Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of livestock health monitoring technology, specifically to a smart livestock health monitoring device for ranches. Background Technology

[0002] Monitoring livestock health on ranches involves real-time monitoring of physiological parameters and behavioral data. This allows for the timely detection of potential health problems, enabling early intervention to prevent disease progression, reduce morbidity and mortality, and safeguard the health of the livestock population. Monitoring data helps understand livestock's nutritional needs and growth status, allowing for adjustments to feed formulations, stocking densities, and the rearing environment to provide suitable growth conditions, promote healthy growth and development, and improve farming efficiency. Effective livestock health monitoring can also prevent and control the spread of animal infectious diseases, reduce the impact on the surrounding environment and other animals, ensure the sustainable development of animal husbandry, and contribute to maintaining public health security.

[0003] However, the existing monitoring methods and equipment are relatively limited and cannot comprehensively monitor livestock health-related data, which inevitably leads to significant errors in subsequent adjustment measures and requires further improvement and optimization. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a smart ranch livestock health monitoring device that can more comprehensively monitor livestock health-related data.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A smart ranch livestock health monitoring device includes a vital signs monitoring device worn on the animal's leg, a behavior monitoring device worn on the animal's neck, and an environmental monitoring device that extends vertically onto the ranch floor.

[0007] The vital signs monitoring device includes a vital signs monitoring fixing ring, a vital signs monitoring support shell with an upward-facing opening connected to the vital signs monitoring fixing ring, and multiple body temperature monitoring sensors connected inside the vital signs monitoring support shell;

[0010] The environmental monitoring agency includes a vertically extending environmental monitoring support rod, with an environmental monitoring support hemisphere fixed at the top of the environmental monitoring support rod, and multiple light sensors installed on the environmental monitoring support hemisphere;

[0011] Vital signs monitoring agencies, behavioral monitoring agencies, and environmental monitoring agencies all connect to the computer of the livestock health monitoring center via wireless transmission. The computer stores and analyzes the monitored data.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the vital signs monitoring support shell is connected to multiple upward-facing sensor housings via a second ball hinge, and the body temperature monitoring sensor is fixed inside the sensor housing.

[0013] A laser sight is fixed to the outside of the sensor housing, and the laser beam emitted by the laser sight is parallel to the axis of the sensor housing.

[0014] Instructions: Manually adjust the direction of the body temperature monitoring sensor. The laser sight emits a red beam to guide the body temperature monitoring sensor. Manually move the sensor housing cylinder to rotate around the second ball hinge to adjust the direction of the body temperature monitoring sensor. This allows multiple body temperature monitoring sensors to be evenly distributed to monitor the temperature of the animal's abdomen, avoiding large measurement errors caused by a single data point.

[0015] Preferably, the pulse monitor is connected to the outside of the vital signs monitoring fixing ring via a proximity adjustment mechanism. The proximity adjustment mechanism includes two proximity adjustment support columns fixed to the outside of the vital signs monitoring fixing ring and parallel to each other. The side of the proximity adjustment support columns that are close to each other has a proximity adjustment groove. A proximity adjustment slider is slidably connected in the proximity adjustment groove. The pulse monitor is fixedly connected to the proximity adjustment slider.

[0016] The proximity adjustment slider has a proximity adjustment mating hole, and a proximity adjustment drive rod is threadedly connected to the proximity adjustment mating hole.

[0017] Instructions: Adjust the position of the pulse monitor by bringing it close to the animal's leg skin to monitor the animal's heart rate.

[0018] Preferably, the vital signs monitoring fixing ring consists of a central connecting fan ring and side connecting fan rings connected to both ends of the central connecting fan ring;

[0019] The end of the central connecting fan ring is connected to the side connecting fan ring via a first fixed hinge;

[0020] One of the side connecting fan rings has a flexible connecting hole at the end away from the central connecting fan ring, and the other side connecting fan ring has a flexible connecting strip fixed at the end away from the central connecting fan ring, with the flexible connecting strip inserted into the flexible connecting hole.

[0021] The central connecting fan ring is connected to the vital signs monitoring support shell via the first ball hinge;

[0022] The vital signs monitoring ring is fitted and fixed onto the animal's leg. The flexible connecting strip is inserted into the flexible connecting hole. The length of the flexible connecting strip inserted into the flexible connecting hole is adjusted, thereby adjusting the overall size of the vital signs monitoring ring so that the vital signs monitoring ring is fitted and fixed onto the animal's leg with an appropriate tightness.

[0023] The outer side of the side connecting fan ring has a fastening adjustment through hole that extends radially and communicates with the flexible connection through hole. A fastening adjustment screw is threaded into the fastening adjustment through hole, and a flexible fastening pressure plate is fixed to the end of the fastening adjustment screw near the flexible connection through hole.

[0024] Instructions: Manually tighten the adjusting screw to firmly press and fix the flexible connecting strip in the flexible connecting hole with the flexible fastening plate, so as to prevent the flexible connecting strip from loosening.

[0025] Preferably, a horizontally arranged pitch deflection support shaft is fixed inside the behavior monitoring receiving slot. A pitch deflection support ring is rotatably connected to the pitch deflection support shaft. A camera connecting block is fixed on the pitch deflection support ring. The camera connecting block has multiple camera receiving holes. Conventional monitoring cameras, high-speed monitoring cameras, and infrared monitoring cameras are fixed in each corresponding camera receiving hole.

[0026] Explanation: The pitch and deflection support ring is driven by a conventional servo motor fixed in the behavior monitoring receiving slot to rotate around the axis of the pitch and deflection support shaft through gear transmission. This, in turn, drives the camera connecting block, along with each conventional monitoring camera, high-speed monitoring camera, and infrared monitoring camera, to rotate and adjust the pitch, thereby enabling the tracking and filming of livestock according to the actual situation.

[0027] Preferably, a horizontally arranged behavior monitoring support disk is fixed on the top of the behavior monitoring support saddle, a circumferential rotating support ring is fixed on the top of the behavior monitoring support disk, a circumferential rotating ring shell with an opening facing downward is rotatably connected to the circumferential rotating support ring, and the behavior monitoring support ball is fixed on the top of the circumferential rotating ring shell.

[0028] Explanation: The circumferential rotating ring shell is driven by a servo motor fixed on the behavior monitoring support plate through gear transmission to rotate around the axis of the circumferential rotating support ring. This, in turn, drives the behavior monitoring support sphere, along with various conventional monitoring cameras, high-speed monitoring cameras, and infrared monitoring cameras, to rotate together, enabling the tracking and filming of livestock according to actual conditions.

[0029] Preferably, the top of the behavior monitoring support sphere has a vertically extending air monitoring receiving hole, and the lower side of the behavior monitoring support sphere has multiple air flow input holes that communicate with the air monitoring receiving hole;

[0030] Multiple air quality sensors are fixed inside the air monitoring housing.

[0031] An air circulation drive fan is fixed inside the air monitoring housing.

[0032] Description: The system utilizes an air circulation-driven fan to continuously circulate air from bottom to top within the air monitoring intake. This allows air near the livestock to enter the air monitoring intake through the air circulation inlet and circulate upwards. An air quality sensor is used to monitor ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, oxygen, PM2.5 / PM10, and microbial aerosols in real time, ensuring that the ambient air around the livestock is at a healthy level.

The cleaning scraper is pressed against the outer surface of the sealed cover plate.

[0035] The cleaning scraper is connected to the end of the elastic pressure plate via a second fixed hinge.

[0036] Explanation: The cleaning support column is driven to rotate by a conventional motor fixed in the cleaning connection hole. The cleaning support column then drives the elastic pressure plate and the cleaning scraper to rotate together. The cleaning scraper removes dirt from the sealed cover plate to achieve cleaning, avoiding adverse effects of dirt on the light sensor and ensuring the accuracy of the light sensor monitoring data.

[0037] Preferably, the environmental monitoring support rod consists of an outer support rod with an upward-facing opening and an inner support rod that is slidably connected inside the outer support rod with a downward-facing opening;

A vertically extending lifting drive threaded rod is connected to the threaded hole. A lifting drive motor is fixed at the bottom inside the outer rod of the support rod. The output shaft of the lifting drive motor is connected to the lower end of the lifting drive threaded rod.

[0039] A horizontally arranged migration support plate is fixed to the lower end of the outer support rod, and multiple tracked drive wheel sets are connected to the bottom of the migration support plate.

[0040] Explanation: The lifting drive threaded rod can drive the lifting drive support column together with the inner rod of the support rod to move up and down inside the outer rod of the support rod, thereby adjusting the overall height of the environmental monitoring support rod.

[0041] Preferably, the upper end of the inner rod of the support rod and the portion extending out of the outer rod of the support rod are rotatably connected to a monitoring support ring coaxial with it. Multiple horizontally penetrating monitoring through-tube shells are fixed to the outside of the monitoring support ring. A meteorological monitoring sensor is fixed to the inside of the monitoring through-tube shell. A flow guide support rod extending radially is fixed to the outside of the monitoring support ring. A flow guide plate is fixed to the end of the flow guide support rod away from the monitoring support ring.

[0045] 2. This invention is easy to operate and can monitor not only the physiological and behavioral indicators of livestock, but also environmental factors in the pasture, including temperature, humidity, light, and air quality. By comprehensively considering both the livestock's own condition and environmental factors, it provides a more comprehensive assessment of livestock health.

[0046] 3. The monitoring equipment of the present invention has good scalability and can flexibly increase the number of monitoring equipment and functional modules according to the development and needs of the ranch, realize the system upgrade and expansion, and meet the ranch needs of different sizes and management requirements.

[0102] The meteorological monitoring sensor 352 includes wind speed sensors and barometric pressure sensors of the prior art.

[0103] In practical application, the vital signs monitoring mechanism 10 of this invention involves fitting a vital signs monitoring fixing ring 11 onto the animal's leg, inserting a flexible connecting strip 115 into a flexible connecting hole 114, adjusting the length of the flexible connecting strip 115 inserted into the flexible connecting hole 114, thereby adjusting the overall size of the vital signs monitoring fixing ring 11, so that the vital signs monitoring fixing ring 11 is fitted and fixed onto the animal's leg with an appropriate tightness, and then manually tightening the fastening adjusting screw 117 so that the flexible fastening pressure plate 118 firmly presses and fixes the flexible connecting strip 115 in the flexible connecting hole 114 to prevent the flexible connecting strip 115 from loosening;

[0105] The position of the pulse monitor 15 is adjusted by the proximity adjustment mechanism 16 so that the pulse monitor 15 is close to the skin of the animal's leg to monitor the animal's heart rate. The proximity adjustment drive rod 165 is manually turned, and under the threaded drive of the proximity adjustment drive rod 165 and the proximity adjustment mating hole 164, the proximity adjustment slider 163 moves in the proximity adjustment groove 162. The proximity adjustment slider 163 then moves the pulse monitor 15 together, so that the pulse monitor 15 is close to the animal's leg and in close contact with the animal's leg skin. The pulse monitor 15 is a photoelectric pulse monitor of the prior art.

[0106] In practical applications, the behavior monitoring device 20 is installed on the back or neck of the livestock. Only 5% of the total number of livestock need to be equipped with the behavior monitoring device 20. When these livestock equipped with the behavior monitoring device 20 move, they will monitor the behavior of multiple livestock in the vicinity, detect abnormalities in time and alarm. The behavior of multiple livestock is monitored by conventional monitoring camera 231, high-speed monitoring camera 232 and infrared monitoring camera 233. Conventional monitoring camera 231 is a color camera of existing technology, high-speed monitoring camera 232 is a high frame rate camera of existing technology, which can accurately capture the slow motion of livestock, and infrared monitoring camera 233 is an infrared camera of existing technology, which can monitor the behavior of livestock in low light and night environments.

[0107] When the conventional monitoring camera 231 detects abnormal behavior in livestock, the high-speed monitoring camera 232 will capture the abnormal behavior of the livestock at a high frame rate, which will facilitate manual slow-down analysis of each frame later, so as to discover the cause behind the abnormal behavior of livestock in a timely manner and take the correct remedial and corrective measures.

[0108] The air circulation is driven by the fan 26 to continuously circulate air from bottom to top in the air monitoring and receiving hole 24. The air near the livestock enters the air monitoring and receiving hole 24 through the air circulation inlet 241 and then circulates from bottom to top. The air quality sensor 25 is used to monitor the ammonia (NH3), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), carbon dioxide (CO2), oxygen (O2), PM2.5 / PM10, and microbial aerosols in the air in real time to monitor whether the ambient air in the livestock is at a healthy level.

[0109] The environmental monitoring agency 30 monitors parameters such as light, wind speed and air pressure in the pasture so as to adjust grazing measures in a timely manner according to the actual situation. The entire environmental monitoring agency 30 can move freely within the pasture area under the drive of the tracked drive wheel set 318 to carry out multi-point monitoring.
