  The configuration of the automatic feeder will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. This automatic feeder automatically feeds food B for cats, dogs, squirrels, rabbits and other various pets. A typical example is to supply cats. And it has the following storage part 1, container part 2, opening and closing means 3, guide 4, rotating blade part 5, electric circuit part 6, whole case 7, and the like. As these materials, metal, plastic, wooden, and other various materials can be used.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the storage unit 1 is provided with a bait dropping plate 8 in which bait B can be introduced and stocked. Such a storage unit 1 will be described in further detail. The storage unit 1 is a so-called food storage / storage, has a box shape that can store 1 to 2 weeks worth of food B for one pet, and is arranged at the top of the automatic feeder. An open / close upper lid 15 for feeding bait B is attached to the upper surface, and a bait dropping outlet plate 25 is formed at the end of the bait dropping plate 8.

  The opening / closing means 3, the guide 4, and the container part 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 in addition to FIG. The opening / closing means 3 is opened by pushing the bait B to the outlet 14 by rotating the container portion 2 and the outlet 14 of FIGS. 5 and 6 at the time of starting setting of the rotary blade 13 of FIGS. 3 and 4. The bait B flows down from the outlet 14 until the stop set time (seconds), and the bait B is stopped from flowing down by pushing down the bait B with its own weight. The guide 4 operates so that the bait B enters the rotor blades 13 by the bait guiding stopper 9 and supplements the rotor blades 13 with the amount of the bait B flowing down from the outlet 14. The replenishment of the food B is caused by the food B flowing down from the food dropping outlet plate 25 of the storage unit 1 shown in FIGS. It is configured to replenish bait B around. The container part 2 is a part which stores the bait B to the bait drop outlet plate 25, the bait guidance stopper 9, and the rotary vane 13 by the amount of the bait B released next to the rotor blades.

  Next, the rotating shaft 5 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4 in addition to FIG. The rotating shaft portion 5 includes a motor / gear unit 12, a rotating blade 13, and a rotating shaft 23. As shown in FIG. 1, it is attached to the mounting base 10 with wood screws so that the gap between the bottom of the storage unit 1 and the rotary blade 13 is about 5 mm. First, the motor / gear unit 12 was made as a model. As the driving motor 24, a small Mabuchi motor of 1.5 to 3V for the model was used. By using the slowest gear ratio, the gears are designed to produce powerful torque. Next, the rotor blade 13 is a 0.8 mm aluminum plate made of a 0.8 mm diameter disk, and four center lines are drawn at equal intervals on the disk, and 20 mm protrusions alternately on the circumference with a radius of 30 mm from the center. The structure is made by bending it at a right angle so that it becomes an object. The rotating shaft 23 is made of iron having a diameter of 3 mm, and the rotating shaft 23 and the motor / gear unit 12 are attached by screws. Moreover, although the rotating shaft 23 and the rotary blade 13 are attached with screws, in order to prevent idling, two 10 mm square 16 pieces are bonded to the rotating shaft with a 0.8 mm aluminum plate on the rotating shaft and a small bolt. It is the structure which fixes what was attached and the rotary blade 13 with a thin wire.

The electric circuit unit 6 will be described with reference to FIG. 7 in addition to FIG. The electric circuit unit 6 has a 100V power timer 18 for setting the time for feeding the bait B twice a day, a DC power supply 12V 19 for controlling the electric circuit, and a DC power supply 3V 20 for two AC / DC adapters, As a setting of the time (seconds) for taking out the bait B, the coil 21 of the time limit timer 11 and the time limit timer b contact 22 are used. Since the time setting 100V power timer 18 feeds food B twice in the morning and evening, the coil 21 of the DC 12V time limit timer 11 is connected to the motor / gear unit of DC 3V from the current of the contact b of the time limit timer 11. The twelve driving motors 24 are operated. At the set time in the morning and evening, current flows from the 12V AC / DC adapter 19 to the coil 21 of the time limit timer 11, and at the same time the b contact 22 of the time limit timer 11 is closed. A current flows from the DC / DC adapter 19 to the driving motor 24 of the motor / gear unit 12 and the driving motor 24 rotates. When the set stop time (seconds) is reached, the b-contact 22 of the time limit timer is opened, so that no current flows through the drive motor 24 of the motor / gear unit 12, so the drive motor 24 is stopped. Because of this, food B does not come out.

The entire case is made of a plywood box made of adhesive with a box, top lid 15 for bait B and outlet 1 for bait B.
4 is configured to be openable and closable. Each component is attached to the inside and outside of the entire case with wood screws and suspended from above with a wire.

  FIG. 8 shows a closed position due to the weight of the lid of the outlet 14 of the container part 2. The bait drop outlet plate 25, the bait guiding stopper 9, and the rotary blade 13 of the storage unit 1 are filled with bait B, but the bait B is not discharged because the outlet 14 is closed.

  In FIG. 9, when the start set time is reached, the rotary blade 13 rotates, and if the bait B is pushed out to the outlet 14, the outlet 14 opens and the bait B comes out. When the time limit timer 11 is set to stop (seconds), the rotary vane 13 stops and the outlet 14 is pressed by the weight of the lid of the outlet 14, so that the bait B does not come out.

  Since I have a pet, I have to go home in a hurry, and during travel, I ask other people about requests for food distribution, or to enter a pet hotel, so I will use this automatic feeder If you set the time of feeding and the amount of food to be used, the problem will be solved, so there are many people who are busy recently, so I think there is much demand.
