[0033] 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.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 6 An embodiment of this utility model is provided: an automatic pet feeder, including a feeder body 1, a control panel 2 installed on the outside of the feeder body 1, an anti-accidental touch component provided on the outside of the control panel 2, a feeding tray 20 slidably connected inside the feeder body 1, and two fixing components provided on the outside of the feeding tray 20.

[0035] The anti-accidental touch component includes a magnetic block 2 6 and two connecting blocks 3. The magnetic block 2 6 is fixedly connected to the outside of the feeder body 1. The connecting blocks 3 are fixedly connected to the outside of the feeder body 1. A rotating rod 8 is rotatably connected inside the connecting block 3. A protective cover 4 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 8. A hollow shell 7 is fixedly connected to the outside of one of the connecting blocks 3. A partition 14 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inside of the hollow shell 7. A spring 13 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating rod 8. A ratchet 9 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 8. A control rod 12 is rotatably connected inside the partition 14. A pawl 10 is fixedly connected to the outside of the control rod 12. The pawl 10 engages with the ratchet 9. A spring 11 is fixedly connected to the outside of the pawl 10. A magnetic block 5 is fixedly connected to the outside of the protective cover 4. The magnetic block 5 and the magnetic block 2 6 are magnetically attracted to each other.

[0036] Specifically, the main body 1 of the feeder consists of a food storage bin, a food dispensing control mechanism, a timer, a power module, and a control circuit board. The food storage bin stores food, the food dispensing control mechanism accurately dispenses food, the timer sets the feeding time, the power module provides power, and the control circuit board coordinates the various components to ensure that the pet eats on time and in the correct quantity. The control panel 2 allows the user to operate and set parameters to adjust the feeder's operating parameters. Regarding the anti-accidental touch components, magnetic block 2 6 is fixed to the outside of the feeder body 1 and magnetically attracts magnetic block 1 5 on the protective cover 4. Under normal conditions, the protective cover 4 is closed to prevent accidental touch. Connecting block 3 provides a support point for rotating rod 8, allowing rotating rod 8 to rotate smoothly, thereby driving the protective cover 4 fixed to its outside to open and close. Hollow shell 7 houses key components such as spring 13 and ratchet 9. Partition 14 assists in the installation of control rod 12 and defines the position of components. Spring 13 is sleeved on the outside of rotating rod 8, storing energy when the protective cover 4 is opened and releasing energy when it is closed to achieve automatic reset. Ratchet 9 is connected to rotating rod 8 and works with pawl 10 on control rod 12 to control the protective cover 4 to rotate only in one direction. Spring 11 connects pawl 10 to the inner wall of hollow shell 7, so that pawl 10 always remains engaged with ratchet 9. The fixing component is used to fix and loosen the feeding tray 20, which is used to hold pet food. All components work together to ensure the stable operation of the automatic feeding function of the pet feeder.

[0037] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The fixing component includes a thin shell 15, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the feeder body 1. A baffle 16 is slidably connected inside the thin shell 15. A plug block 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the baffle 16, and a pull rod 18 is fixedly connected to the other side of the baffle 16. A spring 19 is sleeved on the outside of the pull rod 18.

[0038] Specifically, the thin shell 15 is used to fix the feeder body 1 to the outside, providing installation space and support structure for the fixing components. The baffle 16 slides inside the thin shell 15, which can drive the plug block 17 to move. The plug block 17 is used to insert or remove the feeding tray 20, realizing the fixing and unlocking of the feeding tray 20. The pull rod 18 is convenient for manual operation by the user. Pulling the pull rod 18 can drive the baffle 16 to move. Spring 19 is sleeved on the outside of the pull rod 18 to provide elasticity. When the pull rod 18 is released, it pushes the baffle 16 to reset, so that the plug block 17 can fix the feeding tray 20 again.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 6One end of spring 11, away from pawl 10, is fixedly connected to the inner wall of hollow shell 7. One end of spring 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of hollow shell 7, and the other end of spring 13 is fixedly connected to the outside of rotating rod 8. The outside of control rod 12 is rotatably connected to the inside of hollow shell 7. The outside of rotating rod 8 is rotatably connected to the inside of partition 14. The outside of rotating rod 8 is rotatably connected to the inside of hollow shell 7. The outside of plug block 17 penetrates thin shell 15 and is plugged into the inside of feeding tray 20. The outside of pull rod 18 is slidably connected to the inside of thin shell 15. One end of spring 19 is fixedly connected to the outside of baffle 16, and the other end of spring 19 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of thin shell 15.

[0040] Specifically, spring 11 provides continuous elastic force to pawl 10, keeping it engaged with ratchet 9 and preventing ratchet 9 from reversing arbitrarily, thus ensuring the stability of the protective cover 4 in the open state of the anti-accidental contact assembly. The spring-loaded spring 13 stores elastic potential energy when the protective cover 4 is opened and releases this energy after the operation is complete, driving the rotating rod 8 to rotate in the opposite direction, achieving automatic reset of the protective cover 4. The control lever 12 is for manual operation by the user. By rotating the control lever 12, pawl 10 can disengage from ratchet 9, facilitating the reset of the protective cover 4 under the action of the spring-loaded spring 13. The outer side of the rotating rod 8 is rotatably connected to the inside of the partition 14 and the hollow shell 7, respectively, serving as the rotating shaft of the protective cover 4. When the user opens the device or the spring 13 drives it, the protective cover 4 rotates. The plug-in block 17 is used to fix the feeding tray 20 and prevent it from sliding freely inside the feeder body 1. The pull rod 18 is convenient for the user to pull manually. The pull rod 18 drives the baffle 16 to move, thereby controlling the plug-in block 17 to be plugged into or disengaged from the feeding tray 20. After the user releases the pull rod 18, the spring 19 provides elastic force to push the baffle 16 to reset, so that the plug-in block 17 is reinserted into the feeding tray 20, thus achieving a stable installation of the feeding tray 20.

[0041] Working principle: When the control panel 2 needs to be operated, the user manually pulls the protective cover 4, causing the magnetic block 5 and magnetic block 6 to disengage. This simultaneously drives the rotating rod 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the ratchet 9 to rotate. The pawl 10 slides on the teeth of the ratchet 9, compressing the spring 11. When the protective cover 4 rotates to the appropriate position, the spring 13 is in a stored energy state. After operating the control panel 2, the protective cover 4 is released, and the control rod 12 is rotated, causing the pawl 10 to disengage from the ratchet 9. This compresses the spring 11, releasing the energy of the spring 13, which drives the rotating rod 8 to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the protective cover 4 to automatically reset. The magnetic block 5 and magnetic block 6 then magnetically attract each other. The control rod 12 is released, and under the action of the spring 11, the pawl 10 engages with the ratchet 9 again. This effectively prevents pets or other external forces from accidentally touching the control panel 2, which could lead to incorrect settings or accidental operation of the feeder.

[0042] When it is necessary to install or remove the feeding tray 20, pull the lever 18. The lever 18 causes the baffle 16 to slide within the thin shell 15, while simultaneously compressing the second spring 19, causing the plug block 17 to be pulled out from inside the feeding tray 20. After the feeding tray 20 is installed, release the lever 18. The second spring 19 pushes the baffle 16 back to its original position, and the plug block 17 is reinserted into the feeding tray 20, fixing the feeding tray 20 within the feeder body 1. This allows for convenient installation and removal of the feeding tray 20, facilitating daily cleaning and maintenance. At the same time, it ensures a stable and secure installation, preventing shaking or falling during use, and guaranteeing the stability and safety of the pet while eating.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present 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.
