Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pet supplies and vehicle accessories technology, and in particular to an in-vehicle pet compartment system and a corresponding vehicle that is integrated into the vehicle's luggage compartment and has functions such as automatic cleaning, environmental control, status monitoring, folding and storage, and inter-module communication and switching. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing number of pet-owning families, traveling with pets by car is becoming more and more common. Existing in-car pet supplies have significant shortcomings: traditional pet cages have fixed spaces, permanently occupying luggage compartment space; the pet space has limited functions and cannot effectively address pets' needs for toileting, drinking, cooling, and drying during the journey; hygiene and cleaning are cumbersome, especially in handling pet waste while driving. Although some existing technologies attempt to integrate these functions, a comprehensive solution that integrates automatic cleaning, environmental control, and space management is generally lacking.

[0003] Furthermore, even in existing technologies that incorporate partitioned pet spaces (such as separating activity areas from toilet areas), the passageways between these partitions must still occupy additional luggage compartment space. Otherwise, when the luggage compartment is full of luggage, the passageway from the activity area to the toilet area will be completely blocked, failing to resolve the contradiction of pets needing to move freely between different functional areas when the luggage compartment is full, thus preventing pets from independently meeting their basic physiological needs. This is particularly prominent during long-distance road trips.

[0004] It is evident that existing technologies urgently require a more comprehensive and rationally designed in-vehicle pet cabin system. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vehicle-mounted pet housing system and a vehicle having the vehicle-mounted pet housing system, so as to at least partially solve various technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0006] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a vehicle-mounted pet housing system is provided, comprising: The activity cabin module is located in the vehicle's luggage compartment and defines a space for pets to move around. The activity cabin module also integrates an environmental control device. A toilet compartment module, wherein the toilet compartment module is located within the luggage compartment and defines a space for pets to use the toilet, and the toilet compartment module integrates an environmental cleaning device; and A connecting passage, located in the lower cavity below the luggage compartment floor, connects the pet activity space and the pet toilet space.

[0007] In one exemplary embodiment, the lower cavity is provided with an openable and closable partition, and: When the partition is closed, the lower cavity is separated, thus defining the connecting channel; When the partition is opened, the lower cavity is a single, integrated space.

[0008] In one exemplary embodiment, the partition is configured to be switchable between a closed state and an open state manually or electrically, and: The partition is a flip-up partition, with one side hinged to the lower surface of the luggage compartment floor, and has an open position that flips upward to fit against the lower surface and a closed position that flips downward to separate the lower cavity; or The partition is a pull-out partition and is configured to be inserted into and removed from the lower cavity from the outside of the lower cavity.

[0009] In one exemplary embodiment, the inner wall surface of the connecting channel is made of a non-slip, waterproof, and easy-to-clean material.

[0010] In one exemplary embodiment, a low-power LED guiding lighting device and a ventilation fan are provided within the connecting channel.

[0011] In one exemplary embodiment, the two ends of the communication channel are connected to the corresponding modules via flexible sealed interfaces.

[0012] In one exemplary embodiment, flexible curtains are provided at both ends of the connecting channel entrance.

[0013] In one exemplary embodiment, a pet presence sensor for detecting the presence of a pet is provided within the communication channel.

[0014] In one exemplary embodiment, both the activity cabin module and the toilet cabin module have a foldable structure and can be in an unfolded working state and a folded storage state. The two ends of the connecting channel are respectively provided with a cover. When the corresponding module is in the unfolded working state, the cover can be opened to connect the entrance to the corresponding module. When the corresponding module is in the folded storage state, the cover can close the entrance.

[0015] In one exemplary embodiment, the toilet compartment module further includes a waste collection trough located below the pet toilet space, and The environmental cleaning device includes a cleaning actuator and a ventilation and deodorization unit. The cleaning actuator is configured to collect excrement in the pet toilet space into the waste collection trough, and the ventilation and deodorization unit is configured to ventilate the pet toilet space with the external environment to eliminate odors.

[0016] In one exemplary embodiment, the toilet compartment module further integrates at least one sensor configured to monitor whether the pet leaves the pet toilet space, and The environmental cleaning device is configured to begin performing environmental cleaning operations after a predetermined time interval has elapsed since the pet left the pet toilet space.

[0017] In one exemplary embodiment, the activity cabin module further includes a hair collection chamber located below the pet activity space, the hair collection chamber being provided with a removable hair collection bag, and The environmental control device includes: A panoramic camera is embedded in the ceiling of the pet activity space; Automatic feeder; An overflow-proof water dispenser, configured to seal and store water while the vehicle is in motion, and release water for pets to drink when the vehicle is stationary; and The ventilation and heating unit integrates a PTC heating element to output warm airflow for drying the pet in its living space. The airflow output by the ventilation and heating unit is discharged to the outside through the hair collection chamber.

[0018] In one exemplary embodiment, the vehicle-mounted pet compartment system further includes a control unit configured to control the relevant operations of the activity compartment module, the toilet compartment module, and the communication passage based on user operations and / or vehicle driving status and / or pet activity status.

[0019] According to a second aspect of the invention, a vehicle is provided that includes the in-vehicle pet compartment system described in the first aspect of the invention.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the present invention, based on the above aspects, are that by setting up independent activity compartment modules and toilet compartment modules, the pet's activity area and toilet area can be physically isolated. On the one hand, this avoids odor from the toilet area contaminating the activity area; on the other hand, through their respective integrated environmental control and cleaning devices, the two areas can independently maintain their required environmental conditions—the activity area prioritizes comfort, and the toilet area prioritizes hygiene. In particular, the design of the sunken connecting passage located in the lower cavity below the luggage compartment floor eliminates the fundamental contradiction between luggage carrying and the pet's independent activity and toileting. Because the connecting passage is located below the luggage compartment floor, the connecting passage and the luggage compartment space above the floor are spatially decoupled in the vertical dimension, and most or even all of the space above the floor can still be freely used to carry luggage. In this way, even if the luggage compartment is completely filled, the pet can still freely move between the two modules via the dedicated passage below the floor, thus solving the pain point that pets cannot independently use the toilet when the vehicle is full of luggage.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the technical problems to be solved, the technical solutions, and the beneficial technical effects of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and several exemplary embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this invention.

[0023] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a vehicle-mounted pet cabin system 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 1 As shown, an in-vehicle pet compartment system 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a movement compartment module 1, a toilet compartment module 2, a connecting passage 3, and a control unit 4. The movement compartment module 1 and the toilet compartment module 2 are spaced apart from each other and connected to each other through the connecting passage 3 at the bottom. Thus, the space between the movement compartment module 1 and the toilet compartment module 2 can still be used to store luggage or other items, while the pet can move between the two modules via the connecting passage 3 at the bottom.

[0024] Figure 2 A schematic diagram illustrating the structure of the active compartment module 1 of an in-vehicle pet compartment system 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 2As shown, the activity compartment module 1 has a foldable shell 10, which is disposed within the luggage compartment. The activity compartment module 1 defines a pet activity space 101 and a hair collection chamber 102 below the pet activity space 101 through the unfolded foldable shell 10. The pet mainly moves within the upper pet activity space 101. The foldable shell 10 includes, for example, an arched top cover and multiple flexible sidewalls, which are connected by a hinged folding mechanism to achieve unfolding and folding. Of course, the specific shape of the foldable shell 10 can vary according to actual needs or different vehicle models.

[0025] The activity cabin module 1 integrates an environmental control device. The environmental control device includes at least a panoramic camera 11, an automatic feeder 12, an anti-overflow water dispenser 13, and a ventilation and heating unit 14.

[0026] The panoramic camera 11 is a 360° panoramic camera embedded in the top of the pet activity space 101. The panoramic camera 11 is connected to the vehicle system, allowing users to observe the pet in the pet activity space 101 in real time through the vehicle screen.

[0027] The automatic feeder 12 is configured to feed the pet at set times.

[0028] The overflow-proof water dispenser 13 is configured to seal and store water while the vehicle is in motion, and to release water for the pet to drink when the vehicle is stationary. The overflow-proof water dispenser 13 includes, for example, a sealed water tank, a water bowl, a water pump, and a solenoid valve. When the vehicle is in motion, the water pump draws water from the water bowl back into the sealed water tank, and the solenoid valve closes to prevent water from splashing out of the water bowl due to vehicle movement. When the vehicle is stationary, the solenoid valve opens, and the water pump fills the water bowl with water from the sealed water tank for the pet to drink.

[0029] The ventilation and heating unit 14, for example, integrates a PTC heating element and is able to output warm airflow to dry the pet in the pet activity space 101.

[0030] Specifically, the pet activity space 101 and the hair collection chamber 102 are connected by a connecting hole. The hair collection chamber 102 has an air outlet on the side away from the connecting hole, which connects to the external environment. Thus, the pet activity space 101 is connected to the external environment via the hair collection chamber 102. In this way, the airflow output by the ventilation and heating unit 14 in the pet activity space 101 is discharged to the outside through the hair collection chamber 102, thereby bringing the hair in the pet activity space 101 into the hair collection chamber 102. A removable hair collection bag 103 is provided inside the hair collection chamber 102. The hair in the airflow is intercepted by the hair collection bag 103 and collected in the hair collection bag 103 for centralized processing.

[0031] In addition, the environmental control device may include an electrically or manually opening interactive window 15 to facilitate interaction between the user and the pet. The environmental control device may also include a lighting device 16 for illuminating the pet activity space 101.

[0032] When the in-vehicle pet compartment system 100 is not needed, the foldable shell 10 can be folded at least partially for storage, and the various environmental control devices mentioned above can be centrally stored in the folded shell 10 to save luggage compartment space.

[0033] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the toilet compartment module 2 of an in-vehicle pet compartment system 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 3 As shown, the toilet compartment module 2 has a foldable shell 20 similar to the foldable shell 10, which is disposed within the luggage compartment. The toilet compartment module 2 defines a pet toilet space 201 and a waste collection trough 202 below the pet toilet space 201 through the unfolded foldable shell 20. The pet toilet space 201 is filled with excrement bedding, such as cat litter. The pet defecates in the upper pet toilet space 201, and the excrement clumps with or is wrapped by the excrement bedding, and is then collected in the lower waste collection trough 202.

[0034] Specifically, the toilet compartment module 2, especially the pet toilet space 201, integrates an environmental cleaning device, which includes a cleaning actuator 21 and a ventilation and deodorization unit 22.

[0035] In one example, cleaning actuator 21 includes at least one set of ( Figure 3The diagram schematically shows two sets of motors 211, worm gear 212, filter screen 213, and guide 214 operating in opposite directions. The worm gear 212 is mounted within the pet toilet space 201 and configured to rotate under the drive of the motor 211. One end of the filter screen 213 is threadedly coupled to the worm gear 212, allowing it to move along the worm gear 212 within the pet toilet space 201 as the worm gear 212 rotates. The guide 214 is located at the bottom of the filter screen 213 and can move close to or in contact with the bottom surface of the pet toilet space 201 as the filter screen 213 moves. In standby mode, the filter screen 213 remains at one end of the worm gear 212. After the pet defecates, the motor 211 drives the worm gear 212 to rotate, causing the filter screen 213 to move along the worm gear 212. Small pieces of excrement can pass through the filter screen 213 and remain in the pet toilet space 201. Larger, clumped, or encased excrement particles cannot pass through the filter screen 213 and are pushed to the end of the pet toilet space 201, where they enter the collection trough 202 through its opening. Thus, the cleaning actuator 21 collects the excrement from the pet toilet space 201 into the collection trough 202. The bottom of the collection trough 202 may be concave and basin-shaped to facilitate the collection of excrement. A removable collection box may be installed inside the collection trough 202 for easy cleaning by the user.

[0036] The ventilation and deodorization unit 22 is configured to ventilate the pet toilet space 201 with the external environment to eliminate odors. Specifically, the ventilation and deodorization unit 22 can be connected to the vehicle's air conditioning system and activated during or after the cleaning process of the cleaning actuator 21 to quickly eliminate odors. Alternatively, the ventilation and deodorization unit 22 can utilize the negative pressure outside the vehicle created by vehicle movement to draw air from the pet toilet space 201 to the outside, thereby achieving odor discharge.

[0037] The toilet compartment module 2 may also integrate at least one sensor 23, such as a weight sensor or an infrared activity sensor, to monitor whether the pet has left the pet toilet space 201. Furthermore, the cleaning actuator 21 and the ventilation and deodorization unit 22 can be configured to begin performing corresponding environmental cleaning operations after a predetermined time interval has elapsed since the pet left the pet toilet space 201.

[0038] The aforementioned activity cabin module 1 and toilet cabin module 2 are connected to each other via a connecting channel 3. Figure 4 The diagram schematically illustrates the relationship between the in-vehicle pet compartment system 100 and the lower cavity 30 located beneath the luggage compartment floor 32. (As shown...) Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the connecting passage 3 is located in the lower cavity 30 below the luggage compartment floor 32. This lower cavity 30 is the traditional spare tire compartment / storage compartment location, and its height is usually higher than 25cm, thus basically meeting the requirements for free passage of small and medium-sized pets (cats, small dogs). With the help of this sunken connecting passage 3, the activity compartment module 1 and the toilet compartment module 2 can be connected at the bottom of the luggage compartment floor 32, thereby allowing pets to move freely between the two spaces without occupying the storage space above the floor 32.

[0039] Whether along the front-to-back direction or the width direction of the vehicle, the dimensions of the lower cavity 30 are significantly larger than the width required for the connecting passage 3 (e.g., 30cm), generally two to three times the required width. Therefore, an openable partition 31 can be installed within the lower cavity 30 to create a connecting passage 3 of the required width within the lower cavity 30. This ensures that pets can safely pass through the appropriately wide connecting passage 3, preventing them from hiding or lingering in the extra space below the floor 32. Furthermore, the partitioned space can still be used for storage, minimizing the sacrifice of the vehicle's storage space. Specifically, when the partition 31 is closed, the lower cavity 30 is divided, defining the connecting passage 3 and a small storage space, such as... Figure 4 As shown; when the partition 31 is opened, the lower cavity 30 returns to a single integrated space. Of course, even when the vehicle pet cabin system 100 is not used, i.e., when the activity cabin module 1 and toilet cabin module 2 are folded and stored, the partition 31 can be closed. This allows the lower cavity 30 to be divided into sections for the stable storage of small items, minimizing collision damage caused by vehicle bumps. On the other hand, the partition 31 can also provide additional support for the base plate 32, which is particularly advantageous when placing heavy objects on top of the base plate 32.

[0040] The partition 31 is configured to be able to switch between a closed state and an open state manually or electrically.

[0041] Figure 5 An exemplary installation method of the partition 31 is schematically shown. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the partition 31 can be a flip-up partition, hinged on one side to the lower surface of the luggage compartment floor 32, and capable of swinging in the direction indicated by the double arrows, thus having an open position where it flips upward to fit against the lower surface (as shown by the dotted line in the figure) and a closed position where it flips downward to separate the lower cavity 30 (as shown by the solid line in the figure). In an alternative example, the partition 31 can also be a pull-out partition, configured to be inserted into and removed from the lower cavity 30 from the outside. Both the flipping and pulling can be configured to be performed manually or electrically.

[0042] In addition, the inner wall surface of the connecting passage 3 is made of non-slip, waterproof, and easy-to-clean materials, such as TPE soft rubber pads or silicone pads. Low-power LED guiding lighting and a ventilation fan can also be installed inside the connecting passage 3 to help pets identify their environment and direction, and to maintain air circulation within the passage. The two end entrances of the connecting passage 3 are connected to the corresponding modules 1 and 2 via flexible sealing interfaces to ensure that the entrances of the connecting passage 3 can be adapted accordingly when the corresponding modules 1 and 2 are unfolded / folded. Flexible curtains, such as common pet door curtains, can be installed at the two end entrances of the connecting passage 3 to prevent odors from spreading between modules without obstructing pet passage. Furthermore, a pet presence sensor, such as an infrared beam sensor, can be installed inside the connecting passage 3 to detect the presence of pets, allowing users to monitor whether a pet is passing through or staying within the connecting passage 3.

[0043] Additionally, each end of the connecting channel 3 can be equipped with a cover. These covers are mounted on the base plate 32 and form part of it. They can be configured to be linked to the folding and unfolding of the corresponding module: when the corresponding module is in the unfolded working state, the cover can open, allowing the entrance to connect with the module; when the corresponding module is in the folded storage state, the cover can close the entrance. Of course, the opening and closing of the cover can also be performed manually.

[0044] The control unit 4 is configured to control the relevant operations of the aforementioned components based on user operations and / or vehicle driving status and / or pet activity status. That is, the control unit 4 can be configured to receive user operation information (e.g., from the vehicle control panel / mobile APP), vehicle status information (e.g., CAN bus signals), and information from various sensors of the vehicle pet enclosure system 100, and accordingly control the execution of all functions of the activity compartment module 1, the toilet compartment module 2, and the communication channel 3.

[0045] For example, the control unit 4 collects the detection signals from the weight sensor inside the toilet compartment module 2 in real time to monitor the pet's toileting activity. When the pet enters the toilet compartment module 2, finishes defecating, and leaves, the weight sensor detects a significant change in the weight signal in the detection area and transmits the signal to the control unit 4. The control unit 4 automatically starts a delay timer program after recognizing that the pet has left the toilet area. After the delay timer ends, the control unit 4 starts the cleaning actuator 21. During or after the cleaning action, the control unit 4 controls the ventilation and deodorization unit 22 to operate for a preset duration to ventilate the pet toilet space 201, remove odors, and ensure fresh air in the space. The entire cleaning process is fully automated and requires no manual intervention; users only need to periodically remove the waste collection box for cleaning.

[0046] The control unit 4 can also intelligently switch between feeding, watering, drying, monitoring, and power supply functions of the activity cabin module 1 based on vehicle driving status signals. During vehicle operation, the control unit 4 controls the water pump of the anti-overflow water dispenser 13 to perform a water return action, and then controls the solenoid valve to close, drawing water from the water bowl back to the sealed storage tank to keep the water bowl dry and prevent overflow. Simultaneously, it continuously receives monitoring images from the panoramic camera, allowing users to observe the pet's status in the pet activity space 101 in real time via the in-vehicle screen. When the vehicle is stationary and resting, the control unit 4 releases the water-locking state of the anti-overflow water dispenser 13, controls the solenoid valve to open the water path, and the water pump to operate in the forward direction, automatically filling the water bowl to meet the pet's drinking needs. It can also respond to user commands to open an interactive window, enabling human-vehicle interaction.

[0047] When a pet gets wet and needs drying, the user can trigger the drying mode via the vehicle control panel or app. The control unit 4 immediately activates the ventilation and heating unit 14, which uses a PTC heater to produce gentle warm air to dry the pet and the cabin space. Simultaneously, it collects fur into the fur collection chamber 102, keeping the pet's living space 101 clean and dry. After the vehicle is turned off and the user leaves, the control unit 4 automatically switches the power supply circuit, using an independent battery to continuously power the cabin lighting system and panoramic monitoring system, ensuring uninterrupted monitoring and basic lighting functions even when the user is away from the vehicle.

[0048] During the travel preparation phase, the control unit 4 can respond to the electronic control operation signal from the vehicle control panel or the status signal triggered by the manual lever to control the partition 31 of the connecting channel 3 to close, completing the system pet mode switch and putting the entire vehicle pet cabin system 100 into standby working state. At this time, luggage can be placed normally on the luggage compartment floor 32 without interference. During the journey, the pet can rest freely in the activity cabin module 1. When the pet needs to use the toilet, it can independently enter the sunken connecting channel 3 through the bottom entrance of the activity cabin module 1, and walk along the channel to the bottom exit of the toilet cabin module 2 to enter the pet toilet space 201.

[0049] The control unit 4 can also monitor the pet's passage status in real time through the pet presence sensor in the connecting channel 3. When a pet is detected entering the connecting channel 3, the channel LED lighting is automatically triggered and the channel ventilation fan is started to ensure sufficient light and air circulation in the channel. After the pet finishes using the toilet, it can return to the activity cabin module 1 along the connecting channel 3. The entire passage, lighting and ventilation actions are automatically completed by the control unit 4 without the need for the owner's intervention, and it does not affect the placement of luggage in the luggage compartment or the normal driving and use of the vehicle.

[0050] like Figure 6 As shown, the present invention also provides a vehicle including an in-vehicle pet cabin system 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

[0051] Although specific embodiments of the invention have been described in detail herein, they are given for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. Various substitutions, alterations, and modifications can be conceived without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
