Vibration Dog Collar

A vibration dog collar can also be a good choice for an abused dog, again because of the milder sensations. Many people also use these collars as part of a training program designed for a blind dog or a deaf dog.

– Stubborn or Active Dogs

However, even though these collars are frequently used for sensitive pets, it’s also possible to use them on more active or stubborn dogs. Because the collars provide a range of different vibrations, it’s likely that a dog will respond favorably to one or more of the sensations. However, for very active or stubborn dogs, some vibration collars also include an electric impulse feature. If necessary, the electric impulse feature can be used as a back-up if the dog doesn’t respond to the vibration signals.

– Using the Various Vibration Levels

When using a vibration dog collar, it’s important to make good use of the various vibration levels. In many cases, these collars will have a wide range of vibration levels, which are easily controllable using the buttons on the remote control unit. For example, one button might provide multiple levels of tickle-pressure vibration. But the controller is also likely to have a stimulation level available as well, which can be used as a back-up to replace the constraining sensation of a traditional leash. In some cases, the remote unit might also have a second button available, providing a wider array of vibration sensations as well as an optional electric impulse sensation.

Using a collar that provides a vibration “pager” button is also a good option for those who prefer using vibration instead of electronic stimulation. In the case of some of these collars, the electronic stimulation is controlled by a rheostat dial, and can be turned down so low that the dog will barely feel a tingle. This kind of collar system can be quite useful, since the vibration “pager” mode can be utilized for most training needs, but the electronic stimulation is still available if needed. Since some rheostat dial controlled collars have 100 or more stimulation levels, it’s possible to use a variety of the lower levels if needed, even on sensitive dogs.

– Uses for Vibration-Only Collars

Vibration dog collars can be used as part of a dog’s training program in much the same way as other electronic collars. When using one of these collars, a quick alert vibration is first given. When the dog feels this vibration, he or she knows to begin a particular response. If necessary, a second vibration can be used if the desired behavior is not performed.

These collars are often used as part of a leash-free training program. During the training process, the dog will quickly learn what the various vibration sensations mean, and will soon dependably respond with the correct response or behavior. Because of the various array of different vibration sensations, the owner is provided with a wide variety of options. As part of the dog’s training program, different vibration sensations can be used to elicit different behaviors from the dog. Although the various sensations are easily distinguishable as unique by your dog, all of them are gentle, humane and designed not to produce stress or fearfulness in a dog.

Depending on the desired result, vibration training collars can be used to provide a dog with positive or negative feedback. One collar can even be used to provide both positive encouragement of desired behavior as well as a deterrent to undesired behavior, thanks to the wide array of vibration sensations that are available.

These collars can be especially useful when training a deaf or blind dog, replacing the verbal or visual command signals that he or she would not be able to interpret. They are also a great way to provide a dog with training consistency, since the signals will be the same, regardless of which owner is operating the control. This can be a big help for dogs who seem to take verbal commands from one person, but not from another.

It is lucky that our vibration motor can be used for those E-collar.You can use coin type or 6mm series.

How to Choose a R/C Toy Motor

Toy motor is the main power source to keep the power of toys. Designers have little opportunity to design a toy motor in toy production. There are many techniques and methods for the selection of toy motors.

Find the appropriate speed ratio and torque

The standard of the toy motor factory is the no-load speed, and the speed ratio is calculated, it is generally used to calculate no-load speed. The speed ratio of the walking toy is between 80~150, because the toy product is not a kind of precise machine, so it can be adjusted to the actual transmission ratio. For example: gear transmission in a section of the tooth number ratio of 20:8, the experiment found that the speed is too slow you can try 22:6, if the speed is too fast, but also for 18:10, this approach is very convenient.

Toy motor products have a maximum load data, there is a load and the speed of the relationship. Because the toy products are generally not very large and battery driven, so the load of the toy motor is not very large. In general, the greater the load and torque, the larger the size of the toy motor, the battery to be more, and the heavier the weight of the toy, so as far as possible to choose the appropriate toy motor. Generally, the load and speed of the motor in the curve of the region will rise. If you want to save costs, in the case of a high-power motor can be found in the case of a small power to try. Through repeated tests, a toy motor with small power and can meet the requirements is found.

Radio interference test

The working principle of the toy motor is to continuously change the current in the coil by the brush, thus ensuring the continuous rotation. It can be imagined that the larger the magnet in the motor, the longer the coil, the greater the torque will be, and the change of the current will form an electromagnetic wave. The existence of electromagnetic waves will interfere with a variety of household appliances. If a child is waiting for a plane to play with the motor of the toy, it may affect the aircraft landing. So in the actual work will add an anti interference washer (such as DV WASHER, about 0.5 Hong Kong dollars), but the general design will be in the two electrode motor on a parallel capacitor or a ceramic resistor (stable circuit function), a reduction of the brush and the influence of rotor coil current for the stability on the other hand. In practical work, it is possible to use a small radio to do interference test equipment.

The toy is generally the rotating shaft of the motor shaft and the iron, iron shaft directly with a tight 6 teeth or 8 teeth of 0.5 modulus gear (or a small pulley or lever, when the gear is pan) or pot rod, especially pan rod, because just starting moment, between tooth and tooth will a card, then the current coil will increase, iron axial vibration and the move will interpret the cards, so don't put in a fixed motor shaft in the axial direction on the fixed die (less to 0.5mm allowance).

Placement should pay attention to reduce noise

Is the resistance of the coil, the current through the resistor will heat, so the motor shell cannot be directly exposed to the best at the same time, the motor can not be placed in the small box closed, closed space will lead to not easy to distribute the heat sealed, and a small box will become a big motor noise sound put.
Motor products are the biggest problem is the noise, although this noise may not have security problems, but it does not sound comfortable. The biggest problem is the noise of high speed gear, the general tooth and the middle of the gap between the teeth will be between 10 to 20 wire (for the gear of the 0.5 model). The gap is too small, the high speed gear will impact noisier; too much, lack of power on one hand, on the other hand, there will be noise, so sometimes use a pulley or a soft driving gear (such as wheel PE) to reduce the noise, of course, you can also add a little oil motor (nontoxic horse as oil).

However, we should also pay attention to the motor with the best parts of the teeth do not work with the pieces, especially the larger with a relatively closed space of the pieces of a piece of work, that is, in a large piece of paper directly on the production of dental splint, such as battery boxes, car chassis, etc.. These relatively confined space will play a role in the amplifier, several times to enlarge the noise. The author has experienced a lot of this design, such as the direct motor fixed at the bottom or side of the battery box, the noise will be very terrible. In one instance, a company developed a 1.5 foot remote control car (the Beatles appearance), was at the bottom of the vehicle directly make tooth box, which is directly fixed on the motor vehicle, because it saves a mold of money, while reducing the assembly time, but direct transmission to the vehicle noise and vibration caused by vehicle resonance the noise is very large. Finally, we have to re do a set of mold, the teeth out of the box, and in the case and the bottom of the car to install the seat pad  to absorb vibration to solve the problem. It can be seen that when the noise of the toy is very large, it can be used to reduce the noise and reduce the noise by adding sponge or other soft materials (such as rubber sheets, etc.).

Method for fixing and realizing positive inversion

The two ends of the motor are designed with a fixed position to prevent rotation. As long as the size of the reference motor diagram, with the upper and lower clamping two pieces can be. Generally not fixed motor shell body, because on the one hand the heat is not good, but on the other hand, it is difficult to achieve stable fixation, unless the structure of tens of thousands have not, can also play motor screws (special screw holes on the motor)

Positive inversion toy motor can be used to change the direction of the battery and the pros and cons of two kinds of steering (by mechanical switch to change, also can through the electronic control), which means that a motor can get two different action. Such as: the motor is transferred to the simulation animal walk forward, while the motor is reversed, making it stop and wagging its tail, shaking, the achievement of these movements is passed through a gear rotating process, the driving wheel has a tangential force to achieve the conversion principle, namely through the positive direction of rotation of the motor driven by a set of gears, and in reverse when another group of gear drives. Can be tangential to the axis of jumping called axis.

Paging System For Restaurant(Use a micro DC motor)

It’s the weekend and you have plans for an elaborate dinner at one of the best restaurants in the city. However, due to your busy schedule, you fail to reserve a table. And then when you walk in, its jam packed. Anyways, the hostess writes down your name and asks you to wait till your name is called out. You are waiting and walking around the restaurant when suddenly, your name is hollered over a megaphone.

You rush to the hostess but your name is hollered again and again till you reach the spot. You get the table alright, but you wonder whatever happened to good old privacy and discreetness. On the other hand, if the restaurant had a paging system in place, it would have been far easier and comfortable for both parties.

A Restaurant paging system is a simple to use device which utilizes the paging technology with a micro DC motor. As a guest walks into a restaurant and finds the tables occupied, he is handed over a pager and is asked to wait. Then as a table becomes vacant, the pager will have a vibration motor buzzes or blinks or even shows a customized text message and informs the guest about it. This brings about a certain level of organization and enhances the customer satisfaction levels.It is very similar to use a vibration pager motor that is a micro DC motor inside a cell phone.

You might think that a Restaurant paging might be extremely expensive. But that’s where you are wrong. A normal restaurant paging system comprising of 12 pagers, a transmitter and a central unit, usually costs around $500. There are cheaper and more expensive systems also available for purchase.As pager technology are very mature nowadays.

Types of pagers:

There are several types of pagers that are used in Restaurant paging systems.

The most common ones are:

• Beeper: These are the oldest and the commonest of the lot. But they are also the most widely used ones around the world. They either beep or light up.
• Alphanumeric: These are slightly advanced and can display messages in both alphabetic as well as numeric characters.

Only use a pager motor in a paging system,your waiting in restaurant will be comfortable and easy.

Enjoy your meal.

How To Build a Tiny Vibrating Bug Robot

How To Build a Tiny Vibrating Bug Robot

From net by Adam

This little robot is really easy and fast to make. You only need a few parts. Hit the jump to see the full tutorial.

Here you can see all the parts you will need for this project.

• 3 small paper clips
• 1 piece of double-sided foam tape
• 1 pager motor with weight attached
• 1 coil cell battery holder
• 1 3V coin cell

After gathering the parts, We need to make the legs of the robot. First, straighten the 3 paper clips. They don’t have to be perfect, just straight-ish.

Next we need to bend each paper clip in the middle. This helps the legs stay at the correct angle later. Two of the paper clips can be the same size bend (about 7mm in the middle) and one must be slightly smaller (about 5mm in the middle).

Next, bend the long parts of the paper clips outward. The paper clip we bent to 5mm is on the bottom in this picture.

Now bend the paperclip we bent to 5mm into the shape shown. This makes the front legs of the robot.

If you want, you can make the bend go up, then back down as shown here. This will add to the bug look and make it easier to make all the legs even later.

Now bend the second paper clip up to form the legs.

Again, a “kick” in the bend might make it looks more buggy.

Now bend the last set of legs. It helps of you angle them a bit as shown below.

Now place the legs on one of the stick sides of the foam tape as shown here. We’ll adjust the lengths and angles a bit more later so for now, approximate placing is ok.

Now stick this to the bottom of the coin cell holder, making sure not to cover the solder terminals. On my holder, there were little plastic tabs getting in the way, so I cut them off to make the tape lie more flat.

Now solder the motor to the battery holder terminals.

Now solder the micro DC motor to the battery holder terminals.

(Pls refer to jifei’s mini vibrating motor :https://www.vibrationmotor.net/product/z0612-dx/)

Here you can see the back and side profiles of the little guy.

Now here is one of the most important steps! You have to adjust the legs. The robot is similar to this leg layout. Having built TONS of Stiquito kits, I know what to do here. The legs must be leveled out. Do this by standing it on the table and cutting all the legs to be even. Try not to cut too much.

Once all the legs are even, you need to bend the “feet” slightly backward so the angle is about 120 degrees. This will cause the vibration of the motor to propel the robot forward. You can see what I mean here:

Once this is done, you are ready to go. Play with the leg design a bit to see if any adjustments bring out different behaviors. You might have to tweak it a bit to get it to go straight. In my experience, it will always turn more in the direction the motor weight is spinning.

A final addition of tiny googly eyes makes this robot complete. Have fun and enjoy!

How to Build a Vibration Motor Circuit

 

In this project, we will show how to build a vibration motor circuit.

A vibration motor is a motor which vibrates when given sufficient power. It is a motor that literally shakes.

It is very good for vibrating objects. It can be used in a number of devices for very practical purposes. For example, one of the most common items that vibrate are cell phones that vibrate when called when placed in vibration mode. A cell phone is such an example of an electronic device that contains a vibration motor. Another example can be a rumble pack of a game controller that shakes, imitating the actions of a game. One controller where a rumble pack could be added as an accessory is nintendo 64, which came with rumble packs so that the controller would vibrate to imitate gaming actions. A third example could be a toy such as a furby that vibrates when you a user does actions such as rub it or squeeze it, etc.

So vibration motor circuits have very useful and practical applications that can serve a myriad of uses.

To make a vibration motor vibrate is very simple. All we have to do is add the needed voltage to the 2 terminals. A vibration motor has 2 terminals, usually a red wire and a blue wire. The polarity does not matter for motors.

For our vibration motor, we will be using a vibration motor by Jifei Holding Limited. This motor has an operating voltage range of 2.5-3.8V to be powered.

So if we connect 3 volts across its terminal, it will vibrate really well, such as shown below:

This is all that is needed to make the vibration motor vibrate. The 3 volts can be provided by 2 AA batteries in series.

However, we want to take the vibration motor circuit to a more advanced level and let it be controlled by a microcontroller such as the arduino.

This way, we can have more dynamic control over the vibration motor and can make it vibrate at set intervals if we want or only if a certain event occurs.

We will show how to integrate this motor with an arduino to produce this type of control.

Specifically, in this project, we will build the circuit and program it so that the motor vibrates every minute.

Parts Needed

• Arduino Board
• Vibration Motor
• 1N4001 Diode
• 0.1µF ceramic capacitor
• 1KΩ Resistor
• 2N2222 NPN Transistor
• USB Connector

The vibration motor we will use is the shaftless vibration by Precision Microdrives. This can be obtained from Jifei at the following link: Jifei Vibration Motor. .

The vibration mechanism and all moving parts are protected within the metallic housing encasing of the motor. For sturdiness and strength, the wires are reinforced and there is a 3M adhesive on its back surface.

The motor will vibrate considerably when supplied with 3V.

The datasheet for this vibration motor pls contact: info@vibrationmotor.net for detail.

Almost any NPN transistor can be used to provide current amplification. If you do not have a 2N2222 NPN at hand, then substitute it for a 2N3904.

Vibration Motor Circuit

The vibration motor circuit we will build is shown below:

The schematic diagram for this circuit is:

When driving a motor with a microcontroller such as the arduino we have here, it is important to connect a diode reverse biased in parallel to the motor. This is also true when driving it with a motor controller or transistor. The diode acts as a surge protector against voltage spikes that the motor may produce. The windings of the motor notoriously produce voltage spikes as it rotates. Without the diode, these voltages could easily destroy your microcontroller, or motor controller IC or zap out a transistor. When simply powering the vibration motor directly with DC voltage, then no diode is necessary, which is why in the simply circuit we have above, we only use a voltage source.

The 0.1µF capacitor absorbs voltage spikes produced when the brushes, which are contacts connecting electric current to the motor windings, open and close.

The reason we use a transistor (a 2N2222) is because most microcontrollers have relatively weak current outputs, meaning they don't output enough current to drive many different types of electronic devices. To make up for this weak current output, we use a transistor to provide current amplification. This is the purpose of this 2N2222 transistor we are using here. The vibration motor needs about 75mA of current to be driven. The transistor allows this and we can drive the motor. To make sure that too much current does not flow from the output of the transistor, we place a 1KΩ in series with the base of the transistor. This attenuates current to a reasonable amount so that too much current isn't powering the motor. Remember that transistors usually provide about 100 times the amplification to the base current that enters through. If we don't place a resistor at the base or at the output, too much current can be damaging to the motor. The 1KΩ resistor value isn't precise. Any value can be used up to about 5KΩ or so.

We connect the output that the transistor will drive to the collector of the transistor. This is the motor as well as all components it needs in parallel with it for protection of the electronic circuitry.

Now that you understand why we use all the components which we do, let's go to the code that allows the motor to vibrate every minute.

Vibration Motor Code

The code that vibrates the motor every minute is shown below:

Code to vibrate the motor every minute
const int motorPin = 3;

void setup()
{
pinMode(motorPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop()
{
digitalWrite(motorPin, HIGH);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(motorPin, LOW);
delay(59000);
}

The following code, again, vibrates the motor every minute for 1 second of a duration of time.

The first line of code declares that the motor is connected to arduino pin D3.

The second block of code sets the digital pin D3 as output. This output represents the motor.

The third block of code turns the motorPin HIGH and delays it 1000ms. This represents the motor turning on for 1 second. The second half of this block then turns the motorPin LOW and delays it 59,000ms. This represents the motor being shut after being on for a second and staying off for 59 seconds. So, in total, the motor turns on every minute for 1 second of time.

This is just one type of circuit that can be built. There are many variations which can be done, including the motor shaking when a certain action is done such as noise being detected or motion being detected. With a microcontroller such as an arduino, we have more control.

Also note that the 3.3V terminal on some arduinos may supply enough current to power the vibration motor. So you may be able to run this same circuit without the transistor setup. However, if you are powering multiple motors (in parallel), then a transistor may then be absolutely necessary.
