Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a device for raising pets, and particularly to an animal activity control device. Background Art

[0002] If pets are allowed to move freely, they may run around, get lost, or conflict with people or other pets. Therefore, the current control methods for pet movement are usually cage breeding, penning, or restraint with a leash, and the pets raised can basically not move freely. In fact, pets themselves like less restraint and free movement, which is beneficial to their physical and mental health. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an animal activity control device that can effectively control the activity range and behavior of animals without using a leash.

[0007] The signal receiver 2 is used to be fixed on the animal;

[0008] The airbag sleeve 4 is used to wrap and fix on the animal leg joint;

[0009] For the airbag sleeve 4 wrapped and fixed on the animal leg joint, its inner diameter decreases as the amount of gas in the airbag sleeve increases, increasing the degree of restriction on the movement of the animal leg joint;

[0010] The airbag sleeve 4 is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet;

[0011] The air inlet of the airbag sleeve 4 is connected to the air outlet end of the air pump 3 through an air charging pipeline 5;

[0012] When the signal receiver 2 receives an inflation signal, it sends an inflation control signal to control the air pump 3 to inflate the airbag sleeve 4 through the air charging pipeline 5 and control the air outlet of the airbag sleeve 4 to be closed;

[0013] When the signal receiver 2 receives a deflation signal, it sends a deflation control signal to control the air pump 3 to stop inflating the airbag sleeve 4 and control the air outlet of the airbag sleeve 4 to be opened for deflation.

[0014] Preferably, the air charging pipeline 5 is provided with an inflation valve;

[0015] The signal receiver 2, when receiving an inflation signal, issues an inflation control signal to control the inflation valve to be connected;

[0016] The signal receiver 2, when receiving a deflation signal, issues a deflation control signal to control the inflation valve to be shut off.

[0017] Preferably, the animal activity control device further includes a harness 6;

[0018] The harness 6 is used to be fixed on the trunk of the animal;

[0019] The signal receiver 2 and the air pump 3 are fixed on the harness 6.

[0020] Preferably, the animal is a dog, a cat, a horse, a cow or a donkey.

[0021] Preferably, the controller 1 includes an inflation control switch 11, a deflation control switch 12 and a signal transmitter 13;

[0022] When the inflation control switch 11 is triggered, the signal transmitter 13 wirelessly emits an inflation signal;

[0023] When the deflation control switch 12 is triggered, the signal transmitter 13 wirelessly emits a deflation signal.

[0024] Preferably, when the inflation control switch 11 is triggered, the signal transmitter 13 wirelessly emits an inflation signal containing a set identification code;

[0025] When the deflation control switch 12 is triggered, the signal transmitter 13 wirelessly emits a deflation signal containing a set identification code.

[0026] The signal receiver 2, when receiving an inflation signal containing a set identification code, issues an inflation control signal to control the air pump 3 to inflate the airbag sleeve 4 through the inflation pipeline 5 and control the air outlet of the airbag sleeve 4 to be closed;

[0027] The signal receiver 2, when receiving an inflation signal containing a set identification code, issues a deflation control signal to control the air pump 3 to stop inflating the airbag sleeve 4 and control the air outlet of the airbag sleeve 4 to be opened for deflation.

[0028] Preferably, the controller 1 further includes an alarm;

[0029] The signal receiver 2, when receiving an inflation signal containing a set identification code, issues an inflation control signal to control the air pump 3 to inflate the airbag sleeve 4 through the inflation pipeline 5 and control the air outlet of the airbag sleeve 4 to be closed, and wirelessly emits an identification signal containing a set identification code;

[0030] The signal receiver 2, when receiving an inflation signal containing a set identification code, emits a deflation control signal to control the inflation pump 3 to stop inflating the airbag sleeve 4 and control the air outlet of the airbag sleeve 4 to open for deflation, and wirelessly emits an identification signal containing the set identification code.

[0031] The controller 1, when the inflation control switch 11 is triggered or no identification signal containing the set identification code is received within a set time after the deflation control switch 12 is triggered, controls the alarm to emit an alarm signal.

[0032] Preferably, the alarm is a sound alarm 15 or / and a light alarm 16.

[0033] Preferably, the set time is from 0.1 second to 10 seconds.

[0034] In the animal activity control device of the present invention, the controller 1 can wirelessly emit inflation signals and deflation signals. The signal receiver 2 receives the inflation signals and deflation signals. The intensities of the received inflation signals and deflation signals by the signal receiver 2 decrease as the distance between the signal receiver 2 and the controller 1 increases. If the distance between the signal receiver 2 and the controller 1 is too far and the intensities of the received inflation signals and deflation signals are lower than the threshold value, the signal receiver 2 is equivalent to not receiving the inflation signals and deflation signals, thereby generating a virtual geographic fence. The size of the virtual geographic electronic fence can be adjusted according to the transmission power of the controller 1. When the controller 1 moves, the generated virtual geographic electronic fence follows the movement. After the signal receiver 2 receives an inflation signal or a deflation signal, it emits an inflation control signal to control the inflation pump 3 to inflate the airbag sleeve 4 through the inflation pipeline 5 and control the air outlet of the airbag sleeve 4 to close, or emits a deflation control signal to control the inflation pump 3 to stop inflating the airbag sleeve 4 and control the air outlet of the airbag sleeve 4 to open for deflation, which will restrain or relax the leg joints of the animal. Since the movement of the animal mainly depends on the activities of the leg joints, controlling the activities of the animal leg joints can prohibit or allow the animal to move, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the movement of the animal, and the activity range and activity behavior of the animal can be effectively controlled without a leash.
