  • Patent number: 11457608
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a feeding apparatus, which includes an ejection mechanism, a motion sensor and a control module. The ejection mechanism includes a motor unit and a push rod unit. When the motion sensor detects the movement of the push rod unit, the motion sensor sends a motion signal. The control module includes a driving unit and a timing unit. The driving unit drives the motor unit turning forward and turning reverse. The timing unit stores a predetermined time. When the timing unit receives an action signal, the timing unit starts timing and sends a forward signal to the driving unit to drive the motor unit turning forward. When the timing unit determines that it has exceeded the predetermined time without receiving the action signal, the timing unit sends a reverse signal to the driving unit to drive the motor unit turning reverse.
