Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet feeder technology, and more specifically to an outlet structure that can increase the number of times food is dispensed and a pet feeder thereof. Background Technology

[0002] There are many types of pet feeders on the market to meet the needs of various pets and sizes. In particular, with the increasing popularity of AI intelligence, it is possible for one machine to be able to feed multiple pets at the same time. This requires the machine itself to have as many feeding times as possible to meet the needs of various feeding amounts at one time.

[0003] However, existing pet feeders tend to concentrate food at the dispensing port after feeding. Since large pets require more food and need to be fed multiple times, the dispensing port often becomes clogged after 3-4 feedings. This limits their applicability to small and medium-sized pets. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] An outlet structure that can increase the number of times a food is dispensed includes a dispensing channel disposed within a pet feeder. The dispensing channel is inclined downward from its inlet end to its outlet end. The inner bottom wall of the dispensing channel is a flat slope. The width of the outlet end of the dispensing channel is greater than the width of the inlet end.

[0006] The present invention is further configured such that: the discharge channel includes an upper section and a lower section, the feeding end is located in the upper section, the discharge end is located in the lower section, and the inclination angle of the lower section is smaller than that of the upper section.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that the width of the lower segment gradually increases from top to bottom.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: the two side walls of the lower section are arc-shaped, and the arc shape protrudes outward.

[0009] The present invention is further configured to include a feeding trough seat, wherein the dispensing channel is disposed on the feeding trough seat, and the feeding trough seat is fixed to the pet feeder.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: a baffle plate is provided above the discharge channel of the feeding trough, and the baffle plate and the discharge channel form a discharge port.

[0011] In addition, this utility model also proposes a pet feeder, including the above-mentioned outlet structure.

[0012] The present invention is further configured to include a base, on which a food storage container and a pet bowl are provided, and an outlet structure is fixed to the food storage container, through which food in the food storage container is poured into the pet bowl.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following advantages:

[0014] 1. By designing the discharge channel as a funnel-shaped structure with the discharge port larger than the inlet, the food can spread outwards as much as possible when poured out, making it less likely for food to accumulate at the discharge port. Furthermore, the inner bottom wall of the discharge channel of this invention is a flat slope. Compared with the traditional arc-shaped discharge channel, this structure allows small food particles to easily spread outwards and cover the inner bottom wall while rolling, rather than gathering in the middle. By minimizing the accumulation of food at the discharge port, the pet feeder can increase the number of times it can dispense food.

[0015] 2. Set the slope of the lower section of the discharge channel near the outlet to a small angle so that the food can travel as far as possible in a parabola after sliding out of the channel, keeping the food away from the discharge outlet, thereby further increasing the number of times the food is discharged before blocking the discharge outlet.

[0016] 3. Set the two side walls of the lower section of the discharge channel to an outward convex arc shape, which can increase the width of the discharge port without changing the bottom wall of the discharge channel. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can typically be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0025] First embodiment:

[0026] An outlet structure that can increase the number of discharges, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the device includes a dispensing channel within the pet feeder. The dispensing channel slopes downwards from the inlet to the outlet, allowing food to flow from the feeder into the pet bowl 7. The dispensing channel is formed by a bottom wall 201 and two side walls 202. The inner bottom wall 201 of the dispensing channel is a flat slope, allowing food to easily spread outwards and cover the inner bottom wall 201 as it rolls within the channel, preventing it from pooling in the center. The width of the outlet end is greater than the width of the inlet end, ensuring that the food spreads as far as possible to both sides of the pet bowl 7 when poured out, preventing accumulation at the dispensing port 8.

[0027] The feeding channel consists of an upper section 1 and a lower section 2. The feeding end is located in the upper section 1, and the feeding end is located in the lower section 2. The upper section 1 and the lower section 2 are integrally formed. The inclination angle b of the lower section 2 is smaller than the inclination angle a of the upper section 1, and the lower section 2 is gentler than the upper section 1. This allows the food to slide out in a parabolic trajectory in the lower section 2, ensuring that the food lands as close as possible to the center of the pet bowl 7, rather than accumulating below the feeding port 8.

[0028] The width of the lower section 2 gradually increases from top to bottom. The width of the lower section 2 is the same as that of the upper section 1. The two sides gradually expand outwards downwards, forming a trumpet-like shape. When food slides out along the lower section 2, it spreads outwards along the inner bottom wall 201, increasing the discharge area of ​​the food. This further increases the number of times food can be discharged before it blocks the discharge port 8.

[0029] The two side walls 202 of the lower section 2 are arc-shaped and protrude outward, which can maximize the discharge volume without increasing the width of the bottom wall 201 of the discharge channel.

[0030] The outlet structure also includes a food trough 3, on which a discharge channel is located and fixed with bolts. The food trough 3 is then fixed to the pet feeder. The food trough 3 is fixed to the side of the pet feeder facing the pet bowl 7. The inlet end of the discharge channel extends into the pet feeder and connects to the food storage container 6. The outlet end of the discharge channel faces the pet bowl 7, so the food in the food storage container 6 is poured into the pet bowl 7 through the discharge channel.

[0031] The feeding trough 3 is located above the discharge channel and is equipped with a baffle plate 4. The baffle plate 4 and the discharge channel form a discharge port 8, which limits the size of the discharge port 8 and the discharge volume.

[0032] Second embodiment:

[0033] A pet feeder, such as Figure 4 As shown, this includes an outlet structure that can increase the number of discharges as described in the above embodiments.

[0034] The pet feeder also includes a base 5, on which a food storage container 6 and a pet bowl 7 are mounted. An outlet structure is fixed to the side of the food storage container 6 facing the pet bowl 7. The discharge channel of the outlet structure is connected to the food storage container 6. Food in the food storage container 6 is poured into the pet bowl 7 through the discharge channel of the outlet structure. Due to the special design of the outlet structure, food is less likely to accumulate at the discharge port 8 after being poured out, increasing the number of times the pet feeder can dispense food. This makes the pet feeder suitable not only for small and medium-sized pets but also for large pets.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the design concept of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
