Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet supplies, and in particular to pet feeders. Background Technology

[0002] Existing pet feeders generally use an electric impeller to dispense food. Due to the limitations of the impeller dispensing method, they cannot accommodate large-sized pet food. At the same time, they cannot be fully washed with water. If water gets into the circuit board, it will be damaged. In addition, button or trigger operation cannot prevent pets from operating the feeder themselves.

[0003] Manual feeders require operating related mechanisms to dispense pet food. Traditional feeders have the food dispensing mechanism at the bottom, requiring the feeder to be lifted to dispense food. Such feeders are inconvenient to operate and make it difficult to design large-capacity food bins. In addition, due to factors such as gravity, feed channel slope, valves, and volume, it is difficult to control the flow rate of food when dispensing food in ordinary feeders. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention proposes a pet feeder that combines ease of operation with a large food bin design. It is fully washable, allows for precise control of the food dispensing amount, and prevents pets from operating it independently.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

Detailed Implementation

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this technical solution clearer, the following detailed description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, further illustrates this technical solution. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this technical solution.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this embodiment proposes a pet feeder. The bottom of the feeder is a food bowl 10, which has four supporting feet. The front of the food bowl 10 is a concave tray, and the rear of the food bowl 10 is a bucket body base 21, which serves as the mounting base for the bucket body 20. The bucket body 22 is mounted on the upper part of the bucket body base 21, and a food outlet 211 is provided at the front of the bucket body base 21 corresponding to the tray. When the bucket body 20 dispenses pet food, the pet food is dispensed through the food outlet 211 into the tray for the pet to consume.

[0038] In some feasible embodiments, the food bowl 10 can have a certain tilt angle, such as 5°-15° forward tilt, especially 8°, 9°, and 10°, to ensure smooth food dispensing and facilitate pet consumption. Another advantage of the tilt angle of the food bowl 10 is that there is less food accumulation in front of the compartment door, allowing the pet food to be distributed more evenly around the bowl.

[0039] An observation window 2211 is provided on the side of the main body 22 of the container to observe the remaining amount of pet food stored inside the container 20.

[0040] The top of the bucket body 20 has an open structure, and a top cover 30 is detachably installed on the top of the bucket body 20. At the very top of the top cover 30 is a rotating disk 311, which is rotatably mounted on top of the top cover 30. A rotatable handle 312 is embedded within the rotating disk 311. Specifically, the top of the bucket body 20 has a circular groove, in which the rotating disk 311 rests. The rotating disk 311 also has a strip-shaped groove, and the handle 312 is hinged to the side wall of the groove. When the handle 312 is flipped out, the handle 312 stands upright and does not coincide with the rotation center of the rotating disk 311. The user can hold the handle 312 to drive the rotating disk 311 to rotate.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, the upper cover 30 is mainly divided into a cover body 31 and an upper cover sealing plate 32. The rotating disk 311 and the handle 312 are both installed on the cover body 31. The upper cover sealing plate 32 can seal the structure and device below the upper cover sealing plate 32.

[0042] In the barrel body 20, the barrel body 22 includes a barrel body main structure 221, whose inner bottom wall is funnel-shaped. Multiple reinforcing ribs are provided on the back of the barrel body main structure 221. A drive shaft 41 is provided on the back of the barrel body main structure 221. A decorative plate 222 covers the back of the barrel body main structure 221 to cover the reinforcing ribs and drive shaft 41, making the shape more regular. After the barrel body main structure 221 and the decorative plate 222 are assembled, they can be inserted and installed into the barrel body base 21 as a whole.

[0043] The bottom of the barrel body 20 has a horizontally placed grain outlet pipe 2212, which has a built-in grain outlet device. One end of the grain outlet pipe 2212 is connected to the funnel-shaped gathering port at the bottom of the barrel body 20, and the other end of the grain outlet pipe 2212 is connected to the grain outlet 211.

[0044] like Figure 3As shown, the back and bottom of the main structural component 221 of the barrel body are provided with transmission components. Specifically, the transmission device is a vertically arranged drive shaft 41, which is rotatably connected to the back of the barrel body 20. The lower end of the drive shaft 41 is provided with a first sector gear 42. The grain dispensing device has a shaft-shaped center, and the rear end of the grain dispensing device has a second sector gear 43. The first sector gear 42 and the second sector gear 43 mesh. The upper end of the drive shaft 41 is poweredly connected to the manual drive component.

[0045] In this embodiment, the grain discharging device is specifically an auger assembly 44, and the grain discharging pipe 2212 is a split structure. Part of the outer wall of the grain discharging pipe 2212 is the lower part of the main body structure 221 of the barrel, which is easy to disassemble and convenient to install the auger assembly 44.

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, the upper cover 30 includes a cover plate body 31, and an upper cover sealing plate 32 is detachably installed below the cover plate body 31. The upper cover sealing plate 32 and the cover plate body 31, when combined, form an internal cavity structure for installing transmission components and spring clips 313. A rotating disk 311 is rotatably mounted on the top exposed surface of the cover plate body 31 via a shaft. The shaft passes through the cover plate body 31, and a drive gear 314 is installed at the lower end of the shaft. A handle 312 is installed at the non-rotational center of the top of the rotating disk 311. A bushing gear 316 is installed at the upper end of the shaft. The drive gear 314 and the bushing gear 316 are connected by two gears meshing sequentially to form a power transmission.

[0047] Preferably, a ratchet tooth component for controlling the unidirectional rotation of the gear can be provided at any gear in the transmission component, such as the drive gear 314 or the bushing gear 316, to prevent the transmission component from rotating in the opposite direction and to prevent damage to the transmission system caused by reverse rotation.

[0048] When the handle 312 is used to drive the rotating disc, the drive gear 314 drives the shaft 41 and gear 316 to rotate via the transmission gear set 315. Since the shaft and gear 316 are connected to the drive shaft 41, the drive shaft 41 can be driven to rotate, which in turn drives the auger assembly 44 to rotate through the meshing of the first sector gear 42 and the second sector gear 43. At this time, the pet food in the bucket 20 is discharged from the outlet 22121 through the food outlet pipe 22122.

[0049] To slow down or prevent the pet food inside the can 20 from getting damp and spoiling, the top cover sealing plate 32 has a downwardly recessed boss structure. A sealing ring 321 is provided around the boss structure. The top cover 30 is installed at the open top of the can 20 in a sealed manner through the sealing ring 321.

[0050] This pet feeder can also be modified in subsequent upgrades, by replacing the manual drive component in the top cover with an electric drive mechanism to achieve electric food dispensing. Furthermore, the electric food dispensing mechanism is compatible with control system equipment.
