Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of pet products. Background Art

[0002] This smart IoT pet toilet utilizes a novel technology approach: an overhead crane plus a robotic arm, perfectly resolving these issues. It's simple to operate and clean, while offering greater space utilization, improved comfort, and lower energy consumption. Its flushing system directly discharges pet waste into the city sewer network, eliminating the need for owners to carry out rubbish removal and providing enhanced convenience. The overhead crane and robotic arm remotely collect pet waste, eliminating the risk of odors from manual shoveling and protecting pet owners' health. This product isolates pet waste odors from the air in the home, significantly improving home air hygiene. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention discloses an intelligent Internet of Things automatic pet toilet, comprising: a working chamber (14), a sand replenishing chamber (09) installed on the top of the working chamber (14), a sewage discharge chamber (16) installed at the bottom of the working chamber (14), a control panel (12) installed on the top of the working chamber (14), a camera (13) installed at the bottom of the control panel (12), a longitudinal track (11) of a crane installed on the top of the working chamber, a transverse track (03) of a crane installed on the top of the working chamber, a crane (10) installed on the transverse track of the crane, a mechanical arm (04) installed below the crane, and a mechanical arm bucket installed at the end of the mechanical arm (04). (05) and other structures; the pet owner starts the overhead crane by operating the control panel or remotely operating the control panel in the mobile phone APP, observes the location of the pet's defecation through the camera at the bottom of the control panel, starts the overhead crane to run on the horizontal track and the longitudinal track of the overhead crane, runs to the top of the pet's feces, and then controls the robotic arm and the robotic arm bucket to accurately grab the pet's feces, and then starts the overhead crane to run above the sand inlet of the sewage bin, pours the pet feces in the robotic arm bucket into the sand inlet of the sewage bin, and then the sewage bin water inlet starts to inject water into the sewage bin, and the pet feces are discharged from the sewage bin outlet into the sewer system, and the whole set of work procedures is completed.

[0004] To more efficiently and quickly clean pet waste, our company has developed a machine that utilizes an overhead crane and a robotic arm carrying a bucket to collect and clean pet waste. This machine overcomes the shortcomings of other pet toilets, such as limited space, high energy consumption, poor comfort, inconvenience, and the tendency for fecal odor to spill over and pollute indoor air. This machine utilizes the Internet of Things (IoT) via a mobile phone to remotely control the overhead crane and bucket. A camera at the bottom of the control panel observes the pet's defecation location. The crane and bucket are then controlled via a mobile app or the control panel to collect pet waste and deposit it into a waste bin. Water is then added to the bin, discharging the waste from the bin's outlet through a pipe and into the sewer, completing the complete pet waste cleaning process. This product effectively prevents odor and cat litter from leaking into the home, polluting the home's sanitation environment. Furthermore, this product is more energy-efficient, convenient, comfortable, hygienic, environmentally friendly, and easy to operate. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Attachment Figure 1 This section numbered and named the structural components of each functional area of ​​the Smart IoT Automatic Pet Toilet, and explained the functions of each structural component within the Smart IoT Automatic Pet Toilet. The entire Smart IoT Automatic Pet Toilet consists of 16 structural components. The names, functions, and roles of these 16 structural components are explained below. No. 1 is the sand filling bin cover; it is located on the top of the sand filling bin. Lift the sand filling bin cover and add a sufficient amount of cat litter into the sand filling bin. After adding the cat litter, close the sand filling bin cover. Its function and role is to facilitate the addition of cat litter into the sand filling bin and prevent the cat litter from spilling out, maintain environmental hygiene, and make the smart IoT automatic pet toilet look more beautiful. Number 2 is the working bin sand filling port; it is the channel responsible for connecting the sand filling bin and the working bin, and there is a switch to control the opening or closing of the working bin sand filling port. When the amount of cat litter in the working bin is insufficient, the pet owner can remotely open the switch of the working bin sand filling port through the mobile phone APP. The cat litter in the sand filling bin will automatically flow into the working bin through the working bin sand filling port due to gravity to complete the sand filling. No. 3 overhead crane transverse track; it is a structural component for the horizontal operation of the overhead crane. Its function is to limit the running track of the overhead crane and ensure the stability of the overhead crane operation.

Number 6 is the sand inlet of the sewage bin; it is a square channel connecting the working bin and the sewage bin. The robotic arm bucket grabs and collects the pet feces, then transports and pours it into the sand inlet of the sewage bin. The pet feces is collected and transported from the working bin into the sewage bin. Number 7 is the sewage bin water filling port; it is an interface for injecting water into the sewage bin through a pipeline, and there is a switch to control its opening or closing. By injecting water into the sewage bin, the feces in the sewage bin can be flushed into the sewer system. Number 8 is the sewage outlet of the sewage tank; it is a channel for discharging feces and sewage from the sewage tank together. There is also a switch to control its opening and closing. No. 9 is the sand replenishing bin; it is a chamber used to store cat litter ready to enter the working bin. No. 10 overhead crane; it is the power device that drives the robotic arm and the robotic arm bucket to move on the horizontal track and the longitudinal track of the overhead crane. Its function is to transport the pet feces collected by the robotic arm bucket to the designated location. No. 11: The longitudinal track of the overhead crane; it is a structural component for the longitudinal operation of the overhead crane.
