Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pet products, and in particular to an anti-leakage pet urine pad with a monitoring function. Background Art

[0002] Pets are creatures that people keep for spiritual purposes rather than economic purposes. Traditional pets refer to mammals or birds, which are kept for entertainment and companionship, and can relieve people's mental stress. The status of pets in people's lives is getting higher and higher, and people's requirements for the quality of life of their pets are also getting higher and higher. Due to the limitations of living environment, the problem of pet excretion has always troubled pet lovers. The use of pet urine pads can make it easier for people to clean up pet excrement.

[0003] Existing pet urine pads lack effective monitoring of the urine pads when the pet excretes. Generally, the urine pads are replaced based on the operator's experience, and there is no effective standard. Some urine pads do not absorb a lot of urine and have little odor, so they do not need to be replaced. Frequent replacement increases costs. Some urine pads are difficult to accurately judge the internal humidity during operation based on experience, and untimely replacement causes leakage and pollutes the environment. Therefore, the present invention proposes a leakage-proof pet urine pad with a monitoring function to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In response to the above problems, the present invention proposes a leak-proof pet urine pad with a monitoring function, which facilitates timely warning and replacement, fully utilizes the pad cloth, improves utilization rate and reduces costs.

[0005] To achieve the purpose of the present invention, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: a leakage-proof pet urine pad with a monitoring function, comprising a pad and a control box, the pad being covered with a pad cloth, the control box being arranged on one side of the pad, a gravity sensor being arranged in the middle of the pad, humidity sensors being arranged at the four corners of the pad, an odor concentration sensor being arranged on one side of the pad, and a heating wire being arranged inside the pad;

[0006] A control module is provided inside the control box, and the control module is connected to the gravity sensor. When weight is sensed, the entire device is started. The control module collects data from the humidity sensor and the odor concentration sensor, first determines whether the heating wire is heated according to the humidity, and marks the number of heating times. When the number of heating times reaches the set number, an early warning is issued. After heating, an early warning judgment is made based on the odor concentration.

[0007] Further improvements are: after the control module collects data from the humidity sensor, it determines whether the humidity has reached the threshold. When the threshold is reached, the heating wire is started for heating. When the threshold is not reached, the heating is stopped. Then the data from the odor concentration sensor is collected to determine whether the odor concentration has reached the threshold. When the threshold is reached, an early warning is issued. When the threshold is not reached, the device is stopped.

[0008] A further improvement is that the control module marks the number of times the heating wire is heated. When the number of heating times reaches the set number, an early warning is issued after heating and the subsequent odor concentration collection process is stopped.

[0009] A further improvement is that a reset button is provided on the control box, and the reset button is connected to the control module. The reset button is used for the operator to press after the early warning. After the operator replaces the pad, the control module resets the overall data recognition process.

[0010] A further improvement is that the control module includes a starting module, a detection module, a marking module, a communication module, a setting module and an early warning module. The communication module is used to wirelessly connect to the operator's mobile phone APP, and the command output end of the communication module is connected to the setting module for manually setting gravity parameters, humidity parameters, odor concentration parameters and heating times parameters.

[0011] Further improvements are: the starting module is connected to the gravity sensor, and when the identification value of the gravity sensor reaches the gravity parameter, the entire device is started; the detection module is connected to the humidity sensor and the odor concentration sensor to collect data, and compares it with the humidity parameter and odor concentration parameter; and the control end of the detection module is connected to the heating wire and the early warning module.

[0012] Further improvements are: the marking module is connected to the heating wire, and after each process is reset and the pad cloth is replaced, the heating times of the heating wire are timed. When the heating times of the same piece of pad cloth reaches the heating times parameter, the marking module drives the early warning module to issue an early warning. The early warning module is wirelessly connected to the operator's mobile phone APP through the communication module, and is used to send the early warning data and the type of warning to the operator's mobile phone APP.

[0013] A further improvement is that a transformer is provided at one end inside the control box, and a power cord is connected to the transformer, and one end of the power cord is connected to a plug.

[0014] A further improvement is that the pad cloth includes a sealed edge and a water-absorbing cloth, the water-absorbing cloth is provided with at least three layers, and the water-absorbing cloth is sewn on the inner side of the sealed edge, and elastic bands are connected to the four corners of the sealed edge.

[0015] A further improvement is that bolts are threadedly installed at the four corners of the pad, the elastic band is used to connect to the bolts, the pad is a closed plate body, and a waterproof coating is provided on the top of the pad.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0017] 1. The present invention uses a pad to carry a mat cloth, and receives pet excrement through the mat cloth. The gravity sensor senses the weight of the pet to start the device, and the control module performs overall control. When the humidity sensor senses that the humidity exceeds the standard, the heating wire is used to heat it to prevent leakage, and the number of times a single mat cloth is heated is recorded, which is convenient for timely warning and replacement, fully utilizing the mat cloth, improving utilization rate and reducing costs.

[0018] 2. After heating, the present invention uses an odor concentration sensor to judge the odor concentration. When the odor concentration reaches a threshold, an early warning is issued to remind you to replace the pad. This is beneficial to avoid other pollution while ensuring the maximum utilization of the pad, and diversify the monitoring functions.

[0019] 3. The present invention adopts the connection means of elastic band and bolt to fix the padding cloth and the padding plate, which is easy to install. The padding cloth surrounds the absorbent cloth through the edge sealing to avoid leakage, and the use is more reliable. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] In order to deepen the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the examples. The examples are only used to explain the present invention and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] according to Figure 1 、 2 As shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5, this embodiment proposes a leakage-proof pet urine pad with a monitoring function, comprising a pad 1 and a control box 2. The pad 1 is covered with a pad cloth, and the control box 2 is arranged on one side of the pad 1. A gravity sensor 3 is provided in the middle position of the pad 1, and humidity sensors 4 are provided at the four corners of the pad 1. An odor concentration sensor 5 is provided on one side of the pad 1, and a heating wire 6 is provided inside the pad 1.

[0029] The control box 2 is internally provided with a control module, which is connected to a gravity sensor 3. When weight is sensed, the entire device is activated. The control module collects data from a humidity sensor 4 and an odor concentration sensor 5, first determining whether the heating wire 6 is heated based on the humidity, and marking the number of heating times. When the number of heating times reaches the set value, an early warning is issued. After heating, an early warning is issued based on the odor concentration. During use, the pad 1 carries the pet's excrement, and the pet's excrement is received through the pad. The gravity sensor 3 senses the pet's weight to activate the device, and the control module performs overall control. When the humidity sensor 4 senses that the humidity exceeds the standard, the heating wire 6 is used to heat to prevent leakage, and the number of times a single pad is heated is recorded to facilitate timely early warning and replacement. After heating, the odor concentration sensor 5 determines the odor concentration. When the odor concentration reaches a threshold, an early warning is issued, reminding the user to replace the pad. This helps to ensure maximum utilization of the pad while avoiding other contamination.

[0030] After collecting data from humidity sensor 4, the control module determines whether the humidity has reached a threshold. If so, it activates heating wire 6. If not, it stops heating. It then collects data from odor concentration sensor 5 to determine whether the odor concentration has reached a threshold. If so, it issues an alert; if not, it stops the device. The control module 7 marks the number of times heating wire 6 has been heated. When the number of heating times reaches a set value, it issues an alert after heating and stops the subsequent odor concentration collection process. During use, humidity is first determined as the basis for heating. Then, odor concentration is determined. If the odor concentration reaches the threshold, an alert is issued to replace the cloth. If the odor concentration remains stable, the number of heating times for each cloth is determined. If a single cloth reaches a set number of heating times, an alert is issued to replace the cloth. This heating number is adaptively adjusted based on the durability of the cloth to ensure maximum utilization.

[0031] The control box 2 is provided with a reset button 8, which is connected to the control module 7. After the warning is issued, the operator presses the reset button 8 to reset the control module 7's overall data recognition process after the operator replaces the mat. When in use, the reset button 8 resets the entire process and restarts humidity monitoring, odor concentration monitoring, and heating times marking, making it more convenient to use.

[0032] The control module 7 includes a startup module, a detection module, a marking module, a communication module, a setting module, and an early warning module. The communication module is used to wirelessly connect to the operator's mobile phone app, and the command output of the communication module is connected to the setting module for manually setting gravity parameters, humidity parameters, odor concentration parameters, and heating times parameters. During use, the parameters can be freely set through the app, allowing for convenient adaptive adjustments based on the performance of the mat and the current environment.

[0033] The activation module is connected to the gravity sensor 3. When the value identified by the gravity sensor 3 reaches the gravity parameter, the entire device is activated. The detection module is connected to the humidity sensor 4 and the odor concentration sensor 5 to collect data and compare it with the humidity and odor concentration parameters. The control end of the detection module is connected to the heating wire 6 and the early warning module. The marking module is connected to the heating wire 6. After each process reset and replacement of the mat, the number of heating times of the heating wire 6 is timed. When the number of heating times for the same mat reaches the heating time parameter, the marking module activates the early warning module to issue an early warning. The early warning module is wirelessly connected to the operator's mobile phone app via the communication module to transmit the early warning data and the type of warning to the operator's mobile phone app. When in use, the pet's excrement is received by the mat, the pet's weight is sensed by the gravity sensor 3 to start the device, and the overall control is performed by the control module. When the humidity sensor 4 senses that the humidity exceeds the standard, the heating wire 6 is used to heat it to prevent leakage, and the number of times a single mat is heated is recorded, which is convenient for timely warning and replacement. After heating, the odor concentration sensor 5 is used to judge the odor concentration. When the odor concentration reaches the threshold, an alarm is issued to remind the operator to replace the mat. The warning data and the type of warning are sent to the operator's mobile phone APP, so that the operator can know which aspect has reached the set parameters.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] according to Figure 1 、 2As shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5, this embodiment proposes a leakage-proof pet urine pad with a monitoring function, comprising a pad 1 and a control box 2.

An odor concentration sensor 5 is provided on one side of the pad 1, and a heating wire 6 is provided inside the pad 1.

[0036] The control box 2 is internally provided with a control module, which is connected to a gravity sensor 3. When weight is sensed, the entire device is activated. The control module collects data from a humidity sensor 4 and an odor concentration sensor 5, first determining whether the heating wire 6 is heated based on the humidity, and marking the number of heating times. When the number of heating times reaches the set value, an early warning is issued. After heating, an early warning is issued based on the odor concentration. During use, the pad 1 carries the pet's excrement, and the pet's excrement is received through the pad. The gravity sensor 3 senses the pet's weight to activate the device, and the control module performs overall control. When the humidity sensor 4 senses that the humidity exceeds the standard, the heating wire 6 is used to heat to prevent leakage, and the number of times a single pad is heated is recorded to facilitate timely early warning and replacement. After heating, the odor concentration sensor 5 determines the odor concentration. When the odor concentration reaches a threshold, an early warning is issued, reminding the user to replace the pad. This helps to ensure maximum utilization of the pad while avoiding other contamination.

[0037] One end of the control box 2 is provided with a transformer 9, and the transformer 9 is connected to a power line 10, and one end of the power line 10 is connected to a plug 11. When in use, the mains is connected through the plug 11, and the device is powered by the transformer 9.

[0038] The padding cloth includes a sealed edge 12 and an absorbent cloth 13. The absorbent cloth 13 has three layers and is sewn inside the sealed edge 12. Elastic bands 14 are connected to the four corners of the sealed edge 12.

The backing plate 1 is a closed plate body, and a waterproof coating 16 is provided above the backing plate 1. During use, the elastic bands 14 and bolts 15 are used to connect the padding cloth and the backing plate 1, making installation convenient. The padding cloth surrounds the absorbent cloth 13 through the sealed edge 12 to prevent leakage. The closed plate body and the waterproof coating 16 make the backing plate 1 more reliable.

[0039] This leak-proof pet urine pad with monitoring function uses a pad plate 1 to support a cloth, which receives pet excrement. A gravity sensor 3 senses the pet's weight to activate the device, and a control module provides overall control. When a humidity sensor 4 detects excessive humidity, a heating wire 6 is used to heat the pad to prevent leakage. The device also records the number of times a single pad has been heated, facilitating timely warnings and replacements, ensuring full utilization of the pad, improving utilization, and reducing costs. After heating, the present invention uses an odor concentration sensor 5 to determine odor concentration. When the odor concentration reaches a threshold, an alarm is issued, prompting a replacement of the pad. This helps ensure maximum utilization of the pad while avoiding other contamination and providing diverse monitoring functions. Furthermore, the present invention uses an elastic band 14 and bolts 15 to secure the pad and pad plate 1, making installation easy. The pad surrounds the absorbent cloth 13 with a sealed edge 12, preventing leakage and providing increased reliability.
