Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet supplies technology, specifically a feeding device for a stainless steel pet cage. Background Technology

[0002] Pets refer to creatures kept by people for spiritual purposes rather than economic purposes. Traditionally, pets refer to mammals or birds, kept for enjoyment and companionship. In real life, pets include fish, reptiles, amphibians, insects, and even plants, kept for viewing, companionship, and relieving people's mental stress. Keeping pets is an opportunity for humans to get close to nature, which can satisfy human psychological needs and is a very healthy and normal hobby.

[0003] Currently, as an important living space for pets, pet cages are designed not only to ensure the pets' comfort but also to meet their daily needs, such as feeding, drinking, and exercise. Traditional pet cages often neglect the convenience of feeding, causing pet owners to frequently open the cage door to feed their pets. This not only increases the cumbersomeness of the operation but may also cause unnecessary disturbance to the pets. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a feeding device for a stainless steel pet cage, so as to solve the problem that pet owners need to frequently open the cage door to feed their pets, which not only increases the cumbersomeness of operation, but may also cause unnecessary disturbance to the pets.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a feeding device for a stainless steel pet cage, comprising a cage body, a feeding box fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the cage body, a feed box fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cage body, a sealed bearing fixedly embedded in the inner top wall of the feed box, a conveying shaft fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sealed bearing, a conveying pipe fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the feed box, a spiral conveying plate fixedly connected to the bottom end of the conveying shaft extending into the interior of the conveying pipe, a protective box fixedly connected to the upper surface of the feed box, a drive motor fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the protective box, the output end of the drive motor fixedly connected to the top end of the conveying shaft, a control box fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the protective box, an inverter fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the protective box, and a battery module fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the protective box.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] This invention utilizes a drive motor to rotate a conveyor shaft, which in turn drives a spiral conveyor plate to rotate inside a conveyor tube. This spiral conveyor plate transports feed from the feed bin to the feeding box, achieving automatic feeding. Pet owners are no longer required to frequently open the cage door to feed their pets, reducing operational complexity, preventing disturbance, and improving pet comfort. Furthermore, the control box allows pet owners to adjust the feed amount according to their pet's needs, increasing convenience. Additionally, an inverter converts the DC power output from the battery module into AC power, providing a stable power source for the drive motor and ensuring stable operation of the feeding device.

[0019] 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.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, a feeding device for a stainless steel pet cage includes a cage body 1. A feeding box 2 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the cage body 1. A feed box 3 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cage body 1. A sealed bearing 4 is fixedly embedded in the inner top wall of the feed box 3. A conveying shaft 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sealed bearing 4. A conveying pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the feed box 3. The bottom end of the conveying shaft 5 extends into the interior of the conveying pipe 6 and is fixedly connected to a spiral conveying plate 7. A protective box 8 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the feed box 3. A drive motor 9 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the protective box 8. The output end of the drive motor 9 is fixedly connected to the top end of the conveying shaft 5. A control box 10 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the protective box 8. An inverter 11 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the protective box 8. A battery module 12 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the protective box 8.

[0021] The above solution enables automatic feeding within the pet cage. When feeding is required, the drive motor 9 is activated via the control box 10. The drive motor 9 drives the conveyor shaft 5 to rotate. The conveyor shaft 5 rotates stably within the feed box 3 via the sealed bearing 4. Simultaneously, the spiral conveyor plate 7 at the bottom of the conveyor shaft 5 rotates, conveying the pet food from the feed box 3 to the feeding box 2 via the conveyor pipe 6 for the pet to eat. Furthermore, the inverter 11 and battery module 12 ensure that the feeding device can still operate normally for a period of time in the event of a power outage, ensuring the pet's normal dietary needs.

[0022] Two limiting plates 13 are fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the protective box 8. The side of the two limiting plates 13 that are close to each other are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the battery module 12, which plays a role in limiting the battery module 12 and preventing the battery module 12 from shaking inside the protective box 8, thus improving the stability of the battery module 12. A protective plate 14 made of graphene material is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the protective box 8 by screws. A sealing door 15 is hinged to the front of the feed box 3 by a pin. A pull plate 16 is fixedly connected to the front of the sealing door 15, which makes it easy to open the sealing door 15 and add pet food to the feed box 3.

[0023] The inner bottom wall of the cage body 1 is fixedly connected with symmetrical positioning plates 17. The two positioning plates 17 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the feeding box 2 respectively, which plays a role in limiting and fixing the feeding box 2 and improving the stability of the feeding box 2. The front of the cage body 1 is hinged with a cage door 18. Both the front of the cage door 18 and the front of the cage body 1 are fixedly connected with bushings 19. The two bushings 19 are slidably connected with a pin 20. The cage door 18 is easy to open and close through the bushings 19, and it also increases the sealing between the cage door 18 and the cage body 1 to prevent the pet from escaping. The feeding box 2 is located directly below the conveying pipe 6. A camera 21 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the food box 3. The camera 21 is used to monitor the pet food in the feeding box 2 and add pet food in time to avoid the pet going hungry due to food shortage.

[0024] Working principle: When the pet needs to eat, the owner can start the drive motor 9 through the control box 10. The output of the drive motor 9 drives the conveyor shaft 5 to rotate. The conveyor shaft 5 drives the spiral conveyor plate 7 to rotate inside the conveyor pipe 6, thereby conveying the feed inside the feed box 3 to the inside of the feeding box 2 for the pet to eat. At the same time, the inverter 11 can convert the DC power output from the battery module 12 into AC power to power the camera 21 and the control box 10 and other electrical components, ensuring the normal operation of the device. The camera 21 can capture the situation inside the feeding box 2 in real time. The owner can observe the images captured by the camera 21 to understand the pet's eating situation and thus perform targeted feeding operations.
