Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal training technology, specifically to an adjustable straddle for animal training. Background Technology
[0002] Animal training is a technical practice that uses systematic commands and behavioral training to make dogs obey commands. Its core includes establishing trust, standardizing commands and gestures, and reinforcing positive reward mechanisms. Training content covers basic commands, behavioral norms, and advanced skills. In advanced skill training, a trekking frame is often needed to assist in training the animal's obstacle-crossing ability. In existing technology, trekking frames are mainly composed of a metal frame and composite panels, including core components such as a base, uprights, and adjustable panels. When adjusting the panels, because the panels require support from two uprights, it is necessary to turn the limit knobs on the uprights separately to disconnect the panels from the uprights before adjusting the panels. After adjustment, the limit knobs need to be turned in the opposite direction to reconnect the left and right ends of the panels to the uprights. The overall adjustment requires frequent turning of the limit knobs, making the process inconvenient. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide an adjustable trekking frame for animal training, which reduces the steps required to adjust the height of the trekking frame rails, making the height adjustment of the trekking frame rails simpler and faster, and making the animal training process more convenient, thus effectively solving the problems in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an adjustable straddle for animal training, comprising two vertical shells distributed left and right, each vertical shell having a sliding column slidably connected inside, a guardrail between the upper ends of the two sliding columns, and an adjustment mechanism.
[0005] Adjustment mechanism: It includes a sliding plate, sleeves, inserts, and holes. The sliding plate is slidably connected to the closing groove on the lower surface of the enclosure. Sleeves are provided at both ends of the sliding plate, and the sleeves are movably fitted onto the outer arc surface of the sliding column. The elastically limited inserts are slidably connected longitudinally to the sliding holes at the lower end of the outer arc surface of the sliding column. The holes are respectively set at the front and rear ends of the vertical shell. The ends of the sliding columns are inserted into the adjacent holes. By gripping the middle of the enclosure with one hand, the sliding plate moves the limiting plate upward synchronously. The inclined sliding groove of the limiting plate applies force to the insert, pushing the insert away from the hole. This causes both ends of the enclosure to simultaneously lose their limiting connection with the vertical shell. After releasing the enclosure, the insert is reset by the limiting of the elastic component and inserted into the hole. This reduces the steps required for adjusting the height of the trestle enclosure, making the height adjustment of the trestle enclosure simpler and faster, and making the animal training process more convenient.
[0006] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism also includes a limiting plate and a cylinder. The limiting plate is respectively disposed at the lower end of the outer arc surface of the sleeve. The outer arc surface of the sleeve is provided with a clearance sliding hole that cooperates with the insertion post. The cylinder is respectively disposed on the outer arc surface of the insertion post. The cylinder is slidably connected to the inclined sliding groove of the adjacent limiting plate, which facilitates the horizontal movement of the insertion post.
[0007] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism also includes springs, which are respectively disposed between the limiting plate at the end of the insertion post and the outer arc surface of the sliding post. The springs are movably sleeved on the outer arc surface of the insertion post to provide elastic limiting for the insertion post.
[0008] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism also includes a cylinder and a return spring. The cylinder is respectively disposed at the upper end of the slide column, and the lower end of the cylinder is an open structure. A return spring is provided between the top wall of the cylinder and the upper surface of the adjacent sleeve. The return spring is movably sleeved on the outer arc surface of the slide column. The slide plate is located in the clearance sliding hole on the outer arc surface of the cylinder. The guard plate is disposed between the outer arc surfaces of the two cylinders to provide elastic limit for the sleeve.
[0009] Furthermore, the upper end of the vertical shell is an open structure, and a cap is inserted into the upper end of the vertical shell to close the opening at the upper end of the vertical shell.
[0010] Furthermore, each of the vertical shells is provided with a base on its lower surface, making the overall device more stable and less prone to tipping over.
[0011] Furthermore, the lower surface of the base is provided with anti-slip rubber pads, making the overall device more stable and less prone to lateral movement.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This adjustable straddle frame for animal training has the following advantages:
[0013] By gripping the middle of the enclosure with one hand, the sliding plate moves the limiting plate upwards simultaneously. The inclined groove of the limiting plate applies force to the insertion post, pushing it away from the insertion hole. This simultaneously cancels the limiting connection between both ends of the enclosure and the vertical shell. After releasing the enclosure, the insertion post is reset by the limiting mechanism of the elastic component and re-inserted into the hole. This reduces the steps required to adjust the height of the trestle enclosure, making the height adjustment simpler and faster, and making animal training more convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 This embodiment provides a technical solution: an adjustable trekking frame for animal training, including two vertical shells 3, arranged left and right, providing support for the enclosure components. Each vertical shell 3 has a sliding post 2 slidably connected inside. An enclosure 1 is positioned between the upper ends of the two sliding posts 2. By pushing the sliding posts 2 vertically within the vertical shell 3, the vertical position of the enclosure 1 is adjusted. The enclosure 1 serves as a barrier, training the animal to trek over obstacles. The upper end of the vertical shell 3 is open, facilitating the removal of the sliding posts 2 and limiting components from the vertical shell 3. The device is fitted with a cover 6, which consists of a cover plate and a sponge pad on its lower surface. The sponge pad is inserted into the interior of the vertical shell 3 via an interference fit, connecting the cover plate and the vertical shell 3 to close the opening at the top of the vertical shell 3. The lower surface of the vertical shell 3 is provided with a base 4 to increase the contact area between the lower end of the vertical shell 3 and the placement surface, thereby improving the stability of the overall device and making it less likely to tip over. The lower surface of the base 4 is provided with an anti-slip rubber pad 7 to increase the friction between the base 4 and the placement surface, making the overall device more stable and less likely to shift laterally due to external forces. The device also includes an adjustment mechanism 5.
[0021] Adjustment mechanism 5 includes a sliding plate 51, a sleeve 52, a pin 54, and a socket 55. The sliding plate 51 is slidably connected to the groove on the lower surface of the guardrail 1. Sleeves 52 are provided at both ends of the sliding plate 51, and the sleeves 52 are movably fitted onto the outer arc surface of the sliding pin 2. The elastically limited pins 54 are slidably connected longitudinally to the sliding holes at the lower end of the outer arc surface of the sliding pin 2. The sockets 55 are respectively located at the front and rear ends of the vertical shell 3. The ends of the sliding pin 2 are respectively inserted into the adjacent sockets 55. The adjustment mechanism 5 also includes a limiting plate 53 and a cylinder 57. The limiting plate 53 is respectively located at the lower end of the outer arc surface of the sleeve 52. The outer arc surface of the sleeve 52 is provided with clearance sliding holes that cooperate with the pins 54. The cylinders 57 are respectively located at the lower end of the outer arc surface of the sleeve 52. The outer arc surface of the insert post 54 and the cylinder 57 are slidably connected to the inclined groove of the adjacent limiting plate 53. The adjusting mechanism 5 also includes springs 56, which are respectively disposed between the limiting plate at the end of the insert post 54 and the outer arc surface of the sliding post 2. The springs 56 are movably sleeved on the outer arc surface of the insert post 54. The adjusting mechanism 5 also includes cylinders 58 and return springs 59. The cylinders 58 are respectively disposed at the upper end of the sliding post 2. The lower end of the cylinders 58 is an open structure. Return springs 59 are provided between the top wall of the cylinders 58 and the upper surface of the adjacent sleeve 52. The return springs 59 are movably sleeved on the outer arc surface of the sliding post 2. The sliding plate 51 is located in the clearance sliding hole on the outer arc surface of the cylinder 58. The guard plate 1 is disposed on the outer side of the two cylinders 58. Between the curved surfaces, one hand grasps the middle of the whole assembly consisting of the railing 1 and the sliding plate 51, and pushes the sliding plate 51 upward in the groove on the lower surface of the railing 1, overcoming the elastic force of the return spring 59, causing the sleeve 52 to slide relative to the sliding post 2, and the limiting plate 53 to move upward. The inclined groove on the surface of the limiting plate 53 applies a force to the cylinder 57 in the direction close to the sliding post 2, overcoming the elastic force of the spring 56, causing the cylinder 57 to push the semi-circular end of the insertion post 54 towards the sliding post 2, until the semi-circular end of the insertion post 54 leaves the insertion hole 55. At the same time, the two ends of the railing 1 are disconnected from the limiting connection of the vertical shell 3. At this time, the sliding post 2 can be pulled to slide vertically within the vertical shell 3 to adjust the up and down position of the railing 1. After the section is completed, release the pressure on the slide plate 51. Under the elastic force of the return spring 59 and spring 56, the sleeve 52 and the insertion post 54 are reset. When the insertion post 54 is misaligned with the adjacent insertion hole 55, the semi-circular end of the insertion post 54 is reset to the state of contact with the inner wall of the vertical shell 3. Then, the guardrail 1 is adjusted up and down. When the insertion post 54 coincides with the adjacent insertion hole 55, the semi-circular end of the insertion post 54 is fully reset to the state of being inserted into the insertion hole 55. The left and right ends of the guardrail 1 are limited to the vertical shell 3, restricting the up and down movement of the guardrail 1. The cover 6 is removed periodically, and the slide post 2 is pulled out from the opening at the top of the vertical shell 3. The return spring 59 and spring 56 are replaced or maintained to ensure the normal operation of the return spring 59 and spring 56.
[0022] The working principle of the adjustable straddle for animal training provided by this utility model is as follows: During animal training, the entire unit can be placed on the ground. The animal can then traverse the straddle board 1. Depending on training needs, the middle of the unit consisting of the board 1 and the sliding plate 51 can be grasped with one hand. The sliding plate 51 is pushed upwards within the groove on the lower surface of the board 1, overcoming the elasticity of the return spring 59. This causes the sleeve 52 to slide relative to the sliding post 2, and the limiting plate 53 to move upwards. The inclined groove on the surface of the limiting plate 53 applies a force to the cylinder 57 in the direction close to the sliding post 2, overcoming the elasticity of the spring 56. This causes the cylinder 57 to push the semi-circular end of the insertion post 54 towards the sliding post 2 until the semi-circular end of the insertion post 54... When the head leaves the inside of the socket 55, the two ends of the guard plate 1 are simultaneously disconnected from the limiting connection with the vertical shell 3. At this time, the sliding column 2 can be pulled to slide vertically inside the vertical shell 3 to adjust the up and down position of the guard plate 1. After the adjustment is completed, the pressure on the sliding plate 51 is released. Under the elastic force of the return spring 59 and the spring 56, the sleeve 52 and the insertion post 54 are reset. When the insertion post 54 is misaligned with the adjacent socket 55, the semi-circular end of the insertion post 54 is reset to the state of contact with the inner wall of the vertical shell 3. Then, the guard plate 1 is finely adjusted up and down. When the insertion post 54 coincides with the adjacent socket 55, the semi-circular end of the insertion post 54 is completely reset to the state of being inserted into the socket 55. The left and right ends of the guard plate 1 are limited to the vertical shell 3, restricting the up and down movement of the guard plate 1.
[0023] The above are merely embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
