Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of animal feeding technology, and in particular relates to an automatic feeding and drinking integrated device. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of animal feeding, it is often necessary to provide animals with appropriate food, water and other necessary nutrients to meet their physiological needs and growth requirements. However, frequent feeding not only increases the workload of feeders, but also leads to situations where feeding is forgotten, resulting in animals not being able to obtain water and food in a timely manner.

[0003] In the existing technology, in order to avoid forgetting to feed the animals, a large bowl or basin is usually used to fill a large amount of water and food at one time for the animals to eat. However, this method still has some obvious defects and shortcomings: First, with a large amount of water and food, the animals are prone to spillage and other problems during the eating process, which has a significant negative impact on hygiene. Moreover, a large amount of water and food exposed to the air for a long time not only affects the taste, but is also easily contaminated by dust, and may even cause the animals to get sick after eating.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve existing feeding devices and provide an automatic feeding and drinking integrated device. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of the existing technology by providing a reasonably designed, simple structured integrated device capable of automatic feeding and drinking, thereby solving the problems existing in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An automatic feeding and drinking integrated device includes a feeding box, the top of which is connected to a top cover via a hinge. A counterweight foot pedal assembly is rotatably installed on the outer side of the bottom of the feeding box. The feeding box has a storage cavity inside, which is divided into a water storage chamber and a feed storage chamber by a partition plate. Both the water storage chamber and the feed storage chamber have a discharge chute at their bottom. The discharge chute is equipped with a dispensing assembly for quantitative dispensing. A movable plate is slidably connected to the middle of the bottom of the feeding box. The counterweight foot pedal assembly and the dispensing assembly are linked through the movable plate.

[0008] Preferably, the counterweight foot pedal assembly includes a support rod, a standing plate, a tension spring, and a crossbar. The two support rods are respectively bearing mounted on the bottom left and right outer walls of the feeding box. One end of the support rod is fixedly connected to the standing plate, and the other end of the support rod is fixedly installed with a tension spring between it and the feeding box. A crossbar is fixedly provided between the ends of the two support rods away from the standing plate.

[0009] Preferably, the other end of the movable plate has an inclined groove, and the crossbar is slidably connected to the movable plate through the inclined groove.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom front end of the feeding box is provided with a horizontally extending protrusion, and two feeding troughs are provided in the protrusion, which are distributed left and right. The two feeding troughs are respectively located below the outlets of the two discharge troughs.

[0011] Preferably, the feeding assembly includes a horizontal shaft, a gear, a feeding column, a sealing sleeve, and a storage cavity. The horizontal shaft is connected to the feeding box bearing. The gear is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the middle part of the horizontal shaft. Feeding columns are fixedly sleeved on the outer sides of both ends of the horizontal shaft. A storage cavity is formed on the outer wall of the feeding column.

[0012] Preferably, the upper surface of the movable plate near the feeding assembly has a toothed structure, and the gear meshes with the toothed structure on the upper surface of the movable plate.

[0013] Preferably, the two discharge columns are respectively sealed and rotatably installed in the two discharge troughs, and a sealing sleeve is bonded to the outer surface of the discharge column. The sealing sleeve is made of elastic rubber.

[0014] Preferably, the front end of the feeding box is fitted with a transparent plexiglass observation window, and the two observation windows are located directly in front of the water storage chamber and the feed storage chamber, respectively.

[0015] Preferably, the rear end of the feeding box is rotatably equipped with two sets of rollers, which are located on the upper and lower sides of the movable plate, respectively, with each set containing two rollers.

[0016] Preferably, the top cover is sealed against the storage cavity inside the feeding box.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] In this invention, when pets such as cats and dogs jump onto the stand, the support rod can rotate due to gravity and leverage. The crossbar can also push the movable plate with an inclined groove inside to move forward. The gear meshing with the movable plate controls the horizontal shaft and the two feeding columns to rotate 180° synchronously. This allows the food and water in the storage chambers of the two feeding columns to flow into the two feeding troughs through the two discharge troughs, facilitating automatic feeding and watering. Moreover, the limited volume of the storage chambers allows for quantitative feeding, avoiding excessive feeding at one time.

[0019] After the pet finishes eating and leaves the feeding station, the counterweight foot pedal assembly and the feeding assembly can be reset by a tension spring, allowing the feeding column's storage chamber to face upwards again to receive new water and food. This device can pre-store most of the water and food in the water storage chamber and the food storage chamber respectively, which can prevent food and water from being contaminated by dust, ensuring the hygiene and safety of the pet's eating. It can also prevent excessive feeding from causing food and water to overflow or spill, thus avoiding affecting environmental hygiene. Moreover, this device is small in size, does not require electricity, has low cost, and integrates feeding and drinking, making it more comprehensive in function and more practical.

[0030] The embodiments described below are merely some embodiments of the present invention and do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Exemplary embodiments will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0031] like Figure 1-7 As shown in the figure, the automatic feeding and drinking integrated device of this utility model includes a feeding box 1. A counterweight foot pedal assembly 2 is rotatably installed on the outer side of the bottom end of the feeding box 1. The inside of the feeding box 1 is provided with a storage cavity. The storage cavity is divided into a water storage chamber 9 and a material storage chamber 10 by a partition plate 8 fixed in the middle. Both the water storage chamber 9 and the material storage chamber 10 have a discharge chute 3 at the bottom. The discharge chute 3 is provided with a discharge assembly 5 for quantitative discharge. The top of the feeding box 1 is connected to a top cover 7 by a hinge. The top cover 7 abuts and seals against the storage cavity inside the feeding box 1. A movable plate 11 is slidably connected to the middle of the bottom end of the feeding box 1. The counterweight foot pedal assembly 2 and the discharge assembly 5 are linked together by the movable plate 11.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment, based on the above structure, the counterweight foot pedal assembly 2 further includes a support rod 21, a standing plate 22, a tension spring 23, and a crossbar 24. The two support rods 21 are respectively bearing mounted on the bottom left and right outer walls of the feeding box 1. One end of the support rod 21 is fixedly connected to the standing plate 22, and the other end of the support rod 21 is fixedly installed with the tension spring 23 between it and the feeding box 1. A crossbar 24 is fixedly provided between the ends of the two support rods 21 away from the standing plate 22.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment, based on the above structure, the upper surface of the movable plate 11 near the feeding assembly 5 has a toothed structure, and the other end of the movable plate 11 has an inclined groove 12. The crossbar 24 is engaged and slidably connected to the movable plate 11 through the inclined groove 12.

[0034] In this embodiment, the power arm of the support rod 21 is greater than its resistance arm, so that when pets such as cats and dogs jump onto the stand plate 22, it is easy to rotate the support rod 21 and the crossbar 24, and the crossbar 24 presses against the inclined groove 12, thereby pushing the movable plate 11 forward stably.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment, based on the above structure, the bottom front end of the feeding box 1 is provided with a horizontally extending protrusion, and two feeding troughs 4 are provided in the protrusion, which are distributed left and right. The two feeding troughs 4 are respectively located below the outlets of the two discharge troughs 3.

[0036] In this embodiment, two discharge troughs 3 are used to facilitate the addition of water and food to the two feeding troughs 4 respectively, which makes it easier to feed water and food at the same time. The device is more functional and more practical.

[0037] As a preferred embodiment, based on the above structure, the feeding assembly 5 further includes a horizontal shaft 51, a gear 52, a feeding column 53, a sealing sleeve 54, and a storage cavity 55. The horizontal shaft 51 is connected to the feeding box 1 bearing. The gear 52 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the middle part of the horizontal shaft 51. The feeding column 53 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of both ends of the horizontal shaft 51. The storage cavity 55 is opened on the outer wall of the feeding column 53.

[0038] As a preferred embodiment, based on the above structure, the gear 52 further engages with the tooth-like structure on the upper surface of the movable plate 11, and the two discharge columns 53 are respectively sealed and rotatably installed in the two discharge troughs 3. The outer surface of the discharge column 53 is adhesively fitted with a sealing sleeve 54, which is made of elastic rubber.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the movable plate 11 moves forward and controls the horizontal shaft 51 and the two feeding columns 53 to rotate 180° by the gear 52 meshing with it, the food and water in the storage chambers 55 of the two feeding columns 53 can flow into the two feeding troughs 4 through the two discharge troughs 3, which facilitates automatic feeding and watering. Moreover, the storage chamber 55 has a limited volume, which can realize quantitative feeding.

[0040] As a preferred embodiment, based on the above structure, the front end of the feeding box 1 is further fitted with a transparent plexiglass observation window 6. The two observation windows 6 are located directly in front of the water storage chamber 9 and the feed storage chamber 10, respectively. The rear end of the feeding box 1 is rotatably installed with two sets of rollers 13. The two sets of rollers 13 are located on the upper and lower sides of the movable plate 11, respectively, and each set of rollers 13 has two rollers.

[0041] In this embodiment, two observation windows 6 are used to facilitate observation of the remaining amount of water and food in the water storage chamber 9 and the food storage chamber 10, so as to facilitate timely replenishment.

[0042] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0043] When in use, first place the device in the designated position, and add water and food to the water storage chamber 9 and food storage chamber 10 in the feeding box 1 respectively. Then, rotate the top cover 7 to seal the storage cavity inside the feeding box 1. When the pet needs to drink water and eat, it can jump onto the standing platform 22. Using the pet's own weight and the lever action of the support rod 21, the support rod 21, the standing platform 22 and the crossbar 24 can rotate. The crossbar 24 can squeeze the movable plate 11 with the inclined groove 12 inside to move it forward. At this time, the gear 52 meshing with the movable plate 11 can drive the horizontal shaft 51 and the two feeding columns 53 to rotate 180° synchronously. This allows the food and water in the storage cavity 55 on the outer wall of the two feeding columns 53 to flow into the two feeding troughs 4 through the two discharge troughs 3, which facilitates automatic food and water feeding. Moreover, the storage cavity 55 has a limited volume, which can realize quantitative feeding and avoid excessive feeding at one time, which would cause food and water to overflow or spill, thus avoiding affecting environmental hygiene.

[0044] After the pet finishes eating and jumps off the stand 22, the counterweight foot pedal assembly 2, the movable plate 11, and the feeding assembly 5 can be reset by the weight of the stand 22 and the tension spring 23. This allows the feeding chamber 55 to face upwards again and collect new water and food, ready for the next feeding. This device can pre-store most of the water and food in the water chamber 9 and the feeding chamber 10 respectively, which can prevent food and water from being contaminated by dust and ensure the hygiene and safety of the pet's eating. Moreover, this device is small in size, does not require electricity, has low cost, and integrates feeding and drinking, making it more functional and practical.

[0045] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any equivalent changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations made by those skilled in the art based on the concept of this utility model and on the basis of existing technology through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experiments shall be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
