Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet feeders, and more particularly to a novel household pet feeder. Background Art

[0002] As people's leisure time becomes richer, pet ownership has become a hobby for some. However, when owners are away, there are situations where pets are left unattended. Currently, the common solution is boarding, which is ideal for longer absences. For owners who are away for short periods, boarding is too expensive, but if they don't board, the issue of feeding their pets becomes a concern.

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, pet feeders have emerged. Existing pet feeders include a food storage bin and a feeding tray located below the bin. The bottom of the bin has a discharge port with a baffle inside. The bin contains a control module circuit that intermittently opens the baffle. The baffle opens intermittently, discharging food into the feeding tray for the pet to eat.

[0004] However, current pet feeders on the market often have issues with food getting stuck during dispensing, preventing pets from eating smoothly, and they are also relatively expensive.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new structure for a home pet feeder to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

A grain receiving trough is mounted on the bottom of the main frame. A worm gear grain discharging assembly is mounted inside the main frame. The worm gear grain discharging assembly includes an assembly housing. A grain inlet is provided on the top of the assembly housing, and the grain inlet is aligned with the outlet of the grain storage hopper. Several grain outlets are provided on the upper part of the assembly housing. A grain discharging ramp is provided on the bottom of the assembly housing.

[0030] Figure 9 for Figure 8 The diagram shows the structure of the reduction gear assembly. Figure 10 for Figure 9 The diagram shows the rear view of the reduction gear assembly. The new structure of the home pet feeder includes: main frame 1;

[0031] A grain storage hopper 2 is mounted on the top of the main frame 1, and a grain storage hopper cover 3 is mounted on the top of the grain storage hopper 2. A grain receiving trough 4 is mounted on the bottom of the main frame 1. A worm gear grain dispensing assembly 5 is mounted inside the main frame 1. The worm gear grain dispensing assembly 5 includes an assembly housing 51. A grain inlet 52 is provided on the top of the assembly housing 51, and the grain inlet 52 is aligned with the outlet of the grain storage hopper 2. Several grain outlets 53 are provided on the upper part of the assembly housing 51, and a grain dispensing ramp 54 is provided on the bottom of the assembly housing 51. A reduction mechanism 55 is installed on one side of the component housing 51. The reduction mechanism 55 includes a housing 551 and a cover plate 552. The housing 551 and the cover plate 552 are fixedly connected. A reduction gear assembly 553 is installed inside the housing 551. A connecting shaft 554 is installed on the reduction gear assembly 553. A motor 56 is installed on one side of the housing 551. A worm gear 57 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 554. One end of the worm gear 57 passes through the component housing 51 and extends into the interior of the component housing 51.

[0032] The grain storage tank cover 3 is detachably connected to the grain storage tank 2, which makes it convenient for users to add grain to the grain storage tank 2.

[0033] The grain discharge ramp 54 can be angled to adjust the grain discharge direction.

[0034] The motor 56 is powered to rotate its output shaft, which provides kinetic energy to the worm gear 57. The worm gear 57 is coaxially arranged with the output shaft of the motor 56 and is rigidly connected for discharging grain.

[0035] A sensor panel 6 is installed on the host frame 1.

[0036] The sensor panel 6 can detect the approach of a pet using microwave radar or infrared pyroelectric sensing. When the pet is hungry and approaches and reaches a designated distance, the feeder will automatically dispense food.

[0037] The host frame 1 is equipped with a control panel 7.

[0038] The control panel 7 can be operated by buttons or a mobile app. It has a power supply / charging interface and serves as the user's interactive control unit.

[0039] A battery 8 is installed on the main frame 1.

[0040] The feeder operates normally when there is no external power supply, thanks to the setting of battery 8.

[0041] The reduction gear assembly 553 includes a drive gear 5531, a first gear 5532, a second gear 5533, a third gear 5534, a fourth gear 5535, a fifth gear 5536, and a sixth gear 5537. The drive gear 5531 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 56. The first gear 5532, the second gear 5533, the third gear 5534, the fourth gear 5535, the fifth gear 5536, and the sixth gear 5537 are all rotatably connected inside the housing 551.

[0042] The rotation of motor 56 drives the drive gear 5531 to rotate, which in turn causes the first gear 5532 to rotate and decelerate, then the second gear 5533 to rotate and decelerate, driving the third gear 5534 to rotate and decelerate, then the fourth gear 5535 to rotate and decelerate, driving the fifth gear 5536 to rotate and decelerate, and then the sixth gear 5537 to rotate and decelerate. Finally, the connecting shaft 554 drives the worm gear 57 to rotate slowly, which reduces the speed and allows the worm gear 57 to slowly dispense pet food.

[0043] The drive gear 5531 meshes with the first gear 5532, the first gear 5532 meshes with the second gear 5533, the second gear 5533 meshes with the third gear 5534, the third gear 5534 meshes with the fourth gear 5535, the fourth gear 5535 meshes with the fifth gear 5536, the fifth gear 5536 meshes with the sixth gear 5537, and the sixth gear 5537 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 554.

[0044] The working principle of the novel household pet feeder provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0045] The user puts pet food into the food storage bin 2 and interacts with it through the control panel 7. The user can operate it by pressing buttons or using a mobile APP. When the feeding command is triggered, the motor 56 drives the worm gear 57 to rotate according to the feeding weight set by the user, thus completing the food dispensing. When the worm gear 57 rotates, the pet food falls from the food storage bin 2 into the food inlet 52 of the worm gear food dispensing component 5 by gravity. Then, through the rotation of the worm gear 57, it is transported to the food outlet 53 and falls into the food receiving trough 4 by gravity via the food dispensing ramp 54.

[0046] Compared with related technologies, the novel household pet feeder provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0047] Beneficial effects:

[0048] This invention uses a motor 56 to drive a worm gear 57 to rotate continuously, allowing pet food to move continuously and be discharged from the food inlet 52, thus preventing food from getting stuck in the pet feeder. The speed reduction mechanism 55 also slows down the flow, allowing the pet food to be discharged slowly and evenly. Moreover, it is low-cost, making it affordable for consumers and more convenient to use.

[0049] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model.
