Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to pet care technology, focusing on a portable, height-adjustable animal feeding stand designed to provide automated feeding and remote surveillance. The device is particularly suitable for elderly or mobility-challenged pets, offering a smart solution that ensures feeding convenience, pet safety, and enhanced animal welfare.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Traditional feeding setups often require manual intervention, which can be challenging for pet owners with busy schedules or mobility constraints. This is particularly problematic for elderly or disabled pets, as they may experience strain during feeding due to conventional bowl heights. Current pet feeders generally lack features such as adjustable height, remote monitoring, and automated feeding, limiting their functionality. Furthermore, there is an increasing demand for pet care solutions that integrate convenience and advanced technology to support pet safety and health. This invention addresses these challenges by introducing a versatile feeding stand with automated feeding, obstacle detection, and remote monitoring capabilities. The system is engineered to enhance the feeding experience for pets while offering pet owners convenience, control, and peace of mind.

The portable and height-adjustable animal feeding stand is designed to support pet care by combining automated feeding, height adjustment, obstacle detection, and remote monitoring. The feeding stand is mounted on wheels, allowing pet owners to move it easily across various locations. The movement mechanism includes wheels capable of both forward-backward and left-right movement, ensuring smooth navigation around the feeding area and enabling flexible positioning.
At the core of the invention is a hydraulic mechanism that adjusts the height of the feeding bowl, catering to pets of different sizes and reducing strain on the pet's neck and joints during feeding. This height adjustability feature is particularly beneficial for elderly or disabled pets, offering a more ergonomic feeding position that enhances their comfort and accessibility. The feeding stand includes a transparent container for storing pet food, allowing owners to monitor food levels easily. The automated feeding system is programmed to dispense food at scheduled times or on-demand, making it highly convenient for pet owners with busy schedules.
To ensure operational safety, the stand is equipped with an infrared/laser sensor that detects obstacles within its movement path. This sensor helps prevent collisions, enabling safe navigation in various environments. Additionally, a built-in camera provides real-time surveillance of the feeding area, allowing pet owners to monitor their pets remotely through a mobile application. The app also provides control over feeding schedules, allows viewing of live video feeds, and shows the device's power levels, enhancing user convenience.
The feeding stand is powered by a rechargeable battery, with a docking station that supports automatic charging when the device is not in use. This feature ensures that the stand remains operational with minimal user intervention. The device is constructed from durable, weather-resistant materials, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Its modular design allows easy assembly and disassembly, enhancing portability and storage flexibility. This innovative pet feeding stand addresses pet care needs comprehensively, offering a convenient and user-friendly solution that promotes animal welfare and supports modern pet care practices.
