Description

Automatic feeder for pet}

The present invention relates to an automatic pet feeding machine, and more particularly, the structure is simple and easy to use in the automatic feeding of pets, and it is practical to automatically adjust the feeding cycle and the feeding amount with a simple control function. Economical automatic feeding machine.

With the development of the industry and the improvement of life, pets are increasing day by day for the purpose of emotional development, and social interest is increasing. Therefore, in order to solve the problem of lack of effects and overeating in the breeding of pets, timely and proper feeding must be made. However, if all the family goes out or leave the house for a long time, such as vacation, or if the working couples raise pets, the pets will remain at home alone, raising the problem of feeding. In this case, the feed of several meals or several days should be provided in a batch, and the pet's health may be deteriorated due to the problem that the pet is overeated or the food left unattended for a long time. To prevent this, pets may be placed in foster care where they are temporarily fostered, but this costs money and creates a strain on the pets due to changing living conditions. As a result, ordinary people who frequently leave their homes have been a reason to avoid breeding due to feeding problems even if they want to keep pets. In order to solve such a problem, the automatic feeding machine is known, and Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. Hei 6-86614 and US Patent No. 5,299,529 and the like are known.

Conventional automatic food feeders for pet food, in the form of a box (Box) structure consisting of an electronic micom and a display display such as an input keyboard and LCD to control the food supply unit, the food opening unit, the voice generating unit, in advance, When the set time is reached, the call voice is automatically played to call the pet and open the food opening to automatically feed the food.

By the way, these conventional automatic feeding machine is a structure that controls all components with an electronic micom, expensive and complicated structure is difficult for the user to easily adjust and operate, due to the large shape of the box form, there is a restriction in the installation place There is a safety problem for the pets being eaten when closing the drawer food opening and closing automatically according to the meal cycle.

Therefore, the object of the present invention, the structure is simple and easy to use, regardless of the place of installation is manufactured at low cost, practical and economical automatic feeding machine that can automatically adjust the meal cycle and feed amount with a simple control function To provide.

The water supply control tank 93 has a water supply hose 95 for accommodating the lower end of the drinking water supply pipe 91 so that an air inlet 94a for air inflow is formed in the upper part and guides the drinking water to the drinking water container 88a. . The water supply hose 95 connects the drinking water container 88a and the water supply control tank 93 and guides the drinking water from the water supply control tank 93 to the drinking water container 88a.

The air supply pipe 96 is installed in the drinking water supply pipe 91 so that one end thereof is located in the upper region of the drinking water storage 80 and the other end is located in the water supply control tank 93 corresponding to the water supply opening and closing of the drinking water storage 80. By keeping the air inlet and the siphon pressure, the pet is always replenished with the amount of drinking water he has eaten.

Drinking water container (88a) is provided with a water supply hose connector (89) for supplying the drinking water container (88a) along the removable water supply hose (95) supplied to the water supply control tank (93) on the lower side. When soiled water including feed and the like precipitates in the drinking water container 88a due to the detachment of the water supply hose 95, the drinking water container 88a can be taken out and cleaned easily.

By this configuration, when the time of the timer 75 reaches the set feeding time in the state where the power switch 71 is ON, the timer 75 connects power to the system. An actuating solenoid 52 moves the solenoid drive shaft 53. The solenoid driving shaft 53 rotates the soccer driving cam 56 coupled to the end of the main rotating shaft 55 to rotate the linking arm 58 counterclockwise. Accordingly, the spring-type link member 59 connected to the linkage arm 58 rotates the valve lever 63 clockwise again so that the on / off valve 60 coupled to the valve lever 63 in the axial direction is provided with a feed member. Block 40).

On the other hand, the container cover lever 33, which is forcibly coupled to the main rotating shaft 55, is also rotated counterclockwise, thereby opening the container cover 31. In addition, when the power supply is cut off, the return spring 66 returns the solenoid drive shaft 53 to its original position. As the solenoid drive shaft 53 returns, the main rotation shaft 55 returns to the original position due to the return stress of the valve spring 62. While returning, the valve lever 63 is returned to its original position. Accordingly, the opening and closing valve 60 again maintains the feed supply member 40 in an open state, and the container cover lever 33 also blocks the feeding opening in accordance with the return of the main pivot 55.

On the other hand, Figure 9 is an outer side view of the feed system (1) according to the second embodiment of the present invention, made of the same configuration as the above embodiment, but the means for adjusting the feed amount of the lower end of the main body 10 A shutter rod 48 integrally coupled with the second adjustment bolt 46 and the second adjustment bolt 46 sliding upward and downward between the long holes formed therein, and coupled to the longitudinal end of the shutter rod 48. The feed amount adjustment shutter 49 is provided to adjust the feed amount of the feed by opening the feed passage between the feed container 30 and the feed supply member 40 by sliding the second adjustment bolt 46 in the vertical direction.

10 is an outer side view of the drinking water supply device 2 according to the third embodiment of the present invention, having the same configuration as the above-described first embodiment, and having a valve seat member provided in the drinking water supply member 90 ( 97, the valve 98 which opens and closes the valve seat member 97, the float 99 which rises and falls according to the water level of the drinking water container 88b, and is provided between the float 99 and the valve 98, and the float ( The valve rod 100 which blocks and opens the valve 98 by the upward and downward movement of the 99, and a valve rod support member 106 for receiving and supporting the valve rod. Accordingly, when the pet eats the drinking water in the drinking water container 88b, the float 99 floating on the surface of the water moves downward in correspondence with the amount consumed by the pet and thus is integrally combined with the float 99. The valve 98 is spaced apart from the valve seat member 97, so that the drinking water of the drinking water storage unit 80 is supplied to the drinking water container 88b, and at the same time, through the inlet 94b formed at a predetermined position on the drinking water storage unit 80. When the water level corresponding to the amount of drinking water discharged from the drinking water storage unit 80 is supplied to the drinking water storage unit 80, the drinking water is supplied to a predetermined amount or more, and the water level rises, the float 99 moves upward to the valve. 98 blocks the drinking water outlet of the valve seat member 97.

In the above and embodiments, the water supply opening and closing means of the automatic drinking water was described as the preferred embodiment, the siphon type or the float valve type, but the valve seat is configured on the lower inner side, and the connection portion for coupling with the drinking water supply member is formed on the lower valve seat. The water supply member for forming a valve-shaped rod flow port, which is connected to the drinking water storage connector, the lower side is provided with a drinking water supply guide hose connector in the lower part, and the upper and the rectangular tubular shape of the upper part is opened; A drinking water container fixing member for receiving and fixing the valve operating rod is provided in the drinking water container having a drinking water supply guide hose connector, and a valve is formed at the upper end of the valve operating rod penetrating the flow port of the drinking water supply member and the drinking water container fixing member.
