Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of pet equipment, in particular to a pet positioning collar capable of video monitoring. Background Art

[0002] In daily life, pets, as people's life partners, can help people relieve loneliness and regulate mental health. It can be said that pets have become a part of many people's family life, so the safety of pets also needs to be taken more and more seriously. Due to various reasons, pets are easy to get lost. In order to increase the chance of finding lost pets, a pet positioning collar with a GPS positioning module has been developed on the market. The positioning module can send coordinates to the cloud, and the pet owner can find it according to the positioning information fed back by the cloud on the APP on the mobile phone. The problem with this technical solution is that the GPS positioning module can only roughly locate the pet and cannot accurately reflect the actual environment in which the pet is located. After the pet is lost, it is easy to hide in a sheltered corner due to fear, making it difficult for the owner to quickly find the pet when searching, and once the battery of the pet positioning collar is exhausted, there is still a risk of not being able to find it. Therefore, how to develop a new type of pet positioning collar to overcome the above-mentioned problems in the prior art is a direction that technicians in this field need to study. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical purpose of the utility model is to provide a pet positioning collar capable of video monitoring, which can improve the success rate of finding the lost pet by displaying a picture of the pet's location when the pet owner is searching for the lost pet through GPS.

[0004] The utility model provides a pet positioning collar capable of video monitoring, which comprises:

[0005] A collar body, wherein the collar body is in a belt-like structure;

[0006] A GPS locator, which is installed on the collar body and is used to continuously generate a GPS positioning signal;

[0007] A miniature camera, which is mounted on the collar body and is used to continuously generate a video signal;

[0009] A power supply device is installed on the collar body and is used to supply power to the GPS locator, the micro camera, and the communication unit, respectively. That is, the power supply device is configured to be electrically connected to the GPS locator, the micro camera, and the communication unit, respectively.

[0010] By adopting this technical solution: after the pet is lost, the pet owner remotely controls the GPS locator and the micro camera to turn on through the mobile terminal, and receives the GPS positioning signal output by the GPS locator through the mobile communication module to obtain the approximate geographical location of the pet. At the same time, the video signal output by the micro camera through the mobile communication module is received by the mobile terminal to obtain the video image of the external environment where the pet is currently located. By combining the above two types of data, the pertinence of the pet owner's search process is improved and the chance of finding the pet is increased. The mobile terminal uses a tablet computer / smartphone that is convenient for the pet owner to hold during the search process, which is conducive to the pet owner to obtain video signals and GPS positioning signals in real time during the search process.

[0023] Secondly, the utility model can effectively increase the working life of signal transmission and reduce signal interruption caused by battery exhaustion.

[0024] Thirdly, the utility model can output the GPS positioning signal and the video signal to the mobile terminal based on the Bluetooth protocol. When the pet owner finds the device name corresponding to the Bluetooth communication module on the mobile terminal, it means that the pet is already near the current location, reducing the situation where the pet owner passes by the pet during the search process.

[0025] Fourthly, the utility model can adjust the tightness of the collar according to different pets, thereby increasing the service life of the collar.

[0026] Fifthly, the utility model can take pictures of the pet's surrounding environment by infrared night vision when the pet hides in a dark place or it is dark.

[0027] Finally, the system of the utility model has a simple structure and is easy to prepare and mass-produce. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
