As shown in fig. 3, the base 40 has a cavity portion 410. The pocket portion 410 includes a first pocket 411 and a second pocket 412. The second chamber 412 is disposed higher than the first chamber 411. In this application, the bottom wall of the second cavity 412 is higher than the bottom wall of the first cavity 411. The communication passage 413 is provided between the first and second chambers 411 and 412, and communicates the first and second chambers 411 and 412. In this application, the bottom wall of the communication passage 413 is disposed obliquely so that the liquid in the second chamber 412 can flow into the first chamber 411 through the communication passage 413. The first feeding assembly 20 has a first feeding assembly outlet 21. When the second feeding assembly 30 is disposed on the base 40, the first feeding assembly outlet 21 is positioned in the second chamber 412 and communicates with the second chamber 412 such that water contained in the first feeding assembly 20 can flow into the second chamber 412. The second feeding assembly 30 is for containing a liquid medicine and has a second feeding assembly outlet 31. The second feeding assembly outlet 31 is located in the communication passage 413. In the present application, the second feeding assembly outlet 31 is provided on a side wall of the communication passage 413 so that the medicine water contained in the second feeding assembly 30 can flow into the second chamber 412. In the first cavity 411, water can be mixed with the medicinal liquid, thereby forming a mixture of water and the medicinal liquid.

As shown in fig. 3, the base 40 further has a first opening 421 communicating with the first cavity 411. And the first feeding assembly is communicated with the atmosphere to automatically supplement water. The first opening 421 is located at the upper surface of the base 40 and at a first height. The first height is set to facilitate the animal's ability to drink the liquid (e.g., water and/or medicinal liquid and/or a mixture of water and medicinal liquid) contained in the first compartment 411 after lowering the head.

As shown in fig. 4, the base 40 also has a second opening 422 in communication with the second cavity 412. The second opening 422 is located at the upper surface of the base 40 and at a second height. The second height is higher than the first height. The second height is configured to receive a portion of the second feeding assembly 30 and prevent the second feeding assembly 30 from tipping in the second cavity 412. The second chamber 412 is substantially cylindrical. The bottom of the second chamber 412 is provided with a protrusion 43 for cooperation with the second feeding assembly 30. Specifically, the protruding portion 43 protrudes upward from the bottom surface of the second chamber 412.

As shown in fig. 5-7, the first feeding assembly 20 includes a cap 22, a valve 23, and a water container 50. The cover 22 is detachably connected to the water container 50. The water container 50 is for containing water. In this application, the water container 50 is a bottle. Such as a drinking water bottle. The cover 22 can be detachably connected to the water container 50 and can cover the opening of the water container 50. For example, the inner side wall of the cover 22 and the outer side wall of the opening of the water container 50 are provided with threads so that the cover 22 can be screwed on the water container 50 or unscrewed from the water container 50. The cover 22 is provided with a first feeding assembly outlet 21. A valve 23 is movably disposed on the cover 22 and is configured to block or release the first feeding assembly outlet 21. When the valve 23 blocks the first feeding assembly outlet 21, water can be contained in the water reservoir 50. As one example, after filling the water container 50, the user connects the cover 22 to the water container 50. The valve 23 now blocking the first feeding assembly outlet 21 allows the user to place the water container 50 as desired (e.g., flat or inverted) without fear of water in the water container 50 spilling.

As shown in fig. 6, the cover 22 includes a partition 221 and a circumferential portion 222. The circumferential portion 222 is generally annular. The spacer 221 is disposed transversely intermediate the circumferential portion 222, and is connected to the circumferential portion 222. The first feeding assembly outlet 21 is provided on the partition 221 and penetrates the partition 221 so that water located at an upper portion of the partition 221 can flow into a lower portion of the partition 221. The first feeding assembly outlet 21 is circular. The bottom of the circumferential portion 222 is provided with a cover communication opening 224 so that water located at the lower portion of the partition 221 can flow into the second chamber 412 when the cover 22 is disposed on the base 40.

As shown in fig. 7, valve 23 includes an associated needle 231 and seal 232. Thimble 231 includes a thimble bottom 251 and a thimble body 252. The thimble bottom 251 is disposed below the thimble body 252 and is connected to the thimble body 252. Both the spike bottom 251 and the spike body 252 are cylindrical, and the spike bottom 251 has a diameter greater than the spike body 252.

As shown in fig. 7, the seal 232 is generally annular. Seal 232 is disposed over spike body 252 and is coupled to spike 231. The seal 232 is generally inverted frustoconical in cross-section. That is, the seal 232 has an inclined abutment surface 233. The valve 23 is movable relative to the cover 22 and has a sealing position and an open position. When the valve 23 is in the sealing position, the abutment surface 233 of the seal 232 abuts the edge of the first feeding assembly outlet 21, and the seal 232 blocks the first feeding assembly outlet 21. When the valve 23 is in the open position, the abutment surface 233 of the seal 232 is separated from the edge of the first feeding assembly outlet 21, and the seal 232 releases the first feeding assembly outlet 21.

As shown in fig. 7, the first feeding assembly further comprises a resilient member 24. The resilient member 24 is configured to move the valve 23 from the open position to the sealing position. As one example, the elastic member 24 is a spring. The spring is disposed between the spike bottom 251 and the seal 232 and is sleeved on the spike body 252.

When the valve 23 and the elastic member 24 are assembled in place on the cover 22, as shown in fig. 8, the lower end of the spring abuts against the ejector pin bottom 251, and the upper end of the spring abuts against the partition 221 of the cover 22. Thus, the elastic member 24 can maintain the valve 23 in the sealing position when the cover 22 is connected with the water container 50.

When the first feeding assembly is set in place on the base 40, as shown in fig. 9, the interconnected water containers 50 are positioned above, the cover 22 is positioned below, and the projection 43 on the base 40 abuts the bottom of the spike 231 of the valve 23, thereby causing the valve 23 to be in the open position. The abutment surface 233 of the seal 232 is separated from the edge of the first feeding assembly outlet 21 and the seal 232 releases the first feeding assembly outlet 21. The water in the water container 50 can sequentially pass through the first feeding assembly outlet 21, the second container 412 and the communication passage 413 and then enter the first container 411, so that the animal drinks the liquid contained in the first container 411 through the first opening 421.

Furthermore, the animal feeding device is further configured to: the height of the side wall of the first cavity 411 is greater than the height of the top of the lid communication opening 224 when the first feeding assembly is set in place on the base 40, so that the level of liquid in the first cavity 411 can clear the lid communication opening 224 after the first feeding assembly is set on the base 40 for a period of time. Specifically, when the first feeding assembly is just disposed on the base 40, air enters the water container 50 through the cover communication opening 224 and the first feeding assembly outlet 21, so that water in the water container 50 sequentially passes through the first feeding assembly outlet 21, the cover communication opening 224, the second containing cavity 412 and the communication passage 413 and then enters the first containing cavity 411, and the water level in the first containing cavity 411 continuously rises until the water level in the first containing cavity 411 is over the cover communication opening 224. Whereby air can no longer enter the water container 50 and water in the water container 50 can no longer flow out. When the animal drinks the liquid contained in the first container 411, the water level in the first container 411 drops until the water level in the first container 411 is lower than the top of the cover communication opening 224, and air again enters the water container 50, so that the water in the water container 50 flows out to the first container 411. Thus, the first feeding assembly achieves automatic replenishment of the first chamber 411.

As shown in fig. 2, the second feeding assembly 30 includes a drug tank 32, a delivery tube 33, and a switch device 34. The medicine tank 32 is provided on the vertical plate 11 and is configured to contain a medicine liquid. The delivery tube 33 communicates between the drug reservoir 32 and the second chamber 412. Specifically, the delivery tube 33 has a first end and a second end. The first end of the delivery tube 33 communicates with the medical kit 32. The second end of the delivery tube 33 is the second feeding assembly outlet 31. A switching device 34 is provided on the delivery tube 33 and is configured to control the connection and disconnection of the delivery tube 33. In other words, the switching device 34 has an on state and an off state. When the switch device 34 is in the on state, the first end of the delivery tube 33 is in communication with the second end of the delivery tube 33, and the liquid medicine in the liquid medicine tank 32 can flow through the first end of the delivery tube 33 to the second feeding assembly outlet 31, thereby flowing into the second chamber 412. In the second chamber 412, the medicinal fluid is capable of mixing with water located in the second chamber 412 to form a medicinal fluid and water mixture. Animals ingest the drug by drinking the mixture. When the switch device 34 is in the off state, the first end of the delivery tube 33 flows and the second end of the delivery tube 33 is disconnected, and the liquid medicine cannot flow through the first end of the delivery tube 33 to the second feeding assembly outlet 31.

As one example, the switching device 34 in the present application is a peristaltic pump. When the peristaltic pump is activated, the switching device 34 is in an open state. When the peristaltic pump is off, the switching device 34 is in the off state.

Although in the embodiments of the present application the second feeding assembly is shown to include the switch device 34, in other examples the second feeding assembly may not include the switch device 34, but rather the liquid medicine may be filled into the tank 32 by a person when it is desired to feed the animal.

The foregoing embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles of the present application and their effectiveness, and are not intended to limit the application. Modifications and variations may be made to the above-described embodiments by those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Accordingly, it is intended that all equivalent modifications and variations which may be accomplished by persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical spirit of the disclosure be covered by the claims of this application.
