[0062] The limiting structure includes a beveled tooth 34 arranged on the inner side of the slide rail 40, and a beveled bar 37 is meshed and connected on the surface of the beveled tooth 34. The beveled bar 37 is arranged at one end of a slider 38, and a pulley 36 is also arranged on the surface of one end of the slider 38 provided with the beveled bar 37 to facilitate the sliding of the slider 38.
[0063] In another embodiment provided by the present invention: the measuring structure is arranged between the protective pocket 1 and the urine storage bag 7, and the measuring structure is fixed in the protective pocket 1, and the urine flow rate of the dog is detected by the dynamic urine flow rate detection system arranged inside;
[0064] A weighing host 9 is provided in the measuring structure, and the weighing host 9 includes a control panel, a lithium battery and a WIFI smart device. A urination tube 11, a weighing hook 14 and a flow sensor are also provided in the measuring structure. The weighing host 9 is installed in the protective pocket 1, and the weighing host 9 and the flow sensor are electrically connected. The urine storage bag 7 is detachably connected to the weighing host 9 through the weighing hook 14.
[0065] In another embodiment provided by the present invention: the protective pocket 1 is fixed on the body of a male dog through a binding structure to achieve 24-hour uninterrupted detection of the male dog's urine flow rate;
[0066] The binding structure includes straps 2 arranged at the four corners of the protective bag 1 for fixing the protective bag 1 on the male dog, and the straps 2 are provided with structures such as Velcro or fixing buckles for fixing the straps 2, so that the protective bag 1 is fixed by the straps 2.
[0067] In another embodiment provided by the present invention: the two ends of the rack 18 are connected to the lever 6 through the rotating shaft 19, and the rack 18 is meshed with the tooth grooves 20 set on both sides of the surface of the adjusting dial 23, and the adjusting dial 23 rotates in an arc motion trajectory. When the two ends of the rack 18 rotate, the two groups of levers 6 are connected, and when the meshing movement between the rack 18 and the tooth groove 20 is realized, the rack 18 can be rotated to fit and rotate with the tooth groove 20.
[0068] In another embodiment provided by the present invention: the adjusting dial 23 and the urinary catheter connecting ring 13 can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, and the bearing 30 connected between the adjusting dial 23 and the urinary catheter connecting ring 13 has a self-resetting function to achieve sealing under normal conditions.
[0069] In another embodiment of the present invention, in the continuous dynamic male dog urine flow rate measuring device provided by the present invention, the position where the torsion spring rotating rod 28 is installed on the lever 6 is close to one end of the lever 6 connected to the extrusion plate 25, so as to move the rotation center of the lever 6 away from the rack 18, so that one end of the lever 6 only needs to be displaced a small distance to drive the other end to achieve a larger distance of displacement.
[0070] A capacity scale 8 is provided on the surface of the urine storage bag 7 to visually display the amount of urine in the urine storage bag 7 , and a label 10 for clearly indicating information such as a label number is also provided on the urine storage bag 7 .
[0071] After the protective bag 1 is covered from the belly of the male dog, and the male dog's genitals are inserted into the penis access sleeve 24, the protective bag 1 is fixed to the male dog with the strap 2, and then the measuring equipment such as the weighing host 9 is started. During the daily exercise of the male dog, when the dog is active, the swing of the hind legs will generally be forward and backward, and the swing amplitude of the left and right will be very small. Therefore, when the hind legs swing backward, the drawstring 4 will be pulled outward, and the drawstring 4 will drive the winding roller 29 to rotate, so that the drawstring 4 wound on the surface of the winding roller 29 will be released outward. At the same time, the rotation of the winding roller 29 will roll the fixed belt 31 connected to the other end onto the surface of the winding roller 29 as the winding roller 29 rotates, so that the cross plate 32 is pulled by the fixed belt 31, and the cross plate 32 is slid along the slide rail 40 inside and outside the folding groove 12. At the same time, the cross bar The inclined strips 37 arranged on the outer sides of the sliders 38 at both ends will mesh with the inclined teeth 34 arranged on the inner sides of the slide rails 40, thereby fixing the position of the cross plate 32. During the daily walking process of the dog, the hind legs alternately pull the drawstring 4, thereby pulling the cross plate 32 alternately to the left and right. When the dog is running, the hind legs move synchronously, so the cross plate 32 will be pulled synchronously to move, so that the protective cloth 33 connected to the cross plate 32 will close the surface of the folding groove 12 along with the movement of the cross plate 32, thereby protecting the urine storage bag 7 installed in the folding groove 12, and after the cross plate 32 moves to a certain position, it will be limited by the inclined teeth 34 and the inclined strips 37 and will not be reset in the slide rail 40. Instead, as the movement range of the dog's hind legs increases, the cross plate 32 will be pulled in the closing direction for a greater distance for better protection.
[0072] When the dog is urinating, since the dog generally lifts its hind legs outward when urinating, the drawstring 4 is pulled and squeezed outward when the dog's hind legs are lifted, and the drawstring 4 squeezes the squeezing plate 25 in the fixed box 5 outward, and the squeezing plate 25 drives one end of the lever 6 to lift outward, and the lever 6 drives the other end inserted in the protective bag 1 to move inward through the torsion spring rotating rod 28, thereby driving the rack 18 connected by the rotating shaft 19 to move in the direction of the other leg that is not lifted and upright, so that the engagement between the rack 18 and the tooth groove 20 drives the rotation of the adjusting dial 23, so that the connecting hole 22 opened in the adjusting dial 23 is connected with the flow hole 16 opened in the urinary catheter connecting ring 13, so that the dog can urinate. The urine flows through the urination tube 11 through the connecting hole 22 and the circulation hole 16 and is discharged into the urine storage bag 7. After the dog finishes urinating and puts down its legs, the drawstring 4 loses the squeezing of the squeezing plate 25. At this time, the torsion spring rotating rod 28 is reset and rotated to reset the lever 6, thereby driving the adjustment dial 23 to reset through the rack 18, and the bearing 30 in the urinary tube connecting ring 13 of the adjustment dial 23 is also self-rotated and reset, thereby misaligning the connecting hole 22 and the circulation hole 16, realizing the closure of the urination channel and preventing urine from leaking out. The drawstrings 4 connected to the two sets of rings 3 can all drive the rotation of the adjustment dial 23. Therefore, when the male dog urinates, no matter which hind leg is lifted, the urination channel can be opened for urination.
[0073] During the urination process of the dog, after the penis access sleeve 24 is fixed on the dog's genitals, the flow rate and other information of the urine discharged through the urine inlet 15 are detected by the flow sensor, and the urine flow signal can be converted into urine flow rate in real time.
