The circuit module 2 comprises a circuit board 21, a communication module 22, a positioning module 23, and a control module 24 (the communication module 22, the positioning module 23, and the control module 24 are arranged in a Figure 6 and Figure 7 The communication module 22, the positioning module 23 and the control module 24 are all arranged on the circuit board 21 and are electrically connected to the circuit board 21. The communication module 22 and the positioning module 23 are both electrically connected to the control module 24. Among them, the communication module 22 plays a role in wireless communication, and the positioning module 23 is used to receive positioning information and transmit the positioning information to the cloud platform (i.e., cloud server) through the communication module 22 wirelessly. The mobile terminal device (such as the user's mobile phone, computer, etc.) interacts with the cloud platform to obtain positioning information (the specific functions and working principles of the communication module 22 and the positioning module 23 can refer to the existing technology and will not be repeated here), and then obtain the real-time location information of the pet.

[0032] The two opposite sides of the clamping member 3 are detachably connected to the housing 1, so that the clamping member 3 can be connected to the housing 1 and can be removed from the housing 1. When the clamping member 3 is connected to the housing 1, a gap 30 for accommodating a collar (not shown in the figure, the collar is generally worn on the neck of the pet) is formed between the clamping member 3 and the housing 1, so that the collar can be clamped and fixed between the clamping member 3 and the housing 1. Specifically, when the pet locator is installed on the collar, the clamping member 3 is first disassembled from the housing 1, and then the clamping member 3 and the housing 1 are respectively placed on both sides of the collar, and then the clamping member 3 is connected to the housing 1, so that the collar is clamped and fixed between the clamping member 3 and the housing 1. Among them, the clamping member 3 is generally located on the inner side of the pet locator (i.e., the side close to the pet; that is, the clamping member 3 is located on the inner side of the collar), that is, after wearing, the clamping member 3 will contact the fur of the pet.

[0033] like Fig.10As shown, in other embodiments, one side of the clamping member 3 may be rotatably connected to the housing 1 (for example, rotatably connected via the rotating shaft 34), and the other side of the clamping member 3 may be detachably connected to the housing 1; such arrangement enables the clamping member 3 to be rotated open or closed relative to the housing 1. Specifically, when the pet locator is installed on the collar, one side of the clamping member 3 (the detachable side) is first detached from the housing 1, and then the clamping member 3 is rotated open, and then the collar is placed between the clamping member 3 and the housing 1, and then the clamping member 3 is rotated in the opposite direction to close, and the clamping member 3 is reconnected to the housing 1, so that the collar is clamped and fixed between the clamping member 3 and the housing 1.

[0034] The pet locator provided in this embodiment is capable of stably clamping and fixing the collar between the clamping member 3 and the shell 1 by providing a clamping member 3, which cooperates with the shell 1. This is not only convenient for installation and disassembly, but also the position of the pet locator can be fixed after it is installed on the collar.

[0036] like Figures 2 to 7 As shown, as an embodiment, the connecting parts 32 on the opposite sides are respectively fixed to the shell 1 by snap-fit ​​structures (not numbered in the figure), so as to realize the detachable connection between the connecting part 32 and the shell 1. Of course, in other embodiments, the connecting part 32 and the shell 1 can also be connected in other detachable ways (for example, connected by a movable buckle). Specifically, in this embodiment, each snap-fit ​​structure includes a snap hole 321 provided on the connecting part 32 and a claw 13 provided on the shell 1 (the connecting parts 32 on the opposite sides are provided with snap holes 321, and the opposite sides of the shell 1 are provided with claws 13), and the claws 13 can be stuck in the snap holes 321.

[0037] like Figures 2 to 7As shown, as an embodiment, each buckle structure includes a plurality of slots 321 arranged at intervals and a plurality of claws 13 arranged at intervals, and the plurality of claws 13 correspond to the plurality of slots 321 one by one, and each claw 13 can be clamped in the corresponding slot 321, thereby improving the stability of the connection. The connecting portion 32 is bent and extended from the side of the clamping plate portion 31 toward the side close to the housing 1, and the claw 13 is bent and extended from the side of the housing 1 toward the side away from the clamping member 3, and the outer wall surface at the bending position of the claw 13 is a curved surface structure, so that the claw 13 can be clamped into the slot 321 more smoothly.
