[0003] When a pet has health problems, abnormal toileting behavior is often the earliest and most easily observed sign. This is especially true for household pets like cats and dogs, where changes in their excretion habits are often directly related to urinary, digestive, and metabolic diseases. By recording information such as the number and duration of toileting visits, health can be predicted to a certain extent.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0013] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0014] It is understood that the terms "first," "second," and the like used herein may be used to describe various elements herein, but unless otherwise specified, these elements are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish a first unit or module from another unit or module. For example, a first script may be referred to as a second script, and similarly, a second script may be referred to as a first script without departing from the scope of this application.
[0015] Figure 1This is an application environment diagram of the high-precision signal mixing control method provided in the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this application environment, there are several detection terminals 110 and an electrical data processing terminal 120.
[0016] The electronic data processing terminal 120 can be an independent single chip microcomputer, a control chip, a PID control device, a digital or analog integrated circuit, a microcomputer, etc.
[0017] The detection end 110 can be a temperature sensor, an infrared sensor, an infrared temperature detection array, etc., but is not limited thereto. The detection end 110 and the electrical data processing end 120 can be connected by wires, which is not limited in this application.
[0018] In one embodiment, the detection end is a plurality of detection probes that can be pasted inside the cat litter box, and the electrical data processing end is a single-chip microcomputer, which is used to process the signals detected by the probes, generate feedback information, and then execute the output of the information to the Bluetooth receiving device and LED display device for operation.
[0019] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, a high-precision signal mixing control method is proposed. This embodiment mainly applies this method to the above Figure 1 A high-precision signal mixing control method may include the following steps: Step S10: Acquire a first voltage signal input by the dynamic heat source detection module, and perform signal feature detection on the first voltage signal.
[0020] In this embodiment, the dynamic heat source detection module can be a dynamic heat source sensor, motion sensor, or other device used to monitor the presence of moving objects within an area. Preferably, a pyroelectric infrared (PIR) sensor is used. This module is low-cost, has minimal standby time, and is suitable for 24-hour continuous detection. During use, the PIR sensor can be used in conjunction with a Fresnel lens to monitor the area within the litter box.
[0021] In this embodiment, signal signature detection involves monitoring the output voltage and current waveforms of the dynamic heat source detection module. By observing voltage fluctuations and waveforms, it is possible to determine whether a dynamic object has entered the litter box. Compared to an imaging module and its accompanying image processing components, this solution offers lower costs and lower standby power consumption.
[0022] Step S20: After detecting the first trigger signal from the first voltage signal, obtaining the end time of the trigger signal.
[0023] In this embodiment, if Figure 3Figure 2 shows the operating principle of a dynamic heat source detection module. When the module detects the presence and movement of a heat source, it outputs a high-level signal, known as a trigger signal. To facilitate detection by the receiving end, the high-level output lasts for a specific duration, known as the REL duration. The interval between each REL can be very short, meaning that even a brief period of sustained motion can cause the sensor to generate multiple trigger signals, facilitating accurate timing.
[0024] The trigger signals output by different types of dynamic heat source detection modules vary slightly, but the principles are similar and will not be further explained here. For example, the output of sensors such as the YS312 and YS312K is 16-bit data serially output on a single pin. This output can be used to determine whether the signal is a trigger signal or an interference signal.
[0025] In this embodiment, each time the processor receives a trigger signal, the start time and / or end time of the trigger may be stored in the memory.
[0026] Step S30: When the received nth trigger signal ends and no new trigger signal is received after an interval of Δt after the end moment, the static heat source detection module is started to obtain a second voltage signal input by the static heat source detection module.
[0027] Step S40 , analyzing the second voltage signal to obtain a temperature matrix, wherein each element in the temperature matrix is a temperature value detected by a heat source detector in the static heat source detection module.
[0028] In this embodiment, the interval can be selected based on different circumstances and can be several seconds. If no new trigger signal is received after an interval of ∆t after the end time, it means that the pet is no longer active in the area, that is, has left the litter box. At this point, the static heat source detection module is activated to perform detection, eliminating the need for the processor to process multiple channels of information simultaneously, thus reducing hardware performance requirements.
[0029] Preferably, the static heat source detection module adopts a thermopile array, which is composed of several heat source detectors arranged in an array of 8*8, 16*16, etc., and outputs an array temperature information. The temperature of each local position in the cat litter box can be obtained through this sensor. When the sensor works, it can be used in conjunction with Figure 4 The lens shown enables each heat source detector in the array to measure the temperature of a specific area in the litter box. Compared to traditional thermal imaging equipment, this solution is less expensive. The lens shape is not limited.
[0030] Step S50 , analyzing the temperature matrix to obtain elements whose measured temperatures exceed a threshold temperature, setting them as high-temperature elements; and outputting different status information based on information on changes in the high-temperature elements over time.
[0031] In this embodiment, the temperature matrix represents the temperature values of different areas in the cat litter box. By obtaining these temperature data and analyzing the changes in these temperature data over time, such as the temperature diffusion and the temperature value change rate, different pet toilet status information can be obtained.
[0032] Because cat litter exhibits different temperature-time curves when exposed to solid and liquid feces, analyzing this data reveals specific defecation patterns and outputs corresponding status information, such as defecation and urination status. By recording or sending notifications, users can be urged to take appropriate action to prevent prolonged odor.
[0033] In this embodiment, after the system status information is output, the control system may also perform initialization, shut down the static heat source detection module, start the dynamic heat source detection module, and perform the next round of detection.
[0034] In the embodiments of the present application, the advantage is that, based on this method, the processor does not need AI computing power, and the basic MCU can process the signal; the system can use traditional common sensors for detection, such as the combination of PIR and thermopile, to replace cameras and thermal imagers, significantly reducing hardware costs; the low-power dynamic module is always on, and the high-power module works intermittently based on demand, and the whole machine can be on standby for several months; a timing design that combines dynamic triggering with static detection is used to accurately match the pet toilet process and achieve high detection accuracy; there is no need to use cameras or imagers, avoiding user privacy disputes.
[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the method further comprises: Get the start time of the first received trigger signal , get the end time of the received nth trigger signal ; Get the total trigger time of the signal: ; Based on the total trigger time, the duration of the pet's single toilet visit is obtained.
[0036] In this embodiment, the duration of a single toileting visit can be approximated by analyzing the total time a pet spends in the litter box. It is understood that a pet may play in the litter box and not necessarily have defecated during the visit. To prevent pets from briefly leaving and returning, a single toileting visit is considered complete if the interval between consecutive trigger signals is less than a certain preset time.
[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the method for obtaining the threshold temperature is: Let the temperature matrix be P: in, Represents the temperature value of the element in row i and column j; Converting the temperature matrix into a one-dimensional array, and arranging the elements in the one-dimensional array in ascending order to obtain an ascending array; Get the first q elements of an array in ascending order: , and get the threshold temperature: in, is the threshold temperature, is the qth element in the ascending array, is the preset temperature rise.
[0038] In this embodiment of the present application, considering that the heat source of pet excretion only occupies a small area in the cat litter box scene, the lowest temperature area represents the actual ambient background temperature. Based on this method, interference of the heat source on the background temperature estimation can be avoided.
[0039] The sensor is sensitive to temperature rise values, which are preset at different values. When a pet defecates, the local temperature in the litter box rises significantly, and the sensor is sensitive enough to detect even small temperature changes. This method requires no manual calibration and adapts to temperature fluctuations caused by seasonal weather. The q value can be adjusted as needed.
[0040] In a preferred embodiment, the method for outputting different system status information based on the time-varying information of the high-temperature element is: Obtain the preset detection time, obtain the change in the number of the high-temperature elements over time, and perform the following judgment: If the number of the high-temperature elements remains zero within the detection time, first status information is output, where the first status information indicates that the pet has not defecated. If the amount of the high-temperature elements is less than the amount threshold and does not change within the detection time, then outputting second state information, where the second state information is used to indicate that the pet has defecated; If the quantity of the high-temperature elements is higher than the quantity threshold, or lower than the quantity threshold but increases over time within the detection time, third state information is output, and the third state information is used to indicate that the pet has urinated.
[0041] In the embodiment of the present application, the number of high-temperature elements is 0, indicating that the pet has not defecated and is simply playing or burying in the sand. The number of high-temperature areas is less than the threshold and remains constant, indicating that the excrement is solid and its position remains unchanged. The high-temperature areas are small in area and few in number. Because cat litter is hygroscopic and diffusive, the temperature diffuses significantly under the influence of liquid after urination, and the temperature of multiple areas will gradually increase over time; urine affects many areas and a large area. Therefore, based on the number of high-temperature areas and their changing trends over time, the specific excretion situation of the pet can be obtained. This method has precise analysis and high accuracy.
[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the preset detection time and the change of the numerical information of the high-temperature element over time are obtained, and the following judgment is performed: If the temperature value of the high-temperature element decreases at a rate higher than the preset threshold rate and the time it takes to reach the ambient temperature is short (generally within 5 minutes), the second state information is output, indicating solid. If the temperature value of the high-temperature element decreases at a rate lower than the preset threshold rate and the time it takes to reach the ambient temperature is long (generally 10-15 minutes), the third state information is output.
[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, since the specific heat capacity of solids and liquids is greatly different, it is possible to determine whether the excrement is solid or liquid through the above-mentioned refined numerical analysis method.
[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the type of excrement can also be obtained through modeling. The values of high-temperature elements corresponding to solid excrement generally satisfy the following relationship: in, is the temperature of the high-temperature element; is the ambient temperature; Take your pet's temperature; is the cooling coefficient, for example, 0.02–0.05s⁻¹. Values that closely follow the temperature-time pattern of the above function can be considered solid excrement. Otherwise, they correspond to liquid excrement.
