Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of animal products technology, and in particular to an animal feeder. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, ordinary syringes or droppers are commonly used when feeding liquid medications or nutritional solutions to animals. Ordinary syringes are difficult to use for drawing viscous liquids, and their piston mechanism can easily be accidentally pushed out when the animal struggles, leading to inaccurate dosages and waste. Ordinary droppers, on the other hand, have problems such as the liquid volume not being readily apparent, the tip being prone to leakage, being inconvenient to hold, and being difficult to store.

[0003] It is evident that existing feeding tools have limited functionality and are inconvenient to use when animals are struggling, resulting in low feeding efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problem of low feeding efficiency in existing feeders, this application provides an animal feeder.

[0005] This application provides an animal feeder, which adopts the following technical solution: it includes a bottle body and a bottle cap, the bottle body and the bottle cap are detachably connected, a feeding device is installed on the bottle cap, the feeding device includes a spherical capsule, a first connecting tube, a second connecting tube and a feeding head, the spherical capsule is installed at the end of the first connecting tube away from the bottle body, the second connecting tube is connected to the end of the first connecting tube away from the spherical capsule, the feeding head is connected to the end of the second connecting tube away from the spherical capsule, and a feeding channel is opened in the feeding head that communicates with the first connecting tube, the second connecting tube and the spherical capsule, the second connecting tube is arc-shaped.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the functions of liquid storage, liquid aspiration and liquid extrusion are integrated into one, which is convenient for one-handed operation. This allows the operation to remain stable even when the animal may struggle during feeding, significantly improving feeding efficiency and success rate. The arc-shaped second connecting tube can fit the animal's mouth better, eliminating the need to excessively tilt the feeding device or twist the wrist during feeding, which helps to improve operating comfort and feeding accuracy.

[0007] In some implementations, the diameter of the first connecting pipe is larger than that of the second connecting pipe.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the larger first connecting tube reduces the flow resistance of the liquid being drawn up from the bottle, making the liquid aspiration process smoother and faster; while the relatively smaller second connecting tube helps to form a more concentrated and controllable liquid flow when dispensing, preventing the liquid from overflowing from the corners of the animal's mouth due to excessively rapid flow, thus ensuring the feeding dosage.

[0009] In some implementations, the diameter of the second connecting tube gradually decreases from the first connecting tube toward the feeding head.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the diameter of the second connecting tube is gradually reduced, which enables the liquid squeezed out each time to be delivered into the animal's mouth efficiently and completely, reducing the residual loss of the medicine in the tube.

[0011] In some embodiments, the second connecting tube is detachably connected to the first connecting tube and is equipped with a variety of different sized feeding heads.

[0012] In some embodiments, the second connecting pipe is threaded to the first connecting pipe, the end of the thread of the second connecting pipe is provided with a protrusion, and the first connecting pipe is provided with a groove, the groove corresponding to the protrusion, the groove being used for the protrusion to be engaged.

[0013] In some embodiments, multiple feeding channels are provided, and each feeding channel is connected to a first connecting tube, a second connecting tube, and a spherical capsule.

[0014] In some embodiments, the spherical capsule, the first connecting tube, the second connecting tube, and the feeding head are all made of flexible materials. A protective shell is provided at one end of the spherical capsule near the first connecting tube. The protective shell is hemispherical, and the inner wall of the protective shell is fitted to the spherical capsule. The hardness of the protective shell is greater than that of the spherical capsule.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the protective shell can provide a solid support point for the extruded liquid, making it easier for users to apply force during operation and minimizing the extrusion of large amounts of liquid in a single operation; the protective shell can also protect the spherical capsules and extend the product's service life.

[0016] In some embodiments, the spherical capsule is provided with an outer shell, the outer shell is spherical, a first operating groove is provided on the side of the outer shell away from the bottle body, and at least one second operating groove is provided on the side wall of the outer shell, the second operating groove penetrating the outer shell.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the first operating groove allows the thumb to apply force to the spherical capsule, the second operating groove allows the index finger and / or middle finger to apply force to the spherical capsule, and the outer shell can provide support for the user during operation, effectively avoiding hand slippage and dosage loss during feeding.

[0018] In some implementations, the feeding device is detachably connected to the bottle cap.

[0019] In some embodiments, the spherical capsule and the first connecting tube are provided with graduations.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. By integrating liquid storage, liquid absorption, and liquid extrusion into one product, it is easy to hold and feed, simplifies the operation process, ensures feeding stability, and improves the feeding success rate; 2. The detachable feeding head design adapts to the needs of different animals, improves the adaptability of the animal feeder, and ensures the hygiene and safety of feeding; the detachable feeding parts design ensures the convenience and flexibility of feeding operations, thereby ensuring the stability of feeding operations. 3. The design of the protective shell or outer shell not only protects the spherical capsules and extends the product's lifespan, but also provides a fulcrum for the user during feeding, preventing a large amount of liquid from being released at once due to forcefully squeezing the spherical capsules. This allows for effortless one-handed operation while effectively preventing dosage loss. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the term "and / or" in this document is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, or B existing alone. Furthermore, the character " / " in this document, unless otherwise specified, generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0028] This application provides an animal feeder, including a bottle body 1 and a bottle cap 2. The bottle body 1 and the bottle cap 2 are detachably connected. A feeding component 3 is installed on the bottle cap 2. The feeding component 3 includes a spherical capsule 31, a first connecting tube 32, a second connecting tube 33, and a feeding head 34. The spherical capsule 31 is installed at the end of the first connecting tube 32 away from the bottle body 1. The second connecting tube 33 is connected to the end of the first connecting tube 32 away from the spherical capsule 31. The feeding head 34 is connected to the end of the second connecting tube 33 away from the spherical capsule 31. A feeding channel 341 is opened in the feeding head 34, which communicates with the first connecting tube 32, the second connecting tube 33, and the spherical capsule 31. The second connecting tube 33 is arc-shaped.

[0029] By squeezing the spherical capsule 31, the liquid medicine or food in the bottle 1 can be drawn into the feeding device 3. During feeding, the feeding head 34 and part of the second connecting tube 33 are inserted into the animal's mouth, and the spherical capsule 31 is squeezed to allow the liquid medicine in the feeding device 3 to enter the animal's mouth. This integrates liquid storage, suction, and dispensing, allowing the user to operate stably with one hand even when the animal is struggling, thereby improving feeding efficiency and success rate. In particular, the arc-shaped design of the second connecting tube 33 allows the feeding head 34 to naturally extend deep into the animal's oral cavity, conforming to the animal's oral cavity structure, without the need for excessive tilting of the bottle or twisting of the wrist, greatly improving the ergonomic comfort of operation and the accuracy of feeding.

[0030] Specifically, in this embodiment, the bottle body 1 and the bottle cap 2 are threaded together, which facilitates quick installation and disassembly, thereby making it easy to replenish medicine or food into the bottle body 1 in a timely manner. A sealing ring is provided between the bottle body 1 and the bottle cap 2 to ensure the sealing effect of the medicine in the bottle body 1 and to minimize the leakage of medicine.

[0031] In this embodiment, the spherical capsule 31 and the first connecting tube 32 are integrally formed, and the second connecting tube 33 and the feeding head 34 are integrally formed. The second connecting tube 33 and the first connecting tube 32 are detachably connected, and various feeding heads 34 of different sizes are provided. In this embodiment, the different sizes of feeding heads 34 mainly refer to feeding heads 34 of different diameters or second connecting tubes 33 of different diameters, so as to facilitate the selection of different sizes of feeding heads 34 for animals of different sizes and species, thereby improving the adaptability of the animal feeder and achieving better feeding results. Specifically, the second connecting tube 33 and the first connecting tube 32 are threadedly connected. The second connecting tube 33 is provided with an external thread, and the first connecting tube 32 is provided with an internal thread. The end of the external thread on the second connecting tube 33 is provided with a protrusion, and the end of the internal thread on the first connecting tube 32 is provided with a groove. The groove is provided correspondingly to the protrusion, and the groove is used for the protrusion to be engaged. When changing to a different size feeding head 34, when the second connecting tube 33 is rotated to be fully tightened, the protrusion will engage with the groove. The engagement of the protrusion and the groove can effectively prevent the connection from loosening due to slight vibration or external force.

[0032] In other embodiments, the spherical capsule 31, the first connecting tube 32, the second connecting tube 33, and the feeding head 34 may be integrally formed, which is not limited here.

[0033] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the diameter of the first connecting tube 32 is larger than that of the second connecting tube 33. The larger diameter of the first connecting tube 32 reduces the resistance when aspirating liquid, making the aspiration process smoother and more convenient. The smaller diameter of the second connecting tube 33 prevents the liquid from flowing too fast and overflowing from the corner of the animal's mouth when dispensing, ensuring the accuracy of the feeding dosage and reducing waste.

[0034] In some embodiments, the diameter of the second connecting pipe 33 gradually decreases from the first connecting pipe 32 toward the feeding head 34. The gradual decrease in pipe diameter reduces liquid residue on the inner wall of the second connecting pipe 33, making the liquid flow more stable and concentrated, thereby further reducing liquid residue loss in the pipe and reducing waste.

[0035] In this embodiment, one feeding channel 341 is provided. In other embodiments, multiple feeding channels 341 may be provided, and each feeding channel 341 is connected to the first connecting pipe 32, the second connecting pipe 33, and the spherical capsule 31. By providing multiple feeding channels 341, feeding can be diverted, which can avoid choking caused by excessive impact of a single liquid flow. At the same time, multiple feeding channels can prevent feeding interruption caused by food residue clogging a single feeding channel.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the spherical capsule 31, the first connecting tube 32, the second connecting tube 33, and the feeding head 34 are all made of flexible materials, such as low-density polyethylene (LDPE) or high-density polyethylene (HDPE). All components are transparent. A protective shell 4 is provided at one end of the spherical capsule 31 near the first connecting tube 32. The protective shell 4 is hemispherical, and its inner wall is fitted to the spherical capsule 31. The hardness of the protective shell 4 is greater than that of the spherical capsule 31. In this embodiment, the protective shell 4 is preferably made of PP material. The protective shell 4 reduces the operating space of the spherical capsule 31. When using the feeder, the protective shell 4 provides the user with a solid support point, making it easy to hold, apply force, and squeeze, preventing accidental contact and squeezing of the spherical capsule 31 during use and operation. When the feeder is not in use or is being stored, the protective shell 4 also protects the spherical capsule 31, minimizing the risk of it being accidentally crushed or punctured, thus helping to extend the product's lifespan.

[0037] In other embodiments, the spherical capsule 31 is provided with an outer shell 5. The outer shell 5 is spherical and its hardness is greater than that of the spherical capsule 31. In this embodiment, the outer shell 5 is preferably made of PP material. A first operating groove 51 is provided on the side of the outer shell 5 away from the bottle body 1, and at least one second operating groove 52 is provided on the side wall of the outer shell 5. The second operating groove 52 extends to the edge of the outer shell 5 away from the bottle body 1. In this embodiment, there are two second operating grooves 52, and the two second operating grooves 52 are arranged opposite to each other. The second operating grooves 52 can increase the exposed area of ​​the spherical capsule 31, making it easier for the user to squeeze the spherical capsule 31 to draw out liquid during use. When feeding, the user can squeeze the spherical capsule 31 with two fingers along the second operating groove 52 to release the liquid, or hold the outer shell 5 with two fingers and press the spherical capsule 31 with one finger along the first operating groove 51 to release the liquid. By providing the outer shell 5, multiple postures are provided for the squeezing and dispensing operation, which helps to stabilize the operation during the feeding process, making the feeding operation convenient, stable and reliable.

[0038] Furthermore, the feeding device 3 is detachably connected to the bottle cap 2. Specifically, the bottle cap 2 has an insertion hole, a sealing ring is inserted into the insertion hole, the feeding device 3 is inserted into the insertion hole, and the sealing ring abuts against the outer wall of the feeding device 3. During feeding, the feeding device 3 can be removed from the bottle cap 2 to ensure flexibility and convenience during feeding.

[0039] In some embodiments, the spherical capsule 31 and the first connecting tube 32 are provided with graduations to visualize the feeding amount, accurately control the amount of inhaled and fed liquid, and achieve precise feeding or administration.

[0040] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
