[0025] The following will further elaborate on the specific structure of the present application in conjunction with Figures 1 to 3 to further elaborate on the specific structure of the present application.

[0026] The pet urinator with identity recognition function of the present application includes a main body 1, the main body has a urination area 11 and an excrement treatment area located on one side of the urination area, the main body includes a modular bottom basin component 13, a surrounding edge component 14 and a main body component 15, and any two of the bottom basin component, the surrounding edge component and the main body component that are connected to each other can be detachably connected. The bottom basin component is provided with the urination area and the excrement treatment area, the surrounding edge component is provided with a dirt shoveling module 2 and a cleaning mechanism that can move forward and backward, the main body component is arranged above the excrement treatment area, the main body component is provided with a control circuit board that controls the operation of the dirt shoveling module, the dirt shoveling module is arranged corresponding to the urination area, and can move forward and backward to push the excrement of the urination area to the excrement treatment area and reset. Among them, a movable frame 21 that can move forward and backward is provided on the surrounding edge component, and the dirt shoveling module and the cleaning mechanism are arranged on the movable frame.

[0027] The chassis component is provided with a urine filter 3 at the urine and feces area, and the top surface of the urine filter is concave to form the urine and feces area. The chassis component is provided with a urine collection tank (not shown in the figure) below the urine filter; in order to monitor the pet's body data through the pet's urine, the host component is also provided with a pet urine detection device and a pet urine metering device (not shown in the figure), and the urine collection tank is connected to the pet urine detection device and the pet urine metering device through a urine transport component.

[0028] The host component of the main body is provided with a reader 4 for reading the RFID electronic tag information installed on the pet and an antenna 5 for transmitting radio frequency signals between the RFID electronic tag and the reader, and the antenna and the reader are connected by electrical signals or communication signals.

[0029] Preferably, the antenna is arranged at the edge of the urine infiltration filter, so that the antenna is arranged around the urine and feces area. Preferably, the antenna is embedded in the urine infiltration filter by injection molding or glue pouring process. It is further preferred that the antenna includes a plurality of induction coils arranged around the urine and feces area. Compared with being arranged at other positions, the antenna arranged on the urine infiltration filter will greatly improve the accuracy and reliability of card reading. The drain basket is where cats defecate, so only when cats enter the drain basket will the information be read, which improves accuracy; and because cats and other pets need to enter the urine infiltration filter for defecation, and they lower their heads to sniff during the defecation process, it is equivalent to the RFID electronic tag on the pet passing through the center of the antenna. This design will greatly improve the reliability of card reading.

[0030] In this embodiment, the host assembly is provided with a reader slot 16, and the reader is pluggable and disposed in the reader slot.

[0031] An anti-reverse structure is provided between the reader and the reader slot to prevent damage caused by incorrect insertion of the reader. Preferably, the anti-reverse structure includes an anti-reverse protrusion 41 provided on one of the reader and the reader slot, and an anti-reverse groove 161 provided on the other. Only when the anti-reverse protrusion and the anti-reverse groove are inserted and engaged with each other can the reader and the reader slot be installed in place.

[0032] Preferably, the reader includes a first housing 42 and a second housing 43. The first housing and the second housing are connected by ultrasonic welding to form an integral structure. An encapsulation space is formed between the first housing and the second housing. A reader circuit board (not shown in the figure) is provided in the encapsulation space. A gold finger 44 that passes through the encapsulation space is provided at the front end of the reader circuit board.

[0033] By providing a reader and an antenna, the pet urinal of the present application can easily identify pets. By providing a control circuit board in the host component, automatic monitoring of corresponding pet behavior data can be achieved.

[0034] The utility model can be used in conjunction with an app. An RFID electronic tag is implanted in the pet, or a collar with an internal RFID electronic tag is worn. Then, the serial number of the RFID electronic tag of the pet is registered on the app. When the pet enters the urination and defecation area to excrete, the antenna and the RFID reader operate to read the serial number of the RFID electronic tag of the pet. Then, the app background records behavior data such as the excretion behavior and time of the pet, and binds the read serial number of the RFID electronic tag, so as to identify the corresponding pet's identity information to facilitate the distinction of pets and the monitoring of the behavior of the corresponding pets, such as the number of urinations or defecations per day, the amount of urine excreted each time, and the detection of the collected urine, and so on.

[0035] The above embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present application. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present application shall be subject to the appended claims.
