[0047] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0048] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0049] The following reference Figures 1 to 11 This invention describes some embodiments of a feeder according to the present invention.

[0050] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a feeder, including a feeder body, a first connecting component, a second connecting component, and a feeding bowl 4.

[0051] Specifically, a discharge port is provided on the side wall of the feeder body;

[0052] The first through hole 5 is opened on the side wall of the feeder body;

[0053] A first connecting component is disposed within the feeder body and is positioned opposite to the first through hole 5;

[0054] The feeding bowl 4 is located on one side of the feeder body;

[0055] The second connecting component is connected to one side of the food bowl 4, and the second connecting component is connected to the first connecting component.

[0056] When installing the food bowl 4 onto the feeder body, first insert the second connecting component into the first through hole 5, making the second connecting component contact the first connecting component. Then, slide the food bowl 4 horizontally, thereby connecting the second connecting component with the first connecting component and securing the food bowl 4. After the first and second connecting components are connected, the first connecting component exerts pressure on the second connecting component, thus fixing the second connecting component inside the first through hole 5 and preventing the food bowl 4 from shifting. When it is necessary to remove the food bowl 4, pull the food bowl 4 in the opposite direction, separating the first and second connecting components, and then remove the second connecting component from inside the first through hole 5. This structure allows for easy installation and removal of the food bowl 4, and the process is simple. The food bowl 4 is not easily dropped from the feeder body, the installation of the food bowl 4 is more stable, and the food bowl 4 can be placed in other suitable locations during installation, improving space utilization.

[0057] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the feeder body includes:

[0058] The first housing 1 has a first groove 9 on its upper surface, a first through hole 5 on the side wall of the first housing 1, and a discharge port on the side wall of the first housing 1, which is located above the first through hole 5.

[0059] The second housing 2 is disposed within the first groove 9;

[0060] The third housing 3 is detachably connected to the upper end of the first housing 1. The third housing 3 has a feeding hole, which is connected to the discharge port.

[0061] A drive device is fixedly installed inside the first housing 1, and the upper end of the drive device extends through the lower end of the second housing 2 and into the second housing 2.

[0062] A diverter is disposed inside the second housing 2, and the diverter is connected to the drive device in a transmission manner.

[0063] A stirring device extends through the lower end of the third housing 3 and is fixedly connected to the third housing 3. The stirring device is detachably connected to the flow divider.

[0064] It should be noted that the positional relationships between the first housing 1, the second housing 2, the third housing 3, the drive device, the flow divider, and the stirring device are existing technologies, and their specific working principles will not be elaborated upon here. In the existing technology, the second housing 2 and the third housing 3 are fixedly connected together, making it difficult to disassemble them and thus difficult to change the overall height of the feeder body, which reduces space utilization during transportation.

[0065] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 11 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the first connecting component includes:

[0066] The first connector 11 is fixedly connected to the end of the first through hole 5 away from the food bowl 4, and the first connector 11 is provided with a second through hole 6.

[0067] One end of the spring piece 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second through hole 6;

[0068] The protrusion 16 is fixedly connected to the side of the spring piece 15 near the food bowl 4;

[0069] Two first limiting members 18 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower inner walls of the first through hole 5, respectively. The right end of the first limiting member 18 is fixedly connected to the right inner wall of the first through hole 5, and a gap is left between the left end of the first limiting member 18 and the left inner wall of the first through hole 5.

[0070] The second connection component includes:

[0071] The second connector 12 is fixedly connected to the side of the food bowl 4 near the first through hole 5, and the second connector 12 is provided with a sliding groove 17 on the side near the first through hole 5.

[0072] Two second limiting members 19 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the second connecting member 12, respectively.

[0073] When the food bowl 4 needs to be installed, first insert the second connector 12 into the first through hole 5 from the left side of the first limiting member 18, so that the protrusion 16 enters the slide groove 17. The second connector 12 will squeeze the spring piece 15, causing the spring piece 15 to deform. Then slide the food bowl 4 to the right, thereby driving the second connector 12 and the second limiting member 19 to move to the right. The protrusion 16 moves along the slide groove 17. When the right end of the second limiting member 19 contacts the inner wall of the right end of the first through hole 5, the installation of the food bowl 4 is completed. After the food bowl 4 is installed, the first limiting member 18 and the second limiting member 19 are set opposite to each other, with the second limiting member 19 located away from the first limiting member 18. When the food bowl 4 is pulled away from the first housing 1, the first limiting member 18 blocks the second limiting member 19, preventing the food bowl 4 from detaching from the first housing 1. In addition, when the second limiting member 19 enters the first through hole 5, it will squeeze the spring piece 15, causing the spring piece 15 to deform. After the food bowl 4 is installed, the operator releases the food bowl 4, which will cause the spring piece 15 to return to its original shape. The spring piece 15 will then apply pressure to the second connecting member 12. The spring piece 15 and the first limiting member 18 will generate a clamping force on the second limiting member 19, thereby preventing the first connecting member 11 from shifting inside the first through hole 5 and improving the stability of the food bowl 4.

[0074] like Figures 6 to 10 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, it further includes;

[0075] The third connector 13 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the third housing 3. The third connector 13 is annular in shape. The inner wall of the third connector 13 is provided with a second groove 10. The lower end of the second groove 10 is flush with the lower end of the third connector 13. The side wall of the third connector 13 is provided with a third through hole 7, which is connected to the second groove 10.

[0076] The fourth connector 14 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the second housing 2.

[0077] Also includes;

[0078] The fourth through hole 8 is opened on the side wall of the third connector 13. The fourth through hole 8 corresponds to the third through hole 7 in the vertical direction. The first through hole 5 is located below the third through hole 7.

[0079] The protrusion 20 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lower end of the third through hole 7;

[0080] A limiting groove 21 is formed on the lower surface of the fourth connector 14, and the limiting groove 21 cooperates with the protrusion 20.

[0081] When installing the second housing 2 and the third housing 3, first insert the fourth connector 14 into the second groove 10 so that the upper end of the fourth connector 14 contacts the upper end of the second groove 10. Then rotate the second housing 2 so that the fourth connector 14 enters the third through hole 7. The vertical dimension of the fourth connector 14 matches the dimension of the third through hole 7, thus preventing the fourth connector 14 from shaking in the vertical direction. Through the cooperation of the fourth connector 14 and the third through hole 7, the second housing 2 and the third housing 3 are connected together. The installation process is simple, and the second housing 2 and the third housing 3 can be detachably connected. Therefore, when the feeder body needs to be transported, the third housing 3 can be removed, rotated 180 degrees vertically, and then fitted onto the outside of the first housing 1, thereby reducing the height of the entire device and improving space utilization.

[0082] Furthermore, during the installation of the second housing 2 and the third housing 3, when the third housing 3 is rotated, the protrusion 20 will move downward after being squeezed when the fourth connector 14 comes into contact with the protrusion 20. The function of the fourth through hole 8 is to provide space for the protrusion 20 to move downward. Subsequently, during the sliding process of the fourth connector 14, the protrusion 20 always stays close to the fourth connector 14. Since a limiting groove 21 is opened on the lower surface of the fourth connector 14, when the limiting groove 21 moves to the protrusion 20, the protrusion 20 restores its deformation and moves into the limiting groove 21. Through the cooperation of the protrusion 20 and the limiting groove 21, the fourth connector 14 can be prevented from shifting in the third through hole 7, thereby improving the stability of the third housing 3.

[0083] This utility model has the following advantages:

[0084] 1. Through the cooperation of the first connecting component and the second connecting component, the feeder body and the food bowl 4 can be detachably connected, and the food bowl 4 is easy to install and not easy to fall off from the feeder body, and the food bowl 4 has high stability.

[0085] 2. The second housing 2 and the third housing 3 are detachably connected by the third connector 13 and the fourth connector 14. When transportation is required, the third housing 3 can be removed and fitted outside the first housing 1, thereby reducing the overall height of the device and improving space utilization.
