Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cat scratching board technology, and in particular to an intelligent temperature-controlled cat scratching board and its control system. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, cat scratching posts are designed to help cats trim their nails and expend excessive energy. In hot weather, their high ventilation also provides a cool resting environment for some long-haired cat breeds. As a result, more and more cat scratching post products are gradually increasing in size and are being used as cat beds.

[0003] However, in existing products, cat scratching boards made of ordinary corrugated cardboard will become clogged with paper scraps and loose hair after long-term use. At the same time, the debris is difficult to clean up when scattered around. After it is completely damaged, the internal cardboard core needs to be completely replaced, which is quite wasteful of materials.

[0004] Ordinary cat scratching posts are not ideal for long-haired cats' daily rest. Their ventilation and heat dissipation efficiency is affected by the gaps and the surrounding environment. As a result, they are not well-suited to the needs of long-haired breeds. Often, they still need to be used with electric fans or air conditioners to increase the surrounding air circulation and cool down, which can easily lead to a waste of resources.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an intelligent temperature-controlled cat scratching board and its control system that can effectively handle paper scraps and lint, ensure its own cleanliness, and achieve efficient ventilation and heat dissipation, in order to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows:

[0007] A smart temperature-controlled cat scratching post includes a base and a ventilated base. The base has an inner cavity, and a ventilated cover is movably fitted inside the cavity. The upper end of the ventilated cover has a ventilated cat scratching plate. The inner sides of the ventilated cover and the ventilated cat scratching plate have multiple sets of holes for airflow and cooling. The ventilated base is located below the base, and its outer side is surrounded by multiple sets of ventilation slots. A fan is located at the center of the ventilated base, below the ventilated base and directly facing the ventilated cat scratching plate. A control module is located at the center of the ventilated base and is fixedly connected to the ventilated base through a housing. The control module contains a temperature sensor to identify the indoor temperature, and one end of the control module has a wire connected to the fan for sending operating commands.

[0008] As an improvement, the base is cylindrical in shape and has a buckle on its outer side. The buckles are evenly distributed around the base axis. The upper end of the base is provided with a shelter, which is covered with a ventilated cat scratching board. One end of the shelter has an opening, and the lower end has multiple rope loops that are detachably connected to the buckles.

[0009] As an improvement, a sound and light module is provided on one side of the base. One end of the sound and light module is connected to the control module with a line for receiving and playing audio files processed by the control module. The control module is equipped with a wireless communication module, which can send and receive start and stop commands to the administrator terminal via the Internet to realize remote control.

[0010] As an improvement, the ventilation cover is disc-shaped, with a protective plate on the outer side of its upper end to limit the installation height of the ventilation cat scratching plate. The protective plate has a rubber positioning block on the side near the ventilation cat scratching plate. Multiple rubber positioning blocks are arranged at equal intervals around the central axis of the ventilation cover to limit the lateral movement of the ventilation cat scratching plate and reduce the impact of fan vibration on the ventilation cat scratching plate.

[0011] As an improvement, the inner side of the ventilation cover has multiple sets of slots for ventilation and heat dissipation in conjunction with the fan. The edge of the ventilation cover near the base has multiple sets of slots for side ventilation in conjunction with the ventilation base. The inner side of the ventilation cat scratch plate has fine holes, which are oriented towards the fan.

[0012] As an improvement, the ventilated base has an annular cavity along its inner wall, the annular cavity being positioned close to the ventilation slot, and a cat toy ball being provided inside the annular cavity. The cat toy ball can move within the annular cavity and can be manipulated and played with through the ventilation slot.

[0013] As an improvement, the lower end of the ventilation base is provided with shock-absorbing pads, including at least three, which are evenly distributed around the central axis of the ventilation base. The lower end of the ventilation base has an opening, and a maintenance cover is detachably connected to the inside of the opening. The maintenance cover is located below the fan, and the inside of the maintenance cover has multiple sets of grille structures for ventilation and heat dissipation. The fans are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the control module.

[0014] As an improvement, a rotating base is fixed to the upper part of the housing of the control module. The rotating base contains a drive motor. The shaft of the drive motor is connected to a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft passes through the central through hole of the ventilation cover. A lint roller is fixed to one end of the rotating shaft. The axis of the lint roller is perpendicular to the rotating shaft. The surface of the lint roller has multiple sets of rubber protrusions and is set to fit the bottom of the ventilation cat scratching plate for adhering and collecting loose hair.

[0015] A smart temperature-controlled cat scratching board control system includes:

[0016] Temperature control module: It obtains the current ambient temperature through a temperature sensor, and sends start data to the control module and starts the fan when the temperature exceeds a preset threshold;

[0017] Signal transmission module: Transmits the operating data of the temperature sensing control module and equipment to the cloud or a designated terminal via the Internet;

[0018] Cloud-based data processing module: performs secondary analysis to identify the device's operating status, records the execution status data, obtains the device's operating logic at specific times and temperatures, and generates self-starting data for easy subsequent normal start-up and shutdown.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are: by setting the base and the shelter structure, the cat scratching board can be easily installed and fixed for use, while also providing a more comfortable place for pet cats to rest and play, reducing the scattering of loose hair and paper scraps, and making cleaning and maintenance easier;

[0020] By setting up a ventilated base and fan structure, a negative pressure zone can be formed under the cat scratching board, continuously drawing air to the bottom of the cat scratching board and accelerating the surrounding airflow to achieve active cooling and further improve the overall user experience;

[0021] By setting up a lint roller and a rotating seat structure, the loose hair accumulated in the gap at the bottom of the cat scratching board can be effectively collected and adhered, ensuring the ventilation and heat dissipation efficiency at the bottom, thereby achieving stable operation and use for a long time.

[0022] By setting up a control module, the device can operate autonomously based on indoor temperature, reducing energy consumption. It can also be connected to the Internet for remote control via an app and terminal, making the device easy to operate. Attached Figure Description

[0029] To make the content of this invention easier to understand, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Identical components are represented by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, while the terms "inner" and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an intelligent temperature-controlled cat scratching board holder includes a base 1 and a ventilated base 6. The base 1 has an inner cavity, and a ventilated cover 10 is movably fitted inside the cavity. The upper end of the ventilated cover 10 has a ventilated cat scratching board 3. The inner sides of the ventilated cover 10 and the ventilated cat scratching board 3 have multiple sets of holes for airflow and cooling. The ventilated base 6 is located below the base 1, and multiple sets of ventilation slots 7 are arranged around its outer side. A fan 13 is located at the center of the ventilated base 6, below the ventilated base 6 and directly facing the ventilated cat scratching board 3. A control module 16 is located at the center of the ventilated base 6 and is fixedly connected to the ventilated base 6 through a housing. The control module 16 has a temperature sensor inside for identifying the indoor temperature. One end of the control module 16 has a wire that is electrically connected to the fan 13 for sending operation commands. The base 1 and the ventilation base 6 are made of plastic and have multiple sets of ear plates on their inner side to improve the overall structural strength. The lower end of the ear plates has threaded holes for use with bolts to detachably connect the base 1 and the ventilation base 6.

[0031] The base 1 is cylindrical in shape, with latches 4 on its outer side. The latches 4 are evenly distributed around the axis of the base 1. A shelter 2 is located at the top of the base 1, covered with a ventilated cat scratching board 3. One end of the shelter 2 has an opening, and its lower end has multiple rope loops detachably connected to the latches 4. A sound and light module 5 is located on one side of the base 1. One end of the sound and light module 5 has a wire connecting to a control module 16, used to receive and play audio files processed by the control module 16. The control module 16 has an internal wireless communication module that can send and receive start / stop commands to an administrator terminal via the internet, enabling remote control. The shelter 2 is made of cotton and has an internal support frame. The lower end of the support frame rests on the upper edge of the base 1 to support the overall shape of the shelter 2, ensuring the opening is open for air intake.

[0032] When in use, place the base 1 in a cool, shaded location, connect the power cord to the interface at the lower end of the control module 16 to power the device, then assemble and secure the ventilated cat scratching plate 3 over the upper end of the ventilated cover 10, and fix the shelter 2 along the locking buckle 4 of the base 1. At this time, the operator can pair and connect with the control module 16 via the Internet or Bluetooth, and set the corresponding start-up temperature or manually turn it on.

[0033] The ventilation cover 10 is disc-shaped, with a protective plate on its upper outer side to limit the installation height of the ventilated cat scratching plate 3. The protective plate has rubber positioning blocks 12 on the side near the ventilated cat scratching plate 3. Multiple rubber positioning blocks 12 are evenly spaced around the central axis of the ventilation cover 10 to limit the lateral movement of the ventilated cat scratching plate 3 and reduce the impact of fan 13 vibration on the ventilated cat scratching plate 3. The inner side of the ventilation cover 10 has multiple sets of slots for ventilation and heat dissipation in conjunction with the fan 13. The edge of the ventilation cover 10 near the base 1 also has multiple sets of slots for side ventilation in conjunction with the ventilation base 6. The inner side of the ventilated cat scratching plate 3 has fine holes facing the fan 13. The upper end of the rubber positioning blocks 12 has strip-shaped protrusions, allowing the ventilated cat scratching plate 3 to be clamped and fixed, limiting overall movement and offset.

[0034] The ventilated base 6 has an annular cavity along its inner wall, which is located near the ventilation slot 7. A cat toy ball 11 is located inside the annular cavity, allowing it to move within the cavity and be manipulated via the ventilation slot 7. The ventilation slot 7 has rounded chamfered edges and an overall slot width greater than 3 cm, allowing a cat's paw to reach in and manipulate the cat toy ball 11.

[0035] When in use, fan 13 is controlled by control module 16 to draw cool outside air through the opening of the shelter 2 above the ventilated cat scratching plate 3, carrying away heat from the cat's surroundings. The hot air then moves towards the fan 13 through the ventilation cover 10 and is exhausted through the ventilation slot 7 and maintenance cover 9. During this process, the ventilation slot 7 works with the small holes on the side of the ventilation cover 10 to achieve airflow, enabling heat dissipation and exhaust even when fan 13 is not turned on.

[0036] The lower end of the ventilation base 6 is provided with shock-absorbing pads 8, including at least three, which are evenly distributed around the central axis of the ventilation base 6. The lower end of the ventilation base 6 has an opening, and a maintenance cover 9 is detachably connected to the inside of the opening. The maintenance cover 9 is located below the fan 13, and the inside of the maintenance cover 9 has multiple sets of grille structures for ventilation and heat dissipation. The fan 13 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the control module 16. A rotating seat 15 is fixed to the upper end of the housing of the control module 16. The rotating seat 15 contains a drive motor, and the shaft of the drive motor is connected to a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft passes through the central through hole of the ventilation cover 10. A lint roller 14 is fixed to one end of the rotating shaft. The axis of the lint roller 14 is perpendicular to the rotating shaft. The surface of the lint roller 14 has multiple sets of rubber protrusions and is set to fit the bottom of the ventilation cat scratching plate 3 for adhering and collecting loose hair. The overall thickness of the shock-absorbing pads 8 is greater than or equal to 1 mil, which is used to raise the overall height of the ventilation base 6 to facilitate the exhaust of the grille inside the maintenance cover 9.

[0037] During operation, the motor inside the rotating base 15 drives the lint roller 14 to rotate and move along the bottom of the ventilated cat scratching plate 3. The rubber protrusions at its upper end can extend into the gaps inside the ventilated cat scratching plate 3 to stick and unblock the adhering lint and paper scraps, ensuring stable operation of the equipment over a long period of time. When cleaning and maintenance are required, the operator can lift the ventilated cat scratching plate 3 and then use paper towels or towels to wipe off the dirt on the surface of the lint roller 14 to complete the cleaning and maintenance.

[0038] A smart temperature-controlled cat scratching board control system includes: a temperature-sensing control module: acquiring the current ambient temperature through a temperature sensor, sending start-up data to the control module 16 and starting the fan 13 when the temperature exceeds a preset threshold; a signal transmission module: transmitting the operating data of the temperature-sensing control module and the device to the cloud or a designated terminal via the Internet; and a cloud data processing module: performing secondary analysis to identify the device's operating status, recording the execution status data, acquiring the device's operating logic at specific times and temperatures, and generating self-starting data for subsequent normal start-up and shutdown.

[0039] When in use, the operator's app or terminal will obtain the device's operating status in real time. During operation, the sound and light module 5 will emit sound and light to remind pets or nearby people that the device has been activated. Light strips can also be installed inside the ventilated base 6 to further enhance the overall visual effect.

[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
