The worm gear 322 performs the same function as the second embodiment in converting rotational power into linear movement power of the wire part, but has a difference in transmitting a force in one direction from the driving part 320 to the wire part.

That is, the third embodiment of the present invention may have an advantage in reducing the load and durability of the motor constituting the drive unit 320 because it is possible to prevent the phenomenon that the tightening force is loosened as a whole in the wire portion undesirably in the contracted drive. have.

In the case of the above-described second and third embodiments, only the selected one of the first wire part 210 and the second wire part 220 may provide power of contraction or relaxation. As shown in FIG. Of course, it can also be configured to increase the efficiency of operation by providing a.

5 is a view for explaining a fourth embodiment of the telescopic drive in the mounting mechanism capable of remote control of the present invention.

In the fourth embodiment of the present invention, there is shown a case in which a double wire is used as a structure having higher operational reliability in stretching and driving. As a ring shape surrounding a part of the pet's body, the wire part may be separated into the inside and the outside of a part or the whole thereof, and the tightening function may be provided while being spaced apart from each other by the driving unit 320.

Specifically, the stretching drive mechanism of the mounting mechanism 200 according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention includes an outer wire portion 225 and an inner wire portion 215 disposed adjacent to an inner circumferential side of the outer wire portion 225. In addition, the connection part 326, which may have a variable contact portion with the outer wire part 225 and the inner wire part 215, may be configured to separate the inner wire part 215 and the outer wire part 225 from each other. It may be made of a drive unit 320 including a spaced member.

Here, the inner wire part 215 and the outer wire part 225 may be formed as a member connected to at least one side, and when the outer wire part 225 is spaced apart in the circumferential direction by the operation of the driving part 320, the connection part 326 side. A portion of the length that constituted the inner wire part 215 constitutes the outer wire part 225 while providing a tightening function.

In the illustrated example, the outer wire part 225 and the inner wire part 215 are formed in a closed curve shape, and the connection part 326 is provided at both sides so that a part of the wire part may be moved in the inner and outer circumferential directions at both ends. The connection part 326 may be configured in the form of a roller and various known configurations may be applied to reduce the frictional force while the contact part with the wire part is variable.

In addition, the position of the connection portion 326 may be optional depending on the required length of the band constituting the outer wire portion 225 and the inner wire portion 215, in the example shown in the figure centered on the driving unit 320 When forming a circular shape as it may be arranged on both sides approximately 90 degrees to this. The position of the connection part 326 may be further adjacent to the driving unit 320 side and may be directly connected to the fastening member 230 in some cases.

In the illustrated embodiment, since the inner wire part 215 and the outer wire part 225 are disposed at the front side, the first wire part 210 and the second wire part 220 and the connection part 326 which do not vary in radius. In each can be extended. In this case, the fastening member may be disposed at end portions of the first wire part 210 and the second wire part 220.

The length adjusting part 340 may be further disposed to adjust the initial length of the first wire part 210 or the second wire part 220, and the length adjusting part 340 may be various embodiments described in the present invention. Can be applied.

As described above, the inner wire part 215 and the outer wire part 225 are fastened by shortening the length of the inner wire part 215 while being radially spaced from each other while being connected to each other at the connection part 326 side. Since the driving unit 320 may be provided with a spacer, the distance between the inner wire part 215 and the outer wire part 225 may be adjusted.

Preferably, the spacer member may be formed of a screw 325 having a thread formed on the outer circumference. The screw 325 moves both ends of the inner wire part 215 from the connecting part 326 to the outer wire part 225 while separating the outer wire part 225 toward the outer circumferential side. As an example, the screw 325 is connected to the motor of the drive unit 320 and rotates, the nut side end is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the inner wire portion 215 and the outer peripheral surface is formed on the outer wire portion 225 Can be inserted into (not shown) to convert the rotational motion to linear motion.

The control and communication unit 330 includes a communication unit 331 to communicate with the user terminal 100 in a wired or wireless manner, and in some cases, the communication unit 331 does not directly communicate with the user terminal 100. Communication may be performed through a predetermined server or relay network or for the purpose of reaching information about the same. Duplicate explanations regarding this communication method will be omitted.

If a predetermined server is additionally provided, as described below, information about the behavior of the companion animal or the operation of the mounting mechanism 200 according to the alarm may be managed by a database, and subsequently by the user terminal 100. Previous data may be available for verification.

The communication unit 331 basically receives the control input of the user terminal 100, and when it is determined whether the wire part is contracted or relaxed by the drive determination unit 332, a control signal to the drive unit 320 through the alarm unit 335. Function to output

The alarm unit 335 basically provides an alarm to the companion animal as an operation for stretching the wire unit, but the mounting mechanism 200 of the present invention may additionally perform an alarm through sound or light emission with a tightening function. And for this purpose, the alarm unit 335 may provide various types of alarms selectively or additionally through a method such as tightening, sound generation, or light generation.

The alarm unit 335 may provide an alarm signal to a third party or pet through the alarm sound generating means or the light emitting means when the operation of the expansion unit 310 by the driving unit 320 or the call by the user terminal, For this alarm, the main body 300 may include various known alarm sound generating means and light emitting means as shown.

When providing an alarm through the alarm sound or light emission with the tightening function there is an advantage that the efficiency can be maximized in the training of the companion animal.

On the other hand, the tension unit 310 or the driving unit 320 side may be provided with a tension detection means for determining the tension provided to the wire portion, the control and communication unit 330 through the tension detection signal of the stretch operation The tension detection unit 333 may be included to determine the degree or timing.

For example, when the communication unit 331 receives this by the tightening control input of the user terminal 100 and transmits a tightening signal to the driving unit 320, the tightening occurs in the wire part and the tightening is continuously added. There is a risk of injury. Although the case of setting the tightening length in advance may be considered, in this case, it may not be possible to flexibly cope with the change if the tightening degree is uniformly set by ignoring the conditions such as neck circumference or the inflow of foreign objects. There is a need to actively determine the tension provided by the wire portion.

Accordingly, the tension detector 333 may function to detect whether the tension is increased in the wire part so that the driving decision part 332 determines whether to drive additionally or loosen.

To this end, the tension detecting means may be selectively disposed on the wire portion, the elastic portion 310 or the driving unit 320 side, in general, since the driving unit 320 may be made of a motor, the tension is detected by detecting the load on the motor side. It can be measured.

As one embodiment of the tension detection means drive unit 320 may be provided with an encoder for detecting the rotational speed or rotational speed, such an encoder, as the tightening continues, for example, to the pressing force provided to the neck when tightening the collar The rotational resistance is generated by the corresponding repulsive force, and the tension can be measured by detecting the rotational resistance leading to a decrease in the rotational speed.

As another embodiment of the tension detecting means may be a power detecting means connected to the driving unit 320, in this case, it is possible to measure the load change by detecting the change in power generated by the load of the motor to measure the change in tension. The power detection means may be provided in the control and communication unit 330.

However, various tension detecting means may be applied in addition to the above embodiments.

On the other hand, the control input of the user terminal 100 to determine how much to maintain the degree of tightening after the start of the tightening function, from which point to relax, repeat the stretching operation or how to maintain the interval between expansion and the like, etc. The driving determination unit 332 is provided.

The driving determining unit 332 may function to automatically tighten when a predetermined tightening condition is met as well as when there is a control input, and the tightening condition may be, for example, with the user terminal 100. It may be out of the communication range. In this regard, a more detailed description will be made later.

In order to determine the distance between the user terminal 100 and the mounting mechanism 200, the distance determining unit 334 may be further provided in the control and communication unit 330, which may basically mean a communication range.

In addition, the distance determining unit 334 may measure the absolute distance through the GPS signal from the set position, for this purpose, the main body 300 may be further provided with a GPS module.

In addition, the distance determining unit 334 may of course track the position of the GPS module provided in the user terminal 100. Smartphones or tablet PCs are often provided with a GPS module therein, and the relative distance can be more easily measured when tracking the position of the user terminal 100 and the position of the mounting apparatus 200 through satellites.

However, in the case of a commercially available GPS module, since there is an error in the position to some extent, it is preferable to measure the distance by measuring the received radio wave strength between the user terminal 100 and the mounting apparatus 200 for distance determination. Modules can be used to compensate for this.

The distance from the user terminal 100 or the distance from the set reference position determined in this way is measured and transmitted as data to the driving determination unit 332, and the driving determination unit 332 is outside of a predetermined communication range or restriction range. In this case, the companion animal may start the operation of the driving unit 320 or the like so as to receive a warning signal or a tightening signal.

The control and communication unit 330 may additionally include an acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, a heart rate sensor, a blood flow sensor, etc. for measuring the amount of exercise of the companion animal, and the information on the measured amount of exercise is transmitted to the user terminal 100. Can be utilized as cumulative data.

Hereinafter will be described a control method by the mounting mechanism according to the above configuration.

In the first embodiment of the present invention will be described an example in which the control and communication unit 330 is operated by the control input from the user terminal (100). As described above, the user terminal 100 may be a controller in various forms in which a control command may be input by touch or button input.

When a command for tightening is input by the user terminal 100 (S100), the communication unit 331 of the control and communication unit 330 receives this, drives the driving unit 320 through the alarm unit 335, and expands and contracts the 310. To start the tension drive (S2100).

Tension driving may be performed according to a predetermined time condition, as described above, determination of tension may be performed to prevent injury according to the condition or environment of the pet, and adjustment of tension may be performed accordingly. Therefore, the tension determination step S220 may be added by feedback, and the tension determination may be made in the tension detection unit 333 according to the detection signal of the tension detection means. The measured tension t1 derived from the tension detection unit 333 is determined whether the tension is greater than or equal to the reference value, that is, the contraction is excessively performed through the contrast with the set tension ts. Therefore, when it is determined that the measured tension t1 is equal to or greater than the set tension ts, the tension driving may be stopped (S230).

The stop of the tension driving (S230) may include a concept of the operation of the driving unit 320 for the relaxation driving.

On the other hand, under the condition that the tension drive is stopped and the contraction operation is no longer performed, the determination step S300 for a predetermined elapsed time may be further passed, and the determination of the elapsed time may be performed by the driving determination unit 332. Can be. That is, when it is determined that the measured tension time m1 is greater than the set time ms, the relaxation driving S400 may be performed.

Here, in one embodiment, in the tension determination (S220) it is determined whether to stop the operation in a state in which the operation of the drive unit 320 continues to be feedback, and in the elapsed time determination feedback of the drive unit 320 is feedback. The difference is in determining whether to remain tightened in the stopped state.

In some cases, the determination of the tension and the determination of the elapsed time may be replaced or selectively arranged.

The second embodiment of the present invention provides a concept of the stretching operation to repeat the tension and relaxation.

A simple increase in tension and relaxation may be mild in stimulation in that it gives some control or sanction to the pet. That is, because the sense is adapted, an increase in a certain amount of tightening or an increase in a certain acceleration may not be accepted as an alarm over time, and in consideration of this, the second embodiment provides a vibration form as a form of tightening and relaxation. Provide a more active stimulus concept.

As described above, when a stretch command that is a control input is input through the user terminal 100 (S110), the driving unit 320 starts stretching operation according to the output signal of the driving determination unit 332 (S240).

This stretching drive means that the wire part is repeatedly contracted and relaxed in the drive unit 320.

Here, although there may be a contrast of the measured tension with respect to the predetermined set tension, the determination of the elapsed time (S250) has a more important meaning in that the degree is small. The determination of the elapsed time may determine whether the expansion time m1 is greater with respect to the set time ms as described above, and stop the expansion and contraction operation if it satisfies this (S260).

On the other hand, the above example is a case where the mounting mechanism 200 is driven in accordance with the control input of the user terminal 100, when the user terminal 100 and the mounting mechanism 200 is connected in a wireless manner, the pet is controlled If the range is out of range, remote control is impossible.

In consideration of the above-described problem, the driving determination unit 332 may automatically start or expand the tension or drive when the control unit 332 is out of the controllable range or the set range through the predetermined distance determination S500.

Thus, the distance determination (S500) is always running, the control and communication unit 330 maintains a state (S120) waiting for input by the user terminal (100).

That is, the driving determination unit 332 performs a tension or expansion operation according to the control input from the user terminal 100 satisfying the tightening condition or the determination result of the distance determination.

When it is determined that the measurement distance d1 is greater than the set distance d0, the driving determination unit 332 operates the driving unit 320 to generate an alarm of tension or stretching operation. Here, the alarm should be understood to include any one or more of tension, stretching, sound generation, light generation through the wire portion.

In addition, the set distance may mean a distance from the distance determining unit 334 to the user terminal 100, and may mean a distance from a predetermined absolute position, as described above. For this purpose, location determination or measurement of radio wave strength through GPS can be performed.

Similarly, when an alarm is provided through the wire unit, an alarm through sound, visual or tactile sense may be provided to the user terminal 100.

When the reference position set as shown is determined as the position of the user terminal 100, the set distance d0 may correspond to a circular range having a predetermined radius. At this time, when the measurement distance (d1) is out of the set distance (d0) the mounting mechanism 200 generates an alarm to suppress the companion animal or provide a warning to the companion animal.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that each of the above-described embodiments may be configured in addition to or in addition to other embodiments or configurations thereof.

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, a mounting mechanism capable of remote control of a pet is suitable for tightening and releasing a fitting, such as a collar for a pet, in addition to a conventional pull or a voice warning. By providing it, it is possible to train appropriately without overwhelming the human body of the pet and the user, and provides the advantage that can effectively suppress the risk situation.

In addition, by freely connecting the user terminal and the mounting mechanism wirelessly beyond the existing limited wire rope system, free pets can be freely operated in a wider range. The risk is also reduced.

In addition, an automatic algorithm can release the tension state, release the contraction state, or provide an alarm when certain conditions are satisfied, thus overcoming the user's misunderstanding or uncontrollable state and sharing the life with the safer pets. Is possible.

In the above, the present invention has been described in detail based on the embodiment and the accompanying drawings. However, the scope of the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments and drawings, and the scope of the present invention will be limited only by the contents described in the claims below.
