A food dispensing chamber 10a is formed within the base 10, and a first dispensing blade 11 is disposed within the food dispensing chamber 10a for dispensing pet food. The base 10 has a food outlet 10b communicating with the food dispensing chamber 10a, and the first dispensing blade 11 is used to dispense pet food from the food dispensing chamber 10a to the food outlet 10b. The food storage container 20 is detachably installed on the base 10, and the food storage container 20 and the food dispensing chamber 10a are connected. The food storage cover assembly 30 is detachably disposed at the opening. One end of the transmission column 40 is detachably connected to the food storage cover assembly 30, and the other end extends from the food storage cover towards one side of the base 10. The grain storage cover assembly 30 includes a housing 31, a control board 32, a drive component 33, and a transmission assembly 34, all of which are located inside the housing 31. The control board 32 is electrically connected to the drive component 33, and the drive component 33 is connected to the transmission column 40 via the transmission assembly 34. The first grain feed piece 11 is also connected to the transmission column 40.

[0033] Specifically, the pet feeder 1 of this application is used to automatically provide pet food to pets. It includes a food storage cover assembly 30, a food storage cylinder 20, and a base 10 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The food storage cylinder 20 is detachably mounted on the base 10 and is a cavity with an opening at the top, which is used to store pet food. The food storage cover is detachably placed over the opening of the food storage cylinder 20 to close it. A food dispensing compartment 10a is formed inside the base 10 and is connected to the food storage cylinder 20 to receive pet food flowing out of the food storage cylinder 20. A first food dispensing plate 11 is provided inside the food dispensing compartment 10a, and the first food dispensing plate 11 is rotatably mounted. The base 10 has a food outlet 10b, which is connected to the food dispensing bin 10a. The first food dispensing plate 11 rotates to dispense pet food from the food dispensing bin 10a to the food outlet 10b, and then delivers it to the outside for the pet to use. The pet feeder 1 of this application also includes a transmission column 40 that is tractively connected to the first food dispensing plate 11. The transmission column 40 is disposed inside the food storage cylinder 20, and the upper end of the transmission column 40 is detachably connected to the food storage cover assembly 30. The transmission column 40 extends from the food storage cover assembly 30 toward the base 10.

[0034] The food storage cover assembly 30 includes a housing 31, a control board 32, a drive component 33, and a transmission assembly 34. The control board 32 is electrically connected to the drive component 33 and is used to control the start and stop of the drive component 33. The transmission assembly 34 is connected to the upper end of the transmission column 40 and the drive component 33. The drive component 33 can be a motor. The control board 32 controls the motor to start, thereby driving the transmission assembly 34 to move, which in turn drives the transmission column 40 to rotate. The transmission column 40 is connected to the first food feed plate 11. Therefore, the first food feed plate 11 rotates under the drive of the transmission column 40, thereby moving the pet food in the first food bin 10a to the food outlet 10b for delivery to the outside.

[0035] This application integrates a control board 32, a drive unit 33, and a transmission assembly 34 within the housing 31 of the food storage lid. This means that the electrically powered components and most of the transmission parts are positioned above the entire pet feeder 1. Furthermore, the food storage lid is removable, and the food container 20 can be detached from the base 10. This facilitates cleaning and maintenance for the user, reducing the complexity of the cleaning process and ensuring hygiene within the pet feeder 1, thus protecting the pet's health. Moreover, by integrating the electrically powered components and most of the transmission parts with the food storage lid, the overall structure of the pet feeder 1 is simplified, facilitating assembly during manufacturing and disassembly and assembly for user cleaning and maintenance.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 5-8As shown, in an optional embodiment, the housing 31 includes a cover 311 and a lower housing 312, forming a receiving space between the cover 311 and the lower housing 312 to accommodate the control plate 32, the drive member 33, and the transmission assembly 34. A rotating ring 313 is disposed at the center of the lower housing 312. The inner wall of the rotating ring 313 has multiple engaging grooves 3131. The upper end of the transmission column 40 has engaging ribs 41 adapted to the engaging grooves 3131. The inner diameter of the rotating ring 313 is adapted to the outer diameter of the transmission column 40. The upper end of the transmission column 40 is inserted into the rotating ring 313, and the engaging ribs 41 are inserted into the engaging grooves 3131, thereby enabling a transmission connection between the transmission column 40 and the rotating ring 313. The outer wall of the rotating ring 313 has a ring of teeth 3132. The transmission assembly 34 includes a drive gear 341 and a transmission gear 342. The drive gear 341 is mounted on the shaft of the drive member 33, and the transmission gear 342 meshes with the drive gear 341 and the teeth on the rotating ring 313. In this embodiment, the rotation of the motor drives the drive gear 341 and the transmission gear 342 to rotate, the transmission gear 342 drives the rotating ring 313 to rotate, the rotating ring 313 drives the transmission column 40 to rotate, and in turn drives the first grain feeder 11 to rotate. In some optional embodiments, to facilitate the assembly between the transmission column 40 and the rotating ring 313, the slot 3131 gradually increases in size towards the transmission column 40.

[0037] In an optional embodiment, the grain storage cover assembly 30 further includes a plurality of resilient snap fasteners 35, and the grain storage cylinder 20 has a plurality of engaging grooves 20c adapted to the resilient snap fasteners 35, the resilient snap fasteners 35 being engaged in the engaging grooves 20c.

[0038] Specifically, the elastic buckle assembly 35 includes an elastic element 351 and a buckle element 352. One end of the elastic element 351 abuts against the cover 311, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the buckle element 352. The buckle element 352 includes an integrally formed main body 3521, an extension 3522, and a buckle portion 3523. One end of the extension 3522 is connected to the main body 3521, and the other end extends into the grain storage hopper 20. The buckle portion 3523 is disposed at the lower end of the extension 3522 and engages with the engagement groove 20c of the grain storage hopper 20. The cover 311 has a sliding rail groove 3111 for the buckle element 352 to slide. The main body 3521 is slidably disposed in the sliding rail groove 3111 and extends out of the cover 311 for the user to press from the outside. When in use, the user presses the main body 3521 to press the buckle 352 into the slide rail groove 3111, so that the buckle 3523 is removed from the engagement groove 20c. At this time, the user can directly remove the entire grain storage cover assembly 30 from the top of the grain storage cylinder 20.

[0039] In an optional embodiment, a sliding buckle 15 is provided between the base 10 and the grain storage cylinder 20. The base 10 has a sliding hole 10d, and the sliding buckle 15 is slidably disposed in the sliding hole 10d. The grain storage cylinder 20 has a fastening groove 24, and the sliding buckle 15 slides in the sliding hole 10d to slide into and out of the fastening groove 24, thereby locking and unlocking the base 10 and the grain storage cylinder 20, so as to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the base 10 and the grain storage cylinder 20.

[0040] In an optional embodiment, the base 10 includes a bottom shell 12 and an upper shell 13. The upper shell 13 includes a horn portion 131 and an annular portion 132. One end of the annular portion 132 is connected to the small opening side of the horn portion 131, and the other end abuts against the bottom shell 12.

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the base 10 of the pet feeder 1 includes a bottom shell 12 and an upper shell 13 assembled together. The upper shell 13 is mounted on the bottom shell 12 to form a recessed structure, facilitating the installation of the food container 20. The upper shell 13 includes an integrally formed flared portion 131 and an annular portion 132. The larger opening of the flared portion 131 faces upward, and the smaller opening faces downward. The upper end of the annular portion 132 is connected to the lower end of the flared portion 131, and the lower end of the annular portion 132 abuts against the bottom shell 12, forming a cylindrical cavity on the bottom shell 12. The food dispenser 10a is located within the cylindrical cavity. Understandably, the structure of the lower end of the food container 20 is adapted to the shape of the flared portion 131 to facilitate its adaptation to the upper shell 13 of the base 10 and to facilitate the dispensing of pet food from the food container 20 into the food dispenser 10a below it.

[0042] In an optional embodiment, the pet feeder 1 further includes a rotating cover 50 disposed within the annular portion 132, the rotating cover 50 forming a food dispensing chamber 10a between the annular portion 132 and the bottom shell 12; the rotating cover 50 is connected to the transmission column 40, and the first food dispensing plate 11 is mounted on the rotating cover 50.

[0043] Specifically, a rotating cover 50 is provided inside the annular portion 132, and the outer diameter of the rotating cover 50 is adapted to the inner diameter of the annular portion 132. The rotating cover 50 is connected to the transmission column 40, and the first feed dispensing plate 11 is installed on the rotating cover 50. A feed dispensing chamber 10a is formed between the rotating cover 50, the annular portion 132, and the bottom shell 12, and the first feed dispensing plate 11 is located inside the feed dispensing chamber 10a. The first feed dispensing plate 11 moves synchronously with the rotating cover 50, that is, when the transmission column 40 rotates, it can drive the rotating cover 50 and the feed dispensing plate to rotate synchronously, so as to dispense the pet food in the feed dispensing chamber 10a to the feed outlet 10b. This application forms a relatively closed feed dispensing chamber 10a through the cooperation between the rotating cover 50, the annular portion 132, and the bottom shell 12. The rotating cover 50 is connected to the transmission column 40. When the motor drives the transmission column 40 to rotate, the rotating cover 50 rotates accordingly, thereby driving the first feed dispensing plate 11 installed on the rotating cover 50 to perform the feed dispensing action. This design makes the food dispensing process more even and efficient, ensuring that pets can receive food at regular intervals and in measured amounts. Furthermore, the cooperation between the rotating cover 50 and the ring portion 132 makes the entire base 10 structure more compact, effectively saving space. This is especially important for small pet feeders 1, helping to meet the user's need to install and use the device in limited spaces. The cooperation between the rotating cover 50, the ring portion 132, and the bottom shell 12 also ensures the stability of the entire base 10 structure.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, the pet feeder 1 further includes a connecting post 60, which is coaxially arranged with the transmission post 40, and one end of the connecting post 60 is connected to the transmission shaft and the other end is connected to the rotating cover 50.

[0045] Specifically, this application also provides a connecting column 60 between the transmission column 40 and the rotating cover 50. The connecting column 60 is coaxially arranged with the transmission column 40, ensuring the linearity and efficiency of power transmission. This design reduces energy loss during transmission and improves the accuracy and response speed of the grain-feeding action. The coaxial arrangement of the connecting column 60 and the transmission column 40 enhances the rigidity of the entire transmission system, making the equipment more stable and reliable during operation. The upper end of the connecting column 60 is connected to the lower end of the transmission column 40, which can be achieved through a slot structure. A third grain-feeding plate 25 is provided between the connecting column 60 and the transmission column 40. The third grain-feeding plate 25 includes a central column and an extension arm connected to the central column. The central column is located inside the connecting column 60 and the transmission column 40, and the extension arm extends out from the connecting column 60 and the transmission column 40. Both the connecting column 60 and the transmission column 40 have slots to accommodate part of the extension arm. The upper end of the extension arm is located in the slot on the connecting column 60, and the lower end of the extension arm is located in the slot on the transmission column 40. Therefore, when the drive column 40 rotates, it drives the third feed plate 25 to rotate, the third feed plate 25 drives the connecting column 60 to rotate, and the connecting column 60 then drives the rotating cover 50 and the first feed plate 11 below it to rotate. The third feed plate 25 is located near the bottom wall 20b of the food storage container 20, so it can move the pet food near the bottom wall of the food storage container 20.

[0046] In an optional embodiment, the food storage hopper 20, the rotating cover 50, and the annular portion 132 form a food leakage chamber 10c. The bottom wall 20b of the food storage hopper has a first leakage port 20a for the pet food inside the food storage hopper 20 to leak into the food leakage chamber 10c. The rotating cover 50 has a second leakage port 50a communicating with the food leakage chamber 10a. The bottom wall 20b of the food storage hopper protrudes towards the rotating cover 50 with two spaced-apart annular walls 21, and a second food-dispensing plate 22 is provided on the annular walls 21.

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, a food leakage bin 10c is also provided above the food dispensing bin 10a. The food leakage bin 10c is formed by the bottom wall 20b of the food storage cylinder, a rotating cover 50, and an annular portion 132. The bottom wall 20b of the food storage cylinder has a first food leakage port 20a, which is used to allow pet food in the food storage cylinder 20 to leak out into the food leakage bin 10c. The rotating cover 50 has a second food leakage port 50a that communicates with the food dispensing bin 10a. The second food leakage port 50a is located on the bottom wall of the bottom shell 12 of the base 10. When using this device, the driving member 33 drives the transmission column 40 to rotate, and the transmission column 40 drives the third food dispensing plate 25 in the food storage cylinder 20 to rotate, so as to dispense the pet food in the food storage cylinder 20, so that the pet food leaks through the first food leakage port 20a into the food leakage bin 10c. The rotation of the drive column 40 also drives the rotating cover 50 to rotate. Two spaced annular walls 21 protrude from the bottom wall b20 of the food storage hopper toward the rotating cover 50. A second food-dispensing plate 22 is provided on the annular wall 21. The second food-dispensing plate 22 extends from the annular wall 21 toward the annular portion 132, that is, the second food-dispensing plate 22 is located inside the food leakage bin 10c. When the rotating cover 50 rotates relative to the second food-dispensing plate 22, the second food-dispensing plate 22 will dispense the pet food in the food leakage bin 10c. The rotating cover 50 serves as the boundary between the dispensing bin 10a and the food leakage bin 10c. Therefore, the pet food in the food leakage bin 10c can leak through the second food leakage port 50a provided on the rotating cover 50 into the dispensing bin 10a, and then be dispensed to the outlet 10b by the first food-dispensing plate 11 to be sent to the outside.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first food discharge port 20a and the second food discharge port 50a are staggered. For example, the number of first food discharge ports 20a is set to one. The number of second food discharge ports 50a is set to three, and the three second food discharge ports 50a are evenly arranged around the central axis of the food storage hopper 20. The first food discharge ports 20a and the second food discharge ports 50a are staggered, that is, the pet food first leaks from the first food discharge port 20a onto the rotating cover 50. Then the rotating cover 50 rotates, thereby causing relative rotation between it and the stationary second food feeding plate 22. This causes the second food feeding plate 22 to move the pet food, and then the pet food leaks from the second food discharge port 50a on the rotating cover 50 into the feeding bin 10a. By staggering the first food discharge ports 20a and the second food discharge ports 50a, this application not only optimizes the pet food outflow and distribution process, but also significantly improves the feeding accuracy and efficiency of the equipment. The second food outlets 50a are evenly arranged around the central axis of the food storage cylinder 20. This design ensures that the pet food is evenly distributed on the rotating cover 50 during the outflow process, avoiding local accumulation or loss of food.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 9As shown, in an optional embodiment, the rotating cover 50 includes a top plate 51 and a mounting platform 52 protruding from the top plate 51 toward the bottom shell 12. The mounting platform 52 has a plurality of mounting slots 521 for mounting the first grain feeder 11.

[0050] Specifically, the rotating cover 50 includes a top plate 51 and a mounting platform 52. The top plate 51 is a circular plate structure, and the mounting platform 52 is located in the middle of the top plate 51. The mounting platform 52 protrudes from the top plate 51 towards the bottom shell 12 and is located inside the food dispensing compartment 10a. The mounting platform 52 has multiple mounting slots 521, and there are multiple first food dispensing pieces 11. Each of the multiple first food dispensing pieces 11 is installed in one of the multiple mounting slots 521, or the multiple first food dispensing pieces 11 can be connected as a whole and installed as a whole in the mounting body. Since the first food dispensing pieces 11 are located inside the food dispensing compartment 10a, when the first food dispensing pieces 11 rotate inside the food dispensing compartment 10a, they can dispense the pet food in the food dispensing compartment 10a to the food outlet 10b. In some optional embodiments, the first food dispensing piece 11 and the third food dispensing piece 25 are both made of rubber. Because of the flexibility of the rubber material, the first and third food feeders 11 and 25 can better adapt to the shape and size of the food when feeding pet food, reducing the risk of getting stuck or blocked. This design helps to ensure the smooth feeding process and avoid equipment failure.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 3 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the rotating cover 50 further includes a first protruding annular wall 53 protruding from the top plate 51 toward the grain storage cylinder 20; a second protruding annular wall 23 protruding from the bottom wall 20b of the grain storage cylinder toward the first protruding annular wall 53; a first grain leakage port 20a is located inside the second protruding annular wall 23; and a second grain leakage port 50a is located inside the first protruding annular wall 53.

[0052] Specifically, the rotating cover 50 also includes a first protruding annular wall 53, which protrudes upward from the top plate 51. A second protruding annular wall 23 is integrally provided on the bottom wall 20b of the food storage hopper, which protrudes downward from the bottom wall. The first protruding annular wall 53 and the second protruding annular wall 23 are arranged opposite to each other. Therefore, the first protruding annular wall 53 and the second protruding annular wall 23 become the circumferential sidewalls (i.e., circumferential boundaries) of the food leakage bin 10c. The first food leakage port 20a and the second food leakage port 50a are both located inside the second protruding annular wall 23 and the first protruding annular wall 53, which can prevent pet food from getting stuck on the edge of the rotating cover 50. Since the rotating cover 50 is a rotating component, there is a very small gap between the rotating cover 50 and the annular portion 132. By providing the first protruding annular wall 53 and the second protruding annular wall 23, pet food is prevented from falling onto the edge of the rotating cover 50, thus avoiding equipment malfunction caused by the pet food being squeezed or stuck in the gap. Furthermore, providing the first protruding annular wall 53 and the second protruding annular wall 23 also increases the structural strength of the rotating cover 50 and the food storage container 20, thereby extending the service life of the equipment.

[0053] like Figure 2 and Figure 1 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the base 10 further includes a plurality of legs 14 detachably mounted on the bottom shell 12; the pet feeder 1 also includes a food bowl 70 disposed below the food outlet 10b, the food bowl 70 being detachably connected to the legs 14.

[0054] Specifically, this application also provides multiple support legs 14 below the base shell 12, which are detachably mounted on the base shell 12. This design facilitates the handling and storage of the equipment. During packaging, the support legs 14 can be removed and placed inside the food storage container 20, saving space and significantly reducing the volume of the packaging box, thereby reducing packaging and transportation costs. More importantly, when cleaning the base 10 and the food bowl 70 is required, the user can easily remove the support legs 14 for more thorough cleaning. The food bowl 70 is located below the food outlet 10b and is used to receive the pets flowing out of the outlet 10b. The upper end of the support leg 14 includes a flexible arm 141 with positioning protrusions 1411. The base shell 12 has an insertion slot 121 that fits the flexible arm 141, allowing the user to easily insert and remove the support leg 14 during assembly. The food bowl 70 has a sliding groove 71, and the support legs 14 have locking walls 142 at the positions where they mate with the sliding groove 71. During installation, simply thread the two sliding grooves 71 on the food bowl 70 onto the locking walls 142 on the two support legs 14 to position the food bowl 70, preventing it from shifting during pet use. This application employs a simple structure, and both the food bowl 70 and the support legs 14 are easily detachable, significantly reducing the size of the packaging box and saving on packaging and transportation costs.

[0055] Please refer to Figures 3-5 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the pet feeder 1 further includes a locking button 90 and a locking block 80 connected to each other; the middle of the top plate 51 is recessed downward to form a groove 511, the lower end of the connecting post 60 is inserted into the groove 511, the locking block 80 is engaged with the lower end of the connecting post 60, and the locking button 90 is inserted from the outside of the groove 511 and locked to the locking block 80 to connect the rotating cover 50 to the connecting post 60.

[0056] Specifically, the top plate 51 of the rotating cover 50 is recessed downwards to form a groove 511, and the lower end of the connecting post 60 is inserted into the groove 511. The pet feeder 1 also includes a locking block 80 and a locking button 90. The locking block 80 is engaged with the lower end of the connecting post 60, and the locking button 90 is a small, manually rotatable component, typically shaped for easy rotation. Its main function is to be inserted from the outside into the groove 511 to lock onto the locking block 80, thereby achieving a secure connection of the rotating cover 50. The lower end of the connecting post 60 is not a complete circle, and the shape of the groove 511 on the rotating cover 50 matches the shape of the lower end of the connecting post 60, thus enabling a transmission connection between the connecting post 60 and the rotating cover 50, allowing the connecting post 60 to drive the rotating cover 50 to rotate. The lower end of the connecting post 60 has a receiving groove 61, and the side wall of the receiving groove 61 has an opening 62. The locking block 80 is disposed in the receiving groove 61. The locking block 80 is placed in the receiving groove 61, and then the locking block 80 is rotated so that one end of the locking block 80 is inserted into the opening 62 to position the locking block 80. Then, the locking button 90 is inserted from the outside of the rotating cover 50 and the locking button 90 is rotated so that the locking button 90 is connected to the locking block 80 to fix the rotating cover 50 and the connecting post 60.

[0057] Understandably, the pet feeder 1 of this application is easy to disassemble and assemble. The disassembly process is as follows: The user removes the food storage cover assembly 30 from the top of the food storage container 20, then pulls the drive column 40 from the connecting column 60, and removes the third feed plate 25. The food storage container 20 is then removed (at this time, the second feed plate 22 can be removed). The connecting column 60, the rotating disc, and the first feed plate 11 are then removed from the base 10. The first feed plate 11 can then be disassembled separately, and the locking knob 90 is rotated to separate the rotating disc from the connecting column 60. At this point, the user can individually clean all parts except the internal components of the food storage cover assembly 30. Furthermore, the food bowl 70 can be disassembled separately. This application ensures complete cleaning, prevents the accumulation of dirt inside, ensures that the pet food is not contaminated, and thus protects the pet's health.
