[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Refer Figures 1-3 As shown, the discharging mechanism of the pet feeder in this embodiment includes a grain storage bin 1, a pair of turntables 2 and a rotating cylinder 3. A grain discharging cavity 4 is provided in the grain storage bin 1. The rotating cylinder 3 is fixedly sleeved on a rotating shaft 5. The two ends of the rotating shaft 5 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the grain discharging cavity 4. A pair of turntables 2 are symmetrically and fixedly sleeved on the rotating cylinder 3. A plurality of support plates 6 are fixed between the pair of turntables 2. The plurality of support plates 6 are evenly distributed in a ring shape. One end of the support plate 6 facing the rotating cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the rotating cylinder 3. A pair of gaps 7 are symmetrically provided on the pair of turntables 2 between adjacent support plates 6. Feeding ports 8 communicating with the grain discharging cavity 4 are recessed on the front and rear outer walls of the grain storage bin 1. A discharging port 9 communicating with the grain discharging cavity 4 is provided on the lower side wall of one side of the grain storage bin 1.

[0023] Furthermore, a ring gear 10 is provided on the outer wall of one of the turntables 2. A driving port 11 communicating with the grain discharging cavity 4 is provided on the side wall of the grain storage bin 1. A gear 12 that can pass through the driving port 11 and mesh with the ring gear 10 is provided outside the grain storage bin 1. A driving motor 13 for driving the gear 12 to rotate is provided outside the grain storage bin 1.

[0024] Furthermore, the gear 12 is fixedly sleeved on the output end of the driving motor 13.

[0025] Furthermore, both ends of the rotating shaft 5 penetrate through the grain storage bin 1 and extend outside the grain storage bin 1 and are fixedly sleeved with stirring blades 14 to stir the grains by the stirring blades to avoid blockage and ensure smooth feeding.

[0026] Furthermore, a brush 15 facing the turntable 2 is fixed at the position of the grain storage bin 1 corresponding to the discharging port 9 to brush the grains accumulated at the gap to ensure smooth grain transportation.

[0027] Furthermore, the grain outlet 1 is provided with a limiting cavity 16, which contains a horizontally arranged pin 17 and a vertically arranged button 18. The top of the button 18 extends through the grain outlet 1 to the outside of the grain outlet 1. The button 18 has a protruding annular protrusion 19 that abuts against the inner wall of the limiting cavity 16. One end of the pin 17 extends through the grain outlet 1 to the outside of the grain outlet 1, and the other end of the pin 17 abuts against the inner wall of the limiting cavity 16 via a spring 20. The pin 17 has a recessed limiting hole 21. The bottom end of the button 18 extends into the limiting hole 21. The bottom end of the button 18 and the side wall of the limiting hole 21 have mutually abutting inclined surfaces 22. The inclined surfaces 22 on the button 18 face the spring 20. Pressing the button controls whether the pin is inserted or not, thus facilitating the connection between the grain outlet and the feeder.

[0028] Furthermore, bulges 23 are provided on the front and rear outer walls of the grain outlet 1. These bulges increase the space in the grain outlet, thereby preventing grain from getting stuck in the outlet cavity during operation.

[0029] Furthermore, the bulge 23 is provided with a long strip protrusion 24, which acts as a guide for the grain as it falls down during the operation of the grain discharge cavity, thereby reducing the amount of grain remaining in the grain discharge cavity and preventing grain jamming.

[0030] In this technical solution, the gear drives the turntable to rotate. The food enters the space formed by the feed inlet, the inner wall of the feed outlet, a pair of turntables and the rotating cylinder. After rotation, the food is discharged from the feed outlet by its own weight, forming an automated food discharge. It can automatically feed pets without manual operation. It is simple, convenient and highly practical.
