[0032] The technical solutions of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments thereof. Please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 One embodiment of this utility model provides a versatile pet feeding trough, comprising:
[0033] The first component 10 is provided with a plurality of first feeding slots 11;
[0034] The second component 20 is provided with a plurality of second feeding slots 21;
[0035] The third component 30 is provided with a plurality of third feeding slots 31;
[0036] The second component 20 and the third component 30 are respectively movably disposed on both sides of the first component 10. Both the second component 20 and the third component 30 can move relative to the first component 10 to a support position supported under the first component 10 and to a horizontal placement position placed side by side with the first component 10.
[0037] The working principle of a variable pet feeding trough according to one embodiment of this utility model is explained below:
[0038] Please see Figure 2 When the second feeding trough 21 and the third feeding trough 31 are not needed, the second component 20 and the third component 30 can be moved to a support position below the first component 10, thereby raising the first component 10 and avoiding the second component 20 and the third component 30 occupying too much space. When space occupation is not a concern, the height of the first component 10 can also be adjusted by switching the second component 20 and the third component 30 between the support position and the horizontal placement position.
[0039] Please see Figure 1When the second feeding trough 21 and the third feeding trough 31 need to be used, the second component 20 and the third component 30 are moved to a horizontal position placed side by side with the first component 10, so that the first component 10, the second component 20 and the third component 30 are placed side by side, and at this time the first feeding trough 11, the second feeding trough 21 and the third feeding trough 31 can all be used.
[0040] The movement of the second component 20 and the third component 30 relative to the first component 10 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, in some optional embodiments, the second component 20 and the third component 30 are both rotatably engaged with the first component 10, and the second component 20 and the third component 30 can both be rotated to a support position and a horizontal placement position relative to the first component 10.
[0041] It should be noted that the number of first feeding troughs 11 on the first component 10 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, the number of first feeding troughs 11 can be 1, 2, 4, 6 or 8, etc., without limitation. In addition, when there are multiple first feeding troughs 11, the first feeding troughs 11 can be arranged in a matrix or arranged sequentially along a straight line, without limitation.
[0042] It should be noted that the number of second feeding troughs 21 on the second component 20 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, the number of second feeding troughs 21 can be 1, 2, 4, 6 or 8, etc., without limitation. In addition, when there are multiple second feeding troughs 21, the second feeding troughs 21 can be arranged in a matrix or arranged sequentially along a straight line, without limitation.
[0043] It should be noted that the number of third feeding troughs 31 on the third component 30 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, the number of third feeding troughs 31 can be 1, 2, 4, 6 or 8, etc., without limitation. In addition, when there are multiple third feeding troughs 31, the third feeding troughs 31 can be arranged in a matrix or arranged sequentially along a straight line, without limitation.
[0044] Please see Figure 3In some optional embodiments, both the second component 20 and the third component 30 are provided with a plurality of sliding rails 22. The sides of each sliding rail 22 are provided with a plurality of first positioning parts 23, which are arranged sequentially along the guide direction of the sliding rail 22. The first positioning parts 23 are connected to the sliding rail 22. The first component 10 is provided with a sliding structure 12, which rotatably engages with the sliding rail 22 and can move along the sliding rail 22. The sliding structure 12 can be positioned and engaged with one of the first positioning parts 23. When the second component 20 and the third component 30 are in the support position, the sliding rail 22 extends vertically. The first component 10 can be raised and lowered along the sliding rail 22 via the sliding structure 12, and then positioned with one of the first positioning parts 23, thereby positioning the first component 10 at a suitable height and achieving height adjustment to accommodate pets of different sizes. When the second component 20 and the third component 30 are in the horizontal placement position, the sliding rail 22 extends horizontally.
[0045] Please see Figure 4 The specific structures of the sliding track 22 and the first positioning part 23 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, in some optional embodiments, the sliding track 22 is a groove, and the first positioning part 23 is a first positioning groove connected to one side of the groove. The sliding structure 12 can enter the first positioning groove from the groove to achieve positioning and engagement between the sliding structure 12 and the first positioning groove. When the second component 20 and the third component 30 rotate to the support position, the sliding structure 12 can move up and down along the sliding track 22. After the first component 10 is adjusted to a suitable position, the sliding structure 12 slides into the first positioning groove, thereby positioning the sliding structure 12 and thus positioning the height position of the first component 10.
[0046] In this embodiment, the sliding structure 12 is a threaded component. The threaded component passes through the sliding groove and then engages with the first component 10 by thread, thereby facilitating quick assembly and disassembly. Furthermore, the threaded component can also lock the second component 20 and the third component 30 onto the first component 10.
[0047] To improve the positioning stability of the sliding structure 12, in some optional embodiments, a limiting groove 24 is also provided in the first positioning groove. When the second component 20 and the third component 30 are in the support position, the limiting groove 24 is located at the bottom of the first positioning groove. The sliding structure 12 can extend into the limiting groove 24 so that the sliding structure 12 and the limiting groove 24 are in a limiting fit. The limiting groove 24 restricts the sliding structure 12 from moving relative to the first positioning groove. Moreover, since the limiting groove 24 is located at the bottom of the first positioning groove, the sliding structure 12 can be stably placed in the limiting groove 24 by the gravity of the first component 10, so that the sliding structure 12 is stably placed in the first positioning groove.
[0048] Please see Figure 1 , Figures 5 to 8 It should be noted that, in Figure 1 As shown, both the second and third components are in the unfolded position. In some optional embodiments, when the second component 20 and the third component 30 are in the horizontally placed position, both the second component 20 and the third component 30 can move away from the first component 10 to the unfolded position and towards the first component 10 to the folded position along the guide direction of the sliding track 22. When the second component 20 and the third component 30 move away from the first component 10 to the unfolded position, the first component 10, the second component 20, and the third component 30 are arranged side by side, and the first feeding trough 11, the second feeding trough 21, and the third feeding trough 31 can all be used. When the second component 20 and the third component 30 move towards the first component 10, they can be stacked together with part of the structure of the first component 10, thereby reducing the overall volume. At this time, the second feeding trough 21 and the third feeding trough 31 cannot be used, and only the first feeding trough 11 can be used.
[0049] In some optional embodiments, feeding containers 25 are detachably provided at both the second feeding slot 21 and the third feeding slot 31. When the second component 20 and the third component 30 are moved to the unfolded position, the feeding containers 25 are correspondingly fitted at the second feeding slot 21 and the third feeding slot 31. When the second component 20 and the third component 30 are moved to the folded position, the feeding containers 25 are detached from the second feeding slot 21 and the third feeding slot 31, thereby preventing the second feeding slot 21 and the third feeding slot from affecting the use of the first feeding slot 11. In this embodiment, the first feeding slot 11 is a feeding slot provided on the first component 10. The first component 10 has two first feeding slots 11. When the second component 20 and the third component 30 move to the folded position, the second feeding slot 21 and the third feeding slot communicate with the first feeding slot 11. Of course, in other embodiments, the first feeding slot 11 can also be arranged in a position that will not be obstructed by the second component 20 and the third component 30; this example is not limited. It should be noted that when the second component 20 and the third component 30 are in a horizontal position, their positions do not affect each other. That is, when the second component 20 moves to the folded position, the third component 30 can move to the unfolded position or the folded position, and the same applies when the second component 20 moves to the unfolded position.
[0050] In addition, when the second component 20 and the third component 30 are in the supported position, the feeding container 25 can be removed to avoid interference with the first component 10.
[0051] In some optional embodiments, a second positioning part 26 is provided on one side of the sliding track 22. When the second component 20 or the third component 30 moves to the folded position, the sliding structure 12 engages with the second positioning part 26 to stably position the second component 20 or the third component 30 in the folded position, thereby improving stability. Alternatively, in this embodiment, when the second component 20 or the third component 30 moves to the unfolded position, the sliding structure 12 can also engage with the first positioning part 23 to position the second component 20 or the third component 30 in the unfolded position.
[0052] In some optional embodiments, the second positioning part 26 is a second positioning groove connected to one side of the slide groove. When the second component 20 or the third component 30 moves to the folded position, the second positioning groove is located at the top of the sliding track 22. The sliding structure 12 can enter the second positioning groove from the slide groove to achieve positioning cooperation between the sliding structure 12 and the second positioning groove, thereby improving the positioning stability of the second component 20 or the third component 30. Furthermore, under the gravity of the second component 20 or the third component 30, the sliding structure 12 can stably enter and remain in the second positioning groove, making it difficult for the sliding structure 12 to detach from the second positioning groove.
[0053] In some optional embodiments, both the second component 20 and the third component 30 are provided with support portions 27. When the second component 20 and the third component 30 are in the supported position or the horizontal placement position, the support portions 27 can support the bottom of the second component 20 and the third component 30, thereby improving the stability of the second component 20 and the third component 30. It should be noted that when the second component 20 and the third component 30 are in the supported position or the horizontal placement position, the support portions 27 are supported in the placement position by different sides of the support portions 27.
[0054] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
