[0021] Most of the pet washing and drying machines on the market require users to judge the actual situation of the pet with their naked eyes, manually set the washing mode, and add more or less pet washing liquid to perform standardized and semi-automated pet washing and care work. However, this homogenized washing and care equipment has long been unable to meet the higher demands of the current pet market. The invention application with application number 202110188899.4 discloses a cleaning method, device and pet washing machine for a pet washing machine. The application can obtain the identification information of the pet through a camera, and then set different cleaning schemes according to the cleaning characteristics of different pets to obtain the working parameters corresponding to the target cleaning scheme, control the pet washing machine to operate under the working parameters, and provide different personalized cleaning schemes for different pets, which helps to ensure the cleaning effect of the pet. This application can solve the above problems to a certain extent, but there are still shortcomings, such as the inability to set an appropriate cleaning scheme based on the health status of the pet or the mood of the pet, which may affect the physical and mental health of the pet.

[0022] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a control method for a pet washing and care machine, which combines the physical parameters and health parameters of the target pet to determine a washing and care mode, washing liquid formula and drying mode that match the target pet, washes and cares for the target pet, and also makes adaptive adjustments according to the pet's mood during the washing and care process. It can meet the personalized and refined washing and drying needs of different pets and pets in different health and emotional conditions, improves the washing and care effect while ensuring the physical and mental health of the pet.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the control method for the pet washing machine specifically includes the following steps: Step S1, obtaining the physical parameters and health parameters of the target pet; Step S2, determining a washing and care mode, a washing and care liquid formula, and a drying mode that match the target pet according to the body parameters and the health parameters, and then washing and care the target pet; Step S3, monitoring the emotion of the target pet during the process of washing and caring for the target pet; Step S4, adjusting the washing and care process according to the mood of the target pet until the washing and care is completed.

[0024] As one implementation manner, in step S1, the method for obtaining the physical parameters and health parameters of the target pet specifically includes: Step S11, collect the image information of the target pet, and then use image recognition technology to obtain the body parameters of the target pet, the body parameters include the breed information, hair information and volume information of the target pet; wherein the hair information refers to the length, straightness and dirtiness of the hair of the target pet, and the hair dirtiness information can be known through the texture and appearance of the hair, for example, dirty hair usually becomes disordered and rough, and may have dust, grease, lumps, knots or color changes. The volume information refers to the volume of the target pet, which can be known by the proportion of pixels occupied by the target pet in the image. The image recognition technology is a prior art and will not be described here.

[0025] Step S12: Based on the image information of the target pet, a pre-trained deep learning model is used to determine whether the target pet has symptoms of skin allergies, thereby obtaining the health parameters of the target pet.

[0026] Before executing step S12, a deep learning model is trained to determine whether a pet has symptoms of skin allergies. The specific steps are as follows: Step S121, collecting an image dataset including normal pet skin and allergic pet skin; Step S122, labeling the above image data set to indicate which images represent normal skin and which represent allergic skin, which will serve as training labels for the deep learning model; Step S123, using the labeled image dataset to train a deep learning model so that it can identify whether the pet has skin allergies. The deep learning model will learn to extract features and patterns from the image for classification. In another embodiment, if these image datasets include allergy symptoms of different severity, the severity can also be marked. In this way, in addition to being able to determine whether the pet has skin allergies, the deep learning model can also further determine the severity of the allergy, which can improve the refinement of post-washing care.

[0027] During the execution of step S12, the camera captures the skin image of the target pet and transmits the image to the deep learning model for real-time recognition. The model will output a classification result indicating whether the skin is allergic and save it to the health parameter. The method described in this embodiment formulates the washing and care needs according to the health status of the pet, provides the pet with more comfortable washing and care conditions, is more humane, and is conducive to protecting the physical and mental health of the pet.

[0028] As one of the implementation modes, in step S2, the method for determining the washing and care mode matching the target pet specifically includes: based on the health parameters of the target pet, if the target pet has symptoms of skin allergies, selecting an anti-allergic washing and care mode to wash and care for the target pet; if the target pet does not have symptoms of skin allergies, selecting a washing and care mode other than the anti-allergic washing and care mode based on the body parameters of the target pet.

[0029] Among them, the washing and care process of the anti-allergic washing and care mode is as follows: first, use warm water at 30 to 38 degrees Celsius to pre-clean the target pet, and the water flow rate gradually increases from low speed to slow, but controlled at a certain intensity to avoid irritation to allergic skin, and then select a matching washing and care liquid formula for washing. During the washing process, you can choose or not choose the massage function. If you massage a pet with skin allergies, use a low-intensity gear, and the massage time should not be too long. At the same time, try to avoid allergic skin areas. After washing, use water to rinse, and the water flow rate gradually slows down to gently complete the rinsing process. Finally, dry the target pet in the matching drying mode.

[0030] Among them, in addition to the anti-allergic washing mode, the washing modes also include standard washing mode, deep cleaning mode, gentle washing mode, sterilization and disinfection washing mode and fast washing mode. It should be noted that all washing modes can be manually selected by the user or intelligently selected by the pet washing machine. The standard washing mode is a washing mode suitable for most pets, and it is also the default washing mode. In this washing mode, the washing time, washing liquid formula and dosage, drying temperature, drying time and drying wind speed are all performed according to the preset standard values. When the pet washing machine detects that the hair of the target pet is relatively dirty, it switches to the deep cleaning mode. In this washing mode, at least any one of the washing time, washing liquid formula and dosage will be adjusted, such as using a deep cleanser. When the pet washing machine detects that the target pet is a timid type, a small breed, or its volume is smaller than a preset volume, or its age is young (manually input by the user), it switches to a gentle washing mode. In this washing mode, at least one of the washing time, the amount of washing liquid, the drying time and the wind speed will be adjusted, such as reducing the amount of washing liquid to avoid waste, and reducing the drying temperature, drying time and drying speed to avoid scaring the target pet. Other washing modes are selected according to different usage scenarios and are not described here.

[0031] As one embodiment, in step S2, the method for determining the formula of the washing liquid that matches the target pet specifically includes: when the anti-allergic washing mode is selected, the anti-allergic washing liquid is mixed and diluted with water for washing the target pet. If the allergy is severe, it can also be set to directly use water to wash the target pet. The method described in this embodiment avoids the discomfort caused by the washing liquid containing irritating substances to pets with skin allergies.

[0032] As one embodiment, in step S2, the method for determining the drying mode that matches the target pet specifically includes: when the anti-allergic washing and care mode is selected, the target pet is dried using the low-temperature drying mode, or the target pet is dried using the normal temperature air drying mode. If the allergy is severe, the wind speed and drying time can be appropriately reduced to reduce the degree and time of skin irritation.

[0033] As one of the embodiments, in step S3, the method for monitoring the emotion of the target pet specifically includes: using a radar sensor to transmit a low-energy radio frequency signal to the target pet, and then obtaining the heart rate and respiratory rate of the target pet from the transmitted signal. When the heart rate and respiratory rate of the target pet both exceed the threshold, the target pet is considered to be emotionally excited, otherwise the target pet is considered to be emotionally calm. Preferably, the model of the radar sensor is Infineon XENSIV™ 60 GHz radar sensor, which can continuously monitor the heart rate and respiratory rate in a non-contact manner, and has the advantages of low power consumption and small PCB size. The radar sensor transmits a low-energy RF radio frequency signal through its Tx transmitting antenna and receives the reflected signal through the Rx receiving antenna. Usually, the detected target will produce a Doppler frequency shift, which can be measured by comparing the transmitted signal and the reflected signal. This enables the use of high-sensitivity sensors such as the aforementioned radar sensor model to detect the tiny movements of the chest caused by breathing and heartbeats, and through relevant algorithms, the heart rate and respiratory rate can be accurately extracted from the signal. The advantage of the radar sensor is that it has almost no impact on the detected target. The only requirement is that the detected target needs to be kept within a certain distance from the radar sensor (usually within 1.5 meters). It is best if the chest of the detected target is facing the radar sensor, but this is not mandatory. Another advantage of the radar sensor is that it can detect through non-conductive materials, so even pets with long hair can accurately extract heart rate and breathing rate. The method described in this embodiment can accurately extract the heart rate and breathing rate of the target pet. When the heart rate and breathing rate are too high and exceed the threshold, it indicates that the target pet is emotionally excited and may be more resistant to washing and care, and is not willing to cooperate. Otherwise, it indicates willingness to cooperate. Therefore, monitoring the emotions of the target pet can optimize the subsequent washing and care process and improve the washing and care effect and efficiency.

[0034] As another embodiment, in step S3, the method for monitoring the emotion of the target pet specifically includes: using a microphone to collect the sound of the target pet, and then calculating the energy and fundamental frequency of the sound. When the energy and fundamental frequency of the sound are detected to exceed the threshold at least a preset number of times within a certain period of time, the target pet is considered to be emotionally agitated, otherwise the target pet is considered to be emotionally calm. When the target pet is not willing to cooperate, it will generally make a sound to resist. Therefore, if the energy and fundamental frequency of the pet's sound are detected to exceed the threshold for multiple times (greater than or equal to 3 times) within a short period of time, such as within 10 seconds, it is considered that the pet is emotionally agitated. It should be noted that the energy and fundamental frequency of the sound represent the sound intensity and pitch, that is, the size of the sound and the height of the frequency. When the pet is emotionally agitated, it will emit a high-frequency bark that is louder than usual, and the pet's emotions can be inferred from this. Energy and fundamental frequency are time domain characteristics of sound, and the calculation method is prior art and will not be repeated here.

[0035] As one of the implementation modes, in step S4, the method of adjusting the washing and care process until the washing and care is completed according to the mood of the target pet specifically includes: when the target pet is emotionally excited, interacting with the target pet through an interactive mode, while continuously monitoring the mood of the target pet, if the target pet changes from emotional excitement to calmness, continuing the current washing and care process until the washing and care is completed, if the target pet is still emotionally excited, reducing the washing and care time, the amount of washing and care liquid used, and the drying time, and reducing the temperature and wind force during drying. The purpose of the interactive mode is to soothe the pet, and the pet's attention can be diverted by playing music (customized according to the pet's preferences), bubble baths, vibrations or massages, etc., so as to change its mood. If the target pet is always uncooperative, the stimulation to the pet is reduced by reducing the washing and care time and other means to improve the washing and care efficiency.

[0036] As one of the implementation modes, after the pet washing machine completes the washing of the target pet, it records the washing information of the target pet and provides washing suggestions the next time the target pet is washed, wherein the washing information of the target pet includes at least any one of the physical parameters, health parameters, washing mode, washing liquid formula, drying mode and emotional parameters of the target pet. The method described in the embodiment of the present application can collect a large amount of washing history data, perform data analysis, optimize washing mode and algorithm, and provide washing services that are more adapted to the needs of pets. In one embodiment, the historical data of the current washing of the pet can be displayed through the user interface of the pet washing machine, so that the pet owner can understand the specific situation of washing and choose more appropriate washing measures. Among them, the identity of the target pet can be identified by image recognition technology, or by a tag (such as a radio frequency tag or other electronic tag).

[0037] The embodiment of the present application also provides an intelligent pet washing machine, which is used to execute the steps of the control method for the pet washing machine. The intelligent pet washing machine described in the embodiment of the present application combines the physical parameters and health parameters of the target pet to determine the washing mode, washing liquid formula and drying mode that match the target pet, washes the target pet, and also makes adaptive adjustments according to the pet's mood during the washing process, which can meet the personalized and refined washing and drying needs of different pets and pets in different health and emotional conditions, improve the washing effect while also ensuring the physical and mental health of the pet.
