[0024] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] It should be noted that similar labels in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it may not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0026] This embodiment mainly describes a fish tank feeder with moisture-proof function, as detailed below:

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a fish tank feeder with moisture-proof function includes a feeding box 1, which can be cylindrical, polygonal, etc. This design mainly describes a cylindrical feeding box. The feeding box 1 includes a fish food bin 2, a feeding chamber 3, a drying chamber 5, and a heating chamber 4. The fish food bin 2 is used to hold fish food. The feeding chamber 3 is integrally formed with the fish food bin 2 and is located below the fish food bin 2. The feeding chamber 3 is equipped with a feeding mechanism 6, which can partially slide out of the feeding chamber 3 to add fish food from the fish food bin 2 to the fish tank at regular intervals and in measured quantities, ensuring that the fish in the fish tank receive timely food replenishment. When the feeding mechanism 6 slides out, it is located at... The outer part of the feeding bin 3 has a feeding port 621 with openings at the top and bottom. The bottom of the fish feed bin 2 has a downward-sloping feeding hopper 21. The lower end of the feeding hopper 21 is provided with a feeding port 22. When the feeding mechanism 6 has not slid out of the feeding bin 3, the feeding port 22 corresponds to the upper opening of the feeding port 621. The fish feed in the fish feed bin 2 enters the space formed by the feeding port 621 and the bottom wall of the discharge bin through the feeding port 22. When the feeding mechanism 6 partially slides out of the feeding bin 3, the bottom of the feeding port 621 detaches from the bottom wall of the feeding bin 3. At this time, the fish feed falls from the lower opening of the feeding port 621 into the fish tank.

[0028] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the feeding mechanism 6 includes a rotary motor 61, a feeding plate 62, an eccentric rod 63, and a push rod 64. The rotary motor 61 is fixed inside the feeding bin 3 and provides power during feeding. The eccentric rod 63 is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotary motor 61. The feeding port 621 is located on one side of the feeding plate 62. The end of the feeding plate 62 away from the feeding port 621 is provided with a strip-shaped hole 622 along the width direction of the feeding plate 62. One end of the push rod 64 is provided with a bushing that fits around the eccentric rod 63 and is rotatably connected to the eccentric shaft through the bushing. The other end is located inside the strip-shaped hole 622 and can slide along the strip-shaped hole 622 when driven by the rotary motor 61. The feeding bin 3 has a feeding plate on its side wall. The feeding port 621 slides out of the channel 31 of the feeding bin 3. In the initial state, the outer end of the feeding plate 62 is flush with the end of the channel 31. When the rotary motor 61 rotates 180 degrees, the eccentric rod 63 rotates and acts on the push rod 64, causing the push rod 64 to drive the feeding plate 62 to slide out of or into the feeding bin 3 from the channel 31. The feeding material slides out of the feeding bin 3 completely under the action of the push rod 64, and the feeding channel 31 is blocked by the feeding plate 62. When the rotary motor 61 continues to rotate to 360 degrees, the feeding port 621 retracts into the feeding bin 3 and is aligned with the feeding port 22. At this time, the outer end of the feeding plate 62 is flush with the end of the channel 31, and the feeding plate 62 returns to the initial state.

[0029] Specifically, to prevent the fish feed from getting clogged, a lever 611 is fixed on the rotary motor 61, which extends into the feed hopper 21 to move the fish feed in the feed bin 2. When the rotary motor 61 is working, the vibration will drive the lever 611 to vibrate, thereby causing the fish feed to vibrate and slide into the feed inlet 621.

[0030] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, because the feeding port 621 of the feeding mechanism 6 slides out of the feeding bin 3 multiple times to feed the fish, the part that slides out is easily damp, causing the fish feed in the feeding bin 3 and the fish feed bin 2 to become damp. Therefore, the heating bin 4 is fixedly connected to the feeding bin 3. The heating bin 4 can be fixed on one side of the feeding bin 3 or fixed at the bottom of the feeding bin 3. In order to improve the heating effect, the heating bin 4 is preferably fixed at the bottom of the feeding bin 3. It is used to heat the feeding bin 3 to remove moisture from the fish feed bin 2. The heating bin 4 is equipped with a lamp plate 41, and the lamp plate 41 is equipped with heating lamps 42 for heating the feeding bin 3. In order to improve the dehumidification effect, there are several heating lamps 42 and they are evenly distributed on the lamp plate 41. After the heating bin 4 is set, when the feeding port 621 slides into the fish feed bin 2, the heating lamps 42 in the heating bin 4 can dry the damp part in time to prevent the fish feed in the feeding bin 3 and the fish feed bin 2 from becoming damp and moldy.

[0031] like Figure 5As shown, the drying chamber 5 is located above the fish feed container 2 and covers the opening of the fish feed container 2. Specifically, the bottom edge of the drying chamber 5 has an annular insertion part 521 that extends downwards and inserts into the side wall of the fish feed container 2. The top side wall edge of the drying chamber 5 has an annular limiting platform 522 that extends horizontally in the circumferential direction. The annular insertion part 521 is inserted into the fish feed container 2, covering the opening of the fish feed container 2, and the limiting platform abuts against the top of the fish feed container 2. The side wall of the annular insertion part 521 is in close contact with the side wall of the fish feed container 2 to reduce the contact between the fish feed container 2 and the outside air. The drying chamber 5 is used to hold a desiccant to absorb moisture in the feeding box 1, keeping the feeding box 1 in a dry environment and preventing the fish feed in the feeding box 1 from becoming damp and moldy.

[0032] Specifically, the drying chamber 5 includes a bottom plate 51 and a top cover 52. The bottom plate 51 is shaped like a bottom-convex disc, and its edge has a vertically upward-stepping first annular platform 512 along its circumferential direction. The side wall of the top cover 52 has a second annular platform 523 for abutting the first annular platform 512. The second annular platform 523 is stepped and has a diameter larger than that of the first annular platform 512. The bottom plate 51 abuts against the top cover 52 through the cooperation of the first annular platform 512 and the second annular platform 523. For easy installation and disassembly, when desiccant is placed inside, the bottom plate 51 is preferably made of an elastic material, such as silicone. During installation, the bottom plate 51 is deformed by squeezing it so that the first annular platform 512 abuts against the second annular platform 523. During disassembly, the bottom plate 51 is deformed by squeezing it so that the first annular platform 512 is pulled outward from the second annular platform 523. The bottom of the drying chamber 5 has several through holes 511 that communicate with the fish feed chamber 2. The through holes 511 are specifically located on the bottom plate 51. To enhance the moisture-proof effect, the through holes 511 are strip-shaped through holes 511, and multiple strip-shaped through holes 511 are distributed in a circular array in the middle of the bottom plate 51.

[0033] Specifically, the feeder also includes a bracket 7 for fixing the feeding box 1. The bracket 7 can be fixed to the fish tank or other object so that the feeding box 1 is located above the fish tank. The bracket 7 includes a vertical support rod 71 and a horizontal support rod 72. A fixing seat 73 is fixed to the lower side of the vertical support rod 71. The fixing seat 73 has a fixing plate 731. The fixing plate 731 has a connecting hole. A bolt for fixing the vertical support rod 71 to the fish tank or other object is provided in the connecting hole. When the vertical support rod 71 is fixed to the fish tank or other object, the fish tank or other object should have a hole for the bolt to pass through. The mounting holes are provided. Bolts pass through the connecting holes and mounting holes, and nuts are tightened at the ends to fix the vertical support rod 72 to the fish tank or other objects. One end of the horizontal support rod 72 is fixedly connected to the feeding box 1, and the other end is provided with a sleeve 721 that fits on the vertical support rod 71. The sleeve 721 has a threaded hole with a fastening screw. By tightening the fastening screw, the horizontal support rod 72 can be fixed to the vertical support rod 71. When the fastening screw is loosened, the horizontal support rod 72 can be slid up and down to adjust the height of the horizontal support rod 72, thereby adjusting the height of the feeding box 1.
