Description

{A dog feeder with the function of making wet ingredients}

The present invention is a technology related to an automatic feeding machine that provides feed and water to pets such as dogs or cats, and if described in more detail, dry feed and water are discharged in a set amount respectively and provided to pets, as well as a one-touch button. By discharging dry feed and water together, and then soaking the feed in water for a certain period of time, the wet feed is manufactured and provided, which significantly reduces feed costs while sanitizing wet feed and provides it to pets, and has a reservation function. It is a technology related to a dog automatic feeding machine having a function of manufacturing wet food that can provide dry food or wet food to pets while going out or traveling through.

In general, as the number of people raising pets is increasing significantly, conventional pets have been represented by pet dogs, but in recent years, a wide variety of pets, ranging from cats, hamsters, rabbits, ferrets, and reptiles, are being bred. .

Recently, various types of feed have been provided so that various types of pets can be fed. Here, the general feeding method for pets is a method in which a user provides a predetermined amount of feed and water for each meal. , It is a method of providing feed and water to pets using an expensive automatic feeder.

Among recent pets, old dogs or infant dogs without teeth should be fed wet food rather than dry food, but wet food is more expensive than dry food, and most of them are fed dry food by soaking it in water. It takes a long time to soak in water, and the situation is very cumbersome for users every meal.

Therefore, as a typical prior art in which pets can eat in a state of feed porridge mixed with feed and porridge, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1288012 (automatic feeding device for pets) has been proposed.

The prior art includes at least a divided storage unit for water and feed, and a food storage container each having a discharge port for the contents thereof; A feeding tray including a divided feeding unit receiving and receiving water and feed discharged from the feed storage container, and having an overflow means formed on a divided surface between the water feeding unit and the feed feeding unit; A control unit for controlling the amount of water supplied to the water feeding unit so that a part of the water of the water feeding unit flows into the feed feeding unit through the overflow means whenever water is supplied from the water storage unit to the water feeding unit; At least one notification means of an alarm, a speaker, a lamp, and a display unit for informing the pet that the contents have been supplied to the feeding unit of the feeding tray; And a height sensor for sensing the height of the contents inside the wall of the feed feeding part.

In this prior art, a pre-set amount of feed and hot water are discharged to the feeding tray from the food storage container in which pets cannot freely eat, and at the same time, a part of the hot water overflows to the feed feeding section of the feeding tray. This always provides the effect of being eaten in the form of a mixed feed porridge.

However, the automatic feeding device proposed in the prior art can provide feed porridge mixed with feed and porridge to pets, but the user cannot selectively set the mixing amount of feed and water depending on the pet, and hygienic manufacture of wet feed. And there is a problem that it cannot be managed, and it is not possible to select and provide dry food and wet food depending on the pet, and in particular, when the user is out or traveling, wet food cannot be provided to the pet.

Republic of Korea Utility Model Registration No. 20-0173563. Republic of Korea Utility Model Registration No. 20-0311812. Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0310743. Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0423928. Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1288012.
