Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet supplies, and in particular to a feeder. Background Technology

[0002] Nowadays, pet feeders are widely used in pet care, making it easier for owners to feed their pets daily.

[0003] Existing pet feeders have food outlets that connect to the outside, allowing outside air, moisture, and dust to easily enter the food storage area. This causes the food to become damp, moldy, and contaminated, reducing its quality and nutritional value. Pets that consume this spoiled food may experience gastrointestinal upset, food poisoning, and other health problems.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a feeder to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a feeder that solves the problem that existing feeders, due to their feed outlet being connected to the outside, cause the food to become damp and contaminated, thus harming the pet's health.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A feeder, comprising:

[0008] The shell has a grain outlet that connects to the outside.

[0009] A grain storage component is disposed within the inner cavity of the shell and is provided with a grain discharge port;

[0010] The grain discharge pipe is connected at one end to the grain discharge port and at the other end to the grain outlet.

[0011] A sealing assembly includes a seal rotatably disposed within the grain outlet pipe to switch between a sealed state and a grain outlet state. The side wall of the seal is provided with a grain storage trough. In the sealed state, the grain storage trough faces the grain outlet, and in the grain outlet state, the grain storage trough faces the grain outlet.

[0012] As an alternative to the feeder, the food storage trough is fan-shaped, and the distance between the two side walls of the food storage trough gradually increases in the radial direction away from the axis of the seal.

[0013] As an alternative to the feeder, the surface of the seal is covered with a soft rubber layer.

[0014] As an alternative to the feeder, the inner wall of the feed tube is provided with a sealing protrusion at the position where it abuts the seal, and the sealing protrusion is squeezed and sealed with the soft rubber layer.

[0015] As an alternative to the feeder, the feed tube includes a first feed tube and a second feed tube that are inserted into each other. The outer wall of the first feed tube is in contact with the inner wall of the second feed tube. The end of the first feed tube away from the second feed tube is connected to the feed outlet, and the end of the second feed tube away from the first feed tube is connected to the feed outlet.

[0016] As an alternative to the feeder, the sealing assembly also includes a drive unit disposed within the housing. The output end of the drive unit passes through the wall of the feed outlet pipe and is connected to the seal. The drive unit is capable of driving the seal to rotate.

[0017] As an alternative to the feeder, the feeder also includes a tray, which includes a transition section and a feeding section. One end of the transition section is connected to the feeding section and is set at an angle, and the other end of the transition section is connected to the feed outlet pipe and is located at one end of the feed outlet.

[0018] As an alternative to the feeder, the food storage component includes:

[0019] A grain storage silo is used to store grain and is equipped with a grain outlet.

[0020] The grain distribution bin is connected to the grain storage bin. The grain distribution bin is equipped with a grain discharge port. Along the axial direction of the grain storage bin, the orthographic projection of the grain discharge port is outside the orthographic projection of the grain discharge port. The inner cavity of the grain distribution bin is rotatably equipped with a partition, which can separate the grain and push the grain down from the grain discharge port.

[0021] As an alternative to the feeder, the divider includes a rotating part and multiple dividers, which are radially distributed around the axis of the rotating part on the outer periphery of the rotating part. The dividers are detachably connected to the rotating part to adjust the dividing capacity.

[0022] As an alternative to the feeder, the inner cavity of the grain storage bin is rotatably provided with a loosening element, which is configured to turn the grain.

[0023] Beneficial effects:

[0024] This invention provides a feeder with a rotatable sealing component inside the food dispensing tube. The sealing component has a food storage trough on its side wall. In the sealed state, the food storage trough faces the food outlet. Under gravity, some of the food in the storage component falls into the storage trough. Because the storage trough is relatively fixed in position and faces the food outlet, it can hold a certain amount of food, serving a temporary storage and quantitative function. Simultaneously, the sealing component seals the food dispensing tube, effectively blocking external air, moisture, and dust, preventing food contamination. During dispensing, the sealing component rotates, and the food storage trough on its side wall rotates accordingly, gradually facing the food outlet. The food in the storage trough then rotates out and is discharged steadily and orderly through the food outlet, providing pets with a measured and fresh amount of food. This design ensures the quality of food storage and achieves precise food dispensing, improving the feeder's practicality and reliability. Attached Figure Description

[0036] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0037] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part of the device. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0038] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature.

[0039] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper" and "lower," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0040] This embodiment provides a feeder, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the feeder includes a housing 1, a food storage assembly 2, a food dispensing pipe 3, and a sealing assembly 4. The housing 1 has a food dispensing port 11 that communicates with the outside. The food storage assembly 2 is located inside the housing 1 and has a food discharge port 221. One end of the food dispensing pipe 3 is connected to the food discharge port 221, and the other end is connected to the food dispensing port 11. The sealing assembly 4 includes a sealing element 41, which is rotatably disposed inside the food dispensing pipe 3 to switch between a sealed state and a food dispensing state. The side wall of the sealing element 41 has a food storage trough 411. In the sealed state, the food storage trough 411 faces the food dispensing port 221; in the food dispensing state, the food storage trough 411 faces the food dispensing port 11.

[0041] like Figure 2As shown, in the sealed state, under the influence of gravity, some of the grain in the grain storage assembly 2 will fall into the grain storage trough 411. Since the grain storage trough 411 is relatively fixed in position and faces the grain discharge port 221, it can hold a certain amount of grain, playing a role in temporary storage and quantitative control. At the same time, the sealing element 41 seals the grain discharge pipe 3, which can effectively block outside air, moisture and dust, and avoid contaminating the grain. Figure 3 As shown, when dispensing food, the seal 41 begins to rotate, and the food storage trough 411 on its side wall also rotates accordingly, gradually moving towards the food outlet 11. The food in the storage trough 411 then rotates out and is discharged steadily and orderly through the food outlet 11, providing the pet with a fixed amount of fresh food. This design not only ensures the quality of food storage but also achieves precise food dispensing, improving the practicality and reliability of the feeder.

[0042] It is worth noting that food (not shown in the picture) refers to various kinds of food used to feed pets, usually in the form of pellets or crumbs, such as common cat food and dog food. This pet food is stored in the food storage component 2 of the feeder, and then discharged quantitatively and orderly through the cooperation of the food dispensing pipe 3 and sealing component 4, etc., for the pet to eat.

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, a fan-shaped groove is formed on the side wall of the cylindrical structure to create a sealing element 41. The grain storage trough 411 is fan-shaped, and the distance between the two side walls of the grain storage trough 411 gradually increases in the radial direction away from the axis of the sealing element 41. This fan-shaped structure presents a spatial change from narrow to wide from the axis to the edge, being narrower near the axis and wider at the edge. This allows the opening end of the grain storage trough 411 to hold more grain, effectively increasing the temporary storage capacity of the grain. At the same time, in the grain discharging state, based on the fan-shaped characteristics, under the action of gravity, the grain will naturally flow along the gradually widening side wall to the opening end, that is, the direction of the grain discharge port 11, thereby smoothly achieving stable grain discharging and ensuring the efficiency and orderliness of the grain discharging process.

[0044] Specifically, the grain storage trough 411 is fan-shaped with a central angle of less than 180 degrees. If the angle were greater than 180 degrees, the opening of the grain storage trough 411 would be too large to seal, allowing outside air, moisture, and dust to enter and affecting the quality of stored grain. The design of less than 180 degrees not only meets the grain storage requirements but also ensures the sealing of the grain outlet pipe 3 when the sealing element 41 rotates, thus ensuring grain quality and demonstrating the rationality of the feeder's structural design. Furthermore, the central angle of the grain storage trough 411 can be 45 degrees, 60 degrees, 90 degrees, 120 degrees, or 135 degrees, etc.

[0045] In this embodiment, the grain storage trough 411 extends through both ends of the sealing member 41 along its axial direction, expanding the internal space. Grain accumulates along the length of the grain storage trough 411, increasing the temporary storage capacity, replenishing the grain reserve, and ensuring stable operation of the feeder. In other embodiments, the two ends of the grain storage trough 411 along the axial direction of the sealing member 41 terminate inside the sealing member 41 and are not connected to the end face, forming a relatively independent grain storage space. When sealed, this prevents excessive grain dispersion, stabilizes the grain storage amount, creates conditions for accurate grain dispensing, and improves the reliability and practicality of the feeder.

[0046] In this embodiment, the surface of the seal 41 is covered with a soft rubber layer. This soft rubber layer is flexible and elastic, allowing it to fit tightly against the inner wall of the feed tube 3, effectively filling any minor gaps and enhancing the seal between the seal 41 and the feed tube 3. When the seal 41 rotates within the feed tube 3, the soft rubber layer contacts the inner wall of the feed tube 3. Compared to hard materials, the soft rubber layer effectively reduces friction and wear between the two, improving the feeder's lifespan and reliability.

[0047] The soft rubber layer can be made of silicone, which has good flexibility and stable chemical properties, allowing it to tightly adhere to the inner wall of the grain outlet pipe 3 to ensure a good seal and protect the grain. Alternatively, nitrile rubber can be used, which has good oil resistance, abrasion resistance, and aging resistance, effectively resisting grease corrosion and reducing wear during long-term rotation of the seal 41, thus extending its service life. In practical applications, the material for the soft rubber layer can be selected according to specific needs. Of course, other materials that meet the performance requirements can also be used; no specific limitations are made here, as long as the selected material meets the requirements of the seal 41 in terms of sealing performance, abrasion resistance, and compatibility with grain. Alternatively, in another optional embodiment, the seal 41 can also be made entirely of soft materials such as silicone or rubber, which also meets the above requirements.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, a sealing protrusion 311 is provided around the inner wall of the grain outlet pipe 3 where it abuts against the sealing element 41. The sealing protrusion 311 and the soft rubber layer are pressed together to form a seal. This structure enhances the sealing effect, preventing external air, moisture, and dust from entering the grain outlet pipe 3, creating a stable storage environment for the grain and extending its shelf life. At the same time, during the rotation of the sealing element 41, the sealing protrusion 311 acts as a support point for the soft rubber layer, ensuring that the soft rubber layer maintains a stable sealing effect when compressed.

[0049] Specifically, the sealing protrusion 311 is semi-circular in shape, and its smooth arc surface allows for a tighter and smoother fit with the soft rubber layer. This fit not only increases the contact area, making the sealing pressure distribution more uniform and reducing the risk of leakage, but also, when the sealing element 41 rotates, the semi-circular design guides the deformation of the soft rubber layer, reducing its wear and fatigue damage risk, continuously ensuring sealing performance, maintaining a closed and safe grain storage environment, and providing protection for grain preservation.

[0050] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the grain outlet pipe 3 includes a first grain outlet pipe 31 and a second grain outlet pipe 32 that are inserted into each other. The outer wall of the first grain outlet pipe 31 is fitted to the inner wall of the second grain outlet pipe 32. The end of the first grain outlet pipe 31 away from the second grain outlet pipe 32 is connected to the grain discharge port 221, and the end of the second grain outlet pipe 32 away from the first grain outlet pipe 31 is connected to the grain discharge port 11. The first grain outlet pipe 31 and the second grain outlet pipe 32 are inserted into each other, which is simple to operate and easy to install and disassemble.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the sealing assembly 4 also includes a drive component 42, which is disposed within the housing 1. The output end of the drive component 42 passes through the wall of the feed outlet pipe 3 and connects to the sealing component 41. The drive component 42 can drive the sealing component 41 to rotate. The power output provided by the drive component 42 is stable and reliable, ensuring that the sealing component 41 rotates smoothly and at a uniform speed, thereby ensuring the stability of the feeder process and improving the automation level of the feeder, achieving automatic dispensing without manual operation. The drive component 42 can be an electric motor, hydraulic motor, or pneumatic motor, etc.

[0052] Specifically, at the end of the second feed pipe 32 near the first feed pipe 31, the output end of the drive component 42 passes through the wall of the second feed pipe 32 and connects with the sealing component 41. A sealing protrusion 311 is located at the end of the first feed pipe 31 near the second feed pipe 32 and is press-fitted with the sealing component 41. Because gaps are prone to occur at the insertion position of the first feed pipe 31 and the second feed pipe 32, a sealing protrusion 311 is provided on the inner wall of the first feed pipe 31 to press and seal with the sealing component 41. This enhances the overall sealing performance of the feeder and improves its sealing reliability.

[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the feeder also includes a tray 5, which comprises a transition section 51 and a feeding section 52. One end of the transition section 51 is connected to the feeding section 52 at an angle, and the other end of the transition section 51 is connected to the food dispensing pipe 3 and located at one end of the food dispensing port 11. This design allows the food flowing from the food dispensing port 11 to slide naturally down the angle of the transition section 51 to the feeding section 52, preventing the food from piling up or scattering near the food dispensing port 11, ensuring that the food falls accurately into the feeding section 52, reducing food waste, and maintaining the cleanliness of the area around the feeder. Furthermore, along the axial direction of the housing 1, the orthographic projection of the feeding section 52 is located outside the orthographic projection of the housing 1, providing a spacious feeding space for the pet and facilitating its eating.

[0054] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the grain storage assembly 2 includes a grain storage bin 21 and a grain distribution bin 22. The grain storage bin 21 can store grain and is provided with a grain discharge port 211. The grain distribution bin 22 is connected to the grain storage bin 21 and is provided with a grain discharge port 221. Along the axial direction of the grain storage bin 21, the orthographic projection of the grain discharge port 211 is outside the orthographic projection of the grain discharge port 221. The inner cavity of the grain distribution bin 22 is rotatably provided with a partition 222, which can separate the grain and push the grain down from the grain discharge port 221. The staggered layout of the grain outlet 211 and the grain discharge outlet 221 prevents grain from falling vertically from the grain storage bin 21 to the vicinity of the grain discharge outlet 221 of the grain distribution bin 22. This prevents the grain from rushing out directly from the grain discharge outlet 221 due to gravity, thus preventing the separator 222 from effectively performing its function of separating and regulating the grain. This creates conditions for the separator 222 to perform reasonable operations on the grain within the grain distribution bin 22, ensuring the stable operation of the entire grain storage component 2 and the realization of normal grain supply function.

[0055] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the divider 222 includes a rotating part 2221 and multiple dividers 2222. The multiple dividers 2222 are radially distributed around the axis of the rotating part 2221. The dividers 2222 are detachably connected to the rotating part 2221, thereby flexibly adjusting the dividing capacity to meet actual feeding needs. Given that pets' appetites vary individually and change with their growth stage, increasing the number of dividers 2222 when a pet's appetite is small allows for a more precise division of the space within the food container 22, ensuring that each small amount of food dispensed is precisely matched to the appetite of a small pet. Conversely, for pets with large appetites, reducing the number of dividers 2222 increases the size of each food dispensing, ensuring a sufficient and appropriate amount of food is given.

[0056] Specifically, multiple partitions 2222 divide the grain bin 22 into multiple independent temporary storage areas, with the grain inlet 211 and the grain outlet 221 located in two different temporary storage areas. This prevents grain from flowing directly from the grain inlet 211 to the grain outlet 221, allowing the partitions 2222 to organize and control the grain in an orderly manner, ensuring that the grain falls stably from the grain outlet 221, improving the accuracy and reliability of the grain storage component 2, and meeting the feeding needs of pets.

[0057] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the food inlet 211 and the food outlet 221 are symmetrical about the food distribution bin 22. When the divider 2222 is removed to expand the food distribution area for pets with large appetites, the food inlet 211 and the food outlet 221 are at their furthest apart, avoiding them being in the same temporary storage area. This allows the food to be smoothly distributed after entering the food distribution bin 22 from the food inlet 211, facilitating the divider 222 to guide a large amount of food to the food outlet 221, ensuring that the food output meets the demand, enhancing the practicality and adaptability of the food storage component 2, and ensuring stable and efficient feeding.

[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, the inner cavity of the food storage bin 21 is rotatably equipped with a loosening element 212, which is configured to turn the food over. During storage, the food in the food storage bin 21 is prone to clumping due to factors such as humidity, pressure, and prolonged static storage. By turning the food over, the loosening element 212 can effectively break up the clumps, keeping the food loose and preventing it from clogging the food outlet 211. This ensures that the food can fall smoothly, maintaining the normal food supply function of the feeder and providing a continuous and stable food supply for the pet.

[0059] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the separator 222 is driven to rotate by a motor (not shown in the figure). The top of its rotating part 2221 is inserted and fixed to the loosening part 212. This connection method not only ensures the synchronization of the two during rotation, but also facilitates installation and disassembly, making subsequent maintenance and component replacement convenient. When the motor starts, the power is transmitted through the rotating part 2221, driving multiple separators 2222 to accurately separate and orderly push the grain in the grain bin 22. At the same time, due to its fixed connection with the loosening part 212, the loosening part 212 also rotates during the operation of the separator 222, turning over the grain in the grain bin 21 to prevent the grain from clumping and blocking the grain outlet 211, further ensuring the smooth supply of grain to the entire grain storage assembly 2. Moreover, this integrated drive design makes the internal structure of the feeder more compact, reduces space occupation, optimizes the overall layout, and improves the performance stability and reliability of the feeder.

[0060] The feeding device in this embodiment works roughly as follows:

[0061] In the first step, the loosening component 212 and the separating component 222 rotate in tandem. Grain from the storage bin 21 enters the dividing bin 22 through the grain discharge port 211, and the separating component 222 divides the grain as needed. As the separating component 222 rotates, grain from one of the divided areas is sent into the grain discharge pipe 3 through the grain discharge port 221, and then the rotation stops. The grain is temporarily stored in the grain storage trough 411 of the sealing component 41, achieving quantitative storage while blocking adverse external factors to ensure the freshness and safety of the grain.

[0062] In the second step, during the feeding stage, the drive unit 42 drives the seal 41 to rotate. A measured amount of food in the food storage trough 411, guided by gravity and the fan-shaped structure, flows along the food outlet pipe 3 to the food outlet 11, and then slides down the transition section 51 of the tray 5 to the feeding section 52 for the pet to eat. Afterward, the seal 41 continues to rotate until the food storage trough 411 faces the food outlet 221 again, and the first step is repeated. This continuous and stable feeding process accurately meets the pet's dietary needs, improving the practicality and convenience of the feeder.

[0063] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
