Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent pets, specifically a highly biomimetic intelligent pet. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing number of people living alone and the growing demand for emotional companionship, highly bionic intelligent pets are seeing continued market demand as an alternative to traditional pets and a vehicle for emotional support. While current bionic pets on the market possess basic movement and vocalization capabilities, the core skeletons of traditional bionic pets are often formed by hand-assembly or mold casting. This not only results in large dimensional errors and low assembly precision but also faces the challenges of cumbersome manufacturing processes and high technical barriers, leading to poor product consistency and difficulty in achieving mass production.
[0003] In terms of intelligent interaction, the sound function of existing products mostly uses general electronic sound effects, which lack the ability to replicate sound and are difficult to evoke emotional resonance in users, resulting in insufficient personalization and exclusivity. In addition, the touch interaction feedback is relatively simple, only able to achieve basic trigger response, and is difficult to simulate the response mode of a real pet, resulting in insufficient emotional connection.
[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a highly biomimetic intelligent pet to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a highly biomimetic intelligent pet. Multiple drive components integrated within the connecting and supporting legs form a highly efficient collaborative transmission system, enhancing movement flexibility and biomimicry. The drive motor within the connecting leg drives the internal and external gears through gear meshing. The main shaft, as the core transmission component, synchronously links the side plate, movable block, and upper connecting rod. Combined with the secure fixing of side fixing bolts one, two, and three, power transmission is achieved. The rotational connection between the side plate and the lower supporting rod, and the coordinated movement of the upper connecting rod and the movable block, along with the stable support provided by the lower supporting rod within the supporting leg, ensure stable support. The modular assembly of each component and their tight fit guarantee smooth and accurate movements while improving structural stability. This allows the pet's movement and posture adjustments to better resemble the movement patterns of real animals. It also solves the problems of existing products that often use generic electronic sound effects, lacking the ability to replicate sound, failing to evoke emotional resonance in users, and lacking personalization and exclusivity. Furthermore, the touch interaction feedback is relatively simple, only achieving basic trigger responses, failing to simulate the response patterns of real pets, and resulting in insufficient emotional connection.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A highly biomimetic intelligent pet includes a biomimetic torso, a biomimetic head at the upper front of the torso, connecting legs on both sides of the front and rear ends of the torso, supporting legs at the lower part of each connecting leg, biomimetic eyeballs on both sides of the upper part of the head, LED beads on the inner walls of both sides of the upper part of the head, pressure blocks at the lower ends of each supporting leg, and flexible corrugated sound guide tubes inside the head and the front end of the torso. A speaker is provided at the lower end. A protective plate is provided in the middle of the lower end of the bionic torso. Battery blocks are provided at the upper end of the protective plate and inside the bionic torso. A clamping plate is provided at the front end of the lower part of the bionic torso. A vibration motor is provided inside the clamping plate. Each connecting leg is provided with two side plates, a fixing frame, an internal gear, a drive motor, an auxiliary side wheel, an upper connecting rod, two side fixing bolts one, an external gear, a main shaft, two side fixing bolts two, a movable block, and a side fixing bolt three. Each supporting leg is provided with a lower support rod. The above technical solution achieves the integrated integration of biomimetic structure and functional components. The layout of each core component is reasonable and does not interfere with each other. It provides a stable structural foundation for the pet's motion simulation, status feedback and interactive experience, and the hidden design ensures the integrity of the appearance and the biomimetic texture.
[0007] Furthermore, connecting ears are provided on both sides of the bionic head, and a bionic tail is provided at the rear end of the bionic torso. The ends of the connecting ears near the bionic torso are rotatably connected to both sides of the bionic head, and the front end of the bionic tail is rotatably connected to the rear end of the bionic torso. Flexible pressure sensors are provided inside the pressure blocks. The outer wall of the clamping plate is engaged with the lower part of the front end of the inner wall of the bionic torso, and the inner wall of the clamping plate is fixedly engaged with the outer wall of the vibration motor. Through the above technical solutions, the rotating connection structure allows the bionic head, connecting ears, and bionic tail to move at multiple angles, breaking through the limitation of the single movement of traditional bionic pets and more closely matching the daily posture of real animals; the flexible pressure sensor of the pressure block realizes the touch sensing function, and the snap-fit fixing method takes into account the installation stability of the vibration motor and the convenience of subsequent maintenance, providing reliable support for multi-dimensional interaction.
[0008] Furthermore, the outer wall of the LED bead is fixed to the corresponding position of the inner wall on both sides of the upper part of the bionic head. The bionic eyeball is a light-transmitting bionic structure located on both sides of the upper part of the bionic head, used to protect the LED bead and simulate the shape of a real eyeball, and fixed to the corresponding position of the inner wall of the bionic head. The LED bead is controlled by an independent controller, which only realizes the brightness gradient function of "from dark to bright", accurately simulating the "sleepy" state. The controller can be integrated into the pet's external operation button or matching remote control. After being triggered, the LED bead gradually increases from a dim state to a stable constant light. The light passes through the bionic eyeball to present a natural transition effect, restoring the process of a real creature slowly opening its eyes and gradually clearing its gaze when it wakes up. Through the above technical solution, the translucent bionic eyeball has both protective and biomimetic functions. It not only stably protects the LED beads, but also accurately simulates the shape of a real eyeball. With the LED beads controlled by an independent controller, the brightness gradually changes from dark to bright, which can achieve a natural transition of the eyes from dim to clear. It accurately reproduces the "sleepy eyes" state of a real animal when it wakes up. It effectively solves the problem that traditional ordinary protective components or simple shells with fixed lights and multi-color switching cannot reproduce the changes in real eyes. In addition, the controller supports external operation keys or the matching remote control, which makes the operation intuitive and convenient, further enhancing the interactive immersion between users and pets.
[0009] Furthermore, the lower part of the bionic head is rotatably connected to the upper part of the front end of the inner wall of the bionic torso. The upper part of the flexible corrugated sound guide tube is located inside the bionic head, the lower part of the flexible corrugated sound guide tube is located inside the front end of the bionic torso, the middle part of the flexible corrugated sound guide tube is located at the connection between the bionic torso and the bionic head, the front end of the speaker is tightly fitted with the lower end of the flexible corrugated sound guide tube, the rear end of the speaker is fixed to the corresponding part inside the bionic torso, and the upper end of the flexible corrugated sound guide tube is positioned at the mouth of the bionic head. Through the above technical solutions, the rotating connection of the bionic head improves the flexibility of posture, the hidden layout of the flexible corrugated sound guide avoids the problem of exposed sound holes damaging the appearance, and the directional sound design of the mouth is more in line with the vocal logic of real animals. Combined with the tight fit of the speaker, it ensures the clear quality of the sound transmission, taking into account both bionics and user experience.
[0010] Furthermore, all four connecting legs are rotatably connected to the corresponding parts of the bionic torso; the outer walls of the four fixing frames are fixed to the upper ends of the inner walls of the four connecting legs; the upper ends of the two side plates are fixed to the outer walls of the main shaft on the side closest to the main shaft; the lower ends of the two side plates are rotatably connected to the two sides of the upper end of the lower support rod; the lower end of the upper connecting rod is rotatably connected to the middle part of the upper end of the lower support rod; and the upper end of the upper connecting rod is fixed to the lower end of the movable block by side fixing bolts. Through the above technical solution, the rotational connection between the leg and the torso provides the basis for leg movements. The multiple rotational connections of the side plate, upper connecting rod and lower support rod form a coordinated transmission structure, which ensures the continuity of power transmission, making the lifting and bending movements of the support leg smoother and more natural, and improving the biomimetic effect when the pet walks and turns.
[0011] Furthermore, one side of each of the four main shafts is fixed to the inner wall of the four internal gears by two corresponding side fixing bolts 2, and the other side of each of the four main shafts is fixed to the inner wall of the four external gears by two corresponding side fixing bolts 1, and the four movable blocks are fixed to the corresponding main shafts by two corresponding side fixing bolts 2. Through the above technical solution, the multi-directional fixing method of side fixing bolts one and two ensures the firmness of the connection between the main shaft and the internal gear, external gear and moving block, avoids loosening or deviation during transmission, ensures the accuracy of power transmission, provides structural guarantee for the stable execution of leg movements, and solves the problem of insufficient smoothness in traditional bionic pets.
[0012] Furthermore, one side of each of the four fixed frames is fixed to the other side of the four drive motors. The output end of the drive motor is fixed with a gear that passes through the fixed frame and meshes with the outer wall of the corresponding four internal gears. The inner wall of the other side of the four fixed frames, near the drive motor, is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the corresponding four auxiliary side wheels. Through the above technical solutions, the meshing design of the drive motor and the internal gear achieves efficient power output. The fixed frame provides a stable mounting reference for the drive motor, while the auxiliary side wheel reduces the frictional resistance in the gear transmission process. This not only improves transmission efficiency but also reduces component wear, extends the service life of the structure, and ensures the long-term stable operation of the leg movements.
[0013] Furthermore, the exterior of each of the four lower support rods is fixed to the interior of the corresponding support leg, the lower end of each of the four connecting legs is hinged to the upper part of the four support legs, the middle part of the lower end of the bionic torso is engaged with the upper end of the protective plate, the exterior of the battery block is engaged with the middle part of the inner wall of the bionic torso, and the lower end of the protective plate is provided with an insertion port. Through the above technical solutions, the fixing of the lower support rod and the support leg enhances the load-bearing capacity of the leg structure, and the hinged connection makes the movement of the connecting leg and the support leg more flexible and coordinated; the snap-fit protective plate and battery block not only ensure the safety and stability of battery installation, but also facilitate subsequent charging and maintenance, taking into account both structural reliability and ease of use.
[0014] This invention provides a highly biomimetic intelligent pet. It has the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention provides a highly biomimetic intelligent pet. The highly biomimetic intelligent pet relies on the high-precision molding characteristics of 3D printing to make the exoskeleton structure perfectly match the size of the target organism, improve the assembly accuracy of each component, avoid the dimensional errors of traditional manual splicing or mold casting, and replace the traditional multi-part disassembly and manual assembly mode with 3D printing integrated molding, reducing the manufacturing difficulty and reducing the manual operation process and technical threshold. Furthermore, the standardized 3D printing process can be quickly replicated for production, breaking through the efficiency bottleneck of traditional processes, effectively improving the possibility of mass production, and meeting the needs of large-scale markets. 3D printing technology can flexibly realize the cavity structure design of exoskeletons, which not only reduces the overall weight, but also provides suitable installation space for functional components such as pressure blocks, vibration motors, and drive motors, ensuring the rationality of the structural layout. The cavities pre-reserved in the exoskeleton are used to precisely construct directional sound channels, providing a structural basis for the concealed assembly of flexible corrugated sound guide tubes, ensuring that sound is directionally transmitted to the mouth and achieving a natural sound production effect.
[0015] 2. This invention provides a highly biomimetic intelligent pet. The intelligent interactive design of this highly biomimetic intelligent pet focuses on the user's emotional needs, and realizes a more personalized and immersive interactive experience: by collecting the user's original pet's real sound and storing it in a preset, the user can restore the original pet's barking, breathing and other exclusive sounds through the synergistic effect of the speaker and flexible corrugated sound tube, awaken the user's emotional resonance, and is more exclusive and realistic than general electronic sound effects. Furthermore, by utilizing the flexible pressure sensor built into the pressure block at the lower end of the support leg, it can accurately detect changes in the pressure value touched by the user, distinguish the interaction intention (such as light touch, heavy press) by pressure intensity, and trigger corresponding emotional sound feedback (such as a gentle response sound for a light touch, and an excited interaction sound for a heavy press), realizing the linkage between pressure value and sound emotion, making the interaction more in line with the reaction logic of a real pet, and enhancing user participation and emotional connection.

[0022] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0023] like Figure 1-8 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a highly biomimetic intelligent pet, including a biomimetic torso 1, a biomimetic head 2 at the upper front end of the biomimetic torso 1, connecting legs 3 on both sides of the front and rear ends of the biomimetic torso 1, supporting legs 4 at the lower part of each connecting leg 3, biomimetic eyeballs 7 on both sides of the upper part of the biomimetic head 2, LED beads 71 on the inner walls of both sides of the upper part of the biomimetic head 2, pressure blocks 9 at the lower ends of each supporting leg 4, flexible corrugated sound guide tubes 21 inside the biomimetic head 2 and inside the front end of the biomimetic torso 1, a speaker 22 at the lower end of the flexible corrugated sound guide tube 21, a protective plate 10 in the middle of the lower end of the biomimetic torso 1, and battery blocks 11 at the upper end of the protective plate 10 and inside the biomimetic torso 1. The lower front end is equipped with a card plate 8, and the card plate 8 contains a vibration motor 81. The connecting legs 3 are equipped with two side plates 31, a fixing frame 32, an internal gear 34, a drive motor 35, an auxiliary side wheel 36, an upper connecting rod 37, two side fixing bolts 38, an external gear 39, a main shaft 310, two side fixing bolts 311, a movable block 312, and a side fixing bolt 313. The supporting legs 4 are equipped with a lower support rod 33. This achieves the integrated integration of bionic structure and functional components. The layout of each core component is reasonable and does not interfere with each other. It provides a stable structural foundation for the pet's motion simulation, status feedback, and interactive experience. The hidden design, such as the flexible corrugated sound guide tube 21 and the built-in battery block 11, ensures the integrity of the appearance and the bionic texture.
[0024] The bionic head 2 has connecting ears 5 on both sides, and the bionic torso 1 has a bionic tail 6 at the rear end. The ends of the connecting ears 5 near the bionic torso 1 are rotatably connected to the sides of the bionic head 2, and the front end of the bionic tail 6 is rotatably connected to the rear end of the bionic torso 1. The pressure blocks 9 are equipped with flexible pressure sensors. The outer wall of the clamping plate 8 is engaged with the lower part of the front end of the inner wall of the bionic torso 1, and the inner wall of the clamping plate 8 is fixedly engaged with the outer wall of the vibration motor 81. The rotating connection structure allows the bionic head 2, connecting ears 5, and bionic tail 6 to move at multiple angles, breaking through the limitation of the single movement of traditional bionic pets and more closely matching the daily posture of real animals. The flexible pressure sensors of the pressure blocks 9 realize the touch sensing function, and the clamping and fixing method takes into account the installation stability of the vibration motor 81 and the convenience of subsequent maintenance, providing reliable support for multi-dimensional interaction.
[0025] The outer wall of the LED bead 71 is fixed to the corresponding inner wall of the upper two sides of the bionic head 2. The bionic eyeball 7 is a light-transmitting bionic structure located on both sides of the upper part of the bionic head 2. It is used to protect the LED bead 71 and simulate the shape of a real eyeball, and is fixed to the corresponding inner wall of the bionic head 2. The LED bead 71 is controlled by an independent controller, which only realizes the function of gradually brightening from dark to light, accurately simulating the state of "sleepy eyes". The controller can be integrated into the pet's external operation button or the matching remote control. After being triggered, the LED bead 71 gradually increases from a dim state to a stable constant light. The light passes through the bionic eyeball 7 to present a natural transition effect, restoring the process of a real animal slowly opening its eyes and gradually clearing its eyes when waking up. The light-transmitting bionic eyeball 7 has both protective and bionic functions. It not only stably protects the LED bead, but also accurately simulates the shape of a real eyeball, and works in conjunction with the LED bead controlled by the independent controller to gradually brighten from dark to light. The brightness gradient design enables a natural transition of the eyes from dim to clear, accurately reproducing the "sleepy" state of a real animal when it wakes up. This effectively solves the problem that traditional ordinary protective parts or simple shells with fixed lights and multi-color switching cannot reproduce the real changes in eyes. In addition, the controller supports external operation buttons or the matching remote control, making operation intuitive and convenient, further enhancing the immersive interaction between users and their pets.
[0026] The lower part of the bionic head 2 is rotatably connected to the upper part of the front end of the inner wall of the bionic torso 1. The upper part of the flexible corrugated sound guide tube 21 is located inside the bionic head 2, the lower part of the flexible corrugated sound guide tube 21 is located inside the front end of the bionic torso 1, and the middle part of the flexible corrugated sound guide tube 21 is located at the connection between the bionic torso 1 and the bionic head 2. The front end of the speaker 22 is tightly fitted with the lower end of the flexible corrugated sound guide tube 21, and the rear end of the speaker 22 is fixed to the corresponding part inside the bionic torso 1. The upper end of the flexible corrugated sound guide tube 21 is set at the mouth position of the bionic head 2. The rotatable connection of the bionic head 2 improves the flexibility of posture. The hidden layout of the flexible corrugated sound guide tube 21 avoids the problem of exposed sound holes damaging the appearance. Moreover, the directional sound emission design of the mouth is more in line with the vocalization logic of real animals. With the tight fit of the speaker 22, the clear quality of sound transmission is guaranteed, taking into account both bionics and user experience.
[0027] All four connecting legs 3 are rotatably connected to the corresponding parts of the bionic torso 1. The outer walls of the four fixed frames 32 are fixed to the upper ends of the inner walls of the four connecting legs 3. The upper ends of the two side plates 31 are fixed to the outer walls of the main shaft 310 on the side closest to the main shaft 310. The lower ends of the two side plates 31 are rotatably connected to the two sides of the upper end of the lower support rod 33. The lower end of the upper connecting rod 37 is rotatably connected to the middle of the upper end of the lower support rod 33. The upper end of the upper connecting rod 37 is fixed to the lower end of the movable block 312 through the side fixing bolt 313. The rotatable connection between the connecting legs 3 and the torso provides the basis for the leg movements. The multiple sets of rotatable connections of the side plates 31, the upper connecting rod 37 and the lower support rod 33 form a coordinated transmission structure, ensuring the continuity of power transmission, making the lifting and bending movements of the support legs 4 smoother and more natural, and improving the bionic effect when the pet walks and turns.
[0028] One side of each of the four main shafts 310 is fixed to the inner wall of the four internal gears 34 via two corresponding side fixing bolts 311. The other side of each of the four main shafts 310 is fixed to the inner wall of the four external gears 39 via two corresponding side fixing bolts 38. The four movable blocks 312 are fixed to the corresponding main shafts 310 via two corresponding side fixing bolts 311. The multi-directional fixing method of the side fixing bolts 38 and 311 ensures the firmness of the connection between the main shafts 310 and the internal gears 34, external gears 39, and movable blocks 312, avoiding loosening or deviation during transmission, ensuring the accuracy of power transmission, providing structural guarantee for the stable execution of leg movements, and solving the problem of insufficient smoothness in traditional bionic pets.
[0029] One side of each of the four fixed brackets 32 is fixed to the other side of each of the four drive motors 35. The output end of each drive motor 35 is fixed with a gear that passes through the fixed bracket 32 and meshes with the outer wall of the corresponding four internal gears 34. The inner wall of the other side of each of the four fixed brackets 32, near the drive motor 35, is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the corresponding four auxiliary side wheels 36. The meshing design between the drive motor 35 and the internal gears 34 achieves efficient power output. The fixed brackets 32 provide a stable mounting reference for the drive motor 35, while the auxiliary side wheels 36 reduce the frictional resistance during gear transmission. This not only improves transmission efficiency but also reduces component wear, extends the service life of the structure, and ensures long-term stable operation of the leg movements.
[0030] The exterior of each of the four lower support rods 33 is fixed to the interior of the corresponding support leg 4. The lower ends of each of the four connecting legs 3 are hinged to the upper parts of the four support legs 4. The middle of the lower end of the bionic torso 1 is snapped into the upper end of the protective plate 10. The exterior of the battery block 11 is snapped into the middle of the inner wall of the bionic torso 1. The lower end of the protective plate 10 has an insertion port 101. The fixing of the lower support rods 33 to the support legs 4 enhances the load-bearing capacity of the leg structure. The hinged connection makes the movement of the connecting legs 3 and the support legs 4 more flexible and coordinated. The snap-fit protective plate 10 and the battery block 11 not only ensure the safety and stability of battery installation, but also facilitate subsequent charging and maintenance through the insertion port 101, taking into account both structural reliability and ease of use.
[0031] Working principle: The bionic torso 1 skeleton, connecting leg 3 skeleton, supporting leg 4 skeleton, and bionic head 2 skeleton of the smart pet are all replicated using 3D printing technology, replacing the traditional manual splicing or mold casting process; the 3D printed skeleton has reserved assembly interfaces for functional components (pressure block 9, vibration motor 81, servo motor) to ensure precise adaptation with existing components, which improves production efficiency and ensures assembly accuracy. The traditional circuit connection logic between the main board (control unit) inside the bionic torso 1 and modules such as drive motor 35, LED light bead 71, and speaker 22 can be used to flexibly deform synchronously with the internal bionic movements, solving the problem of the hard shell of traditional bionic pets hindering movement and stiff posture; The battery block 11 is connected to the main board inside the bionic body 1 via a snap-fit mechanism, providing power to the main board and all functional modules (drive motor 35, LED beads 71, speaker 22, etc.). The socket 101 at the lower end of the protective plate 10 can directly charge the battery block 11. Compared with the built-in non-removable battery of traditional bionic pets, it only optimizes the convenience of battery installation and charging, while the circuit power supply logic is the same as the traditional one. The main board outputs control signals to the drive motor 35 inside the connecting leg 3 (traditional bionic pets also use a circuit connection between the motor and the control unit). The gear at the output end of the drive motor 35 meshes with the internal gear 34 to drive the main shaft 310 to rotate. The main shaft 310 synchronously links the side plate 31 and the movable block 312, and pulls the lower support rod 33 through the upper connecting rod 37, ultimately driving the support leg 4 to complete actions such as walking and lifting the leg. At the same time, the main board controls the rotating parts of the bionic head 2, connecting ear 5, and bionic tail 6 (such as micro servos, with circuit connections consistent with the traditional ones) to achieve postures such as turning the head, wagging the tail, and moving the ears. Compared with the direct drive of a single motor in traditional bionic pets, only the coordination of the transmission structure has been upgraded to make the movements more natural, while the circuit control logic remains unchanged. After the pressure block 9 (with built-in flexible pressure sensor) at the lower end of the support leg 4 detects the touch signal, it transmits the electrical signal to the main board (the traditional sensor and control unit circuit connection logic of the bionic pet). According to the signal strength (light touch and heavy press), the main board outputs color and mode switching signals to the LED bead 71 (e.g., light touch corresponds to pink constant light, heavy press corresponds to red flashing), and at the same time outputs a start signal to the vibration motor 81 in the card plate 8. Compared with the single feedback of the traditional bionic pet, only multi-state linkage logic is added. The circuit connection is still the traditional structure of "sensor to control unit to actuator". The motherboard outputs an audio signal to the speaker 22 (the speaker 22 of a traditional bionic pet is connected to the control unit circuit). After the speaker 22 emits sound, the sound is directionally transmitted to the mouth of the bionic head 2 through the flexible corrugated sound guide tube 21. Compared with the exposed speaker 22 of a traditional bionic pet, only the sound guide structure has been optimized to achieve hidden sound emission. The circuit control logic is the same as the traditional one.
