Directional feeders having a feed slide, a feed pocket and multiple flappers on a rotor are disclosed. The rotor may be configured to have a horizontal axis of rotation such that gravity conveys feed down the feed slide to a feed pocket which redirects the feed into a rotor housing.

The present invention provides a vacuum fresh-keeping feeder with a replaceable food bucket, relating to the technical field of pet feeders. The vacuum fresh-keeping feeder includes: an accommodating bucket; a discharge assembly, where the discharge assembly is connected to the accommodating bucket, and when the discharge assembly stops working, the accommodating bucket is kept in a sealed state; and a vacuum apparatus, where the vacuum apparatus is disposed on the accommodating bucket, and the vacuum apparatus is configured to draw air in the accommodating bucket. A connector is disposed between the discharge assembly and the accommodating bucket. According to the foregoing technical solution, the vacuum fresh-keeping feeder with a replaceable food bucket has the advantage that pet food in the feeder can be stored for a longer time by vacuum treatment.

The present invention provides a variable-capacity pet feeder, relating to the technical field of pet feeders. The pet feeder includes: an accommodating bucket; a discharge assembly, where the discharge assembly communicates with the accommodating bucket; and expansion buckets, where a plurality of expansion buckets are provided, the plurality of expansion buckets are disposed at an end of the accommodating bucket away from the discharge assembly, and the expansion buckets communicate with the accommodating bucket. One detachment member is disposed at each of joints of adjacent expansion buckets and the accommodating bucket. The detachment member includes a clamping block and a clamping slot for clamping the clamping block. According to the foregoing technical solution, the variable-capacity pet feeder has the advantages of having an arbitrarily variable feeder capacity, facilitating food storage convenience, and being easy to change, simple and practical.

A timed or remotely operated wildlife feeder which delivers feed such as whole fruit and nuts by emptying feed storage containers into a chute to deliver feed using potential energy and gravity instead of kinetically broadcasting the feed.

A drop tube for providing food to an animal in a milking stable, the drop tube configured to receive food from a food container arranged vertically above the drop tube and to deliver the received food into a food manger, the drop tube including a tubular connection section to connect to a food container, a tubular mid-section with a first end connected to the connection section, and a tubular end section connected to a second end of the tubular mid-section, the tubular end section having a centre axis and presenting an opening in a tubular wall portion of the tubular end section, and the tubular end section has an end wall which is intersected by the centre axis of the tubular end section.

The present invention provides an anti-stuck pet feeder, which includes a shell and a top cover, the shell has in a cavity. Its bottom of the shell is provided with an outlet. The upper part of the cavity is provided with a grain storage chamber, the lower part of the cavity is provided with a driving mechanism. The lower part of the grain storage chamber is provided with a rotor. The rotor includes a shaft and a main body arranged on the shaft, the side wall of the main body is uniformly distributed with blades. The grain storage chamber is provided with a grain-out channel below the blades, which communicates with the outlet. The driving mechanism is connected with the rotor and drives it to rotate, and the grain stored in the grain storage chamber is transported to the grain-out channel and fed through the outlet.

An animal feed mechanism with feed agitator assembly includes a feed bin, a funnel-shaped boot attached to a bottom of the feed bin, an agitator system installed in the boot, and a conveying device for conveying feed out of the boot. The agitator system is installed using boot mount brackets attached to end walls of the boot, and holes cut in the sidewalls of the boot after the boot mount brackets are attached. The boot mount brackets each include a lower ledge with a sufficient length to block the free flow of feed out of the holes cut in the sidewalls of the boot due to the angle of repose of the feed. The agitator system includes a motor driven agitator shaft with radial projections that can be inserted through the holes cut in the boot and supported at each end by bearings attached to the boot mount brackets.

A material flow assist mechanism for a feed hopper using a vertically aligned rotating auger includes a frame, the frame having a pair of spaced apart first and second telescoping arms attached to frame, and a connector to link a shaft of a motor to the auger for auger and material flow assist mechanism rotation. Each of first and second telescoping arms have an elongated member mounted to a plate-containing end portion of each respective first and second telescoping arms. Rotation of the material flow assist mechanism by the motor rotates the first and second elongated members for material dispensing out a hopper. Dispensing of the material from the hopper results in extension of portions of the first and second telescoping arms such that the elongated members and plate travel with a top portion of the material as the top portion of the material in the hopper descends during dispensing.

A feeding device includes a base, a storage barrel, a hopper, a blocking door and a ratchet turning wheel. The storage barrel is disposed above the base, and a collecting passage is extended from the bottom of the storage barrel. A discharge port is disposed on the collecting passage. The hopper is accommodated in the collecting passage. The blocking door shields the discharge port. The ratchet turning wheel is installed on the base and disposed below the hopper. The ratchet turning wheel includes a wheel and ratchet teeth arranged annularly on the periphery of the wheel. An outer periphery of the ratchet teeth abuts against the hopper to push the hopper to move up or down. The wheel is extended with a lever to open the blocking door. Therefore, the feed may be filled in the collecting channel, and the feeding device has the effect of quantitative feeding.
