具体实施方式
下面结合实施例详述本申请,但本申请并不局限于这些实施例。文中所述的左、右、前、后、上、下等表示方位的词语仅仅是为了便于说明,根据附图中的位置来进行阐述的,仅仅是一个相对位置关系的表述,不能作限制性理解。
本申请实施例提供了一种宠物卫生系统,如图1至图25所示,包括:壳体10;储砂盒11,设置在壳体10内,用于放置猫砂;过滤网12,设置在储砂盒11内,用于过滤宠物排泄物和污染砂;储便盒13,用于存放过滤网12过滤出的宠物排泄物和污染砂;驱动装置,用于驱动储砂盒11下移和/或过滤网12上移,以使过滤网12从储砂盒11中移出;所述驱动装置还用于驱动储砂盒11旋转上移和/或过滤网12旋转下移,或者驱动储砂盒11振动上移和/或过滤网12振动下移,以使过滤网12移入储砂盒11中。
本申请在壳体10内安装储砂盒和过滤网12,由于储砂盒11和过滤网12中至少有一个是可以在壳体10内上下运动的,过滤网12运动到储砂盒11中,储砂盒11中装有猫砂,宠物从进出口22进入储砂盒11中在猫砂上排便完,然后从储砂盒11中出去后,过滤网12向上运动,或者储砂盒11向下运动,或者过滤网12向上运动、储砂盒11向下同时运动,过滤网12与储砂盒11逐渐远离,在重力的作用下,干净的砂就会经过过滤网12落入到储砂盒11中,而污染的砂以及粪便团聚后大于过滤网12的孔径,无法通过过滤网12,这样就能将污染的砂以及粪便与干净砂进行分离,分离出来的粪便排入到储便盒13中,从而实现宠物粪便与干净砂的自动分离,不需要像现有技术那样清洗砂以及烘干砂,减少了水和电能的消耗,降低了使用成本。而且用户只需偶尔清理一下储便盒13中的粪便即可,不需要借助工具手动清理粪便,更加干净卫生,减轻了用户的劳动量。分离完成后,过滤网12向下运动、或者储砂盒11向上运动或者两者同时运动,让过滤网12置于储砂盒11中,以便下次使用,在两者靠近的运动过程中,由于砂的阻力很大,因此需要过滤网12转动或者储砂盒11转动或者两者同时转动;或者是过滤网12振动或者储砂盒11振动或者两者同时振动,才能让过滤网12置于储砂盒11的砂中,同时使猫砂表面平整。
本申请为了实现过滤网12与储砂盒11的分离,以便分离出宠物排泄物和污染砂,本申请提供了三种方式,一种是过滤网12上下动而储砂盒11不动,一种是过滤网12不动,储砂盒11上下运动,一种是两者都上下运动,不 同的运动方式可以通过不同结构来实现,生产制造厂家可以选择任意一种方式,两者运动的方式效率更高,而且更能够减少猫砂的阻力。
需要说明的是,过滤网12从储砂盒11中移出时,需要储砂盒11下移和/或过滤网12上移,其中储砂盒11下移或过滤网12上移的运动方式可以有多种,示例的,可以直接下移或上移,也可以旋转下移或旋转上移,还可以振动下移或振动上移;而在过滤网12移入储砂盒11的过程中,过滤网12和储砂盒11中的至少一个必须是振动着或旋转着运动。
参考图2至图4所示,储砂盒11内嵌过滤网12,并且可以与过滤网12相对上下移动。待机/感测状态下过滤网12水平位于储砂盒11底部。盛装猫砂后,砂床表面与砂底过滤网12的距离≥7cm。
在实际应用中,储便盒13可以设置在壳体10内,也可以设置在壳体10外,本申请实施例对此不做限定。具体的,参考图3至图5所示,储便盒13设置在壳体10内,且位于储砂盒11的一侧;储便盒13靠近储砂盒11的侧壁上设置有承接口14;过滤网12过滤出的宠物排泄物和污染砂可通过承接口14进入储便盒13。
参考图16所示,储便盒13设置在壳体10外侧;壳体10上设置有排便通道21,排便通道21的一端与储便盒13连接,另一端位于过滤网12下方,过滤网12过滤出的宠物排泄物和污染砂可通过排便通道21进入储便盒13。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例对于壳体10、过滤网12和储砂盒11等结构的形状不做限定,在实际应用中,过滤网12和储砂盒11一般形状匹配,示例的,可以是如图1所示的矩形,也可以是如图16所示的圆形。
本申请提供的宠物卫生系统,在宠物完成排便后,能够自动清理宠物排泄物和污染砂,结构简单,易生产,成本低,且易使用推广,为爱宠物人士带来了福音,让爱宠物人士可以毫无后顾之忧的去旅行,出差,上班,让宠物在家不会因为排泄物太多不能及时清理,而导致卫生问题。
进一步的,所述系统还包括第一感测装置和与所述第一感测装置连接的控制装置,所述第一感测装置用于感测宠物在储砂盒11中的活动信息;所述控制装置用于根据第一感测装置感测的宠物的活动信息,控制驱动装置的工作状态。
具体的,所述活动信息为宠物在储砂盒11中的连续停留时长;第一感测装置用于在连续停留时长大于或等于预设值后,且在感测不到宠物时向控制装置发送排便完成信号;控制装置具体用于在接收到排便完成信号后,向驱动装置发出清洁指令,以启动驱动装置进行清理工作;驱动装置进行清理工作具体包括:驱动储砂盒11下移至清理位置;并驱动过滤网12远离储便盒13的一端上移,以使过滤网12倾斜,在过滤网12倾斜过程中驱动过滤网12水平振动,以使过滤网12倾斜面上的宠物排泄物和污染砂通过承接口14进入储便盒13;所述清理位置为过滤网12完全移出储砂盒11、且承接口14完全露出时储砂盒11的所处位置;第一预设时长后,驱动储砂盒11上移至待机位置;并驱动过滤网12远离储便盒13的一端下移,以使过滤网12恢复水平位置,在储砂盒11上移至待机位置的过程中驱动过滤网12水平振动,以使过滤网12将储砂盒11中的猫砂表面整平;待机位置为过滤网12位于储砂盒11底面上、且储砂盒11靠近储便盒13的侧壁完全封堵承接口14时储砂盒11的所处位置。其中,第一预设时长为预先设置的时长,本领域技术人员可以根据实际情况进行设定,本申请实施例对此不做限定。示例的,所述第 一预设时长可以为5-10秒钟。本申请实施例对于过滤网12水平振动的幅度和频率均不做限定,本领域技术人员可以根据实际情况进行设定。
优选的,所述控制装置具体用于在接收到所述排便完成信号,并等待第二预设时长后,向驱动装置发出清洁指令,以启动驱动装置进行清理工作。其中,第二预设时长为预先设置的时长,本领域技术人员可以根据实际情况进行设定,本申请实施例对此不做限定。示例的,所述第二预设时长可以为3-5分钟。在实际应用中,第一感测装置可以为红外感测器。
进一步的,系统还包括设置在承接口14处的承接板15,承接板15用于在储砂盒11处于清理位置时,阻挡过滤网12与储便盒13之间的间隙。优选的,承接板15与承接口14靠近壳体10底部的一端转动连接。
参考图3至图7所示,所述系统处于待机/感测状态时,过滤网12水平位于储砂盒11底部,此时储砂盒11的位置为待机位置。壳体10内壁上的第一感测装置感测猫咪的存在以及砂床的厚度。第一感测装置感测到猫咪出现,停留,消失的整套动作后,判断为猫咪已完成排便并已离开,倒计时几分钟后启动清洁作业。此时第一感测装置停止感测。
然后,过滤网12水平震动,同时储砂盒11向下移动。储砂盒11向下移动时,便团从猫砂中滤出并停留在过滤网12上。当储砂盒11完全低于过滤网12时,储砂盒11继续向下移动。同时,过滤网12远离储便盒13的一侧向上移动,靠近储便盒13的一侧保持原位。期间过滤网12保持水平震动。储砂盒11下降使靠近储便盒13的一侧露出承接口14。储砂盒11下降时放倒承接板15,挡住过滤网12和储便盒13之间的空隙。储砂盒11继续下降并停止在壳体10底部。过滤网12的一侧继续向上移动,随后停止向上移动并形成向储便盒13倾倒的斜面,过滤网12上的便团从水平震动的斜面上滑落,从承接口14掉入储便盒13中。过滤网12的倾斜角度一般小于或等于10°。
过滤网12保持水平震动,一侧开始向下移动,同时储砂盒11开始向上移动。过滤网12向下移动至水平位置后停止下降。储砂盒11继续向上移动。储砂盒11上升时竖立承接板15,并封闭承接口14。当砂床表面到达过滤网12时,水平震动的过滤网12将砂床表面整平。储砂盒11继续向上移动,过滤网12在水平震动中进入猫砂。过滤网12上可能附着的便团向上脱落,留待下次清理。砂床重新上升并停止在待机位置。过滤网12停止震动,至此系统完成一次清理作业。
其中,控制装置发送的清洁指令包括指示驱动装置进行一次清理工作和指示驱动装置进行两次清理工作。在实际应用中,系统可以包括节能模式和标准模式;在节能模式下,控制装置启动驱动装置后,驱动装置进行一次清理工作;在标椎模式下,控制装置启动驱动装置后,驱动装置连续进行两次清理工作。在节能模式下,系统完成一次清理工作后,重新处于待机/感测状态;而在标准模式下,系统完成一次清理工作后,会再重复一次清理作业,并在作业完成时重新处于待机/感测状态。
参考图8和图9所示,过滤网12采用在平板上制作菱形网孔的方式形成。优选的,菱形网孔的长对角线与过滤网12的倾斜方向一致。菱形网孔的长对角线与过滤网12的水平振动方向一致。
过滤网12网面不是编织结构,而是采用平板漏空制造,将硬质平板漏空出菱形网孔。菱形网孔的内孔径为: 长对角孔径8~16mm,短对角孔径5~10mm。长对角线的方向和过滤网12倾倒的方向一致。菱形网孔边缘打磨光滑,这样可以降低过滤网12表面对便团的摩擦。过滤网12以较小的倾斜度,配合震动,就可将便团顺利滑落,并防止其翻滚,这对于清理有强烈粘性的稀便有重要作用;同时还可以降低过滤网12对猫砂的磨损,减少猫砂粉尘。
如图8和图10所示,过滤网12上连接有滤网支架16,过滤网12远离储便盒13的一端的滤网支架16与驱动装置可拆卸连接;过滤网12靠近储便盒13的一端的滤网支架16与壳体10转动连接。参考图10所示,整个过滤网结构(过滤网12以及滤网支架16)可以按照倾倒便团的倾斜方式,从一侧手动提起,到达倾倒便团的角度后,手动解锁,并继续向上提起,直到完全翻转至储便盒13的一侧,这时可以完全露出下面的储砂盒11来。
优选的,驱动装置包括升降支架,储砂盒11设置在升降支架上。储砂盒11的底部与升降支架可拆卸连接。储砂盒11通过盒底的嵌合结构放置在升降支架上,以方便用户快捷的从设备上取出储砂盒11,更换猫砂和/或清洗储砂盒11后,再安装回去。
进一步的,储砂盒11内设置有第二感测装置,第二感测装置用于感测储砂盒11内的猫砂厚度,当猫砂厚度小于或等于第一预设阈值时,启动加砂提醒。其中,第一预设阈值为预先设置的厚度值,本领域技术人员可以根据实际情况进行设定,本申请实施例对此不做限定。示例的,所述第一预设阈值可以为10cm。当感测到砂床厚度≤10cm时(砂床表面与砂底过滤网12的距离≤7cm),设备停止待机并提示用户清空储便盒13,并添加猫砂。
砂床的厚度保持在10~15cm。储砂盒11内表面四侧均有高度位于15cm的加砂标识线,指示用户将猫砂添加到这个高度即可。第二感测装置在设备待机状态下持续的检测砂床的厚度,当猫砂消耗量达到5cm,即砂床厚度降低到10cm时,将停止设备的待机和自动清洁作业,并启动设备指示灯提醒和APP提醒功能,通知用户添加猫砂。
参考图11和图12所示,所述第二感测装置可以采用机械感测方式。在过滤网12的一侧边缘和储砂盒11内壁之间的缝隙中设置一个长条形的坠重17。坠重17通过活动连杆18和过滤网12的滤网支架16相连。坠重17具有适当的长度和宽度,使它总是位于砂床的表面,无法进入猫砂,并且随着猫砂的消耗而逐渐降低。坠重17降低会改变连杆18的位置。当砂床厚度降低到10cm时,活动连杆18将触发一个位置开关,来发出操作指令。活动连杆18连接在滤网支架16上,使活动连杆18和过滤网12成为一体结构,能够随着过滤网12一起向储便盒13的一侧完全翻转,露出储砂盒11方便用户取出和安装储砂盒11。
进一步的,储便盒13内设置有第三感测装置,第三感测装置用于感测储便盒13内宠物排泄物是否满盒,当感测到储便盒13内宠物排泄物满盒时,启动清空提醒。
储砂盒11中有厚达5cm的砂层用于消耗,如果供一只中等体型的猫使用,续航时间可能长达一个月。储便盒13需要相应的储便容量和控味功能。储便容量可以近似计算为供消耗猫砂体积的三倍。用户通常会在添加/更换猫砂的同时清空储便盒13,但无法排除用户忘记清空储便盒13的情况。设备要能够感测到储便盒13里便团满盒的情况,并停机和提醒。满盒感测系统采用机械方式可靠性较高。
参考图15所示,待机状态下,储便盒13内顶部侧垂有一块感测板20(可以为平板/网板)。启动清洁作业,储砂盒11下降时,感测板20升起到顶部。倾倒作业结束,储砂盒11上升到待机位置时,感测板20重新侧垂下来。 如果便团的堆积超过警戒高度,平板无法侧垂到位,被便团顶起,这将触发一个开关,发出操作指令,停止自动清理,并发出清空提醒。
优选的,储便盒13内还设置有清洁装置,清洁装置用于对储便盒13进行清洁,杀菌和控味处理。
储便盒13的控味采用光触媒和紫外线杀灭组合方式。每次清洁作业后紫外线启动照射适当的时间,光触媒在紫外线的照射下加速催化气体中有机分子的分解,成为水和二氧化碳,降低臭味。紫外线的照射也可直接杀灭便团堆积上层表面的微生物,防止滋生小虫。
在实际应用中,储便盒13的壳体10包括镂空结构,镂空结构的内侧设置有吸附物。储便盒13的侧壁上有漏空结构,使盒内盒外的空气能够流通,将盒内水分排解到盒外。漏空结构的内侧可以装备活性炭过滤片,防止较大微生物进入盒内。
在本申请实施例中,储便盒13的顶盖19远离过滤网12的一端与储便盒13侧壁转动连接。
参考图13和图14所示,储砂盒11封闭承接口14时,储砂盒11边沿和承接口14的上边沿会形成一个切割动作,这给猫咪带来潜在危险。通过设置承接口14,的上边沿(储便盒13的顶盖19)可以被抬起,来消除这种危险。具体的,位于储便盒13顶部的,形成承接口14上边沿的壳体(储便盒13的顶盖19)通过合页结构与其它部分相连。储砂盒11上升时,卡在承接口14的物体能够将顶盖19抬起。物体移开后,顶盖19失去支撑而落下,重新形成承接口14的上边沿。
进一步的,壳体10内还设置有第四感测装置,第四感测装置用于感测宠物排泄物状态,当宠物排泄物状态符合预设状态时,启动健康提醒。设备提供了重要的健康功能:监控猫咪粪便状况,出现稀便时提醒用户。
具体的,第四感测装置包括微波湿度传感器、图像传感器和数据处理单元;微波湿度传感器设置在过滤网12靠近承接口14的位置处,用于检测经过承接口14的宠物排泄物的湿度;图像传感器用于获取宠物离开储砂盒11后的宠物排泄物的第一图像,以及过滤网12过滤出宠物排泄物时的第二图像;数据处理单元用于根据宠物排泄物的湿度、第一图像和第二图像确定宠物排泄物状态,并在宠物排泄物状态符合预设状态时,启动健康提醒。
微波湿度传感器位于过滤网12的一侧,靠近储便盒13的承接口14的位置。当便团经过承接口14时,微波湿度传感器感测便团的湿度/水分含量。如果过滤网12网面采用金属材质,那么整个网面可以作为湿度传感器的探头,当过滤网12滤出便团时就可以开始感测。图像传感器的摄像头位于设备的后顶部,可以在猫咪离开时和过滤网12滤出便团时这两个时间点拍摄便团的图像;
由于小便的便团和正常大便的便团形状比较规则,湿度较低。较稀的大便的便团可能形状规则,但湿度较高。特别稀的稀便的形状不规则,湿度很高。数据处理单元要判断出后面两种稀便,并提醒用户。
数据处理单元对猫咪离开时拍摄的便团图像进行图像识别,不规则的便团判断为稀便;规则的便团则统计便团的总体体积(面积)。设备在倾倒便团时感测便团的湿度/水分含量,并将这两种数据结合起来进行评估,将湿度超过警戒值的便团判断为稀便,启动提醒。
本申请可以与操作终端和服务器进行交互,用户可以远程对宠物的卫生环境进行监控和管理,为用户带来了相 当的便利性和可控性。
