Abstract
A pet feeder includes a base, a food tank and a driving mechanism; the driving mechanism is fixedly connected to the base and movably connected to outer circumferential wall of the food tank, and is used for supporting the food tank and driving the food tank to rotate; a food discharging assembly is arranged in the food tank; when the driving mechanism drives the food tank to rotate, pet foods in the food tank can be outputted to outside of the food tank by the food discharging assembly. The driving mechanism drives the food tank to rotate; rotation of the food tank is accompanied with food output, thus foods in the food tank can be overturned and mixed with each discharging, which avoids problems of sticking and caking and unsmooth discharging of foods at inner top of the food tank of an existing pet feeder due to long-term standing.
