[0039] Referring to Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a home intelligent pet duck cage includes a duck cage body 1, the duck cage body 1 is arranged on a duck cage chassis 5, the duck cage chassis 5 is provided with side walls 55 along the circumferential direction, the side walls 55 enclose the outside of the bottom of the duck cage body 1, the duck cage chassis 5 is provided with a sloping bottom wall 54, and a drain hole 51 is arranged at the lowest position of the sloping bottom wall 54, facilitating water to gather at the drain hole 51. Taking the duck cage body 1 and the duck cage chassis 5 designed in a rectangular shape as an example, the drain hole 51 is arranged close to one of the corners of the duck cage chassis 5. A floor drain docking hole column 57 communicated with the drain hole is arranged on the bottom surface of the duck cage chassis 5, which can be docked with a floor drain, and the water drained from the drain hole directly flows to the floor drain. A spray pipe 4 and a camera 21 are fixed on the duck cage body 1, the spray pipe 4 is fixed by a spray pipe mounting bracket 3, and the spraying direction can be adjusted through the mounting angle of the spray pipe mounting bracket 3. The camera 21 is fixed on the top of the duck cage body, and the viewing angle is adjustable. The spray pipe 4 is connected to a water inlet pipe, and a normally closed solenoid valve 41 is connected to the spray pipe or the water inlet pipe. The spray pipe 4 is provided with spray holes 42, and the spray pipe 4 sprays water into the duck cage body 1 through the spray holes 42 to shower the ducks and wash the feces on the bottom wall of the duck cage chassis. The camera 21 is provided with a WIFI communication module, and the WIFI communication module is communicatively connected with an intelligent terminal, used for transmitting the camera image to the intelligent terminal, so as to observe the living conditions of the pet ducks through the intelligent terminal. The WIFI communication module is also used for receiving the control commands of the intelligent terminal and transmitting the control commands to control the normally closed solenoid valve to open for water spraying.
[0040] Among them, the duck cage body 1 is an ordinary duck cage, and a duck cage can be directly purchased from the market and directly placed on the duck cage chassis. As Figure 2 shown, the duck cage body 1 is provided with a first small door 11 for the ducks to enter and exit, a second small door 12 for taking and placing a water trough, and a third small door 13 for taking and placing a duck pellet feed box, all of which can be arranged on the front side of the duck cage body 1. The small doors are connected with pin shafts and can move up and down and rotate. Pin shaft holes are arranged at the edge of the duck cage chassis, and are fixed by inserting the pin shafts into the pin shaft holes to close the small doors.
[0041] In addition, an overhead layer 14 for isolating duck manure from the bottom of the cage is provided at the bottom of the duck cage body 1, and the duck manure can fall onto the overhead layer 14.
[0042] As Figure 3 shown, in order to control the opening and closing of the water outlet holes, a bouncing water outlet device is installed at the water outlet holes. For the specific structure, reference is made to the prior art, and it is provided with a bouncing water outlet device cover 81, a bouncing water spring rod assembly 82, and a bouncing water filter basket 83. The filter basket of the water outlet device has a filtering function of preventing foreign objects from blocking the electromagnetic valve or the water pipe. A bouncing water outlet cover mounting surface 52 and a bouncing water filter basket fixing surface 53 are correspondingly provided at the water outlet hole 51.
[0043] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, feet 7 are provided on the bottom surface of the duck cage chassis 5. The bottom surface of the duck cage chassis is rectangular, and a floor drain docking hole column 57 is provided at one of the corner positions, and feet 7 are provided at the other three corner positions, a total of three feet. At the position corresponding to the mounting position of the feet on the bottom surface of the duck cage chassis, a foot bonding surface 59 is provided, and the feet 7 are fixed to the foot bonding surface 59 by bonding. There is a gap between the bottom surface of the duck cage chassis and the placement surface, so that the other areas at the bottom of the duck cage chassis remain dry and odor is avoided. The floor drain docking hole column 57 is provided with a positioning step. After the floor drain docking hole column 57 is docked with the floor drain, positioning is carried out through the positioning step. The feet and the positioning step are provided with a height combination structure, and a sloping bottom wall 54 is formed through the height combination structure. Taking the duck cage chassis as a rectangle as an example, the floor drain docking hole column and one of the feet are located on the low side in the length direction, and the other two feet are located on the high side in the length direction.
[0044] Furthermore, a material receiving partition 56 for collecting the feed thrown out by the ducks is provided on the outer side of the duck cage chassis 5 of the duck cage body 1, and a cover plate 6 is provided on the material receiving partition 56. The material receiving partition 56 can be provided on the front side of the duck cage body 1 to facilitate the collection of the feed thrown out by the ducks and save duck food.
[0045] As Figure 5 shown, a number of spray holes 42 are provided on the spray pipe. The spray pipe is used for showering the ducks on the one hand and flushing the feces on the duck cage chassis on the other hand. One end of the spray pipe is connected to a water pipe plug 43, and the other end is connected to a normally closed electromagnetic valve 41. When the normally closed electromagnetic valve is energized, the water in the water inlet pipe enters the spray pipe to clean the duck cage body and the duck cage chassis. More than one spray pipe can be placed, and it can also be placed at the bottom of the duck cage or other intermediate positions according to the preference of the pet duck owner. One end of the spray pipe can also be connected to the drain pipe of a washbasin, a laundry sink, etc. through a tee pipe or a straight pipe. When the washbasin drains water, it is automatically drained into the duck chassis for flushing the duck chassis to save water.
[0046] As Figure 6As shown, the spray pipe mounting bracket 3 includes an elastic fixing clip 31 and a bottom plate 32. The elastic fixing clip 31 is used to clamp the spray pipe. The bottom plate 32 is movably connected to the elastic fixing clip and can specifically rotate. The bottom plate 32 is provided with threaded fixing holes 33. After the bottom plate 32 longitudinally passes through the cage gap and then rotates horizontally, it cooperates with the elastic fixing clip 31 to be fixed to the duck cage body 1, or the threaded fixing holes are connected to a threaded cover to clamp and fix to the duck cage body 1, so that the elastic fixing clip 31 is fixed on the duck cage body.
[0047] As Figure 7 shown, the camera 21 is arranged on the N-shaped bracket 23, and the camera 21 is connected to the N-shaped bracket 23 through a universal shaft 22 to form a camera assembly 2. The camera 21 can rotate relative to adjust the angle. The N-shaped bracket 23 is provided with threaded holes 24. The N-shaped bracket 23 is clamped on the spray pipe or the camera is fixed on the duck cage body through the threaded holes connecting fixing screws.
[0048] Furthermore, the floor drain docking hole column 57 is connected to the floor drain connecting pipe, and the floor drain docking hole column 57 is correspondingly provided with a water hose installation surface 58. The floor drain connecting pipe can be directly installed with the floor drain hole to achieve drainage, or an normally open solenoid valve can be installed to achieve automatic drainage control. When the pop-up drain stopper is closed, the duck cage chassis functions as a water storage tank. The duck cage chassis is changed from a feces collection tray to a bathing tub, which can provide a water play activity for pet ducks. The duck cage chassis 5 is also provided with a water level sensor for detecting the water level. When the normally open solenoid valve is in the closed mode and the water level sensor detects that the water level reaches the preset water play level, the normally closed solenoid valve closes and the spray pipe stops spraying.
[0049] There is a main valve faucet at the water inlet pipe. It can be understood that the normally closed solenoid valve can also be connected to a timer, and the normally closed solenoid valve can be opened according to a remote control command or a command of the timer controller.
[0050] When the faucet is in the closed state, there is no water in the spray pipe. When the faucet is in the open state and the solenoid valve is in the normally closed state, there is no water at the spray pipe of the duck cage. When the set flushing time arrives, or the pet duck owner observes that the duck cage needs to be cleaned, the solenoid valve automatically opens or is remotely started, and water flows into the spray pipe to start spraying water, flushing the duck feces on the duck cage chassis into the sewer. It is also possible to close the normally open water outlet solenoid valve according to the accumulation of duck feces, set the water storage level, dissolve the duck feces, and then open the normally open water outlet solenoid valve for drainage. When the normally open water outlet solenoid valve is in the closed mode and the water level sensor detects that the water level reaches the preset water play mode, the pet duck conducts water play and feather washing activities.
[0051] The circuit design of the home intelligent pet duck cage of the present invention uses a microbit development board, combined with normally closed and normally open solenoid valve circuit designs, and realizes remote control of the intelligent terminal by turning on the switch module with WIFI function. The microbit development board reads the measured value of the water level detection in the duck cage chassis through the program, and controls the normally open solenoid valve and the normally closed solenoid valve respectively to realize the control of spraying and water storage. The spraying time and the water storage time can be designed and modified through the SCRATCH program.
[0052] As described above, it is only the specific implementation manner of the invention, but the protection scope of the invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that the invention includes but is not limited to the content described in the drawings and the above specific implementation manner. Any modification that does not deviate from the functional and structural principles of the invention will be included in the scope of the claims.
