Description

1 TARIFF AUTONOMOUS DRONE-OPERATED FOOD VENDING MACHINE THAT CAN BE FILLED WITH FOOD. Technological Field: 5 This invention allows stray animals living in cities to be cared for by municipalities, foundations, etc. so that it can be fed, it will operate at a low cost and independently of human labor. It relates to a pet food vending machine that can be refilled using an autonomous drone. State of the Art: Today, various methods are used to feed stray animals. Some of these are volunteers who live in areas where animal lovers reside. This happens by having them fill the food and water bowls that have been placed. In some regions, 15 Meanwhile, municipalities and aid organizations protect and feed stray animals. However, in some areas the number of stray animals is very high. Nutrition may be inadequate. Lack of sufficient attention and people's busy lifestyles... Their longer lifespans shorten the time they spend caring for stray animals. Therefore... Automatic feeding machines have been developed. 20 The utility model application numbered CN204796443U concerns "Environmental Protection and Stray Animals". The novel "Automatic Feeder" is described. The invention is an environmental protection measure for stray animals. It provides a new automatic feeder, the solar panel is placed on top of the feeder, next to the camera. mounting on the front of the feeder, attaching an infrared probe to the bottle inlet, 25 It is equipped with a speaker for receiving the speaker. Feeder for the animal. The area and department in front are eaten, the motor is mounted on the food bin, the program The control motor passes through the worm gear, and the gear drive system drives the rotation of the rotating blade. It operates, performs automatic feeding, and prevents leakage of the material tube perpendicular to the food. The bowl is facing downwards, the pouring spout is perpendicular to the water tray, the district will be supplied with a beverage bottle 30 it is placed in the feeder, accessed via a rear door in the feeder, and properly reused. It is filled and maintained, has beneficial effects, and provides energy-saving environmental protection. 2 The positive impact and the outstanding low-carbon green theme, recycling waste being able to get it, it becoming useless, and free food and water for the stray animal. Its effectiveness lies in providing, generating, and impacting significant social and public benefit. The advertisement for green. It's also for food, but it also has great commercial promise. Patent application number WO2015160319A1 states "Recycling for Street Animals" The invention describes a "Transformation Bin and Feeding Device". It concerns packaging materials that are thrown into it. a recycling company that gives street animals adjustable amounts of food in exchange for their waste. It is related to the recycling bin. Plastic bottles thrown into the waste inlet hole on the cabinet, The wire switch on a tin can, composite packaging, or glass bottle, which is normally closed, is activated by touching it. It opens the circuit and instructs it to operate for a predetermined period of time. The relay switch, upon receiving the command, activates the motor for a predetermined period of time. It supplies energy and the electric motor activates the dosing mechanism for a predetermined period of time. It operates throughout the process and releases a certain amount of food and water into the food and water tanks. Above are some examples of recycling waste materials and caring for stray animals. The text describes vending machines used to provide food. It also mentions the waste that is thrown into these devices. The machine detects recyclable waste and sorts it according to the type and quantity of waste. These devices place cat or dog food in the food bowl located in this section. the amount of waste that people will recycle and the number of people who will do this regularly 20 because it will be working accordingly, there will be times when stray animals cannot find food from these machines. This will happen, especially in areas where not many people live or where there is a recycling mindset. In areas where people don't accept stray animals, or at night, They will not be able to get enough food. Also, the workers who load materials into these machines or It is done with volunteers. For this, we need to find volunteers who will work continuously or 25 Hiring people increases costs and labor. In conclusion, regular and both The cat can dispense food and water for both cats and dogs, with autonomous systems for filling and operation. A new technology is needed for this to happen. 30 Description of the invention: 3 This invention is an autonomous drone that can overcome the aforementioned disadvantages. It is a refillable baby food vending machine, and its feature is that the drone autonomously operates the vending machines. The filling process is controlled by sensors that monitor the fill level of the vending machines. The system is notified instantly when the water and food bowls are empty, and the sensors detect this and send a notification. The drone is easy to fill, has detachable carrying containers, and is suitable for both cats and... separate food is provided for dogs, and it has a landing platform covered with solar panels. The advantage is that it is a system that can operate independently of human labor, 24 hours a day. The invention involves autonomously filling vending machines placed in specific locations using a drone. Thanks to this, it can operate independently of human labor. The drone has a 3-compartment carrying case attached. The cat food, dog food, and water in the container are filled into the vending machines. Thanks to this, vending machines can be refilled at any time of the day. Inside the vending machine... The amount of food and water is detected by sensors and transmitted to the system in real time. It is reported that when the amount of material decreases, the drone is activated and the vending machine 15 It fills the space. The automaton moves to a known location without the need for an operator. The filling process takes place in this way. The landing platform is covered with solar panels. This This allows it to store the energy it needs. The food bowls in the vending machine. When empty, the containers are detected by sensors and replenished with enough food and water. This ensures that stray animals have enough food and water at all times. This system enables assistance to be found without the need for human labor. Stray animals have access to sufficient food and water at all times in areas where vending machines are installed. It enables him to find it. The invention's components can be easily fastened together, making it easy to assemble. 25 It is being installed, and the costs are low thanks to the short assembly time. Furthermore, the invention has a robust structure. Explaining the Figures: The invention will be described by referring to the attached figures, so that the features of the invention can be explained. It will be understood and appreciated more clearly, but the purpose of this invention is this obvious 4 It is not about limiting it with regulations.
