Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Pet feeders typically have a lever mechanism at the bottom of the food bin, usually consisting of two levers. This mechanism, driven by a motor, rotates to move the pet food at the bottom of the bin, allowing it to fall smoothly. When a sensor on the side wall of the bin detects a low food level, the feeder sounds an alarm to remind the user to refill. However, in practice, while the levers can move the food at the bottom of the bin and ensure it falls smoothly, some food may still remain on the inner side wall slightly above the bottom, preventing the sensor from detecting a true food shortage. To address these technical issues, this application proposes a new lever mechanism for pet feeders that more thoroughly moves food from the bottom of the bin, ensuring the sensor can accurately detect a low food level. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a pet feeder lever mechanism, which aims to solve the technical problem of incomplete feeding in the prior art pet feeder lever mechanism.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A pet feeder lever mechanism includes a main body with a socket at the bottom; two upper levers and two lower levers are arranged opposite each other on the main body, with the upper levers positioned higher than the lower levers.

[0006] Furthermore, in the pet feeder lever mechanism, the two upper levers are of the same specification; the two lower levers are of the same specification.

[0007] Furthermore, in the pet feeder lever mechanism, the two upper levers are at the same height; the two lower levers are at the same height.

[0008] Furthermore, in the pet feeder lever mechanism, in the projection on the horizontal plane, the line connecting the centers of the two upper levers is perpendicular to the line connecting the centers of the two lower levers.

[0009] Furthermore, in the pet feeder lever mechanism, each upper lever has an upwardly protruding portion and an end extending downwards.

[0010] Furthermore, in the pet feeder lever mechanism, each upper lever is made of silicone.

[0011] Furthermore, in the pet feeder lever mechanism, each lower lever has a contact surface at its bottom, which is part of a conical surface.

[0012] Beneficial effects: This utility model provides a pet feeder lever mechanism. Compared with the prior art, by setting two upper levers and two lower levers on the main body, and with the upper levers positioned higher than the lower levers, the four levers can cover a larger area in the vertical direction each time the main body rotates. Pet food will not accumulate at the bottom of the pet feeder's food bin, thus ensuring that the sensor on the pet feeder's food bin can detect the actual food shortage situation in the food bin.

[0024] This utility model provides a pet feeder lever mechanism. To make the purpose, technical solution, and effects of this utility model clearer and more explicit, the following provides a more detailed description of this utility model. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a pet feeder lever mechanism. The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not proportional to the actual product. The drawings only depict structures relevant to the invention of this application; some conventional structures are not specifically shown. Since the entire structure of the pet feeder has already been disclosed in existing technology (e.g., patent CN 219679472 U), this application does not specifically depict the entire structure of the pet feeder.

[0026] A pet feeder lever mechanism includes a main body 1 with a socket 101 at its bottom. Two upper levers 2 and two lower levers 3 are positioned opposite each other on the main body, with the upper levers higher than the lower levers. The socket is for connection to a rotating rod (not shown in the figure). A drive motor (not shown in the figure) rotates the rotating rod, thereby rotating the pet feeder lever mechanism. The rotating rod and drive motor are not within the scope of this application. Because of the two upper levers and two lower levers, the lever mechanism has a larger coverage area during rotation, including a larger coverage area along the height of the food bin sidewall, thus improving the feeding effect.

[0027] Preferably, the two upper levers are of the same specification; the two lower levers are of the same specification. This arrangement ensures that the material-moving effect of the two upper levers is consistent, and the material-moving effect of the two lower levers is consistent.

[0028] Preferably, the two upper levers are at the same height; the two lower levers are at the same height. This arrangement ensures that the two upper levers cover the same area along the height of the grain silo sidewall, and the two lower levers cover the same area along the height of the grain silo sidewall.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, in the projection on the horizontal plane, the line connecting the centers of the two upper levers is perpendicular to the line connecting the centers of the two lower levers. This arrangement ensures that the two upper levers and two lower levers are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction, allowing each lever to distribute the food as evenly as possible in the circumferential direction each time the lever mechanism rotates, preventing pet food from remaining in any area due to lack of dispensing.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, each upper lever has an upwardly protruding portion 21 and an end 22 extending downwards. This configuration gives the upper lever an overall upwardly arched structure, providing it with a certain degree of elasticity and ensuring that the end of the upper lever abuts against the inner wall of the grain bin, thereby guaranteeing the material dispensing effect.

[0031] Preferably, each upper lever is made of silicone. This design ensures that the upper lever has good elasticity and will not snag on the inner wall of the grain silo during rotation.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, each lower lever has a contact surface 31 at its bottom, which is part of a conical surface. Since the bottom 91 of the grain bin 9 is a conical structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, this design ensures that the lower lever fits snugly against the grain bin, thereby improving the material feeding effect of the lower lever.

[0033] It is understood that those skilled in the art can make equivalent substitutions or changes based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, and all such substitutions or changes should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
