Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an animal feed cooker and is intended to assist the user in cooking food for pets such as dogs and cats. Apparatuses for cooking livestock feed are known in the prior art, such as, for example, the one described in US Pat. On the other hand, this system has the disadvantage that it can only provide food in particular in solid form, which may not be suitable for certain animals. U.S. Pat. No. 8,511,519 1 is a side view of a mixing paddle designed to be received in the mixing chamber of a cooker according to the invention; FIG.Figure 2 shows the mixing pad of Figure 1 viewed according to direction II of Figure 1;Figure 2 shows the mixing pad of Figure 1 viewed according to direction III of Figure 1;2 is a cross-sectional view of the mixing pad of FIG. 1 according to axis IV-IV of FIG. 1; FIG.Figure 2 shows the mixing paddle of Figure 1 positioned in the mixing chamber of the cooker according to the invention;Figure 5b shows a pot forming part of the mixing chamber of Figure 5a;Figure 5b is a perspective view of an animal feed cooker according to the invention containing the mixing chamber of Figure 5a;Figure 7 is a cross-sectional view of the animal feed cooker of Figure 6;FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the housing of the cooker of FIG. 6 as seen from the bottom side;Figure 7 is a perspective view of the dispensing area of the animal feed cooker of Figure 6;Figure 7 is a rear view of the animal feed cooker of Figure 6;Figure 7 is an exploded view of the animal feed cooker of Figure 6;Figure 7 is a detailed view of the removable cartridge of the animal feed cooker of Figure 6; 6, 10, 11 and 12 are external views of a cooker 500 according to the present invention, including a body supported by brackets 401, which also support food containers (eg, bowls, etc.) 401. there is Figure 10 shows that the body can be positioned in different positions relative to the bracket 401 so that the height between the body and the food container 400 can be adjusted according to the size of the animal to be fed. For this reason, the bracket 401 is provided with a plurality of holes so that screws can be screwed into the threaded holes of the main body at appropriate heights. Brackets 401, for example, are secured to the wall so that cooker 500 and food container 400 are held in place. FIG. 11 shows that the cooker 500 has a liquid reservoir 800, removable, for the purpose of forming and distributing into the food container 400 a bait in the form of a mash mixed with at least one liquid (such as water) and dry feed. It shows that it can removably receive several elements, including the cartridge 610 and the mixing chamber 200. Alternatively, the main body of the cooker 500 may be provided with a tray 410 to act as a storage means for dry feed. Cooker 500 can also removably receive removable cartridge 610 and its support 611, a very simple assembly of which is shown in FIG. In practice, the removable cartridge 610 contains food supplements to be included in the food ingredients as desired. Removable cartridge 610 can be attached to support 611, and the subassembly can be snap-fitted or inserted into the body of cooker 500 over the mixing chamber to produce a defined amount of food, as described below. Supplements have become readily available for inclusion in animal feed rations. FIG. 1 shows a mixing paddle 100 designed to be received in the mixing chamber 200 of a cooker 500 according to the invention, comprising a first eccentric arm 110 and a second eccentric arm 120, both of which is eccentric with respect to the rotation axis 150 . When used in the animal feed cooker 500 , the mixing paddle rotates about the axis of rotation 150 . In practice, the mixing paddle 100 serves as the mixing chamber 200 (FIGS. 5a, 6, 6) of the animal feed cooker 500 (seen in FIG. 6) for the purpose of mixing the food material therein, which serves as dry feed, with liquid. 7 and FIG. 11). To do so, the dry feed is first mixed with a liquid such as water, then the mixture is kneaded to obtain a uniform paste, which is then dispensed into animal-accessible food containers 400 (seen in FIG. 6). , it can be seen that the mixing paddle 100 is driven in rotation about the axis of rotation 150 so that the animal can consume the freshly cooked feed. Returning to FIG. 1, each eccentric arm 110 and 120 has a first portion 110a and 120a, respectively, that is inclined with respect to a plane containing the axis of rotation 150 such that when the mixing paddle rotates in a first direction of rotation, mixing Food material contained in the chamber is adapted to move in a first axial direction (direction II in FIG. 1). Advantageously, the first portions 110a and 120a are helically shaped so as to form a screw conveyor. In this manner, when the mixing paddles rotate in a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction, the first portions 110a and 120a cause
