[0016] 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.

[0017] Please see Figure 1-9 This utility model provides a technical solution: Pet feeders, including: Storage unit 2 includes a pet food separating component 21 for storing two types of pet food separately, and a discharge component 22 rotatably disposed at the bottom of the pet food separating component 21 for taking out the separately stored pet food into the feeding tray 215. The support unit 1 includes a housing 11, which is used to support and limit the pet food separating component 21 and the feeding component 22.

[0018] It should be noted that: different types of pet food are stored separately in the storage unit 2 by means of the pet food separator 21, and then the two types of pet food with different nutritional types are taken out separately by means of the feed dispensing component 22. The ratio of the two types of food can be randomly adjusted according to the feed dispensing component 22 to provide pets with mixed food with a free mixing ratio to meet the pets' nutritional needs.

[0019] As an improvement, such as Figure 2-4 As shown, the pet food divider component 21 includes: A pet food storage box 211 is installed inside the housing 11; The partition 212 is vertically connected to the inside of the pet food storage box 211 and is used to divide the pet food storage box 211 into two storage areas: a first storage compartment 2111 and a second storage compartment 2112. The bottom plate 214 is connected to the bottom of the pet food storage box 211, and a first discharge port 2141 is provided below the first storage compartment 2111, and a second discharge port 2142 is provided below the second storage compartment 2112. The lower end of the partition plate 212 is provided with a receiving groove 2121 for accommodating the upper end of the drive shaft 221.

[0020] Furthermore, such as Figure 5-8 As shown, the discharge assembly 22 includes: The drive shaft 221 is rotatably located at the center of the base plate 214; A material feeding block 222 is fixedly sleeved on the drive shaft 221. The material feeding block 222 is provided with a pair of fan-shaped notches, a first transfer groove 2221 and a second transfer groove 2222. The feeding chamber 225 is open at the top and has a guide groove 213 on its side to guide pet food into the feeding tray 215. The feeding block 222 is located inside the feeding chamber 225.

[0021] Furthermore, such as Figure 5-7 As shown, there is a gap between the feeding block 222 and the base plate 214; The lower end face of the base plate 214 has multiple sets of comb teeth 223 arranged radially thereon. The comb teeth 223 correspond to the radial sides of the first transfer groove 2221 and the second transfer groove 2222, and are used to clean the grain falling onto the upper end face of the feeding block 222 and cooperate with the feeding block 222 to block the first discharge port 2141 and the second discharge port 2142. The lower teeth of the comb teeth 223 are made of soft material.

[0022] In addition, the upper end of the drive shaft 221 passes through the base plate 214, and a stripping plate 224 is fixedly connected to its end; The peeling plate 224 is provided in two sets and is in contact with the upper surface of the bottom plate 214. It corresponds to the first discharge port 2141 and the second discharge port 2142 respectively, and is used to push pet food into the first discharge port 2141 and the second discharge port 2142.

[0023] As an improvement, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, the pet feeder also includes: Water tank 12 is disposed inside the shell 11 and located on one side of the pet food storage box 211; The base 14 is located at the lower end of the housing 11 and is used to support the housing 11; A water receiving tray 13 is located on a base 14 below the water outlet of the water tank 12 and is used to receive the water flowing out of the water tank 12.

[0024] Furthermore, the food tray 215 is located on the base 14, and a baffle is provided between the food tray 215 and the water receiving tray 13.

[0025] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 , Figure 9 As shown, the housing 11 includes a mounting cavity 111 with an open top; The pet food storage box 211 is provided with guide grooves 2113 on both sides; The bottom of the mounting cavity 111 is fixedly connected to a card holder 15 corresponding to the guide groove 2113, which is used to insert into the guide groove 2113 to install and position the pet food storage box 211.

[0026] It should be noted that: in the specific implementation process of this utility model, if... Figure 1-4 As shown, two different types of pet food are placed into the first storage compartment 2111 and the second storage compartment 2112 respectively, and the lid 216 is closed. At this time, the partition 212 separates the two different types of pet food. like Figure 2-5 As shown, when feeding is required, the stepper motor at the lower end of the drive shaft 221 is started. The stepper motor drives the drive shaft 221 to reciprocate in forward and reverse rotation. The drive shaft 221 drives the feeding block 222 to reciprocate in forward and reverse rotation. When the first transfer trough 2221 rotates to correspond to the first discharge port 2141, the peeling plate 224 pushes the pet food in the first storage bin 2111, so that the pet food passes through the first discharge port 2141 and fills the first transfer trough 2221. At this time, the second transfer trough 2222 transfers the pet food to the guide trough 213 for unloading. like Figure 2-5 As shown, when the second transfer trough 2222 rotates to correspond with the second discharge port 2142, the stripping plate 224 pushes the pet food in the second storage bin 2112, so that the pet food passes through the second discharge port 2142 and fills the second transfer trough 2222. At this time, the first transfer trough 2221 transfers the filled pet food to the guide trough 213 for unloading. This cycle is repeated multiple times. Different types of pet food in the guide trough 213 are mixed in a certain proportion and slide into the food dish 215 for collection and feeding of pets. This achieves the effect of maintaining a normal proportion of different types of pet food during discharge. like Figure 6-7 As shown, the start-up time of the stepper motor used to drive the drive shaft 221 to reciprocate forward and reverse is controlled by a timer to ensure that the stepper motor can be automatically turned on each time the pet needs to eat. In addition, the number of forward and reverse rotations of the stepper motor can be adjusted according to the amount of food the pet eats. like Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 8As shown, each time pet food is filled into the first transfer trough 2221 or the second transfer trough 2222, the drive shaft 221 synchronously drives the comb teeth 223 to clean up the food that falls from the top of the feeding block 222 in a timely manner, so as to prevent the food from accumulating on the feeding block 222 for too long and causing it to spoil. In addition, when the first discharge port 2141 or the second discharge port 2142 is not discharging food, the first discharge port 2141 or the second discharge port 2142 is facing the plane where the top of the feeding block 222 is located. At this time, the comb teeth 223 can relatively seal the gap between the feeding block 222 and the bottom plate 214, preventing air from entering the pet food storage box 211 and extending the freshness time of the pet food storage box 211. like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model has a water tray 13 placed on one side of the food dish 215. The water in the water tray 13 is supplied through the water tank 12 to ensure that the pet can drink water in time when it is thirsty during the eating process.
