Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of feeder technology, specifically relating to a moisture-proof feeder. Background Technology

[0002] Aquarium feeders mainly consist of: a motor mount and transmission assembly, a feed bin assembly, a feed bin end cap assembly, and a feeder clamp assembly. See [link / reference needed] Figure 3 As shown: After a period of use, the fish food in the feed bin becomes damp and clumps due to moisture intrusion, causing the fish food to spoil. The existing technology is that moisture enters the feed bin from the motor drive end, and moisture can also enter the feed bin from the feeding port on the end cover. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problems mentioned in the background section, this invention provides a moisture-proof feeder that effectively prevents moisture from entering the feed bin, thus preventing fish feed from becoming damp and spoiling, ensuring the dryness and freshness of the fish feed, promoting the healthy growth of fish, and enhancing the user experience in aquarium farming.

[0004] Structural Composition: This moisture-proof feeder mainly features an added feed hopper connector and an optimized feed hopper end cap sealing assembly. The feed hopper end cap sealing assembly includes a feeding port cap, an EVA cotton sealing gasket, a copper block, and a magnet. The feed hopper end cap is equipped with a fish feed channel.

[0005] Connection and Position Relationship: The feed hopper connector is tightly installed on the motor drive end of the feed hopper, serving as a seal to prevent moisture from entering from this end. In the feed hopper end cover section, the feeding port cover is located at the feeding port and is movable; an EVA cotton sealing gasket is installed around the feeding port; a copper block is connected to the feeding port cover, and a magnet is installed inside the feed hopper end cover at a position corresponding to the feeding port cover.

[0006] When not feeding, the feeding opening faces upwards. The combined weight of the feeding opening cover and the copper block, along with the magnetic attraction, firmly presses the EVA cotton sealing gasket against the feeding opening, providing a good seal and effectively preventing moisture from entering the feed chamber through the feeding opening and fish food channel. When feeding begins, the feed chamber end cap rotates one full turn, turning the feeding opening downwards. At this point, the total weight of the feeding opening cover and the copper block exceeds the magnetic attraction, causing the feeding opening cover to open. Fish food then automatically falls into the aquarium through the fish food channel, achieving automatic feeding.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0008] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has significant advantages. By adding a feed bin connector and optimizing the feed bin end cap sealing assembly, it effectively prevents moisture from entering the feed bin, slows down the oxidation rate of fish feed, and ensures the dryness and freshness of the fish feed. This helps fish grow healthily, reduces waste caused by feed spoilage, lowers users' breeding costs, improves user satisfaction with the aquarium feeder, and enhances the product's market competitiveness.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Example 1

[0019] like Figure 1-3 As shown;

[0020] A moisture-proof feeder includes a feed bin connector 1, a feed bin end cap 2, and a feed bin end cap sealing assembly 3.

[0021] In this implementation plan: In order to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art, such as the "existing technology disclosed in the background art above: water vapor enters the feed bin from the motor drive end of the feed bin, and water vapor can also enter the feed bin from the feeding port of the feed bin end cover" in practical use, this problem is obviously a real and difficult problem to solve. Therefore, in order to solve this technical problem, a moisture-proof feeder is provided on the basis of this.

[0022] like Figure 1-3 As shown in the figure;

[0023] Based on the above, the feed bin connector 1 is installed on the motor drive end of the feed bin; the feed bin end cover sealing assembly 3 includes a feeding port cover 31, an EVA cotton sealing gasket 32, a copper block 33 and a magnet 34, and the feed bin end cover 2 is provided with a fish feed channel 21.

[0024] When not feeding, the combined force of the weight of the feeding port cover 31 and the copper block 33 and the attraction of the magnet 34 causes the EVA cotton sealing gasket 32 ​​to tightly seal the feeding port; when feeding, the total weight of the feeding port cover 31 and the copper block 33 is greater than the attraction of the magnet 34, and the feeding port cover 31 opens.

[0025] EVA cotton sealing gasket 32 ​​is installed around the feeding port of the feed bin end cover 2, the copper block 33 is fixed on the feeding port cover 31, and the magnet 34 is installed inside the feed bin end cover 2 at a position corresponding to the feeding port cover 31.

[0026] Feeders are used in glass or acrylic aquariums to enable automatic feeding and prevent food from getting damp and spoiling.

[0027] Installation and Assembly: During the manufacturing process, the feed hopper connector is made of a water-resistant material with good sealing performance, such as silicone or special plastics, and is formed through injection molding or compression molding to ensure a tight fit with the feed hopper motor drive end. Each component of the feed hopper end cover sealing assembly, such as the feeding port cover, EVA cotton sealing gasket, copper block, and magnet, is manufactured using appropriate materials. The EVA cotton sealing gasket uses highly elastic and highly sealing EVA material, and is die-cut into a suitable shape and size; the copper block is precision cast or machined according to design requirements; and the magnet is a neodymium iron boron magnet with stable magnetic force and resistance to demagnetization.

[0028] During assembly, first securely install the feed hopper connector onto the motor drive end of the feed hopper, using either an interference fit or adhesive bonding. Next, accurately attach the EVA cotton sealing gasket around the feeding port on the feed hopper end cover, ensuring the gasket is flat and wrinkle-free. Then, fix the copper block to the feeding port cover, using welding, riveting, or strong adhesive bonding to ensure a secure connection. Next, install the feeding port cover with the copper block installed onto the feed hopper end cover, allowing it to rotate freely. Finally, install the magnet inside the feed hopper end cover at the corresponding position, securing it with a positioning groove or adhesive to ensure accurate magnetic force. After completing the above assembly, assemble the entire feeder with the motor mount drive assembly, feeder clamp assembly, and other components to form a complete feeder product.

[0029] Instructions for use: When using this moisture-proof feeder, first select a suitable installation location based on the size of the aquarium and the number of fish. Securely install the feeder onto the glass or acrylic aquarium using the feeder clip assembly. Then, open the feed compartment, add an appropriate amount of fish food, and close the compartment. Set the feeding time and amount according to the fish's growth needs and feeding habits. During daily use, users do not need to worry about the food getting damp; simply check the remaining food in the compartment periodically and replenish as needed. When cleaning is required, disassemble and clean the feeder following the instructions; it is quick and easy.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
