[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-6This utility model provides a technical solution: a smart pet feeder, including a base 1, a food bowl trough 2 on the upper surface of the base 1, a pressure sensor 3 installed on the inner surface of the food bowl trough 2, a food bowl 4 slidably connected to the inner surface of the food bowl trough 2, a placement groove 5 on the upper surface of the base 1, a placement block 6 slidably connected to the inner surface of the placement groove 5, a food storage box 7 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the placement block 6, a control panel 8 installed on one side surface of the food storage box 7, a sealing groove 9 on the upper surface of the food storage box 7, a sealing block 10 slidably connected to the inner surface of the sealing groove 9, a lid 11 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sealing block 10, a lifting groove 12 on the upper surface of the lid 11, a dispensing mechanism 13 on the inner surface of the food storage box 7, and a preservation mechanism 14 on the lower surface of the lid 11.

[0023] The preservation mechanism 14 includes a fixing block 1401, which is installed on the lower surface of the lid 11. A sliding groove 1402 is formed on the inner surface of the fixing block 1401. A sliding block 1403 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the sliding groove 1402. A limiting block 1404 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sliding block 1403. A limiting groove 1405 is formed on the inner surface of the sliding groove 1402. A spring 1406 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding block 1403, and a locking block 1407 is fixedly connected to the other end. A preservation box 1408 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the locking block 1407. A locking groove 1409 is formed on one side surface of the preservation box 1408. A through hole 1410 is formed on the lower surface of the preservation box 1408. A pull plate 1411 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the preservation box 1408. Through the design of the above structure… When in use, place the desiccant into the food storage container 1408, push the food storage container 1408, and the locking block 1407, under the pressure of the food storage container 1408, overcomes the elastic force of the spring 1406, slides along the sliding groove 1402, and compresses the spring 1406. The limiting block 1404 slides synchronously within the limiting groove 1405. When the locking block 1407 moves to the locking slot 1409, the spring 1406 releases its elastic potential energy, pushing the locking block 1407 to lock. Insert the food storage container 1408 into the slot 1409 to install it. When disassembling, pull the pull plate 1411. The food storage container 1408 moves the locking block 1407. The locking block 1407 is squeezed by the food storage container 1408 to overcome the elastic force of the spring 1406. The locking block 1407 is disengaged from the slot 1409, completing the disassembly of the food storage container 1408. The through hole 1410 allows the moisture-proof and desiccant inside the food storage container 1408 to come into contact with the air inside the grain storage box 7.

[0024] Furthermore, the inner dimensions of the sealing groove 9 match the outer dimensions of the sealing block 10. The lifting groove 12 is L-shaped, and two sets of lifting grooves 12 are provided on the upper surface of the lid 11. With the above structure, when in use, a finger hooks the L-shaped lifting groove 12 and applies upward force to lift the lid 11, causing the sealing block 10 to disengage from the sealing groove 9, thus opening the grain storage box 7. When closing, the lid 11 is lowered, and the sealing block 10 is embedded in the sealing groove 9 to achieve a seal. The two sets of L-shaped lifting grooves 12 facilitate opening the lid 11 from different directions, making operation easier. The sealing block 10 and the sealing groove 9 fit tightly together, effectively preventing external moisture and dust from entering the grain storage box 7, thus improving the grain preservation effect.

[0025] Furthermore, two sets of limiting blocks 1404 are symmetrically arranged around the central axis of the sliding block 1403. The limiting blocks 1404 are slidably connected to the limiting groove 1405. The inner dimension of the limiting groove 1405 matches the outer dimension of the limiting block 1404. With the above structure, during use, when the sliding block 1403 slides in the sliding groove 1402, the limiting blocks 1404 slide synchronously along the limiting groove 1405. Since the two are size-matched and symmetrically arranged, the sliding block 1403 is restricted to move only in a specified direction and range, so that the sliding block 1403 slides stably and prevents the sliding block 1403 from deviating.

[0026] Furthermore, the slot 1409 and the block 1407 are slidably connected, and the inner dimensions of the slot 1409 match the outer dimensions of the block 1407. With the above structure, when installing the food storage container 1408, the block 1407 is squeezed into the slot 1409 by external force. When disassembling, the food storage container 1408 is pulled by external force, and the block 1407 is removed from the slot 1409 under the action of external force. The slot 1409 and the block 1407 match in size, so that the food storage container 1408 is tightly connected and not easy to loosen after installation.

[0027] Furthermore, multiple sets of through holes 1410 are evenly spaced on the lower surface of the food storage container 1408, and two sets of pull plates 1411 are symmetrically arranged around the central axis of the food storage container 1408. With the above structure, during use, the multiple sets of evenly spaced through holes 1410 increase the contact area between air and desiccant, significantly improving the moisture-proof and freshness-preserving effect. The symmetrical pull plates 1411 make it convenient for users to apply force from different angles, making operation easier.

[0028] Furthermore, the discharge mechanism 13 includes a partition plate 1301, which is installed on the inner surface of the grain storage box 7. A cylinder 1302 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the partition plate 1301, and an inclined discharge block 1303 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the cylinder 1302. A connecting rod 1304 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the grain storage box 7, and a motor box 1305 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 1304. A motor 1 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the motor box 1305. 306. A conveying screw 1307 is fixedly connected to one end of the motor 1306. With the above structure, when the motor 1306 is powered on, it rotates and drives the conveying screw 1307 to rotate inside the cylinder 1302. The grain in the grain storage box 7 is pushed along the screw to the inclined discharge block 1303. Under the action of gravity, the grain slides down the inclined discharge block 1303 to the feeding basin 4. The partition plate 1301 divides the space inside the grain storage box 7, so that the grain enters the cylinder 1302 in an orderly manner.

[0029] Furthermore, the conveying screw 1307 is disposed on the inner surface of the cylinder 1302, and two sets of connecting rods 1304 are disposed on the outer surface of the motor box 1305. With the above structure, during use, the conveying screw 1307 rotates inside the cylinder 1302, and the pushing action of the spiral structure is used to convey the grain from the grain storage box 7 to the inclined discharge block 1303. The two sets of connecting rods 1304 symmetrically support the motor box 1305, ensuring the stability of the motor 1306 during operation, making the grain conveying process smoother, reducing grain spillage, enhancing the installation stability of the motor box 1305, and reducing the vibration of the motor 1306 during operation.

[0030] Working principle: The placement block 6 can slide within the placement groove 5, facilitating the installation and removal of the grain storage box 7. The lid 11 can be lifted via the lifting groove 12, causing the sealing block 10 to disengage from the sealing groove 9, thus opening the grain storage box 7. When the grain in the feeding basin 4 is depleted, the pressure sensor 3 transmits data to the control panel 8. The motor 1306 is then powered on and rotates, driving the conveying screw 1307 to rotate within the cylinder 1302, pushing the grain in the grain storage box 7 along the screw to the inclined discharge block 1303. Under gravity, the grain slides down the inclined discharge block 1303 into the feeding basin 4. The partition plate 1301 divides the space within the grain storage box 7, allowing the grain to enter the cylinder 1302 in an orderly manner. A desiccant is placed in the preservation box 1408, and the preservation box 1408 is pushed, causing the locking block 140... 7. The food storage container 1408 is squeezed to overcome the elastic force of the spring 1406, slides along the sliding groove 1402 and compresses the spring 1406. The limiting block 1404 slides synchronously in the limiting groove 1405. When the locking block 1407 moves to the locking slot 1409, the spring 1406 releases its elastic potential energy to push the locking block 1407 into the locking slot 1409, thus realizing the installation of the food storage container 1408. When disassembling, the pull plate 1411 is pulled, and the food storage container 1408 drives the locking block 1407 to move. The locking block 1407 is squeezed by the food storage container 1408 to overcome the elastic force of the spring 1406, and the locking block 1407 is disengaged from the locking slot 1409, thus completing the disassembly of the food storage container 1408. The through hole 1410 allows the moisture-proof and desiccant in the food storage container 1408 to come into contact with the air in the food storage container 7.

[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
