Description

DISPENSADOR DE ALIMENTO PARA ANIMALES ANIMAL FEED DISPENSER
CAMPO TÉCNICO DE LA INVENCIÓN TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención se relaciona con el campo técnico de la mecánica y la electrónica, ya que aporta un dispensador de alimento para animales. The present invention relates to the technical field of mechanics and electronics, since it provides a feed dispenser for animals.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Tener animales como mascota o de crianza representa una gran responsabilidad, ya que implica darle atención, cuidados y satisfacer sus necesidades básicas. Esto puede representar un serio inconveniente para los dueños, pues se requiere de un estricto orden, atención y cumplimiento con los horarios de alimentación. Sin embargo, en la actualidad, donde todos deben atender responsabilidades diarias, no es factible permanecer todo el tiempo al lado del animal para asegurar una alimentación adecuada. Having animals as a pet or breeding represents a great responsibility, since it implies giving them attention, care and meeting their basic needs. This can represent a serious inconvenience for the owners, since it requires a strict order, attention and compliance with the feeding schedules. However, today, where everyone must attend to daily responsibilities, it is not feasible to stay all the time by the animal's side to ensure adequate nutrition.
La mala alimentación de un animal puede desencadenar enfermedades que afectan su metabolismo, así como deteriorarse su desarrollo. Por lo que, en cuestiones de alimentación, se debe garantizar dar las porciones adecuadas de alimento con horarios regulares para el correcto desarrollo. The poor diet of an animal can trigger diseases that affect its metabolism, as well as deteriorate its development. Therefore, in terms of nutrition, it must be guaranteed to give adequate portions of food with regular hours for the correct development.
Hace muchos años que se inventaron los dosificadores automáticos usados sobre todo en el caso de criaderos y animales que pasan una gran parte del día solos. Estos dispositivos ofrecen una gran ventaja, ya que se puede seleccionar la cantidad de alimento y la periodicidad en que el alimento será entregado de forma dosificada al animal, otra de las ventajas, es que las tolvas que almacenan el alimento pueden ser de diferentes tamaños, por lo tanto, no es necesario estar rellenando constantemente. Many years ago, automatic dispensers were invented, used especially in the case of farms and animals that spend a large part of the day alone. These devices offer a great advantage, since you can select the amount of feed and the periodicity in which the feed will be delivered in a dosed way to the animal, another advantage is that the hoppers that store the Food can be of different sizes, therefore, it is not necessary to be constantly refilling.
Existen diferentes tipos de dispensadores de alimentos para animales basados en su funcionamiento, como son los dispensadores de gravedad y los dispensadores automáticos. There are different types of pet food dispensers based on their operation, such as gravity dispensers and automatic dispensers.
El dispensador de alimentos por gravedad utiliza un sencillo mecanismo dispensador que hace que los alimentos para animales caigan automáticamente en el recipiente. Es el tipo de comedero más simple que por lo general es también el más barato, el más fácil de mantener y también muy fácil de usar. The gravity feed dispenser uses a simple dispensing mechanism that automatically drops the pet food into the container. It is the simplest type of feeder that is generally also the cheapest, the easiest to maintain and also very easy to use.
Sus ventajas son las siguientes: Its advantages are as follows:
• Menos tiempo de mantenimiento y puesta en marcha • Less maintenance and commissioning time
• No requiere programación • No programming required
• Normalmente es más barato • It is usually cheaper
Sin embargo, los aspectos negativos son los siguientes:However, the negatives are as follows:
• Acceso sin restricciones a los alimentos • Unrestricted access to food
• Tiempos de alimentación no programados • Unscheduled feeding times
• No es bueno para perros con condiciones de salud especificas • Not good for dogs with specific health conditions
Este tipo de dispensadores de alimentos rellenan el recipiente tan pronto como esté vacío. These types of food dispensers refill the container as soon as it is empty.
Tampoco experimentarás ninguna dificultad técnica, ya que este tipo de comederos carecen de las características de programación que tienen los dispensadores automáticos. La desventaja de este comedero es que puede causar sobrealimentación, lo cual puede derivar en problemas de salud no deseados. El dispensador automático es más caro que el de gravedad. Pemite a los dueños controlar las porciones y las raciones de las comidas que el animal tiene que comer y también establece un programa para dispensar los alimentos. Este tipo de dispensador es programado por el dueño de la mascota para que funcione. You won't experience any technical difficulties either, as these types of feeders lack the scheduling features that automatic dispensers have. The downside to this feeder is that it can cause overfeeding, which can lead to unwanted health problems. The automatic dispenser is more expensive than the gravity one. It allows owners to control the portions and rations of the food that the animal has to eat and also establishes a program to dispense the food. This type of dispenser is programmed by the pet owner to work.
A continuación, se enlistan las principales ventajas: The main advantages are listed below:
• Porciones medidas para el animal • Measured portions for the animal
• Horarios de alimentación exactamente programados • Exactly programmed feeding times
• Ideal para animales con condiciones de salud específicas • Ideal for animals with specific health conditions
• Puede ayudar a prevenir la sobrealimentación y la obesidad • May help prevent overeating and obesity
Sin embargo, también hay desventajas: However, there are also disadvantages:
• Algunos dispensadores automáticos son difíciles de configurar y programar • Some automatic dispensers are difficult to configure and program
• Las máquinas de baja calidad pueden tener una programación defectuosa • Poor quality machines may have faulty programming
• Ligeramente más caro que los de gravedad • Slightly more expensive than gravity
Si quieres tener más control sobre la alimentación del animal, lo mejor sería utilizar un dispensador automático, ya que permite controlar porciones y tiempos. Lo mejor para aquellos dueños que están siempre ocupados, así como para los animales que necesitan controlar su peso. If you want to have more control over the feeding of the animal, it would be best to use an automatic dispenser, since it allows you to control portions and times. Best for busy owners, as well as animals that need to control their weight.
