Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a feeding device, and more particularly to a feeding device that automatically supplies a fixed amount of pet feed at a fixed time.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The feeding device disclosed in Taiwanese patent No. 110516 is composed of a combination of a table, a push plate, a guide tube, a cylinder, a lid, and a bottom stand, and when a pet pushes the push plate. The feed falls off and is fed to pets.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, the above conventional feeding device has the following disadvantages. (1) There are too many components, and it takes a lot of time and man-hours to manufacture them, and the cost is high.

[0004] (2) Since the pet does not produce feed unless the pet pushes the push plate, if the pet's brain is relatively low, the pet cannot learn to press the push plate, and the pet cannot obtain feed. Absent. (3) When the brain of the pet is relatively high, the push plate is pushed and played, and the feed comes out and is wasted.

[0005] (4) Since the feed is not automatically fed at a fixed amount and every fixed time, even when the pet does not need the feed so much, the push plate is pushed to feed the food and the feed is scattered. Also, if the pet eats too much feed, it will adversely affect the pet's health.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problem, and has as its object to provide a feeding device that allows a pet to automatically drop a certain amount of feed for a certain period of time and feed it to a pet. .

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention solves the above-mentioned problem by providing a hollow main body, a funnel-shaped receiving part inside the hollow main body, and a bellows-type adjustable feed storage tank on the upper surface of the upper body. The lower opening of the tank is communicated with the upper opening of the funnel-shaped receiving portion. In addition, an inclined feed pipe is provided as a transport mechanism, and a screw conveyor is installed inside the pipe and rotated by a motor. In addition, a timer for setting the operating time of the motor is set, and the motor is started and stopped for a certain period of time, and if the rotation time is set, the motor is started and the screw conveyor is rotated. Feed in the tank and funnel-shaped receiving part goes into the feed pipe continuously, is pushed forward by the screw conveyor, and is a pull-out type feed provided in the bottom of the main body from the outlet at the bottom of the main body. Fall into the entrance.

When the motor of the present invention is started by the setting of the timer, the motor rotates within a certain period of time and a certain amount of feed is dropped from the discharge port into the feed container by the screw conveyor. Therefore, the present invention automatically discharges a certain amount of feed at a certain time and supplies it to the pet.

[0009]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a feeding device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a main body 1, a feed storage tank 2, and a transport mechanism 3.

The main body 1 is hollow, and has a funnel-shaped receiving portion 11 at the center upper portion thereof. The bottom of the funnel-shaped receiving portion 11 communicates with the transport mechanism 3, and the funnel-shaped receiving portion 11 is located above. The feed which automatically falls from the feed storage tank 2 provided on the main body 1 is received. A feed outlet 12 is provided at the front end of the bottom wall of the main body 1, and a drawer-type feed container 13 which can be pulled out or pushed in is provided below the feed outlet 12.

The feed storage tank 2 is formed as a hollow cylinder having a bellows 20 having upper and lower openings, and the upper opening is closed with a removable lid 21. Further, this lid 21 has at least one or more air holes 211, balances the ventilation in the feed storage tank 2 with the inside and outside air pressure, makes the fall of the feed smooth, and prevents the feed from being wet or high temperature. Avoid getting bad quality by getting rid of it. The lower opening is attached to the upper side of the main body 1 and communicates with the upper opening of the funnel-shaped receiving portion 11. The feed in the feed storage tank 2 is naturally dropped and concentrated on the funnel-shaped receiving portion 11, It is also discharged in a fixed amount at the fixed time. The owner of the bellows 20 of the feed storage tank 2 adjusts the expansion and contraction of the bellows 20 according to the pet feed fee and the required number of days of feeding, and puts a predetermined amount of feed into the feed storage tank 2.

The transport mechanism 3 includes a feed pipe 31, a screw conveyor 311 and a timer 32. The feed pipe 31 has its upper end connected to the lower end of the funnel-shaped receiving portion 11, and is inclined forward and downward at a set angle. The lower end is connected to an outlet 12 provided on the wall of the main body 1. A screw conveyor 311 is installed inside the supply tube 31 and rotated by a motor 312. For controlling the start and stop of the motor 312 and the rotation time therebetween, the owner can set the timer 32 by checking the actual situation in advance.

Further, a recess 131 is formed in the front side surface of the drawer type feed container 13 provided at the bottom of the main body 1 so that the feed container 13 can be pulled out or pushed in. Further, a stopper 14 is attached to the upper edge of the lower end of the wall of the main body 1 where the feed bin 13 enters and exits, so that when the feed bin 13 is pulled out, it is stopped, and the feed bin 13 comes out of the main body 1 completely. To prevent that.

Next, in order to use the feeder of the present embodiment, first, a predetermined required amount of feed is put in the feed storage tank 2 and the funnel-shaped receiving portion 11. Next, the timer 32 is set to determine the time of each feeding and the amount of one feeding, and then the power supply is plugged in and the feeder 13 is pulled out.

The timer 32 is activated when the set feeding time is reached, and automatically supplies power to the transport mechanism 3, the motor 312 is activated, and the screw conveyor in the feed pipe 31 is activated. The feed is turned, so that the feed in the feed tube is gradually moved downwards, drops out of the outlet 12 into the feed bin 13 and is fed to the pet. Also, after the set rotation time of the motor 312 has elapsed, the power supply is automatically cut off, the discharge of the feed is stopped, and the purpose of this feeder is to achieve an automatic fixed time and a constant feed of feed.

[Effect of the invention]

 The feeding device of the present invention has the following effects. (1) The structure is precise and simple, the cost is low and the production is quick. (2) Since the feed is discharged at a fixed time and in a fixed amount, the amount of food consumed by the pet can be controlled, and the feed is not wasted and no man is required, which is convenient.

(3) The number of times of feeding and the amount of feeding are controlled, so that the present invention can be applied to pets having different feeds. (4) The feed storage tank is composed of bellows and is stretchable, so that the amount of feed to be stored can be adjusted as needed. (5) When not in use, the feed bin can be pushed into the bottom of the main body, and the height of the feed storage tank can be reduced, thereby reducing the occupied space.
