As such, the present creative embodiment is adapted to provide a change in light source as the pet 15 traverses to enhance interaction between the owner and the pet 15.

The detailed structure of the light source 11, the lamp housing 12, the control module 13, and the detection module 14 of the pet lamp 10 of the present embodiment will be described below.

The light source 11 is fitted to the inner wall 1241 of the passage 124, wherein the light source 11 is, for example, plate-shaped and disposed on the inner wall 1241 in a surrounding manner. For example, the light source 11 may be composed of a plurality of light emitting elements arranged on the inner wall 1241, wherein the light emitting elements are, for example, light emitting diodes, and the present embodiment does not limit the kind of the light source 11, and the light source 11 may also be incandescent. Lights or fluorescent lights. In addition, the light source 11 can further include a lamp cover (not shown) that covers the light-emitting elements and is adapted to prevent damage of the light-emitting elements when the pet 15 passes through the channel 124.

The bottom surface 121 and the top surface 122 of the lamp housing 12 have an elliptical or circular shape, for example, and in other embodiments, the bottom surface 121 and the top surface 122 may have different shapes. Further, the outer diameter D of the side wall 123 of the lamp housing 12 is inconsistent with the direction A of the passage 124 extending from the bottom surface 121 toward the top surface 122. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the outer diameter of the bottom surface 121 or the top surface 122 is larger than the outer diameter of the bottom surface 121 or the top surface 122, so that the side wall 123 of the lamp housing 12 is streamlined, and is close to the bottom surface 121 and the top surface. 122 is sleek. In other words, the cross-sections of the lamp housings 12 at different locations may be different, causing the channels 124 to exhibit distortion and unevenness, thereby causing the pet 15 to have more interest in traversing the passages 124.

The control module 13 is, for example, a single-chip controller. Specifically, the control module 13 can be an open source Ardunio single-chip controller, and can be read and detected through an input/output interface panel on the Ardunio single-chip controller. The signal of the module 14 outputs a control command to the light source 11. In addition, the above control module 13 can also be a computer or any single-chip controller (such as Raspberry Pi).

The detecting module 14 is disposed, for example, on the side wall 123 of the lamp housing 12. Preferably, the detecting module 14 is located at the inner wall 1241 of the middle portion of the side wall 123, that is, at the middle of the bottom surface 121 and the top surface 122. In other embodiments, the detection module 14 can also be placed adjacent to the bottom surface 121 or the top surface 122 according to design requirements, so as to improve the accuracy of detecting the pet 15 passing through the channel 124. The detection module 14 is, for example, an infrared detection module, an ultrasonic detection module or an image capture module. Moreover, the detection module 14 can also be a radio frequency identification module, and the pet 15 needs to be equipped with a component to be identified corresponding to the radio frequency identification module.

In addition, the lamp housing 12 may have a support structure 16 , for example, and the support structure 16 is disposed, for example, on the outer surface 1231 of the side wall 123 . For example, the support structure 16 includes a plurality of foot pads 161 (having four foot pads in FIG. 1) that are used to secure the lamp housing 11 to the ground and to carry the weight of the pet 15. In addition, the number and configuration of the foot pads 161 can be made according to design requirements, for example, any number of foot pads 161 are distributed on the outer surface 1231 at the center of gravity of the hard housing 11.

Furthermore, the lamp housing 11 can also include a switch module 17 . The switch module 17 is electrically connected to the control module 13 . The control module 13 turns on or off the light source 11 according to the switch module 17 . In addition, the switch module 17 is disposed on the outer surface 1231, for example, to provide convenience for the owner to open or close, but the position of the switch module 17 is not limited to that shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2.

The manner of use of the pet lamp 10 of the present embodiment will be described below to understand the cooperation between the modules in the pet lamp 10.

As shown in FIG. 2, the pet lamp 10 of the present embodiment is placed, for example, on the ground. Before the owner wants to use, the switch module 17 needs to be turned on first, and the control module 13 is operated to provide the light source 11 that blinks at a low frequency, and the pet lamp 10 emits weak light from the inside of the channel 124. For pets 15, the faint light attracts the pet to drive around the pet luminaire 10.

Then, after the pet 15 is in the vicinity of the pet lamp 10, the pet 15 will be drilled into the channel 124 of the pet lamp 10 according to its own habit. After the detecting module 14 detects the pet 15, the operation control module 13 will The light source 11 is adjusted from low frequency flicker to high frequency flicker so that the light source 11 in the channel 124 is flashed at a high frequency. If the pet continues to be in the channel 124, the control module 13 will maintain the light source 11 at high frequency. In addition, the low-frequency flicker or high-frequency flicker of the light source 11 of the present embodiment is only a relative relationship, and the low-frequency flicker and the high-frequency flicker are all ranges of flicker frequencies observable by the human eye. For example, low frequency flicker and high frequency flicker are below 100 Hertz (Hz), where the low frequency flicker has a frequency of 5 Hz and the high frequency flicker has a frequency of 40 Hz.

After the pet 15 leaves the channel 124, the control module 13 adjusts the light source 11 from high frequency blinking to low frequency blinking. Based on this change in light source 11, it may be helpful to let the owner on the side know if the pet 15 is in the pet lamp 10 to increase the effect of interaction with the pet 15.

In addition, although the above-mentioned pet lamp 10 needs to open the switch module 17 before use, in other embodiments, the switch module 17 may not be provided, and the plug of the pet lamp 10 and the mains (eg, the socket) are directly electrically charged. Sexually connected, the light source 11 of the pet lamp 10 then flashes at a low frequency.

It is worth mentioning that the control module 13 of the present embodiment is based on, for example, the time that the pet 15 remains in the channel 124 to gradually increase the blinking frequency of the light source 11 until the light source 11 is flashed and maintained at a high frequency; likewise, control The module 13 gradually reduces the blinking frequency of the light source 11 according to the time after the pet 15 leaves the channel 124 until the light source 11 blinks and maintains at a low frequency, which can help to improve the interaction between the owner and the pet 15.

Although the present invention has been disclosed in the above embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains may have some modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of this creation is subject to the definition of the scope of the patent application attached.
