Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of livestock breeding, and in particular to an intelligent collar device and system. Background Technology

[0002] In modern animal husbandry, real-time monitoring of animal health is crucial for improving breeding efficiency and ensuring food safety. Traditional cattle management methods rely on manual observation, experience-based judgment, and record-keeping. This approach is not only labor-intensive and inefficient but also prone to errors, making it difficult to detect and address problems promptly, which can lead to disease spread and reduced yields. With the development of IoT technology and smart wearable devices, an increasing number of intelligent solutions are being applied to animal husbandry to achieve real-time monitoring and management of livestock health.

[0003] Currently available smart monitoring devices mainly focus on gait analysis and body temperature monitoring in dairy cows. However, these devices often suffer from problems such as inconvenient installation and disassembly, limited monitoring items, and insufficiently intelligent data processing. Secondly, these neck collars often have a fixed circumference, making it impossible to flexibly adjust the size for different cows, resulting in low comfort for the cows. Furthermore, due to the large number of cows on farms, it is often difficult for staff to quickly locate the corresponding cow, leading to low efficiency. Especially when a large number of samples need to be collected and the cows need to be marked, the use of crayons for marking is prone to errors or omissions, or the markings can be easily rubbed off by other cows. In addition, existing smart cow neck collars often have short battery life, requiring frequent charging.

[0004] There are no effective solutions yet for the problems in related technologies, such as the inability of cattle neck collars to help quickly locate cattle, the inconvenience of installing and disassembling cattle neck collars, short battery life, and low comfort for cattle. Summary of the Invention

The first elastic element 1065 and the second elastic element 1076 deform, thereby locking the relative positions of the first adjusting element 1031, the second adjusting element 1041 and the fixing element 1051, and the neck collar is fixed on the cow's neck.

[0248] (ii) Adjusting the neck brace size or removing the neck brace

[0249] The locking connection between the third locking element 1062 and the fifth locking element 1072 is released by the switching element 1075; the first elastic element 1065 and the second elastic element 1076 restore their deformation, causing the first support element 1061 and the second support element 1071 to move away from the fixed element 1051, and respectively driving the fourth locking element 1063 to separate from the first locking element 1032 and the second locking element 1042 to separate from the sixth locking element 1073. The first adjusting element 1031 can slide relative to the first channel element 1052, and the second adjusting element 1041 can slide relative to the second channel element 1053, thereby adjusting the size of the neck collar or releasing the neck collar.

[0250] (III) Health Monitoring

[0251] Temperature monitoring element 1091 monitors cattle temperature in real time; activity monitoring element 1092 monitors cattle movement status in real time; rumination monitoring element 1093 monitors the number of times cattle ruminize each day; and lying down monitoring element 1094 monitors the lying down time of cattle each day. When the activity level, rumination frequency, or lying down time of cattle exceed the preset range, control element 1101 sends a corresponding early warning signal to the control system so that staff can observe and treat them in a timely manner.

[0252] The technical effects of this invention are as follows: The rotational connection between the first and second neck collar units improves the fit between the collar and the cattle's neck circumference, increasing comfort and solving the problem of low cattle comfort. The first and second adjustment units adjust the circumference of the collar units to suit different cattle, expanding the applicability. The first and second locking units, along with a fixing unit, work together to lock the relative positions of the adjustment units; the locking can be released in a single step, ensuring secure locking and easy disassembly, solving the problem of inconvenient installation and disassembly of cattle collars. The information recording unit records and updates cattle information, which can be viewed in real time, facilitating monitoring of the cattle's condition. The health monitoring unit monitors the cattle's health status in real time, and the control unit provides timely warnings, enabling staff to promptly detect abnormalities and take appropriate measures to ensure the cattle's health.
