Description

Intelligent feeding device

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of pet tools, in particular to an intelligent feeder.

With the advancement of urbanization, more and more people live in cities, but neighbors are not in a mature network, more and more people start to raise pets in order to resolve the loneliness, and even the pets are regarded as one member of a family, so that the pets bring infinite fun to the lives of people. The pet fed by the pet feed mainly comprises a cat and a dog, and the dog needs to be carried out by the owner every day for playing because of liveliness and liveliness. However, at present, people are busy in work and study, often do not have time to go out for walking the dog, and the dog house does not move at home, so that physical and mental health of the people is very unfavorable.

A plurality of pet accompanying intelligent robots appear on the market, wherein the robots mostly comprise a shell, a control device, a feeding device, an emitting device and a linkage device, the control device controls the linkage device, and the emitting device and the feeding device are very conveniently controlled. When going out, the user can remotely interact with the pet. The linkage devices in the intelligent robots adopt a variable speed motor and a gear to push a piston to throw food and also adopt the variable speed motor to drive a pull rod to throw food. But this type of aggregate unit leads to the pet to accompany intelligent robot structure to set up unreasonablely, and pay-off and throw the material process and often go wrong to throw and eat the effect poor.

There is also a known dog teaser on the market which can be used to feed and tease pets by shooting balls and the like. It specifically includes two parts: a feeding system and a amusing dog system for feeding and projecting ball toys, respectively. When the control mechanism opens a channel between the granary and the grain box, the pet grains naturally slide down from the granary and reach the grain box, and the pet can eat directly in the grain box. After the dog is full, the dog is usually unwilling to move, so that the ball toy projected by the dog amusing system has little attraction to the ball toy, and a good dog amusing effect cannot be achieved.

The feeders on the existing market are ejection mechanisms, the ejection distance and the ejection angle are fixed, the enthusiasm of pets cannot be fully mobilized, and a good dog teasing effect cannot be achieved.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the pet food throwing device comprises a shell, a grain storage bin 5, a rotary push plate mechanism and a conveying device 8; the shell comprises an upper shell 2 and a lower shell 14, the grain storage bin 5, the rotary push plate mechanism and the conveying device 8 are located inside the upper shell 2, and the bottom of the upper shell 2 is connected with the lower shell 14 through a rotating device 13, so that the upper shell 2 can rotate relative to the lower shell 14. The grain storage bin 5 is positioned at the upper part of the upper shell 2, the upper cover 1 is hermetically arranged on the upper shell 2, and the grain storage bin 5 can be replenished with food by opening the upper cover 1. And the upper cover 1 is provided with a drying agent for ensuring the drying of food in the grain storage bin 5. An infrared sensor 6 is arranged in the granary 5 and used for detecting whether the granary 5 is in a grain shortage state or a grain lack state. Be equipped with camera 4 and microphone on the casing 2, camera 4 is used for shooing the pet, and the microphone is used for calling the pet. A conveying device 8 is arranged in the granary 5, the conveying device 8 is vertically arranged at an outlet of the granary 5, and the conveying device 8 comprises a driving wheel 10, a driven wheel 9 and a conveying belt 7; the driving wheel 10 is in transmission connection with the driven wheel 9 through a conveying belt 7, the driving wheel 10 is in transmission connection with a second driving mechanism 16, a plurality of supporting plates 20 are arranged on the conveying belt 7, and grains in the grain storage bin 5 are conveyed to an inlet of the ejection device through the supporting plates 20. The second driving mechanism 16 is a speed reducing motor, and the supporting plate 20 is arc-shaped and used for preventing food from sliding off the supporting plate 20.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the rotary push plate mechanism comprises a rotary push plate 12, a first driving mechanism 17 and a grain channel 11; the grain channel 11 is communicated with an outlet of the grain storage bin 5; the grain channel 11 is internally provided with a rotatable rotary push plate 12, and the first driving mechanism 17 is used for driving the rotary push plate 12 to rotate. The grain channel 11 comprises an outlet section and a beating cavity, the outlet section is tangent to the beating cavity, and the beating cavity is communicated with an outlet of the grain storage bin 5; the rotary push plate 12 is rotatably mounted within the striking cavity. The food is conveyed into the hitting cavity of the grain channel 11 through the conveying device 8, and the rotating push plate 12 is driven by the first driving mechanism 17 to hit the food, so that the food flies out in the tangential direction. The end of the outlet section is a grain outlet 3 which is positioned on the surface of the upper shell 2. The first drive mechanism 17 is a reduction motor.

The rotating push plate 12 is made of an elastomer material, and the elastomer material can be silica gel, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyurethane or other organic materials. In the embodiment, the rotary push plate 12 is preferably made of silica gel or polytetrafluoroethylene in consideration of food safety. The rotating speed of the rotating push plate 12 is adjustable, and the rotating speed output by the first driving mechanism 17 can be changed through frequency conversion, so that the hitting force of the rotating push plate 12 can be finally changed, and the hitting distance of food can be changed. The gap between the rotary push plate 12 and the inner wall of the food channel 11 is not more than 1mm, which is not only for realizing the rotation of the rotary push plate 12, but also more importantly, because the surface of the food is irregular, when the food is blocked with the rotary push plate 12, the rotary push plate 12 can easily drive the food to rotate through the deformation of the elastic body, and the food is ensured not to be cut up.

In order to realize the diversity of the distance for changing the food striking, the invention also comprises a control module 18, and the control module 18 is used for controlling the synchronous starting or the delayed starting of the second driving mechanism 16 of the conveying device 8 and the first driving mechanism 17 of the rotary push plate mechanism. If the distance needing to be struck by food is short, the second driving mechanism 16 is started firstly to enable the food to enter the striking cavity through the conveying device 8, the first driving mechanism 17 is started after time delay, at the moment, because the time from the beginning of rotating the rotary push plate 12 to striking the food is limited, the striking force of the rotary push plate 12 is small, and the initial speed obtained by the struck food is small. This is because the first drive mechanism 17 takes time to activate and the stroke after the food is in place only achieves a small initial velocity. If the distance needing to be beaten by the food is long, the second driving mechanism 16 and the first driving mechanism 17 are started simultaneously, the speed of the second driving mechanism 16 is controlled, so that when the food enters the beating cavity through the conveying device 8, the rotating speed of the first driving mechanism 17 reaches the set rotating speed, and at the moment, the food is beaten by the rotating push plate 12 to obtain a large initial speed, so that the long-distance beating is realized. In order to ensure that the conveyor means 8 transports the food on one pallet 20 in the striking cavity, a limit switch 19 is mounted near said conveyor means 8.

A WIFI module is arranged in the control module 18, and is used for connecting the control module 18 with a terminal device, and the terminal device may be a smart phone, a smart computer, or other intelligent devices. The terminal device may issue instructions to operate the control module 18.
