Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0038] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0039] FIG. 1 is a perspective vies of the present invention.

[0040] FIG. 2 is a section vies of the present invention.

[0041] FIG. 3 is a section vies of the crushing device.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0042] As shown in FIG. 1, the pet feeder is composed of three main parts, namely a food processor, a storage container and a feeder.

[0043] The food processor consists of a food crushing device 5 and a stirring device 6, which are mainly composed of the meat mixing part and a meat stirring part which mixing with nutritional additives. The preparation of the fresh meal is carried out by the food crushing device 5 to crushing the fresh meat, which consists of a feed screw 51 and a crushing cutter set 52 at the end of the feed screw 51; the fresh meat is fed into the feed screw 51, which is then pushed to the crushing cutter set 52 at a set speed to cut and chop the fresh meat. By setting the speed of the feed screw 51, the degree of mincing of the meat can be adjusted, slow speed means finer minced meat, fast speed means bigger meat. In the mixing section, there is a nutritional powder input port, which will quantitatively feed the nutritional powder into the food mixing device 5 and mixing device 6, and then pump in the appropriate amount of water to mix with the minced meat. In order to further mix the crushing meat with the nutritional additives, a plurality of stirring sticks 7 are also provided in the stirring device 6.

[0044] The storage container consists of two parts, the fresh storage container 1 and the preheated storage container 2. The fresh storage container 1 is provided with a refrigeration device 3, and the preheated storage container 2 is provided with a heating device 4. The refrigeration device 3 and heating device 4 include pipelines 31, 41 respectively connected to a cold end and a hot end of a compressor air conditioner 12.

[0045] The stirred fresh meat is pushed into the fresh storage container 1. Since the fresh meat will be prone to spoilage and bacterial growth in the high temperature and air environment, it is necessary to realize the sealing and refrigeration of the fresh storage container 1. So, gates 10, 11 are provided at the inlet and outlet of the fresh storage container 1, respectively, to seal the fresh storage container 1. When all the fresh meat is fed into the fresh storage container 1, the gates 10, 11 of the fresh storage container 1 will be closed, and then the air will be extracted from the container by a pump to maintain a vacuum inside. An air pressure sensor is provided to monitoring the pressure whether it reaches the set air pressure value, then the pump will be shut down. Once the air pressure of the fresh storage container 1 changes, the pump will turn on to maintain the air pressure of the fresh storage container 1 at the set value.

[0046] In addition, to keep the temperature inside the fresh storage container 1 appropriately low so as to maintain the freshness of the fresh meat, the refrigeration device 3 is provided, which is condenser (or other refrigeration device) and a refrigeration medium. The pipeline 31 of the refrigeration device 3 surrounds the container with refrigeration medium flow inside, thus cools down the fresh storage container 1. The temperature of the fresh storage container 1 is controlled at 4-5 C. by setting a temperature inside to achieve the proper storage temperature to minimize the growth of bacteria. The spiral stirring paddle of the fresh storage container 1 is rotated at regular intervals so that the fresh meat inside can be stirred properly.

[0047] When it is time to feed, the air valve in the fresh storage container 1 is opened to allow the air pressure inside to return to normal. And by the rotation of the spiral stirring paddle, the machine will automatically squeeze the preset portion of fresh meat from the fresh storage container 1 to the preheated storage container 2, while the heating device 4, specifically the heat energy released by the refrigeration device 3, heats up the preheated storage container 2 by the pipeline 41 surrounding the preheated storage container 2 and flowing with heat medium inside to thaw the fresh meat food. The temperature of the preheated storage container 2 is controlled by a temperature sensor inside the preheated storage container 2, and the fresh meat food is then heated up to a suitable temperature.

[0048] At a preset time, the gate of the preheated storage container 2 will be opened and the fresh meat will fall onto the feeding tray 8 of the feeder, and the pets will be able to eat from the feeding tray 8, thus achieving the purpose of fresh meat feeding. And there is a weight sensor 9 at the bottom of the feeding tray 8 to record the amount and time of the meal. This allows the pet owner to know the eating habit of the pet.
