Description

Infant care equipment

[0001] This disclosure claims priority to Chinese patent application number 202410365647.8, which was submitted to the China Patent Office on March 28, 2024, and the application name is “Infant Care Equipment”, the entire content of which is incorporated by reference into this disclosure. Technical Field

[0002] The present disclosure relates to the technology of care equipment, and in particular to an infant care equipment. Background Art

[0003] At present, baby monitors, also called babymonitors, are wireless home safety protection systems. They consist of two parts: a monitor and a display. By placing the monitor in the baby's room, you can monitor the baby's safety at any time through the display.

[0004] Existing baby monitoring devices primarily consist of a camera and control module placed in a separate baby room. These monitor the baby's activities. When the baby wakes up or cries, the control module sends relevant information to a client, which in turn notifies the parents. Child care robots incorporate a camera, display, speaker, and a robotic body, capable of singing, dancing, and interacting with children.

[0005] However, existing technologies use separate baby monitors and child companion robots. Baby monitors can only monitor infants aged 0-6 months, while child companion robots can only monitor children over 1 year old. Consequently, each device has a limited lifespan. For example, a baby monitor can only monitor infants aged 0-6 months. Once a baby reaches the crawling stage, it loses its usefulness and needs to be replaced with a more advanced child companion robot. This results in relatively limited functionality for existing baby care devices. Summary of the Invention

[0040] The above drawings illustrate specific embodiments of the present disclosure, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and textual descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure in any way, but rather to illustrate the concepts of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art by reference to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] Exemplary embodiments are described in detail herein, with examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, identical numerals in different drawings represent identical or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure.

[0042] At present, baby monitors, also called babymonitors, are wireless home safety protection systems. They consist of two parts: a monitor and a display. By placing the monitor in the baby's room, you can monitor the baby's safety at any time through the display.

[0043] In one example, a baby monitoring device primarily consists of a camera and a control module placed in a separate baby room. These devices monitor the baby's activities. When the baby wakes up, cries, or displays other behaviors, the control module sends relevant information to a client, which in turn notifies the parent. A child companion robot incorporates a camera, display, speaker, and robotic body, and can sing, dance, and interact with children. However, existing technologies often use separate devices: baby monitoring devices can only monitor infants aged 0-6 months, while child companion robots can only monitor children over 1 year old. Consequently, each device has a limited lifespan. For example, a baby monitoring device can only monitor infants aged 0-6 months. Once the baby reaches the crawling stage, it loses its usefulness and needs to be replaced with a more advanced child companion robot. This results in relatively limited functionality for existing child care devices.

[0044] The present disclosure provides an infant care device, which aims to solve the above technical problems in the prior art.

[0045] The following detailed description of the technical solution of the present disclosure and how the technical solution of the present disclosure solves the above-mentioned technical problems is provided with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0046] FIG1 is a schematic structural diagram of an infant care device provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG1 , the device includes: a monitoring device for collecting information, a movable pan-tilt platform, and a robot body;

[0047] The monitoring device is provided with a first plug, the movable pan-tilt platform is provided with a first groove and a second plug, and the robot body is provided with a second groove;

[0048] The first plug of the monitoring device is inserted into the first groove of the movable pan-tilt platform; or, the first plug of the monitoring device is inserted into the second groove of the robot body; or, the first plug of the monitoring device is inserted into the first groove of the movable pan-tilt platform, and the second plug of the movable pan-tilt platform is inserted into the second groove of the robot body;

[0049] If the monitoring device collects information about the target person, it generates a control instruction and sends the control instruction to the movable pan-tilt head so that the movable pan-tilt head moves according to the control instruction; or, if the monitoring device collects information about the target person, it sends the information to the robot body so that the robot body generates a control instruction and controls the movable pan-tilt head and / or the robot body to respond according to the control instruction.

[0050] For example, as shown in Figure 1, the device includes a monitoring device (Fixed Camera) 1, a movable pan-tilt platform (Tracking Pan) 2, and a robotic body (Robert Body) 3. The monitoring device 1, movable pan-tilt platform 2, and robotic body 3 are three separate devices that can be freely combined by the user. The monitoring device 1 is used to collect information about the target person, focusing on accompanying infants aged 0-6 months. The information includes image information and audio information, etc., which are not limited to this. The movable pan-tilt platform 2 is used to move according to the target task during the care process, focusing on infants aged 6 months to 1 year old who are in the crawling and toddler stages. The robotic body 3 includes movable arm and leg joint structures, which are used to respond to information sent by the target person and then interact with the target person. It focuses on children over 1 year old who require more interaction and can realize multiple functions such as tracking shooting, dancing, and game interaction.

[0051] The monitoring device 1 is provided with a first plug (master control 1) 11, the movable platform 2 is provided with a first groove 21 and a second plug (master control 2) 22, and the robot body 3 is provided with a second groove 31. The first groove 21 and the second groove 31 are of the same size, and the first plug 11 is adapted to fit into both the first groove 21 and the second groove 31; the first plug and the second plug 22 are of the same size, and the second plug 22 is adapted to fit into the second groove 31.

[0052] FIG2 is a schematic structural diagram of another infant care device provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2 , the device includes: a first combination structure (a), a second combination structure (b), and a third combination structure (c). In the first combination structure (a), the first plug 11 of the monitoring device 1 is inserted into the first groove 21 of the movable pan-tilt platform 2, that is, the monitoring device 1 and the movable pan-tilt platform 2 are combined into a structure. Alternatively, in the second combination structure (b), the first plug 11 of the monitoring device 1 is inserted into the second groove 31 of the robot body 3, that is, the monitoring device 1 and the robot body 3 are combined into a structure. Alternatively, in the third combination structure (c), the first plug 11 of the monitoring device 1 is inserted into the first groove 21 of the movable pan-tilt platform 2, and the second plug 22 of the movable pan-tilt platform 2 is inserted into the second groove 31 of the robot body 3, that is, the monitoring device 1, the movable pan-tilt platform 2, and the robot body 3 together form a structure.

[0053] First, the infant care device performs a power-on action. Since the monitoring device 1 is provided with a power button, the assembled entire structure can be powered on with one button according to the power button in different assembled combination structures. The power button can also be located on the movable pan-tilt platform 2 and / or the robot body 3, and there is no limitation on the location of the power button or the power-on method. In the first combination structure, if the monitoring device 1 collects information about the target person, it generates a control instruction and sends the control instruction to the movable pan-tilt platform 2. When the movable pan-tilt platform 2 receives the control instruction, it moves the movable pan-tilt platform itself according to the control instruction, thereby performing mobile care for the target person.

[0054] Alternatively, in the second configuration, if the monitoring device 1 collects information about the target person, it transmits that information to the robot body 3. Based on the received information, the robot body 3 generates control instructions and controls the robot body itself to react accordingly. Alternatively, in the third configuration, if the monitoring device 1 collects information about the target person, it transmits that information to the robot body 3. Based on the received information, the robot body 3 generates multiple control instructions, transmits some control instructions related to the movable platform 2 to the movable platform 2, thereby controlling the movement of the movable platform 2, and / or controls the robot body itself to react according to other control instructions related to the robot body 3.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the device includes: a monitoring device for collecting information, a movable pan-tilt platform and a robot body; the monitoring device is provided with a first plug, the movable pan-tilt platform is provided with a first groove and a second plug, and the robot body is provided with a second groove; the first plug of the monitoring device is inserted into the first groove of the movable pan-tilt platform; or, the first plug of the monitoring device is inserted into the second groove of the robot body; or, the first plug of the monitoring device is inserted into the first groove of the movable pan-tilt platform, and the second plug of the movable pan-tilt platform is inserted into the second groove of the robot body; if the monitoring device collects information about the target person, it generates a control instruction and sends the control instruction to the movable pan-tilt platform so that the movable pan-tilt platform moves according to the control instruction; or, if the monitoring device collects information about the target person, it sends the information to the robot body so that the robot body generates a control instruction and controls the movable pan-tilt platform and / or the robot body to respond according to the control instruction. In this solution, a baby care device with various forms is provided, which can accompany infants and young children at multiple stages of growth. According to the various stages of the target person's growth, the monitoring device, movable pan-tilt head and robotic body can be freely combined and disassembled as needed. The flexible assembly form extends the product life cycle, continuously accompanies infants and young children at various stages of growth, and solves the technical problem of the relatively single product function of the care equipment.

[0056] In one example, FIG3 is a schematic structural diagram of another infant care device provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG3 , the monitoring device includes a first main control chip, and the movable pan-tilt head includes a controller and a driving device.

[0057] For example, as shown in Figure 3, the monitoring device 1 includes a first main control chip (SOC1, System on Chip) 12, and the movable pan-tilt platform 2 includes a controller 23 and a drive device 24. The first main control chip 12 is used to control the monitoring device 1 to collect information and generate control instructions; the controller 23 is used to receive control instructions sent by the first main control chip 12, or receive control instructions sent by the robot body 3; and the drive device 24 is used to control the movement of the movable pan-tilt platform 2.

[0058] In the disclosed embodiment, the monitoring device includes a first main control chip, and the movable pan-tilt platform includes a controller and a drive device. Therefore, the present disclosure provides a multi-faceted infant care device that can accompany infants and young children through multiple stages of growth. The monitoring device, movable pan-tilt platform, and robotic body can be freely assembled and disassembled as needed for each stage of the target individual's growth. This flexible assembly extends the product's lifespan, allowing for continuous companionship throughout each stage of growth, resolving the technical issue of relatively limited functionality in infant care devices.

[0059] In one example, Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the structure of another infant care device provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 4, the first combination structure of the infant care device is a combination of a monitoring device and a movable pan-tilt platform. In this first combination structure, if the first main control chip of the monitoring device collects information about a target person, it generates a control instruction and sends the control instruction to the controller of the movable pan-tilt platform, which then drives the drive device to move the movable pan-tilt platform according to the control instruction.

[0060] For example, the first configuration of the infant care device is a combination of a monitoring device 1 and a movable pan-tilt platform 2. In this first configuration, if the first main control chip 12 of the monitoring device 1 collects information about a target person, it generates a control instruction and sends it to the controller 23 of the movable pan-tilt platform 2. Controller 23 receives the control instruction and, based on the instruction, drives the drive device 24, which in turn drives the movable pan-tilt platform 2.

[0061] In the disclosed embodiment, the first combination structure of the infant care device is a combination of a monitoring device and a movable pan-tilt head. In this first combination structure, if the first main control chip of the monitoring device collects information about the target person, it generates a control instruction and sends the control instruction to the controller of the movable pan-tilt head, so that the controller drives the driving device to move the movable pan-tilt head according to the control instruction. Therefore, the control instruction generated by the monitoring device drives the movable pan-tilt head to move. Driven by the driving device of the movable pan-tilt head, the movable pan-tilt head moves to track the movement trajectory of the infant, causing the camera in the monitoring device to rotate and maintain the optimal shooting angle, thereby realizing mobile care of the target person.

[0062] In one example, FIG5 is a schematic structural diagram of a robot body in an infant care device provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG5 , the robot body includes a second main control chip.

[0063] Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 5, the robot body 3 includes a second main control chip (SOC 2) 32, which is used to receive information sent by the monitoring device 1, generate control instructions based on the information, and send some control instructions about the movable pan-tilt head 2 to the controller 23 of the movable pan-tilt head 2, etc.

[0064] In one example, Figure 6 is a structural schematic diagram of another infant care device provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 6, the second combination structure of the infant care device is a combination of a monitoring device and a robot body; under the second combination structure, if the first main control chip of the monitoring device collects information of the target person, the information is sent to the second main control chip of the robot body; the second main control chip generates control instructions based on the information, and controls the robot body to respond according to the control instructions.

[0065] For example, as shown in Figure 6, the second configuration of the infant care device comprises a monitoring device 1 and a robot body 3. In this second configuration, because the second main control chip 32 of the robot body 3 has a higher priority than the first main control chip 12 of the monitoring device 1, the first main control chip 12 of the monitoring device 1 can only collect information and send it to the second main control chip 32, which then generates control instructions based on the information. Specifically, if the first main control chip 12 of the monitoring device 1 collects information about a target person, it sends this information to the second main control chip 32 of the robot body 3. The second main control chip 32 receives the information from the first main control chip 12, generates control instructions based on the information, and controls the robot body 3 to respond accordingly.

[0066] In the disclosed embodiment, the second structure of the infant care device is a combination of a monitoring device and a robot body. In this second structure, if the monitoring device's first main control chip collects information about a target person, it transmits this information to the robot's second main control chip. The second main control chip generates control instructions based on the information and controls the robot body to respond accordingly. Therefore, the combination of the monitoring device and the robot body can enhance the monitoring capabilities of the monitoring device, such as dancing and interactive gaming.

[0067] In one example, Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of the structure of another infant care device provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 7, the third combination structure of the infant care device comprises a monitoring device, a movable pan-tilt platform, and a robot body. In this third combination structure, if the first main control chip collects information about a target person, it transmits this information to the second main control chip in the robot body. Based on this information, the second main control chip generates at least one control instruction, transmits part of this control instruction to the movable pan-tilt platform to control its movement, and / or controls the robot body to respond based on another part of the control instruction.

[0068] Exemplarily, the third configuration of the infant care device comprises a monitoring device 1, a movable platform 2, and a robot body 3. In this third configuration, because the second main control chip 32 of the robot body 3 has a higher priority than the first main control chip 12 of the monitoring device 1, the first main control chip 12 of the monitoring device 1 can only collect information and send it to the second main control chip 32, which then generates control instructions based on the information. Specifically, if the first main control chip 12 collects information about a target person, it sends this information to the second main control chip 32 of the robot body 3. The second main control chip 32 receives the information from the first main control chip 12 and, based on this information, generates multiple control instructions. It sends some of these control instructions related to the movable platform 2 to the controller 23 of the movable platform 2, which controls the movement of the movable platform 2; and / or controls the robot body itself to react based on other control instructions related to the robot body 3.

[0069] In the disclosed embodiments, the third combination structure of the infant care device comprises a monitoring device, a movable pan-tilt platform, and a robot body. In this third combination structure, if the first main control chip collects information about a target person, it transmits this information to the second main control chip in the robot body. Based on this information, the second main control chip generates at least one control instruction, which it then transmits to the movable pan-tilt platform to control its movement and / or to control the robot body's response based on other control instructions. Therefore, by combining the monitoring device, movable pan-tilt platform, and robot body, it is possible to add functions such as dancing and interactive gaming to the movable pan-tilt platform.

[0070] In one example, Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of the structure of another infant care device provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 8, the monitoring device includes a camera and an audio processor. The first main control chip is used to capture image information of a target person through the camera, capture audio information of the target person through the audio processor, and generate control instructions based on the image and audio information; alternatively, the image and audio information are sent to the robot body.

[0071] For example, as shown in Figure 8 , monitoring device 1 includes a camera 13 and an audio processor 14. A first main control chip 12 captures image information of a target person via camera 13 and audio information of the target person via audio processor 14. In the first configuration, first main control chip 12 generates control instructions based on the image and audio information. Alternatively, in the second or third configurations, first main control chip 12 transmits the image and audio information to robot body 3.

[0072] In the disclosed embodiment, the monitoring device includes a camera and an audio processor. A first main control chip is used to capture image information of a target person via the camera and audio information of the target person via the audio processor, and to generate control instructions based on the image and audio information; alternatively, the image and audio information are sent to the robot body. Therefore, by capturing the target person's image and audio information through the monitoring device, the target person's activity status and crying behavior can be monitored at any time, enabling long-term dynamic care.

[0073] In one example, the camera is a fixed camera, or a rotatable camera.

[0074] Exemplarily, the camera 13 is a fixed camera that cannot be rotated, or a rotatable camera that can be rotated, which is not limited.

[0075] For example, in the first method, camera 13 is a fixed camera that cannot rotate. In this case, during the monitoring process, camera 13 moves with the movement of movable platform 2. In the first method, camera 13 is a rotatable camera that can rotate, and camera 13 has a built-in rotatable device. In this case, during the monitoring process, camera 13 collects information. When the first main control chip 12 recognizes that the distance between the target person and the monitoring device is greater than or equal to a preset distance threshold based on multiple image information, it controls the movement of movable platform 2. If the distance between the target person and the monitoring device is less than the preset distance threshold, a rotation instruction is generated based on the distance, and the rotatable device is controlled to rotate according to the rotation instruction, thereby causing camera 13 to rotate the corresponding angle. Alternatively, the clarity of the multiple received image information can be used to determine whether to move movable platform 2 or control the rotation of the rotatable device, etc. There is no limitation on the rotation method of the camera.

[0076] In one example, Figure 9 is a structural diagram of another infant care device provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 9, the monitoring device includes a network module, which is used to connect to a client; the client is used to receive alarm information sent by the monitoring device, or to receive alarm information sent by the robot body.

[0077] Exemplarily, monitoring device 1 includes a network module (connector) 15, which is used to connect to a client, which is an electronic device that installs an infant care device application. The connection method can be wireless, Bluetooth, or other methods, and the connection method is not limited. After network module 15 successfully connects to the client, in the first combination configuration, the client can receive alarm information sent by the monitoring device, or in the second and third combination configurations, can receive alarm information sent by the robot body.

[0078] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the monitoring device includes a network module for connecting to a client; the client is used to receive alarm information sent by the monitoring device, or for receiving alarm information sent by the robot body. Therefore, the present disclosure provides a baby care device with diverse forms that can accompany infants and young children through multiple stages of growth. The monitoring device, movable pan-tilt platform, and robot body can be freely combined and disassembled as needed for each stage of the target person's growth. The flexible assembly form extends the product's life cycle, allowing continuous companionship at all stages of the infant's growth, and solving the technical problem of the relatively limited function of baby care devices.

[0079] In one example, FIG10 is a schematic structural diagram of another infant care device provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG10 , the monitoring device further includes a battery.

[0080] Exemplarily, the monitoring device further includes a battery 16 .

[0081] In one example, FIG11 is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of a monitoring device for infant care equipment provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG11 , the device includes: SOC1 (first main control chip), camera1, camera2, MIC (microphone), battery, connector (network module) and a first plug (master control 1). Among them, camera1 and camera2 collect image information, and MIC collects audio information, thereby monitoring the baby's activity status and crying behavior, and sending the information to the mobile phone through the network module. The first plug (master control 1) is a reserved hardware interface that can be used in combination with a Tracking Pan (pan-tilt head).

[0082] In one example, Figure 12 is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the first combination structure of an infant care device provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 12, it includes: master control 1 connected to Tracking Pan (pan-tilt head). Tracking Pan (pan-tilt head) includes: a controller, a drive device (motor) and a second plug (master control 2). Among them, camera1 and camera2 collect image information, MIC collects audio information, and under the drive of Motor, the movable pan-tilt head moves to track the baby's movement trajectory, and camera1 and camera2 rotate to maintain the optimal shooting angle. Master control 2 is a reserved interface that can be used in combination with the robot body (Robert Body).

[0083] In one example, Figure 13 is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the second combination structure of an infant care device provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure.
