Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of dog training equipment, in particular to a dog training clicker device. Background Art

[0002] The clicker is an animal training tool. By pressing the soundboard, the sound produced replaces the command to give positive feedback to the animal's behavior. It can be pressed once or continuously. For example, in order to help police dogs develop good behavior habits, trainers use clickers to assist in training the dogs. By pressing the clicker, the clicker will make a clicking sound. The clicking sound serves as a bridge between behavior and reward, marking the behavior of the police dog and gradually forming a natural reflex response.

[0003] The principle of clicker training is as follows: In the initial training, when the dog completes a certain action or exhibits a certain behavior according to the command, the trainer presses the clicker in time and gives the dog food or object stimulation, and the cycle repeats. Every time the dog hears the clicker, it will be very excited, because it will be followed by food or object rewards. The longer the training time, the more excited the dog is to the sound of the clicker, and the more focused it is in the process of waiting for the reward. During these trainings, the owner's reward commands will become less and less, and will gradually be replaced by clickers.

[0004] For example, Chinese patent document CN117337785A discloses a dog training clicker. The dog training clicker causes an elastic clicker in a first structural member to produce elastic deformation by pressing a floating button, so that the elastic clicker emits a sound prompt. When the pet dog performs a correct action, the trainer can accurately and timely mark the action by using the dog training clicker to emit a sound prompt. At the same time, the trainer can slide the first structural member and take out the snacks stored in the second accommodation space of the second structural member to provide the pet dog with a follow-up reward for performing the correct action.

[0005] However, in actual use, the above-mentioned dog training clicker has the problem of too short operating distance. Especially when the dog performs a search training task, the clicker is pressed in the hands of the trainer to form a sound. The sound propagation distance is limited, and the dog sometimes has difficulty paying attention to the sound of the clicker in time. In addition, when multiple dogs are trained at the same time in the training field, the sound of multiple clickers will cause serious interference to the dogs, making it difficult to maintain normal training. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a training tool for dogs during training, so as to solve the problem that the sound signal of the clicker cannot be transmitted to the dog's nervous system in time due to some complex environmental sound stimulation and graphic stimulation, thereby improving the efficiency of dog training and enhancing the training effect.

[0007] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model proposes the following solutions:

[0013] Preferably, the cam plate is an elliptical plate. With such a configuration, the symmetrical structure of the elliptical plate is conducive to soothing the dog by squeezing the flexible layer through the cam plate while the power motor drives the cam plate to trigger the sounding spring to make a sound, thereby ensuring the consistency of the positive feedback of the sounding spring and the encouragement of soothing.

[0014] Preferably, the sound-generating spring is an arc-shaped metal sheet.

[0015] Preferably, the power motor is a steering gear. With such arrangement, the programmability of the steering gear is utilized, so that the trainer can adjust the sound command in time according to the training content by controlling the speed, acceleration and position of the steering gear, thereby greatly improving the richness of the sound command.

[0016] Preferably, a sound transmission hole is provided on the sound transmission end surface. In this way, the sound transmission hole is used to better transmit the sound emitted by the sound-generating spring in the cavity, which is conducive to ensuring the consistency with the sound emitted by the traditional sounder.

[0017] Preferably, a connecting buckle is arranged on the side wall of the housing. With such arrangement, the connecting buckle is used to facilitate wearing the housing on the dog, which is conducive to reducing the difficulty of wearing the housing.

[0027] The specific implementation of the utility model is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a dog training clicker device proposed in an embodiment of the utility model is intended to solve the problem that the clicker sound signal cannot be transmitted to the dog's nervous system in time due to certain complex environmental sound stimulation and graphic stimulation during the dog training process, thereby improving the dog training efficiency and enhancing the training effect.

[0029] A dog training clicker device proposed in the embodiment of the utility model allows the sounding structure 2 and the trigger mechanism 3 to be worn on the dog through the shell 1, so that the sound emitted by the sounding spring 22 is closer to the dog. On the one hand, it solves the problem of the short operating distance of the traditional clicker structure. On the other hand, it greatly reduces the interference of certain complex environmental sound stimulation and graphic stimulation on the dog, especially in the case of collaborative training of multiple dogs, ensuring that the sound is accurately transmitted to the dog's nervous system, thereby ensuring the dog's training concentration and improving the training effect. At the same time, the action of the trainer triggering the clicker to make a sound is more concealed, which effectively improves the dog training technology level.

[0030] like Figure 1 Combination Figure 4 As shown, a dog training clicker device comprises a housing 1 for wearing on a dog, a sound-generating structure 2 and a trigger mechanism 3. A placement cavity 4 is provided inside the housing 1. A sound-transmitting end surface 5 is provided on one side of the placement cavity 4.

[0031] like Figure 2 Combination Figure 4 As shown, the sound-generating structure 2 includes a bracket 21 and a sound-generating spring 22. The bracket 21 is installed in the placement cavity 4. The sound-generating spring 22 is installed between a pair of brackets 21. The sound-generating spring 22 is directly opposite to the sound-transmitting end surface 5. For example, the sound-generating spring 22 is an arc-shaped metal sheet. The arc-shaped metal sheet emits a rattling sound through deformation.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, the trigger mechanism 3 is located in the placement chamber 4. The trigger mechanism 3 includes a power motor 31 and a cam plate 32. The power motor 31 is installed inside the housing 1. The cam plate 32 is installed on the output shaft of the power motor 31. The side wall of the cam plate 32 hits the sound-generating spring 22 to form a pressing sound.

[0033] The power motor 31 drives the cam plate 32 to rotate. As the cam plate 32 rotates, its side wall contacts and presses the sound-generating spring piece 22. This action produces a rattling sound as positive feedback to mark the correct behavior of the dog.

[0034] For example, the power motor 31 is preferably a steering gear. In this way, the programmability of the steering gear is utilized to facilitate the training personnel to adjust the sound command in time according to the training content by controlling the speed, acceleration and position of the steering gear, thereby greatly improving the richness of the sound command.

[0035] The housing 1 is also provided with a control panel for driving the power motor 31 to rotate, and a battery for supplying power to the power motor 31 and the control panel. Figure 2 As shown, a charging port 12 is provided on the top of the housing 1. A Bluetooth communication module is provided on the control panel. The Bluetooth communication module enables the trainer to remotely control the trigger mechanism 3 using the transmitter. In addition, using Bluetooth communication technology, it is also possible to bind one transmitter with multiple Bluetooth communication modules, which is conducive to realizing the function of one person training multiple dogs, further improving the training efficiency of the dogs.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, an opening 6 is provided on the back side of the housing 1. The opening 6 is located on the opposite side of the sound transmission end surface 5. The opening 6 is covered with a flexible layer 7, and the side wall of the cam plate 32 squeezes the flexible layer 7. In this way, the flexible layer 7 on the back side of the housing 1 fits tightly to the dog's body, making it easy for the power motor 31 to drive the cam plate 32 to rotate and squeeze the flexible layer 7, thereby simulating the stroking action, which is conducive to the trainer's remote encouragement and comfort of the dog. For example, the flexible layer 7 is made of a cloth sheet or a leather sheet.

[0037] According to a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the cam plate 32 is an elliptical plate. In this way, the symmetrical structure of the elliptical plate is conducive to the cam plate 32 squeezing the flexible layer 7 to soothe the dog while the power motor 31 drives the cam plate 32 to trigger the sound-generating spring piece 22 to make a sound, thereby ensuring the consistency of the positive feedback of the sound-generating spring piece 22 and the encouragement and soothing.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, a sound transmission hole 11 is provided on the sound transmission end surface 5. In this way, the sound transmission hole 11 is used to better transmit the sound emitted by the sound-emitting spring piece 22 in the placement cavity 4, which is conducive to ensuring the consistency of the sound emitted by the traditional sound piece.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, a connecting buckle 8 is arranged on the side wall of the housing 1. In this way, the connecting buckle 8 is used to facilitate wearing the housing 1 on the dog, which is conducive to reducing the difficulty of wearing the housing 1.

[0040] like Figure 3 Combination Figure 5As shown, an elastic connecting belt 9 is provided between a pair of connecting buckles 8. Such a configuration facilitates the shell 1 to be worn on the dog's neck through the elastic connecting belt 9, which is conducive to ensuring wearing comfort. Among them, a quick-insert buckle 10 is provided on the elastic connecting belt 9. Such a configuration is conducive to further reducing the difficulty of wearing the shell 1.

[0041] When using a dog training clicker device proposed in an embodiment of the utility model, the shell 1 is worn in a suitable position on the dog to ensure that the device is stable and does not cause discomfort to the dog. When the dog executes the correct command or action, the trainer can remotely control the dog training clicker device and start the power motor 31 to drive the cam plate 32 to rotate. As the cam plate 32 rotates, its side wall contacts the sound-generating shrapnel 22 and presses the sound-generating shrapnel 22. This action produces a rattling sound as positive feedback to mark the correct behavior of the dog. By repeating the above process, the dog will gradually associate the sound with the positive feedback, thereby enhancing the training effect. The design of the dog training clicker device is intended to provide instant feedback through sound, help dogs learn and understand training instructions faster, and improve training efficiency.

[0042] The present invention is not limited to the specific technical solutions described in the above embodiments. In addition to the above embodiments, the present invention may also have other implementation modes. For those skilled in the art, any technical solutions formed by any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
