DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(5) Hereinafter a further detailed description will be given to the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

(6) As is shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, a fun pet feeder, comprises a shell 1, wherein the shell 1 can be made from plastic; a cavity 3 for housing food 2 is provided in an upper part of the shell 1, and the food 2 is enclosed in the cavity 3; a food sliding area 4 is provided at a lower part of the shell 1; a leaky channel 5 that can be opened and closed is provided between the cavity 3 and the food sliding area 4, and the food 2 passes the leaky channel 5 to the food sliding area 4; an elastic part 6 is provided in the cavity 3, wherein flexibility of the elastic part 6 is provided by springs 11; a feedstuff outlet 7 is provided at a lower part of the cavity 3, with a lower end of the elastic part 6 resting in the feedstuff outlet 7, and feedstuff outlet dents 8 are provided at the lower end of the elastic part 6; when the elastic part 6 is in an initial position, the feedstuff outlet dents 8 are immediately above the feedstuff outlet 7, so the leaky channel is closed, and the food cannot enter the food sliding area 4 through the feedstuff outlet dents 8; and when the elastic part 6 is pressed and goes downwards, the feedstuff outlet dents 8 enter the feedstuff outlet 7, so the leaky channel is opened, and the food can enter the food sliding area 4 via the feedstuff outlet dents 8. By pressing the elastic part 6, the pet can get feedstuff, which makes pet feeding interesting.

(7) As is shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, a pressing part 9 is provided on an upper part of the shell 1, and the pressing part 9 is connected with the elastic part 6; and when the pet presses the pressing part 9, the elastic part 6 goes down, and when the pet releases the pressing part 9, the elastic part 6 resumes to the initial position. The elastic part 6 comprises a pillar 10 and springs 11, the springs 11 are provided to an outer side of the pillar 10, and the pillar 10 is vertically provided in the cavity 3. In this manner, the elastic part 6 can be resumed to the initial position, for the pet to repeat pressing and releasing operations. A barrier 12 is provided in an upper part of each of the feedstuff outlet dents 8, and the barrier 12 is configured to prevent too much feedstuff from entering the feed outlet 7 in one time, which may result in waste of the feedstuff. The pressing part 9 is provided at a central position on an upper surface of the shell 1, and by providing the pressing part 9 in the central position; the pet can easily press the pressing part 9. A panel 13 surrounding the pressing part 9 is provided to be inclining towards the pressing part 9, and with the inclining panel 13, the pet is led to press the pressing part 9. The elastic part 6 is vertically provided in a central position of the cavity 3 and engagement portions of the feedstuff outlet dents 8 and the feedstuff outlet 7 are provided in the central position of the cavity 3 too, in this way, the feedstuff 2 inside the cavity 3 can fall into the feedstuff outlet 7 uniformly. A plurality of sliding channels 14 and a plurality of sliding boards 15 are provided in the food sliding area 4, so the feedstuff 2 slides outwards along the plurality of sliding boards 15, and falling feedstuff 2 slides outwards automatically. A plurality of feedstuff openings 16 are provided in the food sliding area 4, each of the plurality of feedstuff openings 16 is provided in a tail end of each of the sliding boards 15, and the feedstuff is conveyed outside along the sliding boards 15 through the plurality of feedstuff openings 16. The plurality of feedstuff openings 16 are provided to be four, respectively provided at circumferential sides of the shell 1. Pushing blocks 17 for pushing the feedstuff into the feedstuff outlet dents 8 are provided at an outer side of the elastic part 6, to prevent the feedstuff from being stuck in upper sides of the feedstuff outlet dents 8. Guiding plates 18 inclining towards the feedstuff outlet 7 are provided in a lower part of the cavity 3, and the feedstuff outlet 7 is provided at lowermost parts of the guiding plates 18, to promise all feedstuff 2 can enter the feedstuff outlet 7 along the guiding plates 18.

(8) In the foregoing paragraphs, a detailed introduction is given to the fun pet feeder provided in the present invention, while some examples are used to describe principles and embodiments of the present invention, the description given to the examples is only intended to help understanding the present invention and core spirit thereof. It shall be noted that, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it is possible to make some improvements and modifications to the present invention without departing from principles of the present invention and all these improvements and modifications fall into protection scope of the present invention.
