Detailed Implementation

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 3The illustration depicts a specific embodiment of a pet harness sensing device. In this embodiment, the pet harness sensing device includes a neck strap (not shown), a chest strap 20, and a sensing module 40.

[0025] In one embodiment, the neck strap and chest strap 20 can be different parts of the same strap, therefore... Figure 1 The implementation sample only shows a portion of the strap. The chest strap 20 includes a strap body 21, and the two ends of the strap body 21 are provided with fasteners 231 and 232. As a specific example, the fasteners 231 and 232 can be a group of elastic fastening components, and the fasteners 231 and 232 are combined with each other to form a ring structure of the chest strap 20.

[0026] In addition, in this embodiment, the adjustment member 251 is provided on the harness 21 to adjust the length of the chest strap 20 so that the harness can adapt to pets of different sizes.

[0027] The sensing module 40 includes an antenna 41 and a connector. The antenna 41 can be installed within the strip 21, for example, the strip 21 is formed by two overlapping strips, and the antenna 41 is located in the cavity formed between the two strips. However, the way the antenna 41 is positioned in the strip 21 is not limited to this.

[0028] Antenna 41 is responsible for collecting the pet's physiological signals 411, and the connector of the sensing module 40 transmits the physiological signals 411 to the host 50. The connector includes a first positioning member 43 and an electrical connector 45. The first positioning member 43 is used to position itself on the corresponding second connector 53 on the host 50, and the electrical connector 45 transmits the physiological signals 411 collected by the antenna 41 to the host 50. The host 50 includes a processing module 55, which receives and analyzes the physiological signals 411 from the sensing module 40.

[0029] As an example, the physiological signal detection in this embodiment employs pulsed ultra-wideband sensing technology. A transmitting antenna sends a detection signal to the object under test. The physiological activities of the object, such as a heartbeat, cause minute displacements in the chest cavity, resulting in a phase change in the reflected electromagnetic waves. A receiving antenna receives these reflected signals, and the system analyzes the phase difference changes to calculate the heartbeat frequency.

[0030] Traditional sensors are typically mounted on the outside or top of the harness, but this doesn't help in detecting specific signals. Furthermore, if the sensor is too large or heavy, or if it's only secured to the pet by the collar, it may shift due to vibrations from the pet's movements or gravity. The sensor's placement might also make the pet uncomfortable, leading them to deliberately shake it to an undesirable location.

[0031] Please refer to this as well. Figure 4In this embodiment, the chest strap 20 is configured such that when the pet wears the entire pet harness sensing device, at least a portion of the chest strap 20 is configured to span across the left front chest of the pet, such that at least a portion of the antenna 41 inside the chest strap 20 also spans across the left front chest of the pet.

[0032] Simultaneously, by placing the collar 10 around the pet's neck, the antenna 41 can be directly positioned to correspond to the pet's heart, making the reception of the measured heartbeat signal more accurate and improving the accuracy and reliability of physiological monitoring.

[0033] Signal strength is closely related to the distance between the antenna and the heart; therefore, accurate location of the pet's heart is crucial for sensor detection. Taking four-legged pets like cats and dogs as examples, the heart is located on the left side of the front chest, approximately between the two front legs, slightly to the left of the thoracic cavity. Specifically, the heart is located approximately between the 3rd and 6th ribs. When the pet is standing, the heart is roughly on the left side of the front chest, about slightly to the left of the base of the front legs.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 This is another embodiment of the pet harness sensing device. In this embodiment, a single strap body is divided into two parts, forming a neck strap 10 and a chest strap 20. The single strap body is sewn together in the middle, and fasteners 231 and 232 are provided at both ends of the strap body. The loop structure formed by the sewing of the middle part of the strap body is the neck strap 10, and the loop structure formed by combining the fasteners 231 and 232 at both ends is the chest strap 20. The user can put the neck strap 10 around the pet's neck, then wrap the back end of the chest strap 20 around the pet's chest cavity, and then fasten the fasteners 231 and 232, so that the pet harness sensing device is worn on the pet.

[0035] Similar to the previous embodiment, the neck strap 10 and chest strap 20 may include their respective adjustment members 111 and 251 for adjusting the length of the neck strap 10 and chest strap 20.

[0036] This embodiment further includes a movable connecting strap 29. The two ends of the movable connecting strap 29 are respectively connected to the neck strap 10 and the chest strap 20, providing additional structural stability. When the pet harness sensor is worn on the pet, the movable connecting strap 29 is positioned in front of the pet's chest, making the harness fit more snugly. The movable connecting strap 29 includes an adjustment member 291 for adjusting the length of the connecting strap 29 to make the harness fit the pet's body shape more closely.

[0037] Antenna 41 is also positioned on the chest strap 20, ensuring that antenna 41 extends to the pet's left anterior chest, as close as possible to the pet's heart H. In this embodiment, Figure 4Taking the direction shown as an example, the pet harness sensor is figure-eight shaped, with the middle of the harness stopping at the back of the pet's neck. The position of the movable connecting strap 29 and the chest strap 20 can determine the position of the chest strap 20 (lower chest strap) and the position of the chest strap 20 (upper chest strap) at the back of the pet's neck. For example, the lower chest strap can be closer to the pet's hind legs than the upper chest strap, allowing the chest strap 20 to tilt. The position of the chest strap 20 can be adjusted to be closer to the pet's heart H.

[0038] Furthermore, since the position of the harness is not easily changed once it is worn on the pet, it also allows the main unit 50 (such as the one installed on the first positioning component 43) to remain in place. Figure 2 (As shown) It is not easily displaced. As a specific example, the first positioning member 43 of the chest strap 20 can be positioned in a location that will not obstruct the pet's movement, such as behind the neck.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 6 to 8 This is the third embodiment of the pet harness sensing device, where the harness adopts a saddle-shaped structure. The chest strap includes a chest strap body 27, which is flat and heart-shaped. The two ends of the neck strap 10 are connected to the chest strap body 27, so that the outline of the neck strap 10 and a portion of the chest strap body 27 forms a loop structure. When the chest strap body 27 bends along the pet's back, it forms a saddle shape, allowing the chest strap body 27 to better conform to the pet's chest contour, providing a more stable wearing experience. The saddle-shaped structure provides a larger contact area and a more stable fixation effect, while also reducing the burden of the harness on the pet.

[0040] In this embodiment, antenna 41 is mounted on the left side of the chest strap body 27. The three-dimensional structure of the chest strap body 27 allows antenna 41 to be closer to the pet's left front chest, improving signal reception.

[0041] Furthermore, the aforementioned adjusting elements 111, 251, and 291 can be D-rings. However, in other embodiments, the adjusting elements can also be D-rings, double D-rings, Velcro, or zippers, providing convenient size adjustment functionality.

[0042] Alternatively, each implementation may optionally include a leash buckle 30 on the neck strap 10 or chest strap 20 for connecting the leash. The location of the leash buckle 30 should take into account the pet's walking habits and the distribution of traction force, and is usually located behind or above the harness.
