Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of robots, and in particular relates to an interactive pet management robot. Background Art

[0002] As living standards improve, people have higher requirements for pet care. Since owners cannot be at home all the time to accompany their pets, many companion pet management robots have appeared on the market to help owners take care of their pets. These robots generally have the following functions:

[0003] Remote Monitoring: Many pet management robots are equipped with cameras and microphones, allowing pet owners to remotely view and communicate with their pets through a mobile phone app.

[0004] Automatic feeding: Some robots have the function of storing and dispensing pet food at regular intervals, ensuring that pets eat on time and maintain a regular diet even when the owner is not at home.

[0005] Environmental management: Some robots also have the function of environmental cleaning, such as cleaning the area where pets are active.

[0006] However, in order to realize a combination of various functions, these pet management robots in the prior art are generally large in size, which is very unfriendly to some small pets such as cats and dogs, and can easily scare them and make them feel resistant, thus failing to achieve the management and care effect; secondly, they lack interactivity, and the owner cannot interact well with the pet through the robot, and cannot provide humane companionship and care for the pet; at the same time, the cleaning component and the feeding component are generally assembled into one body and cannot be disassembled separately.

[0081] The food box 3 is detachably connected between the first notch groove 114 and the second notch groove 141, and has a food storage groove 31, a material discharge groove 32 and an inner groove 35 at the bottom, and a feeding hopper 36 is rotatably installed inside the inner groove 35;

[0082] In order to automatically perform feeding and record the amount of food eaten by the pet, a stopper 33 is fixedly embedded inside the feed chute 32, and a micro motor 38 is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the food box 3. A feed opening is provided in the center of the stopper 33, and a discharge valve 34 is installed in the feed opening, so that the feeding and stopping of food can be controlled by the discharge valve 34, and slopes facing the feed opening are provided at both ends of the stopper 33 to facilitate the flow of food toward the feed opening. By connecting the power output end of the micro motor 38 to the rotating shaft of the feeding hopper 36 through a coupling, the micro motor 38 can be controlled by the PLC 12 to adjust the feeding hopper 36 to flip (as shown in the attached figure). Fig.17 As shown in the figure, the pet is fed, and an electronic scale 39 for weighing pet food is embedded in the bottom surface of the feeding hopper 36, which can weigh the amount of food when feeding. When the amount of food reaches a specified value, the feeding is stopped, and then feeding is performed. After feeding, the feeding hopper 36 is reset, and the remaining amount of food is weighed again. The difference between the two weighings is the amount of food eaten by the pet, and it is recorded. When feeding again, it only needs to add to the specified value again to avoid food waste;

[0083] Furthermore, a movable cover 37 is provided on the food storage trough 31 at the top of the food box 3 to facilitate timely addition of food, and the bottom of the food storage trough 31 is inclined toward the side of the feed trough 32, which is conducive to the flow of food.

By symmetrically opening limited slots 212 on the inner walls at both ends of the box body 211, and openings 218 for the tape to pass through the bottom, and rotatably mounting clamping blocks 214 (in this embodiment, they are arranged in a regular hexagon, and the diameter of the circumscribed circle is smaller than the diameter of the rubber roller 213) that are adapted to the limited slots 212 at both ends of the rubber roller 213. At the same time, limiting pillars 217 for pressing the clamping block 214 are fixedly installed at both ends of the bottom surface of the upper sealing cover 216, and are connected to each other by magnetic attraction. The clamping block 214 can be embedded in the bottom of the limiting slot 212, and the limiting pillars 217 are used to press and fix the rubber roller 213, so that it can rotate stably in the box body 211, so that the tape roll 215 sleeved thereon can stably release the tape to clean the hair. After use, the upper sealing cover 216 can be directly opened, and the rubber roller 213 can be picked up and replaced with a new tape roll 215, which is very convenient to replace;

[0088] Please refer to the attached Fig.10The cleaning component 24 includes a pushing cylinder 246 fixedly mounted on the layer plate 14, an auxiliary support 244 fixedly mounted on the power output end of the pushing cylinder 246, and a bottom support 243 arranged at the bottom of the auxiliary support 244. The bottom support 243 is fixedly connected to both ends of the auxiliary support 244 by a spring shock absorber 245. The spring shock absorber 245 can buffer the downward thrust during the movement, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the structure. The auxiliary support 244 is internally rotatably connected with an auxiliary roller 242, and the bottom support 243 is internally rotatably connected with a cleaning roller 241. In this embodiment, three groups of cleaning rollers 241 are arranged side by side at the bottom of the bottom support 243, and are integrally embedded in the central through groove 115, which is convenient for downward sinking and can increase the contact area with the ground, thereby improving the hair cleaning efficiency;

[0089] Please refer to the attached Fig.12 The winding assembly 25 includes a rotating support 253 rotatably connected to the T-shaped support plate 134 through a bearing and a winding roller 251 detachably connected between two sets of rotating supports 253. A slot 254 is provided at one end of the rotating support 253 close to the winding roller 251, and a bayonet 252 is integrally formed on the winding roller 251 to match the slot 254. The bayonet 252 at both ends are staggered, and the bayonet 252 can be used to engage with the rotating supports 253 at both ends.

[0090] Furthermore, a limiting sleeve 255 is slidably sleeved on the rotating support 253 at its connecting gap, and a limiting spring 256 is fixedly installed between the limiting sleeve 255 and the side wall of the T-shaped support plate 134. By sleeve-joining the limiting sleeve 255 at the above-mentioned connecting gap, a stable connection between the winding roller 251 and the rotating support 253 at both ends can be achieved. When the winding roller 251 needs to be replaced, the limiting sleeve 255 can be pushed to both sides to disengage it from the connecting gap, thereby separating the winding roller 251 from the rotating support 253, and the winding roller 251 and the adhesive tape with hair adhered thereto can be disassembled as a whole, and then a new winding roller 251 can be replaced, which makes hair cleaning very convenient. Different from the traditional suction structure, it will not cause secondary scattering of hair.

[0091] Please refer to the attached Figure 8 In order to drive the winding roller 251 to wind the tape, a servo motor 26 is fixedly installed between the T-shaped support plates 134, and a driving gear is fixedly installed at the power output end of the servo motor 26. In contrast, a driven gear is fixedly installed on one set of rotating supports 253, and the driving gear and the driven gear are connected through a linkage gear transmission;

[0092] According to the above structure, and with specific reference to the attached Fig. 9The adhesive tape starts from the surface of the adhesive tape roll 215, passes through the threading port 218, the parallel rollers of the first guide roller group 22 and the second guide roller group 23, and the auxiliary roller 242 in sequence, and then goes around the bottom surface of the three groups of cleaning rollers 241, and then turns upward from the other end again and enters between the parallel rollers of the second guide roller group 23, and finally is wound around the winding roller 251 and wound up;

[0093] When the robot tracks and detects the pet and identifies that there is hair falling on the bottom surface, the push cylinder 246 is started by controlling the PLC 12 to push the auxiliary roller 242 and the cleaning roller 241 downward as a whole, and the cleaning roller 241 is used to push the tape to adhere to the ground. During the movement, the gear group is used to drive the winding roller 251 to rotate, and the tape is pulled to be wound, so that the tape is adhered to the hair on the bottom surface;

[0094] Secondly, please refer to the attached Figure 8 When not in use, the whole is retracted inside the central slot 115 to avoid interfering with the movement of the robot; at the same time, an encoder 27 is fixedly installed on one side of the T-shaped support plate 134, which is connected to the rotating support 253 and can record the number of rotations of the rotating support 253, so as to use the processor module 131 to calculate the length of the rolled tape and determine whether the tape needs to be replaced; when replacing, just remove the food box 3, open the box body 211, cut the tape at the connection, and stick the tape in the body to the new tape roll 215, and replace the used tape roll 215 to complete the connection. At the same time, cut the tape with hair adhered to the take-up roller 251, remove the take-up roller 251 wrapped with the tape, and discard it. It is a disposable item. Replace the new take-up roller 251 and rewind the tape on it to complete the replacement. The whole process is very simple to operate, and the removed food box 3 can be cleaned synchronously to ensure the cleanliness of the entire device, which is not easy to breed bacteria and is beneficial to the health of pets and owners.

[0095] See attached Figure 15-17 The display screen 4 is arranged just above the top support plate 13, and in other embodiments, a video camera may be arranged on the display screen 4 as required, so as to facilitate targeted shooting of the pet; of course, it may not be arranged, and the pet picture may be supplemented by the camera 133;

[0096] Among them, in order to support the display screen 4, an L-shaped bracket 43 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the top support plate 13, and a bracket plate 41 is rotatably installed between the L-shaped brackets 43. At the same time, a base 42 is provided at the bottom of the bracket plate 41, and a microphone and a speaker are provided thereon. By installing the display screen 4 on the base 42 and electrically connecting it with the microphone and the speaker, interactive videos, pictures and animations can be played. At the same time, the owner can control the playback content of the display screen 4 and make video calls with the pet through the mobile phone APP, so as to provide a humane companionship and care method;

[0097] Furthermore, in order to enable the pet to see the image on the display screen 4 more clearly, an electric push rod 44 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the L-shaped bracket 43, and a linkage rod 46 is arranged between the power output end of the electric push rod 44 and the bracket plate 41, and a connecting seat 45 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the bracket plate 41. By rotating one end of the linkage rod 46 to be connected to the power output end of the electric push rod 44 and the other end to be connected to the connecting seat 45, the inclination angle of the display screen 4 can be adjusted by the extension and retraction of the electric push rod 44, and then the inclination angle of the display screen 4 can be adjusted by using PLC12 according to the position information of the pet, so that the pet can clearly watch the video image and facilitate interaction.

[0098] See attached Figure 1 And attached Figure 2 In this embodiment, an outer shell 5 is also provided, which is wrapped and covered on the body frame 1 to provide protection and perform visualization processing at the camera 133 and the laser radar 111 without hindering its normal operation. At the same time, the food box 3 is integrally and detachably connected to the outer shell 5 to form a complete connection body, so that its overall shape is similar to a sweeping robot. Since robots of this size frequently appear in daily life, small pets will not have resistance and fear when facing the robot, and can better achieve the effect of accompanying. The display screen 4 is extended and set directly above the outer shell 5 so that it will not be blocked and can be folded and hidden when not in use. The overall shape is more concise and tidy, which is convenient for storage.
