[0021] Reference Figure 1-4 The image shown is a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0022] The intelligent pet universal skeleton includes a body frame 100 and elastically deformable leg frames 200, which are connected to the body frame 100. The bottom of the leg frame 200 has an abutment end 204 that abuts against the ground. The leg frame 200 is connected to a power structure, which drives the leg frame 200 to elastically deform so that the leg frame 200 drives the body frame 100 to move forward or backward.

[0023] The aforementioned intelligent pet universal skeleton combines a body frame 100 with elastic leg frames 200. The power structure drives the leg frames 200 to deform elastically, enabling the body frame 100 to move forward or backward. This architecture significantly reduces mechanical components, lowers hardware complexity and manufacturing and maintenance costs, and improves the skeleton's mobility efficiency. Furthermore, the elasticity of the leg frame 200 gives the skeleton more flexible movement capabilities, making the intelligent pet behave more naturally and smoothly when simulating the walking of real creatures.

[0024] In this embodiment, the power structure drives the leg frame 200 to swing towards each other or to swing apart, so that the leg frame 200 drives the body frame 100 to move forward or backward. This simplifies the traditional complex mechanical transmission, reduces the number of parts, improves the reliability and energy efficiency of the leg frame 200's movement, and makes the intelligent pet move more smoothly and steadily on various terrains.

[0025] In this embodiment, the leg frame 200 includes two integrally formed elastic strips. The bottoms of the two elastic strips are joined together to form an abutment end 204, and the tops of the two elastic strips are arranged separately. The two elastic strips are enclosed to form an elastic interval 201 with the top open. The power structure drives the two elastic strips to swing towards each other or to swing apart and expand, and the elastic interval 201 increases or decreases, so that the leg frame 200 drives the body frame 100 to move forward or backward.

[0026] This structure optimizes the drive mechanism of the leg frame 200. It utilizes the deformation characteristics of the elastic strip to achieve drive, overcoming the complexity of traditional multi-component transmissions. This makes leg movements more natural, enhances the interactivity and adaptability of the smart pet, and enables it to more naturally simulate the leg movements of real organisms. In this embodiment, the elastic strip is provided with a plurality of positioning strips 206, which are arranged at intervals between each other, and adjacent positioning strips 206 are arranged at intervals to form a positioning interval 207; the positioning strips 206 extend toward the elastic interval 201, and the positioning strips 206 of the two elastic strips are arranged vertically and horizontally in a staggered manner.

[0027] The positioning strip 206 on the elastic strip limits the excessive swing of the leg frame 200, improving the accuracy and stability of the leg frame 200's movement. It can effectively prevent the legs from losing control, especially when the smart pet runs or turns quickly.

[0028] In this embodiment, the two elastic bars include a hinge bar 202 and a swing bar 203. The top of the hinge bar 202 is hinged, and the bottom of the hinge bar 202 is integrally connected with the swing bar 203 to form an abutment end 204. An elastic gap 201 is formed between the top of the swing bar 203 and the top of the hinge bar 202. The power structure includes an eccentric motor 301, which is connected to an eccentric turntable 302. The top of the swing bar 203 is hinged to the eccentric turntable 302. The eccentric motor 301 drives the eccentric turntable 302 to rotate, and the eccentric turntable 302 drives the swing bar 203 to swing eccentrically, so that the swing bar 203 swings towards each other or swings away from the hinge bar 202.

[0029] By combining the hinge bar 202 and the swing bar 203, and cooperating with the rotation of the eccentric turntable 302 driven by the eccentric motor 301, the traditional complex power transmission structure is simplified, and the flexibility of the leg frame 200 during movement is enhanced, which makes the smart pet's movement performance better when moving.

[0030] In this embodiment, the abutting end 204 is provided with an abutting groove 205, which is connected to the elastic interval 201. The width of the abutting groove 205 decreases from top to bottom along the direction of the abutting groove 205.

[0031] The abutment groove 205 increases the contact area between the abutment end 204 and the ground, and increases the movement space of the leg frame 200 when moving, thereby making the contact between the leg frame 200 and the ground more stable. Especially on smooth or uneven ground, it can effectively prevent slipping, enhance grip, and improve the balance and stability of the smart pet.

[0032] In this embodiment, the frame 100 surrounds and forms an inner cavity 101. The frame 100 is provided with a plurality of spacer slots 102. The plurality of spacer slots 102 divide the frame 100 into a plurality of elastic and spaced frame bars 103. The frame bars 103 extend from the top of the frame 100 toward both sides of the frame 100.

[0033] The inner cavity 101 formed by the frame 100 and the elastic frame bars 103 optimize the structure of the frame 100, enhance its flexibility and impact resistance. For example, when the frame 100 is accidentally stepped on, the inner cavity 101 can provide a buffer space, and the elastic frame bars 103 disperse the pressure, preventing the frame 100 from breaking or being damaged due to direct impact. The spacer slot 102 reduces the overall weight of the frame 100 and improves the mobility efficiency of the smart pet skeleton; at the same time, it also provides space for the elastic deformation of the frame bar 103, effectively absorbing impact and keeping the frame 100 stable.

[0034] In this embodiment, multiple frame bars 103 extend to the bottom of the frame 100 to form multiple spaced bottom sections 104. The bottom sections 104 make the center of gravity of the frame 100 evenly distributed, improving the standing stability of the smart pet. More importantly, the bottom sections 104 can disperse the impact force when the bottom of the frame 100 is impacted, protecting the internal components in the inner cavity 101 of the frame 100.

[0035] In this embodiment, the frame is an openable one-piece molded structure. The top of the frame has an opening and closing interface 400. The opening and closing interface 400 is arranged along the top axis of the frame and extends through the entire top of the frame. When the frame is in the open state, the opening and closing interface 400 is separated, and the bottom section is connected to the bottom of the frame. Multiple opening and closing strips 401 are provided on both sides of the opening and closing interface 400. Each opening and closing strip 401 has multiple threaded holes 402. The multiple opening and closing strips 401 on both sides are arranged in parallel and corresponding to each other. The opening and closing strips 401 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the opening and closing interface 400. When the frame is in the closed state, the opening and closing interface 400 is closed, the frame forms an inner cavity, the opening and closing strips 401 on both sides abut against each other, and the threaded holes 402 pass through each other. In this way, bolts can be used for connection and fixation.

[0036] This openable, one-piece molding structure not only simplifies the disassembly and assembly of the frame and reduces the difficulty of processing and maintenance, but also provides more flexible layout space for the internal cavity, improving the practicality of the frame.

[0037] In this embodiment, the frame is provided with a rotating rod 109 and a rotating motor 110. The middle part of the rotating rod 109 is connected to the rotating motor 110, and the two ends of the rotating rod 109 are respectively connected to the frame. The rotating motor 110 drives the rotating rod 109 to rotate, so that the frame bends and twists. In this way, only one rotating motor 110 is needed to realize the complex movement of the frame, which is different from the complex driving method of traditional multi-motor and multi-link, thereby reducing hardware costs and manufacturing difficulty.

[0038] In addition, the two ends of the rotating rod 109 are connected to the body frame. When the rotating motor 110 drives the rotating rod 109 to swing, the force will be evenly transmitted to the two ends of the body frame, so that the body frame presents a natural bending and twisting shape. This movement mode can simulate the gait and dynamic behavior of real animals, making the intelligent pet more flexible and realistic in movement.

[0039] In this embodiment, a rigid box 105 is provided in the inner cavity 101, and electronic devices are installed in the box 105.

[0040] In this way, the rigid housing 105 provides a stable protective space for the electronic components, preventing them from being damaged by vibration or impact during movement, while optimizing the space utilization inside the frame 100; the electronic components enable users to control the movement of the smart pet skeleton, preferably through wireless connection.

[0041] In this embodiment, the frame 100 is provided with an elastic shaft 106, and a head 300 is connected to the elastic shaft 106. The head 300 is located outside the frame 100. Multiple traction ropes 107 are provided around the outer periphery of the elastic shaft 106. The multiple traction ropes 107 are arranged around the elastic shaft 106 at intervals in the circumferential direction. The front end of the leash 107 is connected to the head 300, and the rear end of the leash 107 is connected to the retractor 108. The retractor 108 retracts or releases the leash 107 to make the elastic shaft 106 swing elastically, so that the head 300 swings in space. In this way, the head 300 of the smart pet moves more naturally and flexibly, enhancing the fun and realism of the human-computer interaction of the smart pet.

[0042] In this embodiment, the retractor 108 is arranged on the top surface of the box 105 and electrically connected to the electronic components in the box 105. This makes the path of the leash 107 shorter and the motion transmission more efficient. At the same time, the electrical connection allows the retractor 108 to be precisely controlled by the electronic components, and can dynamically adjust the tension of the leash 107 according to the scene or user needs, making the head 300 swing more natural and flexible, and enhancing the interactivity of the smart pet.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
