[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," and "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" 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 a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0024] Please refer to the accompanying diagrams in all instruction manuals:

[0025] A multifunctional solar-powered dog kennel includes a dog kennel body 1, a control button 2 on one side of the dog kennel body 1, a bracket 3 fixedly mounted on the upper side of the dog kennel body 1, a solar panel 4 hinged to the bracket 3 via a damping pivot, a battery 5 on one side of the dog kennel body 1, the solar panel 4 being electrically connected to the battery 5 via a charging controller, a plant placement slot 6 between the dog kennel body 1 and the bracket 3, several omnidirectional wheels 7 evenly distributed on the lower side of the dog kennel body 1, each omnidirectional wheel 7 equipped with a braking device, an opening 8 at the bottom of the dog kennel body 1, a collection frame 9 slidably connected to the opening 8, a perforated plate 10 slidably connected above the opening 8 and the perforated plate 10 symmetrically fixedly mounted with connecting rods, a spring 11 fixedly mounted at one end of the connecting rod extending from the dog kennel body 1, the spring 11 being fixedly connected to the dog kennel body 1, and an auxiliary cleaning mechanism and an automatic feeding mechanism inside the dog kennel body 1.

[0026] As described above, the doghouse body 1 is placed on the balcony, and the solar panel 4 is manually flipped to adjust it to a suitable angle. The solar panel 4 can power the battery 5, which can also be powered by connecting to the household circuit. The casters 7 can improve the mobility of the doghouse body 1, and the braking device facilitates movement and positioning. The perforated board 10 vibrates under the action of the spring 11, and the collection box 9 can collect excrement or dog hair that falls on the perforated board 10. Pulling out the collection box 9 allows for centralized cleaning and tidying.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the auxiliary cleaning mechanism includes symmetrically arranged grooves 12 in the dog kennel body 1, wherein a reciprocating screw 13 is rotatably connected in one side of the groove 12, and a detachable cleaning brush is threadedly connected to the reciprocating screw 13. The other end of the detachable cleaning brush is slidably connected to the corresponding groove 12. A drive motor is provided in the dog kennel body 1, and the output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the reciprocating screw 13. The drive motor is electrically connected to the control button 2 and the battery 5.

[0028] As described above, when the power to the drive motor is turned on, the reciprocating screw 13 can be rotated, causing the detachable cleaning brush to move back and forth to clean the perforated plate 10. This brushes away some of the excrement that is difficult to shake off. After cleaning, the detachable cleaning brush can be removed to clean the perforated plate 10 and the detachable cleaning brush.

[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the detachable cleaning brush includes a connecting block 14 threadedly connected to the reciprocating lead screw 13 and a connecting block 2 slidably connected to the slide groove 12. A cleaning brush body 16 is inserted between the connecting block 14 and the connecting block 2 15. The cleaning brush body 16 is symmetrically provided with locking blocks 17 on both sides. The locking blocks 17 are magnetically connected to the connecting block 14 and the connecting block 2 15. The cleaning brush body 16 is in contact with the perforated plate 10.

[0030] As can be seen from the above description, the magnetic connection method allows users to easily disassemble or install the cleaning brush body 16 manually, making it convenient to use and assisting users in cleaning.

[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the automatic feeding mechanism includes an automatic feeder 18 set inside the dog kennel body 1. The automatic feeder 18 is electrically connected to the control button 4 and the battery 5. A storage compartment is provided outside the dog kennel body 1 corresponding to the automatic feeder 18. The dog kennel body 1 is hinged to the storage compartment with an opening and closing mechanism 19.

[0032] As can be seen from the above description, when the opening and closing plate 19 is opened, the corresponding water and dog food are stored in the storage compartment. The storage box is connected to the automatic feeder 18, which can regularly and quantitatively dispense dog food and water.

[0033] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the dog kennel body 1 is provided with a storage groove 20 and a ventilation hole 21 on one side;

[0034] As can be seen from the above description, the storage compartment 20 can store pet supplies such as dog food and water; the ventilation hole 21 can increase the dog's comfort inside the doghouse body 1.

[0035] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a control plate 22 is fixedly connected between the connecting rods;

[0036] As can be seen from the above description, when cleaning the perforated plate 10, the user can directly pull the control plate 22 and release it, causing the spring 11 to deform. Using the elastic force, the perforated plate 10 vibrates back and forth, allowing the excrement on the perforated plate 10 to drain down.

[0037] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a protective pad 23 is provided on the bracket 3 corresponding to the solar panel 4;

[0038] As can be seen from the above description, the protective pad 23 can provide a certain degree of protection for the solar panel 4 when it is stored, and can also reduce the noise that occurs when the solar panel 4 and the bracket 3 are combined; the multi-angle manually rotating solar panel 4 adopts a damping rotating shaft and combines the solar panel 4 and the bracket 3. The rotation method can effectively solve the problem of the angle of sunlight and can be flexibly adjusted according to different angles.

[0039] All electrical components mentioned in the text are electrically connected to the main controller and power supply. The main controller can be a conventional and known device such as a computer, and the existing publicly available power connection technology will not be elaborated in the text.

[0040] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the specific embodiments shown are only one of the embodiments of the present invention. The actual structure is not limited to this. In short, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by this description and designs a similar structure and embodiment without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such design should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
