[0002] In modern society, people's love for pets is constantly deepening, and the scale of pet ownership is expanding. Pet feeders are essential equipment for feeding pets; however, current smart pet feeding systems on the market generally suffer from limited functionality. Most products focus only on automatic feeding, lacking automatic water supply. Pet owners need to purchase separate water devices, which not only take up space but also fail to achieve integrated management of food and water supply. Furthermore, existing devices do not adequately consider nighttime use scenarios, with almost no lighting. In dimly lit environments, pets have difficulty quickly locating feeding areas, especially older pets or those with poor eyesight, posing a problem in their search for food. These functional deficiencies make traditional smart feeders unable to meet the all-day, multi-scenario feeding needs of pets, necessitating technological breakthroughs in integrated feeding and water supply and improved nighttime usability.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, provides a more detailed account of an intelligent pet feeding system.

[0021] like Figure 1 The intelligent pet feeding system shown in this example includes a water tank device 1 and a food tank device 2, a camera 8, a control panel 10, a light strip 24, and a voice broadcast device 9.

[0022] The grain storage unit 2 has a hidden central controller at its bottom; an embedded camera 8 is mounted on the side wall and electrically connected to the central controller; directly below the camera 8 is a control panel 10, which is threadedly connected to the surface of the grain storage unit 2; a voice broadcast device 9 is located to the right of the camera and electrically connected to the central controller. Figure 4 As shown, a protruding device is installed at the top of the side wall of the grain storage device 2. A light strip 17 is installed below the protruding device, with a light sensor 7 located on top of the protruding device. The light strip 17 is electrically connected to the light sensor 7, which is also electrically connected to the central controller. According to existing documents, when the ambient light is lower than the ambient light value set by the central controller and a pet approaches, the light strip 17 illuminates. When the pet leaves, the light strip 17 turns off after a 3-second delay. A grain outlet 13 is located at the lower end of the grain storage device 2. A servo motor is located inside the grain storage device 2 and is electrically connected to the central controller. The servo motor model is SG90. Water is stored below the water storage device 1, and a water pump 19 is installed inside. The water pump 19 is electrically connected to a hidden relay, which is also electrically connected to the central controller. A concave drinking bowl 3 is located above the grain storage device 2.

[0023] The control panel 10 includes an LCD screen 11 and four buttons 12. The LCD screen 11 uses an OLED screen. Both the LCD screen 11 and the four buttons 12 are electrically connected to the central controller. The four buttons are used to set the feeding time and feeding duration. The content of the existing document can be displayed on the LCD screen 11. When the content of the existing document is displayed, pressing button 1 in the data display interface switches to the next interface. When the calibration time interface is displayed, pressing button 1 exits the calibration time interface. When setting the timer, pressing button 1 exits if a time setting is in progress, otherwise it switches to the next page. When the data display interface is displayed, pressing button 2 switches to the calibration time interface. Pressing button 2 again selects the value to be set. When setting the time, pressing button 2 confirms the time setting, and pressing it again selects the value to be set. Button 3 increments the data by 1 in the calibration time interface, timer interface, and threshold setting. Button 4 decrements the data by 1 in the calibration time interface and timer interface value setting. The LCD screen 11 displays the timed feeding time in real time. The voice broadcast device 9, using a CN-TTS text-to-speech module, is located near the control panel 10 and electrically connected to the central controller. Based on existing documentation, it plays a call audio message when feeding time arrives, reminding the pet to come and eat. The central controller can control the playback content of the voice broadcast device 9. The camera 8, an OV2640, is located above the control panel. This panoramic camera connects to the food bin and a mobile terminal via Bluetooth. Based on existing documentation, the mobile terminal can obtain real-time video feed from the camera, allowing for real-time monitoring of the pet's eating status. The central controller includes a wireless module that can connect via Bluetooth.

[0024] The bottom of the grain storage device 2 can be detachably connected to the feeding tray 14 for easy cleaning.

[0025] like Figure 2 The diagram shows the interior of the grain silo. In this example, the grain silo device 2 is an independent sealed space. The upper surface of the grain silo device 2 is connected to the grain silo cover 4 by a movable snap-fit, allowing it to be opened for a comprehensive inspection of the internal condition of the device. A sealing ring is provided between the grain silo cover 4 and the grain silo device 2. The bottom of the grain silo device 2 also includes a rotating blade 16. The servo motor is embedded in the bottom of the grain silo, with only the rotating head and the rotating blade 16 exposed and fixedly connected. The servo motor is electrically connected to the central controller. The rotating blade 16 is fan-shaped, extending directly above the grain outlet 13. When the central controller outputs a command, it drives the servo motor to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating blade 16 to rotate, sweeping the grain to the grain outlet 13, which then passes over the ramp to reach the feeding tray 14, preventing blockage of the grain outlet. Above the center of the rotating blade is a ramp 15, which is fixedly connected to the food storage device 2. When pet food is put into the food storage device 2, the pet food is piled up in the rear half of the rotating blade 16 via the ramp 15, preventing the food from going directly to the feeding tray 14 and causing the pet to overeat, resulting in food accumulation.

[0026] The bottom of the feeding tray 14 is equipped with a hidden HX711 gravity sensor to monitor the amount of food remaining in real time.

[0027] Both the light sensor and the LED strip 17 are waterproof.

[0028] like Figure 3 and Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the water tank device shown illustrates that, in this example, the water tank device includes a water pump 19, a relay, a silicone tube 18, a water level sensor 5, a water outlet 6, and a drinking bowl 3. The drinking bowl 3 is located at the top of the water tank device 1, serving as the upper surface cover of the water tank. It is connected by a movable snap-fit ​​and can be opened to view the internal condition of the water tank. A water level sensor 5 is installed on one side of the inner wall of the drinking bowl 3. The water level sensor 5 is electrically connected to the central controller. When the water level is detected, the water level sensor 5 transmits the data to the LCD screen 11 for real-time display via the central controller. The water outlet 6 is located slightly behind the center of the drinking bowl 3 and is threadedly connected to the drinking bowl 3. It is detachable and easy to clean. The silicone tube 18 inside the water tank device 1 is connected to the lower end of the water outlet 6 at one end and to the water outlet of the water pump 19 at the other end. The relay is embedded in the bottom of the water tank 1 and is electrically connected to the water pump 19 and the central controller. The central controller sets a water level value. When the water level sensor 5 detects that the water level is lower than the set value, the central controller sends a command to the relay. The relay drives the water pump 19 to operate, drawing water from the inlet of the water pump 19 and outputting it from the outlet of the water pump 19 through the silicone tube 18 to the water outlet. Finally, the water is output from the water outlet 6 to the drinking bowl 3 so that the pet can drink water.
