Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application usually described and shown in the accompanying drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the present application claimed, but only represents the selected embodiments of the present application.

Embodiment

[0027] Currently, as an important member of personal or family life and a supplement to feelings, more and more people like to keep pets. However, usually due to busy work, they are unable to accompany their pets all day long or for a long time, resulting in the adverse consequences that pets feel lonely and depressed. Therefore, pet toys came into being. There are a wide variety of pet toys on the market at present, but most toys only focus on the toy training function or the beautiful appearance design, lacking the soothing of pets.

[0028] The inventor found during the design process that different animals have different comfort zones for the heart rate state, and the same animal will also have different comfort zones in different situations. For example, there is a certain heart rate state when sleeping at night, and another heart rate state is needed when sick. The heart rate state includes both the duration of a single heartbeat and the frequency of a single heartbeat. Since the existing simulated heartbeat products in the market have a single function and are easy to make pets quickly lose interest during use, the existing product technologies neither have a stepless adjustment scheme for the heart rate frequency nor have a specific working timing adjustment function.

[0029] For another similar application scenario, research has found that the soothing of the heartbeat sound of infants is a method of using a heartbeat sound similar to that heard in the mother's body during the fetal period to help infants feel safe and relaxed. And the difference in the soothing effect of different frequencies of heartbeats for different individuals of humans is even more obvious. The existing product technologies also do not have a stepless adjustment scheme for the heart rate frequency.

[0030] In view of this, as Figure 1 - Figure 2As shown, in a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a soothing device, including: a stepless adjustment structure 10 and a soothing structure 20. The stepless adjustment structure 10 is connected to the soothing structure 20, and the stepless adjustment structure 10 can perform stepless adjustment after receiving an operation instruction from a user, so that the soothing structure 20 can vibrate at a corresponding frequency, ultimately realizing the soothing of pets or infants and young children.

[0031] Specifically, the stepless adjustment structure 10 is configured to receive an operation instruction from a user and implement different frequency adjustments of the soothing device according to the user's operation intention; the soothing structure 20 includes a control board 201 and a vibration module 202. The control board 201 is respectively connected to the stepless adjustment structure 10 and the vibration module 202, and is configured to control the vibration module 202 to vibrate, stop vibrating, and change the vibration frequency according to the stepless adjustment signal.

[0032] Exemplarily, the operation instruction of the user can be a mechanical operation instruction, that is, the user manually adjusts (mainly by taking a rotation action) the stepless adjustment structure for mechanical adjustment; the stepless adjustment structure 10 is connected to the control board 201. After the stepless adjustment structure 10 is manually rotated and adjusted by the user, the control board 201 detects that the soothing device is turned on or / and the stepless adjustment structure 10 offsets to different resistance value positions based on the operation instruction of the user. Then, it instructs the vibration module 202 to turn on the vibration or / and vibrate at the working frequency corresponding to the current resistance value position. In this way, the heartbeat frequency can be changed according to the user's needs, and this change is arbitrary (so-called stepless adjustment), not limited to several minority situations in the prior art. Based on different resistance value positions of the stepless adjustment structure 10, the soothing device correspondingly generates different heartbeat frequencies, thereby completing the stepless adjustment of the heartbeat frequency; the control board 201 can also not perform active detection and control actions, but the overall drive circuit directly automatically adjusts the vibration frequency based on the adjustment result of the stepless adjustment structure, thereby realizing a more simplified adjustment circuit.

[0033] It can be understood that the control board 201 at least includes a circuit board, and the vibration module 202 includes but is not limited to a vibration motor.

[0034] In the above implementation process, both the stepless adjustment structure 10 and the vibration module 202 are connected to the control board 201. When the soothing device is used for pets, after the stepless adjustment structure 10 receives an instruction from the user, it converts the instruction into a stepless adjustment signal. The control board 201 detects and processes the stepless adjustment signal, and outputs the detection result to the vibration module 202, so that the vibration module 202 vibrates, adjusts the vibration frequency, or turns off the vibration, etc., to simulate a corresponding frequency, realizes stepless adjustment, effectively soothes the uneasiness of animals, and meets the needs of different individual differences.

[0035] Such as Figure 2As shown, the stepless adjustment structure 10 includes a switch member 101 and a stepless conversion member 102. The switch member 101 is connected to the stepless conversion member 102. The switch member 101 is configured with an operation part. The stepless conversion member 102 is used to convert the action applied by the user on the operation part into a corresponding stepless adjustment signal.

[0036] Exemplarily, the switch member 101 includes but is not limited to an adjustment knob. The stepless conversion member 102 can be a potentiometer, a rotary encoder switch, etc. When work is required, the user can manually rotate the adjustment knob, thereby rotating the potentiometer to different resistance value positions. If a certain rotation angle threshold is exceeded, the control board 201 can detect and interpret it as a power-on signal. The control board 201 can instruct the vibration module 202 to start working at the working frequency corresponding to this resistance value position, generating a heartbeat effect. If the working frequency needs to be adjusted, the user only needs to continue rotating the adjustment knob, thereby generating different vibration frequencies based on the resistance values at different positions, achieving stepless adjustment.

[0037] In some embodiments, the adjustment knob of the switch member 101 can be adjusted in the first or second direction. When the adjustment knob rotates in the first direction, it is used to turn on and / or adjust the vibration frequency of the vibration module 202. When the adjustment knob rotates in the second direction, it is used to turn off and / or adjust the vibration frequency of the vibration module 202, where the first direction is opposite to the second direction.

[0038] Exemplarily, the first direction includes but is not limited to the clockwise rotation direction of the adjustment knob, and the second direction includes but is not limited to the counterclockwise rotation direction. Therefore, when work is required, first rotate the switch member 101 clockwise. After the control board 201 detects the power-on signal, it instructs the vibration module 202 to work at a certain working frequency, generating a heartbeat effect. If the switch member 101 is continued to be rotated clockwise, the control board 201 detects different resistance values generated by the adjustment of the switch member 101, and then instructs to control the vibration module 202 to operate at the corresponding working frequency, so that the heartbeat frequency changes accordingly. Among them, different resistance values correspond to different heartbeat frequencies, and the change of the resistance value is basically continuous, so that the adjustment of the heartbeat frequency can be stepless adjustment; it can be understood that rotating clockwise turns on the soothing device, and the larger the clockwise angle, the higher the corresponding heartbeat frequency, and vice versa. If it is rotated counterclockwise to the starting position, it can be used to turn off the soothing device.

[0039] In some embodiments, the inventor takes into account the rapid development of current wireless technology and the wide popularization of smart homes. The user's adjustment can be either a mechanical instruction (such as directly operating the soothing device by hand) or a communication instruction (such as voice recognition, image recognition, or remote control, etc.).

[0040] Exemplarily, if the user's adjustment needs to control and adjust the soothing device through wireless communication instructions, then the stepless adjustment structure 10 may further include a remote device and a wireless connection module. The user can communicate with the wireless connection module through the remote device. After the wireless connection module receives the specific communication instructions of the user, the control board 201, based on the communication instructions of the user, instructs the vibration module to turn on, turn off, or adjust the vibration to achieve stepless adjustment.

[0041] Exemplarily, the remote device includes terminal hardware, which is a physical device, including a computer, a smart home, a tablet computer, a remote control, or a smart phone, etc. These devices are connected to the soothing structure 20 through the built-in communication interface and corresponding software through a wired or wireless connection module to achieve remote access and control.

[0042] In the process of implementing the above embodiments, if non-mechanical user instructions (such as communication instructions) are involved, then the stepless conversion part 102 is sometimes not necessary, as long as the remote device can emit stepless adjustment instruction signals.

[0043] But sometimes, in order to take into account the needs of different users and considering the general stability of remote communication instruction adjustment, two control schemes of mechanical instructions and communication instructions can be retained in the soothing device, so that both general mechanical contact adjustment and wireless non-contact adjustment can be achieved. In this case, if the user is at home or close to the pet, manual mechanical adjustment can be selected, so that the control board 201 controls the vibration module 202 to perform corresponding actions; if the user is out or far from the pet, remote communication control adjustment can be selected. Such different choices are beneficial for the user to effectively soothe the pet when unable to accompany the pet all day long or for a long time, improving the applicability of the product.

[0044] Exemplarily, it can be known that to receive remote communication instructions, a remote device is sometimes not necessary. For example, a voice or image recognition module can be set in the soothing device to receive the user's voice instructions or remote action instructions and control the adjustment module to adjust the vibration frequency according to the user's intention, without the user approaching the soothing device for manual adjustment or through a specific remote adjustment device for remote adjustment.

[0045] In some embodiments, the stepless adjustment structure 10 may further include a sensing part, which is connected to the control board 201 to collect information and provide corresponding frequency signals to the control board 201, and the stepless conversion part 102 is connected to the control board 201. The sensing part includes but is not limited to sensing devices, such as sensing the heartbeat sound of the pet, etc., and providing corresponding vibration frequencies according to the received pet information.

[0046] Furthermore, a storage device can be provided in the soothing device for pre-storing suitable pet vibration frequency data for quick user access. It can also be used in combination with a sensing device. By collecting and analyzing pet heartbeat data, the heartbeat signal can be filtered and processed to obtain a low-frequency signal. Finally, the heartbeat-like vibration signal in the low-frequency signal is stored. During the process of soothing the pet with the soothing device, the control board 201 can output the heartbeat-like vibration signal to the vibration module 202, causing the vibration module 202 to vibrate at the frequency of the heartbeat.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the soothing device includes an installation housing 30, and the installation housing 30 is configured with a receiving cavity, which is configured to receive the soothing structure 20 and the stepless adjustment structure 10. It can accommodate the soothing structure 20 and the stepless adjustment structure 10, reduce external damage to the structure, and improve the service life of the structure.

[0048] Exemplarily, the installation housing 30 includes an upper housing 301 and a lower housing 302. The upper housing 301 and the lower housing 302 can be fixed by snap-fastening or by bolts, etc. Moreover, the shape of the installation housing 30 can be heart-shaped, circular, etc., and no specific limitation is made here.

[0049] In some embodiments, the soothing device further includes a timing structure 40. The timing structure 40 includes but is not limited to a timing switch. The timing structure 40 is connected to the control board 201, and at least part of the structure of the timing structure 40 is exposed outside the installation housing 30 to facilitate the user to perform timing operations on it.

[0050] During the above implementation process, after the soothing device is turned on, the stepless adjustment structure 10 performs stepless adjustment, causing the control board 201 to control the vibration module 202 to perform corresponding actions, while the timing structure 40 can control the soothing device to work for a fixed duration to achieve the timing function and meet different functional requirements.

[0051] As Figure 2 shown, the soothing device further includes a battery structure 50. The battery structure 50 is connected to the stepless adjustment structure 10 and the soothing structure 20 for providing electrical energy. For example, the battery structure 50 is disposed in the receiving cavity of the installation housing 30. To fix the battery structure 50, a fixing frame can be provided in the receiving cavity. The fixing frame is L-shaped and is distributed at the diagonal positions of the battery structure 50. Of course, in other embodiments, other fixing methods can also be used to fix the battery structure 50; Among them, the battery structure 50 includes but is not limited to a lithium battery, and the battery structure 50 can be rechargeable or a disposable battery.

[0052] In the above implementation process, by connecting the battery structure 50 to the stepless adjustment structure 10 and the soothing structure 20 respectively, the battery structure 50 can be built-in, avoiding frequent replacement and being more environmentally friendly.

[0053] In some embodiments, the soothing device further includes a charging interface 60. The charging interface 60 includes but is not limited to type C. The charging interface 60 is connected to the control board 201, and part of the structure of the charging interface 60 is exposed outside the installation housing 30. It can be used to charge the battery structure 50, avoiding frequent switching and being more environmentally friendly.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the soothing device further includes an indicator light 70. The indicator light 70 is connected to the control board 201, and the indicator light 70 is exposed on the upper housing 301; it can be understood that the indicator light 70 can be used to indicate that the battery structure 50 is out of power or fully charged, etc., and can also be used to indicate relevant vibration modes. The indicator light 70 is used to indicate functions, facilitating the reminder of relevant information to the user and enhancing the functionality of the product.

[0055] Regarding the application scenario description of the above soothing device, the soothing device can be used in cooperation with toys for pets or infants and young children. The toy can be a cloth doll, a pillow, a bed, etc. The connection method can be fixed or detachable, such as snap-fastening, tying, etc., which will not be elaborated here one by one.

[0056] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application can easily think of changes or substitutions, which should all be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
