Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet feeder technology, and in particular to a pet feeder with expandable food storage capacity. Background Technology

[0002] Pet feeders are used to feed pets at set times and in measured amounts. Pet feeders use food storage bins to store pet food.

[0003] Existing pet feeders require controlled food container size for ease of transport and packaging, thus limiting the overall volume of the feeder. This limited food container capacity necessitates frequent opening of the top lid to add pet food, making it inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a pet feeder with an expandable food storage capacity to solve the problem of poor user experience caused by the limited food storage capacity of existing pet feeders, which requires frequent food refills.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: an expandable pet feeder with a grain storage capacity, comprising:

[0006] The pet feeder body includes a feeder base, a food container and a lid. The food container is detachably mounted on the feeder base. A first latch is provided on one of the opposite side walls at the top opening of the food container. A first latch is provided on the lid, which is positioned to correspond to the first latch.

[0007] An extension frame has a second buckle plate on one of its opposite side walls at the bottom. The second buckle plate is used to fasten with the first buckle groove. A second buckle groove is provided on one of its opposite side walls at the top opening of the extension frame. The position of the second buckle groove corresponds to the second buckle plate.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] Symmetrically arranged baffles are provided on one opposite side wall at the bottom of the expansion frame. The baffles extend into the grain hopper and contact the inner wall of the grain hopper.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The height of the retaining edge is equal to the height of the second snap-on panel.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] A third buckle is installed on one side of the food hopper, and the third buckle is inserted into the base of the feeder.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The cross-sectional area of ​​the grain bin gradually decreases from top to bottom, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the expansion frame is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the bottom of the grain bin.

[0016] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. In this utility model, when the pet feeder body stores pet food in a food bin, an expansion frame can be set between the food bin and the lid. The bottom of the expansion frame is fastened to the food bin, and the top is fastened to the lid, thereby expanding the food storage capacity and effectively reducing the frequency of food replenishment, thus improving ease of use. Furthermore, the number of expansion frames between the food bin and the lid can be stacked and spliced ​​according to the expansion needs of the food storage capacity, thereby flexibly adjusting the food storage capacity to meet the feeding needs of different pets.

[0018] 2. In this utility model, symmetrically arranged baffles are provided on opposite sidewalls at the bottom of the expansion frame, and the baffles extend into the grain bin. The baffles facilitate the insertion and assembly of the grain bin and the expansion frame, and also support the inner wall of the grain bin, improving the grain bin's resistance to deformation.

[0019] 3. In this utility model, because the food bucket is "thicker at the top and thinner at the bottom", the expansion frame inserted into the top of the food bucket can be fitted onto the outside of the food bucket from bottom to top, which makes it easy to store the expansion frame and thus facilitates the packaging and transportation of the pet feeder.

[0028] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Please see Figure 1-2 This utility model provides a technical solution: an expandable pet feeder with an expandable food storage capacity, comprising:

[0031] The pet feeder body 1 includes a feeder base 11, a food container 12 and a lid 13. The food container 12 is detachably mounted on the feeder base 11. A first buckle groove 121 is provided on one opposite side wall at the top opening of the food container 12. A first buckle plate 131 is provided on the lid 13, which is positioned corresponding to the first buckle groove 121.

[0032] The expansion frame 2 has a second buckle plate 21 on one of its opposite side walls at the bottom. The second buckle plate 21 is used to fasten with the first buckle groove 121. The expansion frame 2 has a second buckle groove 22 on one of its opposite side walls at the top opening. The position of the second buckle groove 22 corresponds to the second buckle plate 21.

[0033] A third snap plate 122 is provided on one opposite side of the food hopper 12, and the third snap plate 122 is inserted into the feeder base 11. The food hopper 12 and the feeder base 11 are detachable and are specifically connected by snap plates.

[0034] Working principle: When the pet feeder body 1 stores pet food through the food container 12, an expansion frame 2 can be set between the food container 12 and the lid 13. The bottom of the expansion frame 2 is fastened to the food container 12, and the top is fastened to the lid 13, thereby expanding the food storage capacity and effectively reducing the frequency of food replenishment, improving ease of use. In addition, the number of expansion frames 2 between the food container 12 and the lid 13 can be stacked and spliced ​​according to the expansion needs of the food storage capacity, so as to flexibly adjust the food storage capacity and meet the feeding needs of different pets.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] Please see Figure 3 Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further improves upon the following technical solution: Symmetrically arranged baffles 23 are provided on one opposite side wall at the bottom of the expansion frame 2, the baffles 23 extend into the grain hopper 12, and the baffles 23 contact the inner wall of the grain hopper 12.

[0037] The retaining edge 23 facilitates the insertion and assembly of the grain bin 12 and the expansion frame 2, and also supports the inner wall of the grain bin 12, improving the grain bin 12's resistance to deformation.

[0038] Preferably, the height of the retaining edge 23 is equal to the height of the second buckle plate 21, so that the expansion frame 2 can be placed stably.

[0039] Example 3

[0040] See Figure 4-5 Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further improves upon the following technical solutions: the cross-sectional area of ​​the grain bin 12 gradually decreases from top to bottom, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the expansion frame 2 is greater than the cross-sectional area of ​​the bottom of the grain bin 12.

[0041] Because the food container 12 is "thicker at the top and thinner at the bottom", the expansion frame 2, which is inserted into the top of the food container 12, can be fitted onto the outside of the food container 12 from bottom to top, making it easy to store the expansion frame 2 and thus making it easier to package and transport the pet feeder.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
