[0010] In one alternative embodiment, the second support is a U-shaped structure, comprising a bottom arm and two side arms spaced apart from the bottom arm and arranged opposite each other. The two ends of the bottom arm along its length are respectively connected to one of the side arms to form a receiving space. The receiving space is open on the side away from the bottom arm to form a rotating opening.

[0011] The second end of the first bracket is placed in the receiving space, the second output shaft passes through one of the side arms and is fixedly connected to the second end, and a first fixing member is provided on the side of the second end away from the second output shaft, and the end of the second fixing member away from the second end is embedded in another side arm;

[0012] The axis of the second output shaft coincides with the axis of the first fixing member.

[0013] In one alternative embodiment, the first output shaft is fixedly connected to one side of a drive bracket, and the other side of the drive bracket is connected to the second bracket.

[0014] In one alternative embodiment, the multifunctional integrated pet feeding device further includes a main control board and a secondary control board electrically connected to the main control board.

[0016] In one alternative embodiment, the drive bracket and the second bracket are fixedly connected by a second fastener; a wiring channel is provided inside the second bracket along the central axis, and a wire is placed in the wiring channel, with both ends of the wire channel electrically connected to the main control board and the sub-control board, respectively.

[0017] In one alternative embodiment, the drive bracket and the second bracket are detachably connected by magnetic attraction;

[0018] A first conductive element is disposed within the drive bracket, and a second conductive element is disposed within the second bracket.

[0023] In one alternative embodiment, the entertainment component further includes a voice announcer for playing music and interacting with the pet verbally.

[0024] This utility model provides a multifunctional integrated pet feeding device. By using a rotating component, the camera component, entertainment component, and feeding component are integrated into one device. This single device can meet the diverse needs of pets and achieve a high degree of integration of all functions such as feeding, monitoring, and interaction, thereby further improving the utilization rate of the device.

[0025] The mounting base is installed above the feeding unit via the first bracket, maintaining a certain vertical height between the mounting base and the feeding unit. This raises the spatial height of the camera and entertainment components, allowing the camera to capture a wider range of images. When the pet is taller, this enhances the interactive entertainment experience for the dog. Simultaneously, the second drive unit adjusts the vertical tilt angle of the mounting base, meeting the entertainment needs of smaller pets.

[0026] In this embodiment, the first bracket not only supports the connection between the mounting base and the feeding body, but also enables the transmission connection between the first drive component and the mounting base. This simplifies the connection structure between the feeding body and the mounting base while concentrating the camera components and entertainment components on the feeding body and the mounting base onto a single device. By placing the first drive component inside the feeding body, the space volume of the mounting base is reduced, while the weight of the feeding body is increased. This prevents excessive weight on the mounting base from affecting the center of gravity of the entire device and improves the stability of the device.

[0027] The second bracket and the second drive component are housed within the mounting base. The second drive component is fixed to the second bracket, and the second output shaft is fixedly connected to the second end of the first bracket. When the first drive component drives the first output shaft to reciprocate around its axis, the first output shaft drives the first bracket to reciprocate. The reciprocating first bracket, through the second output shaft and the second bracket fixedly connected to the second drive component, drives the mounting base to reciprocate, thereby causing the camera assembly and entertainment assembly to reciprocate horizontally. When the second drive component drives the second output shaft to reciprocate around its axis, the second output shaft and the first bracket are fixedly connected. The second drive unit, carrying the second bracket, reciprocates around the axis of the second output shaft, causing the mounting base to reciprocate in the vertical direction. In this embodiment, the first drive unit and the first bracket are connected, the first bracket and the second output shaft are fixedly connected, and the second bracket and the second drive unit are fixedly connected. This not only enables the mounting base to reciprocate in both the horizontal and vertical directions, but also allows the mounting base to reciprocate in both the horizontal and vertical directions simultaneously when the first and second drive units are working. This enriches the rotation directions of the mounting base, enabling comprehensive monitoring while improving the movement trajectory of the entertainment components and enhancing the interaction between the device and the pet.

[0050] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0051] based on Figure 1-8 As shown, this embodiment provides a multifunctional integrated pet feeding device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, this multifunctional integrated pet feeding device includes: a feeding component 1, a camera component 3, an entertainment component 4, and a rotating component 5; Figure 2 As shown, the feeding assembly 1 includes a feeding body 11, inside which is a feeding mechanism 12 for feeding food into a food bowl 13 installed at the lower end of the feeding body 11; the rotating assembly 5 includes a mounting base 51, a first driving member 52, a second driving member 53, a first bracket 54, and a second bracket 55; the camera assembly 3 and the entertainment assembly 4 are fixedly mounted on the mounting base 51, which is located at the upper end of the feeding body 11 and partially suspended above the food bowl 13; the first driving member 52 is disposed inside the feeding body 11 and fixedly connected to the feeding body 11. The first output shaft 521 of the first drive member 52 is vertically arranged, and the first output shaft 521 and the first end 541 of the first bracket 54 are connected to the first end inserted into the feeding body 11; the second drive member 53 and the second bracket 55 are disposed in the mounting base 51, the second drive member 53 is fixedly connected to the second bracket 55, the second bracket 55 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 51, the second end 542 of the first bracket 54 is inserted into the mounting base 51 and fixedly connected to the second output shaft 531, wherein the axial direction of the first output shaft 521 and the axial direction of the second output shaft 531 are perpendicular.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, the entertainment component 4 includes a laser 41, which is vertically higher than the lens of the camera component 3. The laser beam emitted by the laser 41 is vertically downward and tilted. The laser 41 can interact with the pet at any time by emitting a beam of light onto the ground or wall, improving the pet's quality of life, preventing loneliness, and enhancing the pet's exercise intensity. The first drive component 52 and the second drive component 53 drive the first output shaft 521 and the second output shaft 531 to rotate, thereby driving the first bracket 54 and the second bracket 55, which in turn drive the mounting base 51 to rotate. This causes the beam emitted by the laser 41 on the mounting base 51 to move in multiple directions, attracting the pet's attention through rapid movement and making the pet run and jump following the beam of light.

[0053] In another implementation, such as Figure 3As shown, the entertainment component 4 also includes a voice broadcaster 42 for playing music and interacting with the pet verbally. When the owner is away and the pet is home alone, the owner can wirelessly drive the rotation of the first drive unit 52 and the second drive unit 53, and converse with the pet through the voice broadcaster 42. The owner can monitor the pet's behavior in real time using the camera component 3, and control the rotation direction of the mounting base 51 by controlling the first drive unit 52 and the second drive unit 53 based on the pet's behavior, thereby controlling the movement trajectory of the light beam. Combined with the verbal interaction of the voice broadcaster 42, auditory and behavioral interaction between the person and the pet is realized, improving the fun of the interaction between the person and the pet and the quality of life of the pet.

[0054] In another implementation, the entertainment component 4 further includes a long, elastic rod and an attraction element (not shown) integrally connected to the elastic rod. One end of the elastic rod is fixed to the mounting base 51, and the other end is connected to the attraction element and suspended in the air. When the mounting base 51 rotates, it causes the elastic rod to rotate, which in turn causes the attraction element to move continuously in the air to attract the pet's attention, thereby increasing the fun of human-pet interaction and the pet's quality of life.

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, a cavity is formed inside the feeding body 11. A partition 15 is installed inside the feeding body 11, which is placed horizontally to divide the vertical cavity into upper and lower spaces. The upper space is used to store grain, forming a grain storage silo 16, and the lower space forms a receiving cavity 17 for accommodating the feeding mechanism 12. An opening 18 is provided at the lower end of the feeding body 11 to accommodate a feeding bowl 13, allowing the receiving cavity 17 to communicate with the outside through the opening 18. The feeding bowl 13 is placed at the opening 18, with part of it placed inside the receiving cavity 17 and connected to the grain storage 16 through a pipe 19. The feeding mechanism 12 controls the grain in the grain storage 16 to flow into the feeding bowl 13 through the pipe 19, while the other part of the feeding bowl 13 is placed outside.

[0056] like Figure 5 As shown, the feeding mechanism 12 includes a third drive member 121, a third support 122, a hopper 123, and a feeding rotor 124. The geometric center of the partition 15 is recessed downward in the vertical direction to form a cylindrical rotating groove 125. The hopper 123 and the feeding rotor 124 are installed in the rotating groove 125. The outer wall of the hopper 123 and the side wall of the rotating groove 125 form an abutment in the vertical direction to fix the hopper 123.

[0057] The partition 15 includes a guide plate 151 for guiding grain to flow into the hopper 123 and a support member 152 for supporting the feeding mechanism 12. The upper surface of the guide plate 151 is inclined downward from the edge area to the center to guide the grain in the grain bin 16 to move along the upper surface of the guide plate 151 into the hopper 123 in the rotating trough 125. The support member 152 is a cylindrical structure. The upper end of the support member 152 in the vertical direction is connected to the bottom of the guide plate 151. A rotating groove 125 is opened at the geometric center of the support member 152. The hopper 123 is set at the opening of the rotating groove 125. The outer side wall of the hopper 123 and the inner side wall of the first support member 152 form an abutment in the vertical direction to support the hopper 123. At the same time, the feeding rotor 124 is set between the hopper 123 and the bottom of the rotating groove 125. Part of the third bracket 122 extends out from the bottom of the rotating groove 125 and is fixedly connected to the feeding rotor 124. Another part of the third bracket 122 is placed below the partition plate 15 and is fixedly connected to the third output shaft 126 of the third drive member 121.

[0058] A first discharge port 1231 is provided on the side wall of the hopper 123. Two rakes 127 are provided between the hopper 123 and the discharge rotor 124. The upper end of the rakes 127 in the vertical direction is connected to the bottom end of the hopper 123, and the two rakes 127 are arranged on both sides of the first discharge port 1231 in the horizontal direction, so that the hopper 123, the rakes 127 and the discharge rotor 124 form a discharge channel. The grain in the hopper 123 enters the discharge channel from the first discharge port 1231. A second discharge port 1521 is provided at the bottom of the support member 152. When the third drive member 121 drives the discharge rotor 124 and the hopper 123 to rotate around the axis of the third output shaft 126, when the discharge channel and the second discharge port 1521 are aligned and connected in the vertical direction, the grain in the discharge channel flows out of the support member 152 from the second discharge port 1521.

[0059] The second feeding port 1521 is aligned and connected to the inlet of pipe 19, and the outlet of pipe 19 is located above the feeding bowl 13. Pipe 19 is inclined downwards, with the end near the second feeding port 1521 being higher than the end above the feeding bowl 13, allowing food to flow along pipe 19 into the feeding bowl 13. When feeding is needed, the third drive unit 121 in the feeding mechanism 12 drives the third output shaft 124 to rotate, which in turn drives the feeding rotor 124 to rotate and feed through the third bracket 122. This allows food in the hopper 123 to enter the feeding channel through the first feeding port 1231. During the rotation of the feeding rotor 124, food in the feeding channel enters pipe 19 from the second feeding port 1521 and slides down pipe 19 into the feeding bowl 13, achieving timed and fixed-point feeding. At the same time, the owner can also input feeding commands to the controller via wireless communication to achieve feeding at any time.

[0060] The rotating component 5 integrates the camera component 3, entertainment component 4, and feeding component 1 into one device, which can meet the needs of various types of pets. At the same time, by integrating functions such as feeding, filming, and pet entertainment into one device, it can complete all functions such as feeding, monitoring, and interaction, thereby further improving the utilization rate of the device.

[0061] The mounting base 51 is installed above the feeding body 11 by the first bracket 54, so that the mounting base 51 and the feeding body 11 maintain a certain height in the vertical direction, raising the spatial height of the camera component 3 and the entertainment component 4, making the shooting range of the camera component 3 larger. When the pet is tall, it can improve the entertainment and interaction effect of the entertainment component 4 on the dog. In addition, the tilt angle of the mounting base 51 in the vertical direction can be adjusted by the second drive component 53 to meet the entertainment needs of smaller pets.

[0062] In this embodiment, the first bracket 54 not only supports the connection between the mounting base 51 and the feeding body 11, but also realizes the transmission connection between the first drive component 52 and the mounting base 51. This simplifies the connection structure between the feeding body 11 and the mounting base 51, while concentrating the camera component 3 and entertainment component 4 on the feeding body 11 and the mounting base 51 on one device. By placing the first drive component 52 inside the feeding body 11, the space volume of the mounting base 51 is reduced, while the weight of the feeding body 11 is increased. This avoids excessive weight on the mounting base 51 affecting the center of gravity of the entire device and improves the stability of the device.

[0063] The second bracket 55 and the second drive member 53 are disposed within the mounting base 51. The second drive member 53 is fixed to the second bracket 55. The second output shaft 531 is fixedly connected to the second end 542 of the first bracket 54. When the first drive member 52 drives the first output shaft 521 to reciprocate around the axis of the first output shaft 521, the first output shaft 521 drives the first bracket 54 to reciprocate. The reciprocating first bracket 54 drives the mounting base 51 to reciprocate through the second output shaft 531 and the second bracket 55 fixedly connected to the second drive member 53, thereby driving the camera assembly 3 and the entertainment assembly 4 to reciprocate in the horizontal direction. When the second drive member 53 drives the second output shaft 531 to reciprocate around the axis of the second output shaft 531, the second output shaft 531 and the second end 542 of the first bracket 54 are fixedly connected. The first bracket 54 is fixedly connected, causing the second drive member 53 to rotate the second bracket 55 back and forth around the axis of the second output shaft 531, which in turn drives the mounting base 51 to rotate back and forth in the vertical direction. In this embodiment, the first drive member 52 and the first bracket 54 are connected, the first bracket 54 and the second output shaft 531 are fixedly connected, and the second bracket 55 and the second drive member 53 are fixedly connected. This not only enables the mounting base 51 to rotate back and forth in the horizontal and vertical directions, but also allows the mounting base 51 to rotate back and forth in the horizontal and vertical directions simultaneously when the first drive member 52 and the second drive member 53 are working at the same time. This enriches the rotation direction of the mounting base 51, achieves all-round monitoring, improves the movement trajectory of the entertainment component 4, and enhances the interaction between the device and the pet.

[0064] In one implementation of this embodiment, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the second bracket 55 has a U-shaped structure. The second bracket 55 includes a bottom arm 551 and two side arms 552 that are arranged opposite to each other at intervals from the bottom arm 551. The two ends of the bottom arm 551 in the length direction are respectively connected to one side arm 552 to form a receiving space 553. The receiving space 553 is open on the side away from the bottom arm 551 to form a rotating opening 554. The second end 542 of the first bracket 54 is placed in the receiving space 553. The second output shaft 531 passes through one side arm 552 and is fixedly connected to the second end 542. A first fixing member 65 is provided on the side of the second end 542 away from the second output shaft 542. The end of the first fixing member 56 away from the second end 542 is embedded in the other side arm 552. The axis of the second output shaft 531 coincides with the axis of the first fixing member 56.

[0065] To ensure a wider shooting range for the camera component 3 and achieve comprehensive monitoring of the pet, the entertainment component 4 of the camera component 3 is installed outside the feeding body 11. This prevents the presence of the feeding body 11 from interfering with the shooting range of the camera component 3 and hindering the interaction range between the entertainment component 4 and the pet. At the same time, the mounting base 51 is set at the top of the feeding body 11, raising the field of view of the camera component 3 and increasing the rotation angle range of the mounting base 51.

[0066] The two side arms 552 of the second bracket 55 are arranged at a distance from each other. The two ends of the bottom arm 551 are fixedly connected to one end of one side arm 552 respectively in the length direction of the bottom arm 551. Fixing parts are provided on the outer side of the side arm 552 and the bottom arm 551 away from the receiving space 553. They are fixedly installed to the inner wall of the housing of the mounting base 51 by bolts and other fasteners to prevent relative movement between the second bracket 55 and the mounting base 51.

[0067] like Figure 7 As shown, a second end 542 of the second bracket 55 is provided on the side arm of the second bracket 55, and a channel is provided for the first fixing member 56 to pass through. One end of the first fixing member 56 is fixedly connected to the first bracket 54, and the other end is embedded in the channel. The second driving member 53 is disposed outside the other side arm 552 of the second bracket 55 and is fixedly connected to the side arm 552 to support the stability of the second driving member 53 in the mounting base. The second output shaft 531 of the second driving member 53 passes through the side arm 552 and is fixedly connected to the second end 542. The second output shaft 531 and the first fixing member 56 respectively connect the two side arms 551 of the second bracket 55 and the second end 542 of the first bracket 54. When the first driving member 52 drives the first output shaft 521 to reciprocate, the first output shaft 521 drives the first bracket 54 to reciprocate. The first bracket 54 reciprocates around the axis of the first output shaft 521. The first bracket 54 drives the second bracket 55 to reciprocate in the horizontal direction through the first fixing member 56 and the second output shaft 531, thereby driving the mounting base to reciprocate on the horizontal plane.

[0068] The second output shaft 531 and the first bracket 54 are fixedly connected. When the second driving member 53 drives the second output shaft 531 to reciprocate, the second output shaft 531 is fixed, causing other structures on the second driving member, except for the second output shaft 531, to reciprocate around the axis of the second output shaft 531. This, in turn, drives the second bracket 55, which is fixedly connected to the second driving member, to reciprocate around the axis of the second output shaft 531. The axis of the first fixing member 56 coincides with the axis of the second output shaft 531. The second driving member 53 drives the second bracket 55 to reciprocate around the axis of the second output shaft 531. During the reciprocating rotation, the second bracket 55 reciprocates relative to the axis around the first fixing member 56, ensuring that the reciprocating rotation of the second bracket 55 is not hindered by the insertion of the first bracket 54 into the receiving space 553. By setting a rotating opening 554, when the second bracket 55 rotates vertically, the rotating opening 554 gradually moves closer to or further away from the first bracket 54. The space between the rotating openings 554 is used to accommodate the first bracket 54, avoiding collisions between the second bracket 55 and the first bracket 54 during rotation, thus enabling the second bracket 55 to rotate within a larger angle range. When the first bracket 54 reciprocates, driving the second bracket 55 to reciprocate horizontally, the second driving member 53 and the mounting base 51 remain stationary. When the second driving member 53 drives the second bracket 55 to reciprocate vertically, thereby driving the mounting base 51 to reciprocate vertically, the rotation directions of the second driving member 53 and the mounting base 51 are consistent.

[0069] The first driving member 52 drives the first output shaft 521 to reciprocate within an angle range of 0 to 359 degrees. When the second driving member 53 drives the second output shaft 531 to rotate, the portion of the second driving member 53 fixed on the second bracket 55 reciprocates within an angle range of 0 to 90 degrees.

[0070] In this embodiment, a specially structured second bracket 55 is used to insert the second end 542 of the first bracket 54 into the receiving space 553 of the second bracket 55. This simplifies the installation connection between the mounting base 51 and the feeding body 11, avoids a large internal space occupation of the mounting base, and ensures a compact connection between the various structures. By compactly arranging and installing the first bracket 54, the second bracket 55, the first drive component 52, and the second drive component 53, the horizontal rotation and vertical pitch adjustment of the mounting base 51 can be achieved. The horizontal and vertical rotations do not affect each other. When the first drive component 52 and the second drive component 53 work simultaneously, the rotation trajectory of the mounting base 51 is ensured to be curved, enriching the movement trajectory of the beam or attracting component in the entertainment component 4 and enhancing the fun of the entertainment component 4.

[0071] In one implementation of this embodiment, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first output shaft 521 is fixedly connected to one side of a drive bracket 57, and the drive bracket 57 is connected to the other side of a second bracket 55. To avoid the second bracket 55 being too heavy and affecting the overall center of gravity of the equipment, the second bracket 55 is hollow to avoid excessive overall mass. Therefore, a drive bracket 57 is used to realize the transmission connection between the first output shaft 521 and the first bracket 54, ensuring that the first output shaft 521 can stably drive the first bracket 54 to rotate horizontally and reciprocally. The drive bracket 57 has a ring structure with a connecting part in the ring. The connecting part is integrated with the inner wall of the ring structure of the drive bracket 57. The connecting part is fixedly connected to the first output shaft 521. The side of the drive bracket 57 away from the first drive member 52 is fixedly connected to the first bracket 54 through a second fixing member.

[0072] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the multi-functional integrated pet feeding device also includes a main control board 21 and a secondary control board 22 electrically connected to the main control board 21. The main control board 21 is located in the main body and connected to the feeding mechanism 12 and the first drive component 52; the secondary control board 22 is located in the mounting base 51 and connected to the camera component 3, the entertainment component 4 and the second drive component 53.

[0073] The feeding unit 11 is equipped with a battery, which is electrically connected to the main control board 21 to power the entire integrated pet feeding device. The main control board 21 is electrically connected to the first drive component 52, the third drive component 121, and the sub-control board 22. The sub-control board 22 is electrically connected to the camera component 3, the entertainment component 4, and the second drive component 53. This ensures that if the sub-control board 22 or its second drive component 53, camera component 3, or entertainment component 4 malfunctions, the operation of the main control board 21 will not be affected, thus improving the reliability and stability of the device. At the same time, by placing the control boards responsible for components in different locations in different positions, even when the mounting base 51 is placed outside the feeding unit 11 in this embodiment, the normal operation of different components in different locations can be achieved through simple circuitry. This also avoids complicating the overall wiring of the device, enhancing the user experience and market competitiveness of the device.

[0074] The drive bracket 57 and the second bracket 55 are fixedly connected by a second fastener. A wiring channel 543 is provided through the second bracket 55 along the axis. The wires are placed in the wiring channel 543. The two ends of the wire channel are electrically connected to the main control board and the secondary control board 22, respectively. The second fastener includes structures such as bolts.

[0075] In this embodiment, to maximize the rotation angle of the mounting base 51 and ensure the field of view of the camera component 3 and the interactive fun between the entertainment component 4 and the pet, the mounting base 51, which houses the camera component 3 and the entertainment component 4, is positioned at the upper vertical position of the feeding body 11. Simultaneously, to ensure the normal operation of the camera component 3, the entertainment component 4, and the feeding mechanism 12 without mutual interference, the control board controlling the components within the feeding body 11 and the control board controlling the components within the mounting base 51 are separated, avoiding circuitry complexity due to the installation positions of the mounting base 51 and the feeding body 11.

[0076] Therefore, to avoid separately powering the mounting base 51 and the feeding body 11, a power supply structure 14 is provided inside the feeding body 11. The power supply structure 14 is electrically connected to the main control board 21 to supply power to the main control board 21. The main control board 21 then supplies power to the sub-control board 22, the first drive component 52, and the third drive component 121 in the feeding mechanism 12. The sub-control board 22 then supplies power to the second drive component 53, the camera component 3, and the entertainment component 4 inside the mounting base 51. This avoids the complex wiring of the device caused by directly supplying power from the main control board 21 to the second drive component 53, the camera component 3, and the entertainment component 4 inside the mounting base 51. At the same time, because the mounting base 51 needs to rotate in one or both horizontal and vertical directions, if the circuitry is exposed outside the mounting base 51 and the feeding body 11, the messy wires will not only affect the appearance of the multi-functional integrated pet feeding device, but the exposed circuitry will also come into direct contact with the pet, posing a danger to the pet.

[0077] In this embodiment, as Figure 7 As shown, by setting a wiring channel 543 inside the second bracket 55, the wires are hidden inside the bracket, ensuring that the wires can extend orderly from the feeding body 11 to the mounting base 51, avoiding mutual interference between the wires, and realizing the circuit and communication connection between the main control board 21, the auxiliary control board 22 and other components.

[0078] Another implementation of this embodiment is as follows: Figure 8 As shown, the drive bracket 57 and the second bracket 55 are detachably connected by magnetic attraction; a first conductive element 571 is provided in the drive bracket 57, and a second conductive element 545 is provided in the second bracket 55. The main control board 21 is electrically connected to the first conductive element 571. One end of the second conductive element 545 is electrically connected to the first conductive element 571, and the other end extends along the axial direction of the second bracket 55 into the mounting base 51 and is electrically connected to the sub-control board 22.

[0079] To avoid complex electrical connections between the main control board 21 and the sub-control board 22, the main control board 21 and the first drive component 52 are electrically connected via wires. A first conductive element 571 is installed inside the drive bracket 57, and a second conductive sheet is installed inside the first bracket 54. When the drive bracket 57 and the first bracket 54 are connected, the first conductive element 571 and the second conductive sheet are electrically connected. The second conductive sheet extends along the length of the first bracket 54, enters the mounting base 51, and is electrically connected to the sub-control board 22, thus achieving electrical connection between the feeding body 11 and the components in the mounting base 51.

[0080] A slip ring (not shown) is provided on the first output shaft 521. The main control board 21 and the first drive unit 52 are electrically connected by wires. The first conductive plate in the drive bracket 57 and the first output shaft 521 are electrically connected by the slip ring to realize the electrical connection of the components in the feeding body 11 and the mounting base 51.

[0081] The secondary control board 22, the second drive unit 53, the camera component 3, and the entertainment component 4 are electrically connected by wires, which can effectively reduce the use of wires, shorten the wires between various components, avoid duplication of internal circuits of the equipment, and quickly locate the problem when a component or electrical connection has a problem, thus improving the repair speed.

[0082] The drive bracket 57 and / or the first bracket 54 are magnetic components, or at least one of the drive bracket 57 and / or the first bracket 54 is a metal component. When the drive bracket 57 and the first bracket 54 are close together, the first bracket 54 and the drive bracket 57 are stably connected by magnetic attraction. When it is necessary to disassemble and repair the mounting base 51 and the feeding body 11, it can be quickly disassembled and repaired under the action of external force.

[0083] In this embodiment, a first conductive element 571 is installed in the drive bracket 57, and a second conductive element 545 is installed in the second bracket 55. This effectively realizes the circuit and communication connection between the main control board 21 and the secondary control board 22 in the mounting base 51, improving the flexibility of the device and the user experience, ensuring the reliability of the circuit connection, optimizing the structural design of the device, enhancing the adaptability of the device, and avoiding contact with exposed wires during disassembly and installation, thus improving the safety of the device.

[0084] like Figure 4 As shown, the mounting base 51 suspended above the food bowl 13 is provided with a connecting plate 511; the connecting plate 511 extends vertically from top to bottom towards the direction of the second bracket 55, the camera component 3 and the entertainment component 4 are mounted on the connecting plate 511, and the camera component 3 is vertically inclined downwards.

[0085] like Figure 4As shown, the mounting base 51 includes an upper housing 512 and a lower housing 513. The upper housing 512 and the lower housing 513 are connected to accommodate the second drive member 53, the second bracket 55, and the sub-control board 22. A connecting plate 511 is installed between the upper housing 512 and the lower housing 513 to form a side wall of the mounting base 51. The camera in the camera assembly 3 and the laser 41 in the entertainment assembly 4 are both mounted on the connecting plate 511. The connecting plate 511 extends vertically from top to bottom towards the second bracket 55, so that the camera's viewing angle and the laser beam emission direction of the laser 41 are tilted downwards.

[0086] An insertion port is provided on the lower housing 513. The second end 542 of the first bracket 54 is inserted into the mounting base 51 through the insertion port. The size of the insertion port is larger than the horizontal cross-sectional size of the first bracket 54, so that the insertion port can accommodate the first bracket 54. When the mounting base 51 is tilted under the action of the second bracket 55 and the second drive member 53, as the connecting plate 511 and the camera component 3 and entertainment component 4 mounted on the connecting plate 511 rotate around the axis of the second output shaft 531 and gradually approach the first bracket 54, the presence of the first bracket 54 will not hinder the rotation of the lower housing 513. That is, the space area of ​​the insertion port can accommodate the first bracket 54. When the mounting base 51 rotates around the axis of the second output shaft 531 and gradually approaches the first bracket 54, the first bracket 54 and the lower housing 513 will not collide or contact in the direction of rotation around the second output shaft 531, ensuring the normal rotation trajectory of the mounting base 51.
