Description

Technical area

The present invention relates to a feeding device for skin bulls.

State of the art

With the increase in living standards, pets are kept in an increasing number of families in modern society, and because of the fast pace of life, many pet owners can not feed their pets during working hours or travel, so feed is usually provided in a food container before departure. In this case, the pets are prone to overeating and drinking and thus a regular diet is not possible, which easily leads to indigestion of pets and thus affects their health, what the pet owners to worry. In spite of the availability of numerous pet feeding devices commercially, problems such as e.g. Inability to feed automatically for several consecutive days, as well as sticking food so pets can not get the necessary daily food.

For this purpose, an automatic feeding device for pets has been developed, which allows a timed, metered feed delivery, automatic feeding for several consecutive days and the avoidance of stuck fodder. However, in existing pet feeding machines, the reservoir is usually located above the main body and separately, so pets may often overturn the reservoir located above the main body as they play around and forage, thereby rendering automatic feed delivery via the automatic feed dispenser impossible. moreover, in an existing automatic feed dispenser, the auger sleeve is usually arranged horizontally, which could easily lead to sticking of feed to the outlet opening of the automatic feed dispenser and accumulation of feed at one location, in which case after overfilling the dispensed feed on the floor is spilled and thus affects the environment hygiene.

Content of the invention

The present invention has for its object, in view of the prior art to provide a pet feeding device in which the repositioning of the reservoir is largely prevented.

According to the invention the object is achieved by a pet feeding device comprising a housing having an outlet on one side and in which an automatic feed dispenser is provided which has an inlet opening and an outlet opening, which outlet opening is connected to the outlet of the housing, wherein the inlet opening of the automatic feed dispenser device is connected to a storage container and below the outlet on one side of the housing a feed plate is provided, characterized in that the storage container is also disposed within the housing and is located above the automatic feed dispenser, wherein in the uppermost region of the Housing an opening is formed, on which an upper lid is provided.

To avoid sticking out of the automatic feed dispenser dispensed feed to the outlet opening the outlet opening of the automatic feed dispenser is connected via an obliquely downwardly disposed conveyor tube with the outlet of the housing, so that the obliquely downwardly disposed conveyor tube provides a run-out, the falling of Forage on the foremost point and the middle area of the feeding dish better.

In a further improvement, it is provided that the worm sleeve is arranged obliquely within the housing and the first opening at the end of the worm sleeve is lower in height than the second opening, wherein moreover the outlet of the housing is lower in height than the first opening at the end the worm sleeve is located.

In a further improvement, it is provided that the feed plate has a bottom and a comprises circumferentially provided on the bottom side wall, on which a snap closure is provided, wherein the housing on the side in which the outlet opening is arranged, a recess is provided, in the inner wall of a latching hole is formed, wherein the snap closure on the feed plate in the Snap-in bore of the housing snaps, so that when eating for pets, the feed plate does not detach from the housing and thus an undesirable shift is largely excluded, which affects the feeding for pets.

In a further improvement it is provided that within the housing further a control circuit system for effecting a timed, metered feed delivery by the automatic feeder and a screen and a control knob, which are connected to the control circuit system, are provided, wherein within the housing also a battery assembly are provided for powering the control circuit system and a power connector socket.

Compared to the prior art, in the present invention, a refilling of the reservoir is largely prevented and facilitated the refilling with feed by the reservoir is disposed within the housing and above the automatic feed dispenser, wherein provided in the uppermost portion of the housing, an opening and an upper lid are.
