20210185986
The present disclosure relates to the field of pet products, and more particularly, to a method and device for alert processing in a pet pulling piece.
Recently, with improvements in life standards, keeping bets, such as dogs, has become an important part of human life, and pet products have become increasingly abundant, among which pet pulling pieces have even become a fashion item. Pet pulling pieces are a must-have item for dog keeping, whether for pet training or for bringing pets along for walking outdoors.
Existing pet pulling devices include a pet pulling handle and a pet pulling leash connected thereto. However, existing pet pulling pieces merely have a single function, i.e., the simple function of pulling. However, while walking along with a pet, the pet frequently moves and runs around. Especially the pet may suddenly run about to the surprise of the human, in which case he/she may be caused to fall over. When the human is an aged man/woman or a child, he/she may fall over and get hurt.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide a solution to prevent the human from falling over out of surprise and getting hurt when walking along with a pet due to pet moving and running around or sudden running.
Embodiments of the present disclosure aim to address the technical problem of providing a method and device for alert processing in a pet pulling piece capable of alerting a human in time which can effectively prevent the human from falling over out of surprise and getting hurt when walking along with a pet due to pet moving and running around or sudden running.
In a first aspect, the present application provides a method for alert processing in a pet pulling piece including a pulling handle and a pet pulling leash connected thereto, the method including:
detecting a tension data value of the pet pulling leash;
determining whether the tension data value of the pet pulling leash is less than a first preset threshold;

when the tension data value of the pet pulling leash is greater than the first preset threshold and less than a second preset threshold, determining that the current tension data value of the pet pulling leash is at an alarm level, and enabling an alarm alert mode corresponding to the alarm level, the alarm alert mode being an alert mode including a combination of indicator light, vibration, and sound in which the indicator light emits in yellow, the sound is soft, and the vibration is moderate; and
when the tension data value of the pet pulling leash is greater than the second preset threshold, determining that the current tension data value of the pet pulling leash is at a danger level, enabling a danger alert mode corresponding to the danger level and sending an ultrasound alarm to the pet, the danger alert mode being an alert mode including a combination of indicator light, vibration, and sound in which the indicator light emits in red, the sound is urgent, and the vibration is intense.
In an optional design, the method further includes, prior to the step of detecting a tension data value of the pet pulling leash:
presetting a first threshold for the tension data value of the pet pulling leash, a second threshold for the tension data value of the pet pulling leash, and a third threshold for the tension data value of the pet pulling leash, the second threshold being greater than the first threshold.
In an optional design, the method further includes, subsequent to the step of detecting a tension data value of the pet pulling leash:
displaying the tension data value of the pet pulling leash on a display screen provided on the pulling handle.
In an optional design, the step of detecting a tension data value of the pet pulling leash specifically includes:

The present disclosure has the following beneficial effects. The present disclosure provides an alert method and device in a pet pulling piece. In this method, the tension data value of the pet pulling leash is determined through detection and analysis. When the tension data value of the pet pulling leash is less than a first preset threshold, it is determined that the current tension data value of the pet pulling leash is at a security level, and a security level alert mode corresponding to the security level is enabled. The security level alert mode includes indicator light alert in which the indicator light emits in green. When the tension data value of the pet pulling leash is greater than the first preset threshold and less than a second preset threshold, it is determined that the current tension data value of the pet pulling leash is at an alarm level and an alarm alert mode corresponding to the alarm level is enabled. The alarm alert mode is an alert mode including a combination of indicator light, vibration, and sound, in which the indicator light emits in yellow, the sound is soft, and the vibration is moderate. When the tension data value of the pet pulling leash is greater than the second preset threshold, it is determined that the current tension data value of the pet pulling leash is at a danger level and a danger alert mode corresponding to the danger level is enabled while an ultrasound alarm is sent to the pet. The danger alert mode is an alert mode including a combination of indicator light, vibration and sound, in which the indicator light emits in red, the sound is urgent, and the vibration is intense. In this way, depending on the different levels of the detected tension data value of the pet pulling leash, different human alert modes are enabled accordingly. As the level increases, the intensity of alert to human increases gradually. Meanwhile, the pet can be deterred. As such, it is possible to alert the human in time, thereby preventing the human from falling over out of surprise and getting hurt when walking along with a pet due to pet moving and running around or sudden running.

S101: detecting a tension data value of the pet pulling leash.
In an optional design, the step of detecting a tension data value of the pet pulling leash includes specifically: detecting the tension data value of the pet pulling leash by a tension sensor.
In an optional design, the method further includes, prior to the step of detecting a tension data value of the pet pulling leash:
presetting a first threshold for the tension data value of the pet pulling leash and a second threshold for the tension data value of the pet pulling leash, the second threshold being greater than the first threshold.
It is noted that in this embodiment, the first preset threshold for the tension data value of the pet pulling leash and the second preset threshold for the tension data value of the pet pulling leash are not always fixed, but are set by the user him/herself. The user may set these thresholds depending on the condition of the human. For example, if the human is a child or an aged man/woman, who is relatively weak physically and may easily fall over and get hurt due to pet moving around, running around, or sudden running, then the first preset threshold for the tension data value of the pet pulling leash and the second preset threshold for the tension data value of the pet pulling leash can be set depending on the actual condition of the child or aged man/woman. Also, for example, if the human is a young man/woman, who is relatively strong physically and may not easily fall over and get hurt due to pet moving around, running around, or sudden running, then the first preset threshold for the tension data value of the pet pulling leash and the second preset threshold for the tension data value of the pet pulling leash can be preset higher than those for a child or aged man/woman.
It is noted that, in this embodiment, the pet pulling piece includes a pet pulling handle and a pet pulling leash connected thereto. The tension sensor is built in the pet pulling handle for detecting the tension data value of the pet pulling leash.
In an optional design, the method further includes, subsequent to the step of detecting a tension data value of the pet pulling leash:
displaying the tension data value of the pet pulling leash on a display screen provided on the pulling handle.
In this embodiment, the display screen provided on the pet pulling handle is configured for human-machine interaction and may be a liquid crystal display screen etc. that can display the current tension data value of the pet pulling leash.
S102: determining whether the tension data value of the pet pulling leash is less than a first preset threshold.
In this embodiment, the tension data value of the pet pulling leash detected by the tension sensor is compared with the first preset threshold for the tension data value of the pet pulling leash and the second preset threshold for the tension data value of the pet pulling leash to determine whether the current tension data value of the pet pulling leash is at a security level, an alarm level, or a danger level, and a corresponding human alert mode is enabled depending on different levels.
S103: when the tension data value of the pet pulling leash is less than the first preset threshold, determining that the current tension data value of the pet pulling leash is at the security level, and enabling a security level alert mode corresponding to the security level, the security level alert mode including indicator light alert in which the indicator light emits in green.
Specifically, when the current tension data value of the pet pulling leash is at the security level, the alert function is the weakest, including only indicator light alert in which the indicator light emits in green, indicating that the pet is in a normal state without starting moving or running around.
S104: when the tension data value of the pet pulling leash is greater than the first preset threshold and less than a second preset threshold, determining that the current tension data value of the pet pulling leash is at an alarm level, and enabling an alarm alert mode corresponding to the alarm level, the alarm alert mode being an alert mode including a combination of indicator light, vibration, and sound in which the indicator light emits in yellow, the sound is soft, and the vibration is moderate.
Specifically, when the current tension data value of the pet pulling leash is at the alarm level, the alert function is stronger than the one for the security level, where the alert mode has been enhanced to one including a combination of indicator light, vibration, and sound, in which the indicator light emits in yellow, the sound is soft, and the vibration is moderate, indicating that the pet is in the relatively severe state of moving or running around, possibly causing the human to fall over out surprise and get hurt. Therefore, the alert mode including a combination of indicator light, vibration, and sound is employed to provide increased intensity and means of alert to human.
S105: when the tension data value of the pet pulling leash is greater than the second preset threshold, determining that the current tension data value of the pet pulling leash is at a danger level, and enabling a danger alert mode corresponding to the danger level while sending an ultrasound alarm to the pet, the danger alert mode being an alert mode including a combination of indicator light, vibration, and sound in which the indicator light emits in red, the sound is urgent, and the vibration is intense.
Specifically, when the current tension data value of the pet pulling leash is at the danger level, the alert function is stronger than the one for the alarm level, where the alert mode has been enhanced to one including a combination of indicator light, vibration, and sound in which the indicator light emits in red, the sound is urgent, and the vibration is intense, indicating that the pet is in the severe state of moving or running around, very likely to cause the human to fall over out of surprise and get hurt. Therefore, the alert mode including a combination of indicator light, vibration, and sound is employed, in which the indicator light emits in red, the sound is urgent, and the vibration is intense, to provide increased intensity of alert to human, while sending an ultrasound alarm to the pet.
It is noted that, in this embodiment, the security level alert mode corresponding to the security level includes indicator light alert in which the indicator light emits in green, but the present disclosure is not limited to alert in this manner, and the alert may be made in other manners, which is not to be limited by the present disclosure.
The alarm alert mode corresponding to the alarm level is an alert mode including a combination of indicator light, vibration, and sound, in which the indicator light emits in yellow, the sound is soft, and the vibration is moderate, but the present disclosure is not limited to alert in this manner, and the alert may be made in other manners, which is not to be limited by the present disclosure. The danger alert mode corresponding to the danger level is an alert mode including a combination of indicator light, vibration, and sound, in which the indicator light emits in red, the sound is urgent, and the vibration is intense, but the present disclosure is not limited to alert in this manner, and the alert may be made in other manners, which is not to be limited by the present disclosure.
The present disclosure has the following beneficial effects. In the alert method in a pet pulling leash provided by the present disclosure, the tension data value of the pet pulling leash is determined through detection and analysis. When the tension data value of the pet pulling leash is less than the first preset threshold, it is determined that the current tension data value of the pet pulling leash is at the security level, and the security level alert mode corresponding to the security level is enabled. The security level alert mode includes indicator light alert in which the indicator light emits in green. When the tension data value of the pet pulling leash is greater than the first preset threshold and less than the second preset threshold, it is determined that the current tension data value of the pet pulling leash is at the alarm level and the alarm alert mode corresponding to the alarm level is enabled. The alarm alert mode is an alert mode including a combination of indicator light, vibration, and sound, in which the indicator light emits in yellow, the sound is soft, and the vibration is moderate. When the tension data value of the pet pulling leash is greater than the second preset threshold, it is determined that the current tension data value of the pet pulling leash is at the danger level, and the danger alert mode corresponding to the danger level is enabled while an ultrasound alarm is sent to the pet. The danger alert mode is an alert mode including a combination of indicator light, vibration and sound, in which the indicator light emits in red, the sound is urgent, and the vibration is intense. In this way, depending on the different levels of the detected tension data value of the pet pulling leash, different human alert modes are enabled accordingly. As the level increases, the intensity of alert to human increases gradually. Meanwhile, the pet can be deterred. As such, it is possible to alert the human in time, thereby preventing the human from falling over out of surprise and getting hurt when walking along with a pet due to pet moving and running around or sudden running.
