Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of equipment technology for working dogs, specifically a dog vest. Background Technology
[0002] Working dog equipment is a series of tools and supplies specially designed, developed and manufactured to meet the functional needs, safety protection, behavior guidance and health monitoring needs of professional working dogs such as police dogs, military dogs, search and rescue dogs and guide dogs in the process of performing specific tasks or fulfilling duties. However, the current working dog vests are just simple protective equipment. Their traditional training still mainly relies on on-site commands. When the working dog needs to approach and scout ahead, or when the trainer and the dog are in a remote non-visual situation, the voice commands cannot be transmitted, resulting in command failure and making it difficult to meet the needs of the task. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model addresses the problem that existing technical solutions are too simplistic by providing a dog vest. This solution solves the problem mentioned in the background that current working dog vests are merely protective gear, and traditional training still relies mainly on verbal commands, while voice commands for specific body parts and locations cannot be transmitted.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A canine equipment vest includes a back panel and a belly panel, which are connected by snap fasteners. A control pocket is sewn to the top of the back panel. Both the back panel and the belly panel have detachable inner linings at their bottoms. Both the back panel and the belly panel have elastic fixing openings for placing a vibration module at their bottoms. Each of the back panel and the belly panel has a cable tie on the corresponding side of the elastic fixing opening. The central control bag has a buffer slot for inserting the receiver inside. One end of the buffer slot is fixedly connected to an elastic strap, and the other end of the buffer slot is rotatably connected to a C-shaped card block.
[0005] Furthermore, both the back panel and the belly panel are made of double-layer composite material, and the buckle includes a male buckle and a female buckle. The male buckle is sewn on both ends of the arc-shaped concave area of the back panel and on both ends near the tail, and the female buckle is sewn on the surface of the belly panel at the position corresponding to the male buckle. At the same time, a lifting handle is sewn to the top of the back panel.
[0006] Furthermore, the top of the control bag has a waterproof transparent window made of TPU material, and the control bag has a two-part structure, including a first bag body and a second bag body. One end of the first bag body and the second bag body are sewn together, and the other three sides are connected by a zipper assembly to form a detachable connection.
[0007] Furthermore, the bottom edges of the back piece and the belly piece are both sewn together with metal buckles. The outer wall of the metal buckle is an annular groove, and the outer wall of the inner lining is sewn with an elastic rope that fits into the annular groove at the corresponding position. The inner lining is also attached to the surface of the elastic fixing opening.
[0008] Furthermore, the C-shaped card block is rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the central control bag via a torsion spring, forming an elastic reset structure, and one end of the elastic strap is provided with a circular component that engages with the C-shaped card block.
[0009] Furthermore, there are six elastic fixing ports distributed at the bottom of the back piece, four of which are located on the central axis of the back piece and close to the front and rear ends of the back piece respectively, and the remaining two are distributed at equal distances along the edges of both ends of the back piece. The elastic fixing ports are distributed in a triangular shape at the bottom of the belly piece.
[0010] Furthermore, the cable tie is a Velcro fastener, including a rough side and a hook side. The rough side is fixed to the corresponding surfaces of the back piece and the belly piece, and one end of the hook side is sewn to the corresponding position of the back piece and the belly piece. The top of the back piece has a through hole for threading the vibration module cable, and the inner wall of the central control bag has a through hole that communicates with it.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. Made of double-layer composite material, it combines protection and comfort. The outer layer is waterproof and stain-resistant, while the inner layer is soft and skin-friendly. The buckle and lifting handle design allows for quick donning and auxiliary control, adapting to different training and task scenarios. The removable inner lining is secured with metal buckles and elastic cords, reducing friction damage to the dog's skin and fur, and also wrapping cables to prevent tangling and wear. The cable management uses Velcro, which flexibly stores cables and hides them in the internal channel. Combined with the waterproof design, it avoids environmental corrosion. The two-part zipper structure of the central control bag facilitates equipment installation.
[0012] 2. The vest utilizes a combination of flexible fixing ports, a central control pocket, and cable ties to construct a complete non-verbal command system. The flexible fixing ports are scientifically distributed according to the dog's body parts, transforming the vibration module into "tactile language." Combined with repeated daily training, this allows the dog to establish a neural association between "vibration position and action," enabling remote silent command. The central control pocket has a built-in double fixing structure to ensure receiver stability, and the transparent window facilitates real-time monitoring of the device's status, ensuring reliable command transmission. The entire device helps trainers overcome the limitations of traditional voice commands in complex task scenarios (such as non-line-of-sight, noisy environments, and silent operations), improving the intelligence and accuracy of task execution.

When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.
[0018] Please refer to the appendix carefully. Figure 1-4 A dog equipment vest includes a back piece 1 and a belly piece 2. The back piece 1 and the belly piece 2 are connected by a snap fastener 3. A central control pocket 4 is sewn to the top of the back piece 1. The bottom of both the back piece 1 and the belly piece 2 is provided with a detachable inner lining 5. The bottom of both the back piece 1 and the belly piece 2 is fixedly connected with an elastic fixing opening 6 for placing a vibration module. The elastic fixing opening 6 is provided with a wire harness 7 on the corresponding side of the elastic fixing opening 6 of both the back piece 1 and the belly piece 2. The central control bag 4 has a buffer slot 401 for inserting the receiver inside. One end of the buffer slot 401 is fixedly connected to an elastic strap 402, and the other end of the buffer slot 401 is rotatably connected to a C-shaped card block 403.
[0019] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, both the back piece 1 and the belly piece 2 are made of double-layer composite material, and the buckle 3 includes a male buckle and a female buckle. The male buckle is sewn on both ends of the arc-shaped concave area of the back piece 1 and the two ends near the tail, and the female buckle is sewn on the surface of the belly piece 2 at the position corresponding to the male buckle. At the same time, a lifting handle is sewn to the top of the back piece 1.
[0020] Through the above structure, the outer layer is made of high-strength waterproof fabric with a durable waterproof treatment on the surface, which can quickly repel rainwater, mud and other liquids to prevent them from seeping into the interior. The inner layer is made of soft and skin-friendly material with a delicate texture that conforms to the curves of the dog's body. Its flexibility can evenly distribute the weight of the vest and the pressure of the vibration module, reducing local pressure on the dog's body and ensuring comfort during long-term wear. The buckle 3 facilitates quick putting on during daily training, and the handle helps to enhance the control of the trainer.
[0021] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the top of the control bag 4 has a waterproof transparent window made of TPU material, and the control bag 4 is a two-part structure, including a first bag body and a second bag body. One end of the first bag body and the second bag body are sewn together, and the other three sides are connected by a zipper assembly to form a detachable connection. The control bag 4 is made of the same material as the back piece 1 and the belly piece 2, and all of them adopt a double-layer reset structure.
[0022] Through the above structure, the transparent window allows the trainer to intuitively view the working status of the receiver without opening the central control bag 4, quickly determine whether the device is operating normally, and reduce the time cost of troubleshooting. Its two-part zipper opening structure can be fully unfolded for easy cable connection. After opening the central control bag 4, the receiver can be securely placed in the buffer slot 401. The buffer slot 401 is made of silicone, which can balance hard support and soft touch, and prevent the receiver from directly contacting the dog's back.
[0023] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the bottom edges of the back piece 1 and the belly piece 2 are both sewn together with metal buckles. The outer wall of the metal buckle is an annular groove, and the outer wall of the inner lining 5 is sewn with an elastic rope that fits into the annular groove at the corresponding position. The inner lining 5 is attached to the surface of the elastic fixing opening 6.
[0024] Through the above structure, the inner liner 5 is made of soft and skin-friendly material, with built-in cotton and external mesh. After being tightly fixed by this connection method, it can effectively reduce the relative sliding between the inner liner and the dog's hair and skin, prevent hair tangling or skin abrasion caused by friction, and protect the dog's health. At the same time, the inner liner 5 can also hold the vibration module cable in the middle of the elastic fixing port 6, preventing the cable from shaking, tangling or abrading due to the dog's movement, extending the cable's service life and ensuring the stability of signal transmission.
[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 4As shown, the C-type card block 403 is rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the central control bag 4 via a torsion spring, forming an elastic reset structure, and one end of the elastic strap 402 is provided with a circular component that engages with the C-type card block 403.
[0026] Through the above structure, the elastic strap 402 and the C-shaped locking block 403 form a dual fixing structure of "strap binding + locking block". Even if the working dog is moving vigorously, it can effectively prevent the receiver from shifting, falling off or colliding, ensuring that the equipment is always in a safe state and will not become unstable due to excessive shaking or cause discomfort to the working dog. In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, there are six elastic fixing ports 6 distributed at the bottom of the back piece 1, four of which are located on the central axis of the back piece 1 and close to the front and rear ends of the back piece 1 respectively, and the remaining two are distributed at equal distances along the edges of both ends of the back piece 1. The elastic fixing ports 6 are distributed in a triangular shape at the bottom of the belly piece 2.
[0027] Through the above structure, the distribution on the back piece 1, with the central axis as the center of symmetry of the dog's body, can generate clear directional guidance with a single point stimulation. The symmetrical distribution on both sides forms a "left-middle-right" signal axis, which, with training, can help the dog develop "location perception" ability. The distribution on the abdominal piece 2 avoids soft abdominal organs and selects areas with thick muscles for placement, which ensures the stimulation effect and avoids the module compressing internal organs, thus improving the safety of wearing it. Through the three-dimensional layout of longitudinal positioning on the back, lateral expansion on both sides, and core control on the abdomen, the vibration module is transformed into the dog's "tactile language system", making the vest an efficient non-verbal communication medium between the trainer and the working dog, ultimately improving the intelligence and reliability of task execution.
[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the cable tie 7 is a Velcro fastener, including a rough side and a hook side. The rough side is fixed to the corresponding surfaces of the back piece 1 and the belly piece 2, and one end of the hook side is sewn to the corresponding position of the back piece 1 and the belly piece 2. The top of the back piece 1 has a through hole for threading the vibration module cable, and the inner wall of the central control bag 4 has a through hole that communicates with it.
[0029] With the above structure, the hook and loop sides of the Velcro can firmly fix the vibration module cable, preventing it from getting tangled and knotted during movement. The cable runs along the internal channel of the vest and is tightly fixed by the Velcro, reducing the exposed part. Combined with the waterproof material of the outer layer of the vest and the waterproof design of the central control bag 4, it effectively blocks rainwater, sand and dust from entering. The cable routing hole reserved at the top also facilitates the effective connection of the cable.
[0030] The specific operating procedure of this utility is as follows: The elastic fixing port 6 for installing the vibrating diaphragm group is set at different positions on the back plate 1 and the belly plate 2. It can be combined with the corresponding vibration part and the command. For example, the front end of the back plate 1 represents moving forward, the tail end represents moving backward, the left side of the back plate 1 represents turning left, etc.
[0031] Through continuous daily training, a fixed association is established between "vibration location" and "command" and "action" in the working dog's neurocognition. This enables the dog to complete the corresponding action based solely on the tactile stimulation of the vibration location. Through repeated practice, the dog's brain will associate "vibration location" with "command" and "action," forming a neural pathway. When the dog performs the action correctly, it is immediately given a food reward or emotional reward to strengthen the positive feedback of "stimulus-response" and accelerate the solidification of conditioned reflexes.
[0032] Through continuous training, in the later stages, the frequency of using commands can be gradually reduced, and the dog's response can be tested only by vibration stimulation. If the dog can complete the action independently, it means that the binding of "vibration position → action" has been established, and it can be completely separated from command.
[0033] Select the appropriate vest equipment according to the specifications of the working dog. First, insert the vibration module into the elastic fixing holes 6 set on the surface of the back piece 1 and the belly piece 2 respectively. After the vibration module is installed, use the Velcro structure of the cable tie 7 to cover the cable. The cable can be threaded through the cable routing hole reserved at the top of the back piece 1 and electrically connected to the receiver placed inside the central control bag 4.
[0034] The inner lining 5 is then connected to the metal buckles on the surface of the back piece 1 and the belly piece 2 via its elastic cord. The inner lining 5 is in direct contact with the working dog and can hold the cable in the middle. When the vest is worn, the buckle 3 at one end of the back piece 1 and the belly piece 2 can be unfastened to make it easy to put on the back and abdomen of the working dog. The buckle 3 can also be fastened to the elastic cord to adjust the elastic band's stretching size.
[0035] When in use, the vest can be worn with a helmet containing a vision module on the working dog's head. The vision module can transmit real-time audio to the trainer's device display screen. At the same time, the receiver placed in the central control bag 4 can be connected to the handle via wireless transmission mode. The trainer can send vibration commands by pressing the button on the handle.
[0036] The present invention has been described above by way of example in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any non-substantial improvement made by adopting the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention to other occasions without modification, shall be within the protection scope of the present invention.
