[0038] Reference Figures 1 to 13 The method of use and principle of this utility model's draining pet feeder are as follows:
[0039] The user places a food bowl 4 containing food (which may be food with water) into one of the bowl holes of the drain rack 3, and then places another food bowl 4 containing water into the other bowl hole of the drain rack 3.
[0040] When pets eat, especially when they lick or chew quickly, the food in one food bowl 4 and the water in the other food bowl 4 are very likely to overflow into the drain trough 11. The overflowing water and the wet food can be separated naturally under the action of gravity. The water flows into the water storage space 211 below through the drain hole 111, while the food residue remains in the drain trough 11, thus achieving dry and wet separation of the overflow.
[0041] When the feeder needs to be cleaned, the user only needs to manually push the two latches 13 outward to unlock the latches 13 from the tray 22, so that the drain tray 1 can be separated from the base 2 for easy rinsing of the water tank 21.
[0042] When the height of the drain rack 3 needs to be adjusted to accommodate the pet's height, the user only needs to press the adjustment platform 81 to disengage the adjustment platform 81 from the locking hole 74, and then adjust the length of the telescopic leg 6 extending outside the sleeve 7 so that the adjustment platform 81 is located in another locking hole 74, thus enabling the manual extension and retraction of the support leg 5.
[0043] When the feeder needs to be stored, the user needs to pull the support leg 5 outward along the tilt direction of the support leg 5 until the limiting strip 231 is disengaged from the limiting groove 72 (i.e., the limiting strip 231 is located outside the limiting groove 72), and the locking platform 232 moves from the locking groove 73 into the rotating groove 71. The user can then rotate the entire support leg 5 to the open side of the slot 23 and fold the support leg 5 inward to the bottom of the drain bowl rack 3.
[0044] When the feeder is needed, the user first rotates the support leg 5 outward until the limiting groove 72 is aligned with the limiting strip 231. Then, the user pushes the support leg 5 inward along the tilt direction of the support leg 5 so that the limiting strip 231 is located in the limiting groove 72, the locking platform 232 is locked into the locking slot 73, and the support leg 5 can then tilt and unfold.
[0045] Reference Figures 1 to 13 This utility model discloses a drainable pet feeder with an open top for easy feeding and observation of the pet. The bottom of the open area of the drainable bowl 3 has a drain groove 11 and bowl holes. The food bowl 4 is placed in the bowl holes, fitting snugly against the drain groove 11. The drain groove 11 is arranged in a ring around the food bowl 4, with multiple drain holes 111 evenly distributed at its bottom. The design of these drain holes 111 allows overflowing water and wet food to separate naturally under gravity. Water flows through the drain holes 111 into the water storage space 211 below, while food residue remains in the drain groove 11 for easy cleaning. This utility model not only effectively prevents food and water from overflowing but also achieves dry and wet separation of overflow, greatly reducing the difficulty and frequency of cleaning. Simultaneously, the design of the water storage space 211 allows overflowing water to be collected and treated promptly, avoiding problems of water retention and odor. Therefore, the draining pet feeder of this invention has significant advantages in improving the cleanliness of the pet's living environment and the pet's health.
[0046] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent changes made in accordance with the scope of the patent application of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
