Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of feeders, and more specifically, to a timed feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] As pet care becomes more sophisticated, timed pet food refill devices (such as automatic feeders) have become mainstream pet supplies. Their core requirements extend beyond simply dispensing food at set times and in measured quantities; they also need to be compatible with the eating habits of pets of different ages and sizes. For example, kittens and puppies need to be fed from a low height to avoid choking, while adult large dogs need their food bowls raised to reduce neck strain. Furthermore, pet food is prone to bacterial growth due to residual grease and debris, so the ease of cleaning and disassembly of the feeder directly impacts pet hygiene. The structural stability of the device under pet collisions and dragging is also a crucial design consideration.

[0003] There is a wide variety of pets, which leads to differences in body size and eating habits. Even different age groups of the same pet may have different feeding requirements. The market usually makes special feeding bowls for various types of pets. For example, there are cat bowls with tilted designs that can reduce the problem of food leakage in special face shapes like Garfield cats, and dog bowls with height that can prevent neck or back discomfort when large dogs eat. However, these feeding bowls are often used by pets for a long time and cannot be well adapted to different stages of a pet's life. For example, when a pet is sick and has to lie down to eat, the original feeding bowl cannot meet the normal feeding needs, and the height of the bowl cannot be adjusted according to the pet's size and height, which increases pressure on the pet's cervical spine and makes it very inconvenient for the pet to eat and digest food. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this application provides a timed feeding device designed to improve the problem that the height of the bowl cannot be adjusted according to the pet's size and height, which increases pressure on the pet's cervical spine and makes it very inconvenient for the pet to eat and digest food.

[0005] This application provides a timed feeding device, including a feeder and a lifting assembly.

[0006] The feeder has a plug on the back, and the top of the plug has a slot. The lifting assembly includes a fixed plate with a groove. A slider is slidably disposed inside the groove. A U-shaped locking block is fixedly connected to the outside of the slider. An insert is locked inside the U-shaped locking block. A locking element is provided on the top of the U-shaped locking block, and the locking element is detachably connected to the slot.

[0007] In one specific implementation, the fixed plate is provided with an adjusting member, the bottom end of which passes through the slide groove and is rotatably connected to the other side wall of the slide groove, and the slider is connected to the adjusting member.

[0008] In one specific implementation, the adjusting component includes a knob and a long screw. The knob is fixedly connected to the long screw, the bottom end of the long screw passes through the fixed plate and is rotatably connected to the other side of the slide groove, and the slider is screwed to the long screw.

[0009] In one specific implementation, the locking component includes a limiting block, a guide rod fixedly connected to the limiting block, the bottom end of the guide rod movably passing through the U-shaped locking block and fixedly connected to a pressing block, the pressing block pressing against the inside of the slot, and a pressing spring sleeved on the outside of the guide rod between the limiting block and the pressing block.

[0010] In one specific implementation, the U-shaped card block has a clearance groove that cooperates with the abutment block.

[0011] In one specific implementation, the feeder includes a control section with a feed container connected to it, a food box connected to the outside of the control section, and an insert fixed to the back of the control section.

[0012] In one specific implementation, the interior of the material container is detachably equipped with a dehumidifying element.

[0013] In one specific implementation, the dehumidifier includes a perforated dehumidifier box containing a desiccant. Connecting rods are symmetrically fixed to both sides of the perforated dehumidifier box, and mounting blocks are fixedly connected to the other ends of the two connecting rods. The two mounting blocks are detachably connected to the inner wall of the holding bucket.

[0014] In one specific implementation, the perforated dehumidifier box is spherical.

[0015] In one specific implementation, the container is provided with a lid.

[0016] Beneficial effects: 1. The feeder is set inside the chute by sliding a slider. On the one hand, the height of the feeder can be changed, and it can be adjusted according to the size and height of the pet. This increases the pressure on the pet's cervical spine, which is conducive to the pet eating and digesting food. On the other hand, the feeder does not come into contact with the ground, which makes it easier to clean the ground and avoids the creation of hygiene dead corners.

[0017] 2. The U-shaped locking block, insert block and locking device make it possible to quickly remove the feeder from the fixing plate, so that the feeder can still be quickly carried when going out, without the need to prepare extra feeders. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-6 This application provides a timed feeding device, including a feeder 10 and a lifting assembly 20.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The feeder 10 has a plug 160 on its back, and a slot 161 is provided on the top of the plug 160; the feeder 10 can automatically feed the pet.

[0024] In this embodiment, the feeder 10 includes a control unit 120. Specifically, the control unit 120 has a timed and quantitative feeding function. Its specific working principle and usage method are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. A food container 110 is connected to the control unit 120, and a food box 130 is connected to the outside of the control unit 120. An insert 160 is fixed to the back of the control unit 120. The control unit 120 can intelligently control the pet food inside the food container 110 to enter the food box 130, thereby achieving automatic control.

[0025] In a specific configuration, a dehumidifier 150 is detachably installed inside the holding hopper 110. The dehumidifier 150 includes a perforated dehumidifier box 151, inside which a desiccant is placed. Connecting rods 152 are symmetrically fixed to both sides of the perforated dehumidifier box 151, and mounting blocks 153 are fixedly connected to the other ends of the two connecting rods 152 respectively. The two mounting blocks 153 are detachably connected to the inner wall of the holding hopper 110. Specifically, the desiccant is placed inside the perforated dehumidifier box 151, and then the perforated dehumidifier box 151, along with the mounting blocks 153 and connecting rods 152, is placed inside the holding hopper 110. The inner surfaces of the holding hopper 110 have mounting grooves that mate with the two mounting blocks 153, and the tops of the two mounting grooves are open. The mounting blocks 153 slide along the mounting grooves into the holding hopper 110 to place the desiccant inside. By using the perforated dehumidifying box 151 and the desiccant, the pet food inside the food container 110 can be dried, preventing the pet food from becoming damp inside the food container 110 and being eaten by the pet, which could affect the pet's health.

[0026] Furthermore, a lid 140 is provided on the material container 110.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The lifting assembly 20 includes a fixed plate 210 with a groove 211. A slider 230 is slidably disposed inside the groove 211. A U-shaped locking block 240 is fixedly connected to the outside of the slider 230. An insert block 160 is locked inside the U-shaped locking block 240. A locking member 250 is provided on the top of the U-shaped locking block 240, and the locking member 250 is detachably connected to the slot 161. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the feeder 10, the slider 230 slides up and down inside the groove 211, thereby changing the height of the feeder 10. By sliding the slider 230 inside the groove 211, the height of the feeder 10 can be changed, allowing it to be adjusted according to the pet's size and height, increasing pressure on the pet's cervical spine, which is beneficial for the pet to eat and digest food. On the other hand, it prevents the feeder 10 from contacting the ground, thus facilitating cleaning of the ground and preventing the creation of sanitary dead corners. The U-shaped locking block 240, the insert block 160 and the locking piece 250 work together to allow the feeder 10 to be quickly removed from the fixing plate 210, so that the feeder 10 can still be quickly carried when going out, without the need to prepare extra feeders 10.

[0028] In this embodiment, an adjusting member 220 is provided on the fixed plate 210. The bottom end of the adjusting member 220 passes through the slide groove 211 and is rotatably connected to the other side wall of the slide groove 211. The slider 230 is connected to the adjusting member 220. The adjusting member 220 includes a knob 221 and a long screw 222. The knob 221 is fixedly connected to the long screw 222. The bottom end of the long screw 222 passes through the fixed plate 210 and is rotatably connected to the other side of the slide groove 211. The slider 230 is screwed to the long screw 222. The locking member 250 includes a limiting block. A guide rod is fixedly connected to the limiting block. The movable bottom end of the guide rod movably passes through the U-shaped locking block 240 and is fixedly connected to a pressing block. The pressing block presses against the inside of the slot 161. A pressing spring is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod between the limiting block and the pressing block. A clearance groove that cooperates with the pressing block is provided on the U-shaped locking block 240. Rotating the knob 221 causes the long screw 222 to rotate, thereby moving the slider 230 and ultimately changing the height of the feeder 10. To disassemble the feeder 10, pull the limiting block upwards to remove the guide rod and the retaining block from the slot 161, allowing the insert 160 to be removed from the U-shaped locking block 240. During installation, pull the limiting block upwards to position the retaining block inside the clearance groove, then push the insert 160 into the U-shaped locking block 240. Then release the limiting block; under the action of the retaining spring, the retaining block will press firmly against the inside of the slot 161.

[0029] The working principle of this timed feeding device is as follows: When the height of the feeder 10 needs to be adjusted, the slider 230 slides up and down inside the slide groove 211, thus changing the height of the feeder 10. By sliding the slider 230 inside the slide groove 211, the height of the feeder 10 can be changed, allowing adjustment according to the pet's size and height, increasing pressure on the pet's cervical spine, which is beneficial for the pet's eating and digestion. Furthermore, it prevents the feeder 10 from contacting the ground, facilitating cleaning and eliminating hard-to-clean areas. The U-shaped locking block 240, the insert block 160, and the locking piece 250 allow for quick detachment of the feeder 10 from the fixing plate 210, enabling quick carrying of the feeder 10 when going out, eliminating the need to prepare extra feeders 10.
