Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeder technology, specifically a feeder that can be easily assembled in multiple ways. Background Technology
[0002] In pet ownership, feeders are common auxiliary tools. However, existing pet feeders have significant shortcomings in their structural design, making it difficult to meet diverse usage needs.
[0003] On the one hand, the height adjustment function is limited. Traditional feeders are mostly fixed structures with a single height support, which cannot adapt to the different eating habits of different pets (such as the different height requirements of puppies and adult pets for eating), and are also difficult to cope with different placement environments (such as uneven ground, scenarios where it is necessary to raise the feeder to prevent the pet from tipping it over, etc.), resulting in insufficient flexibility in use.
[0004] On the other hand, the detachable and assembleable design is not perfect. The component connection method of some feeders is complicated, making disassembly and cleaning inconvenient; and there is a lack of flexible and adaptable assembly logic between the various parts (such as the main body, food support structure, support components, etc.), making it impossible to quickly realize simple disassembly and assembly in various ways according to actual needs (such as temporarily increasing support stability or adjusting the overall height), making it difficult to balance convenience and functionality.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a feeder that can be highly adjustable and easily assembled in various ways, solving the problems of poor flexibility and limited assembly methods of existing products, and improving the pet-raising experience. Utility Model Content
[0006] To overcome the shortcomings mentioned above, this utility model aims to provide a technical solution that can solve the above problems.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the feeding component is provided with a feeding bone protruding from it, and the inner side of the feeding bone forms a feeding channel connecting the food outlet and the food bowl, wherein, The feeding bone position is provided with an inclined feeding guide on the side near the feed outlet, and the surface of the inclined feeding guide extends inclinedly to the feed outlet.
[0012] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the feeder body is provided with a drive mechanism, the drive mechanism including a drive source and a transmission component; The output end of the drive source is connected to the transmission component, and the end of the transmission component away from the drive source corresponds to the grain outlet, which is used to transport the grain in the feeder body to the feeding component.
[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the transmission assembly includes a motor rotor and a feed-distributing rotor that are linked in sequence. The motor rotor is connected to the output shaft of the drive source. The feed-distributing rotor is set corresponding to the grain outlet, and the feed-distributing rotor is provided with feed-distributing blades on its outer periphery.
[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the feeder body is provided with a grain storage cavity, the bottom of the grain storage cavity is provided with a grain guiding channel, and the outlet of the grain guiding channel forms the grain outlet; The feeding rotor is set in relation to the grain guiding channel. The motor rotor is connected between the drive source and the feeding rotor. The drive source drives the feeding rotor to rotate through the motor rotor. The feeding blades on its outer periphery push the grain in the grain storage chamber to the grain guiding channel and its outlet, and then flow into the food basin through the feeding channel of the feeding component.
[0015] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the transmission assembly further includes a three-lobe rotor, which is linked with the feeding rotor; The three-bladed rotor is located at the corresponding position of the grain inlet of the grain storage chamber. It has three guide blades on its outer periphery.

[0023] 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.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-9 In this embodiment of the utility model, a feeder that can be easily assembled in multiple ways is provided. Its overall structure includes a feeder body 1, a food dispensing component 3, at least two food bowls 4, a support foot 7, and a drive mechanism disposed inside the feeder body 1.
[0025] The feeder body 1 serves as the supporting foundation of the overall structure. A food outlet 2 is provided on one side wall for discharging the stored food. A food divider 3 is installed at the food outlet 2 via a detachable snap-fit structure. Specifically, the feeder body 1 has a first snap-fit groove 8 around the edge of the food outlet 2. The food divider 3 has a corresponding first snap-fit block 9 on its edge facing the food outlet 2, which matches the first snap-fit groove 8. During assembly, the first snap-fit block 9 is inserted into the first snap-fit groove 8, achieving a secure connection between the food divider 3 and the feeder body 1. During disassembly, force is applied in the opposite direction of the snap-fit to separate the food divider 3.
[0026] The side of the feed divider 3 furthest from the food outlet 2 is used to install the food bowl 4, and at least two food bowls 4 can be attached simultaneously to meet the needs of multiple pets eating at the same time. The connection between the feed divider 3 and the food bowl 4 also adopts a detachable snap-fit structure. The edge of the feed divider 3 furthest from the food outlet 2 is provided with a second snap-fit groove 10, and each food bowl 4 is provided with a matching second snap-fit block 11 on the edge facing the feed divider 3. Through the cooperation of the second snap-fit block 11 and the second snap-fit groove 10, the food bowl 4 can be quickly installed on or removed from the feed divider 3.
[0027] The upper surface of the feeding component 3 is provided with a feeding bone 14, which extends along the length of the feeding component 3, dividing the upper surface of the feeding component 3 into two feeding channels 15. One end of the feeding channel 15 is connected to the food outlet 2, and the other end corresponds to the entrance of the two food bowls 4 respectively, so that the grain discharged from the food outlet 2 can enter the corresponding food bowl 4 through the feeding channel 15. The feeding bone 14 is provided with an inclined grain guiding part 16 on the side near the food outlet 2. The surface of the inclined grain guiding part 16 is inclined, and its inclination direction is a small part extending from the edge of the food outlet 2 into the interior of the food outlet 2, so that the grain discharged from the food outlet 2 can slide into the feeding channel 15 along the surface of the inclined grain guiding part 16, avoiding the accumulation of grain at the junction of the feeding component 3 and the food outlet 2.
[0028] The feeder body 1 has a first slot 5 on its bottom surface. The number of first slots 5 can be set to one or more according to support requirements, and they are evenly distributed along the bottom edge of the feeder body 1. Each food bowl 4 also has a second slot 6 on its bottom surface, and the position of the second slot 6 is adapted to the structure of the first slot 5. The support foot 7 is detachably connected to the first slot 5 and / or the second slot 6. The specific assembly method can be selected according to the usage scenario: the support foot 7 is only assembled in the first slot 5, or only in the second slot 6, or both in the first slot 5 and the second slot 6. The support foot 7 adopts a plug-in adaptation structure with the first slot 5 and the second slot 6. The support foot 7 includes an integrally formed plug-in part 12 and a support part 13. The shape and size of the plug-in part 12 match the internal structure of the first slot 5 and the second slot 6. When the support foot 7 is assembled, the plug-in part 12 is inserted into the first slot 5 or the second slot 6, and the support part 13 contacts the placement surface, playing a role in supporting the overall structure.
[0029] The feeder body 1 has a grain storage chamber 20 and a drive mechanism inside. The grain storage chamber 20 is used to store grain, and its bottom has a grain guiding channel 21. The outlet of the grain guiding channel 21 is connected to the grain outlet 2, so that the grain in the grain storage chamber 20 can be transported to the grain outlet 2 through the grain guiding channel 21. The drive mechanism includes a drive source (such as a motor, not shown) and a transmission assembly. The drive source is fixedly installed inside the feeder body 1, and its output end is connected to the transmission assembly. The end of the transmission assembly away from the drive source extends to the grain guiding channel 21, corresponding to the position of the grain outlet 2, and is used to transport the grain in the grain storage chamber 20 towards the grain outlet 2.
[0030] The transmission assembly includes a motor rotor 17 (or other transmission components, as long as they can be connected to the feed distribution rotor 18 and the drive source at both ends respectively, and the connection method can be such as snap-fit), the feed distribution rotor 18, and a three-lobe rotor 22. One end of the motor rotor 17 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive source, and the other end is linked to the feed distribution rotor 18. The feed distribution rotor 18 is set at the inlet position of the grain guiding channel 21, and multiple feed distribution blades 19 are evenly distributed on its outer circumference. The length of the feed distribution blades 19 is adapted to the width of the grain guiding channel 21. When the drive source is started, its output shaft drives the motor rotor 17 to rotate. The motor rotor 17 further drives the feeding rotor 18 to rotate synchronously. The feeding blades 19 on the outer periphery of the feeding rotor 18 rotate with it, pushing the grain in the grain storage chamber 20 into the grain guiding channel 21 and pushing the grain along the grain guiding channel 21 towards the grain outlet 2. Finally, the grain is discharged from the grain outlet 2 and flows into each food basin 4 through the feeding channel 15 of the feeding component 3. When the drive source stops working or there is no need to discharge the grain, one of the feeding blades 19 of the feeding rotor 18 blocks the inlet of the grain guiding channel 21, thereby sealing the grain in the grain storage chamber 20 and achieving the effects of dust prevention and quality preservation.
[0031] The three-lobe rotor 22 is linked to the end of the feeding rotor 18 furthest from the motor rotor 17 (e.g., via a snap-fit mechanism). Its position corresponds to the grain inlet 24 of the grain storage chamber 20, which is the opening at the top (or inside, such as in two storage chambers 20) for adding grain. Three guide blades 23 are evenly distributed around the outer periphery of the three-lobe rotor 22. When the drive source drives the motor rotor 17 and the feeding rotor 18, the three-lobe rotor 22 rotates synchronously with the feeding rotor 18. During rotation, the guide blades 23 on its outer periphery push the grain added at the grain inlet 24 towards the inside of the grain storage chamber 20, preventing grain from accumulating and clogging at the grain inlet 24.
[0032] The feeder body 1 has a food-sweeping brush 25 extending to the food storage chamber 20 at its food inlet 24. The food-sweeping brush 25 is located between the dispensing blades 19 of the dispensing rotor 18 and the guiding blades 23 of the three-bladed rotor 22, which can be understood as being located in the area above the dispensing blades 19 of the dispensing rotor 18. When food enters the food storage chamber 20, there may be some accumulation. During the operation of the dispensing rotor 18 and the three-bladed rotor 22, the food-sweeping brush 25 can clean the food in this area above, preventing excessive accumulation of food. At the same time, it can make the distribution of food entering the effective range of the dispensing blades 19 and the guiding blades 23 more even, thereby ensuring that each portion of pet food dispensed is the same size, thus ensuring the accuracy of the food dispensing weight and preventing food jamming due to food accumulation. In other words, it achieves the goals of preventing food jamming due to food accumulation and ensuring the accuracy of the dispensing weight.
[0033] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The assembly method is flexible and diverse. Through the detachable plug-in connection between the support foot 7 and the first slot 5 and the second slot 6, the assembly position of the support foot 7 can be selected according to actual needs (only the first slot 5, only the second slot 6, or both can be assembled at the same time), so as to flexibly adjust the overall height and support stability of the feeder and adapt to different placement environments and pets' eating height requirements. The components are connected by a detachable snap-fit structure (the feeder body 1 and the food dispensing component 3 are connected by the first snap-fit groove 8 and the first snap-fit block 9, and the food dispensing component 3 and the food bowl 4 are connected by the second snap-fit groove 10 and the second snap-fit block 11), which facilitates quick disassembly and assembly, daily cleaning and maintenance, and convenient operation; The individual feeding bone 14 on the feeding component 3 divides into two feeding channels 15. Together with the inclined food guide 16, the food discharged from the food outlet 2 can be accurately directed to different food bowls 4, meeting the needs of multiple pets to eat at the same time and avoiding the accumulation of food at the connection point.
[0034] In the drive mechanism, the motor rotor 17, the feeding rotor 18 and the three-lobe rotor 22 of the transmission component work together. The feeding rotor 18 stably transports the grain in the grain storage chamber 20 to the grain outlet 2 through the feeding blades 19. The three-lobe rotor 22 avoids the accumulation and blockage of grain at the grain inlet 24 through the guiding blades 23, ensuring smooth grain transportation and improving feeding reliability. The overall structure is compact, and the functions of each component are clearly defined. Through reasonable structural coordination, it achieves functions such as diversified assembly, convenient maintenance, precise food distribution, and stable food delivery, which can effectively meet the diverse needs of pet owners.
[0035] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
