Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a pet behavior correction device, specifically an electric shock-type pet licking behavior training device. Background Technology

[0002] Licking is a common and natural behavior in pets' daily lives, especially for dogs and cats. This behavior is usually driven by curiosity, anxiety, seeking attention, or some other instinct. Dogs and cats may lick various objects around them, including furniture, floors, walls, and even trash and unclean items. While sometimes this licking behavior is harmless, it can pose health risks if the items are inappropriate. For example, items licked by dogs and cats may contain toxic substances, such as chemical cleaners or pesticides. If ingested, these substances can cause serious harm to their health. Furthermore, some foods may contain bacteria or mold. If dogs and cats lick and ingest these items, it can cause digestive upset, leading to vomiting, diarrhea, or more serious poisoning symptoms. Even more dangerous is the possibility that certain items (such as plastic bags, textiles, or small objects) can cause intestinal blockage or other acute health problems if accidentally ingested by dogs and cats. Especially when pets are unattended and roaming freely, the risk of them licking inappropriate items increases significantly, further threatening their safety. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: how to provide an electric shock-type pet licking behavior training device that can effectively manage and correct pet licking behavior.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] An electric shock-type pet licking behavior training device includes a box with a food trough on it. Several electrodes are fixedly connected inside the food trough, spaced apart from each other. The electrodes are insulated from the food trough. The electrodes include at least one positive electrode and at least one negative electrode. A power supply is also provided on the box. The positive output terminal of the power supply is electrically connected to all the positive electrodes, and the negative output terminal of the power supply is electrically connected to all the negative electrodes. When the pet licks the items in the food trough, it can simultaneously contact the positive and negative electrodes, thus activating the power circuit.

[0006] In the manufacture of this utility model, the spacing between several electrodes is set according to the different body sizes of different pets. For example, for larger pets, whose mouths and tongues are larger, the spacing between electrodes can be appropriately increased. While ensuring that the power circuit can be conducted when the pet licks, the number of electrodes can be reduced, which helps to reduce the manufacturing cost. When using the device, place food or other scented items that can attract pets into the food bowl and position it between several electrodes, ensuring the food is not higher than the electrodes. Place the box in a specific location, and the pet will come to eat or lick after smelling the enticing scent. This will cause the pet's mouth or tongue to touch the multiple electrodes in the food bowl. Because there are positive and negative electrodes, a closed-loop circuit can be formed between the power source and the pet. The power source in this application uses a safe combination of voltage and current. There are two types of voltage and current combinations: one is a high voltage of several hundred to several thousand volts, with a current of approximately several milliamps. Although the voltage is very high, this current usually only lasts for a few microseconds to a few milliseconds, so it will not harm the pet, only causing a brief "electric shock" sensation. The second combination is a safe voltage of 24-36V. At this voltage, a human hand will not feel anything, but for pets with high humidity, there will be a noticeable current flowing through their mouths and tongues. This current is typically 30-100 milliamps. These two voltage and current matching methods are both safe and can effectively stimulate the pet. This electrical stimulation will cause the pet to quickly move away from the food bowl. Through long-term training in a specific environment, the pet will develop a conditioned reflex and will not lick food or items with special smells indiscriminately.

[0007] As an optimization, the housing is also equipped with a deterrent sound generator and a normally open proximity sensor switch electrically connected to the deterrent sound generator. The normally open proximity sensor switch can detect when a pet approaches the food trough and activate the deterrent sound generator when the pet approaches. The power supply provides power to the deterrent sound generator, and the normally open proximity sensor switch is connected in series in the circuit between the power supply and the deterrent sound generator. The normally open proximity sensor switch can sense the pet's approach. When the pet approaches to lick, the normally open proximity sensor switch can detect the pet and close the switch, activating the deterrent sound generator to emit a warning or deterrent sound. This, combined with the pet's electric shock detection when touching the electrodes, further enhances the behavioral training effect on the pet.

[0008] As an optimization, the normally open proximity sensor switch is mounted on the side where the food trough is located. This allows for better detection of the pet's approach.

[0009] As an optimization, the power supply includes a battery, a power switch, a power indicator light, and a transformer. The positive and negative terminals of the battery are electrically connected to the positive and negative terminals of the power indicator light and the positive and negative input terminals of the transformer, respectively. The power switch is located at the positive terminal of the battery to control the on / off state of the power indicator light and the transformer. The positive output terminal of the transformer is electrically connected to all the positive electrodes, and the negative output terminal of the transformer is electrically connected to all the negative electrodes. The transformer can achieve a high voltage and low current effect by boosting the voltage of the battery. Additionally, the power indicator light illuminates when the power switch is turned on, allowing the user to easily observe whether the power is connected.

[0010] As an optimization, the power supply also includes a power display module. The power display module comprises a battery management module, a display module, and a sensor module. The sensor module detects the battery's current and voltage data. The battery management module acquires the current and voltage data detected by the sensor module, processes it to obtain the battery's power information, and sends this information to the display module for display. This allows for a more intuitive understanding of the battery information through the displayed power level.

[0011] As an optimization, the housing includes a trough and a cavity located within the housing for installing the power supply. The trough is located at the top of the housing, and the cavity is located at the bottom or side of the housing. A cover is provided at the opening of the cavity to facilitate circuit installation and maintenance. In the housing, the trough and the cavity for installing the power supply and wiring can be separate components. The trough is located on the top surface of the housing, and the cavity for installing the power supply and wiring can be located below or to the side of the trough. During initial installation, maintenance, or battery replacement, the trough and cavity can be separated, or the cover can be opened for operation. The cavity and cover can be as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 3 The illustration shows the bottom position, but it can also be placed on the side.

[0012] As an optimization, the electrode can be cylindrical, sheet-shaped, or arched, and can be any one of these shapes. The electrode is fixedly connected to the bottom of the feeding trough. When the electrode is cylindrical, it is positioned along a plane perpendicular to the bottom of the feeding trough. When the electrode is sheet-shaped, its plane is perpendicular to the bottom of the feeding trough. When the electrode is arched, both ends are fixed to the bottom of the feeding trough, and its plane is perpendicular to the bottom of the feeding trough. This electrode structure allows for the placement of relatively dry food in the feeding trough.

[0013] As an optimization, when the electrode is cylindrical, the end of the electrode away from the bottom of the feeding trough is rounded; when the electrode is sheet-shaped, both ends of the side of the electrode away from the bottom of the feeding trough are chamfered; and when the electrode is arched, the cross-section of the electrode is circular. This avoids sharp parts on the electrode from scratching the pet.

[0014] As an optimization, the electrode can be either wire-shaped or strip-shaped, and either shape is acceptable. The two ends of the electrode are respectively mounted on opposite side walls of the feeding trough or on the box body at the opening of the feeding trough. The feeding trough portion below the electrode is detachably connected to the box body. This allows the feeding trough to be removed to hold liquid food or for cleaning. Liquid food placed inside the feeding trough will not come into contact with the electrodes and cause a short circuit. It can also be easily removed for cleaning.

[0015] As an optimization, the box's shape can be round, rectangular, fish-shaped, poultry leg-shaped, bread-shaped, hamburger-shaped, or leg bone-shaped. The food trough inside the box can also be changed accordingly to suit aesthetic needs. This variation in box shape, through a combination of visual and sensory elements, can further enhance the behavioral correction and training effect on pets' licking behavior.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model effectively solves the problem of pets licking inappropriate items in daily life due to curiosity or other reasons, thus avoiding potential threats to their health and safety. Attached Figure Description

The battery management module can acquire the current data and voltage data of the battery 4 detected by the sensor module, process them to obtain the power information of the battery 4, and send the power information of the battery 4 to the display module for display.

[0035] Please see Figure 3 The box body 8 is provided with a feeding trough 11 and a cavity 10 located inside the box body 8 for installing the power supply. The feeding trough 11 is located at the top of the box body 8, and the cavity 10 is located at the bottom or side of the box body 8. A cover plate 9 is provided at the opening of the cavity 10 for installation and maintenance. In this specific embodiment, the electrode 1 is cylindrical in shape and is arranged along a plane perpendicular to the bottom of the feeding trough 11. In other embodiments, the electrode 1 can also be plate-shaped or arched.

Figure 5 Alternatively, the two ends of the wire-shaped or strip-shaped electrode 1 can also be mounted on the box body 8 at the opening of the feeding trough 11, as shown in [reference needed]. Figure 6 The feeding trough section below electrode 1 is detachably connected to the box body 8 (not shown in the figure). In this way, the feeding trough 11 can be removed to hold liquid food or for cleaning. Liquid food placed in the feeding trough 11 will not touch electrode 1 and cause a short circuit. It can also be easily cleaned after removal.
