Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pet supplies technology, specifically, it relates to a master control system for an intelligent cat toilet. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the pet industry, intelligent pet products are gradually becoming a new favorite in the market. Among them, intelligent cat litter boxes, as a key product to improve the quality of life for pets and the convenience of pet ownership for owners, have attracted much attention for their functional iterations and technological upgrades. Traditional cat litter boxes rely on manual cleaning, which not only has problems such as untimely cleaning and odor spread, but also makes it difficult to effectively monitor the cat's toileting behavior, resulting in owners not being able to keep track of their cat's health status (such as defecation frequency, fecal form, and other key health indicators).

[0003] While existing smart litter boxes possess basic functions such as automatic cleaning and odor purification, significant deficiencies remain in the monitoring aspect: First, most products rely solely on infrared or weight sensors to determine if a cat has entered, failing to visually record the littering process and making it difficult to accurately identify abnormal behavior. Second, some products with camera functions have limited shooting angles; they either only monitor the interior of the litter box, failing to capture the cat's state before entry, or only film the exterior, failing to observe details of the littering process, and lack clear operational status indicators, making it difficult for users to determine if the device is functioning properly. Third, unreasonable camera installation structures are prone to angle shifts due to collisions caused by cat activity, or image clarity is affected by dirt accumulated during cleaning, reducing the reliability of monitoring.

[0004] These issues not only limit the intelligence level of smart litter boxes but also prevent owners from fully understanding their cats' physiological state through the device, hindering refined management of their pets' health. Therefore, developing a smart litter box control system with comprehensive monitoring capabilities, a stable structure, and intuitively identifiable status has become a pressing technological need for the industry.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This utility model uses dual cameras for collaborative monitoring. The camera inside the enclosure captures details of the cat's toileting process, while the camera outside the enclosure records the cat's entry and exit status, covering the entire process of the cat's toileting and helping owners to monitor health data. The arc-shaped mounting base is stably adapted to the cat toilet structure, reducing collision and displacement. The embedded design reduces dirt contamination and ensures clear shooting.

[0017] 2. This utility model features an independent working indicator light that provides real-time feedback on the camera's status, allowing users to intuitively assess the device's operation and resolving the issue of unclear status in existing devices. The indicator light is prominently positioned on the top edge of the basin, enhancing ease of use and user experience.

[0025] Detailed Implementation

[0026] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the present invention in any way. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention.

[0027] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this utility model discloses a main control system for an intelligent cat litter box, including a base assembly 1, a monitoring module 10, an in-chamber camera working indicator light 15, and an external camera working indicator light 16. The monitoring module 10 is located on the front side of the base assembly 1 and is fixedly installed on the side of the litter box, which can ensure an effective monitoring range around and inside the litter box, without affecting the cat's smooth entry and exit from the litter box due to protruding from the side of ...

[0028] like Figure 3-4As shown, the monitoring module 10 includes a mounting base 101, an in-chamber camera 102, and an external camera 103. The mounting base 101 is an arc-shaped block, and its arc conforms to the arc of the litter box's side, allowing it to fit snugly against the side of the litter box, enhancing the overall structural stability and preventing loosening during cat collisions or daily use. The in-chamber camera 102 is fixedly embedded in the rear end face of the mounting base 101, with its lens facing the inside of the litter box to accurately capture the cat's toileting activities. The in-chamber camera 102 is electrically connected to an in-chamber camera indicator light 15; when the in-chamber camera 102 starts working, the indicator light 15 illuminates accordingly. The camera 102 inside the litter box turns off when the litter box is in use, allowing users to intuitively understand its operating status. The camera 103 outside the litter box is fixedly embedded in the front end face of the mounting base 101, with its lens facing the outside of the litter box. It can monitor the cat's approach and preparation to enter the litter box in real time. The camera 103 outside the litter box is electrically connected to the working indicator light 16 of the camera outside the litter box. When the camera 103 is working, the working indicator light 16 of the camera outside the litter box is lit, making it easy for users to understand its working status. The shooting angle range α of the camera inside the litter box and the shooting angle range β of the camera outside the litter box are both less than 180 degrees. This angle range setting can effectively avoid unnecessary redundant areas in the shooting image, while ensuring complete coverage of the target monitoring area and improving the practicality of the monitoring image.

[0029] Working principle

[0030] When this utility model is in operation, the monitoring module 10 is fixed to the cat litter box side of the base assembly 1 via the mounting base 101. The in-chamber camera 102 and the external camera 103 capture images from the rear and front ends of the mounting base 101, respectively. When the system is started, the in-chamber camera 102 captures the scene inside the cat litter box in real time, and simultaneously triggers the working indicator light of the in-chamber camera 102 to indicate to the user that the camera is in normal working condition. The external camera 103 continuously monitors the external area of ​​the cat litter box, and correspondingly triggers the working indicator light of the external camera 103 to indicate its operating status. The shooting angle range of both cameras is controlled within 180 degrees, which not only ensures accurate coverage of the details of cats using the litter box inside and the cats approaching and waiting outside, but also avoids redundant images or invalid areas due to excessive angles. Through the collaborative work of the two cameras, combined with the feedback from their respective working indicator lights, dynamic monitoring of the cats entering and leaving the cat litter box and the entire process of using the litter box is realized, providing basic information support for the subsequent data analysis and functional linkage of the main control system.
