Pet toilet and control method thereof
The present disclosure provides a pet toilet and a control method thereof. The pet toilet includes a circuit board, a first detection module, a base, and a roller rotatably arranged on the base. The first detection module is electrically connected to the circuit board to feed back an electrical signal to the circuit board when a pet enters the roller, and the circuit board controls the roller to rotate according to the electrical signal fed back by the first detection module. The present disclosure aims to solve the problem of misjudgment easily caused the fact that only the weighing sensor is used to perform waste clearing in the prior art. The probability of misjudgment on the defecation of a pet is effectively reduced. The number of times of rotation of the roller is reduced; and the power consumption is reduced.
1 . A control method applicable to a pet toilet the pet toilet comprising a circuit board, a first detection module, a second detection module electrically connected to the circuit board, a base, and a roller rotatably arranged on the base, wherein the first detection module is electrically connected to the circuit board to feed back an electrical signal to the circuit board when a pet enters the roller, and the circuit board controls the roller to rotate according to the electrical signal fed back by the first detection module, the circuit board controls the roller to stop rotating according to a signal fed back by the second detection module, wherein the control method comprises steps of:
receiving a first electrical signal fed back by the first detection module;
receiving a second electrical signal fed back by the first detection module; and
performing a waste cleaning action to control the roller to rotate to discharge waste;
wherein after the step of receiving the first electrical signal fed back by the first detection module, the control method further comprises a step of:
recording first data, wherein the first data comprises a number of times of entry and a quantity of pets that have entered the roller for defecation; the number of times of entry is the number of the pets entering the roller within one waste cleaning cycle; the quantity of pets that have entered the roller for defecation is an actual quantity of pets that have entered the roller for defecation plus 1; and the actual quantity of pets that have entered the roller for defecation is a quantity of pets that have accumulatively entered the roller within one waste cleaning cycle and stayed for a second preset time period.
2 . The control method for the pet toilet according to claim 1 , wherein in the process of performing the waste cleaning action, the control method further comprises steps of:
detecting a third electrical signal fed back by the second detection module; and
controlling the roller to stop rotating when the third electrical signal fed back by the second detection module has been received.
3 . The control method for the pet toilet according to claim 1 , wherein before the step of performing the waste cleaning action, the control method further comprises a step of:
not receiving first electrical signal fed back by the first detection module within a first preset time period.
4 . The control method for the pet toilet according to claim 1 , wherein before the step of performing the waste cleaning action, the control method further comprises steps of:
receiving the first electrical signal fed back by the first detection module within a first preset time period; and
starting to perform the control method from the step of receiving the first electrical signal fed back by the first detection module within the first preset time period.
5 . The control method for the pet toilet according to claim 1 , wherein
the first detection module is a distance sensor, and the second detection module is a photoelectric sensor;
the first electrical signal is an electrical signal fed back to the circuit board when the first detection module has detected a decrease in a distance; and
the second electrical signal is an electrical signal fed back to the circuit board when the first detection module has detected an increase in the distance.
6 . The control method for the pet toilet according to claim 1 , wherein after the step of receiving the first electrical signal fed back by the first detection module, the control method further comprises a step of:
starting a timer, and forming first time.
7 . The control method for the pet toilet according to claim 6 , wherein after the step of receiving the second electrical signal fed back by the first detection module, the control method further comprises steps of:
stopping the timer;
determining whether the first time is greater than the second preset time period; and
if yes, recording that the quantity of pets that have entered the roller for defecation is the actual quantity of pets that have entered the roller for defecation.
8 . The control method for the pet toilet according to claim 7 , wherein after the step of receiving the second electrical signal fed back by the first detection module, the control method further comprises a step of:
matching the first data, comprising matching the first time with the first data obtained after a pet enters the roller at the last time to determine the number of the pets that have entered the roller and stayed for the first time within one waste cleaning cycle.
9 . The control method for the pet toilet according to claim 7 , wherein after the step of determining whether the first time is greater than the second preset time period, the control method further comprises a step of:
if no, subtracting the quantity of pets that have entered the roller for defection by 1.
10 . The control method for the pet toilet according to claim 9 , wherein after the step of performing the waste cleaning action, the control method further comprises a step of:
clearing the first time and the first data.
