DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The embodiment of the present invention provides a pet robot, such as Figure 1-8 As shown, it includes a box body 1, in which electronic modules such as a control module, a voice module, and a camera module are fixedly installed. A box cover 2 is installed on the top of the box body 1. Multiple sleeves 7 are welded to the bottom of the inner wall of the box body 1. The sleeves 7 are located in the corners of the box body 1. A vertical connecting column 8 is welded to the bottom of the box cover 2. The lower end of the connecting column 8 can be inserted into the sleeve 7. The lower half of the connecting column 8 is provided with a snap-fit ​​assembly for connecting with the sleeve 7. Multiple pressure detection units 6 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the box body 1. The upper end of the pressure detection unit 6 contacts the box cover 2.

[0030] The circuit detection mechanism 3 is also included. It is located between two adjacent electronic modules and includes an arc tube 31, a weighted ball 32, a light-emitting unit 33, a light-capturing unit 34, and a lifting assembly. The circuit detection mechanism 3 has upwardly tilted ends and is provided with an arc groove in each end. The weighted ball 32 is located in the arc groove. The light-emitting unit 33 is fixedly mounted above the arc tube 31, and the light-capturing unit 34 is fixedly mounted below the arc tube 31. The arc tube 31 has a through hole 311 extending therethrough, which is aligned with the lower end of the arc groove.

[0031] The counterweight ball 32 is fixedly tied with a thin rope 321, which extends outside the arc tube 31 and is connected to the pulling component, and the pulling component is connected to the electronic module.

[0032] When the electronic module works normally, the lifting assembly pulls the weight ball 32 to the highest point of the arc groove. At this time, the light generated by the light emitting unit 33 shines on the light capturing unit 34 through the through hole 311 .

[0033] The lifting assembly consists of a crossbar 35, a magnetic sheet 36, an iron post 37, and a coil 38. The crossbar 35 slides with the magnetic sheet 36, and one end of the crossbar 35 is welded to the iron post 37. A bracket is fixed to the bottom of the inner wall of the box body 1, and the other end of the crossbar 35 is fixed to the bracket. The crossbar 35 is parallel to the iron post 37, and the coil 38 is wrapped around the iron post 37. The electronic module circuit on the same side is electrically connected in series with the coil 38.

[0034] When the electronic module is functioning properly, current flows through coil 38, which in turn generates a magnetic field in conjunction with iron pillar 37. This magnetic field creates a repulsive force with magnetic plate 36, pushing magnetic plate 36 to move, thereby pulling the weighted ball 32 upward. If the electronic module fails, no battery flows through coil 38. Due to its own weight, the weighted ball 32 slides to the lowest point of the arc-shaped slot, thereby blocking the light.

[0035] During maintenance, you only need to open the box cover and energize the circuits of each electronic module separately. By checking whether the light is blocked, you can easily know which module is not working properly.

[0036] The snap-fit ​​assembly includes a support rod 82, a snap-fit ​​block 83 and a large spring 84. A snap-fit ​​hole is provided on the side of the sleeve 7, and a groove 81 is provided in the lower half of the connecting column 8. The upper end of the support rod 82 is welded to the top of the inner wall of the groove 81, and the lower end of the support rod 82 is tilted and welded to the snap-fit ​​block 83. The bottom of the connecting column 8 is welded to the large spring 84, and the snap-fit ​​block 83 can be snapped into the snap-fit ​​hole.

[0037] It also includes a pressing block 9, which corresponds one-to-one to the sleeve 7. One end of the pressing block 9 extends outside the box body 1, and the other end of the pressing block 9 is aligned with the card hole of the sleeve 7. A small spring 91 is welded on the surface of the pressing block 9, and the end of the small spring 91 away from the pressing block 9 is welded to the inner wall of the box body 1.

[0038] Combined with attachment Figure 8 , use your fingers to squeeze the pressing block 9, and the pressing block 9 contacts the snap-fit ​​block 83, so that the snap-fit ​​block 83 disengages from the card hole of the sleeve 7. At this time, the large spring 84 that was originally squeezed expands, pushing the connecting column 8 to rise, so that the box cover 2 automatically moves away from the box body 1.

[0039] A heat dissipation hole is provided on the top of the box cover 2, and a fan 21 is fixedly installed in the heat dissipation hole. Holes 22 are provided on the top of the box cover 2 and around the heat dissipation hole. A movable piece 4 is provided under the box cover 2, and a plurality of soft spikes 41 are fixedly installed on the top of the movable piece 4, and the soft spikes 41 correspond to the holes 22 one by one.

[0040] When a cat sits on the robot, the weight measured by the pressure detection unit 6 increases. The movable plate 4 is manipulated to rise, causing the soft spikes 41 to extend from the box body 1. This repels the cat and prevents it from sitting on the robot and blocking the heat dissipation holes, affecting the normal operation of the fan 21.

[0041] It also includes a base plate 5, a vertical sliding column 51 is welded to the end of the base plate 5, the upper end of the sliding column 51 is welded to the bottom of the box cover 2, a slide 52 is provided on the base plate 5, the end of the slide 52 slides and cooperates with the sliding column 51, a paddle 54 is provided between the base plate 5 and the sliding column 51, one end of the paddle 54 is hinged to the sliding column 51, a motor 23 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the box cover 2, a steel wire 24 is welded to the drive shaft of the motor 23, and the lower end of the steel wire 24 passes through the slide 52 and is welded to the paddle 54.

[0042] During operation, the motor 23 winds up the steel wire 24 , which pulls the paddle 54 . The paddle 54 pushes the slide 52 upwards during its upward flipping process, thereby pushing the movable plate 4 upwards.

[0043] The bottom of the movable sheet 4 is fixedly bonded to the top of the sliding sheet 52 , an air cushion 53 is fixedly installed on the top of the base plate 5 , and a small air pump is fixedly installed in the box body 1 , and the small air pump is connected to the air cushion 53 .

[0044] There is air in the air cushion 53. The air cushion 53 is used to limit the descending distance of the slide 52. Figure 4 、 6 At this point, the soft spikes 41 just block the holes 22, leaving the upper surface of the lid 2 smooth. When heat dissipation is needed, a small air pump draws air out of the air cushion 53, causing it to flatten. The slide 52 then moves downward, increasing air flow through the small holes 23 and improving heat dissipation.

[0045] In summary, the pet robot consists of a box body 1 and a lid 2. A sleeve 7 and a connecting post 8 are provided within the box body 1. A support rod 82 and a snap-fit ​​block 83 secure the sleeve 7 to the connecting post 8. A press block 9 and a large spring 84 then automatically separate the lid 2 from the box body 1, facilitating disassembly and assembly.

[0046] Furthermore, a circuit detection mechanism 3 is installed within the housing 1. It consists of an arc tube 31, a counterweight ball 32, a light-emitting unit 33, a light-capturing unit 34, and a lifting assembly. The lifting assembly includes a crossbar 35, a magnetic plate 36, an iron column 37, and a coil 38. Based on whether the light-capturing unit 34 captures light emitted by the light-emitting unit 33, it infers whether current flowing through the coil 38 is driving the counterweight ball to move, thereby determining whether the robot's internal electronic modules are functioning properly. This facilitates subsequent maintenance, eliminating the need for individual inspections and improving maintenance efficiency.

[0047] Furthermore, a movable plate 4 is provided below the cover 2. Multiple soft spikes 41 are formed on the movable plate 4. The base plate 5, slide post 51, slide plate 52, air cushion 53, paddle 54, and motor 23 work together to lift the movable plate 4, causing the soft spikes 41 to extend from below the cover 2, thus repelling any pet cats sitting on the robot. This prevents the pet cat from blocking the heat dissipation holes in the cover 2.
