Description

a pet feeder

technical field

The utility model relates to the technical field of pet supplies, in particular to a pet feeder.

Background technique

With the rapid development of my country's social and economic level, the process of urbanization is accelerating. The living standards of our country's people have been continuously improved, and the pet industry in our country has also developed rapidly. Due to the closedness of urban living standards, personalization and population aging issues continue to emerge. The ways of leisure, consumption and emotional sustenance in people's life also show diversified development. The raising of family pets has become a new way of recreation in urban daily life. The feeding and care of pets are often the most concerned issues of pet owners. At present, pets mainly rely on artificial feeding. However, in today's society, people's work and study are very busy, and when people go out for a long time, there are relatively big problems in the supply of food and water for pets. Especially when people are on a business trip or traveling on vacation, they often cannot take good care of their pets in time, and the diet of pets often becomes a major problem that plagues people.

In order to solve the above technical problems, a new type of pet feeding device designed for this problem in the prior art has played a positive role in the intelligentization of the home, while improving people's life efficiency and fun, it also reduces people's travel. No worries. For the pet feeding device in the existing technical solution, the user can set the time, and then set the feeding amount. The device is like an alarm clock. When the time reaches the time set by the user, the machine will automatically drop out of the pet feeding device set by the user Grain quantity.

However, when the device is used, pet food often vomits a lot of food at one time, which makes many pets easy to gobble up the pet food, and the speed is fast, which directly causes the pet to be unable to digest it, or even vomit. At the same time, the existing pet food usually has irregular particle size and shape. The propeller in the pet feeder is easily stuck by the pet food during the process of moving the pet food. Because the pet food is dry food and is relatively hard, once it gets stuck, it will cause If the pet food cannot fall into the hole and drop into the feeding basin normally, the pet cannot eat normally, and it will cause the motor to run idly.

It can be seen that the existing pet food feeding device still has a low degree of intelligence, cannot feed food in a reasonable amount in time, and cannot effectively solve the problem of food jams. Inventing an improved pet feeder has become a technology in the art. technical problems to be resolved urgently.

When carrying out the grain delivery amount of the feeding device in the current weight state, the rotation information of the propeller or the feeding wheel is obtained, and the rotation information is transmitted to the controller. When the controller stops receiving the rotation information, the control The controller sends a control signal to the motor, controls the motor to reverse, and controls the motor to run normally until the rotation information is received.

In the embodiment of the utility model, it is further specified how to control the pet feeder:

Put and fill the corresponding pet food into the grain storage bucket, set the total weight value of the current round of spitting food, the total time consumed by spitting food, the single spitting amount set by the feeding device, and the amount of food contained in the feeding basin. The maximum weight value and the minimum weight value of the pet food. After the setting is completed, turn on the device and start spitting food. The motor starts to drive the feeding wheel through the deceleration wheel, so that the propeller rotates, and the pet food in the storage tank is moved. When the pet food is moved to the feeding port , falling into the turbine, and then being pushed down by the propeller in the turbine, the pet food slides down to the feeding basin through the food guide trough, and the feeding basin can support the weight of the pet food at this time.

If the user sets a total of 100 grams of food for this wheel within T time, and set the amount of 50 grams of spitting food each time, when the set time needs to be spitting, the motor starts to spitting, and the weight sensor on the feeding basin will Detect changes in the weight of pet food on the food bowl. When the amount of food spit out is about 50 grams, the hardware program directly controls the motor to stop, waiting for the pet to eat. The weight sensor on the feeding bowl continues to detect the pet food on the food bowl. After the weight changes, after the weight becomes stable, the hardware program controls the motor to rotate again and continue to spit out the remaining 50 grams. Effectively prevent pets from vomiting or other symptoms caused by eating too fast and indigestion in the stomach.

During the process of spitting out food, the weight sensor on the feeding basin continues to detect changes in the weight of pet food on the feeding basin. If there is no change in the food basin within a few seconds, it is considered that a food jam event has occurred. At this time, the hardware The program will control the motor to rotate for a few seconds to make the propeller rotate, so as to deal with the food jam event.

It is also possible to arrange a sensor capable of obtaining rotation information on the propeller or the feeding wheel, such as an infrared sensor, a torque sensor, and the like. When the controller stops receiving the rotation information during the grain spitting process, the hardware program will control the motor to rotate for a few seconds to make the propeller rotate, thereby handling the grain jam event. make the utility model
