Dual-Mode Dog Training Receiver With Bark Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing dog training and bark stopping devices are separate electronic products, lacking a unified solution that can effectively address both training and excessive barking issues in a single device, often leading to insecurely trained dogs that may bite due to fear-based obedience and frequent barking disruptions.
Innovation Solution
A dual-purpose dog training device with a remote controller and receiver that switches between dog training and bark stopping modes using a vibration motor, ultrasonic generator, or electric shock electrode, incorporating a function switching key and a double-touch switch module to reduce misjudgment and conserve power by operating in one mode at a time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If separate dog training device and bark stopping device are used, then each device can be optimized for its specific function, but it increases device complexity and requires carrying multiple devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines a dog training device and a bark stopping device into a single integrated receiver unit. The receiver includes a control unit that can switch between training mode and bark stopping mode, allowing both functions to be performed by one device rather than requiring separate devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The receiver is designed as a universal device that performs multiple functions: it can operate as a dog training device with remote control for behavioral training, and as a bark stopping device with automatic sound detection and pickup. The control unit automatically switches between functions based on the operational mode.
2Extent of automation
If automatic bark stopping detection is implemented, then barking can be stopped automatically, but it increases the risk of misjudgment and false triggering
Solution Approach 1:
The bark stopping function uses a pickup that detects bark sounds and provides feedback to the control unit. The control unit analyzes the detected sound signals and only triggers the warning or punishment when it determines the sound matches bark characteristics, reducing false positives from other noises.
3Ease of operation
If remote controller is kept on continuously for training operations, then training control is always available, but it increases power consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The remote controller is designed to be turned off when not in use and only activated when training operations are needed. The receiver can operate in bark stopping mode automatically without the remote controller being on, and the remote controller is only powered on when the user needs to perform training functions.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The device effectively trains dogs and stops excessive barking by switching between modes, reducing insecurity and barking frequency, while preventing signal errors and power consumption, thereby enhancing dog training and habit development.
Implementation Method 1
The receiver includes a main control board connected to at least one of a vibration motor or an ultrasonic generator or an electric shock electrode
Implementation Method 2
The receiver includes a main control board connected to at least one of a vibration motor or an ultrasonic generator or an electric shock electrode
Implementation Method 3
The receiver is further provided with a pickup. The pickup is connected to the bark stopping control unit. After receiving a sound signal of barking from a pet dog when the receiver is in the bark stopping mode, the pickup issues an electric signal to the bark stopping control unit

AI summary
The utility model discloses a dual-purpose dog training device including a remote controller and a receiver. The remote controller is provided with a function switching key. A main control board is connected to at least one of a vibration motor or an ultrasonic generator or an electric shock electrode. The main control board is provided with a dog training control unit and a bark stopping control unit, respectively. The dog training control unit or the bark stopping control unit is separately connected to the vibration motor or the ultrasonic generator or the electric shock electrode, respectively. The main control board receives an instruction of the function switching key to switch a control unit for controlling the vibration motor or the ultrasonic generator or the electric shock electrode between the dog training control unit and the bark stopping control unit, so as to switch an operating mode of the receiver between a dog training mode and a bark stopping mode. The dual-purpose dog training device provided by the utility model may be used as both a dog training device and a bark stopping device. By pressing the function switching key, the receiver may be switched between two function modes of the dog training device and the bark stopping device.
