[0047] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific situations.

[0048] See Figures 1 to 7As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present application provides a pet feeder with a fish-eye camera, including: a main box body 1, a feeding bowl 2 and a control component 3. The main box body 1 has a material storage cavity and a discharge port 11, and the discharge port 11 can communicate with the material storage cavity. The feeding bowl 2 is connected to the main box body 1, and the feeding bowl 2 is located on one side of the discharge port 11 of the main box body 1. The control component 3 is arranged in the main box body 1. The control component 3 has a control panel 31 and a fish-eye camera 32. The control panel 31 is exposed outside the main box body 1. The control panel 31 is located on the side of the main box body 1 facing the feeding bowl 2. The position of the control panel 31 is higher than that of the feeding bowl 2. The fish-eye lens 321 of the fish-eye camera 32 is exposed outside the control panel 31. At least part of the feeding bowl 2 is within the shooting range of the fish-eye camera 32. A fish-eye camera 32 is arranged on the pet feeder of the present application, which has a large shooting angle of view, is conducive to obtaining images of the whole body of the pet and a wider environment, and improves the user experience. The fish-eye camera 32 of the present application can select a lens with a focal length of 16 mm or shorter and a viewing angle close to or equal to 180°.

[0049] In some possible implementation schemes, the control panel 31 is provided with a shooting hole, and the fish-eye lens 321 of the fish-eye camera 32 extends to the shooting hole. By providing a shooting hole on the control panel 31, the fish-eye lens 321 can be avoided, so that external light can smoothly enter the fish-eye camera 32. A plurality of buttons 314 are also arranged on the control panel 31, which can be used to input control instructions.

[0050] In some possible implementation schemes, the fish-eye lens 321 has a convex spherical surface, and the spherical surface protrudes from the outer surface of the control panel 31. The fish-eye lens 321 partially protrudes from the outer surface of the control panel 31, which can avoid the control panel 31 from blocking the pipeline and reduce the shooting angle of view range of the fish-eye lens 321.

[0051] In some possible embodiments, the control component 3 has a control circuit board 33, the control circuit board 33 is connected to the control panel 31, and the fish-eye camera 32 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 33. Among them, the control circuit board 33 has a fish-eye image correction module. Although the fish-eye lens 321 can capture a wider viewing angle, there is a large difference between the fish-eye lens 321 and the real-world scene in people's eyes. Because the scenes we see in real life have regular fixed forms, while the picture effect generated by the fish-eye lens 321 exceeds this category, the foreground of the image is severely exaggerated, and relatively serious perspective distortion can occur, affecting the viewing effect. In the embodiment of the present application, a fish-eye image correction module can be set on the control circuit board 33 (controller). The fish-eye image correction module can include a storage medium, and fish-eye image correction program instructions are stored in the storage medium. When the controller of the control circuit board 33 reads the correction program instructions, the controller executes the fish-eye image correction program instructions, and the control circuit board 33 can also be connected to an intelligent terminal to send the corrected image data to the intelligent terminal. The intelligent terminal can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook, a desktop computer, and so on.

[0052] It should be noted that there are multiple key trigger parts on the control circuit board 33, and an extension body extending towards the control circuit board is provided on the key 314 of the control panel 31. When the key 314 is pressed, the extension body will contact and trigger the key trigger part on the control circuit board 33, causing the pet feeder to perform corresponding actions, such as feeding, turning on and off the power, and so on.

[0053] In some possible embodiments, a fish-eye image correction module may not be provided on the control circuit board 33. The control circuit board 33 is communicatively connected to an intelligent terminal or a cloud server, and the intelligent terminal or the cloud server has a fish-eye image correction module, so that the intelligent terminal or the cloud server can be fully utilized for data processing, reducing the cost of the pet feeder.

[0054] In some possible embodiments, the control panel 31 and the control circuit board 33 are spaced apart and arranged in parallel. The fish-eye camera 32 is located between the control panel 31 and the control circuit board 33, and one end of the fish-eye camera 32 facing away from the fish-eye lens 321 is fixedly connected to the control circuit board 33.

[0055] Multiple pins can be provided on the fish-eye camera 32 to be welded and fixed to the control circuit board 33. The fish-eye camera 32 is directly connected to the control circuit board 33, and the fish-eye camera 32 extends from the control circuit board 33 to one side of the control panel 31. The fish-eye camera 32 does not need to be connected to the control circuit board 33 through a cable, simplifying the circuit, simplifying the assembly structure, and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0056] In some possible embodiments, the control panel 31 is provided with a camshaft 311, and connection holes are provided on the control circuit board 33. The camshaft 311 abuts against the control circuit board 33. One end of a connecting member passes through the connection hole and is connected to the camshaft 311, and the other end of the connecting member is limited to the control circuit board 33.

[0057] In some possible embodiments, the pet feeder includes a lamp board 4 which has a through hole 41. The lamp board 4 is disposed between the control panel 31 and the control circuit board 33. The lamp board 4 is sleeved on the outer cylinder shell of the fish-eye camera 32 through the through hole 41. A photosensitive module 42 and a fill light 43 are provided on the lamp board 4. The lamp board 4 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 33. An avoidance opening for avoiding the photosensitive module 42 and the fill light 43 is provided on the control panel 31. The lamp board 4 can be connected to the control panel 31 by fasteners. The photosensitive module 42 can sense the light on one side of the feeding bowl 2. When a pet eats food on one side of the feeding bowl 2, it will affect the light collection amount of the photosensitive module, trigger the photosensitive module 42, and thus further trigger the fish-eye camera 32 on the control circuit board 33 to collect images. The fill light 43 can be lit to increase the ambient brightness and improve the quality of the collected images.

[0058] In some possible embodiments, a through hole and a light guide cylinder 312 communicating with the through hole are provided on the control panel 31. An indicator light 331 is provided on the control circuit board 33. The light guide cylinder 312 is sleeved outside the indicator light 331, or rather, the indicator light 331 extends into the light guide cylinder 312. The light emitted by the indicator light 331 is led out to one side of the through hole through the light guide cylinder 312. The indicator light 331 can be used to indicate the state of the pet feeder.

[0059] In some possible embodiments, the main box body 1 has an opening 12. The control circuit board 33 extends into the main box body 1 through the opening 12. The control panel 31 is snap-fitted to the main box body 1, and the control panel 31 closes the opening 12.

[0060] The control panel 31 and the main box body 1 are assembled by a snap-fit structure, which has a simple structure. Moreover, the control component 3 can be conveniently assembled on the main box body 1 by passing through the opening 12 from the outside. The assembly process of the control component 3 is simple, which is beneficial to improving production efficiency.

[0061] In some possible embodiments, a claw 313 is provided on one side of the inner surface of the control panel 31. There is a distance between the claw 313 and the edge of the control panel 31. A circular sunk groove 13 is provided around the edge of the opening 12 of the main box body 1. The peripheral edge of the control panel 31 is embedded in the circular sunk groove 13, and the claw 313 passes through the opening 12 and is snap-fitted to the inner wall surface of the main box body 1.
