[0024] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0025] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0026] An automatic cat feeder with self-cleaning function, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the system includes a water tank 1, a control box 2 fixedly connected to the top of the water tank 1, a food storage tank 3 fixedly connected to the top of the control box 2, a first guide plate 4 at the bottom of the food storage tank 3, a second guide plate 5 fixedly connected to one side of the water tank 1, a control panel 6 on one side of the water tank 1, a motor 7 inside the control box 2, a fixing block 8 fixedly connected to the bottom of the motor 7, and the bottom of the fixing block 8 fixedly connected to the control box 2. Specifically, in use, the food storage tank 3 is used to store dry food, and the food is accurately placed into the food bowl according to the set time and amount through the first food outlet 11. The control system in the control box 2 starts the motor 7 at the set time. The motor drives the rotating shaft 901 to rotate through the fixing block 8, and at the same time, the one-way shaft 905 rotates synchronously, causing the stop block 906 to rotate to the set position and separate from the first food outlet 11. The cat food then flows out from the first food outlet 11 and smoothly enters the food bowl under the guidance of the first guide plate 4 and the second guide plate 5.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The bottom of the grain storage tank 3 is provided with a central tube 10. The cleaning component 9 is provided inside the central tube 10. The cleaning component 9 includes a rotating shaft 901, a stirring blade 902, a water spray pipe 903, a drain outlet 904, a one-way shaft 905, and a stop block 906. The output end of the motor 7 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 901. The rotating shaft 901 extends through the central tube 10 into the interior of the grain storage tank 3. The top of the rotating shaft 901 is fixedly connected to the stirring blade 902. The middle section of the rotating shaft 901 is fixedly connected to the one-way shaft 905. The one-way shaft 905 is located in the central tube 10. The stop block 906 is sleeved on the surface of the one-way shaft 905. A water spray pipe 903 is provided on one side of the inner wall of the central tube 10. The bottom of the central tube 10 is provided with a drain outlet 904.

[0028] Specifically, during the feeding process, the rotating shaft 901 simultaneously drives the stirring blade 902 to rotate, effectively preventing the cat food from getting clogged at the second food outlet 12, ensuring that the food smoothly enters the central tube 10, and finally falls into the food dish through the first food outlet 11 via the action of the baffle 906, keeping the feeding process smooth.

[0029] When the cat food in the food storage box 3 is exhausted or when the regular cleaning is started, the device enters the self-cleaning mode. The control system activates the water inlet valve 13 in the water storage box 1 through the control panel 6, allowing water to flow into the food storage box 3. The water pump drives the spray pipe 903 to spray clean water to rinse the internal residue.

[0030] At the same time, the motor 7 rotates in the opposite direction, and the one-way shaft 905 keeps the stop block 906 stationary due to its characteristics, forming a temporary sealed space to prevent water from overflowing. At this time, the stirring blade 902 rotates at high speed under the drive of the rotating shaft 901, forming a strong stirring flow, so that the water and the residue in the tank can fully contact and peel off the dirt.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The middle pipe 10 has a first grain outlet 11 at the top and a second grain outlet 12 at the bottom. A water inlet valve 13 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the water storage tank 1, and a water outlet valve 14 is provided on one side of the water storage tank 1. Specifically, after cleaning, the drain outlet 904 and the water outlet valve 14 are opened, and the sewage is discharged into the water storage tank 1 to ensure that the inside of the grain storage tank 3 is dry and clean, and to prevent food residue from breeding bacteria.

[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the food storage box 3 is used to store dry food, and the food is accurately put into the food bowl according to the set time and amount through the first food outlet 11. The control system in the control box 2 starts the motor 7 at the set time. The motor drives the rotating shaft 901 to rotate through the fixed block 8. At the same time, the one-way shaft 905 rotates synchronously, so that the stop block 906 rotates to the set position and separates from the first food outlet 11. The cat food then flows out from the first food outlet 11. Under the guidance of the first guide plate 4 and the second guide plate 5, the cat food smoothly enters the food bowl.

[0033] During the feeding process, the rotating shaft 901 simultaneously drives the stirring blade 902 to rotate, effectively preventing the cat food from being blocked at the second food outlet 12, ensuring that the food smoothly enters the middle tube 10, and finally falls into the food bowl through the first food outlet 11 via the action of the baffle 906, keeping the feeding smooth.

[0034] When the cat food in the food storage box 3 is exhausted or when the regular cleaning is started, the device enters the self-cleaning mode. The control system activates the water inlet valve 13 in the water storage box 1 through the control panel 6, allowing water to flow into the food storage box 3. The water pump drives the spray pipe 903 to spray clean water to rinse the internal residue.

[0035] At the same time, the motor 7 rotates in the opposite direction, and the one-way shaft 905 keeps the stop block 906 stationary due to its characteristics, forming a temporary sealed space to prevent water from overflowing. At this time, the stirring blade 902 rotates at high speed under the drive of the rotating shaft 901, forming a strong stirring flow, so that the water and the residue in the tank can fully contact and remove dirt. After cleaning, the drain outlet 904 and the water outlet valve 14 are opened, and the sewage is discharged to the water storage tank 1 to ensure that the inside of the grain storage tank 3 is dry and clean, and to prevent food residue from breeding bacteria.

[0036] This automatic cat feeder not only provides timed and measured feedings, but also integrates efficient anti-clogging and self-cleaning functions, improving the smoothness of feeding and the hygiene and safety of the device. This ensures that cats can eat healthily in the long term, while reducing the maintenance burden on pet owners.
