[0024] 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.

[0025] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a pet food feeder includes a feeder body 1; a food storage box 11 is installed inside the feeder body 1, and a discharge pipe 12 is installed at the bottom of the food storage box 11; a discharge port 13 is installed on one side of the feeder body 1; the discharge port 13 is installed at the end of the discharge pipe 12 away from the food storage box 11; a first servo motor 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer side of the food storage box 11; a feed pipe 15 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first servo motor 14; the feed pipe 15 is rotatably connected inside the food storage box 11; a conical plate 16 is fixedly connected to the inside of the feeder body 1 near the feed pipe 15; a conical plate 16 is located on the outer side of the feed pipe 15; a food bowl body 17 is slidably connected to the bottom of the inner side of the feeder body 1; dog food is put in to feed the pet during operation. Inside the food storage box 11 of the main body 1, when feeding is needed, pull the food bowl body 17 to align it with the discharge port 13, and then drive the first servo motor 14 to drive the feed tube 15 to start rotating. At this time, the feed tube 15 will transport the dog food to the bottom of the conical plate 16. The amount of food delivered depends on the number of rotations of the feed tube 15. Then it falls into the discharge tube 12 and enters the food bowl body 17 through the discharge port 13 to complete the feeding. When feeding pets, due to different growth stages, they may be fed too much or too little at one time, resulting in overeating or hunger. Therefore, by rotating the feed tube 15, the amount of food fed each time can be precisely controlled, which greatly reduces the possibility of overeating or hunger in pets.

[0026] like Figure 2 , Figure 5As shown, a rotating shaft 2 is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer side of the conveying pipe 15; a connecting rod 21 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating shaft 2; a spring striking block 22 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 21 away from the rotating shaft 2; a vibrating block 23 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the conical plate 16 near the rotating shaft 2. During operation, when the conveying pipe 15 transports dog food into the discharge pipe 12 by rotation, the rotating shaft 2 starts to rotate along with the conveying pipe 15. The connecting rod 21 drives the spring striking block 22 to rotate, continuously striking the vibrating block 23 at the bottom of the conical plate 16 to vibrate. During the transportation of dog food by the conveying pipe 15, there may be air pockets, resulting in uneven and unstable delivery dosage, which may lead to less food being discharged at one time. Therefore, the vibration generated by the spring striking block 22 striking the vibrating block 23 greatly reduces the occurrence of air pockets in the dog food pile and increases the stability of dog food transportation.

[0027] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a third servo motor 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the feeder body 1; a semi-threaded groove 31 is opened on the bottom of the outer side of the food bowl body 17; a threaded rod 32 is fixedly connected to the output end of the third servo motor 3; the threaded rod 32 is threadedly connected inside the semi-threaded groove 31; when it is necessary to pull the food bowl body 17 out of the feeder body 1 during operation, the third servo motor 3 is driven to start rotating, and the semi-threaded groove 31 and the threaded rod 32 cooperate to push the food bowl body 17 out. After feeding, the threaded rod 32 is reversed to retract the food bowl body 17. When it is necessary to feed the pet, some pets may learn to pull the food bowl body 17 by themselves, causing the food bowl body 17 to be exposed to the outside, which may cause contamination. Therefore, the semi-threaded groove 31 and the threaded rod 32 perform automatic pushing and pulling while also limiting the movement, reducing the possibility of the food bowl body 17 being contaminated by the pet pulling it out by itself.

[0028] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a dehumidifier body 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the feeder body 1; an air exchange pipe 41 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the feeder body 1 near the dehumidifier body 4; an air exchange pipe 41 is installed at the output end of the dehumidifier body 4; when dog food is placed inside the food storage box 11, the dehumidifier body 4 and the air exchange pipe 41 are activated to start working, drawing air from inside the feeder body 1 into the dehumidifier body 4 and then back into the feeder body 1. The dehumidifier body 4 dehumidifies the air. During the storage of dog food, the dog food may become damp and spoil, resulting in waste of resources. Therefore, by dehumidifying the air inside the feeder body 1 through the dehumidifier body 4, the speed at which the dog food becomes damp is slowed down, reducing the waste rate of resources.

[0029] like Figure 1-3As shown, a groove 5 is provided on the inner side of the feeder body 1 near the bottom of the feeding bowl body 17; a rotating wheel 51 is installed inside the feeder body 1; the rotating wheel 51 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the feeding bowl body 17; during operation, when the threaded rod 32 pushes the feeding bowl body 17 to slide, the feeding bowl body 17 presses against the rotating wheel 51 inside the groove 5. When the feeding bowl body 17 slides, the rotating wheel 51 starts to roll. When the feeding bowl body 17 is removed, the friction is large due to the wide contact surface between the feeding bowl body 17 and the feeder body 1, resulting in faster wear. Therefore, the sliding of the rotating wheel 51 reduces the friction and increases the service life of the device.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, buffer springs 6 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the feeder body 1 near both sides of the food bowl body 17. When the food bowl body 17 is pulled out during operation, the food bowl body 17 will squeeze the buffer springs 6. When the food bowl body 17 is pulled out, the buffer springs 6 reduce the damage that may be caused by the direct collision between the food bowl body 17 and the feeder body 1.

[0031] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a baffle plate 7 is installed on the outer side near the discharge port 13. During operation, when the dog food is about to fall into the food bowl body 17 through the discharge port 13, the baffle plate 7 will block the top of the dog food. If the dog food is discharged directly through the discharge port 13, it may splash out of the food bowl body 17 due to the large impact force of the fall. Therefore, the baffle plate 7 is used to block the fall, reduce the impact force, and reduce the possibility of splashing out of the food bowl body 17.

[0032] Working principle: Dog food is placed into the food storage box 11 inside the feeder body 1. When feeding is needed, the food bowl body 17 is pulled to align with the dispensing port 13. Then, the first servo motor 14 is driven to rotate the feeding tube 15. At this time, the feeding tube 15 will transport the dog food to the bottom of the conical plate 16. The amount delivered depends on the number of rotations of the feeding tube 15. The food then falls into the discharge tube 12 and then enters the food bowl body 17 through the dispensing port 13, completing the feeding. When feeding pets, due to different growth stages, they may be fed too much or too little at one time, leading to overeating or hunger. Therefore, by rotating the feeding tube 15, the amount of food fed each time is precisely controlled, greatly reducing the possibility of overeating. In cases of food shortage or hunger, when the feed pipe 15 rotates to transport dog food into the discharge pipe 12, the rotating shaft 2 begins to rotate along with the feed pipe 15. The connecting rod 21 drives the spring striking block 22 to rotate, continuously striking the vibrating block 23 at the bottom of the conical plate 16 to vibrate. During the transportation of dog food through the feed pipe 15, there may be air pockets, resulting in uneven and unstable delivery, which may lead to less food being dispensed at one time. Therefore, the vibration generated by the spring striking block 22 striking the vibrating block 23 greatly reduces the occurrence of air pockets in the dog food pile and increases the stability of dog food delivery. When it is necessary to pull the food bowl body 17 out of the feeder body 1, the third servo motor 3 is driven to start rotating. The semi-threaded groove 31 and the threaded rod 32 cooperate with each other to pull the food bowl body 17 out. After feeding, the threaded rod 32 is reversed to retract the food bowl body 17. When feeding, some pets may learn to pull the food bowl body 17 themselves, potentially exposing it to the outside and causing contamination. Therefore, the semi-threaded groove 31 and threaded rod 32 provide automatic pushing and pulling while also limiting movement, reducing the possibility of pets pulling the food bowl body 17 out and contaminating it. When dog food is placed inside the storage box 11, the dehumidifier body 4 and ventilation pipe 41 start working, drawing air from inside the feeder body 1 into the dehumidifier body 4 before returning it to the feeder body 1. The dehumidifier body 4 dehumidifies the air, preventing moisture buildup during dog food storage. Dog food spoils due to moisture, resulting in resource waste. Therefore, the dehumidifier body 4 dehumidifies the air inside the feeder body 1, slowing down the rate of moisture absorption and reducing waste. When the threaded rod 32 pushes the food bowl body 17 to slide, the food bowl body 17 presses against the rotating wheel 51 inside the slide groove 5. As the food bowl body 17 slides, the rotating wheel 51 begins to roll. When removing the food bowl body 17, the large contact area between the food bowl body 17 and the feeder body 1 results in high friction and rapid wear. The sliding of the rotating wheel 51 reduces friction and increases the lifespan of the device. When pulling the food bowl body 17 out, it compresses the buffer spring 6.The buffer spring 6 reduces the potential damage from direct collisions between the food bowl body 17 and the feeder body 1. As the dog food is about to fall into the food bowl body 17 through the outlet 13, the baffle plate 7 blocks the top of the dog food. If the dog food were to exit directly through the outlet 13, the impact force might be too great, causing it to splash out of the food bowl body 17. Therefore, the baffle plate 7 reduces the impact force and the possibility of splashing out of the food bowl body 17.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
