[0037] Working principle:
[0038] In the indoor configuration, the head control core 1 is mounted on the connecting block assembly 3 above the indoor functional component 2, forming a robot with the head control core 1. Inside the indoor functional component 2, a grain storage container 6 and a water storage container 7 are respectively located on the upper part, and are enclosed and shielded by a positioning rear plate 5. Inside the indoor functional component 2, a built-in compartment 20 is located on the lower part, supporting and connecting the grain storage container 6 and the water storage container 7. Separators separate the grain storage container 6 and water storage container 7 during grain and water dispensing, respectively, before the grain and water enter the built-in compartment 20. Inside the built-in compartment 20, a grain dispensing track 9 and a grain feeder 8 are located on one side. Grain from the grain storage container 6 passes through the separator and enters the grain dispensing track 9. Simultaneously, the grain feeder 8 is pushed out by a telescopic rod on its back, at which point the grain exits from the outer end of the grain dispensing track 9. The food falls into the food container 8, where the pet can eat. After eating, the food container 8 is retracted. On the other side of the internal compartment 20, there are water-drinking components 10 and water bowls 11. Water enters the water-drinking components 10 from the water storage container 7 through the separator, and then flows from the outer end of the water-drinking components 10 into the water bowls 11, where the pet can drink. A telescopic waste recycling bin 13 is located on the lower front of the indoor functional component 2. The telescopic waste recycling bin 13 can be retracted into the indoor functional component 2. Garbage bags are placed inside the telescopic waste recycling bin 13. Using the mechanical clamping component 16, the fan component 15, and the brush component 14 respectively provided on the indoor functional component 2, the pet's feces and hair can be collected into the telescopic waste recycling bin 13, and then sealed with the garbage bag using the packing component 12.
[0039] When outdoors, the head control core 1 is installed on the connecting block component 3 above the outdoor functional component 4, so that the head control core 1 and the outdoor functional component 4 form a robot. The outdoor functional component 4 is equipped with a suspension shock absorption module 18 and a planetary gear system 19. When the pet goes outdoors, the robot can move stably in complex terrain and play the role of walking the pet.
