Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet training equipment technology, and in particular to an ultrasonic pet dog trainer. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, more and more people are choosing to keep pet dogs for companionship. However, pet dogs may exhibit some undesirable behaviors during their growth, such as excessive barking, jumping on people, and chewing objects. These behaviors not only affect the owner's life but may also disturb others. To correct these undesirable behaviors in pet dogs, various pet training devices have appeared on the market.

[0003] Traditional pet trainers sometimes use electric shocks as a punishment to correct undesirable behaviors in dogs. However, electric shocks cause physical pain and psychological fear, potentially leading to anxiety, depression, and other negative emotions, impacting the dog's mental and physical health. Long-term use of electric shocks for training can also damage the trust between the dog and its owner. Furthermore, the use of electric shock modules carries certain safety risks; improper current control can cause serious physical harm to the dog. Therefore, a safer and more humane method of dog training and a corresponding trainer are needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above problems, this utility model proposes an ultrasonic dog trainer that overcomes or at least partially solves the above problems. By using ultrasound instead of traditional electric shocks to correct undesirable behaviors in dogs, it avoids causing physical and psychological harm to the dogs, while effectively training them and improving their bad habits.

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model discloses an ultrasonic pet dog trainer, comprising:

[0006] The trainer has a wearing structure that is attached to the training target dog, and contains a first wireless communication module, a training module including at least an ultrasonic wave generating unit, a detection module, and a first power supply module that provides power to the internal modules of the trainer.

[0007] The remote control includes a second wireless communication module adapted to the first wireless communication module, a control module, a trigger module having at least one button, and a second power supply module that provides power to the internal modules of the remote control.

[0008] The triggering module and the second wireless communication module are electrically connected to the control module;

[0009] When the trainer is started or woken up, the first wireless communication module is electrically connected to the second wireless communication module.

[0010] Preferably, the detection module is a sound sensor for detecting the barking sounds of pet dogs;

[0011] When the detected sound intensity and frequency meet the preset barking conditions, the training module is triggered to emit ultrasonic waves or electric shocks (active mode). Alternatively, the signal path from the sound sensor to the first wireless communication module, then to the second wireless communication module, and finally to the control module is triggered to send a trigger signal to the control module (passive mode). The pet owner decides whether to punish the pet. When punishment is required, pressing the corresponding button will return a control signal through the signal path, which will then activate the training module to emit ultrasonic waves or electric shocks.

[0012] Preferably, the detection module is a motion sensor used to detect specific actions of a pet dog;

[0013] When a specific action of the pet dog is detected, a signal path is triggered from the motion sensor to the first wireless communication module, then to the second wireless communication module, and finally to the control module. This is used to detect specific actions of the pet dog, such as jumping on people or tearing objects. When a specific action is detected, a trigger signal is sent to the control module.

[0014] Preferably, the ultrasonic generating unit includes an ultrasonic generator and an ultrasonic transducer;

[0015] The ultrasonic generator is electrically connected to the ultrasonic transducer and the first wireless communication mode.

[0016] Preferably, it further includes an adjustment module; the adjustment module is electrically connected to the control module and is used to adjust the frequency, intensity and duration of the ultrasonic waves emitted by the ultrasonic transmitting module.

[0017] Preferably, both the first power module and the second power module include a rechargeable battery and a corresponding power management circuit.

[0018] The power management circuit includes a charging interface, which is electrically connected to the rechargeable battery through the power management circuit.

[0019] Preferably, the wearing structure is an adjustable strap for wearing the trainer on the dog's neck or other parts of its body.

[0020] Preferably, the first wireless communication module and the second wireless communication module are LoRa communication modules;

[0021] The communication frequency of the LORA communication module is 433.92MHz.

[0022] Preferably, the training module further includes a vibration unit, a buzzer unit, and an electric shock unit.

[0023] This utility model has the following advantages:

[0024] The trainer includes a wearing structure that attaches to the target dog. It contains a first wireless communication module, a training module (including at least one ultrasonic wave generator), a detection module, and a first power supply module that provides power to the trainer's internal modules. A remote control includes a second wireless communication module adapted to the first wireless communication module, a control module, a trigger module with at least one button, and a second power supply module that provides power to the remote control's internal modules. The trigger module and the second wireless communication module are electrically connected to the control module. When the trainer is activated or awakened, the first wireless communication module and the second wireless communication module are electrically connected. By incorporating the control module, ultrasonic wave generator, power supply module, and detection module, a complete dog training system is constructed. The detection module monitors the dog's behavior in real time, the control module precisely controls the ultrasonic wave generator based on the monitoring results, and the power supply module ensures the stable operation of the entire system. This design enables the intervention of undesirable dog behaviors using ultrasound, avoiding the harm caused by electric shock. For example, when a pet dog barks excessively indoors, the detection module detects the barking behavior and transmits the information to the control module. The control module then controls the ultrasonic transmitter module to emit ultrasonic waves. The pet dog will stop barking after hearing the ultrasonic waves, and the pet dog will not suffer any physical pain during the entire process. Attached Figure Description

[0036] 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.

[0037] Reference Figures 1 to 11 As shown, this utility model provides an embodiment of an ultrasonic pet dog trainer, which specifically includes: a trainer having a wearing structure for binding to a target pet dog, and containing a first wireless communication module, a training module including at least an ultrasonic wave generating unit, a detection module, and a first power supply module for providing power to the internal modules of the trainer; a remote control having a second wireless communication module adapted to the first wireless communication module, a control module, a trigger module having at least one button, and a second power supply module for providing power to the internal modules of the remote control; the trigger module and the second wireless communication module are electrically connected to the control module; when the trainer is started or awakened, the first wireless communication module and the second wireless communication module are electrically connected.

[0038] This application utilizes a modular design for the trainer and remote control, along with wireless communication adaptation, to achieve remote training and control of pet dogs. The wearing structure ensures stable and secure mounting of the device, and the power module supports repeated charging, enhancing ease of use. For example, owners can trigger the trainer remotely outdoors, correcting undesirable behaviors without close contact with the pet, making it suitable for open environments such as parks and grassy areas.

[0039] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5As shown, the detection module is a sound sensor used to detect the barking of pet dogs. When the detected sound intensity and frequency meet preset barking conditions, an active punishment mode or a passive mode can be triggered. For example, in active mode, the training module is directly activated, emitting ultrasonic waves, sounds, or electric shocks. In passive mode, the signal path from the sound sensor to the first wireless communication module, then to the second wireless communication module, and finally to the control module is used to send a trigger signal to the control module, which in turn sends the signal to the remote control. This allows for manual control; when the owner perceives inappropriate behavior from the pet at close range, they can directly press the remote control to emit ultrasonic waves, sounds, or electric shocks. Furthermore, in active mode, records can be transmitted back, such as when and where the punishment mechanism was triggered, as a log for easy reference. The sound sensor accurately identifies pet barking behavior, and the signal path design ensures efficient transmission of trigger commands. When a pet barks at night, disturbing the peace, the sensor detects a suitable sound signal and quickly triggers ultrasonic intervention via the communication module, automatically stopping the barking without manual intervention.

[0040] It should be noted that the storage of data such as signals and logs can be achieved using conventional storage circuits.

[0041] In some embodiments of this application, the detection module is a motion sensor for detecting specific actions of a pet dog. When a specific action of the pet dog is detected, a signal path is triggered from the motion sensor to the first wireless communication module, then to the second wireless communication module, and finally to the control module to detect the specific action of the pet dog, such as pouncing on people or biting objects. When a specific action is detected, a trigger signal is sent to the control module. The motion sensor can capture dangerous actions such as pouncing on people or biting in real time and trigger intervention through the signal path. For example, when a pet attempts to bite furniture, after the sensor detects the action, the trainer immediately emits ultrasonic waves to form a conditioned reflex training and reduce destructive behavior.

[0042] In some embodiments of this application, the ultrasonic generating unit includes an ultrasonic generator and an ultrasonic transducer; the ultrasonic generator is electrically connected to the ultrasonic transducer and the first wireless communication module. The ultrasonic generator generates an electrical signal of a specific frequency according to instructions from the control module, and the ultrasonic transducer converts the electrical signal into ultrasonic waves and emits them. Figure 1 As shown, the ultrasonic generator unit's generator and transducer work together to ensure stable ultrasonic output. Compared to traditional electric shock methods, ultrasonic waves cause no physical harm, are more humane, and are less likely to trigger stress reactions in pets, making them suitable for long-term training.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 9As shown, it also includes an adjustment module; the adjustment module is electrically connected to the control module and is used to adjust the frequency, intensity, and duration of the ultrasonic waves emitted by the ultrasonic transmitting module. The adjustment module allows users to adjust the ultrasonic parameters (such as frequency and intensity) according to the pet's size and personality. For example, the intensity can be reduced for small dogs and appropriately increased for large dogs to avoid poor training results due to a single parameter.

[0044] In some embodiments of this application, both the first power module and the second power module include a rechargeable battery and a corresponding power management circuit. The power management circuit includes a charging interface, which is electrically connected to the rechargeable battery through the power management circuit. The rechargeable battery and power management circuit reduce the inconvenience of frequent battery replacements, and the Type-C interface is compatible with common chargers, improving charging convenience. Actual battery life is tested to be over 7 days, meeting daily training needs.

[0045] Furthermore, the wearing structure is an adjustable strap for attaching the trainer to the dog's neck or other parts of its body. The adjustable strap is suitable for pets of different sizes (such as Poodles to Golden Retrievers), ensuring a secure fit without restricting the pet's movement. The strap is made of breathable material to prevent discomfort caused by prolonged wear.

[0046] The first and second wireless communication modules are LoRa communication modules; the communication frequency of the LoRa communication modules is 433.92MHz. These LoRa communication modules, with a communication frequency of 433.92MHz, have a communication distance of over 500 meters and strong resistance to obstacle interference. Even in outdoor environments with forests or building obstructions, the signal can still be transmitted stably, solving the problem of short distance in traditional radio frequency communication.

[0047] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the training module also includes a vibration unit and a buzzer unit. The training module integrates ultrasonic waves, vibration, buzzer functions, and an electric shock unit, enabling tiered training. For example, mild misbehavior triggers a buzzer, while severe misbehavior is combined with ultrasonic waves, vibration, and electric shocks, gradually guiding the pet to form good habits.

[0048] As an example, the pet dog trainer in this embodiment mainly consists of a control module, an ultrasonic transmitting module, a power supply module, and a sound sensor (detection module). The control module preferably uses a microcontroller with an HT1621B chip, which has powerful data processing capabilities and abundant interface resources, enabling it to quickly and accurately process signals transmitted from the sound sensor and control the operation of the ultrasonic transmitting module. The ultrasonic generator in the ultrasonic transmitting module uses a CM003 chip, and the ultrasonic transducer can efficiently convert electrical signals into ultrasonic waves for transmission. The power supply module uses a rechargeable lithium battery to provide stable power to the entire trainer. The sound sensor uses a microphone with high sensitivity and strong anti-interference capabilities, capable of accurately detecting the dog's barking sounds.

[0049] The sound sensor monitors ambient sound signals in real time and transmits them to the control module. The control module analyzes the received sound signals to determine if the sound intensity and frequency meet preset conditions for a dog barking. If it determines the dog is barking, the control module immediately sends a command to the ultrasonic transmitter module. The ultrasonic generator produces an electrical signal of a specific frequency according to the control module's command. This signal is converted into ultrasonic waves by the ultrasonic transducer and then emitted. Upon hearing the ultrasonic waves, the dog will stop barking due to discomfort. Throughout this process, the power module continuously supplies power to all modules, ensuring the trainer's normal operation.

[0050] The remote control for the aforementioned trainer, such as Figure 9 As shown, it also features an adjustment module that interacts with the user through an operation panel. The operation panel has multiple adjustment buttons for adjusting the frequency, intensity, and duration of the ultrasound waves. Users can adjust these settings according to their pet dog's individual needs. For example, if the dog's response to the current ultrasound is weak, the user can increase the intensity; if the dog is overly sensitive, the user can decrease the frequency and duration. The adjustment module transmits the user's commands to the control module, which then adjusts the operating parameters of the ultrasound transmitter module accordingly. The power module uses a common Type-C charging interface. Users simply need to connect the trainer to an external power source (such as a phone charger or power bank) using a Type-C charging cable to charge the rechargeable lithium battery. During charging, the charging indicator light on the trainer will illuminate, showing the charging status. When the battery is fully charged, the charging indicator light will change color or turn off to indicate that charging is complete.

[0051] This trainer uses a collar-style wearing structure. The collar is made of a soft material, such as silicone or nylon, to ensure the dog's comfort. The main body of the trainer is attached to one side of the collar using clips or Velcro. A sound sensor is located on the side of the trainer's main body near the dog's mouth for better detection of barks. The collar length is adjustable to fit the dog's neck size, ensuring a proper fit that is neither too tight nor too loose.

[0052] As an example, the ultrasonic dog trainer includes a control module, an ultrasonic transmitting module, a power supply module, and a motion sensor (detection module). The control module preferably uses an HT1621B chip as its microcontroller. The ultrasonic transmitter and transducer of the ultrasonic transmitting module are the same as in Example 1. The power supply module also uses a rechargeable lithium battery. The motion sensor is an inertial sensor capable of detecting various movements; it can detect the dog's acceleration, angular velocity, and other information to determine if the dog has performed a specific undesirable action. The motion sensor collects the dog's motion data in real time and transmits the data to the control module. The control module uses a built-in algorithm to analyze the motion data and determine if the dog has exhibited undesirable actions such as jumping on people or biting objects. Once an undesirable action is detected, the control module immediately sends a command to the ultrasonic transmitting module, causing it to emit ultrasonic waves to stop the dog's undesirable behavior. The power supply module provides power to all modules throughout the process.

[0053] The trainer in this embodiment also includes an adjustment module and an operation panel. Users can adjust the frequency, intensity, and duration of the ultrasound waves via the operation panel to suit the needs of different dogs and training scenarios. The adjustment module transmits the user's adjustment commands to the control module, which then adjusts the operating parameters of the ultrasound transmitting module accordingly. The charging interface also uses a Type-C interface, and the charging method and charging indicator light settings are the same as in Embodiment 1. The trainer's wearing structure is also a collar type, but the installation position on the collar is different. The motion sensor is located on the side of the trainer body closer to the dog's active body parts for more accurate detection of the dog's movements. The trainer body is securely mounted on the collar using a fastening device to ensure it won't fall off during the dog's activities. The collar's material and adjustment method are consistent with the embodiment, ensuring comfort and a proper fit.

[0054] The aforementioned remote control also includes a display screen, which is electrically connected to the control module. The display screen is also electrically connected to, for example,... Figure 11 The backlight circuit shown enables screen brightness adjustment control.

[0055] As an example, the aforementioned ultrasonic dog trainer can also be a dog trainer with multiple detection functions; specifically, it integrates a sound sensor and a motion sensor as detection modules, and also includes a control module, an ultrasonic transmitting module, and a power supply module. The control module, ultrasonic transmitting module, and power supply module are the same as in the previous embodiment. The sound sensor and motion sensor are electrically connected to the control module, transmitting their respective detected signals to the control module.

[0056] The sound and motion sensors work simultaneously to monitor the dog's sounds and movements in real time. The control module comprehensively analyzes the signals transmitted from both sensors. When the sound sensor detects the dog barking or the motion sensor detects an inappropriate action, the control module sends a command to the ultrasonic transmitter module to emit ultrasonic waves. For example, when the dog barks and jumps on someone, both the sound and motion sensors will detect the corresponding signals. Upon receiving these two signals, the control module will more quickly activate the ultrasonic transmitter module, enhancing the effectiveness of stopping the dog's undesirable behavior.

[0057] The adjustment module and operation panel are set up in the same way as in the previous embodiment. Users can adjust the frequency, intensity and duration of the ultrasound through the operation panel to meet different training needs.

[0058] The wearable structure is a collar type, with sound and motion sensors installed in appropriate positions near the dog's mouth and other frequently moving parts of its body, respectively, to ensure accurate detection. The trainer body is reliably secured to the collar, and the collar's material and adjustment mechanism ensure a comfortable and proper fit for the dog.

[0059] In practical applications, background noise and pet dog behavior may vary in different environments. To ensure that the detection module can accurately detect undesirable behaviors while avoiding false triggers, the detection module can be equipped with a sensitivity adjustment function. For example, the sound sensor can automatically adjust its detection sensitivity based on the level of ambient noise through software algorithms or hardware adjustment circuits, or the user can manually adjust the sensitivity through the settings button on the trainer. The motion sensor can also be set with different motion detection thresholds to adapt to the different range of motion and habits of different pet dogs.

[0060] When designing the ultrasonic transmitting module, it is necessary to ensure that the frequency and intensity of the emitted ultrasonic waves are within a safe range, serving as a warning to the dog without harming its hearing or physical health. Based on relevant research and animal experiments, the ultrasonic frequency range in this invention is set at 20kHz-50kHz. During actual production and use, the parameters of the ultrasonic transmitting module must be strictly controlled to ensure it operates within a safe range. To prevent the trainer from being falsely triggered by non-dog misbehavior, in addition to adjusting the sensitivity of the detection module, multiple signal fusion and judgment methods can be employed. For example, for sound signals detected by the sound sensor, the control module can analyze not only the intensity and frequency of the sound but also its duration and variation patterns. Only when these characteristics match the typical features of a dog barking is it determined to be a dog barking and the ultrasonic transmitting module triggered. For motion signals detected by the motion sensor, the control module can combine multiple directional acceleration and angular velocity changes, as well as the continuity of the movement, for a comprehensive judgment to avoid false triggering due to normal dog activity. Considering the daily activities of dogs, the trainer needs to possess a certain degree of durability and waterproofing. The trainer's casing can be made of sturdy, wear-resistant materials, such as high-strength plastic or metal. At the same time, all interfaces and gaps in the trainer are sealed to ensure that the internal electronic components are not damaged when the dog plays, exercises, or encounters humid environments such as rain, guaranteeing the trainer's long-term stable operation.

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.
