By setting the pet information through the information identification module, the pet information or the pet owner's contact information can be modified and replaced without removing or changing the appearance of the module, which is more convenient to use.

[0036] The light module is arranged at one end of the lower shell 3, and includes a light source 4, a light guide column 5 and a light shield 6. The light source 4 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of one end of the lower shell 3, one end of the light guide column 5 is close to the light source 4, and the other end extends outward and is fixed on the side wall of the lower shell 3. The light shield 6 is arranged on the periphery of the light source 4. In this embodiment, the light source 4 is a two-color LED light, and the sound prompt module is a buzzer. The main control module controls the light source and the buzzer through GPIO to provide prompts for pet-finding, charging, low-battery alarm, power-on and other status. The light source 4 corresponds to the forms of constant red light, blue light, flashing, etc. When the pet-finding mode is turned on in the applet, the flashing frequency of the LED light and the sound frequency of the buzzer are automatically increased to make the pet easier to be found.

[0037] In some embodiments, the light guide column 5 is a trapezoidal hollow cylinder, one side of which faces the light source 4, one side of which faces the long side, and one side of which faces the side wall of the lower shell 3. The bottom surface of the long side is open. The side of the light guide column 5 facing the light source 4 is made of a light-transmitting material, and the other side is made of a light-shielding material. The light source is introduced through the light-transmitting surface and then guided out through the opening of the bottom surface. A light outlet hole 301 corresponding to the light guide column 5 is provided on the side wall of the lower shell 3, and a light-transmitting plate 302 made of a light-transmitting material is provided at the light outlet hole 301. The trapezoidal structure of the light guide column 5 amplifies the light emitted by the light source 4 in a fixed direction through the guiding arrangement of the long and short sides and the two side sides, and radiates it through the light outlet hole 301 to improve the lighting effect.

[0038] In this embodiment, the number of light-blocking plates 6 is two, and the light-blocking plates 6 are made of light-shielding material.

[0039] The light blocking plates 6 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the light source 4. The rear side of the light source 4 uses the mounting base 11 of the magnetic charging needle as a shield, and the upper side uses the circuit board for shielding. Through this arrangement, the light beam of the light source 4 is concentrated in one direction and scattered by the light guide column 5, thereby enhancing the brightness and facilitating identification.

[0040] The key module includes a first key 7, a sealing ring 12, a resetting elastic member 10 and a second key 8. The middle shell 2 has a key channel downwardly opened, the first key 7 is vertically arranged in the key channel, the first key 7 includes a cap 701 and a pressure column 702, and the sealing ring 12 is sleeved on the outside of the cap 701. The key module is arranged on the middle shell 2, and the outer side of the upper shell 1 is covered to effectively prevent the pet from accidentally touching the shutdown button when colliding with the outside.

[0041] Specifically, an annular groove is provided inwardly on the outer circumference of the cap head 701, and the sealing ring 12 is sleeved on the annular groove, and the outer side surface of the sealing ring 12 is fitted and connected with the inner side of the key channel; by providing the sealing ring 12, the gap between the first key 7 and the key channel is sealed to prevent liquid, dust and other impurities from entering the interior of the device and affecting the operation of electrical components.

[0042] The reset elastic member 10 is sleeved on the outside of the pressure column 702, one end of the reset elastic member 10 is connected to the lower side of the cap head 701, and the other end is connected to the upper side of the second button 8; since the sealing ring 12 is provided to increase the friction resistance between the first button 7 and the button channel, in order to ensure that the first button 7 can be normally reset after being pressed, the first button 7 is bounced up and reset by the rebound force of the reset elastic member 10.

[0043] The second button 8 is arranged on the circuit board below the pressure column 702, and the second button 8 is connected to the main control module through the circuit. The second button 8 is triggered by pressing the first button 7, and the second button 8 sends instructions to the main control module through the circuit to control the switch of the device.

[0044] In some embodiments, the main control module is a SE25GS module, which has a built-in 4G communication module, GNSS module, WiFi module and LBS module, and the sensor module is a QMA7981 accelerometer, which is connected to the main control module through an IIC interface. The selected SE25GS module integrates communication and multiple positioning modules, and does not require an additional external positioning chip in the MCU, which effectively saves the internal space of the device to meet the needs of miniaturization of the locator. At the same time, the SE25GS module provides a complete FOTA solution. According to the document description, the upgrade function is relatively comprehensive, which can support AP, CP and AP+CP upgrades, and the upgrade method also supports full package and differential upgrade methods. The QMA7981 accelerometer is used to identify whether the animal is in motion and use it to wake up the main control module to perform a suitable positioning mode according to the pet's status, so as to achieve low power consumption of the device while ensuring effective positioning.

[0045] In this embodiment, the network card module is used to insert the Internet of Things card and connect to the Internet through the 4G antenna. The 4G communication network signal is good, which makes the pet positioning data more accurate and the reporting data more timely. For pets that are prone to running, accurate and timely positioning is of great significance.

[0046] In some embodiments, the antenna module is a laser-engraved antenna 13 coated on the left and right sides of the inner shell. In order to ensure that the pet locator is small and light, the device needs to be small, and then the arrangement of the 4G antenna and the positioning antenna in a small space needs to be carefully considered. If the antennas are arranged close together, the signal quality between the antennas will be significantly affected. Therefore, considering the antenna position and the space occupied by the antenna, the 4G antenna and the positioning antenna are coated on both sides of the length direction of the locator shell in the form of laser engraving in this application, which not only ensures that the antennas do not interfere with each other, but also reduces the equipment space occupied by the antenna.

[0047] In some embodiments, a flexible strap 9 is also included, and notches 901 are respectively provided at both ends of the flexible strap 9. Connecting blocks 101 are symmetrically provided on the front and rear sides of the upper shell 1. The notches 901 can be hung on the connecting blocks 101. A lifting portion 902 is also provided on the outer side of the notch at one end of the flexible strap 9. The flexible strap 9 can be made of rubber. When in use, to ensure that the locator can be firmly set on the pet collar, the flexible strap 9 and the locator are placed on both sides of the collar respectively, and the notches 901 at both ends of the flexible strap 9 are respectively hung on the connecting blocks 101 on the front and rear sides of the upper shell 1, so that the collar and the locator fit tightly. When the locator needs to be taken down, the locator can be released from the collar by pulling up the lifting portion 902.
