Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to pet feeder machines, and more particularly to an intelligent pet feeder. Background Technology

[0002] Pets refer to animals kept by people for emotional or psychological reasons, rather than for economic purposes. Traditionally, pets are mammals or birds, kept for enjoyment and companionship. Keeping pets provides humans with an opportunity to connect with nature, satisfies psychological needs, and is a very healthy and normal hobby.

[0003] People typically feed their pets by simply pouring pet food into a bowl. This involves taking out the appropriate amount from the food bag each time, which is cumbersome and makes it difficult to control the amount the pet eats. Sometimes, too much food is accidentally poured out, leading to waste. This method is inconvenient, inefficient, and environmentally unfriendly. Therefore, automatic pet feeders have emerged. Traditional automatic feeders require the pet food to be put into the machine, which then automatically sorts and dispenses the food into the feeding trough according to a set timer. Sorting is usually done by a motor driving sorting blades to distribute the food to the dispensing channel and then into the feeding trough. However, traditional feeders have a gap between the sorting blades and the feeding trough, which can easily trap chunks of pet food, preventing the motor from turning and causing blockages in the dispensing channel, thus hindering proper feeding.

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, it is necessary to provide a pet feeder that can solve the problems mentioned in the background. Utility Model Content

[0005] An intelligent pet feeder comprises an upper shell and a lower shell, the bottom of the upper shell being fastened to the top of the lower shell. A partition is provided in the upper shell, with a feeding inlet on the partition. A feeding device is provided inside the lower shell, comprising a dispensing block, a dispensing motor, a dispensing box, and a dispensing channel. The dispensing box contains multiple dispensing blocks, their inner ends connected by a rotating shaft and arranged in a circular pattern. There are intervals between the dispensing blocks for feeding. The rotating shaft is connected to the dispensing motor. A dispensing box outlet is located at the lower end of one side wall of the dispensing box. A feeding trough is provided at the lower end of the lower shell corresponding to the dispensing box outlet, with a dispensing outlet at the top of the feeding trough. The dispensing box outlet and the dispensing outlet are connected through a dispensing channel, with a vibrating motor at the bottom of the dispensing channel. A dispensing baffle is provided between the partition and the dispensing blocks, the height of which is greater than the thickness of the feeding blocks.

[0006] Furthermore, a mounting base is provided below the lower housing. The mounting base includes an upper seat and a lower seat, which are interlocked. An iron plate is provided between the upper seat and the lower seat, and a magnet is provided on the bottom surface of the lower housing corresponding to the iron plate.

[0007] Furthermore, a motor base is provided below the dispensing box, and the dispensing motor is installed inside the motor base, with its shaft connected to the output end of the dispensing motor.

[0008] Furthermore, a material distribution plate is provided at the center of the top surface of the partition, and the material distribution plate is coaxially arranged with the material distribution block.

[0009] Furthermore, a circular magnet is provided at the bottom of the material distribution block, and a Hall switch is also provided at the bottom of the material distribution box corresponding to the path of the circular magnet.

[0010] Furthermore, the material distribution block is wrapped with a sealing sleeve.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper housing has locking springs extending downwards at both the left and right ends of its bottom, with buckles on the outside of the locking springs. The lower housing has corresponding slots for the buckles, and the buckles are inserted into the slots when the upper and lower housings are fastened together.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. There is a gap between the feed block and the partition, and a feed baffle is installed in the gap to prevent pet food from getting stuck between the feed block and the partition, which would prevent the motor from turning.

[0014] 2. A vibrating motor is installed in the discharge channel to help the pet food discharge and prevent the pet food from clogging the discharge channel.

[0015] 3. The base and the lower housing are magnetically fixed to the iron sheet by magnets, making disassembly and assembly convenient.

[0016] 4. The feeding motor is controlled by a Hall effect switch to achieve automatic detection and start / stop. Attached Figure Description
