Under the action of the power output part 213, the transmission shaft 151 can drive the grain stirring blades 120 and the grain distribution assembly 103 to rotate together relative to the shell assembly 111, so that one grain distribution bin 132 is aligned with the grain falling opening 141 (at the moment, the grain falling opening 141 is positioned right above the grain distribution bin, pet grains enter the grain distribution bin through the grain falling opening 141), and the other grain outlet 113 is aligned with the grain outlet (at the moment, the pet grains in the grain distribution bin enter the grain bowl 230 through the grain falling channel 216); or one closed impeller 134 blocks the grain outlet 141 and the other blocks the grain outlet 113 to intermittently align the grain distribution bin 132 with the grain outlet 141 and the grain outlet 113. Under the state that the two closed impellers 134 block the grain outlet 141 and the grain outlet 113, the closed impeller 134 blocking the grain outlet 141 is contacted with or close to the grain limiting rake 142; at this time, when the grain discharging structure 100 and the grain storage barrel 220 are separated, even if the grain discharging structure 100 is in a translation rotating state, the pet grain in the grain distribution bin 132 can not be dropped out.

As shown in fig. 7, the side of each enclosed impeller 134 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 133 and positioning marks 135 for enhancing the touch feeling, and the positioning marks 135 are used to indicate the positional relationship between the enclosed impeller 134 and the housing assembly 110. Specifically, the outer surface of the enclosed impeller 134 is provided with a positioning mark 135, and the positioning structure 116 of the housing assembly 110 is correspondingly provided with an indication mark 1161.

As shown in fig. 9, 10 and 11, the grain dividing member 130 is provided with sealing edges 136 at the periphery of each grain dividing bin 132 and above and below the grain outlet 113 in each closed impeller 134, and the sealing edges 136 are in a strip shape and surround the grain dividing member 130 for one circle. When the grain distributing piece 130 is arranged in the shell component 110, the sealing edge 136 is attached to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 111 to realize the integral sealing of the grain storage module when the grain distributing bin 132 is not communicated with the grain outlet 113. When going out grain structure 100 and connecting on grain storage bucket 220, such setting can let divide granary 132 not facing to under the 113 states of grain outlet, and the inner wall of contained side 136 laminating holding chamber 111, every minute granary 132 forms an independent seal structure through 113 and external intercommunications of grain outlet this moment, so can prevent that the pet grain from by the oxidation, promotes the save effect of pet grain. In this embodiment, the sealing edge 136 is integrally formed with the grain dividing member 130. In addition, the sealing edge 136 may also prevent small pet food particles from entering the dispensing member 130.

As shown in fig. 13, the grain stirring blade 120 comprises a flexible blade assembly 121 and a connecting shaft 122, and the connecting shaft 122 is detachably connected with the first end 1511 through a thread. The blade assemblies 121 are circumferentially distributed on the side surface of the connecting shaft 122, reinforcing ribs 123 correspondingly protrude from the connecting shaft 122 at the position where the blade assemblies 121 are connected, and each blade in the blade assemblies 121 is wrapped with the reinforcing ribs 123. The arrangement of the reinforcing ribs 123 can enhance the fatigue resistance of the joint of the blade assembly 121 and the connecting shaft 122, improve the stability of combination, and prevent the blade assembly 121 from being broken due to the generated shearing force after long-time rotation; in addition, when the vane assembly 121 is made of a softer material, the provision of the reinforcing rib 123 also enables the vane assembly 121 to maintain a certain flexibility.

In other embodiments, the position relationship between the grain outlet 141 and the grain outlet 113 can be made into a corner scheme. As shown in fig. 16, the center lines of the grain outlet 141 and the grain outlet 113 are different by 90 degrees.

Because the housing assembly 110 is provided with the quick-connecting structure 112 and the through hole 114 in the embodiment, the quick-connecting structure 112 and the grain outlet 141 are located at one end of the grain stirring blade 120, the through hole 114 is formed in the end surface of the other end (away from the end with the quick-connecting structure 112), the quick-connecting structure 112 is used for enabling the grain discharging structure 100 to be connected with the grain storage barrel 220 in a quick-disassembling mode, and the second end 1512 and the power output part 213 can be connected in a detachable mode through the through hole 114 to complete power transmission, so that the grain discharging structure 100 is an overall uncharged modular structure design, and is convenient to be connected and separated with the grain storage barrel 220 and the host 210 in a quick mode, and independent replacement, cleaning or cleaning operations are achieved. Because the grain discharging structure 100 and the grain storage barrel 220 can be quickly connected and separated, the grain discharging structure 100 can be matched and connected with various grain storage barrels 220, and the grain storage barrel 220 is a disposable capsule grain storage barrel with good sealing effect, so that the change of the grain storage barrel 200 is also facilitated.
