Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of locators, specifically a method and device for securing a pet locator. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, as pets have become important members of more and more families, people are paying increasing attention to their safety and health. However, incidents of pets getting lost or wandering off occur frequently, causing great distress and worry to pet owners. To address this issue, pet tracking devices have emerged. However, these devices are typically installed around the pet's neck or chest, which presents problems such as instability and the risk of them falling off.

[0003] Publication number: CN212111808U, publication date: 2020.12.08, relates to a multi-functional pet locator, including a restraint strap, a locator, a buckle and a buckle groove. The locator is movably connected to the center of the front of the restraint strap, the buckle is sewn to the lower right side of the restraint strap, and the buckle groove is sewn to the upper right side of the buckle. By using a collar-type locator design, the movement of the pet can be monitored.

[0004] However, existing pet trackers still suffer from problems such as insecure fastening and easy detachment due to pet movement. During use, pets often struggle to break free due to insufficient comfort, causing the tracker to fall and become ineffective. Furthermore, in cases where a pet is lost due to human error, it is difficult to effectively locate the pet. Therefore, this invention proposes a pet tracker fastening method and device. By using an automated tracker fastening device to assist in fastening the pet tracker, the discomfort and easy detachment caused by the installation are improved. The strap automatically tightens to a secure position, increasing the stability of the pet tracker installation. Moreover, by using the pet tracker fastening device in conjunction with command training for the pet, automated tracker installation can be achieved, increasing the portability and practicality of the tracker installation. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problems in the prior art, this invention provides a method and device for securing a pet locator. By using the securing device to precisely secure the locator, the stability of the pet locator installation is improved. This method also increases the comfort and portability of the pet wearing the locator.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a method for attaching a pet locator, comprising:

[0007] S1: The pet stands on the locator restraint device, and its front legs press on the first pressure sensor and the second pressure sensor on the base respectively, activating the locator restraint device.

[0008] S2: The robotic arm of the locator binding device tightens the two ends of the strap of the pet locator, moves the pet locator upward to fit the front chest of the pet, and presses the strap fixing buckle to fix the pet locator around the pet's body to its back.

[0009] S3: The robotic arm tightens the straps. When the pressure signal received by the rope pressure intelligent control sensor of the locator binding device reaches the preset value, the robotic arm stops tightening the straps.

[0010] S4: The robotic arm releases the binding and returns to its original position.

[0011] Preferably, the rope pressure intelligent control sensor of S3 is set on the robotic arm gripper, and its preset value can be modified by the terminal to adapt to the pet's body size, thus avoiding excessive pressure on the pet during the binding process and ensuring the comfort and safety of the pet locator binding.

[0012] Preferably, when the rope pressure intelligent control sensor of S3 receives abnormally high pressure, it automatically releases the strap to prevent the pet locator from harming the pet.

[0013] Preferably, the pet locator binding device is connected to a user terminal. When the robotic arm tightens the binding strap, the user terminal displays the pressure value between the pet locator and the pet in real time, allowing the user to monitor the binding process at any time and ensure the pet's comfort and safety.

[0014] The present invention also proposes a locator binding device for automatically binding a pet locator, characterized in that it comprises:

[0015] The base is equipped with a first pressure sensor and a second pressure sensor to detect the pressure on the pet's front legs and use it as an activation signal for the locator binding device.

[0016] A robotic arm is used to operate the fixing straps to ensure the safety and accuracy of the binding position during the pet locator binding process through automation.

[0017] The main controller is used to control the robotic arm to attach the pet locator. The main controller can receive signals from sensors and control the robotic arm according to the signal type.

[0018] Preferably, each robotic arm is equipped with an independent sub-controller, which is independently controlled by the main controller, thereby increasing the flexibility of the robotic arm and facilitating accurate control of the pet locator strap.

[0019] Preferably, the locator binding device is equipped with an anti-slip pad, which is located on the upper surface of the base to ensure that the pet remains stable during the pet locator binding process and to avoid the locator binding position shifting due to slippage.

[0020] Preferably, the robotic arm is a folding robotic arm. When the robotic arm is folded, the size of the pet locator is reduced, making it easier to carry and store, and increasing the portability and practicality of the locator binding device.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0022] (1) Improved the automation and convenience of pet locator binding. The automatic binding of pet locators was achieved by using a locator binding device, making the pet locator binding process simpler and more convenient.

[0023] (2) It is safe. This locator and restraint device uses a pressure sensor to monitor the pressure during the restraint process, which can ensure that the straps are properly secured and avoid causing excessive pressure or discomfort to the pet. In addition, when abnormally high pressure is detected, the device will automatically release the straps, further reducing the potential harm to the pet.

[0024] (3) Highly practical: By setting the preset value of the rope pressure control sensor, it can be adjusted according to the size and shape of different pets, making the device suitable for various types of pets and increasing the universal applicability of the locator restraint device. In addition, the foldable robotic arm makes the device more stable and easier to carry, increasing its reliability and applicability in different environments.

[0025] (4) The stability of the pet locator binding is increased. Using the pet locator binding method of the present invention, the pet locator can be firmly bound to the pet. The length and tightness of the straps can be automatically adjusted by the robotic arm, which increases the stability of the pet locator binding. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. It should be noted that the embodiments described herein are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the following embodiments, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] The first embodiment of the present invention proposes a method for attaching a pet locator, such as... Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes:

[0032] S1: When the pet stands on the locator restraint device, the locator restraint device is activated when its front legs press the first pressure sensor 101 and the second pressure sensor 102 on the base 1 respectively.

[0033] S2: The robotic arm 2 of the locator binding device tightens the two ends of the strap of the pet locator, moves the pet locator upward to fit the front chest of the pet, and presses the strap fixing buckle to fix the pet locator around the pet's body to its back.

[0034] S3: The robotic arm 2 tightens the strap. When the pressure signal received by the rope pressure intelligent control sensor 3 of the locator binding device does not reach the preset value, the strap continues to tighten. When the pressure signal received by the rope pressure intelligent control sensor 3 of the locator binding device reaches the preset value, the robotic arm 2 stops tightening the strap.

[0035] S4: Robotic arm 2 releases the binding and returns to its original position.

[0036] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, when the first pressure sensor 101 and the second pressure sensor 102 of the locator binding device respectively collect pressure signals from the two front legs of the pet, they send the signals to the main controller. The main controller determines whether the pressure signal meets the preset pressure value of the locator binding device. If it does, the locator binding device is activated and the device begins to automatically bind the pet locator.

[0037] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, after the locator binding device is activated, the robotic arm 2 automatically tightens the pet locator strap and fastens it to the pet's back. When the robotic arm 2 fastens the pet locator to the fastener on the pet's back, the main controller sends a control signal to the sub-controller of the robotic arm 2, which gradually tightens the pet locator strap to fix the pet locator to the pet's body.

[0038] like Figure 1-3As shown in this embodiment, a rope pressure intelligent control sensor is provided on the inner wall of the middle part of the pet locator. The rope pressure intelligent control sensor 3 collects the pressure value between the pet locator and the pet's body and compares it with a preset pressure value to determine whether the locator's binding degree is within the preset safety range. If the value collected by the rope pressure intelligent control sensor 3 during the pet locator binding process far exceeds the preset safety pressure value, the locator binding device enters an emergency warning state and the locator binding device stops operating. If the data collected by the rope pressure intelligent control sensor 3 during the pet locator binding process is within the safety range, the locator binding device works normally. If the data exceeds the preset safety pressure value, the main controller controls the robotic arm 2 to stop the strap retraction. After the strap is released, the robotic arm 2 returns to its original position.

[0039] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the rope pressure intelligent control sensor of S3 is set on the robotic arm gripper. Its preset value can be modified through the terminal to adapt to the pet's body size. Depending on the pet's body size, the pressure that the pet's body can accept is different. Therefore, the pressure range for firmly fixing the pet locator while ensuring the pet's comfort is also different. Thus, by modifying the preset pressure value, it is possible to avoid the pet being subjected to excessive pressure during the binding process, ensuring the comfort and safety of the pet locator binding.

[0040] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the locator binding device is equipped with a safety avoidance mechanism. When the rope pressure intelligent control sensor of S3 receives abnormally high pressure, it automatically releases the binding strap to prevent the pet locator from harming the pet. When the pressure value collected by the rope pressure intelligent control sensor exceeds the preset value by more than 1.3 times within a short period of time, the main controller sends an unbinding command, and the robotic arm 2 presses the fixing buckle to unbind the pet locator. This avoids the risk of suffocation caused by the binding strap tightening and squeezing the pet when the binding device malfunctions.

[0041] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the pet locator binding device is connected to the user terminal. When the robotic arm 2 tightens the binding strap, the user terminal displays the pressure value between the pet locator and the pet in real time, allowing the user to monitor the binding process at any time and ensure the pet's comfort and safety.

[0042] The second embodiment of the present invention also proposes a locator binding device for automatically binding a pet locator, applicable to the above-mentioned pet locator binding method, and its structure is as follows: Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes:

[0043] The base 1 is equipped with a first pressure sensor 101 and a second pressure sensor 102 to detect the pressure on the pet's front legs and use it as an activation signal for the locator restraint device. The first pressure sensor 101 and the second pressure sensor 102 are located on the base 1. When the pet stands on the locator restraint device, the two pressure sensors acquire pressure signals. The main controller analyzes the pressure values ​​of the pressure signals and activates the locator restraint device when the pressure value reaches the threshold.

[0044] Robotic arms 2 are used to operate the fixing straps, ensuring the safety and accuracy of the pet locator binding process through automation. In this embodiment, two robotic arms 2 are selected and respectively set on the left and right sides of the locator binding device base 1. They are arm-like mechanical devices controlled by a controller and capable of precisely operating the pet locator straps. The ends of the robotic arms 2 are equipped with clamps that can hold the straps. The two robotic arms 2 are directly controlled by a first sub-controller and a second sub-controller, respectively. The first and second sub-controllers are controlled by signals from the main controller, thereby tightening, retracting, and untying the straps.

[0045] The main controller is used to control the robotic arm 2 to attach the pet locator. The main controller can receive signals from the sensors and control the robotic arm 2 according to the signal type.

[0046] like Figure 1-3 As shown in this embodiment, each robotic arm 2 is equipped with an independent sub-controller, which is independently controlled by the main controller, thereby increasing the flexibility of the robotic arm 2 and facilitating accurate control of the straps of the pet locator by the robotic arm 2.

[0047] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the locator binding device is equipped with an anti-slip pad, which is located on the upper surface of the base 1 to ensure that the pet remains stable during the pet locator binding process and to avoid the locator binding position shifting due to slippage.

[0048] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the robotic arm 2 is a folding robotic arm 2. The robotic arm 2 can be folded inward, thus reducing the size of the pet locator when the robotic arm 2 is folded, making it easier to carry and store, and increasing the portability and practicality of the locator binding device.

[0049] like Figure 1-3As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a method and device for binding a pet locator. By using the device, the pet locator is automatically bound, which improves the automation and convenience of binding the pet locator. It also has the advantages of high security, strong practicality, and increased stability of binding the pet locator.

[0050] The foregoing has illustrated and described the basic features, principles, and advantages of the present invention. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, but only to some embodiments. Any improvements and additions made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention are considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
