Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a push food device field, concretely relates to a timing electric push food device. BACKGROUND

[0002] For the purpose of entertainment or production, human beings usually feed pets, domestic animals or other economic animals, wherein, feeding in a fixed time and quantity is a more scientific animal feeding mode at present. Excessive feeding will cause the digestive system of animals to be heavier, and the digestion time to be prolonged, and will cause obesity and affect the action ability, if mixed feed is fed, animals can eat only the food they like, which will cause unbalanced nutrition, and insufficient feeding will also affect the health and development of animals. In addition, the feeding frequency is usually 2-3 times a day, and some feeding time is not bright, and some feeding time is the working time of the feeder, if artificial feeding is needed each time, it is very inconvenient.

[0003] The patent with the publication number CN203912893U discloses an automatic timing push food device, and food automatically flows to the tray, and then the food on the tray is swept to the lower side of the tray in a timing manner.

[0004] However, the existing push food device has the following shortcomings:

[0005] 1. The feeding cylinder bottom and the food outlet device are connected together, and it is not convenient to separately take down the feeding cylinder to the ground to add food or clean the inside of the feeding cylinder when adding food.

[0006] 2. There is no clear feeding area, and food is randomly scattered, which can easily cause animals to tread on the food, thereby polluting the food and affecting health.

[0007] 3. The feeding area is troublesome to clean, and needs to be bent down to sweep, which is not good for the health of the waist of the feeder.

[0008] Therefore, a timing electric push food device is needed to solve the above problems. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0009] The utility model intends to provide a timing electric push food device, so as to separately detach the feeding cylinder.

[0010] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: a timing electric push food device, comprising a feeding cylinder, a food outlet is arranged below the feeding cylinder, a food outlet device is arranged below the food outlet, the food outlet device is usually in a normally closed state, the food outlet device is used for blocking the food outlet and opening at a set time, when the food outlet device is opened, the blocking of the food outlet is released, and the food in the bottom of the feeding cylinder sequentially passes through the food outlet and the food outlet device, so as to be eaten by animals.

[0011] It also includes a support structure, with the feeder and feeding tube designed separately. The feeder is connected to the support structure, and the feeding tube is supported on the support structure. The area below the support structure is the animal's feeding area.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this plan are:

[0013] 1. The feeder and feeding container are designed to be separate, making it easy to remove the feeding container separately for adding food or cleaning the inside. It also makes it easy to remove the feeder separately for cleaning.

[0014] 2. The food falls directly from the feeding tube onto the support structure, forming a feeding area for the animals so that they can eat in a concentrated manner within this area.

[0015] The present invention aims to provide a timed electric feeder with a clearly defined feeding area, which prevents food from being scattered randomly or trampled by animals, thereby ensuring food hygiene.

[0016] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a timed electric feeder, including a feeding cylinder, a feeding outlet at the bottom of the feeding cylinder, and a feed dispenser at the bottom of the feeding outlet. The feed dispenser is normally in a closed state and is used to block the feeding outlet and open it at a set time. When the feed dispenser opens, it releases the blockage of the feeding outlet, and the food at the bottom of the feeding cylinder passes through the feeding outlet and the feed dispenser in sequence for the animal to eat.

[0017] It also includes a support structure, with a diffuser located at the center below the support structure. The diffuser includes a conical part with an impact part at the upper end. The support structure includes several legs arranged circumferentially around the diffuser. The animal's body cannot pass through the space between adjacent legs. The area between the diffuser and the legs is the animal's feeding area.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this plan are:

[0019] 1. To prevent animals from stepping into the feeding area and contaminating the food, this solution uses a diffuser to ensure that the food falls as close as possible to the outriggers, thereby guiding the animals to eat directly near the outriggers and ensuring food hygiene.

[0020] 2. After the food falls, it collides with the impact part of the disperser and scatters. The more food in the feeding hopper, the faster the food at the bottom falls, the greater the impact force, and the farther the food falls from the impact part. When it is found that the food falls close to the impact part, it means that the food in the feeding hopper should be replenished.

[0021] The present invention aims to provide a timed electric feeder to facilitate cleaning of the feeding area and ensure food hygiene.

[0022] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a timed electric feeder, including a feeding cylinder, a feeding outlet at the bottom of the feeding cylinder, and a feed dispenser at the bottom of the feeding outlet. The feed dispenser is normally in a closed state and is used to block the feeding outlet and open it at a set time. When the feed dispenser opens, it releases the blockage of the feeding outlet, and the food at the bottom of the feeding cylinder passes through the feeding outlet and the feed dispenser in sequence for the animal to eat.

[0023] It also includes a support structure, which consists of several legs. A tray is located below the support structure and is positioned between the legs. The width of the tray is less than the distance between adjacent legs.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: Compared to directly supporting the legs on the tray, this solution places the tray between the legs, making it easy to pick up and clean the tray at any time; thereby achieving the effect of cleaning the eating area and ensuring food hygiene.

[0025] The present invention aims to provide a timed electric feeder to extend the feeding cycle in the feeder, so as to adapt to situations where the feeder is away for a long time.

[0026] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a timed electric feeder, including a feeding cylinder, a feeding outlet at the bottom of the feeding cylinder, and a feed dispenser at the bottom of the feeding outlet. The feed dispenser is normally in a closed state and is used to block the feeding outlet and open it at a set time. When the feed dispenser opens, it releases the blockage of the feeding outlet, and the food at the bottom of the feeding cylinder passes through the feeding outlet and the feed dispenser in sequence for the animal to eat.

[0027] It also includes a height-increasing tube, the lower end of which is detachably connected to the upper end of the feeding tube, the height-increasing tube is used to increase the capacity of the feeding tube, and the top of the height-increasing tube is detachably connected to the bottom of another height-increasing tube.

[0028] The beneficial effects of this scheme are: it facilitates extending the feeding cycle; when the keeper is away for a long time, the food in the container can meet the food supply for a longer period of time; and the number of height-increasing containers can be adjusted according to the length of time the keeper is away.

[0029] Furthermore, both the feeding tube and the height-increasing tube have internal threads at the top and external threads at the bottom. The bottom of the height-increasing tube is used to connect with the feeding tube or the top of another height-increasing tube via a threaded connection.

[0030] Furthermore, the feeder includes a housing, on which a feed motor, a feed shaft, and a timer are mounted. Openings are provided on both the top and bottom of the housing to allow food to pass through. The output shaft of the feed motor is horizontally positioned and connected to the feed shaft. A feed switch is mounted on the feed shaft; rotating the feed switch causes food to fall from the bottom of the feeding hopper.

[0031] The timer is connected to the feeding motor, and the timer is used to control the start time and running time of the feeding motor.

[0032] Furthermore, the food dispensing switch includes an impeller, which includes a disc. The disc has several moving blades integrally formed in the circumferential direction, and side baffle structures are provided on the front and rear sides of the disc.

[0033] Furthermore, the casing is equipped with a grain-blocking brush, which is used to prevent food from falling directly downwards and to prevent grain from getting stuck.

[0034] Furthermore, the feeding switch includes a blocking part and a stirring part. The blocking part is a semi-cylindrical shell, and the semi-circular straight side of the blocking part is provided with a transfer opening.

[0035] When the blocking part rotates above the feeding shaft, it blocks the feeding port; when the blocking part moves away from above the feeding shaft, the opening of the feeding port expands, and the amount of food flowing out of the feeding port gradually increases; when the stirring part rotates above the feeding shaft, it partially invades the feeding port.

[0036] Furthermore, the bottom of the feeding tube is inverted cone shape.

[0037] This solution also has the following effects:

[0038] 1. The feed dispensing motor has an adjustable feed dispensing rate, which is adjusted by the running time. The feed dispensing motor rotates at a constant speed, and the running time is controlled by a timer. The timer is usually accurate to the second, thus ensuring that the feeding time is strictly controlled by the breeder.

[0039] 2. The bottom of the feeding container is designed in an inverted cone shape to prevent food from piling up at the bottom and to ensure that the food eventually falls into the outlet, rather than accumulating in the bottom corner of the feeding container to rot and spoil.

[0040] 3. To reduce the amount of food adhering to the sealing or agitating parts, this solution uses a food-retaining brush to brush off the adhering food. After brushing the adhering food together, the food enters the groove formed between the moving blades along the inclined direction of the food-retaining brush. After the groove passes the position of the food-retaining brush, the groove rotates so that the opening faces downward, and the food in the groove falls below the supporting protective structure.

[0041] 4. The feeder in this design uses a horizontally positioned feeding shaft. One half of the feeding shaft is a semi-circular section with a blocking part, and the other half is several plate-shaped stirring parts. During the rotation of the feeding shaft, some of the blocking part and stirring parts will pass through the feeding port and enter the feeding tube, thereby stirring the food in the feeding tube and preventing food from getting stuck.

[0042] 5. To reduce food waste, the disperser can be removed and the feeding area expanded so that animals can directly enter the area under the supporting protective structure to feed. Attached Figure Description

[0050] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0051] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: feeding tube 1, feeding outlet 11, supporting and protective structure 2, cage 21, support leg 22, protective part 23, tray 3, shell 41, feeding motor 42, feeding shaft 43, extension section 44, food blocking brush 45, impeller 51, wheel 52, moving blade 53, sealing part 54, transfer opening 55, stirring plate 56, perforation 57, support barrel 6, ventilation hole 61, disperser 7, conical part 71, impact part 72.

[0052] Example 1

[0053] Example 1 is basically as follows Figures 1-3 As shown: A timed electric feeder, which includes, from top to bottom, a feeding tube, a support and protection structure, and a tray.

[0054] The feeding tube is made of aluminum and has a conical lid. The lid is counterweighted to increase the stability of the feeding tube and prevent it from being knocked over by mice when there is little food inside. The feeding tube is used to hold the animal's food. The inner side of the bottom surface of the feeding tube is inverted conical, and there is a feeding outlet at the center of the bottom surface of the feeding tube, that is, the feeding outlet is located at the lowest position of the feeding tube. The feeding outlet can be a circular hole, but in this embodiment, the feeding outlet is a rectangular hole.

[0055] The supporting and protective structure includes a protective section and a support section. The protective section can be a rectangular mesh cage. The protective section is welded to the bottom of the feeding tube. The height of the protective section is 20cm. The protective section is equipped with a feeding device. The protective section has corresponding notches at the feeding opening and feeding device positions. The support section is located on the lower side of the protective section. The support section includes four legs. The four legs are welded to the four corners of the bottom of the protective section. The height of each leg is 20cm. The tray is square and placed between the four legs.

[0056] The feeder is used to seal the feed outlet and open it at fixed intervals. When the feeder opens, the seal on the feed outlet is released, and the feeder slides across the food at the bottom of the feeding container. The food passes sequentially through the feed outlet, the feeder, and the supporting protective structure, finally falling below the supporting protective structure for the animal to eat. Specifically, the feeder includes a shell, which is welded to the bottom of the feeding container. Openings are located at the center of both the upper and lower sides of the shell to allow food to pass through. Figure 3 As shown, a feeding motor is bolted to the housing. The feeding motor can be controlled by a controller to rotate a certain number of revolutions at a fixed time or a fixed time interval. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail. The output shaft of the feeding motor is set horizontally and is keyed to one end of the feeding shaft. The other end of the feeding shaft is inserted from the inside of the housing and rotatably connected to the housing.

[0057] The feeding shaft is divided into a basic section and an extension section along its length. The length of the basic section is adapted to the width of the feeding opening. Figure 2 The horizontal direction of the feeding inlet is the length direction, and the direction perpendicular to the paper is the width direction. The basic section is equipped with a feeding switch, which is used to block and open the feeding inlet. The feeding switch includes an impeller, and the impeller includes a wheel disk. The basic section passes through the wheel disk and is welded to the wheel disk. The wheel disk is integrally formed with several moving blades in the circumferential direction. Side baffle structures are provided on the front and rear sides of the wheel disk respectively. In this embodiment, a part of the shell is used as a side baffle structure on the side of the wheel disk closer to the feeding motor, while the diameter of the extended section of the feeding shaft is larger than that of the wheel disk. The extended section serves as a support structure on the side of the wheel disk away from the feeding motor. The top of the extended section can abut against the lower surface of the feeding tube. Since the extended section has a circular cross-section, there will inevitably be some gaps between the extended section and the feeding tube. These gaps should be minimized as much as possible, or the food in the feeding tube should be prevented from passing through these gaps.

[0058] When the feeding motor stops working, the housing, impeller, extension section, and two moving blades enclose the feeding opening to seal it; as... Figure 2 As shown, the moving blades used for sealing are not necessarily adjacent; the distance between two moving blades and the length of the feeding inlet is determined to achieve the sealing effect. When the feeder opens, the food leaves the feeding inlet as the moving blades rotate. When the moving blades rotate to below the feeding shaft, all the food between the moving blades has fallen down.

[0059] If the feed outlet is blocked and the space between the driving wheels is full of feed, the feed will be squeezed from the basic section into the extension section when the feed shaft rotates, thus reducing the amount of feed between the driving wheels and ensuring smooth rotation of the feed shaft; considering the above, if Figure 2 As shown, this solution has a grain-blocking brush inside the housing. The brush handle of the grain-blocking brush is bolted to the inner side of the housing. The grain-blocking brush prevents the food from falling directly down and prevents the food from getting stuck. The length of the grain-blocking brush is greater than the length of the basic section of the feeding shaft. In this embodiment, the length of the grain-blocking brush is equal to the sum of the lengths of the basic section and the extended section of the feeding shaft.

[0060] In addition, it includes at least one heightening tube, which is used to increase the capacity of the feeding tube. The lower end of the heightening tube is used to be threaded to the feeding tube, and the top of the heightening tube is used to be threaded to the bottom of another heightening tube.

[0061] Example 2

[0062] The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that the protective part is a rectangular frame, and protective netting is welded to the sides and bottom of the rectangular frame. The grain outlet channel is the mesh of the protective netting at the bottom of the protective part. Two long strip support plates are welded to the upper sides of the rectangular frame, and the support cylinder is a rectangular cylinder, with the bottom of the support cylinder supported on the support plates.

[0063] Example 3

[0064] The difference between Example 3 and Example 1 is as follows: Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a support bucket with the opening facing downwards. The support and protective structure includes a protective part of a cage structure with the opening facing upwards. The support bucket is housed inside the protective part. The feeder is fixed inside the support bucket. The shell of the feeder is welded to the support bucket. Several ventilation holes are opened on the side wall of the support bucket. In this embodiment, the ventilation holes are arch-shaped. The side wall of the protective part is composed of several vertically equidistant uprights. The bottom of the protective part is composed of several equidistant horizontal bars. Several vertical support legs are welded circumferentially to the lower edge of the protective part. The gap between the support legs is used for the animal's head to pass through for feeding. The gap between the support legs is smaller than the width of the animal's body.

[0065] The tray is round, with legs supporting it. A disperser is welded to the center of the tray. The disperser includes a conical part, and the upper part of the conical part has a bullet-shaped impact part integrally formed. The side of the impact part is perpendicular to the ground. The area between the disperser and the legs is the animal's feeding area.

[0066] Example 4

[0067] The difference between Example 4 and Example 5 is that: Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, the feeding switch includes a blocking part and a stirring part. The blocking part is a semi-cylindrical shell welded to the feeding shaft 43 and coaxial with it. The semi-circular straight side of the blocking part has a transfer opening. The stirring part consists of three stirring plates. One side of each of the three stirring plates is welded to the feeding shaft. The included angle between the three stirring plates is 45°. Each stirring plate has a rectangular perforation to ensure that the food between the stirring plates can enter the blocking part through the perforation.

[0068] When the blocking part rotates above the feeding shaft, it blocks the feeding port; when the blocking part moves away from above the feeding shaft, the opening of the feeding port expands, and the amount of food flowing out of the feeding port gradually increases; when the stirring part rotates above the feeding shaft, it partially invades the feeding port.

[0069] Example 5

[0070] The difference between Example 5 and Example 1 is that the inner side of the bottom surface of the feeding tube is flat, and an inverted conical funnel is provided inside the feeding tube. The upper edge of the funnel is welded to the inner wall of the feeding tube circumferentially, and the bottom of the funnel is aligned with the feeding outlet. This example is suitable for modifying existing cylindrical feeding tubes.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the technical solutions of the present invention, and these should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention. These modifications and improvements will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of the present invention or the practicality of the patent.
