Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet feeding, specifically to a pet food dispensing device that prevents jamming. Background Technology

[0002] Automatic pet feeders are widely used in pet care, dispensing pet food in a timed and measured manner, thus improving the convenience of pet feeding. However, existing pet food dispensing devices have several problems in use, mainly including the following:

[0003] Existing pet feeders typically use a channel-type structure to deliver pet food, guiding the food through a narrow channel. However, pet food from different brands comes in various shapes, including round, square, strip-shaped, or irregularly shaped pellets, which can easily become stuck in the channel. Sharp-cornered or irregularly shaped food, in particular, is more likely to get stuck in the narrow channel, preventing the feeder from functioning properly and affecting the pet's eating.

[0004] Some pet feeding devices use square or right-angled flow guide structures, attempting to use gravity to slide the food out. However, when the food encounters a square turntable or a steeply angled flow guide, food may accumulate or become obstructed. When the motor runs continuously under excessive load, the turntable may jam or the structure may be damaged, affecting the device's lifespan and stability.

[0005] Traditional agitation devices typically use fixed scrapers or baffles that agitate the grains after contacting the turntable. However, in high-density conditions, the grains are easily over-compressed, causing the scrapers to fail to effectively separate the grains, and even leading to motor overload or scraper deformation, thus affecting dispensing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a pet food dispensing device that prevents jamming. By incorporating a conical or multi-faceted pyramidal flow-diverting structure at the center of the turntable, the food automatically slides and distributes force during rotation, thereby reducing the risk of sharp-cornered food getting stuck. Simultaneously, combined with an optimized paddle structure, the pet food can be smoothly dispensed, improving the stability and applicability of the device.

[0007] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a pet food dispensing device that prevents jamming, comprising:

[0008] The device host, wherein a drive mechanism is provided inside the device host;

[0009] A storage box, located at the top of the main unit of the equipment, is used to store grain;

[0010] A turntable is installed inside the main unit of the device and connected to the drive output end of the drive mechanism, and is driven to rotate in a circular motion by the drive mechanism.

[0011] A push piece is fixed in the device host and located at the edge of the rotating disc, so that the push piece pushes out pet food when the rotating disc rotates;

[0012] A flow distribution structure is arranged at the center of the rotating disc, and the flow distribution structure has a conical or polygonal pyramid shape to guide pet food of different shapes to slide along the surface of the flow distribution structure.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution, the flow distribution structure is a convex flow guide to guide pet food with sharp corners to slide along the surface of the flow distribution structure.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution, the driving mechanism adopts a driving motor and a control mainboard, the driving motor is located at the bottom of the rotating disc and is used to drive the circumferential rotation of the rotating disc.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution, the rotating disc has a material collecting cavity, and the output end of the storage box corresponds to the material collecting cavity.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution, the output end of the device host is provided with a feeding outlet, and a feeding trough is arranged on the base corresponding to the feeding outlet.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution, the inner wall surface of the material collecting cavity is a conical surface, and the push piece is arranged in close contact with the conical surface.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the present application are: the present application adopts a flow distribution structure in the shape of a cone, a polygonal pyramid or a quadrilateral, compared with the traditional square or channel type food conveying structure, can effectively guide pet food of different shapes to slide along the surface of the flow distribution structure, avoid the problem of jamming caused by the sharp corners or irregular shapes of the food particles, and has strong compatibility, thereby improving the adaptability and stability of the device.

[0019] At the same time, the rotating disc continuously rotates under the driving of the motor and cooperates with the push piece fixed on the shell, so that the pet food is gradually pushed out in the rotating process, even if the food is accumulated to a certain extent on the rotating disc, it can also be smoothly separated with the help of the push piece, avoiding the situation that the food is accumulated and the pushing fails.

[0029] As Figures 1-3 shown, the present application provides a pet food dispensing device to prevent jamming, which comprises a device host 1, and a driving mechanism is arranged in the device host 1, the driving mechanism is used for driving the internal food dispensing structure to operate, so as to realize automatic feeding of food.

[0030] A storage box 5 is arranged at the top end position of the inside of the device host 1, the storage box 5 is used for storing pet food, and the food is conveyed downward to the turntable 7 when the device is running, so as to ensure the continuity and stability of feeding. The output end of the storage box 5 corresponds to the material collecting cavity 6 of the turntable 7, so that the food can smoothly enter the turntable 7 for distribution.

[0031] The rotating disc 7 is arranged in the device host 1 and connected with the driving output end of the driving mechanism, and is driven to rotate circumferentially by the driving mechanism. When the motor is started, the rotating disc 7 rotates and pushes the piled-up food to move in a circulating manner, so as to ensure the uniform distribution of the food.

[0032] In order to prevent the food from piling up and being stuck on the rotating disc 7, the center of the rotating disc 7 is provided with a shunt structure 8 which is in a conical shape or any other shape, so that the food can automatically slide along the surface of the shunt structure 8 during rotation, avoiding the problem of being stuck due to the sharp corners or irregular shapes of the food particles, and improving the compatibility of the device for different shapes of food.

The driving motor 9 is located at the bottom of the rotating disc 7 and drives the rotating disc 7 to rotate circumferentially through the rotation of the motor, so as to ensure the continuous flow of the food. The driving motor 9 adopts a low-speed high-torque mode, which can slowly rotate when the food is blocked, so as to prevent the rotating disc 7 from being stuck or the motor from being damaged due to overloading caused by excessive piling up of the food.

[0036] Meanwhile, the rotating disc 7 has a material collecting cavity 6, the inner wall surface of which is a conical surface, and the paddle 10 is arranged in contact with the conical surface, so as to optimize the flow path of the food, so that the food can quickly slide outward after entering the rotating disc 7, avoiding the piling up phenomenon. In addition, the output end of the device host 1 is provided with a feeding outlet 3 for sending the pushed-out food to the outside for the pet to eat.

[0037] The bottom of the device host 1 is provided with a base 4, and the feeding trough 2 is arranged at the position corresponding to the feeding outlet 3 of the base 4, so that the pushed-out food can smoothly fall into the feeding trough 2, facilitating the pet to eat, reducing the situation that the food falls outside the device, and improving the feeding efficiency.
