For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of these terms in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0054] In the prior art, the motion model for jumping usually stimulates an animal to jump upward from an electrified take-off board to a non-electrified diving platform through a physiological stimulator, and a conditioned reflex is established through training so that the animal will automatically jump to the non-electrified diving platform without electrical stimulation as long as it is placed on the take-off board, thereby controlling the number of times of the animal's jumping training. However, this device requires manual operation to repeatedly place the animal on the take-off board, which limits the possibility of the device to achieve long-term jumping training.

[0055] First, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is the overall structural schematic diagram of the springboard device for animal training provided by the present utility model. As shown in Figure 1As shown in the figure, the present utility model provides a springboard device for animal training. The springboard device is arranged inside the box body 1. The springboard device includes a take-off board 2, a jump platform 3 and a push board 4. The take-off board 2 completely covers the bottom of the box body 1, and a physiological stimulator 21 for the animal to take off is arranged on the take-off board 2. The jump platform 3 is arranged above the take-off board 2, and the tabletop area of the jump platform 3 is smaller than the board area of the take-off board 2. The push board 4 is slidably arranged on the upper side of the jump platform 3 and is used to push the animal on the jump platform 3 off the jump platform. Based on the above structural settings, the present utility model does not require manual operation to repeatedly place the animal on the take-off board 2. After the animal jumps from the take-off board 2 to the jump platform 3, the push board 4 slides, thereby pushing the animal off the jump platform. Therefore, this device can achieve long-term jumping training. It should be noted that the present utility model does not impose any restrictions on the specific structures and set dimensions of the box body 1, the springboard 2, the jump platform 3 and the push board 4, and technicians can set them according to actual usage requirements by themselves.

[0056] In this preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 2 is the external schematic diagram of the springboard device for animal training provided by the present utility model. As Figure 2 shown, the box body 1 includes a first side surface 11, a second side surface 12, a third side surface 13 and a fourth side surface 14 that are connected in sequence. The jump platform 3 is in contact with the first side surface 11, the second side surface 12 and the third side surface 13 respectively, so that the jump platform 3 of the device is defined and arranged on one side of the box body 1 and is fixedly connected to three side surfaces of the box body 1, making the jump platform 3 have strong stability and preventing the jump platform 3 from shaking or even breaking due to the multiple slides of the push board 4 and the jumps of the animals.

[0057] In other embodiments, the jump platform 3 can also be arranged at other positions inside the box body 1. For example, the jump platform 3 is arranged in the center of the box body 1 by hanging on the upper surface of the box body 1. It can be understood that in this setting method, the stability of the jump platform 3 is relatively poor.

[0058] In this preferred embodiment, combining Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the springboard device provided by the present utility model further includes two slide rails 5. The two slide rails 5 are oppositely arranged on the first side surface 11 and the third side surface 13. The slide rail 5 includes a sliding groove 51 and a slider 52. The sliding groove 51 is arranged parallel to the bottom surface of the box body 1. The slider 52 is arranged on one side of the push board 4, and the slider 52 is slidably arranged in the sliding groove 51. Therefore, by sliding the slider 52 in the sliding groove 51, the push board 4 can slide above the jump platform 3 from the direction of the second side surface 12 of the box body to the direction of the fourth side surface 14, and then push the animal on the jump platform 3 off the jump platform.

[0059] In this preferred embodiment, the jump platform 3 includes a side edge 31 parallel to the sliding groove, and the length of the sliding groove 51 is greater than or equal to the length of the side edge 31 to ensure that the sliding trajectory of the push plate 4 covers the entire jump platform 3 and prevent animals from staying on the jump platform. It should be noted that the present utility model does not impose any restrictions on the length of the sliding groove 51, and those skilled in the art can set it according to actual usage requirements. Optionally, the length of the sliding groove 51 does not need to be too long, and it is slightly greater than the length of the side edge 31.

[0060] In this preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a schematic structural view of the second embodiment of the springboard device for animal training provided by the present utility model. As Figure 3 shown, the slide rail includes two sliding grooves 51 and two sliders 52. The two sliding grooves 51 are both arranged parallel to the bottom surface of the box body 1, and the two sliding grooves 51 are distributed in the vertical direction. The two sliders 52 are arranged on the same side of the push plate 4, and each slider 52 is slidably arranged in the corresponding sliding groove 51. With such an arrangement, during the sliding process of the push plate 4, there are two sliders 52 on each side. By the corresponding sliding of the two sliders 52 in the two sliding grooves 51, the stability of the push plate 4 during sliding can be enhanced, and the sliding process of the push plate 4 can be prevented from failing due to the slippage of the sliders 52.

[0061] In this preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 4 , Figure 4 is a schematic structural view of the third embodiment of the springboard device for animal training provided by the present utility model. Combining Figures 1 to 4 , the slide rail includes at least three sliding grooves 51 and two sliders 52. The at least three sliding grooves 51 are all arranged parallel to the bottom surface of the box body 1, and the three sliding grooves 51 are distributed in the vertical direction; the two sliders 52 are arranged on the same side of the push plate 4, and each slider 52 is slidably arranged in the corresponding sliding groove 51. With such an arrangement, the device provides sliding grooves 51 of various heights, so that when the jump platform 3 is at different heights, the sliders 52 are provided with corresponding sliding grooves 51, thereby ensuring the sliding of the push plate 4.

[0062] Specifically, the number of sliding grooves 51 is three, namely the first groove body 511, the second groove body 512 and the third groove body 513. Therefore, the jump platform 3 can be arranged between the second groove body 512 and the third groove body 513, or the jump platform 3 can be arranged below the third groove body 513. Specifically, when the jump platform 3 is arranged between the second groove body 512 and the third groove body 513, the sliders 52 on both sides of the push plate 4 slide corresponding to the first groove body 511 and the second groove body 512; when the jump platform 3 is arranged below the third groove body 513, the sliders 52 on both sides of the push plate 4 slide corresponding to the second groove body 512 and the third groove body 513. It can be understood that the number of sliding grooves 51 is four, five, six, etc., to provide sliding grooves 51 at more heights for the height change of the jump platform 3, and the embodiments thereof will not be elaborated herein.

[0063] In this preferred embodiment, in combination with Figures 1 to 4 , the springboard device provided by the present utility model further includes two height-adjusting frames 6. The two height-adjusting frames 6 are oppositely arranged on the first side surface 11 and the third side surface 13. The height-adjusting frames 6 are arranged perpendicular to the bottom surface of the box body 1, and a plurality of mounting holes 61 are arranged on the height-adjusting frames 6 at different heights. Fixing mechanisms 32 are respectively arranged on two opposite side edges 31 of the jump platform 3. By corresponding the fixing mechanisms 32 to different mounting holes 61, the height of the jump platform 3 can be adjusted.

[0064] In this preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 5 , Figure 5 is a schematic structural view of the push plate in the springboard device for animal training provided by the present utility model. As Figure 5 shown, the springboard device provided by the present utility model further includes a baffle 7. One end of the baffle 7 is fixed to the lower part of the push plate 4, and the other end of the baffle 7 is in contact with the tabletop of the jump platform 3. It can be understood that during the sliding process of the push plate 4, in order to ensure the smooth sliding of the push plate 4, therefore, a preset connection gap is left between the push plate 4 and the jump platform 3 to reduce the frictional resistance during sliding. Thus, the baffle 7 is provided to prevent the animal from being stuck in the connection gap between the push plate 4 and the jump platform 3 and being injured. It should be noted that the present utility model does not impose any restrictions on the specific structure and setting dimensions of the baffle 7, and those skilled in the art can set them according to actual usage requirements.

[0065] In this preferred embodiment, the springboard device provided by the present utility model further includes a controller (not shown in the figure) and a motor (not shown in the figure). Among them, the controller is signal-connected to the motor, and the motor is configured to drive the push plate 4 to slide at preset intervals. Among them, the controller is used to control the motor to turn on or off, and the motor is used to drive the push plate 4 to slide to push the animal off the jump platform to achieve long-term jumping training.

[0066] Specifically, the motor drives the push plate 4 to slide from the second side 12 of the box body 1 towards the fourth side 14. After the push plate 4 finishes sliding, the motor immediately drives the push plate 4 to return to its original position, facilitating the next push. It should be noted that the present utility model does not impose any restrictions on the specific duration of the preset time, and those skilled in the art can set it according to actual usage requirements. Optionally, the preset time can be 1 minute, 2 minutes, or 3 minutes. It can be understood that the preset time should not be too short to leave sufficient time for the animal to jump.

[0067] In this preferred embodiment, the physiological stimulator 21 is signal-connected to the controller, and the physiological stimulator 21 is configured to alternate between generating physiological stimulation and not generating physiological stimulation. Such a setting is to minimize the electrical stimulation damage to the animal while the animal jumps for a long time. Specifically, after several stimulation trainings, most animals can actively jump onto the platform even without being electrically stimulated after being pushed down by the push plate. Only a few animals fail to jump onto the platform within the specified non-stimulation time, and these animals that do not jump actively will be electrically stimulated again and jump onto the platform passively. This alternation of physiological stimulation and the alternation of the push of the push plate can minimize the harm to the animal caused by electrical stimulation during long-term use of the device. It should be noted that the present utility model does not impose any restrictions on the specific type of the physiological stimulator 21, and those skilled in the art can set it according to actual usage requirements. Optionally, the physiological stimulator 21 can be electrical stimulation, temperature stimulation, etc.

[0068] In this preferred embodiment, the controller is configured to be able to control the stimulation duration of the physiological stimulator 21. For example, when the physiological stimulator 21 is electrical stimulation, the physiological stimulator 21 can be configured to alternate between 15 s of no electrical stimulation and 45 s of electrical stimulation, so as to further facilitate the long-term observation of the animal's jumping training.

[0069] It should be noted that the above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the principle of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present utility model. Without departing from the principle of the present utility model, those skilled in the art can adjust the above structure so that the present utility model can be applied to more specific application scenarios.

[0070] So far, the technical solution of the present utility model has been described in combination with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings. However, it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the protection scope of the present utility model is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of the present utility model, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
