[0002] As our human companions, pets are a source of happiness and healthy life. Communication with pets can make the lives of the elderly more fulfilling, help young people reduce stress in life and improve work efficiency, and cultivate children's sense of responsibility and social interaction skills. In summary, keeping pets can make our lives healthier and more fulfilling.

[0003] The cold season is a severe test for them. The quality of the cold-proof and warm-keeping measures for pets will directly affect the physical health of pets. The existing cold-proof and warm-keeping measures for pets are all pet boxes or pet mats with heating functions, which are less flexible. In addition, in winter, the sun during the day will bring heat energy, and the direction of sunlight will be different at different times. If the pet box or pet mat cannot be moved to different places according to the changes in sunlight, it cannot use the heat energy of the environment and can only be heated by itself, which consumes a lot of energy. Summary of the invention

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a pet robot control method, chip and robot. The pet robot of the present application moves to the sun during the day to use the sun to heat the pet. When the robot is in the dark, it generates heat to heat the pet. The robot has high flexibility and saves energy. The specific technical solutions of the present invention are as follows:

[0006] Furthermore, if the pet robot detects through the pressure sensor that the pressure signal is less than the pressure threshold, the heating module and the temperature sensor are controlled to stop working.

[0007] Furthermore, the pet robot sets a daytime working position based on the light intensity and temperature of the environment, including the following steps: the pet robot moves randomly or in a set manner in the room, and detects the light intensity of the environment through an illuminance sensor during the movement; if the pet robot detects that the light intensity at the current position is greater than the light intensity threshold, the ambient temperature of the current position is detected, and if the ambient temperature of the current position is greater than the second temperature threshold, the current position is marked; after the pet robot obtains several marked positions, the marked position with the largest light intensity is selected from the marked positions as the daytime working position, and is saved.

[0008] Furthermore, the pet robot sets its night working position based on the light intensity and temperature of the environment, including the following steps: the pet robot moves randomly or in a set manner in the room, and detects the ambient temperature through a temperature sensor during the movement; if the ambient temperature at the current position is greater than a second temperature threshold, the current position is marked; after the pet robot obtains several marked positions, the marked position with the highest temperature is selected from the marked positions as the night working position, and saves it.

[0009] Furthermore, the set movement mode includes the following steps: the pet robot moves in the room using a bow-shaped walking method, and detects the light intensity or temperature of the environment at set distances.

[0010] Furthermore, the pet robot moves in a set direction until the light sensor detects that the light intensity of the environment is greater than or equal to the light intensity threshold, including the following steps: the pet robot obtains the moving direction of the sunlight projected on the floor of the room in advance, and then the pet robot moves based on the moving direction until the light sensor detects that the light intensity of the environment is greater than or equal to the light intensity threshold, and the pet robot stops moving.

[0011] Furthermore, if the pet robot does not detect a position where the ambient light intensity is greater than or equal to a light intensity threshold after moving in a set direction, the pet robot moves to a daytime working position.

[0016] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a pet robot control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described below are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, a pet robot control method, the light intensity threshold, the first temperature threshold and the second temperature threshold described in this application can be set according to the weather, climate, region, etc. during actual use, and the values ​​are not unique, wherein the magnitude of the second temperature threshold and the first temperature threshold is not limited. The method comprises the following steps:

[0019] The pet robot has a daytime working mode and a nighttime working mode, and switches back and forth between the daytime working mode and the nighttime working mode according to the set time; wherein the daytime working position is the starting working position of the pet robot set based on the light intensity and temperature of the environment, and the nighttime working position is the starting working position of the pet robot set based on the temperature of the environment. The pet robot sets the daytime working position based on the light intensity and temperature of the environment, including the following steps: the pet robot moves randomly or in a set manner in the room, and detects the light intensity of the environment through an illuminance sensor during the movement; if the pet robot detects that the light intensity of the current position is greater than the light intensity threshold, the ambient temperature of the current position is detected, and if the ambient temperature of the current position is greater than the second temperature threshold, the current position is marked; after the pet robot obtains several marked positions, the marked position with the largest light intensity is selected from the marked positions as the daytime working position, which can also be the position with the smallest ratio of temperature to light intensity, and is saved. The pet robot sets the working position at night based on the light intensity and temperature of the environment, including the following steps: the pet robot moves randomly or in a set manner in the room, and detects the ambient temperature through a temperature sensor during the movement; if the ambient temperature of the current position is greater than the second temperature threshold, the current position is marked; after the pet robot obtains several marked positions, it selects the marked position with the highest temperature from the marked positions as the working position at night and saves it. The distance between each position must be greater than the set distance, and it will be saved after recording, and there is no need to re-mark the position when it is used next time. The movement in the set manner includes the following steps: the pet robot moves in the room using a bow-shaped walking method, and detects the light intensity or temperature of the environment at set distances.

[0020] As one embodiment, when the pet robot is in the daytime working mode, the pet robot moves to the daytime working position, and detects the light intensity of the environment through the light intensity sensor, then calls the pet through voice, and starts the pressure sensor to detect the pressure signal; if the light intensity of the environment is less than the light intensity threshold, it indicates that the current robot is not under the sun, and the robot needs to move to the sun, then the pet robot moves in the set direction until the light intensity sensor detects that the light intensity of the environment is greater than or equal to the light intensity threshold. The pet robot moves in the set direction until the light intensity sensor detects that the light intensity of the environment is greater than or equal to the light intensity threshold, including the following steps: the pet robot obtains the moving direction of the sunlight projected on the floor of the room in advance, and then the pet robot moves based on the moving direction until the light intensity sensor detects that the light intensity of the environment is greater than or equal to the light intensity threshold, and the pet robot stops moving. The robot can obtain the moving direction of the sunlight in advance, so that it can quickly move to the sun, or move according to the direction of sunlight. If the pressure signal is greater than or equal to the pressure threshold, the pet robot detects the ambient temperature through the temperature sensor, and if the ambient temperature is less than the first temperature threshold, the pet robot sets the heating time for the pet rest platform at a time interval through the heating module. If the pet robot moves in the set direction and does not detect a position where the ambient light intensity is greater than or equal to the light intensity threshold, the pet robot moves to the daytime working position. When no sunlight is detected, it is possible that the sunlight no longer shines into the room. At this time, the robot can move to a place with a higher temperature. The ambient temperature of the marked positions meets the requirements, and in order to avoid the robot from recording too many positions, it moves directly to the starting position.

[0021] As one embodiment, when the pet robot is in the night working mode, the pet robot moves to the night working position, then calls the pet by voice, and starts the pressure sensor to detect the pressure signal; if the pressure signal is greater than the pressure threshold, the pet robot detects the ambient temperature through the temperature sensor, and if the ambient temperature is less than the first temperature threshold, the pet robot sets the heating time for the pet resting platform at a time interval through the heating module. There is no sunlight to provide heat at night, so the pet robot only needs to find the position with the highest temperature to reduce the amount of heat that needs to be provided.

[0022] As one embodiment, if the pet robot detects that the pressure signal is less than the pressure threshold through the pressure sensor, it indicates that the pet has left the pet robot, and then the heating module and the temperature sensor are controlled to stop working, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the pet robot. The pet robot switches modes every 12 hours. The switching start time can be set according to the user's needs or preferences. For example, the start time of the daytime working mode is 6 o'clock, 7 o'clock or 8 o'clock in the morning, and after 12 hours, it switches to the night working mode at 6 o'clock, 7 o'clock or 8 o'clock in the evening.

[0023] A chip is used to store a program, and the program is configured to execute the above-mentioned pet robot control method.

[0024] A pet heating robot comprises a main body, wherein the main body comprises a control module, a light intensity sensor, a mobile module, a temperature sensor, a heating module, a pressure sensor and a rest platform; the control module comprises a main control chip, and the main control chip is the above-mentioned chip; the light intensity sensor is used to detect the light intensity of the environment; the mobile module is used to provide power for the movement of the pet robot; the temperature sensor is used to detect the ambient temperature; the heating module is used to heat the rest platform; the pressure sensor is used to detect the pressure change of the rest platform; and the rest platform is used to provide a resting platform for the pet.

[0025] Compared with the existing technology, the pet robot of the technical solution of the present application adopts daytime working mode or nighttime working mode according to the current time. In daytime working mode, the pet robot moves to a place with higher light intensity and temperature, and uses sunlight to warm the pet. In night working mode, the pet robot moves to a place with higher temperature, and then the robot provides heating for the pet. The heat energy generated by the robot is reduced, saving energy. The pet robot moves accordingly by detecting the light intensity of the environment, and has high flexibility.
