Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] As attached Figure 1-4 The illustrated pet wheel pedometer with thermometer includes: a housing 1, a movable component 2, a circuit board 3, electrodes 4, a battery 5, an LCD screen 6, function buttons 7, and a magnetic component 8. The housing 1 has a threaded connection hole 11 and a sensing hole 12, with the threaded connection hole 11 located at the center of the housing 1 on one side of the sensing hole 12. The movable component 2 is slidably connected to the housing 1 and consists of a battery holder 21 and a push plate 22. The battery holder 21 is used to position and install the battery 5. The circuit board 3 is located inside the housing 1 and has a Hall sensor, a temperature sensor, and a humidity sensor. The electrodes 4 are electrically connected to the circuit board 3, forming a channel between them. The battery holder 2... 1. The battery 5 can be electrically connected to the circuit board 3 by sliding along the channel; the magnetic component 8 is fixed near the center of the front side of the wheel 101 of the pet running wheel 100. The center of the front surface of the axle seat 102 of the pet running wheel 100 is provided with a threaded circular hole 103, and one end of the screw 9 is screwed and fixed inside it. The other end of the screw 9 is screwed and fixed in the threaded connection hole 11 on the housing 1. When the wheel 101 rotates, the magnetic component 8 periodically triggers the Hall sensor to record the number of revolutions; the LCD screen 6 is provided on the surface of the housing 1 to display the number of days (DAY), the number of revolutions (R), and temperature and humidity data; the function button 7 is configured to control the data display, data clearing, and reset functions by short-pressing or long-pressing.

[0023] The housing 1 is made of ABC plastic and is fixed to the threaded round hole 103 at the front end of the bearing 102 using a nut screw 9 through the threaded connection hole 11. The magnet 8 is glued to the front surface of the rotating wheel 101, with the sensing hole 12 located above the magnet 8. Each time the rotating wheel 101 completes one revolution, the magnet 8 passes through the sensing hole 12 once, triggering the Hall sensor on the circuit board 3, and incrementing the revolution count R by one. The movable part 2 can slide on the housing 1. The battery holder 21 is exposed by pushing and pulling the movable part 2 with the push plate 22, making it easy to install the battery 5, or push it to the bottom for power supply. The LCD screen 6 can display the number of days (DAY), the number of revolutions (R), and temperature and humidity data for easy viewing and reading. The function button 7 is configured to control data display, data clearing, and reset functions by short or long press. The circuit board 3 is also equipped with a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor to detect the current ambient temperature and humidity.

[0024] Example 2

[0025] Based on Embodiment 1, the solution in Embodiment 1 will be further described in detail below, with reference to the specific working method described in detail:

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the movable member 2 has sliding grooves 221 on both sides of the push plate 22, and the housing 1 has corresponding sliding blocks 111. The sliding grooves 221 and the sliding blocks 111 cooperate to restrict the linear sliding path of the movable member 2. Furthermore, the sliding grooves 221 and the sliding blocks 111 cooperate to restrict the linear sliding path of the movable member 2, ensuring that the movable member 2 will not detach from the housing 1 when pulled outward, and ensuring that the electrodes are aligned and the circuit is connected when fully pushed to the inner end.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the electrode 4 has a positive electrode sensing strip on the side facing the circuit board 3, and the circuit board 3 has a negative electrode sensing strip at the corresponding position. When the battery holder 21 is inserted into the insertion channel, the positive and negative terminals of the battery 5 contact the positive electrode sensing strip and the negative electrode sensing strip, respectively. Furthermore, when the battery holder 21 is inserted into the insertion channel, the positive and negative terminals of the battery 5 contact the positive electrode sensing strip and the negative electrode sensing strip, respectively, thus completing the circuit conduction and enabling the battery 5 to supply power normally.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the liquid crystal display screen 6 is glued and fixed to the other side of the housing 1 where the sensing hole 12 is located. The glued side is provided with a conductive strip that connects the liquid crystal display screen 6 and the circuit board 3. Furthermore, the conductive strip connects the liquid crystal display screen 6 and the circuit board to ensure that the liquid crystal display screen 6 can correctly receive and display data. The independent liquid crystal display screen 6 is fixed by adhesive, which facilitates replacement and maintenance.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the magnetic component 8 includes a permanent magnet 81 and a fixed shell 82. The fixed shell 82 is bonded to the front surface of the rotating wheel 101. When the permanent magnet 81 rotates with the rotating wheel 101, it passes through the path of the sensing hole 12, triggering the Hall sensor to count. Furthermore, when the permanent magnet 81 rotates with the rotating wheel 101, it passes through the path of the sensing hole 12, triggering the Hall sensor to count, and the number of rotations R is incremented by 1.

[0030] like Figure 1-4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the operation logic of function button 7 includes: short press to wake up the LCD screen 6 and display the current temperature and humidity data; short press in the screen-on state to sequentially cycle through the historical data from DAY1 to DAY9; long press for 3 seconds to clear the data for the day; and long press for 5 seconds within 2 minutes after clearing the data for the day to reset all data.

[0031] like Figure 1-4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the LCD screen 6 automatically turns off after the running wheel has been stationary for 2 minutes, and flashes to indicate when the battery is low to prompt for replacement of the battery 5. Furthermore, as a functional embodiment of the device, the battery 5 is a CR2450 battery.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, when the wheel 101 rotates, the housing 1 and the bearing 102 remain stationary. This ensures that when the wheel 101 completes one revolution and the magnet 8 passes through the sensing hole 12 once, triggering the Hall sensor on the circuit board 3, it achieves normal function while also facilitating the viewing of the display screen on the housing.

[0033] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0034] When using the device, first, fix the housing 1 to the threaded hole 103 at the front end of the bearing 102 using the threaded connection hole 11 and the nut screw 9. Then, glue the magnet 8 to the front side of the rotating wheel 101 so that the magnet 8 can pass over the sensing hole 12 on the housing 1 when rotating with the rotating wheel 101. Press the function button 7, and the LCD screen 6 will display the current temperature, humidity, and number of laps. Pressing the function button 7 while the screen is on allows you to view the data from the previous day until DAY 9, then cycle back to the current day. Press and hold for 3 seconds to clear the current day's data. If you press and hold the button for 5 seconds within 2 minutes, all data will be cleared. Every time the running wheel rotates, the permanent magnet 81 inside the magnetic component 8 periodically triggers the Hall sensor through the sensing hole 12 to record the number of rotations. The LCD screen 6 displays the number of rotations incremented by 1. The screen automatically turns off after the running wheel has been stationary for 2 minutes. When the battery is low, the screen flashes to indicate that the battery needs to be replaced. At this time, remove the housing 1 from the base of the pet running wheel 100, rub the push plate 22 to make the movable part 2 slide inside the housing 1 until the battery holder 21 is exposed, replace the battery 5, and restore it to its original state.
