[0027] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] This utility model provides an embodiment of a pet dog trainer, specifically including: a pet dog trainer, comprising: a trainer 100, having binding holes 101 on both sides for attaching it to the pet dog's body via a strap or leash; the trainer contains a signal receiving circuit, a first LORA main control circuit, and a training trigger module connected in sequence; the training trigger module includes a vibration unit, an electric shock unit 102, and a buzzer unit 103, wherein the electrodes of the electric shock unit extend to the outside of the trainer, providing punitive guidance when the pet dog does not follow instructions; and a remote control 200, capable of at least... A trainer is matched so that multiple trainers 100 can be controlled by a single remote controller 200. The remote controller 200 has a second LORA main control circuit inside, and its surface has function buttons 202 and a display screen 101 electrically connected to the second LORA main control circuit, which are used to input corresponding training instructions and display status, respectively, as well as an infrared transmitting unit 203 and a radio frequency antenna 204 for transmitting signals to the trainers. The function buttons 202 include vibration buttons, electric shock buttons, and sound buttons corresponding to the vibration unit, electric shock unit 102, and buzzer unit 103, respectively.

[0029] In this embodiment, the infrared transmitting unit 203 enables control at a relatively short distance, while the radio frequency antenna 204 allows for control of the trainer 100 at a longer distance. The combination of the infrared transmitting unit 203 and the radio frequency antenna 204 solves the problem that current methods using only 443 or 315 radio frequency or infrared sensors have limited range and are unsuitable for complex outdoor environments. Even when the pet runs quickly or is far away, the trainer 100 can still receive the signal from the remote control 200 effectively, without signal loss due to distance. This ensures effective training in relatively complex outdoor environments. The aforementioned LoRa circuit offers advantages such as long transmission distance, good wall penetration, and low power consumption.

[0030] In one embodiment of this application, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the trainer 100 also includes a charging interface 104 and a switch button 105 electrically connected to the first LORA main control circuit; the charging interface 104 is electrically connected to the first LORA main control circuit and the battery via a charging module; as shown... Figure 6 As shown, the charging module includes: a power management chip U3, and a power supply detection terminal VBUS_DET, a battery detection terminal, and a charging control terminal CHRG for electrically connecting to the MCU. The charging control terminal is electrically connected to the corresponding pin of the MCU chip in the first control circuit; a power supply input terminal VBUS and a charging output terminal VBAT, wherein the charging output terminal VBAT is used to electrically connect to the battery; the power supply input terminal VBUS is electrically connected to the 5V power supply position and the VCC pin of the power management chip, and is sequentially electrically connected to a first voltage divider resistor R8 and a second voltage divider resistor R10, wherein the first voltage divider resistor R8 and the second voltage divider resistor R10 are located between the power supply detection terminal VBUS. The _DET circuit, which uses a voltage divider resistor, has advantages such as simple circuitry, strong practicality, and low cost. The charging output terminal VBAT is electrically connected to the BAT pin of the power management chip U3, and is electrically connected to the battery detection terminal VBAT_DET through the first current-limiting resistor R6. The battery detection terminal VBAT_DET is also electrically connected to the first pull-down resistor R7. The first pull-down resistor can ensure the timeliness of the detection signal of the battery detection terminal VBAT_DET. When there is residual current in the signal, it can be discharged through the first pull-down resistor R7. The battery detection terminal VBAT_DET is also electrically connected to the filter capacitor C31 to maintain the stability of the signal.

[0031] The aforementioned first LORA main control circuit, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the signal receiving circuit includes an N-channel and a P-channel electrically connected to the first MCU chip U1; the N-channel includes a path from the first antenna (not shown) to the first coupling inductor L16, to the first coupling capacitor C26, and to the N-channel pin of the first MCU chip U1; the P-channel includes a path from the first antenna to the first coupling inductor L16, to the first filter coupling capacitor C27, to the second electrical coupling capacitor C30, and to the P-channel pin of the first MCU chip U1; a second coupling inductor L17 is electrically connected between the N-channel pin and the P-channel pin.

[0032] In one embodiment of this application, as Figure 2 As shown, the function button 202 also includes a switching button; the switching button is electrically connected to the second LORA main control circuit. It is used to switch signal channels, allowing multiple trainers 100 to be controlled separately by a single remote control 200, thus enabling the training of multiple dogs using a single device.

[0033] The second LORA main control circuit is as follows: Figure 10 and Figure 11 The second MCU chip U6 shown includes a signal transmission circuit. This signal transmission circuit has a series of connections from the RF signal pin RF0 of the second MCU chip U6, to the fourth coupling inductor L4, to the LC resonant module, to the fifth coupling inductor L5, to the third coupling capacitor C17, to the sixth coupling inductor L7, to the duplex RF chip, to the third coupling inductor L6, and to the second antenna. The duplex RF chip is electrically connected to the second MCU chip U6. The triggering circuit includes a vibration unit, an electric shock unit, and a buzzer unit for responding to the control of the first LORA main control circuit.

[0034] The aforementioned signal receiving and transmitting circuits cover a frequency range of 470MHz-510MHz. Radio frequency signals within this range can utilize longer wavelengths and lower propagation loss to achieve longer communication distances. Compared to higher frequency signals, 470MHz-510MHz radio frequency signals have better penetration capabilities through buildings and other obstacles. Especially in open areas, signals in this frequency range experience lower path loss, making them suitable for long-distance communication. Since this frequency band is not widely used in commercial communications, there may be less frequency congestion and interference in some areas. In urban environments or combined indoor and outdoor scenarios, 470MHz-510MHz radio frequency signals can better penetrate obstacles, ensuring communication quality. This meets the application requirements of pet trainers in more complex scenarios.

[0035] The aforementioned LORA main control circuit preferably uses a LORA module from the TPUNB chip series. LORA (Long Range) technology, as a low-power, long-distance communication solution, is widely used in IoT devices. Based on S-FSK modulation, this ultra-long-distance wireless transmission technology, combined with application-customized communication networking protocols, supports unlicensed frequency bands of 433MHz and 470~510MHz, as well as customizable proprietary frequency bands such as 230MHz and 800MHz. It features high security, strong interference resistance, high concurrency, low cost, and easy deployment. Alternatively, the ASR6601 chip can be used, supporting multiple communication and encryption methods. It features low power consumption, long distance, and categorized operation, high integration (integrating a LoRa RF transceiver, modem, and a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller (MCU) operating at 48MHz), reducing the need for external components and contributing to smaller device size and lower costs. Built-in hardware encryption engines such as AES, DES, RSA, ECC, SHA, SM2 / 3 / 4, compatible with multiple communication methods such as FSK, MSK and BPSK, with a maximum of 256KB flash memory and 64KB SRAM to meet the storage needs of different applications, and can achieve a transmission distance of several kilometers in urban environments. Among them, the E78-433LN22S(6601) has a measured communication distance of up to 5.5km.

[0036] The aforementioned LC resonant module includes a seventh coupling inductor L3, a fourth coupling capacitor C16, a first filter capacitor C19, and a second filter capacitor C20. The first terminals of the seventh coupling inductor L3, the fourth coupling capacitor C16, and the first filter capacitor C19 are electrically connected to the fourth coupling inductor L4, and their second terminals are electrically connected to the fifth coupling inductor L5. This LC resonant module has a very high quality factor (Q value) and a very narrow bandwidth at its resonant frequency, allowing for highly efficient selection of signals at specific frequencies while suppressing other frequencies. At the resonant frequency, the LC resonant module exhibits high impedance, resulting in excellent power characteristics. Specifically, as part of an impedance matching network, it helps achieve optimal power transfer between the signal source and the load. The resonant frequency of the circuit can be easily changed by adjusting the values ​​of the inductors or capacitors, allowing the circuit to adapt to different operating frequencies or be fine-tuned to optimize performance. Its high Q value results in low loss and high energy storage efficiency.

[0037] For example, given that the preferred frequency range of this application is 470MHz and 510MHz, if the goal is to achieve resonance at 500MHz (which is between 470MHz and 510MHz), the basic values ​​of the inductor and capacitor can be calculated using the following formula:

[0038] f = 1 / 2 * PI * sqrt(LC)

[0039] Where f is the frequency, L is the inductance value, C is the capacitance value, sqrt(π / 2) is the square root, and PI is pi. Substituting the frequency value into the formula, the values ​​of L and C can be solved. It may be necessary to use a combination of inductors and capacitors or fine-tuning to achieve the precise resonant frequency and the required Q value. Adjustable inductors, variable capacitors, or trimmer capacitors may also be used in this application.

[0040] As an example, a control button triggers the second MCU chip U6 to send commands; specifically, pressing a sound button transmits a signal containing a sound command to the second MCU chip U6 for processing. The second MCU chip U6 then transmits the processed signal through a signal transmission circuit, sending the sound signal back out. The trainer, acting as the receiver, receives the signal via an antenna and signal receiving circuit. It then sends this signal to the first MCU chip U1, which analyzes and amplifies the received sound signal and executes the sound command. In this application, training can be performed using voice-controlled commands, which is convenient, simple, and efficient.

[0041] In one embodiment of this application, as Figure 2 As shown, the remote control 200 has a horizontally protruding ridge 205 on its side, which can increase the friction and comfort when holding it, and bring a better user experience.

[0042] In one embodiment of this application, a U-shaped silicone sleeve 300 is further included for covering the trainer 100. The U-shaped silicone sleeve 300 is provided with an opening, through which the binding hole 101, the electric shock unit 102, the buzzer unit 103, the charging interface 104, and the switch button 105 of the trainer 100 are exposed. This can protect the trainer 100 and prevent the trainer 100 from being damaged by collisions or squeezing during exercise. In addition, the U-shaped silicone sleeve 300, which fits tightly against the surface of the trainer 100, can also seal the gaps of the trainer 100, preventing water ingress due to poor sealing of the gaps.

[0043] In one embodiment of this application, the trainer 100 is further provided with a microphone hole, and the microphone hole is provided with a microphone component electrically connected to the first LORA main control circuit. It can not only record through the microphone hole, but also identify the sound through the built-in recognition circuit, and transmit the signal back to the remote controller 200 through the communication circuit set therein, thereby realizing automatic real-time triggering. The signal transmission from the trainer 100 to the remote controller 200 is similar to the signal transmission from the remote controller 200 to the trainer 100. The specific implementation can be referred to the corresponding circuit structure.

[0044] In one embodiment of this application, as Figure 8 As shown, the vibration unit includes, in sequence, a battery within the trainer 100, a vibration motor MOTOR1, a first transistor Q1, and a grounded buzzer circuit; and a vibration control circuit in sequence, in sequence, a first MCU chip U1, a third current-limiting resistor R31, a first transistor Q1, and a grounded circuit; the first MCU chip U1 controls the first transistor Q1, making its collector and emitter form a conductive or non-conductive connection, similar to a switch, so that the vibration motor can form a circuit.

[0045] In one embodiment of this application, as Figure 7 As shown, the buzzer unit includes a buzzer circuit that sequentially connects to a first MCU chip U1, a buzzer, a second transistor Q5, and ground; and a buzzer control circuit that sequentially connects to the first MCU chip U1, a fourth current-limiting resistor R30, the second transistor Q5, and ground. The first MCU chip U1 sends a signal to the buzzer control circuit to control the conduction or cutoff of the buzzer circuit.

[0046] In one embodiment of this application, as Figure 9 As shown, the electric shock unit includes a boost input circuit that runs sequentially from the battery in the trainer 100, to the second electrolytic capacitor C35, to ground, and from the battery and the primary coil of the transformer T1 in the trainer 100, to the MOSFET Q3, to ground; the secondary coil of the transformer T1 provides the electric shock electrodes; and an electric shock control circuit that runs sequentially from the first MCU chip U1, to the fifth current-limiting resistor R32, to the gate of the MOSFET Q3, to ground, for control based on the PWM signal issued by the first MCU chip U1.

[0047] Furthermore, a second pull-down resistor R33 is electrically connected to the gate (G) of the MOSFET Q3. Through the second pull-down resistor R33, the PWM signal current will not be affected by the parasitic capacitance effect in the circuit. When the first MCU chip U1 stops outputting the PWM signal, the signal at the gate (G) of the MOSFET Q3 will not disappear immediately, preventing the MOSFET Q3 from being turned off immediately. Through the second pull-down resistor R33, the remaining current can be quickly discharged, allowing the MOSFET Q3 to respond quickly to the PWM signal.

[0048] This application utilizes the LoRa IoT module, enabling it to communicate with mobile phones. During pet training, mobile phones and other terminal devices can be used as command transmitters, leveraging the phone's location and map functions. Furthermore, a virtual pet fence can be created using the map. Specifically, an area can be demarcated on the phone, for example, drawing a 2km circle on the map as the pet fence. Rules can be set for touching or exceeding this fence, such as issuing a beeping warning or administering an electric shock. For instance, when the trainer 100 is located within the pet fence and 10m from its boundary, a beeping warning is issued, and real-time voice communication is initiated. The owner can send a voice message or call the pet to guide it in the correct direction. If the pet disobeys the command and moves in the opposite direction, a punishment command can be automatically triggered or sent via a finger.

[0049] The aforementioned virtual electronic fence (pet fence) can be combined with the above signals. The remote control can send signals at regular intervals. After receiving the signals, the receiving end can make a basic distance determination by calculating the signal strength. Alternatively, it can use satellite positioning to determine whether the fence has been crossed.

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present invention.

Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or terminal device that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or terminal device.
