Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of intelligent cat toilets, and in particular to a flushing intelligent cat toilet. Background Art

[0002] In today's society, more and more young people are keen on keeping pet cats. Keeping pets can make people happy, relieve stress, and benefit physical and mental health. However, because people are busy at work or traveling, they have no way to clean up cat feces in time, which will cause indoor air pollution. However, cats are particularly clean animals. If the cat litter box is not cleaned for a long time, the cat may be unwilling to defecate in the cat litter box. The dirty environment may even make it sick, thus affecting the health of pets. For this reason, we have developed a flushing smart cat toilet, which flushes away feces in time after the cat defecates, and removes odors and germs through a special filtering, sterilizing and deodorizing system, providing people and pets with a clean indoor environment and a healthy living environment. People can also learn about the health dynamics of cats through remote control. When the amount of cat litter is lower than the preset value, the machine will automatically add cat litter, saving time and effort for people.

[0003] The existing intelligent cat litter box uses a motor to drive the drum to rotate, so that the cat litter passes through the sieve plate to filter out cat feces and clumping cat litter, and then the drum rotates to pour it into the collection bowl, realizing automatic cleaning.

[0004] The above existing smart cat litter boxes provide us with some conveniences, but they also have the following disadvantages, for example: 1. The centralized collection of cat feces can easily lead to the breeding of bacteria and insect eggs. The sifted cat feces, without the cover of cat litter, evaporate faster, causing turbid indoor air and strong odor. 2. The collection box has limited space. When the collection box is full of feces, if it is not cleaned in time, the smart cat litter box will not work properly. For families with multiple cats, cleaning the collection box needs to be more frequent, and it cannot meet the cat feces cleaning needs of the owner who is away for a long time. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a flushing smart cat toilet to create a cleaner and more comfortable environment for people and pets. Even if the owner is not there, there is no need to worry about the cat feces not being cleaned up, which brings great convenience to cat owners and improves people's happiness in raising cats.

[0006] The present invention provides a flushing intelligent cat toilet, which comprises: inner and outer shells, an identification module, a control module, a crushing module, a cat litter replenishing module, and a weighing module. The inner shell is a space for cats to enter the toilet.

[0007] In one implementation of the present invention, the recognition module is used to obtain image information of the cat; a door hole is provided on the outer shell, the door hole is used for the cat to enter and exit, and the recognition module is arranged above the door hole.

[0008] In one implementation of the present invention, the control module is used to execute a specific control program according to the acquired information; the control module is mainly controlled by a control panel and remotely controlled. The control module intelligently determines whether there is a cat in the shell of the cat toilet based on the data information acquired by the identification module. When there is no cat, the control module executes a maintenance program, which includes: cleaning cat litter, sterilizing and disinfecting, and replenishing cat litter.

[0009] In one implementation of the present invention, the crushing module is used to crush cat feces and clumping cat litter to facilitate flushing into the sewer with water; through the design of the crushing module, the cat feces and clumping cat litter are first crushed, and the crushed feces are discharged into the sewer through the pump body.

[0010] In one implementation of the present invention, the cat litter replenishing module is used to automatically replenish the cat litter in the cat toilet when there is not enough cat litter; it includes a cat litter storage box, which is arranged at the upper end of the inner shell. The weight of the cat litter is determined by the weighing module to determine whether cat litter needs to be added.

[0011] In one implementation of the present invention, a weighing module is used to detect the weight of a pet cat in real time; the weighing data is uploaded through a weighing sensor, and the health status of the cat can be intuitively known through analysis.

[0012] In one implementation of the present invention, there is also a deodorizing and cleaning module, which uses plasma to completely remove the odor of cat feces and possible pathogens, thereby ensuring a beautiful and clean living environment for people and pets.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2In the implementation of the present invention, a flushing smart cat toilet is provided. The 1-outer shell of the smart cat toilet can have a variety of shapes. For example, the 1-outer shell can be set to a sphere, and a base is set below the spherical 1-outer shell so that it can better contact the ground; the 1-outer shell can also be set to a cylindrical shape. One of the advantages of setting a cylindrical shape is that no other structure needs to be set separately, and the smart cat toilet can also have good contact with the ground. The present invention does not limit the shape of the 1-outer shell. The 2-inner shell is also not limited by the present invention, as long as there is space in the 2-inner shell to accommodate the cat.

[0024] The control module can analyze the data obtained by the recognition module and control the smart cat toilet accordingly based on the information. An image recognition program can be set in the control module, and then the corresponding control program is executed. The image recognition program can analyze the image information according to a statistical method, a syntactic recognition method or a neural network method, and the present invention application is not limited to this.

[0025] Referring to Figure 3, the flushing smart cat toilet provided in the implementation of the present invention, 3-crushing module crushes and cleans the pollutants, the pollutants are mainly cat feces and clumping cat litter, 3-crushing module screens the cat litter through 6-recovery bin shutter mechanism, leaving only cat feces and clumping cat litter on the top, and the cat litter leaks into the 4-cat litter recovery bin below, and then the 6-recovery bin shutter mechanism is closed by the electric cylinder, and the 2-inner shell is rotated under the drive of the motor, and the feces enters the 3.4-water tank through the 5-cat feces outlet, and the 3.1-motor drives the crushing blade in the 3.3-crushing chamber to realize the crushing of the feces. At the same time, the 3.7-water valve is opened, and the tap water enters the 3.4-water tank through the 3.6-water pipe, and the crushed feces discharges the mixture into the sewer under the operation of the 3.2-pump body.

[0026] Reference Figure 4 The flushing intelligent cat toilet provided in the implementation of the present invention has a cat litter replenishing module. In daily use, the cat litter in the cat toilet will gradually be consumed, and the amount of cat litter will become less. The cat litter replenishing module can replenish cat litter in the cat toilet to keep the amount of cat litter in an amount that meets the use requirements. The specific cat litter replenishing module includes: 8-cat litter storage box; 8.1-gate electric cylinder; 8.2-gate, by opening 8.2-gate, the cat litter automatically enters the space in 2-inner shell, so that the cat litter replenishing module has a simple structure and reliable operation.

[0027] It should be noted that the cat litter replenishment module is electrically connected to the control module, and the control module can send a command signal to the cat litter replenishment module so that the cat litter replenishment module replenishes cat litter in the smart cat toilet. The control module determines whether cat litter needs to be replenished based on the data of the weighing sensor in the 2-inner shell. When cat litter needs to be replenished, the control module sends a command signal so that the 8-cat litter storage box in the cat litter replenishment module replenishes cat litter in the 2-inner shell. Specifically, when cat litter needs to be replenished, the control module sends a command signal to make the 8.1-bin door electric cylinder open the 8.2-bin door, and the weighing sensor detects in real time. When the specified weight is reached, the 8.1-bin door electric cylinder closes the 8.2-bin door. This can prevent excessive cat litter replenishment.
