Two limiting rings 21 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the upper vest 1. Fixing straps 22 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the lower vest 2. The surface of the fixing straps 22 is inserted into the inner wall of the limiting rings 21. Velcro is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixing straps 22. The limiting rings 21 and the fixing straps 22 are connected by Velcro, so that the upper vest 1 and the lower vest 2 are tightly fixed to prevent displacement or loosening, while allowing the tightness to be flexibly adjusted according to the dog's size.

[0033] Example 3:

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 4 As shown, during nighttime mountain search and rescue missions, climbers get lost and trapped in complex mountain forests. Due to low visibility at night and rugged mountain environments, traditional search and rescue methods are inefficient. In such cases, search and rescue dogs equipped with dog vests that integrate multiple cameras and positioning structures are dispatched to perform the mission, using their multi-angle environmental perception and real-time positioning capabilities to quickly locate the trapped individuals.

[0035] Before the search and rescue dog puts on its vest, the operator adjusts the upper vest 1 and lower vest 2 to the appropriate tightness using the fixing straps 22 and the limiting loops 21 to ensure the vest fits the dog securely. The collar 10 is secured to the dog's neck with the elastic band 12. The locator 11 automatically activates, and the first camera 4, the second camera 6, and the thermal imaging camera 8 are inserted into the insertion holes 14 via the mounting blocks 17. The electric guide rail 13 drives the positioning rod 16 to insert into the limiting hole 18 to complete the locking. The transmitter 19 is activated, establishing a real-time data connection with the command center.

[0036] After the search and rescue dogs enter the target area:

[0037] Environmental monitoring: Two first cameras 4 capture visible light images in front of and behind the dog, two second cameras 6 cover the field of view on both sides, and a thermal imaging camera 8 detects heat source signals in the forest and transmits them to the command center in real time.

[0038] Location tracking: The locator 11 continuously sends the dog's location coordinates, and combines GPS with movement trajectory analysis to narrow down the search and rescue area.

[0039] Nighttime assistance: Thermal imaging camera 8 identifies the body temperature signal of the trapped person in the dark environment, and the command center confirms the target location through the image.

[0040] Target location and rescue

[0041] Once the thermal imaging showed the location of the trapped person, the command center sent the precise coordinates to the rescue team via transmitter 19. Search and rescue dogs guided the rescue team to the target location, successfully completing the rescue.

[0042] Working principle: The first camera 4 is installed on the first mounting blocks 3 on both sides of the top of the vest 1, and is used to collect visible light images in front of and behind the dog, providing a clear field of vision in daylight or well-lit environments.

[0043] The second camera 6 is fixed to the second mounting blocks 5 on both sides of the vest 1, covering the dog's left and right lateral field of vision, avoiding blind spots, and is suitable for narrow or complex terrain (such as ruins, jungle).

[0044] The thermal imaging camera 8 is installed on the third mounting block 7 at the bottom of the vest 2. It detects the ambient temperature difference through infrared thermal sensing and identifies the heat source of a human or animal at night, in smoke, or in environments where vegetation obscures the view, thereby enhancing search and rescue efficiency.

[0045] Collaboration mechanism: Data from the three sets of cameras is transmitted back to the terminal in real time via transmitter 19, and the back-end system performs multi-view fusion analysis to comprehensively judge the target location and environmental risks.

[0046] After the mounting block 17 at the bottom of the camera is inserted into the plug hole 14, the electric guide rail 13 drives the sliding block 15 to move horizontally, which in turn drives the positioning rod 16 to insert into the limit hole 18, thereby achieving mechanical locking and preventing the camera from becoming loose or falling off when the dog runs or jumps. At the same time, it supports quick replacement or repair of the camera module.

[0047] Upper vest 1 and lower vest 2 are connected by a fixing strap 22 through a limiting loop 21. The tightness is adjusted by Velcro to fit dogs of different sizes and to ensure the overall stability of the vest.

[0048] The locator 11 is integrated inside the collar 10, and tracks the dog's location in real time via GPS / BeiDou dual-mode positioning, recording its movement trajectory. The elastic band 12 ensures the collar fits snugly around the neck and prevents the positioning signal from being lost.

[0049] Transmitter 19 uses a 4G / 5G or wireless private network module to synchronously transmit camera images, thermal imaging data and positioning coordinates to the command terminal. The label 20 is labeled with information such as dog ID and trainer contact information to facilitate on-site identification and management.

[0050] The command center remotely guides the search and rescue dogs' operations through real-time data, forming a highly efficient collaborative model of "dog detection + human decision-making".

[0051] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
