Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pet air purification technology, specifically to pet air purifier control methods, devices, pet air purifiers, media, and products. Background Technology
[0002] With the increase in pet ownership rates in cities, the number of pet owners, especially young people, has increased. They have higher requirements for the quality of pet products and are willing to invest in products that improve the living environment of their pets. Consumers are paying more and more attention to the air quality in their homes. Allergens and odors caused by pets have prompted them to seek solutions. As a result, pet air purifiers have emerged.
[0003] Generally, existing pet air purifiers not only purify the air but also add some extra functions, such as pet odor detection. However, few add functions such as pet interaction or intelligent pet play. In particular, when users are not at home or are too busy to interact with their pets, the pets may feel lonely, which can affect their physical and mental health. How to interact with pets and increase fun has become a problem that needs to be further solved. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a pet air purifier control method to solve the problem that users cannot interact with their pets when they are not at home.
[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for controlling a pet air purifier, the method comprising:
[0006] Determine if the pet-playing feature is enabled;
[0007] When the pet-playing function is activated, the pet-playing device and the drive mechanism are activated, and the drive mechanism drives the pet-playing device to move.
[0008] Detect the pet's movement parameters, or detect the pet's movement parameters and environmental parameters;
[0009] Determine whether the motion parameter is greater than a preset value;
[0010] If the motion parameter is greater than the preset value, the drive mechanism is controlled to continuously drive the pet-playing device to move.
[0011] Beneficial effects: By first determining whether the pet-entertainment function is enabled, when it is, the pet-entertainment device and drive mechanism are activated. The drive mechanism moves the pet-entertainment device, allowing it to interact with the pet and increasing fun. By detecting the pet's movement parameters and comparing them with preset values, when the pet's movement parameters are greater than the preset values, it indicates that the pet is very interested in interacting with the pet-entertainment device. At this time, the drive mechanism is controlled to continuously move the pet-entertainment device, so that the pet purifier can control the state of the pet-entertainment device based on the interaction feedback with the pet. This allows the pet purifier to better match the interaction with the pet, even when the user is not at home or is too busy to interact with the pet, the pet purifier can still better achieve interaction with the pet, enhancing interactivity and fun.
[0012] In one optional implementation, controlling the drive mechanism to continuously move the pet-playing device specifically includes:
[0013] The operating parameters of the drive mechanism are controlled to adjust the operating parameters that allow the drive mechanism to continuously drive the pet-playing device.
[0014] Beneficial effects: When the pet's movement parameters exceed the preset value, the control drive mechanism changes its working parameters to adjust the working parameters that continuously drive the pet-teasing device. This allows the working parameters of the pet-teasing device to change according to the pet's movement parameters, rather than remaining constant. This provides more stimulation to the pet, prevents the pet from getting bored, and enhances interactivity.
[0015] In one optional implementation, controlling the drive mechanism to change its operating parameters specifically includes:
[0016] The operating parameters of the drive mechanism are positively correlated with the movement parameters of the pet.
[0017] Beneficial effects: When the pet's movement parameters are greater than the preset value, it means that the pet is very interested in the pet-entertaining device. At this time, by controlling the working parameters of the drive mechanism to be positively correlated with the pet's movement parameters, it can bring greater stimulation to the pet. This prevents the pet from gradually losing interest in the pet-entertaining device if the working parameters of the drive mechanism are reduced, thus ensuring the interaction effect.
[0018] In one optional implementation, if the motion parameter is less than or equal to the preset value, the pet-playing device is turned off.
[0019] Beneficial effect: When the pet's movement parameters are less than or equal to the preset value, it indicates that the pet is not interested in the pet-entertaining device. At this time, turning off the pet-entertaining device can reduce energy consumption.
[0020] In one alternative implementation, the method includes, before turning off the pet-playing device:
[0021] Control the drive mechanism to run the pet-playing device continuously for a preset time using default operating parameters;
[0022] Detect your pet's movement parameters;
[0023] Determine whether the motion parameter is greater than a preset value;
[0024] If the motion parameters are less than or equal to the preset value, then the pet-playing device is turned off.
[0025] Beneficial effects: To prevent false detections and ensure detection accuracy, after detecting that the motion parameters are less than or equal to the preset value, the drive mechanism can continue to operate the pet-teasing device for a preset time with the default working parameters. Then, the pet's motion parameters are detected again. If the pet's motion parameters are still less than or equal to the preset value, it indicates that the pet is indeed not interested in the pet-teasing device, and the pet-teasing device can be turned off directly to reduce energy consumption.
[0026] In one optional implementation, if the motion parameter is less than or equal to the preset value, the pet-playing device is turned off, and then the method includes:
[0027] Determine if the pet has left the interaction area;
[0028] If the pet has left the interaction area, the pet suction mode will be activated.
[0029] Beneficial effects: Pets generally shed, especially after interacting with pet-playing devices for a long time. Pets are more likely to shed after prolonged exercise. Therefore, after turning off the pet-playing device, you can determine whether the pet has left the interaction area. If the pet has left the interaction area, you can turn on the hair removal mode to remove the pet's hair and ensure a clean environment.
[0030] In one optional implementation, determining whether the pet-playing function is enabled specifically includes:
[0031] Determine if the pet has entered the interaction range;
[0032] If the pet has entered the interaction range, the pet-teasing function is activated.
[0033] Beneficial effects: When determining whether the pet interaction function is enabled, it can be determined whether the pet has entered the interaction range. If the pet has entered the interaction range, it can be interacted with, and the pet interaction function can be enabled at this time. The determination method is relatively simple.
[0034] In one optional implementation, determining whether the pet-playing function is enabled, the previously described method includes:
[0035] Determine if the user has selected the pet-playing mode;
[0036] If the user selects the pet-playing mode, then it is determined whether the pet-playing function is enabled.
[0037] Beneficial effects: Since pets move around at home, to prevent them from accidentally activating the pet-playing function by moving into the interaction area, the system can determine whether the user has selected the pet-playing mode before determining whether the pet-playing function is activated. If the user has selected the pet-playing mode, the system can further determine whether the pet-playing function is activated, so that the pet-playing function is only activated when the user selects it. This allows for more precise setting of the pet air purifier's working mode and reduces energy consumption.
[0038] Secondly, the present invention also provides a pet air purifier control device, the device comprising:
[0039] The first judgment module is used to determine whether the pet-teasing function is enabled. When the pet-teasing function is enabled, the pet-teasing device and the drive mechanism are activated, and the drive mechanism drives the pet-teasing device to move.
[0040] The detection module is used to detect the pet's movement parameters;
[0041] The second judgment module is used to determine whether the motion parameter is greater than a preset value. If the motion parameter is greater than the preset value, the drive mechanism is controlled to continuously drive the pet-playing device to move.
[0042] Thirdly, the present invention provides a pet air purifier, including a main control unit, the main control unit comprising:
[0043] The system includes a memory and a processor, which are interconnected. The memory stores computer instructions, and the processor executes these computer instructions to perform the aforementioned pet air purifier control method.
[0044] In one alternative implementation, the pet purifier includes:
[0045] The main control unit and the purification unit are mounted on the main body.
[0046] A sensor, mounted on the body, is used to detect the pet's movement parameters.
[0047] In one alternative implementation, the pet purifier includes:
[0048] A pet relaxation unit, connected to the top of the main body, provides a pet relaxation space;
[0049] A connecting unit is located between the pet leisure unit and the main body, and the connecting unit is equipped with the pet-playing device and the drive mechanism.
[0050] Beneficial effects: By setting up the pet purifier to include a pet relaxation unit and a connection unit, the pet relaxation unit can provide a resting space for pets, increasing the practicality of the pet purifier, while the connection unit can easily set up pet-entertaining devices and drive mechanisms, making the overall structure of the pet purifier more compact and simple.
[0051] Fourthly, the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium storing computer instructions for causing a computer to perform the pet air purifier control method described in the first aspect or any corresponding embodiment thereof.
[0052] Fifthly, the present invention provides a computer program product, including computer instructions for causing a computer to execute the pet air purifier control method described in the first aspect or any corresponding embodiment thereof. Attached Figure Description

[0064] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0065] With the increase in pet ownership rates in cities, the number of pet owners, especially young people, has increased. They have higher requirements for the quality of pet products and are willing to invest in products that improve the living environment of their pets. Consumers are paying more and more attention to the air quality in their homes. Allergens and odors caused by pets have prompted them to seek solutions. As a result, pet air purifiers have emerged.
[0066] Generally, existing pet air purifiers not only purify the air but also add some extra functions, such as pet odor detection. However, few add functions such as pet interaction or intelligent pet play. In particular, when users are not at home or are too busy to interact with their pets, the pets may feel lonely, which can affect their physical and mental health. How to interact with pets and increase fun has become a problem that needs to be further solved.
[0067] A related technology discloses an intelligent laser pet teaser that can attract pets to play by emitting light through a laser light. However, it can only detect whether the pet is approaching. When the pet approaches, it turns on the laser light and emits light. It also starts a timer to count the time the laser light is emitted. When the preset time is reached, the intelligent laser pet teaser can automatically enter a standby state. However, it does not know whether the pet is interested in the light while playing with it, and it does not consider the pet's feedback. As a result, the pet may lose interest in the light after playing for a while. The interactivity with the pet is not strong, and it cannot truly establish an interactive relationship with the pet.
[0068] Based on this, the present invention provides a pet air purifier, which includes a main control unit. The main control unit is used to control and adjust the drive mechanism and pet-entertaining device according to the pet's feedback, and to interact with the pet. For the specific working process, please refer to the relevant description of the method embodiment below, which will not be repeated here.
[0069] like Figure 3 As shown, the pet purifier provided in this embodiment of the invention further includes: a body 1, on which a main control unit and a purification unit are provided; a sensor 2, on which the body 1 is located, for detecting the movement parameters of the pet; a pet leisure unit 3, connected to the top of the body 1, having a pet leisure space; and a connecting unit 4, located between the pet leisure unit 3 and the body 1, on which a pet-teasing device and a drive mechanism are provided.
[0070] The pet purifier of the present invention includes a pet-entertaining device and a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism can move the pet-entertaining device, which is used to interact with the pet. By setting a sensor 2, the sensor 2 can detect the pet's movement parameters. The main control unit can compare the pet's movement parameters with preset values and control the movement of the drive mechanism and the pet-entertaining device according to the pet's movement parameters. This allows the pet purifier to adjust the movement of the pet-entertaining device based on the pet's interactive feedback, thereby making the interaction between the pet purifier and the pet more targeted and stronger. The inclusion of the main body 1, the pet leisure unit 3, and the connecting unit 4 also makes the overall structure of the pet purifier more compact and simpler.
[0071] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for controlling a pet air purifier is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.
[0072] This embodiment provides a pet air purifier control method, which can be used in the main control unit of the pet air purifier, such as a CPU or a microcontroller. Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a pet air purifier control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the process includes the following steps:
[0073] Step S101: Determine whether the pet-playing function is enabled. If the pet-playing function is enabled, proceed to step S102; if the pet-playing function is not enabled, no operation is performed.
[0074] Step S102: Turn on the pet-playing device and the drive mechanism, and the drive mechanism will cause the pet-playing device to move.
[0075] Specifically, the pet-entertaining device is a laser light 5, and the driving mechanism is a motor 6. The motor 6 drives the laser light 5 to rotate, causing the light beam 51 emitted by the laser light 5 to move, thereby interacting with the pet and increasing the fun. As an alternative implementation, the pet-entertaining device can be other types of lights that can emit light and move under the drive of the motor 6. Alternatively, the pet-entertaining device can be a sound and light generator that can emit both light and sound, such as music, allowing interaction with the pet while cultivating the pet's temperament. As an alternative implementation, the motor 6 can also drive the laser light 5 to perform translational movement. As an alternative implementation, the driving mechanism can also be other devices that drive the movement of the pet-entertaining device; no further restrictions are imposed here.
[0076] Step S103: Detect the pet's movement parameters.
[0077] Specifically, the pet's movement parameter is its speed. In practical use, the pet's speed can be detected using a human body sensor. Alternatively, the pet's movement parameter could be acceleration, which can be used to detect acceleration or deceleration, helping to understand the pet's dynamic behavior; or other parameters characterizing movement, such as direction of movement, which allows understanding of its movement path and exploratory behavior by monitoring changes in direction; positional movement, which helps the device more accurately locate the pet and adjust the way it is interacted with; gait analysis, which helps identify the pet's emotional state or health status by analyzing its gait characteristics, such as stride length and frequency; and posture, which allows for richer interactive scenarios by capturing the pet's posture through sensors or cameras, such as lying down, standing, or jumping. Alternatively, other types of sensors can be used to detect the pet's speed.
[0078] Step S104: Determine whether the motion parameters are greater than preset values. If the motion parameters are greater than preset values, proceed to step S105.
[0079] Specifically, the preset value is 1 m / s. As an alternative implementation, the preset value can also be other values, such as 1.5 m / s, without further restrictions.
[0080] Step S105: Control the drive mechanism to continuously drive the pet-playing device to move.
[0081] Specifically, the control drive mechanism continuously moves the pet-entertaining device, that is, the motor 6 continuously drives the laser light 5 to rotate, so that the light 51 emitted by the laser light 5 moves with the rotation of the motor 6, thus better interacting with the pet. Since the pet's movement parameters are greater than the preset value, it indicates that the pet is very interested in the light 51 emitted by the laser light 5. At this time, the light 51 emitted by the laser light 5 can be made to move continuously to further ensure the interactivity between the pet purifier and the pet.
[0082] The pet air purifier control method provided in this embodiment first determines whether the pet-entertaining function is enabled. When the pet-entertaining function is enabled, the pet-entertaining device and the drive mechanism are activated. The drive mechanism drives the pet-entertaining device to move, allowing it to interact with the pet and increase fun. By detecting the pet's movement parameters and comparing them with preset values, when the pet's movement parameters are greater than the preset values, it indicates that the pet is very interested in interacting with the pet-entertaining device. At this time, the drive mechanism is controlled to continuously drive the pet-entertaining device to move, so that the pet air purifier can control the state of the pet-entertaining device based on the interaction feedback with the pet. This allows the pet air purifier to better match the interaction with the pet, even when the user is not at home or is too busy to interact with the pet, the pet air purifier can still better achieve interaction with the pet, enhancing interactivity and fun.
[0083] In an optional embodiment, step S103 may further include simultaneously detecting environmental parameters, that is, combining the pet's movement parameters with environmental parameters, since parameters such as ambient temperature and humidity can also affect the pet's behavior, thereby adjusting the pet-playing strategy. By comprehensively utilizing these parameters, the pet air purifier can not only interact with the pet more accurately, but also better meet the pet's needs and improve the user experience. As a variant implementation, step S103 may also simply include detecting the pet's movement parameters.
[0084] In an optional embodiment, step S101 specifically includes:
[0085] Determine if the pet is within the interaction range. If the pet is within the interaction range, the pet-playing function is enabled; if the pet is not within the interaction range, the pet-playing function is disabled. This method of determination is relatively simple.
[0086] To prevent pets from running around and potentially damaging household items, a defined interaction range for the pet is established. The pet interaction function is activated only when the pet is within this range. Specifically, the interaction range refers to a 2-meter radius around the pet purifier's main unit 1. Alternatively, the interaction range could be 1.5 meters or 3 meters around the pet purifier's main unit 1, or other distances. Users can set this range according to their specific needs; no further restrictions are imposed here.
[0087] In this system, the presence of a pet within the interaction range can be determined by whether a human sensor can detect the pet's movement parameters. If the human sensor can detect the pet's movement parameters within the interaction range, it indicates that the pet has arrived. Alternatively, a camera can be used to determine whether the pet has arrived within the interaction range; if the camera can capture the pet within the interaction range, it indicates that the pet has arrived. Another alternative implementation is that sensor 2 can determine whether the pet has arrived within the interaction range based on its own algorithm data fusion and analysis, such as using an infrared sensor or radar.
[0088] In an optional embodiment, step S105 specifically includes:
[0089] The control drive mechanism changes its operating parameters to adjust the parameters that allow it to continuously drive the pet-playing device.
[0090] Specifically, controlling the drive mechanism to change its operating parameters means controlling the rotation speed of motor 6 to adjust the speed at which motor 6 drives laser light 5, thereby adjusting the movement speed of the light beam 51 emitted by laser light 5. In actual operation, the speed of motor 6 can be increased to make motor 6 drive laser light 5 to rotate faster, or the speed of motor 6 can be decreased to make motor 6 drive laser light 5 to rotate slower. While motor 6 is continuously driving laser light 5, the speed of motor 6 can also be periodically increased and decreased to provide pets with different interactive experiences from the light beam 51 emitted by laser light 5.
[0091] When the pet's movement parameters exceed the preset value, the control drive mechanism changes its operating parameters to adjust the operating parameters that continuously drive the pet-teasing device. This allows the operating parameters of the pet-teasing device to change according to the pet's movement parameters, rather than remaining constant. This provides more stimulation to the pet, prevents the pet from getting bored, and enhances interactivity.
[0092] In one embodiment, controlling the drive mechanism to change its operating parameters specifically includes:
[0093] The operating parameters of the control drive mechanism are positively correlated with the pet's movement parameters. Specifically, the rotational speed Y of the control motor 6 is positively correlated with the pet's movement speed X, where Y = aX. Here, a can be selected within the range of 1.2-1.5. However, since the rotational speed of the motor 6 itself has an upper limit, if aX exceeds the maximum speed of the motor 6, the motor 6 can only operate at its maximum speed until the pet's movement speed is less than or equal to a preset value. As an alternative implementation, a can be selected within other ranges; no further restrictions are imposed here.
[0094] When the pet's movement parameters are greater than the preset value, it indicates that the pet is very interested in the pet-entertaining device. At this time, by controlling the working parameters of the drive mechanism to be positively correlated with the pet's movement parameters, it can bring greater stimulation to the pet. This prevents the working parameters of the drive mechanism from being reduced, which would cause the pet to gradually lose interest in the pet-entertaining device, thus ensuring the interaction effect.
[0095] Of course, in other embodiments, the operating parameters of the drive mechanism can be controlled to be intermittently positively or negatively correlated with the pet's motion parameters, or the operating parameters of the drive mechanism can be controlled to be negatively correlated with the pet's motion parameters.
[0096] In an optional embodiment, if the motion parameter is less than or equal to a preset value in step S104, then step S106 is executed.
[0097] Step S106: Turn off the pet-playing device.
[0098] Specifically, this means turning off laser light 5, thus stopping the interaction between the light emitted by laser light 5 and the pet.
[0099] When the pet's movement parameters are less than or equal to the preset values, it indicates that the pet is not interested in the pet-entertaining device. At this time, turning off the pet-entertaining device can reduce energy consumption.
[0100] Alternatively, the pet-playing device and the drive mechanism can be turned off simultaneously to minimize energy consumption.
[0101] In an optional embodiment, prior to step S106, the pet air purifier control method further includes:
[0102] Step S106': Control the drive mechanism to run the pet-playing device continuously for a preset time using default operating parameters;
[0103] Then, the pet's movement parameters are checked again, and it is determined whether the movement parameters are greater than the preset value. This is the same as steps S103 and S104 above, and will not be repeated here.
[0104] If the motion parameter is less than or equal to the preset value, proceed to step S106; if the motion parameter is greater than the preset value, proceed to step S105.
[0105] In step S106', the motor 6 is controlled to drive the laser lamp 5 to run continuously at a default rotation speed for a preset time. Specifically, the default rotation speed is 1 m / s and the preset time is 3 min. As an alternative implementation, the default rotation speed can be 1.5 m / s. As an alternative implementation, the preset time can be 2 min, 4 min, or other specific times; no specific limitation is made here.
[0106] To prevent false detections and ensure accuracy, after detecting that the motion parameters are less than or equal to the preset value, the drive mechanism can continue to operate the pet-playing device for a preset time with the default operating parameters. Then, the pet's motion parameters are detected again. If the pet's motion parameters are still less than or equal to the preset value, it indicates that the pet is indeed not interested in the pet-playing device, and the device can be turned off directly to reduce energy consumption.
[0107] Of course, in other embodiments, the above operation may not be performed before step S106, but the pet-teasing device may be turned off directly when the motion parameters are less than or equal to the preset value.
[0108] In an optional embodiment, after step S106, the pet air purifier control method further includes:
[0109] Step S107: Determine if the pet has left the interaction range. If the pet has left the interaction range, proceed to step S108; otherwise, no action is taken.
[0110] Specifically, the interaction range refers to a 2-meter radius around the body 1 of the pet purifier. As an alternative implementation, the interaction range can also be a 1.5-meter or 3-meter radius around the body 1 of the pet purifier, or other distances. Users can set the range according to their actual needs, and there are no further restrictions here.
[0111] Specifically, determining whether a pet has left the interaction range can be achieved by checking if the human sensor can detect the pet's movement parameters within the interaction range. If the human sensor cannot detect the pet's movement parameters within the interaction range, it indicates that the pet has left the interaction range. Alternatively, it can be determined by checking if a camera can capture the pet within the interaction range. If the camera cannot capture the pet within the interaction range, it indicates that the pet has left the interaction range. Another alternative implementation is that sensor 2 can determine whether the pet has left the interaction range based on its own algorithm data fusion and analysis, such as using an infrared sensor or radar.
[0112] Step S108: Turn on the hair suction mode.
[0113] Specifically, the pet purifier's purification unit can achieve a hair-collecting mode, which is also the air purification mode of the pet purifier. The purification unit of the pet purifier includes an air inlet, a purification motor, and an air outlet. A hair removal screen and a filter screen can be installed at the air inlet. The hair removal screen is located in front of the filter screen, and the purification motor is located between the air inlet and the air outlet. When the purification motor is activated, air mixed with pet hair enters through the air inlet, and the hair can be adsorbed onto the hair removal screen. After the air is filtered by the filter screen, it is discharged through the air outlet.
[0114] Pets generally shed, especially after prolonged interaction with pet-playing devices. Pets are more prone to shedding after extended periods of exercise. Therefore, after turning off the pet-playing device, you can check if your pet has left the interaction area. If your pet has left the interaction area, you can turn on the pet hair removal mode to remove the pet's fur and ensure a clean environment.
[0115] like Figure 2 As shown, in an optional embodiment, before step S101, the pet purifier control method further includes:
[0116] S101': Determine whether the user has selected the pet-playing mode. If the user has selected the pet-playing mode, proceed to step S101; otherwise, no action is taken.
[0117] Specifically, a "Playful Pet Mode" button can be set on the pet purifier, allowing users to select this mode. Alternatively, the user's mobile phone or computer can connect to the pet purifier wirelessly, allowing the user to select the "Playful Pet Mode" via their phone or computer. In actual use, users can choose according to their actual needs; no further restrictions are imposed here.
[0118] Since pets move around at home, to prevent them from accidentally activating the pet-playing function by moving into the interaction area, the system can determine whether the user has selected the pet-playing mode before determining whether the pet-playing function is activated. If the user has selected the pet-playing mode, the system can further determine whether the pet-playing function is activated, so that the pet-playing function is only activated when the user selects it. This allows for more precise setting of the pet air purifier's working mode and reduces energy consumption.
[0119] One embodiment provides a pet air purifier control method, such as Figure 2As shown, the system first determines whether the user has selected the "pet-playing" mode. If the user has selected this mode, it checks whether the pet has entered the interaction range. If the pet has entered the interaction range, the "pet-playing" function is activated. At this time, laser light 5 and motor 6 are turned on. Motor 6 drives laser light 5 to rotate, causing the light beam 51 emitted by laser light 5 to move. The pet's movement speed is then detected to determine if it is greater than a preset value. If the pet's movement speed is greater than the preset value, motor 6 is controlled to continuously drive laser light 5 to rotate. During the continuous rotation of laser light 5 by motor 6, the rotation speed of motor 6 can be varied to make the rotation speed of motor 6 positively correlated with the pet's movement speed. This allows the interaction of the pet purifier to be further adjusted based on the pet's movement feedback, making the pet purifier more targeted in its interaction with the pet and enhancing the fun. If the pet's movement speed is less than or equal to the preset value, motor 6 is controlled to drive laser light 5 at the default speed for 3 minutes. Then, the pet's movement speed is detected again and compared with the preset value. If the pet's movement speed is still less than or equal to the preset value, laser light 5 is turned off to reduce energy consumption.
[0120] This embodiment also provides a pet air purifier control device, which is used to implement the above embodiments and preferred embodiments; details already described will not be repeated. As used below, the term "module" can refer to a combination of software and / or hardware that implements a predetermined function. Although the device described in the following embodiments is preferably implemented in software, hardware implementation, or a combination of software and hardware, is also possible and contemplated.
[0121] This embodiment provides a pet air purifier control device for achieving the aforementioned... Figures 1 to 2 The pet air purifier control method shown is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the control device includes: a first judgment module 201, a detection module 202, and a second judgment module 203. Furthermore, the device may include other units or modules, either more or fewer.
[0122] The first judgment module 201 is used to determine whether the pet teasing function is enabled. When the pet teasing function is enabled, the pet teasing device and the drive mechanism are activated, and the drive mechanism drives the pet teasing device to move.
[0123] The detection module 202 is used to detect the pet's movement parameters.
[0124] The second judgment module 203 is used to determine whether the motion parameters are greater than the preset value. If the motion parameters are greater than the preset value, the drive mechanism is controlled to continuously drive the pet-playing device to move.
[0125] The further functional descriptions of the above modules and units are the same as those of the corresponding method embodiments described above, and will not be repeated here.
[0126] In this embodiment, the pet air purifier control device is presented in the form of a functional unit. Here, a unit refers to an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) circuit, a processor 10 and a memory 20 that execute one or more software or fixed programs, and / or other devices that can provide the above functions.
[0127] This invention also provides a pet air purifier, comprising:
[0128] The main control unit and the purification unit are located on the main body 1.
[0129] Sensor 2, located on the body 1, is used to detect the pet's movement parameters.
[0130] like Figure 3 As shown, the pet air purifier includes:
[0131] The pet relaxation unit 3 is connected to the top of the main body 1 and provides a pet relaxation space;
[0132] The connecting unit 4 is located between the pet leisure unit 3 and the main body 1. The connecting unit 4 is equipped with a pet-playing device and a drive mechanism.
[0133] Specifically, sensor 2 is a human body sensor. This human body sensor can combine with multiple sensors (such as infrared and radar) and, through data fusion and analysis with its own algorithm, can more accurately determine if a pet is approaching. Furthermore, it can determine the pet's movement speed using infrared and radar rays. As an alternative implementation, sensor 2 can also be other types of sensors; no further restrictions are imposed here.
[0134] like Figure 3 As shown, sensor 2 is located in the middle of the body 1, which facilitates increasing the sensing range of sensor 2 and improving accuracy. As an alternative implementation, sensor 2 can also be placed in other positions, as long as it is unobstructed and allows for convenient drawing, and can be placed at a higher position.
[0135] Specifically, the pet-entertaining device is a laser light 5, and the driving mechanism is a motor 6, which can be a stepper motor. The motor 6 and the laser light 5 are located inside the connecting unit 4. A transparent window 9 is provided on the outer wall of the connecting unit 4, allowing the light 51 of the laser light 5 to be projected onto the ground through the transparent window 9. Pets are generally very interested in moving light 51 or light spots. By driving the laser light 5 to rotate through the motor 6, the light 51 of the laser light 5 can be moved, thus achieving the function of teasing the pet. As an alternative implementation, the pet-entertaining device can also be other types of lights that can emit light and move under the drive of the motor 6. Alternatively, the pet-entertaining device can be a sound and light generator that can emit both light and sound, such as music, allowing interaction with the pet while cultivating the pet's temperament. As an alternative implementation, the motor 6 can also drive the laser light 5 to perform translational movement. As an alternative implementation, the driving mechanism can also be other types of motors or other devices that drive the pet-entertaining device to move; no further restrictions are imposed here.
[0136] There are many ways to connect the pet-playing device and the drive mechanism. In one embodiment, the motor 6 is fixedly connected to the inside of the connection unit 4 via a motor bracket 7. Specifically, for example... Figure 4 As shown, the motor bracket 7 can be fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting unit 4 with screws. The motor bracket 7 has a slot, and the motor 6 is inserted into the slot. A laser light placement bracket 8 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 6. The laser light placement bracket 8 has a slot, and the laser light 5 is inserted into the slot. When the motor 6 rotates, it drives the entire laser light placement bracket 8, which holds the laser light 5, to rotate, thereby achieving the effect of moving the light beam 51 emitted by the laser light 5. The motor 6 can drive the laser light 5 to rotate back and forth through the rotating shaft. The movement trajectory can be changed at will according to the main control signal, increasing the diversity and fun of the pet-fun function. As an alternative implementation, the pet-fun device and the drive mechanism can also be connected in other forms, without much restriction here.
[0137] like Figure 3 As shown, the connecting unit 4 is located between the body 1 and the pet leisure unit 3. Since the motor 6 and the laser light 5 are located inside the connecting unit 4, in order to ensure that the light 51 of the laser light 5 can be emitted normally, a transparent window 9 is provided on the outer wall of the connecting unit 4, and the light 51 of the laser light 5 is emitted outward from the transparent window 9.
[0138] Since the laser light 5 is angled towards the ground, the emission range of the laser light 51 can be set within the interactive range of the pet purifier by adjusting the placement height and emission angle of the laser light 5.
[0139] like Figure 3As shown, the top of the unit 1 is equipped with a pet relaxation unit 3. The pet relaxation unit 3 includes a relaxation body 31, a pet seat 32, and a bell 33. The relaxation body 31 is arranged in a ring shape, and the center of the ring-shaped pet relaxation unit 3 is hollow. The hollow part contains the pet seat 32, which forms a pet relaxation space where pets can sit, lie down, and play. At the same time, the bell 33 is located on the top inner side of the hollow part. The bell 33 can emit a sound to attract pets, further enhancing the interactive effect of the pet air purifier.
[0140] The unit 1 is equipped with a purification unit, such as an air inlet at the bottom and an air outlet on the side. A filter is installed at the air inlet, and a purification motor is located in the middle of the unit. When the purification motor operates, air enters through the air inlet, passes through the filter, and then flows out through the air outlet, completing the air purification function. In addition to purification, a pet hair removal screen is also located outside the filter at the air inlet. In pet hair removal mode, pet hair is attracted to the screen, thus achieving both air purification and hair removal functions.
[0141] The main body 1 can be equipped with buttons, such as a button for pet-playing mode and buttons for hair-collecting mode or air-purifying mode. Users can use these buttons to select either pet-playing mode or simply hair-collecting or air-purifying mode. Alternatively, users can select pet-playing mode via a mobile app on their phone or computer, and then the pet-playing mode will be activated.
[0142] In one embodiment, the hair-sucking mode and the air-purifying mode are the same mode. Alternatively, the hair-sucking mode and the air-purifying mode can be set as two different modes, such as by varying the motor's operating power; the motor operates at a higher power in the hair-sucking mode and a lower power in the air-purifying mode.
[0143] The pet air purifier of the present invention combines a human body sensor with a motor 6 and a laser light 5. The human body sensor can intelligently detect the pet's trajectory and analyze the pet's status. Once the pet approaches the pet air purifier and it is determined that the pet-entertaining function needs to be activated, the motor 6 and the laser light 5 work together to move, and the light 51 of the laser light 5 is used to achieve the pet-entertaining function, so that even when the user is not at home, the pet will not be bored at home.
