Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet feeding device technology, specifically an anti-jamming feeder. Background Technology
[0002] In pet ownership, there is a need for feeding. To improve the convenience and automation of feeding, existing technology proposes an anti-jamming feeder. This anti-jamming feeder generally includes a food bowl and a cover that can close the food bowl. When it is necessary to close the feeder, the cover extends from the inlet / outlet on one side of the feeder to cover the food bowl. When it is necessary to open the feeder, the cover retracts from the inlet / outlet on one side of the feeder to open the food bowl. However, when pets are eating, there is a possibility that the food will spill, and it can enter the machine through the inlet / outlet, causing hygiene problems and potentially causing malfunctions.
[0003] This disclosure proposes a new anti-jamming feeder to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art and propose an anti-jamming feeder, so that grain is not easy to enter the machine body through the inlet and outlet, thereby improving hygiene and reducing the possibility of malfunction.
[0005] Compared with the prior art, this utility model proposes an anti-jamming feeder, including a body and a feeding bowl disposed in the body. The body has an inlet and outlet on one side of the feeding bowl. The cover plate is movably sleeved with the inlet and outlet. It also includes a brush strip installed at the inlet and / or on the outside. The brush strip is located on the upper side of the cover plate and is arranged along the length direction of the inlet and outlet. The lower end of the brush strip abuts against the upper side of the cover plate. The bristles of the brush strip are elastic.
[0006] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages after adopting the above structure:
[0007] The brush bar serves two purposes: firstly, it acts as a barrier, preventing grain from easily entering the machine body through the inlet and outlet; secondly, the lower end of the brush bar abuts against the upper side of the cover plate, and the brush bristles are elastic. Therefore, when the cover plate retracts, the abutting action and the elasticity of the bristles effectively sweep away any grain remaining on the upper side of the cover plate. Thus, the anti-jamming feeder proposed in this disclosure prevents grain from easily entering the machine body through the inlet and outlet, thereby improving hygiene and reducing the possibility of malfunctions.
[0008] In some embodiments, the inlet and outlet and the food bowl are arranged sequentially in a front-to-back direction, which is consistent with the extension / retraction direction of the cover plate. The inlet and outlet are set higher than the food bowl, and a guide surface is provided between the inlet and outlet and the food bowl. The guide surface on the side of the inlet and outlet is higher than the guide surface on the side of the food bowl.
[0009] In some embodiments, the brush bar is located directly above the guide surface.
[0010] In some embodiments, the brush bar includes two rows of bristles arranged side by side.
[0011] In some embodiments, the two rows of bristles arranged side by side are arranged in a figure-eight shape.
[0012] In some embodiments, the upper housing of the main body at the location of the brush bar is provided with a slot, and the brush bar is engaged with the slot.
[0013] In some embodiments, the slot is provided with a barb, and the brush strip engages with the slot from bottom to top. The barb is used to prevent the brush strip from falling downwards.
[0014] In some embodiments, the upper surface of the cover plate is configured as a flat surface. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will arise for those skilled in the art. The basic principles of the present invention defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 5The image shows an anti-jamming feeder, including a body 1 and a feeding bowl 2 disposed in the body 1. The body 1 has an inlet 4 on one side of the feeding bowl 2. A cover plate 3 is movably fitted with the inlet 4. The feeder also includes a brush 5 installed at and / or on the outside of the inlet 4. The brush 5 is located on the upper side of the cover plate 3 and is arranged along the length of the inlet 4. The lower end of the brush 5 abuts against the upper side of the cover plate 3. The bristles 6 of the brush 5 are elastic.
[0023] like Figure 5 As shown, brush strip 5 can be obtained by attaching bristles to a plastic strip. Bristles 6 can be plastic, thus possessing a certain degree of elasticity.
[0024] When the anti-jamming feeder is working, the cover plate 3 needs to be opened and closed frequently. The lower end of the brush bar 5 is set against the upper side of the cover plate 3. The bristles 6 of the brush bar 5 are elastic, which can effectively block the grain. In addition, due to the elastic setting, the noise is low.
[0025] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the inlet / outlet 4 and the feeding bowl 2 are arranged sequentially in a front-to-back direction, which is consistent with the extension / retraction direction of the cover plate 3. The inlet / outlet 4 is positioned higher than the feeding bowl 2. A guide surface 7 is provided between the inlet / outlet 4 and the feeding bowl 2, with the guide surface 7 located on one side of the inlet / outlet 4 higher than the guide surface 7 on the other side of the feeding bowl 2. In this way, on the one hand, due to the setting of the guide surface 7, the cover plate 3 does not need to be fully retracted when retracting, but can be fully exposed when it stops at the guide surface 7. If the guide surface 7 is made wider, then if the extension end of the cover plate 3 stops at the middle of the guide surface 7, the feeding bowl 2 will be fully exposed. On the other hand, the guide surface 7 can guide the grain, so that it is not easy for it to enter the inlet / outlet 4 from the bottom side of the cover plate 3.
[0026] In this example, guide surface 7 is set with a curved surface.
[0027] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the brush bar 5 is located directly above the guide surface 7. In this way, since the cover plate 3 does not need to be fully retracted when it is retracted, but can be fully exposed at the guide surface 7, the lower end of the brush bar 5 is always in contact with the upper surface 10 of the cover plate 3, which naturally forms a barrier to the grain, making it more difficult for the grain to enter the machine body 1 through the inlet 4.
[0028] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , 3As shown, the brush bar 5 includes two rows of bristles 6 arranged side by side. In this way, on the one hand, a double barrier is formed, and on the other hand, the inner bristles 6 play a role in blocking foreign objects inside when the cover plate 3 retracts. Of course, there are generally no foreign objects inside the body 1, but if there are foreign objects, it can play a certain role.
[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the two rows of brush bristles 6 arranged side by side are arranged in a V-shape. In this way, when the cover plate 3 is retracted, the cleaning ability of the outer side of the V-shape brush bristles 6 is better utilized, and when the cover plate 3 is extended, the cleaning ability of the inner side of the V-shape brush bristles 6 is better utilized.
[0030] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the upper housing of the body 1 at the location of the brush strip 5 has a slot 8, and the brush strip 5 is engaged with the slot 8. This facilitates assembly.
[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the slot 8 is provided with barbs 9, and the brush strip 5 engages with the slot 8 from bottom to top. The barbs 9 are used to prevent the brush strip 5 from falling downwards. In this way, since the bristles 6 are under stress, the restraint of the barbs 9 helps to reduce swaying. Furthermore, a top 11 is provided at the bottom of the slot 8 to limit the top surface of the brush strip 5, so that the top 11 and the barbs 9 on both sides of the top 11 form a three-point anti-rotation structure for the brush strip 5, thereby ensuring that the brush strip 5 works in a better state.
[0032] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the upper surface 10 of the cover plate 3 is designed as a flat surface. This facilitates better cleaning of the upper surface 10.
[0033] When understanding this disclosure, the above structure may be referred to other embodiments / appendices if necessary. Figure 1 And that is understood, so I will not elaborate further here.
[0034] The above description is merely an illustrative embodiment of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features, and principles described in the scope of protection of this utility model are included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
