The following describes the pet cleaning device in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Please refer to fig. 1 and fig. 2 together, wherein fig. 1 is a perspective view of a pet cleaning device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 2 is a schematic view of the pet cleaning device in fig. 1 after receiving excrement and urine absorbing objects. The pet cleaning device 100 includes a tub 10, a storage case 20, a cleaning assembly 30, and a pet sensing element 40. In which the tub 10 is used to contain the stool-receiving article 200, and the stool-receiving article 200 is used to combine with the stool of the pet to form a stool block (300 shown in fig. 3). The feces include excrement and urine (urine) of the pet.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the pet is illustrated by taking a cat as an example, and the feces-containing article 200 is cat litter. In other embodiments, the fecal suction member 200 may also be coal cinder, husk of millet or wood dust, which may be determined according to actual needs or habits of pets, and is not limited herein.

The cat litter is used for burying the excrement of the cat, is usually used together with the cat litter box, and has good water absorption. The cat litter is divided into organic cat litter and inorganic cat litter according to chemical properties and raw materials, wherein the organic cat litter comprises wood chip cat litter, paper chip cat litter, bamboo litter, grass litter, grain cat litter and the like, and the inorganic cat litter generally comprises bentonite cat litter, crystal cat litter, zeolite cat litter and the like.

The storage box 20 is disposed at one side of the tub 10 and communicated with the tub 10 for storing the fecal mass. Specifically, the tub body 10 includes a tub bottom 11 and a tub wall 12. An opening 121 is formed in the tub wall 12, and the storage box 20 is disposed outside the tub wall 12 and is communicated with the tub body 10 through the opening 121.

In some embodiments, the basin bottom 11 is oval-shaped and the basin wall 12 is formed by an edge of the basin bottom 11 extending away from said basin bottom 11, i.e. the basin wall 12 is oval-shaped and ring-shaped. In other embodiments, the basin bottom 11 may also be square, in which case the basin wall 12 may be made up of four side panels that are joined end to end. Of course, the basin 10 may have other shapes, and is not limited thereto. Similarly, the shape of the storage case 20 is not particularly limited as long as the fecal mass can be stored. In addition, the material of the basin 10 and the storage box 20 is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure, for example, the basin may be made of plastic, metal, or alloy.

It will be appreciated that in order to avoid dropping of the fecal receiving articles 200 into the storage case 20 through the opening 121, the opening 121 should be maintained at a distance from the basin bottom 11 greater than a preset threshold when the opening 121 is provided.

The cleaning assembly 30 is disposed in the tub 10, and is used to move the stool blocks from the tub into the storage case 20, and at least a part of the cleaning assembly 30 can be covered by the stool-absorbing article 200 under the condition that the stool-absorbing article 200 is contained in the tub 10.

Illustratively, the cleaning assembly 30 may include a screen 31 and a drive unit 32 connected to the screen. The screen 31 is disposed on the tub bottom 11 and can move in a first direction and a second direction simultaneously with respect to the tub bottom 11 under the driving of the driving unit 32, wherein the first direction is a direction parallel to the tub bottom 11, and the second direction is a direction perpendicular to the tub bottom 11. That is, the screen 31 may move up and down and left and right with respect to the tub bottom while moving up and down by the driving unit 32.

Wherein, in some embodiments, the screen 31 is disposed adjacent to the tub bottom 11, and the screen 31 is covered by the stool-absorbing material 200 in a state that the stool-absorbing material is placed in the tub 10.

It should be noted that the size of the stool-receiving article 200 is smaller than the mesh size of the screen 31, and the size of the stool pieces is larger than the mesh size of the screen 31, so that the stool-receiving article 200 falls from the side of the screen 31 away from the tub bottom 11 to the tub bottom 11 through the mesh of the screen 31 while the stool pieces remain on the screen 31 during the movement of the screen 31 in the first direction and the second direction, and thus the stool pieces are filtered out of the stool-receiving article 200. In addition, the specific structure and operation of the cleaning assembly 30 will be described in detail later.

That is, the presence of the pet is sensed and an image is taken of the time the pet is present based on thermal imaging technology. Therefore, the pet can be sensed under the condition of darker light (such as at night), and the pet detection sensitivity is improved. In other embodiments, the pet sensing element 40 may also be other shooting cameras, which is not limited herein.

The thermal imaging technology is characterized in that an infrared detector and an optical imaging objective lens are utilized to receive an infrared radiation energy distribution pattern of a detected target and reflect the infrared radiation energy distribution pattern to a photosensitive element of the infrared detector, so that an infrared thermography is obtained, and the thermography corresponds to a thermal distribution field on the surface of an object. That is, thermal infrared imagers convert the invisible infrared energy emitted by an object into a visible thermal image. The different colors on the thermal image represent the different temperatures of the object being measured.

Optionally, the infrared thermal imager has adjustable shooting height and shooting angle. For example, the thermal infrared imager may be provided with a lifting and rotating mechanism (not shown), so that the shooting height and the shooting angle of the thermal infrared imager can be adjusted according to actual needs, further shooting at different heights and different angles is realized, reinstallation is not required, manual participation of a user is reduced, and cost can be reduced.

It should be noted that, after entering the tub 10, the pet may have a defecation behavior, or may leave without the defecation behavior, so in order to improve the detection accuracy of the defecation behavior of the pet, in some embodiments, the defecation behavior of the pet may be determined in a case where multiple frames of the target image within a preset time period indicate that the pet enters the tub, leaves the tub, and leaves excrement.

Illustratively, the processor 50 is communicatively connected to the pet sensing element 40, the pet sensing element 40 transmits the captured image (thermal imaging image) to the processor 50, and the processor 50 may detect the received target image according to a preset algorithm, and then determine whether the pet is present in the tub 10 and whether defecation occurs.

For example, the processor 50 may perform object detection on the images based on a pre-trained neural network to determine whether a pet is present in the basin 10 or is away from the basin. The YOLO target detection network can be trained on the constructed pet thermal imaging target detection data set by using a deep learning method, so that the trained neural network is obtained.

In addition, with regard to the stool and urine behaviors of pets, an SVM (Support Vector machine) linear classifier can be used for distinguishing different thermal images of excrement by a machine learning method.
