[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] This invention provides a voice-controlled, multi-level anti-animal-bite smart collar, comprising a protective mechanism on the outer surface of the collar body 1, the protective mechanism including a locking device 2, and made of a flexible and durable material with an adjustable length structure for wearing around an animal's neck. The collar body 1 has a cord 12 inside, the locking device 2 has a voice pickup hole 4 inside, a power indicator light 9 inside, and a switch 10 inside. The outer surface of the collar body 1 has a buckle 13. A voice recognition control module and a remote control module 5 are disposed within the locking device 2. This module only recognizes specific voice commands pre-set by the administrator or their authorized personnel and controls the corresponding actions of the locking device 2 based on the recognition results. Locking device 2 is installed on the base of collar body 1. Locking device 2 includes a power source, such as a micro motor; a transmission mechanism connected to the power source. The transmission mechanism includes a rotating column 14. A rope 12 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating column 14. The rotating column 14 is rotatably embedded in the inside of locking device 2. The pressure sensor 11 is installed inside the collar body 1 to monitor the pressure applied to the animal's neck in real time and feed the data back to the control unit. When the pressure exceeds the safety threshold, the control unit automatically adjusts the locking force to ensure the animal's safety. The power supply module is electrically connected to the voice recognition control module, the remote control module 5, and the locking device 2, providing them with power and supporting wired charging or wireless charging modes. The emergency unlock button 3 is located on the outside of the locking device 2 in an easily accessible position; It includes an optional backup power supply 7, which automatically starts when the power module 6's power level is below a set threshold, enabling the collar body 1 to complete an emergency unlocking operation. If the backup power supply 7 is not set, the power module 6 uses a larger capacity battery or a more efficient power management system.

[0020] It also includes an optional remote control module, which communicates with the control module and can communicate with external smart terminals via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or mobile networks to achieve remote status monitoring and control operations.

[0021] The voice recognition control module and remote control module 5 consist of a voice acquisition unit, a voice signal processing unit, and an instruction execution control unit. The voice acquisition unit acquires external voice signals, the voice signal processing unit performs preprocessing, feature extraction, and template matching recognition, and the instruction execution control unit sends control instructions to the locking device 2 according to the recognition results.

[0022] The locking device 2 has three locking states: Level 1 is light locking, which is used to slightly tighten the collar body 1 when the animal shows slight signs of aggression; Level 2 is medium locking, which tightens further when the animal's aggression increases; and Level 3 is strong locking, which is used to forcefully tighten when the animal is about to bite or has already bitten. The switching between each level is controlled by different voice commands from the voice recognition control module and the remote control module 5.

[0023] Pressure sensor 11 continuously monitors the pressure of collar body 1 on the animal's neck to prevent excessive pressure from harming the animal.

[0024] The charging port 8 of the collar body 1 is designed to be waterproof and dustproof. The emergency unlock button 3 is located on the base of the collar body 1, which is easy to operate quickly in an emergency. The emergency unlock button 3 and the unlocking mechanism of the collar body 1 are reliably linked through mechanical or electronic connection.

[0025] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the collar body 1 is worn on the animal's neck and is made of a flexible and durable material to ensure the animal's comfort. The length of the collar body 1 can be adjusted by buckle 13, which can be flexibly adjusted according to the neck size of animals of different sizes to ensure a secure fit.

[0026] The voice recognition control module is integrated inside the collar body 1 and is equipped with a high-sensitivity microphone that can accurately collect external sound signals. This module uses an advanced voice recognition algorithm to recognize specific voice commands preset by the administrator, such as "lock, strength 1", "lock, strength 2", "lock, strength 3", "unlock", etc. To improve the accuracy and security of voice recognition, the module supports personalized settings of voice commands. Only when the correct preset voice command is input will the collar body 1 perform the corresponding operation to avoid accidental operation by others. The command execution control unit sends control commands to the locking device 2 according to the recognition result.

[0027] The multi-stage locking device 2 is a mechanical transmission locking structure, consisting of a power source and a transmission mechanism. The power source is a micro motor, and the transmission mechanism tightens the rope 12 and the collar body 1 by winding the rope 12 around the rotating column 14 and driving the rope 12 to tighten through the transmission of the rotating column 14. The multi-level locking device 2 is installed on the collar body 1 and is the core component for achieving the anti-bite function. It has at least three different levels of locking strength: Level 1 Locking: When an animal shows slight signs of biting, such as growling or baring its teeth, the manager issues the voice command "Lock, Intensity 1". The actuator tightens the main body of the collar with a small force, which has a slight restraining and warning effect on the animal, reminding the animal to stop the dangerous behavior. Level 2 locking: If the animal's aggression increases and it exhibits more serious biting tendencies such as pouncing and biting, the manager issues the command "lock, intensity 2", and the actuator increases the tightening force to restrict the animal's range of movement and biting force, effectively preventing biting behavior; Level 3 locking: In an emergency where the animal has already started biting, the manager issues the command "lock, intensity 3", and the actuator tightens the collar body 1 with maximum force, forcing the animal to release its grip due to obstructed breathing, thus quickly stopping the biting behavior.

[0028] Pressure sensor 11 is installed inside the collar body 1 to monitor the pressure applied to the animal's neck in real time. When the pressure exceeds the safety threshold, pressure sensor 11 transmits a signal to the control unit in the voice recognition control module, which controls the locking mechanism 2 to appropriately loosen the collar body 1 to ensure the animal's safety.

[0029] The power module 6 uses a high-capacity rechargeable battery to provide stable power support for the collar body 1. The collar body 1 supports wired or wireless charging. The charging interface 8 is waterproof and dustproof. The power module 6 has a low power alarm function. When the power is lower than the set threshold, the collar body 1 will remind the user to charge in time by flashing the power indicator light 9 or emitting a prompt sound to ensure that the collar body 1 works normally.

[0030] The safety protection component, the emergency unlock button 3, is located on the outside of the collar body 1, making it easy for users to quickly find and operate in an emergency. Once the emergency unlock button 3 is pressed, the collar body 1 will immediately be released from the locked state, ensuring that the animal can quickly resume normal breathing and activity, and protecting the animal's life safety. The emergency unlock button 3 is linked to the locking device of the collar 2 to ensure that the collar body 1 can be quickly and effectively unlocked in an emergency.

[0031] Backup power supply 7 (optional) uses a rechargeable battery. When equipped with backup power supply 7, it will automatically start when the main power supply is depleted, enabling the collar body 1 to complete emergency unlocking operations. This prevents the collar body 1 from being unable to unlock due to power failure, thus avoiding dangerous situations such as animal suffocation. This further improves the safety and reliability of the collar body 1. If backup power supply 7 is not selected, the main power supply will be optimized by using a larger capacity battery or a more efficient power management system to ensure that the main power supply can meet the needs of the collar for long-term stable operation under normal conditions.

[0032] Remote control module (optional): If this module is set up, it communicates with the control module and can communicate with external smart terminals via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or mobile networks to achieve remote status monitoring and control. Users can use smart terminals such as mobile apps to view information such as collar battery level, current locking status, and animal physiological data (if equipped with a biological monitoring module) in real time. They can also remotely send locking or unlocking commands, allowing users to monitor and control the collar's usage anytime, anywhere. For example, when users cannot arrive at the scene in time, they can operate the collar through the remote control function to stop the animal from biting. If the remote control module is not selected, the collar will only rely on on-site voice commands to perform functions.

[0033] Working principle: Users adjust the length of the collar body 1 according to the neck size of the animal they are raising, and comfortably and securely wear the collar around the animal's neck. Through the accompanying mobile application or dedicated setup device, users can access the voice command settings interface to customize the voice commands, such as setting "Lock, Strength 1" to "Warning," "Lock, Strength 2" to "Stop," and "Lock, Strength 3" to "Emergency," etc., and inputting the commands into the voice recognition module's command library. Simultaneously, users can set voice command encryption methods, such as password, fingerprint recognition, or facial recognition verification, to enhance the security of the voice commands. If remote control functionality is selected... After completing the voice command setup, the remote control module is paired and configured on the mobile app, such as setting connectable devices and control permissions. If the backup power supply 7 is selected, the user needs to understand its working mechanism, such as the switching conditions between the main power supply and backup power supply 7, and the charging method and time of backup power supply 7. If backup power supply 7 is not selected, the user needs to know the main power supply's battery life and charging requirements to arrange charging time reasonably and ensure the collar functions properly. When the animal shows slight signs of biting, such as growling or baring its teeth, the administrator issues a preset voice command, "Lock, Intensity 1" (e.g., "Warning"). After the microphone collects the sound signal, it transmits it to the voice recognition module. The voice recognition control module preprocesses the signal, extracts features, and performs template matching and recognition. If the matching is successful, it sends a first-level locking command to the graded locking device 2. The actuator tightens the collar with a small force to warn the animal. If the animal's aggression increases and it bites, the manager issues a "lock, intensity 2" command (e.g., "stop"), and the voice recognition module recognizes the command according to the process and controls the actuator to increase the tightening force, restricting the animal's movement and biting. When the animal bites, the manager issues a "lock, intensity 3" command (e.g., "emergency"), and the device is activated. The mechanism tightens the rope 12 inside the collar with maximum force, causing the animal to loosen its grip due to breathing obstruction. Throughout the process, the pressure sensor 11 continuously monitors the pressure of the collar body 1 on the animal's neck and feeds the data back to the control unit. When the pressure exceeds the safety threshold, the control unit automatically adjusts the locking force to ensure the animal's safety. When the collar's battery level is lower than the set threshold, the low battery alarm function of the power module 6 is activated, and the user is reminded to charge via the power indicator light 9. The user can choose wired or wireless charging. When wired charging, the waterproof and dustproof charging cable is inserted into the charging interface 8 to connect to the power source. When wirelessly charging, the collar body 1 is placed on the wireless charging device.In emergency situations, such as when an animal experiences difficulty breathing or other conditions requiring immediate release of the collar's locking mechanism, regardless of the collar's selected functional module combination, the user can directly press the emergency unlock button 3 on the outside of the collar. Pressing the button will immediately release the collar, ensuring the animal's safety. If a backup power supply 7 is provided, it will automatically activate when the main power supply is depleted, allowing the user to complete the emergency unlocking operation. After completing the emergency operation, the user should promptly recharge the collar to restore its normal functionality.
