[0041] A temperature control box 30 is fixedly installed on the left side of the storage box 20. Both ends of the inner cavity of the temperature control box 30 are cavities 31. A semiconductor cooling chip 32 is fixedly installed on the temperature control box 30 located between the two cavities 31. Heat sinks 33 are fixedly installed on both sides of the semiconductor cooling chip 32, and the heat sinks 33 are located within the cavities 31.

[0042] In practical use, the specific operating steps for those skilled in the art are as follows:

[0043] S1: First, place the feed (including but not limited to acorns, chestnuts, pine nuts, corn, soybean meal, wheat bran, etc.) in the storage box 20. Specifically, the top of the storage box 20 is equipped with a box cover. When feeding, simply open the box cover.

[0044] S2: When the infrared sensor 12 detects that the black bear is located at the food pit 11, and the weight sensor detects that there is no food in the food pit 11, the electric push rod 22 will lower the sealing plate 23 to separate the sealing plate 23 from the discharge pipe 21. At this time, the feed will fall into the food pit 11 through the discharge pipe 21, realizing food input, until the weight sensor reaches the set value range; when the infrared sensor 12 detects that the black bear is located at the food pit 11, and the weight sensor detects that there is food in the food pit 11, no food will be input.

[0045] S3: When the temperature sensor detects that the temperature in the storage tank 20 exceeds the set range, the temperature will be adjusted in the following way:

[0046] S31: When the temperature is too low, the heat generated by the semiconductor cooling chip 32 will flow into the storage box 20 through the air pump 34 until the temperature in the storage box 20 is within the set range.

[0047] S32: When the temperature is too high, the air pump 34 will cause the cold energy generated by the semiconductor cooling chip 32 to flow into the storage box 20 until the temperature in the storage box 20 is within the set range.
