Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeder technology, and more specifically, to an automatic feeding structure for intelligent cat houses. Background Technology

[0002] Many cat lovers adopt cats at home. With rising living standards and increasing demands, automatic cat food dispensers have emerged. These dispensers can automatically dispense cat food into the container according to preset time parameters, freeing up the user's hands. The dispensers contain servo motors, rotating shafts, and multiple dividers. However, existing technology has the following shortcomings:

[0003] Set the timer switch parameters and start the servo motor at regular intervals to ensure the servo motor rotates at the same angle each time. The servo motor drives the shaft and multiple partitions to rotate, causing the cat food between two partitions to be discharged from the discharge port. However, the amount of food discharged each time is relatively fixed and cannot be adjusted. The amount of cat food required for a single feeding is different for cats of different stages and breeds, so it is necessary to be able to adjust the amount of food discharged each time.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an intelligent cattery with an automatic feeding system to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that existing methods involve setting parameters on a timer switch to start a servo motor at regular intervals, ensuring the servo motor rotates at the same angle each time. The servo motor drives a rotating shaft and multiple partitions to rotate, causing cat food between two partitions to be discharged from the discharge port. However, the amount of cat food discharged each time is relatively fixed and cannot be adjusted. For cats of different stages and breeds, the amount of cat food required for a single feeding is different, and there is a need to be a way to adjust the amount of cat food discharged each time.

[0030] Example:

[0031] like Figure 1-5 As shown in this embodiment, an automatic feeding structure for a smart cat house includes a base 1, a bracket 2 fixedly mounted on the top of the base 1, a feed cylinder 3 fixedly mounted on the bracket 2, an openable cylinder cover 24 mounted on the top of the feed cylinder 3, a feed pipe 4 fixedly connected to the bottom of the feed cylinder 3, a pipe body 5 fixedly connected to the end of the feed pipe 4 away from the feed cylinder 3, a connecting rod 6 provided in the middle of the pipe body 5, and six partition plates 7 arranged at equal angles in a circle fixedly connected to the connecting rod 6, the internal space of the pipe body 5 is divided into six identical feed cavities 8 by the six partition plates 7, a discharge port 9 is provided on the pipe body 5, a fixing plate 10 is provided on one side of the pipe body 5, a connecting plate 11 is rotatably connected to one side surface of the fixing plate 10, and six partition plates 7 arranged at equal angles in a circle are fixedly mounted on one side surface of the connecting plate 11. The tube body 5 has six fixed rods 12 arranged at an angle. One end of the fixed rod 12 is fixedly connected to a push plate 13. The six push plates 13 are located in the six feeding cavities 8 respectively. The outer surface of the tube body 5 is fixedly connected to a fixed seat 14. An electric push rod 15 is fixedly connected to the fixed seat 14. The end of the electric push rod 15 away from the fixed seat 14 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 10. The electric push rod 15 drives the fixed plate 10 to move closer to the tube body 5. Through the connecting plate 11, the six fixed rods 12 and the six push plates 13 move synchronously with the fixed plate 10. The position of the push plates 13 in the feeding cavity 8 changes. By cooperating with the six push plates 13 and the six partition plates 7, the amount of cat food that can be contained in the feeding cavity 8 can be changed, which is convenient to adapt to cats of different breeds and stages.

[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a timer start switch 16 is installed on the back of the bracket 2. An outer frame 17 is fixedly connected to one end of the tube body 5. A servo motor 18 is fixedly installed on the inner surface of the outer frame 17. A connecting plate 19 is fixedly connected to the output shaft end of the servo motor 18. One end of the connecting rod 6 is fixedly connected to the center of one side surface of the connecting plate 19. The electric push rod 15 and the servo motor 18 are both electrically connected to the timer start switch 16. The connecting plate 19 is located inside the tube body 5. The push plate 13 is in contact with two adjacent partition plates 7. The servo motor 18 is started by the timer start switch 16. The servo motor 18 drives the connecting plate 19 to rotate twice. Each rotation angle is 60 degrees. The connecting plate 19 drives the connecting rod 6 and the six partition plates 7 to rotate. After the three adjacent material chambers 8 are filled with cat food, the servo motor 18 stops working, which facilitates automatic feeding later.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a slot is provided on the top of the base 1, and a feed box 20 is installed in the slot. The feed box 20 is located directly below the discharge port 9. The time interval for starting the servo motor 18 is set by the timer start switch 16. When feeding cat food, the servo motor 18 is started by the timer start switch 16. The servo motor 18 drives the connecting plate 19 and the connecting rod 6 to rotate 60 degrees. The six partition plates 7 rotate with the connecting rod 6. The push plate 13, the fixing rod 12 and the connecting plate 11 rotate accordingly, so that the cat food in one of the feed chambers 8 is discharged into the feed box 20 through the discharge port 9, realizing automatic feeding of cat food.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, two symmetrically distributed L-shaped rods 21 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the tube body 5, and two symmetrically distributed guide plates 22 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixing plate 10. The two guide plates 22 are respectively sleeved on the two L-shaped rods 21. When the fixing plate 10 moves, the two guide plates 22 move accordingly. By cooperating with the two L-shaped rods 21, the moving fixing plate 10 can be guided.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a positioning seat 23 is fixedly connected between the bracket 2 and the tube body 5. The positioning seat 23 can fix the tube body 5 and prevent the tube body 5 from shifting.

[0036] Specifically, in use, the automatic feeding structure of this intelligent cat house works as follows: The electric push rod 15 is activated by the timer start switch 16. The electric push rod 15 moves the fixed plate 10 closer to the tube body 5. Through the connecting plate 11, the six fixed rods 12 and six push plates 13 move synchronously with the fixed plate 10. The position of the push plates 13 within the feeding chamber 8 changes. By cooperating with the six partition plates 7, the amount of cat food that can be held in the feeding chamber 8 can be changed. After the fixed plate 10 is moved to the appropriate position, the electric push rod 15 stops working. Then, the cylinder cover 24 is opened, and cat food is poured into the feeding cylinder 3. The cat food in the feeding cylinder 3 is discharged into the feeding chamber 8 through the discharge pipe 4. The user activates the servo motor 16 via the timer start switch 16. 8. The servo motor 18 drives the connecting plate 19 to rotate twice, each rotation angle being 60 degrees. The connecting plate 19 drives the connecting rod 6 and the six partition plates 7 to rotate, so that the three adjacent feeding chambers 8 are filled with cat food, and then the servo motor 18 stops working. The time interval for starting the servo motor 18 is set by the timer start switch 16. When feeding cat food later, the timer start switch 16 starts the servo motor 18, which drives the connecting plate 19 and the connecting rod 6 to rotate 60 degrees. The six partition plates 7 follow the rotation of the connecting rod 6, and the push plate 13, the fixing rod 12 and the connecting plate 11 rotate accordingly, so that the cat food in one of the feeding chambers 8 is discharged into the feeding box 20 through the discharge port 9, realizing automatic feeding of cat food.
