the present application, the outer wall of the grain storage barrel is in contact with the inner wall of the corresponding baffle. It can be understood that the outer wall of the grain storage barrel is in contact with the inner wall of the baffle, which can avoid the existence of a gap between the barrel wall opening and the baffle opening, preventing the food in the grain storage barrel from leaking out.

[0046] In the alternative embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 2 , the planar portion 21 is further provided with a clamping structure 210 for fixing the slow food tray 23. It can be understood that the above-mentioned slow food tray 23 is temporarily fixed on the planar portion 21 by the clamping structure 210, avoiding displacement of the slow food tray 23 and affecting the pet's eating.

[0047] In the alternative embodiments of the present application, the grain storage barrel and the ring wall portion 22 are made of transparent material. It can be understood that the design of the transparent shell can enable the pet to find the food and even distinguish the types of food stored in each grain storage barrel, stimulating the pet's interest in obtaining food and developing the pet's intelligence.

[0048] In alternative embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 2 The surface of the base 10 facing away from the storage barrel is provided with a suction cup 80. It can be understood that the design of the suction cup 80 can increase the grip of the pet slow-feeding puzzle feeder, so as to avoid the pet slow-feeding puzzle feeder from shaking on the ground and affecting the pet from eating.
