The present invention for achieving this object is;

A pet food automatic feeding device for automatically feeding food to a food container;

Feed housing is exposed to the outside, the storage container is installed in the housing and the food is stored and the discharge port is provided at the bottom, the discharge means for forcibly discharging the food in the reservoir, and the food discharged through the discharge means to guide the food container side A feeding chute, a driving means for driving the discharge means, and a control means for controlling the driving means;

Discharge means is characterized in that it comprises a discharge guide provided in the transverse direction between the discharge port and the feed chute so that one end is in communication with the discharge port and the other end is associated with the food chute, and the transfer screw disposed in the discharge guide in the longitudinal direction do.

In addition, the feed screw is characterized in that it comprises a rotating shaft which is mounted on both sides of the discharge guide so as to be rotatable, and spiral wings provided in a spiral along the outer periphery of the rotating shaft.

In addition, the driving means is a geared motor which is directly connected to the end of the rotating shaft and the current supply is controlled by the control means.

According to this configuration, by dropping the food stored in the storage container in a predetermined amount in accordance with the set time, it is possible to automatically feed the pet.

Hereinafter, one preferred embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to Figure 1, the pet food automatic feeding device according to the present invention is a housing 10 is provided with a feed container 11 at the bottom side, the storage container is accommodated and installed in the housing 10, the discharge port 21 formed at the bottom 20, the discharge means 30 for forcibly discharging the food in the reservoir 20, the driving means 40 for driving the food, and the food falling through the discharge means 30 to guide the food container 11 to the side. Feeding chute 50 and the control means 60 for controlling the drive means (40).

The housing 10 forms an external form of the automatic feeding device, and the storage container 20, the discharge means 30, the driving means 40, and the like are embedded therein. And the housing 10, the bottom plate 12 is provided with a feed container 11 is the food falling through the food chute 50 is collected. Reference numeral '13' is provided on the top of the housing 10 to cover the upper portion of the reservoir 21, and opens the lid 13 to feed the food (A) to the reservoir 21. '14' is a power cord for supplying power to the driving means 40, the control means 60 and the like.

Storage bin 20 is formed of a kind of hopper shape consisting of a gradually smaller inner diameter from the top to the bottom so as to gather to the bottom by the weight as the food gradually exits, the bottom of the tubular outlet extending downward 21 is provided integrally.

Feed chute 50 is the upper end is in communication with the distal end of the discharge guide 31 which will be described later and the lower end is arranged to be inclined downward so as to communicate with the side of the feeding container 11, feeding the food dropping through the discharge guide (31) You will be guided to.

In addition, the discharge means 30 has a discharge guide 31 formed so that the discharge port 21 and the food chute 50 is connected, and the transfer screw 32 is arranged to be rotatable in the discharge guide 31. . Discharge guide 31 is the upper side is in direct communication with the outlet 21, the other end is made of a tubular shape associated with the upper side of the food chute 50, disposed between the outlet 21 and the food chute 50 in the horizontal direction It is. And the feed screw 32 is installed in the discharge guide 31 so as to be rotatable in the longitudinal direction, which is the rotary shaft 32a and both ends are rotatably mounted on both sides of the discharge guide 31, the rotary shaft 32a It has spiral wings 32b provided in a spiral form along the outer periphery. Accordingly, the feed falling to the discharge port 21 side by its own weight during rotation of the transfer screw 32 is gradually pushed toward the feed chute 50 side along the spiral wing 32b to fall into the feed container 11. Reference numeral '33' is a bracket provided at the distal end of the discharge guide 31 so that the end of the rotation shaft 32a of the transfer screw 32 is rotatably mounted.

The driving means 40 for driving the discharge means 30 is a driving motor which is directly connected to the rotating shaft 32a of the transfer screw 32 and rotates it. The drive motor is mounted to the inner wall of the housing 10 through a screw, and consists of a geared motor 40 in which the electric motor and the reduction gear device are combined into one. The drive of the geared motor 40 is controlled by a control signal set in the control means 60.

In addition, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the control means 60 is installed in the housing 10, it is possible to set the operating time of the feeding device, and to control the drive of the geared motor 40 for a predetermined time in accordance with the set time Done. To this end, the control means 60 includes a control panel 63 in which a microcomputer 62 is built and provided with a plurality of operation buttons 61, and a time set by the operation button 61 provided on the front of the control panel 63. It is provided with a display unit 64 in which the operation status is displayed. And the operation button 61 is electrically connected to the input side of the microcomputer 62, and the display part 64 and the geared motor 40 are electrically connected to the output side. Accordingly, the artificially set feeding time is displayed on the display unit 64 through the operation button 61, and when the time is reached, the geared motor 40 is driven for a predetermined time.

That is, when the user reaches the set time, the microcomputer 62 outputs an electric signal for driving the geared motor 40 for a predetermined time, and the control of the geared motor 40 is programmed in advance in the microcomputer 62. In this embodiment, the predetermined time for driving the geared motor 40 is set to about 5 seconds, which can be adjusted according to the amount of pets to eat at a time. This is described in detail in the operation description.

Next, the operation of the pet food automatic feeding device according to the present invention and the effects thereof will be described.

In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 3, a large amount of food (A) is put into the reservoir 20, the operation time is set to 7 am and 5 pm will be described as an example.

In the state set as described above at 7 am, the microcomputer 62 of the control means 60 supplies a current so that the geared motor 40 is driven, and the feed screw 32 is driven as the geared motor 40 is driven. Rotate

Accordingly, the food A falling into the discharge port 21 is pushed out between the spiral wings 32b and is discharged into the food container 11 through the food chute 50. This food discharge time is performed for a predetermined time set by the user (about 5 seconds in this embodiment).

That is, the geared motor 40 is operated at 7:00 am, which is the time set by the user, so that the appropriate amount of food A is automatically discharged into the feeding container 11, so that the pet can eat it. And when it arrives at 5 pm, such an operation is performed again so that the same amount of food (A) is supplied to the feed container (11).

On the other hand, in the case of a small pet that does not have a large amount of food intake (A) by operating the control means 60 to relatively short drive time of the geared motor 40, in the case of a large pet having a relatively large amount of food intake It is desirable to set a long drive time of the geared motor 40, which can be operated by the user.

As described in detail above, according to the automatic pet food supply device according to the present invention, the geared motor is driven in accordance with the time set by the user, whereby the food stored in the reservoir by the discharge means a predetermined amount to the feed container Supplied. Accordingly, a certain amount of food can be fed to the pet every time, and the user can artificially set the operating time, so there is an advantage that the pet does not have to be entrusted to the animal hospital even when he is away for a long time by going out or on vacation.
