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 storage tank 110 includes a first shell 113 and a second shell 114 connected to the first shell 113, the first shell 113 forms a first space 111 suitable for storing these objects T, and the second shell 114 forms a communication with the first space 111 a second space 112 . As shown in Figure 3B, the second space 112 includes an inner area 112a and an outer area 112b connected to each other. misplaced and not directly below the first space 111 .

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 first housing 113 includes a guiding surface 113a ( FIG. 3B ), the guiding surface 113a is located at the bottom of the first housing 113, and the object T in the first space 111 is suitable for sliding along the guiding surface 113a. to the second space 112 . By guiding the objects T to move toward the direction of the second space 112 by the guide surface 113a, it is possible to prevent the objects T from being stuck in the corners of the first housing 113 and causing no output of the objects T.

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。Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3B , the rotating member 120 is disposed in the second space 112 and is adapted to be driven by the driving module 130 to rotate along an axis X ( FIG. 2 ). In this embodiment, the rotating member 120 is conical and includes a concave portion 122 recessed from the outer edge toward the axis X and a conical top 124 away from the partition 140. The object T is suitable for moving along the conical top. 124 slides into recess 122 .

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 conical top 124 has a disturbance structure 126 . When the rotating member 120 rotates, the disturbing structure 126 is suitable for disturbing the objects T located in the first space 111, so that these objects T are evenly distributed in the first space 111, so as to prevent these objects T from being concentrated and stuck in the first space 111. Part of the area results in no object T output.

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 disturbing structure 126 is, for example, a plurality of convex lines, and these convex lines are arranged on the periphery of the conical top 124 around the axis X, and these convex lines can produce a better disturbing effect on the objects T. But the present invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the disturbing structure 126 may have other shapes. In addition, even if the disturbance structure 126 is not provided, the rotating member 120 can produce a disturbance effect on these objects T. Referring to FIG.

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 profile of the second housing 114 corresponds to that of the rotating member 120 , and the rotating member 120 almost occupies the second space 112 formed by the second housing 114 , leaving only the space of the recess 122 . In particular, at the boundary between the inner zone 112a and the outer zone 112b, the gap between the rotating member 120 and the second housing 114 is extremely small. Therefore, the objects T in the first space 111 cannot enter the outer zone 112b through the gap.

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 partition 140 is disposed at the bottom of the rotating member 120 so that the rotating member 120 is located between the storage tank 110 and the partition 140 . As shown in FIG. 3A , the partition 140 includes a partition opening 142 staggered from the first space 111 , and the partition opening 142 corresponds to the outer area 112 b.

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。Please refer to FIG. 4A to FIG. 4C, the recess 122 moves toward the first space 111 as the rotating member 120 rotates, that is to say, the rotating member 120 rotates to make the recess 122 cycle and alternately pass through the inner zone 112a and the outer zone 112b, when the recess 122 will face the first space 111 when it is turned to the inner area 112a. As shown in FIG. 4A , when the concave portion 122 of the rotating member 120 is rotated to a position facing the first space 111 , the opening of the concave portion 122 communicates with the first space 111 . At this time, the objects T among the objects T are adapted to enter the recess 122 located in the inner area 112 a from the first space 111 , and the rotating member 120 is adapted to push the objects T located in the recess 122 to rotate with the recess 122 .

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 concave portion 122 of the rotating member 120 rotates from the inner area 112 a to the outer area 112 b, and at the same time, the object T is brought to the outer area 112 b by the rotating member 120 . As shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. 4C , when the concave portion 122 of the rotating member 120 is rotated to a position opposite to the partition opening 142 , the object T in the concave portion 122 is suitable for passing through the partition opening 142 .

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 above, the concave portion 122 of the rotating member 120 sequentially transports the objects T one by one from the first space 111 to the opening 142 of the partition, so as to achieve stable output of the objects T. In this embodiment, the feeding device 100 only outputs one object T to the throwing device 200 at a time, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

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 of another viewing angle in the state of Fig. 4B. Please refer to FIG. 3B, FIG. 4B and FIG. 5, the feeding device 100 further includes a height limiting member 150 replaceably arranged in the storage tank 110, the height limiting member 150 is located on the side of the rotating member 120 away from the partition plate 140 and is located in the inner area Between 112a and the outer area 112b, a passing height H is defined between the partition plate 140 and the height limiting member 150 ( FIG. 3B ). In this embodiment, the passing height H is similar to the size of an object T, and only one object T is allowed to pass through, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

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 concave portion 122 turns from the inner region 112a to the outer region 112b, the concave portion 122 passes under the height limiting member 150 ( FIG. 4B ).

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, please refer to FIG. 7A to FIG. 7C , when the rotating wheel 220 rotates, the accommodating portions 224 face toward the throwing port 212 in turn. In detail, as shown in FIG. 7A , the objects T are sequentially entered into one of the accommodating portions 224 by the feeding device 100 . As shown in FIG. 7B , the wheel 220 rotates, and the blade 222 pushes the object T located in the accommodating portion 224 to rotate. As shown in FIG. 7C , when the accommodating portion 224 containing the object T faces the throwing port 212 , the object T is suitable to be pushed by the blade 222 to be thrown from the throwing port 212 .

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 accommodating portion 224 is limited to accommodate one object T. As shown in FIG. Therefore, when the accommodating portions 224 turn toward the throwing opening 212 , the objects T respectively located in the accommodating portions 224 are thrown from the throwing opening 212 one by one in sequence. In addition, the blades 222 can stably apply force to the object T confined in the accommodating portion 224 , thereby stably controlling the throwing trajectory of the object T and accurately throwing the object T to the pet.

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 object distribution system 10 further includes a control module (not shown) and a camera (not shown). The owner can connect the control module with a remote control device such as a smart phone, and control the object dispensing system 10 through the control module.

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 so that the camera records the pet's activities and transmits the video to the owner in real time, so that the owner can watch the pet's activities at any time when he leaves home. In addition, the interaction with pets can be realized by combining the above-mentioned feeding device 100 and throwing device 200 with the real-time images of the camera. This will be explained below.

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 dispensing system of FIG. 1 . Please refer to FIG. 8 , first, in step 310 , the owner remotely controls and turns on the camera to watch the pet's activities in real time. In step 320, the system asks the owner whether to enable the interactive mode for interacting with the pet. If the choice is No, proceed to step 330, the camera continues to record the pet's activities, but the owner only watches the real-time video and does not interact with the pet. If the choice is yes, proceed to step 340, the owner not only watches the real-time video, but also interacts with the pet.

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, step 350 is performed. The owner can select an area where the object T is to be thrown based on the position of the pet, and the control module controls the camera to align the selected area and adjust the focus. In this embodiment, the rotation module 240 is disposed at the bottom of the object distribution system 10 to rotate the entire object distribution system 10 , that is to say, the rotation module 240 can simultaneously adjust the direction of the throwing port 212 and the shooting direction of the camera.

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 step 360, when the camera zooms in (step 361), it means that the distance between the pet and the object distribution system 10 is less than a predetermined distance, and the control module outputs an instruction to make the wheel 220 throw the object T at a slower speed ( Step 362 ), that is to say, the object T is thrown with a relatively small throwing force, so as to have a relatively small throwing distance. When the camera fixes the lens without adjusting the focus (step 363), it means that the distance between the pet and the object distribution system 10 is approximately equal to the predetermined distance, and the control module outputs an instruction to make the runner 220 throw the object T at a normal speed (step 364) . When the camera zooms out (step 365), it means that the distance between the pet and the object distribution system 10 is greater than the predetermined distance, and the control module outputs an instruction to make the runner 220 throw the object T at a faster speed (step 366), that is, Said that the object T is thrown with a larger throwing force, and a larger throwing distance can be obtained.

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 feeding device 100 sequentially outputs the objects T to the throwing device 200 one by one, according to the instruction of the control module, the runner 220 of the throwing device 200 throws the objects T at different speeds. Thereby, the throwing trajectory of the object T can be stably controlled, the object T can be accurately thrown to the pet, and thus a good interaction between the owner and the pet can be realized.

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 feeding device 100 and the throwing device 200 of the object distributing system 10 can automatically throw the objects T at regular intervals without remote instructions from the owner, so as to feed at regular intervals. Moreover, the object distribution system 10 can detect whether the pet is moving within a certain range, and if no pet is found within a certain period of time, it will actively notify the owner. In addition, the object distribution system 10 can identify the physical condition of the pet through its image. If the system determines that the pet is hungry, it will actively notify the owner and let the owner choose whether to feed it.

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 object distributing system 10 further includes a microphone (not shown), and the owner can record in advance or directly connect to the phone to interact with the pet by voice. Alternatively, the object distributing system 10 can automatically play the recording, and actively record the pet's reaction to the owner. The owner can choose whether to throw objects T to reward the pet according to the performance of the pet.

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。To sum up, in the feeding device of the present invention, the concave portion of the rotating member faces the first space for storing objects as the rotating member rotates, and the opening of the partition is staggered from the first space. In this way, when the concave portion of the rotating member is rotated 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 is rotated to a position opposite to the opening of the partition, the object in the concave portion is suitable for through the bulkhead opening. Thereby, the rotating member can deliver the objects to the opening of the partition in sequence, 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 housing are suitable for being thrown out from the throwing port in sequence. Thereby, the throwing device can be suitable for throwing objects of any shape that can pass through the opening of the partition and enter the accommodation formed between multiple blades, and can throw such objects in sequence, so as to realize the stability of such objects throw.
