The utility model provides a pet feeder 1, as shown in fig. 1-7, in an embodiment, the pet feeder 1 comprises a garbage containing mechanism 11, the garbage containing mechanism 11 comprises a material tray device 111, a garbage bin 112 and a grabbing device 113, the material tray device 111 comprises a material tray 1111 and a first driving component 1112, the first driving component 1112 is in transmission connection with the material tray 1111, the material tray 1111 is provided with a communication through hole 11111, and the first driving component 1112 drives the material tray 1111 to rotate so that the communication through hole 11111 is provided with a waste station 15; the garbage bin 112 is arranged below the tray device 111, the garbage bin 112 defines a containing cavity with a top opening, and the communication through hole 11111 is communicated with the containing cavity through the top opening; the grabbing device 113 comprises a jaw assembly 1131 and a second driving assembly 1132, and the second driving assembly 1132 is in transmission connection with the jaw assembly 1131 and is used for driving the jaw assembly 1131 to lift; the communication aperture 11111 is at the waste station 15, and the jaw assembly 1131 is able to discard waste material through the communication aperture 11111 into the receiving cavity. In this embodiment, through the design of garbage bin, material dish and grabbing device, can not need manual intervention, automatic realization abandons the waste material.

In the related art, can scraps after eating are generally carried by a mechanical arm, and the operations are finished by the mechanical arm with multiple degrees of freedom. The mechanical arm with multiple degrees of freedom has a longer maintenance period compared with the mechanical arm with single degree of freedom due to the complex structure, and has higher maintenance cost and difficulty compared with the mechanical arm with single degree of freedom, and a user using the mechanical arm with multiple degrees of freedom generally does not have professional knowledge related to equipment maintenance, so the mechanical arm with multiple degrees of freedom cannot well adapt to the requirements of the existing market; furthermore, the multi-degree-of-freedom mechanical arm also can present challenges to the safety of the pet.

The embodiment of the utility model solves the technical problems. After the pet runs out of the can 2, the second driving component 1132 drives the jaw component 1131 to descend, so that the jaw component 1131 clamps the can 2, after the jaw component 1131 clamps, the second driving component 1132 drives the jaw component 1131 to ascend, so as to drive the can 2 to ascend, so that the can 2 is separated from the material tray 1111, and then the material tray 1111 is driven to rotate by the first driving component 1112, so that the communication through hole 11111 rotates to the waste station 15, namely the communication through hole 11111 is positioned below the can 2 clamped by the jaw component 1131, the jaw component 1131 releases the clamping of the can 2, and the can 2 falls into the accommodating cavity of the garbage bin 112 through the communication through hole 11111; because the second driving component 1132 only needs to drive the jaw component 1131 to lift, the second driving component 1132 has only one degree of freedom, and the first driving component 1112 drives the material tray 1111 to rotate, so the first driving component 1112 also has only one degree of freedom, compared with the multi-degree mechanical arm, because the structures of the first driving component 1112 and the second driving component 1132 are simple, long-term maintenance is not needed, even if maintenance is needed, the multi-degree mechanical arm needs to have higher professional knowledge for maintenance personnel in terms of maintenance difficulty, and the first driving component 1112 and the second driving component 1132 are far lower than the multi-degree mechanical arm due to the simple structure, so the maintenance difficulty is more friendly for pet owners without equipment related maintenance knowledge, and the pet feeder 1 can meet the market demands more. It should be noted that, the second driving component 1132 may be a cylinder or a screw mechanism, the first driving component 1112 may be a stepper motor or a servo motor, and maintenance of these simple devices only needs to be performed by adding lubricating oil on time, and no high requirement is made for the expertise of the maintainer, so that the maintenance of the first driving component 1112 and the second driving component 1132 can be successfully completed even by the pet owner without related expertise.
