[0042] The sensor 30 is fixedly mounted on the water tank 50 by bolts. The sensor 30 is electrically connected to the drive board on the electric pump 20 by wires, so that the sensor 30 can send a signal to the electric pump 20 to trigger the operation of the electric pump 20.

[0043] When using this pet feeder and water dispenser, the pet feeder 100 can be used to feed the pet, and the pet water dispenser 200 can be used to provide water to the pet.

[0044] In specific use, the pet feeder 100 can hold food in the feeding chamber 11 of the feeding bin 1. Some of the food can fall into the groove 22 through the through hole 31. However, the food in the groove 22 cannot move to the discharge port 221 due to the obstruction of the guide block 8 and the push block 421. That is, the pet feeder will not dispense food at this time.

[0045] When a pet approaches the pet feeder 100, the sensor 5 can sense the pet's approach and send a signal to the motor 44. The motor 44 then operates and drives the rotating shaft 43 to rotate. The first feeding component 41 and the second feeding component 42 can rotate along with the rotating shaft 43.

[0046] When the second feeder 42 rotates, it can push the feed to the discharge port 221. The feed flowing out of the discharge port 221 can flow through the guide block 6 to the outlet 23. Finally, the feed flowing out of the outlet 23 can fall into the feeding dish 7 to facilitate the pet's eating. At the same time, the first feeder 41 is also rotating. The first feeder 41 can push the feed in the feed bin 1 to the through hole 31 to replenish the feed in the groove 22 in time.

[0047] When the pet finishes eating and moves away from the pet feeder 100, the sensor 5 no longer senses that the pet is nearby. At this time, the sensor 5 can stop sending signals to the motor 44, the motor 44 stops working, and the discharge port 221 can stop discharging feed.

[0048] In practical use, the pet water dispenser 200 allows water to be placed in the receiving cavity 501. Under normal circumstances, the electric pump 20 is not working, and the water is stored in the receiving cavity 501 to prevent it from being contaminated by the outside world.

[0049] When a pet approaches the drinking water provided by this invention, the sensor 30 detects the pet's proximity and triggers the electric pump 20 to operate. The electric pump 20 draws water from the receiving cavity 501 and outputs it to the outlet 101. The water output from the outlet 101 is received by the recess 401 of the drinking tray 40, allowing the pet to drink from the recess 401.

[0050] When the pet finishes drinking water, it will move away. At this time, the sensor 30 will no longer detect that there is a pet nearby, so it will no longer send a signal to trigger the electric pump 20. The electric pump 20 will stop working, and water will no longer be output from the outlet 101.

[0051] In addition, when there is a large amount of water in the recess 401 and the water level reaches the location of the return water hole 402, the excess water can flow back into the receiving cavity 501 through the return water hole 402, and the returned water will flow through the filter sponge 60 to filter the returned water, so as to prevent the returned water from carrying garbage and other things back into the water contained in the receiving cavity 501.

[0052] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and improvements fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
