Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of scent communication technology for police dogs, and more particularly to a scent communication behavior feedback box for working dogs. Background Technology

[0002] Police dog scent association training is a professional training program centered on establishing a "target scent - specific behavior - reward" association. Its purpose is to enable police dogs to accurately identify, track, and search for designated scents (such as drugs, explosives, bloodstains, suspect scents, etc.) and provide feedback to their handlers through fixed actions. It is the basic training content for police dogs' sniffing operations.

[0003] Traditional scent association training methods, such as the identification can method and the brick pile method, rely too heavily on the trainer's experience. Improper handling by the trainer can lead to dogs scratching, clawing, rubbing, nudging, and licking, which can damage and contaminate the scent source. Unnecessary guiding actions by the trainer can also cause dogs to give false warnings, resulting in low training efficiency. Utility Model Content

It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0017] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0018] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the working dog scent-based behavioral feedback box includes a stainless steel shell 6. The shell opening of the stainless steel shell 6 is located on the back, and several through slots 9 are opened near the bottom edge of the front side panel of the stainless steel shell 6. A scent box 14, which is at the same height as the through slots 9, is slidably installed on the bottom surface of the stainless steel shell 6. The bottom of the scent box 14 is inserted into the bottom surface of the inner side of the stainless steel shell 6. A sliding plate 15 for adjusting the size of the through slots 9 is inserted into the bottom edge of the inner side panel of the front side panel of the stainless steel shell 6. In actual use, gauze mixed with the scent of explosives can be placed into the scent box 14. By inserting the scent box 14 into the bottom surface of the inner side of the stainless steel shell 6, the scent box 14 can be slid until the opening of the box is in contact with the inner wall of the stainless steel shell 6 and covers the through slots 9. The through slots 9 make it convenient for the bomb-sniffing dog to smell the scent. According to the age of the bomb-sniffing dog, the size of the exposed through slots 9 can be adjusted by sliding the sliding plate 15. The larger the diameter of the exposed through slots 9, the greater the difficulty of bomb-sniffing dog training. An upward-sloping tube 7 is fixedly installed between the front edge of the top plate and the front side plate near the top edge of the stainless steel shell 6. The upper and lower openings of the upward-sloping tube 7 are located on the top plate and the front side plate of the stainless steel shell 6, respectively. A reward tube 2 is set at the upper opening of the upward-sloping tube 7. A downward-sloping tube 16 is fixedly installed inside the stainless steel shell 6 near the bottom of the outer circumference of the upward-sloping tube 7. The other end of the downward-sloping tube 16 faces backward and is flush with the shell opening on the rear side of the stainless steel shell 6. Several connecting holes 8 are opened on the inner wall of the upward-sloping tube 7, which communicate with the inside of the downward-sloping tube 16. A hollow tube 18 for placing gauze is built into the other end of the downward-sloping tube 16. In actual use, gauze mixed with the smell of drugs is placed into the hollow tube 18. The drug-sniffing dog can smell the smell of the gauze in the hollow tube 18 through the connecting holes 8 on the surface of the upward-sloping tube 7. In addition, the reward tube 2 used in this solution allows the reward tube 2 to be opened remotely by the personnel after the dog correctly identifies the smell, so that the reward item in the reward tube 2 can fall out.

[0019] A housing 10 is fixedly installed on the body of the reward cylinder 2. The inside of the housing 10 communicates with the inside of the reward cylinder 2, and an electric push rod 11 facing the reward cylinder 2 is fixedly installed inside the housing 10. A baffle 12 is fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the electric push rod 11. The baffle 12 enters and exits the reward cylinder 2, and a reward ball 17 is placed inside the reward cylinder 2. The bottom of the reward cylinder 2 is open, and the bottom end of the reward cylinder 2 is inserted into the upper opening of the inclined tube 7. By arranging relevant equipment inside the housing 10, the electric push rod 11 inside the housing 10 can be remotely controlled to extend and retract by personnel. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the baffle 12 is located inside the reward cylinder 2 and can prevent the reward ball 17 from falling. After the dog correctly identifies the scent, the personnel can remotely control the electric push rod 11 to retract. With the baffle 12 retracted into the housing 10, the reward ball 17 can slide from the reward cylinder 2 into the inclined tube 7 and finally slide out through the inclined tube 7. Furthermore, the reward cylinder 2 used in this design can be removed. When the stainless steel housing 6 is used alone, personnel can directly add dog food or toy balls through the opening at the top of the inclined tube 7. After the dog correctly recognizes the scent, personnel can easily place the reward item through the opening at the top of the inclined tube 7, and then it slides out through the opening at the bottom of the inclined tube 7. In addition, by installing a control device and a battery inside the housing 10, it is convenient to control and power the electric push rod 11. The battery can be easily charged with a charger using a transformer or related components, avoiding the need for an external power cord. The equipment is portable for training and is not limited by power supply.

[0020] An acrylic cover plate 3 is inserted into the rear opening of the stainless steel shell 6. The front side of the acrylic cover plate 3 is slidably connected to the rear opening of the downward inclined tube 16. The installed acrylic cover plate is used to seal the rear opening of the stainless steel shell 10, preventing the odor in the odor box 14 or the hollow tube 18 from overflowing from the rear opening of the stainless steel shell 10.

[0021] The stainless steel casing 6 is equipped with a pipe fixing bracket 1. The front of the pipe fixing bracket 1 has several hanging slots 4 arranged from top to bottom, and a frame 5 is installed on the front of the pipe fixing bracket 1 through the hanging slots 4. Hooks 13 are fixedly installed on both the front and back of the frame 5. The hooks 13 on the back of the frame 5 are inserted into the hanging slots 4 on the pipe fixing bracket 1, and the hooks 13 on the front of the frame 5 are inserted into the left and right sides of the rear shell opening of the stainless steel casing 6. When several stainless steel casings 10 are used in combination, after the pipe fixing bracket 1 is fixed, the frame 5 can be installed by using the hanging slots 4 and hooks 13 to snap together. The hooks 13 on the front of the frame 5 make it convenient for personnel to directly hang the stainless steel casing 10 on the frame 5.

[0022] The method of using this utility model is as follows: Bomb detection dog scent training (1) Preparation stage: Place the gauze mixed with the smell of explosive into the smell box 14, slide the smell box 14 so that its opening is attached to the inner wall of the stainless steel shell 6 and covers the through groove 9 at the bottom edge of the front side plate; slide the slide plate 15 to adjust the size of the exposed hole of the through groove 9. The size of the hole is matched with the training difficulty according to the age of the bomb-sniffing dog (the larger the hole, the higher the difficulty); seal the rear shell opening of the stainless steel shell 6 with the acrylic cover plate 3 to prevent the smell from leaking out.

[0023] (2) Training phase: Bomb detection dogs are brought close to the feedback box and sniffed the smell of explosives through the through slot 9. The trainer observes the dogs’ warning behavior.

[0024] (3) Reward stage: If the dog correctly identifies the scent, it can be rewarded in two ways: First, the electric push rod 11 inside the reward tube 2 is remotely controlled to retract, so that the baffle 12 is retracted into the shell 10, and the reward ball 17 slides from the reward tube 2 into the upper inclined tube 7 and falls from the lower tube opening; Second, the reward tube 2 is removed, and dog food or toy balls are directly put into the upper tube opening of the upper inclined tube 7 and slide out through the upper inclined tube 7 to the dog.

[0025] Drug detection dog scent training (1) Preparation stage: Place the gauze mixed with the drug odor into the hollow tube 18 at the opening of the lower inclined tube 16, and seal the acrylic cover plate 3 to prevent the odor from overflowing from the rear shell opening; the drug odor will diffuse through the lower inclined tube 16 to the connecting hole 8, and then diffuse outward through the connecting hole 8 on the inner wall of the upper inclined tube 7.

[0026] (2) Training phase: Let the drug detection dog approach the feedback box and sniff the drug smell emitted by the upward tube 7. The trainer observes the dog's warning behavior.

[0027] (3) Reward stage: The reward method is the same as that of the bomb-sniffing dog, that is, the reward ball 17 is dropped remotely or the reward item is dropped directly.
