Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of pet interactive equipment, in particular to a visual crawler robot. Background Art

[0002] With the accelerating process of urbanization, pets play an increasingly important role in people's daily lives. In the process of daily interaction with pets, people often want to take pictures of their pets in motion or cute moments. However, it is very difficult to capture the cuteness of pets, and there are high requirements for photography techniques and angles. Taking cats and dogs as examples, they are generally photographed when they are still or sleeping. When they are playing, because they are constantly moving and their attention is not on the behavior of taking pictures, most of the pictures taken are unsatisfactory. In addition, for some "timid" small animals, the act of holding a large camera to take pictures of them will make them feel scared, so it is not easy to take satisfactory pictures.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a device that can take photos of the pet at a suitable angle and can effectively follow the photos when the pet is being amused. Utility Model Content

[0027] like Figure 1-5As shown, the present application provides a visual crawler robot, which includes a body 10 and a motion device 20.

[0028] The vehicle body 10 includes a housing 11 , a teasing component 12 , a distance sensing component 13 and a shooting component 14 ; wherein a power supply 101 and a circuit board 102 are mounted on the housing 11 .

[0029] The housing 11 includes a bottom plate 111 , an upper shell 112 , a front panel 113 and a rear panel 114 , and the upper shell 112 is connected to the bottom plate.

[0030] The teasing component 12, the distance sensing component 13 and the shooting component 14 are all arranged on the front panel 113 of the shell 11. The teasing component 12 is used to project a light spot or pattern in front of the front face to attract the attention of the pet; the shooting component is used to shoot the pet in front of the front panel, and the distance sensing component is used to sense the distance between the vehicle body and the object in front.

[0031] Specifically, the teasing component 12, the distance sensing component 13 and the shooting component 14 are arranged in parallel on the front panel in sequence along the width direction, wherein the teasing component 12 is arranged on the left side of the front panel 113, and is used to project a light spot or pattern in front of the front panel 113 to attract the attention of pets. Pets in this application are not limited to commonly used pets such as cats, dogs, and piglets.

[0032] As an optional embodiment, the teasing component 12 includes a laser pen, and the laser pen is used to project a monochromatic light spot in front of the front panel 113, such as a red laser pen projects a red light spot.

[0033] As another optional embodiment, the teasing component 12 includes a spotlight and a pattern card. The light from the spotlight passes through the pattern card to project a predetermined pattern in front of the front panel. For example, when teasing a kitten, the pattern on the pattern card is a kitten, which can better attract the kitten's attention.

[0034] The shooting component 14 includes a camera with video and storage functions, but due to the structural limitations of the entire device, the device can also be used as an extension of more professional shooting equipment; the upper end surface of the upper shell 112 is recessed downward to form a receiving groove 11a for placing a professional pet camera.

[0035] In order to ensure the fixation of the pet camera, the side wall of the accommodating groove 11a is provided with an elastically retractable clamping member 103.

[0036] A connection socket 104 is provided on the rear panel 114, and the connection socket 104 is electrically connected to the pet camera placed in the receiving groove 11a through the data cable 106, and is used to transmit photos or videos taken by the shooting component. In order to ensure a stable connection, a card slot for fixing the data cable 106 is provided at the edge of the receiving groove 11a.

[0037] The distance sensing component 13 is arranged in the middle of the front panel 113, and includes a first sensor 131 and a second sensor 132 distributed in sequence along the up and down directions. The sensing direction of the first sensor 131 is tilted upward at a predetermined angle, and is used to detect pets or obstacles with a certain height in front. The sensing direction of the second sensor 132 is toward the front, and is used to accurately sense the distance to the object in front. Among them, the predetermined angle of inclination is generally between 30° and 60°, and preferably 45°.

[0038] The motion device 20 includes an engine 21, a wheel set 22 and a track 23. The engine 21 is installed at the lower end of the vehicle body 10, the wheel set 22 is connected to the engine 21, and the track 23 is installed on the wheel set 22; the teasing component 12, the distance sensing component 13, the shooting component 14 and the engine 21 are all electrically connected to the circuit board 102.

[0039] Different shooting modes are preset inside the shooting component 14 according to the different distances sensed by the distance sensing component 13. For example, when the pet is close to the robot, it is adjusted to the macro mode to capture the cute expression of the pet as much as possible. When the pet is far away from the robot, it is adjusted to the panoramic mode or the long-range mode to capture the overall movement of the pet and show the tension of the photo or video.

[0040] In order to ensure the installation stability of the power supply 101, the power supply 101 is fixed to the vehicle body 10 with a power supply bracket. Specifically, the lower end surface of the base plate 111 is extended to form a limit plate with a certain structural strength, and the lower end surface of the base plate 111 is connected to a support plate. The support plate and the limit plate form an installation groove that matches the shape of the power supply 101. The power supply 101 is limited and fixed inside the installation groove. Preferably, a charging terminal 105 is provided at the rear end of the vehicle body 10, and the power supply 101 is a rechargeable power supply. The charging terminal 105 is electrically connected to the rechargeable power supply 101. The robot can be automatically adapted to charging by designing a corresponding charging pile, thereby simplifying the charging process.

[0041] The pet photographing device provided by the present application projects a light spot or pattern in front of the front panel through a teasing component to attract the pet's attention. When the pet plays with the light spot or pattern, the shooting component parallel to the teasing component can take photos or videos of the pet. In this way, the pet can be recorded in real time from a perspective close to the pet. The shooting component is carried by a motion device to follow the pet and photograph the pet from a perspective closer to the pet, making the photo immersive and restoring the cuteness of the pet as much as possible.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
