Fig. 4B is a schematic diagram of the operation of the feeding device of Fig. 1. Fig. 4C is a schematic diagram of the operation of the feeding device of Fig. 1.
請參考圖1至圖4C,給料裝置100包括一儲存槽110、一轉動件120(圖2)、一驅動模組130及一隔板140。在圖3A至圖4C中,為了清楚表示給料裝置100內部的元件,將儲存槽110以虛線表示,並且在圖4A至圖4C中,以虛線示意物體T的位置。1 to 4C, the
儲存槽110包括一第一外殼113及連接第一外殼113的一第二外殼114,第一外殼113形成適於儲存這些物體T的一第一空間111,第二外殼114形成連通第一空間111的一第二空間112。如圖3B所示,第二空間112包括連通的一內區112a及一外區112b,內區112a對位於第一空間111而位於第一空間111的正下方,外區112b與第一空間111錯位而不位於第一空間111的正下方。The
在本實施例中,第一外殼113包括一導引面113a(圖3B),導引面113a位於第一外殼113的底部,第一空間111內的物體T適於沿著導引面113a滑向第二空間112。藉由導引面113a導引這些物體T朝向第二空間112的方向移動,可避免這些物體T卡在第一外殼113角落而造成無物體T輸出的情況。In this embodiment, the
請參考圖2及圖3B,轉動件120設置於第二空間112,且適於被驅動模組130驅動而沿著一軸心X(圖2)旋轉。在本實施例中,轉動件120呈圓錐狀,且包括從外緣往軸心X的方向凹陷的一凹部122及遠離隔板140的一圓錐狀頂部124,物體T適於沿著圓錐狀頂部124滑入凹部122。2 and 3B, the rotating
圖6是本發明另一實施例的轉動件的立體圖。請參考圖6,圓錐狀頂部124具有一擾動結構126。當轉動件120旋轉時,擾動結構126適於擾動位於第一空間111內的這些物體T,使這些物體T均勻散布於第一空間111內,以避免這些物體T集中卡在第一空間111的部分區域而造成無物體T輸出的情況。Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a rotating member according to another embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 6, the
在本實施例中,擾動結構126例如是多條凸紋,這些凸紋繞軸心X而設置於圓錐狀頂部124的外圍,這些凸紋可以對這些物體T產生較佳的擾動效果。但本發明不限於此,在其他實施例中,擾動結構126可以為其他形狀。此外,即使在沒有設置擾動結構126的情況下,轉動件120也可以對這些物體T產生擾動效果。In this embodiment, the
在本實施例中,第二外殼114的輪廓對應於轉動件120的輪廓,轉動件120幾乎佔據第二外殼114所形成的第二空間112,而僅保留凹部122的空間。特別是,在內區112a與外區112b之間的界線處,轉動件120與第二外殼114之間的間隙極小。因此,第一空間111內的這些物體T無法通過該間隙進入外區112b。In this embodiment, the contour of the
隔板140設置於轉動件120底部,而使轉動件120位於儲存槽110與隔板140之間。如圖3A所示,隔板140包括錯開於第一空間111的一隔板開口142,隔板開口142對應於外區112b。The
請參考圖4A至圖4C,凹部122隨著轉動件120轉動而朝向第一空間111,也就是說,轉動件120旋轉而使凹部122輪迴且交替地通過內區112a與外區112b,當凹部122被轉動到內區112a時會朝向第一空間111。如圖4A所示,當轉動件120的凹部122轉動至朝向第一空間111的位置時,凹部122的開口連通於第一空間111。此時,這些物體T中的物體T適於由第一空間111進入位於內區112a的凹部122內,且轉動件120適於推動位於凹部122內的物體T隨凹部122轉動。Referring to FIGS. 4A to 4C, the
如圖4B所示,轉動件120的凹部122轉動而由內區112a轉至外區112b,且同時物體T被轉動件120帶往外區112b。如圖3A及圖4C所示,當轉動件120的凹部122轉動至對位於隔板開口142的位置時,位於凹部122內的物體T適於通過隔板開口142。As shown in FIG. 4B, the
基於上述,轉動件120的凹部122依序將物體T一個一個由第一空間111運送至隔板開口142,進而實現穩定的物體T輸出。在本實施例中,給料裝置100每次僅輸出一個物體T至拋擲裝置200,但本發明不限於此。Based on the foregoing, the
圖5是在圖4B的狀態下另一視角的立體圖。請參考圖3B、圖4B及圖5,給料裝置100更包括可更換地設置於儲存槽110的一限高件150,限高件150位於轉動件120遠離隔板140的一側且位於內區112a與外區112b之間,隔板140與限高件150之間界定出一通過高度H(圖3B)。在本實施例中,通過高度H與一個物體T的大小相近,而僅容一個物體T通過,但本發明不限於此。Fig. 5 is a perspective view from another perspective in the state of Fig. 4B. Please refer to FIG. 3B, FIG. 4B and FIG. 5, the
在凹部122由內區112a轉至外區112b的過程中,凹部122從限高件150下方通過(圖4B)。凹部122內若堆積一個以上的物體T而高於通過高度H,位於上方的物體T會被限高件150阻擋而無法通過。也就是說,每次僅有一個物體T可從限高件150下方通過而進入外區112b,因此,給料裝置100每次僅輸出一個物體T至拋擲裝置200。When the
在本實施例中,對應於不同大小的物體T,可更換不同的限高件150,以改變隔板140與限高件150之間的通過高度H。藉此,更換的限高件150可確保通過高度H始終對應於物體T的大小,而恰好容一個物體T通過。因此,本實施例的給料裝置100可適用於各種大小的物體T,且皆能達到依序一個一個輸出物體T的效果。In this embodiment, corresponding to objects T of different sizes, different height-limiting
在本實施例中,請參考圖3B及圖5,限高件150可滑動地設置於第一外殼113的側壁面且包括一斜面152,斜面152位於限高件150的下部,通過高度H由斜面152下端與隔板140之間的距離來決定。斜面152從側壁面向內延伸,且斜面152位於導引面113a(圖5)旁。In this embodiment, referring to FIGS. 3B and 5, the
此外,在本實施例中,請參考圖2,驅動模組130包括一馬達132及連動馬達132的一齒輪134,馬達132與齒輪134透過一減速齒輪138連動,且減速齒輪138的齒數小於齒輪134的齒數。隔板140位於齒輪134與轉動件120之間,齒輪134與轉動件120透過一轉軸135共軸且同步旋轉。In addition, in this embodiment, please refer to FIG. 2. The
在本實施例中,齒輪134具有對位於凹部122的一齒輪開口136(圖2),但本發明不限於此,在其他實施例中,可以將齒輪134設置為不會阻擋到隔板開口142而省去齒輪開口136。In this embodiment, the
在本實施例中,請參考圖2,給料裝置100更包括一底殼160,設置於儲存槽110的底部並連接拋擲裝置200。轉動件120及隔板140位於儲存槽110與底殼160之間,且底殼160具有對位於隔板開口142的一底殼開口162。In this embodiment, please refer to FIG. 2, the
如圖2、圖3A及圖4C所示,當轉動件120的凹部122轉動至對位於隔板開口142的位置時,由於齒輪134與轉動件120共軸且同步旋轉,齒輪開口136也對位於隔板開口142的位置。此時,物體T適於依序通過隔板開口142、齒輪開口136及底殼開口162,而輸出至拋擲裝置200。As shown in Figures 2, 3A and 4C, when the
在本實施例中,請參考圖2,給料裝置100更包括一霍爾元件172及一磁鐵174。在本實施例中,霍爾元件172設置於底殼160,且磁鐵174設置於齒輪134,霍爾元件172適於感測磁鐵174,進而得知齒輪134的齒輪開口136與轉動件120的凹部122的位置。但本發明不限於此,在其他實施例中,霍爾元件172也可以設置於隔板140,且磁鐵174也可以設置於轉動件120。藉由上述霍爾元件172的感測資訊,有助於提升給料裝置100的控制準確度。In this embodiment, referring to FIG. 2, the

在本實施例中,請參考圖7A至圖7C,當轉輪220轉動時,這些容置部224輪流朝向拋擲口212。詳細而言,如圖7A所示,這些物體T由給料裝置100依序進入這些容置部224中的一個容置部224內。如圖7B所示,轉輪220轉動,葉片222推動位於容置部224內的物體T轉動。如圖7C所示,當容納有物體T的容置部224朝向拋擲口212時,物體T適於被葉片222推動而由拋擲口212拋出。In this embodiment, referring to FIGS. 7A to 7C, when the
在本實施例中,一個容置部224限定容納一個物體T。因此,當這些容置部224輪流朝向拋擲口212時,分別位於這些容置部224內的這些物體T依序一個一個拋出由拋擲口212拋出。此外,這些葉片222可穩定地對被限制於容置部224內的物體T施力,進而可穩定地控制物體T的拋擲軌跡,準確地將物體T拋擲給寵物。In this embodiment, one
在本實施例中,拋擲裝置200更包括一旋轉模組240,設置於殼體210的下方而連動殼體210。旋轉模組240驅動殼體210沿一第二軸向D2(圖2)轉動以調整拋擲口212的方向,且第二軸向D2垂直於第一軸向D1。藉由旋轉模組240可增加拋擲裝置200的拋擲範圍。In this embodiment, the throwing
在本實施例中,物體分配系統10更包括一控制模組(未繪示)及一相機(未繪示)。飼主可藉由例如智慧型手機的遠程搖控裝置與控制模組連線,而透過控制模組控制物體分配系統10。In this embodiment, the
在本實施例中,飼主透過控制模組控制相機,使相機錄影記錄寵物的活動情況,並即時將影像傳送給飼主,讓飼主在離開家時也可隨時觀看寵物活動的情況。此外,藉由相機的即時影像配合上述的給料裝置100及拋擲裝置200,可實現與寵物的互動。下面將對此進行說明。In this embodiment, the owner controls the camera through the control module to make the camera record the pet's activity, and transmit the image to the owner in real time, so that the owner can watch the pet's activity at any time when he leaves home. In addition, with the real-time image of the camera and the
圖8是圖1的物體分配系統的控制方法的流程圖。請參考圖8,首先,於步驟310中,飼主遠程控制開啟相機,即時觀看寵物活動的情況。於步驟320中,系統詢問飼主是否開啟與寵物互動的互動模式。若選擇否,則進行步驟330,相機仍繼續錄影記錄寵物的活動情況,但飼主僅觀看即時影像而不與寵物進行互動。若選擇是,則進行步驟340,飼主除觀看即時影像外,並與寵物進行互動。Fig. 8 is a flowchart of a control method of the object distribution system of Fig. 1. Please refer to FIG. 8. First, in
當飼主選擇與寵物進行互動時進行步驟350,飼主可基於寵物的位置選擇欲拋擲物體T的區域,控制模組控制相機對準該選擇區域而調整焦距。在本實施例中,旋轉模組240設置於物體分配系統10的底部而旋轉整個物體分配系統10,也就是說,旋轉模組240可同步調整拋擲口212的方向與相機的攝影方向。When the owner chooses to interact with the pet, proceed to step 350. The owner can select the area where the object T is to be thrown based on the position of the pet, and the control module controls the camera to aim at the selected area to adjust the focus. In this embodiment, the
於步驟360中,在相機拉近鏡頭時(步驟361),表示寵物與物體分配系統10之間的距離小於一預定距離,控制模組輸出指令使轉輪220以較慢的轉速拋擲物體T(步驟362),也就是說以較小的拋擲力道來拋擲物體T,而可具有較小的拋擲距離。在相機固定鏡頭而無須調整焦距時(步驟363),表示寵物與物體分配系統10之間的距離約等於預定距離,控制模組輸出指令使轉輪220以正常的轉速拋擲物體T(步驟364)。在相機拉遠鏡頭時(步驟365),表示寵物與物體分配系統10之間的距離大於預定距離,控制模組輸出指令使轉輪220以較快的轉速拋擲物體T(步驟366),也就是說以較大的拋擲力道來拋擲物體T,而可具有較大的拋擲距離。In
基於上述,在給料裝置100依序將物體T一個一個輸出至拋擲裝置200後,根據控制模組的指令,拋擲裝置200的轉輪220以不同轉速拋擲物體T。藉此,物體T的拋擲軌跡可以被穩定地控制,物體T可以被準確地拋擲給寵物,進而飼主與寵物良好的互動可以被實現。Based on the above, after the
在本實施例中,物體分配系統10的給料裝置100及拋擲裝置200可不透過飼主的遠程指令,定時自動拋出物體T,以定時進行餵食。並且,物體分配系統10可偵測寵物是否在一特定範圍內活動,若在一特定時間內未發現寵物的身影,則主動通知飼主。此外,物體分配系統10可透過寵物的影像識別其身體狀況,若系統判定寵物飢餓,則主動通知飼主,讓飼主選擇是否進行餵食。In this embodiment, the
此外,在本實施例中,物體分配系統10更包括一麥克風(未繪示),飼主可事先錄音或直接連線通話,以語音與寵物進行互動。或者,物體分配系統10可自動播放錄音,並主動錄影將寵物的反應傳給飼主。飼主可根據寵物的表現選擇是否拋出物體T獎勵寵物。In addition, in this embodiment, the
綜上所述,在本發明的給料裝置中,轉動件的凹部隨著轉動件轉動而朝向儲存物體的第一空間,且隔板開口錯開於第一空間。如此,當轉動件的凹部轉動至朝向第一空間的位置時,物體適於由第一空間進入凹部,當轉動件的凹部轉動至對位於隔板開口的位置時,位於凹部內的物體適於通過隔板開口。藉此,轉動件可依序將物體運送至隔板開口,進而實現穩定的物體輸出。此外,在本發明的拋擲裝置中,轉輪的多個葉片之間形成適於容納物體的多個容置部,當轉輪轉動時,這些容置部輪流朝向拋擲口,而使位於這些容置部內的物體適於依序由拋擲口拋出。藉此,拋擲裝置可適用於拋擲任何形狀能通過隔板開口、進入多個葉片之間形成的容置部的物體,並可將這類物體依序拋出,從而實現對這類物體的穩定拋擲。In summary, in the feeding device of the present invention, the concave portion of the rotating member faces the first space for storing the object as the rotating member rotates, and the partition opening is staggered from the first space. In this way, when the concave portion of the rotating member rotates to a position facing the first space, the object is suitable for entering the concave portion from the first space, and when the concave portion of the rotating member rotates to a position opposite to the opening of the partition, the object located in the concave portion is suitable for Open through the partition. Thereby, the rotating member can sequentially transport the objects to the opening of the partition, thereby achieving stable object output. In addition, in the throwing device of the present invention, a plurality of accommodating parts suitable for accommodating objects are formed between the plurality of blades of the runner. The objects in the setting part are suitable for being thrown from the throwing port in sequence. As a result, the throwing device can be suitable for throwing objects of any shape that can pass through the partition openings and enter the accommodating part formed between the plurality of blades, and can throw such objects in sequence, thereby achieving stability of such objects throw.
