Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pet supplies technology, and more specifically, relates to a pet touch feeder. Background Technology

[0002] Most existing pet feeders use motor-driven screw propulsion mechanisms or vibration mechanisms to transport and dispense pet food. This type of food dispensing method relies on electricity and has a complex structure and high cost. In addition, some interactive mechanical feeders that do not require electricity usually dispense food by having the pet touch a single-point swinging component or a flipping mechanism. However, due to the different shapes of pet food particles and their stickiness after getting damp, blockages can easily form in the food dispensing channel, resulting in poor food dispensing stability of the device. Currently, there is still a lack of a simple mechanical interactive feeder that requires no external power and can generate multidimensional vibrations when touched by a pet to effectively break up blockages.

[0003] Existing automatic feeders mostly use motor-driven screw propulsion or vibratory feeders to dispense food, which are complex in structure, expensive, and dependent on electricity. Some interactive feeders allow pets to touch and release food, but their food dispensing channels are prone to clogging due to the varying shapes of pet food pellets and moisture causing them to stick together, affecting the user experience. Currently, there is a lack of an interactive feeder that is simple in structure, requires no additional power, and can effectively prevent clogging. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a pet touch feeder that can achieve this.

[0005] This utility model discloses a pet touch feeder, including a food storage bin, a food discharge pipe, and a vibration anti-blocking mechanism installed inside the food discharge pipe; the food storage bin is detachably installed on the top of the food discharge pipe, and the food storage bin and the food discharge pipe are internally connected. The vibration anti-blocking mechanism includes a connector and a suspension assembly; the connector is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the grain discharge pipe; the suspension assembly includes a suspension part and a counterweight part suspended below it; the suspension assembly is suspended from the connector through the suspension part; the suspension part is an elastic element that will generate three-dimensional vibration after being subjected to external force. The bottom end of the grain discharge pipe has a grain discharge port, and a counterweight is movably embedded in the grain discharge port to form a movable grain discharge structure. When the counterweight is moved, a grain discharge gap is formed between it and the grain discharge port, allowing the grain to be discharged from the grain discharge port.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, the middle part of the suspension part is bent and arranged in a "U" shape. The middle part of the suspension part is hung on the connector, and its two free ends extend downward and are directly or indirectly connected to the fixing part fixedly installed on the top of the counterweight part.

The bottom of the second grain discharge pipe forms a grain outlet. The maximum inner diameter of the second channel is greater than the maximum diameter of the counterweight to provide sufficient swing space for the counterweight.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the maximum diameter of the inner circumference of the second channel is 1.5 times the maximum diameter of the counterweight.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The suspension part is an elastic component. When the pet touches the counterweight part, it forms a three-dimensional vibration, which can effectively loosen the food that forms an arch bridge in the food drop pipe, achieving a purely mechanical anti-clogging effect without any electric drive. The counterweight ball forms a movable plug at the food inlet, and the momentary gap created by flicking it can quickly release food; the three-dimensional shaking of the suspension component further loosens the particles above, and the overall structure can continuously maintain smooth food delivery; the counterweight part, as a movable component, can guide the pet to obtain food by touching or patting, increasing the play experience during feeding, satisfying the pet's exploration, hunting and tactile feedback needs, and improving the behavioral enrichment value; The grain delivery pipes, grain storage bins, and connecting parts all adopt a detachable structure for easy cleaning and maintenance; The connectors are made of rubber or silicone, giving them elasticity and damping properties to absorb impacts and reduce vibration noise.
