Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of poultry breeding, and in particular to an adaptive chicken foot ring encapsulating an RFID chip. Background Art

[0002] The chicken foot ring is an innovative technology in modern poultry farming, mainly used to improve farming efficiency and the accuracy of chicken flock management. The chicken foot ring is usually made of plastic or metal and fixed on the chicken's foot. Its built-in microchip can record relevant information of the chicken, such as identity recognition, exercise volume, etc. By connecting to the intelligent system, farmers can monitor the health status of the chicken flock, feed consumption and environmental parameters in real time.

[0003] However, during the use of existing chicken foot rings, the inner diameter of the chicken foot rings does not automatically adjust according to the thickness of the chicken's feet, and the chickens need to record it from an early age. In order to reduce the frequent replacement of chicken foot rings, chicken foot rings with relatively large inner diameters are often used. However, the chicken's feet are relatively thin, and unsuitable chicken foot rings move up and down as the chickens run. The foot rings will scratch the chicken's legs, causing wounds and increasing the risk of infection. For this reason, a foot ring with an adjustable inner diameter has been designed. However, when chickens are raised in batches, there are certain differences in their growth. When adjustments are made, they are often made in batches, resulting in the inability to make timely adjustments. At this time, the presence of the chicken foot ring will have an impact on the chickens. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention aims at the technical problem that the existing technical solutions are too single, and provides a solution that is significantly different from the existing technologies. An embodiment of the present invention provides an adaptive chicken foot ring encapsulating an RFID chip to solve the technical problem that the existing chicken foot ring cannot automatically adjust the inner diameter according to the production of chickens.

[0005] The embodiment of the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an adaptive chicken foot ring encapsulating an RFID chip, comprising a detachable outer shell locked by a connecting piece, and also comprising an adaptive adjustment mechanism for synchronously changing with the changes of the chicken feet so that it always fits the chicken feet, the adaptive adjustment mechanism comprising a connecting shell that fits the chicken feet and a plastic annular belt that fits the chicken feet.

[0006] Furthermore, the plastic annular belt is made of a material with elastic deformation capability, such as thermoplastic elastomer and silicone.

[0007] Furthermore, the inner side surface of the connecting shell is arc-shaped so that it can better fit the chicken feet. A sliding plate for movement is arranged in the connecting shell. The sliding plate and the connecting shell are provided with spring guide columns for guiding the moving direction of the sliding plate. The connecting shell is divided into an installation cavity and a working cavity by the sliding plate. Space for installing a chip is reserved in the installation cavity, and a deflection torsion spring is arranged in the installation cavity. A connecting rod is arranged outside the deflection torsion spring, and the connecting rod passes through the sliding plate. One end of the plastic annular belt passes through the connecting shell, and a plurality of conical grooves are provided at the end of the plastic annular belt. The other end of the plastic annular belt is connected to the sliding plate by an additional connecting belt, and the connecting shell and the plastic annular belt are provided with a molded guide block.

[0008] Furthermore, in the initial state, the connecting rod is inclined at an angle under the action of the deflection torsion spring.

[0009] Furthermore, the transition sections between the tapered grooves formed by the plastic annular belt are cambered surfaces.

[0010] Furthermore, the plastic annular belt end with the tapered groove is slidably connected to the detachable outer shell.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: Firstly, during the use of the chicken foot ring, the actual inner diameter length is the total length of the plastic annular band and the connecting band, but during the use, the connecting band is located in the connecting shell, resulting in the effective length being the length of the plastic annular band (that is, the length of the connecting band is a floating length, which actually exists, but it is selective as to whether it will be used). As the chicken foot continues to grow, the plastic annular band locked by the conical insertion block and the conical groove is stretched, but the plastic annular band is locked at this time, and for this purpose the sliding plate is pulled to displace it, pulling out the existing connecting band. This is a one-time extension action, and when the length of the connecting band is not enough to extend, the restriction between the conical insertion block and the conical groove will be automatically released, so that the inner diameter formed by the plastic annular band becomes larger. The specific enlargement depends on the thickness of the chicken's feet. However, at this time, affected by the compressed spring guide column, the plastic annular belt will actually be tightened. By using their interaction, it is avoided that when the conical insert block is simply used for adjustment, the conical insert block may not be inserted into the conical groove, resulting in the plastic annular belt not being locked. In the later walking and running process of the chicken, the plastic annular belt is affected by inertia or other external forces and is accidentally stretched a second time, resulting in the inability to fit accurately. When it is necessary to disassemble, you only need to open the detachable shell. At this time, the end of the plastic annular belt is deformed outward under the action of the detachable shell, resulting in the automatic release of the restriction between the conical insert block and the plastic annular belt, thereby facilitating disassembly. To sum up, the chicken foot ring is actually divided into two adjustment modes during use. First, the first mode is used to change the internal space. Secondly, as the chicken continues to grow, the thickness of the chicken feet varies greatly, and a single first mode may not be able to meet the use requirements. When the first mode is adjusted to the final value, the second mode is adjusted and connected, so that the inner diameter can be further expanded, and the first mode is reset. At the same time, during the adjustment of the second mode, the elastic pullback force of the first mode will always play a winding role on the second section, avoiding too much adjustment at one time during the adjustment of the second section, or failing to engage correctly when adjusting by snapping (such as just getting stuck between two protrusions, which cannot be effectively locked at this time, resulting in unexpected expansion in the later stage), so that the chicken foot ring has a large variable range and is guaranteed to always fit the chicken feet (compared with ordinary elastic bands, elastic bands generally have a certain upper limit of elastic deformation capacity, and in the process of continuous stretching, the pressure on the chicken feet is constantly increasing, and the pressure value provided by the chicken foot ring to the chicken will have a maximum upper limit), which effectively improves the actual use effect of the chicken foot ring.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0020] Combine the following Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an adaptive chicken foot ring encapsulating an RFID chip, including a detachable outer shell 1 locked by a connecting piece, and also includes an adaptive adjustment mechanism 2 for synchronously changing with the changes of the chicken foot so that it always fits the chicken foot, the adaptive adjustment mechanism 2 includes a connecting shell 21 that fits the chicken foot and a plastic annular belt 28 that fits the chicken foot.

[0021] Specifically, the plastic annular belt 28 is made of a material with elastic deformation capability, such as thermoplastic elastomer and silicone.

[0022] During operation, when this material is used, the inner circle formed by the plastic annular belt 28 has a non-fixed shape, because the chicken feet do not grow in a regular circle during the growth process. In order to better fit the chicken feet, a silicone material with a certain deformation ability is selected.

[0023] Specifically, the inner side surface of the connecting shell 21 is arc-shaped so that it can better fit the chicken feet. A sliding plate 24 for movement is arranged in the connecting shell 21. The sliding plate 24 and the connecting shell 21 are provided with a spring guide column 29 for guiding the moving direction of the sliding plate 24. The connecting shell 21 is divided into an installation cavity 22 and a working cavity by the sliding plate 24. A space for installing a chip is reserved in the installation cavity 22, and a deflection torsion spring 23 is arranged in the installation cavity 22. A connecting rod 25 is arranged outside the deflection torsion spring 23, and the connecting rod 25 passes through the sliding plate 24. One end of the plastic annular belt 28 passes through the connecting shell 21, and a plurality of conical grooves are provided at the end of the plastic annular belt 28. The other end of the plastic arc belt is connected to the sliding plate 24 by an additional connecting belt 27. The connecting shell 21 and the plastic annular belt 28 are provided with a forming guide block. The detachable shell 1 can also be made of a material with deformation ability, or the detachable shell 1 and the connecting shell 21 can be rotatably connected.

[0024] Specifically, in the initial state, the connecting rod 25 is inclined under the action of the deflection torsion spring 23 .

[0025] Specifically, the transition sections between the tapered grooves formed by the plastic annular belt 28 are arc surfaces.

[0026] During operation, since the tapered grooves are arc-shaped, when the tapered insertion block 26 is located thereon, it can be displaced to a certain extent, thereby cooperating with the resetting of the spring guide column 29 to displace and facilitate better insertion.

[0027] Specifically, the end of the plastic annular belt 28 with a tapered groove is slidably connected to the detachable housing.

[0028] During operation, the end of the plastic annular band where the tapered groove is located can be moved, so that the inner diameter of the plastic annular band 28 can be changed.

[0029] Working principle: When the chicken foot ring needs to be connected to the chicken foot, the detachable outer shell 1 is wrapped around the chicken foot, and the plastic annular belt 28 is first pulled to reduce its inner diameter to a certain range to achieve the effect of fitting the chicken foot. As the chicken continues to grow, the diameter of the chicken foot will continue to change. The inner diameter originally formed by the plastic annular belt 28 is not enough to meet the needs of the chicken. For this reason, the chicken foot will expand the plastic annular belt 28 (that is, the inner diameter of the chicken foot ring needs to be automatically adjusted at this time). In the process of adjustment, it is divided into two adjustment modes. First, the internal space is changed in a small range using one mode, and then the inner diameter of the chicken foot ring is adjusted to a certain range. In the one-stage adjustment mode, the connecting belt 27 is pulled outward under the action of the expansion force, thereby driving the sliding plate 24 connected thereto to move outward, that is, at this time, the gap between the sliding plate 24 and the inner surface of the connecting shell 21 becomes smaller, compressing the spring guide column 29. During the movement of the sliding block, the inclined connecting rod 25 passing through it is corrected, even if the conical insertion block 26 set at the end of the connecting rod 25 is continuously moved out of the insertion groove. Secondly, as the chicken continues to grow, the thickness of the chicken feet varies greatly, and a simple one-stage mode may not be able to meet the use requirements. When the one-stage mode is adjusted to the end After reaching the end value, the conical insert block 26 is completely removed from the insertion groove, and the conical insert block 26 releases the restriction on the plastic annular belt 28. At this time, the second stage adjustment intervenes, and the inner diameter formed by the plastic annular belt 28 itself becomes larger, which further expands the inner diameter. The plastic annular belt 28 with the expanded inner diameter does not pull the sliding plate 24. At this time, the sliding plate 24 is reset under the action of the compressed spring guide column 29, which means that in the process of adjusting the second stage mode, the elastic pullback force of the first stage mode will always play a winding role on the second stage, avoiding the adjustment process in the second stage. In the process, too much adjustment is made at one time, or when adjusting by snapping, it cannot be correctly snapped (for example, it is just stuck between two protrusions, and it cannot be effectively locked, resulting in unexpected expansion in the later stage). The variable range of the chicken foot ring is large, and it is guaranteed to always fit the chicken feet (compared with ordinary elastic bands, elastic bands generally have a certain upper limit of elastic deformation capacity, and in the process of continuous stretching, the pressure on the chicken feet is constantly increasing, and the pressure value provided by this chicken foot ring to the chicken will have a maximum upper limit), which effectively improves the actual use effect of the chicken foot ring.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents.
