[0002] At present, anklets, ear tags and collars based on exercise data collection are the mainstream technologies in the animal management system on the market. However, this technical route relies solely on inertial sensors to obtain animal exercise information. The data dimension is single, the algorithm is complex, and wearing it outside the body will also cause large data noise. It has limited effect on animal health monitoring, and cannot accurately measure body temperature, making it difficult to achieve early warning of diseases.

[0003] Taking dairy cows as an example, studies have shown that when a cow becomes sick, its body temperature changes about 4 days before observable clinical symptoms appear. During this period, the cow's clinical symptoms are not obvious, so it is difficult to detect that the cow is sick. When clinical symptoms appear, such as decreased milk production, abnormal feeding, abnormal exercise or rumination, etc., the cow has entered a serious stage of the disease, and the time and cost of starting treatment will increase.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, an implantable animal data detector includes a housing 1 and a PCBA component, a sensor component 3 and a power supply component 4 arranged in the housing 1. In this embodiment, the housing 1 is a capsule-shaped housing. The capsule-shaped housing usually has a smooth and rounded shape, which can reduce the trauma and discomfort caused to the animal tissue during the implantation process.

[0034] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the housing 1 includes a main body 101 and a sealing cover 102 threadedly connected to the main body 101. The main body 101 and the sealing cover 102 are both made of ceramic or PC material.

[0035] In this embodiment, the main body 101 and the sealing cover 102 are both made of medical-grade ceramics. Medical-grade ceramics have high mechanical strength, strong stability, and good corrosion resistance, which can ensure the safety of animals after being implanted in the animal body. At the same time, ceramics have good thermal conductivity and good signal penetration, and can well obtain data from the external animal body and transmit the collected data.

[0036] An internal thread 1011 is provided on the inner side of one end of the main body 101, and the sealing cover 102 includes a cover body 1021 and a connecting portion 1022. The cover body 1021 is provided with a groove 1025 for facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the sealing cover 102. The groove 1025 provides a stable fulcrum point for disassembly and assembly of the sealing cover 102, so that the operator can more easily exert force, thereby completing the disassembly and assembly of the sealing cover 102 quickly and accurately.

[0037] The outer side of the connecting portion 1022 is provided with an external thread 1023 matching the internal thread 1011 and a sealing groove 1026, and the main body 101 is sleeved on the connecting portion 1022 and is threadedly connected with the external thread 1023 through the internal thread 1011. The sealing groove is located at the side of the external thread 1023 away from the main body 101, and a first sealing ring 1024 is provided in the sealing groove 1026. When the main body 101 is threadedly connected with the sealing cover 102, one side of the first sealing ring 1024 abuts against the inner side of the main body 101.

[0038] Through the internal and external thread connection design, and in conjunction with the first sealing ring 1024, the gap between the internal and external thread connection is sealed, thereby effectively isolating the internal components of the shell 1 from the external organism, preventing external impurities from entering the shell 1 and affecting the normal operation of the internal components, ensuring the stable and long-term operation of the internal components, and extending the service life of the detector.

[0039] The PCBA assembly includes an MCU controller 203 and a wireless communication module 201 and a human-computer interaction module 202 electrically connected to the MCU controller 203 respectively.

[0040] The sensor assembly 3 includes a temperature sensor 301, an acceleration sensor 302 and a gyroscope sensor 303, which are electrically connected to the MCU controller 203. The temperature sensor 301 is connected to the inner wall of the body 101 through a thermal conductive adhesive 5, and is used to collect body temperature data of the implanted animal.

[0041] As a connecting medium, the thermal conductive adhesive 5 has good thermal conductivity, which can ensure efficient heat transfer between the temperature sensor 301 and the inner wall of the main body 101, so that the temperature sensor 301 can accurately and quickly sense and collect the body temperature data of the implanted animal, providing a reliable basis for medical diagnosis, physiological monitoring, etc. Compared with the existing technology of obtaining the surface temperature of the animal from the outside by using foot rings, ear tags and collars, the temperature detection implanted in the animal can sense the core body temperature of the animal more directly and accurately, and has higher real-time performance, which helps to timely discover the health problems of the animal.

[0042] The sensitive axis of the acceleration sensor 302 corresponds to the sensitive axis of the gyroscope sensor 303, and any sensitive axis of the acceleration sensor 302 is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the main body 101; the MCU controller 203 obtains the upright or inverted state of the shell 1 according to the change of the acceleration component of the sensitive axis of the acceleration sensor 302 perpendicular to the bottom surface of the main body 101.

[0043] The acceleration sensor 302 works based on the principle of inertia and can measure the acceleration change of an object in a specific direction. When a sensitive axis of the sensor is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the main body 101, the axis can accurately sense the acceleration change of the shell 1 in the vertical direction. When the shell 1 is in different states, the acceleration component on the sensitive axis perpendicular to the bottom surface will change due to the influence of gravity. The MCU controller 203 can determine the current posture of the shell 1 by reading the change in the acceleration component on the sensitive axis of the acceleration sensor 302 perpendicular to the bottom surface of the main body 101. For example, when the component is positive and close to the gravity acceleration value, it can be judged that the shell 1 is in an upright state; when the component is negative and the absolute value is close to the gravity acceleration value, it can be judged that the shell 1 is in an inverted state.

[0044] The acceleration sensor 302 is used to detect data to measure the activity data of the implanted animal, and is combined with the detection data of the gyroscope sensor 303 to obtain the lying posture data of the implanted animal.

[0045] The detection data of the acceleration sensor 302 and the gyroscope sensor 303 are fused and processed by the MCU controller 203 or an external receiving device. When acquiring the lying posture data, the system will comprehensively judge the posture of the animal based on the acceleration component of the acceleration sensor in the vertical direction and the rotation information of the gyroscope. For example, when the acceleration sensor detects that the acceleration component in the vertical direction is close to zero and the gyroscope detects a small rotational movement, it can be judged that the animal is in a lying posture.

[0046] Take a cow as an example. When a cow goes from standing to lying down, it first kneels with its front hooves, and then lies down with its hind hooves. During this process, when the cow’s legs are bent and kneeling, the cow’s body will fall under the action of gravity, and there will be a short free fall motion. The accelerometer sensor will detect the free fall motion in the direction of gravity acceleration as a lying judgment signal. At the same time, as the cow kneels with its front hooves, sinks its body, and bends its hind legs to lie down, the angle of the cow’s body is also pitching and deflecting compared to the standing state. The relative change in angle, together with the free fall detection of the accelerometer sensor, can accurately judge the cow’s lying action. In actual use, the judgment process of the cowboy's standing posture changing to a lying posture is as follows: when the cow is standing, the front hooves kneel down, and the gyroscope sensor detects the change in the pitch angle in the head and tail direction; the cow's hind hooves bend and lie down, and the body is in a brief free fall. At this time, the acceleration sensor detects the free fall action and the equipment is briefly weightless; as the cow lies down, the body returns to the same horizontal state as when standing, but the cow's belly lies on its side compared to when standing, that is, there is a relative rotation angle in the rotation direction, which makes the gyroscope sensor detect the recovery of the pitch angle in the head and tail direction. As the cow lies down, the deflection angle change in the vertical head and tail direction is detected.

[0047] The MCU controller 203 includes a dormant state, a configuration state, a test state, and a working state. By switching the state of the MCU controller 203, the detector turns on the MCU controller 203 before being implanted in an animal, switches from the dormant state to the working state, and then is implanted in the animal to acquire animal data. Before implantation, the working state can be switched to the configuration state to adjust various parameters of the MCU controller 203, such as setting the cycle for the MCU controller 203 to acquire data. Before implantation, the working state can also be switched to the test state to test whether the sensor component acquires and transmits data normally.

[0048] The human-computer interaction module 202 and the wireless communication module 201 are respectively connected to an external receiving device for wireless communication.

[0049] Among them, the human-computer interaction module 202 includes an indication device 2021, a Bluetooth communication module and a Hall switch 2023; the indication device 2021 is used to indicate the state of the MCU controller 203; the MCU controller 203 controls itself from the sleep state to the working state according to the output signal of the Hall switch 2023, and also switches itself from the working state to the configuration state or the test state according to the output signal of the Hall switch 2023 and the upright or inverted state of the shell 1.

[0050] When the MCU controller 203 is in the working state or the testing state, the MCU controller 203 is connected to an external receiving device through the wireless communication module 201, and the MCU controller 203 controls the sensor component 3 to collect and transmit data at least once. In this embodiment, when the MCU controller 203 is in the working state, the MCU controller 203 controls the sensor component 3 to collect and transmit data periodically; when the MCU controller 203 is in the testing state, the MCU controller 203 controls the sensor component 3 to collect and transmit data once, and tests whether the data collection and transmission of the sensor component 3 are normal.

[0051] Among them, the wireless communication module 201 includes a LORA module 2011 and an antenna 2012, the LORA module 2011 is located in the main body 101, the antenna 2012 is located in the sealing cover 102, and the antenna 2012 is electrically connected to the LORA module 2011; the LORA module 2011 is electrically connected to the MCU controller 203.

[0052] When the MCU controller 203 is in the configuration state, the MCU controller 203 communicates with the external receiving device through the Bluetooth communication module, and configures the parameters of the MCU controller 203 or switches itself from the configuration state to the sleep state according to the configuration instructions or shutdown instructions transmitted by the external receiving device.

[0053] The indicating device 2021 is an indicator light, and the indicator light is close to the side wall of the main body 101, so that the light of the indicator light can pass through the main body 101, which is convenient for external observation; and the indicator light includes a constant light state, a breathing light state, a fast flashing state and a light-off state corresponding to the sleep state, configuration state, test state or working state of the MCU controller 203. The breathing light state usually refers to the LED indicator light flashing or continuously emitting light in a soft and rhythmic manner; for example, in the sleep state, the indicator light is always on; when the sleep state is switched to the configuration state, the indicator light switches from the constant light to the breathing light state.

[0054] The power supply assembly 4 is electrically connected to the MCU controller 203. The power supply assembly 4 includes a battery 401 and a battery 401 management board for voltage switching and voltage stabilization; the battery 401 is electrically connected to the MCU controller 203 through the battery 401 management board, and the battery 401 management board includes a DC / DC regulated power supply 402 and an LDO linear regulator 403 which are electrically connected between the battery 401 and the MCU controller 203 in sequence.

[0055] A strong magnet 6 for fishing the shell 1 out of the animal's body is also provided on the side of the shell 1 away from the human-machine interaction module 202 .

[0056] The introduction of the strong magnet 6 allows the shell 1 to be safely and conveniently fished out of the animal's body by using a fishing line or other magnetic tools to attract the strong magnet when the shell 1 needs to be removed from the animal's body through the action of an external magnetic field, which can significantly reduce the animal's stress response and avoid the complexity of direct surgical removal and potential harm to the animal.

[0057] The MCU controller 203 , the human-computer interaction module 202 , the sensor component 3 , the power component 4 and the strong magnet are all located in the main body 101 , and the main body 101 is filled with potting glue 7 .

[0058] The potting glue 7 is filled inside the main body 101, and the various components are tightly wrapped together to form an integral structure, so that it can better resist external impact and vibration. At the same time, the potting glue 7 can fix the position of each component to prevent them from moving or loosening inside the device, and will form a dense sealing layer, which plays a role in waterproofing and dustproofing, which is conducive to ensuring the normal operation of the internal components and extending the service life of the internal components. In this embodiment, the potting 7 is only poured to the end of the internal thread covering the main body 101 away from the sealing cover 102, but does not cross the antenna 2012, so that after the sealing cover 102 is tightened, the potting glue can seal the connection gap between the sealing cover 102 and the main body 101, and limit the sealing cover 102 from reverse rotation and loosening. The potting glue 7 does not contact the antenna 2012 to ensure good matching and transmission effects of the antenna 2012.

[0059] Preferably, the sensor assembly 3 further comprises an air pressure sensor (not shown in the figure) for measuring the air pressure in the animal body, and a probe of the air pressure sensor is penetrated and arranged on the main body 101 .

[0060] Example 2

[0061] Compared with Example 1, Example 2 is distinguished by the fact that the indicating device 2021 is a vibration motor (not shown in the figure), and the vibration motor includes a continuous vibration state, a periodic vibration state, a non-periodic vibration state, and a vibration stop state corresponding to the sleep state, configuration state, test state, or working state of the MCU controller 203. The continuous vibration state generally refers to a state of continuous and uninterrupted vibration. The periodic vibration state refers to a state of intermittent vibration at a fixed frequency. The non-periodic vibration state refers to a state of intermittent vibration not at a fixed frequency. For example, in the sleep state, the vibration motor vibrates continuously and uninterruptedly; when the sleep state is switched to the configuration state, the vibration motor switches from continuous and uninterrupted vibration to intermittent vibration at a fixed frequency.

[0062] Example 3

[0063] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, compared with Example 1, Example 2 is distinguished by the fact that two symmetrically arranged hook grooves 8 are provided on the outer surface of one end of the main body 101 close to the sealing cover 102, and the hook grooves 8 are used to hang the detector on a hook of an implantation tool.

[0064] Specifically, the implantation tool is a feeding gun. The feeding gun is provided with a pair of hooks arranged opposite to each other, and the hooks are respectively hooked on the corresponding hook grooves 8, so that the detector is hooked and fixed on the hooks, so that the detector can enter the rumen of the cow through the cow's mouth and esophagus along with the feeding gun, and then the feeding personnel releases the feeding gun by using the mechanism of the feeding gun to separate the hook from the hook groove, so that the detector falls off from the feeding gun and enters the rumen, so as to prevent the detector from slipping from the feeding gun during the feeding process and falling into the trachea or other positions, endangering the safety of the animal.

[0065] In this embodiment, the hook groove 8 is located on the outer surface of the end of the main body 101 close to the sealing cover 102, and the hook groove 8 is open at one end close to the sealing cover 102. After the sealing cover 102 is threadedly connected to the main body 101, the opening abuts against the side of the sealing cover 102 close to the main body.

[0068] The cover plate 91 covers the closed mounting groove, and a second sealing ring is fixedly installed on the outer peripheral side of the cover plate 91, so that the cover plate 91 is fixed in the mounting groove 103, and the connection gap between the mounting groove 103 and the cover plate 91 is sealed, ensuring the sealing of the mounting groove 103, effectively preventing the moisture and other substances in the animal body from entering the charging port after the main body 101 is implanted in the animal body and affecting the normal use of the internal components of the main body 101, and isolating and protecting the charging port 92, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the charging process. The cover plate 91 is connected to the bottom of the mounting groove 103 through an elastic connector, which facilitates the opening and closing of the cover plate 91 and prevents the cover plate 91 from falling.

[0069] The water inlet detection assembly includes a first metal coil 11, a second metal coil 12 and a signal conversion module (not shown in the figure), the first metal coil 11 and the second metal coil 12 are both arranged on the inner side of the mounting groove 103 below the limit block 1031, and an insulating layer (not shown in the figure) is arranged between the contact surface of the first metal coil 11 and the second metal coil 12 and the mounting groove 103. The insulating layer is used to insulate the mounting groove 103 from the metal coil, preventing false alarms or equipment damage caused by problems such as short circuits, and further improving the accuracy and safety of detection.

[0070] The signal conversion module is installed inside the main body 101 and is electrically connected to the MCU controller; the signal conversion module is electrically connected to the first metal coil 11 and the second metal coil 12 respectively, and the signal conversion module is used to detect the current value between the first metal coil 11 and the second metal coil 12; the MCU controller determines the water ingress condition of the installation groove 103 based on the current value.

[0071] The sealing of the installation groove 103 is detected by setting the first metal coil 11 and the second metal coil 12. The MCU controller 203 provides alternating current of a certain frequency to the first metal coil 11. Through electromagnetic induction, a certain current is generated between the second metal coil 12. At the same time, the current value between the first metal coil 11 and the second metal coil 12 is read. Through the pre-stored control instructions, the water ingress condition of the installation groove 103 can be judged according to the current value, so that potential water ingress risks can be discovered and warned in time.

[0072] Specifically, when moisture enters the mounting groove 103 through the gap between the mounting groove 103 and the cover plate 91 and flows into the distance between the first metal coil 11 and the second metal coil 12, it will change the electromagnetic field between the metal coils, and then change the current value between the first metal coil 11 and the second metal coil 12. That is, when the current value changes, it can be determined that there is a risk of water ingress in the mounting groove 103.

[0076] Step S2: The external magnet is brought close to the side of the housing 1 where the Hall switch 2023 is located again, and the MCU controller 203 receives the second switch signal output by the Hall switch 2023, and obtains the upright and inverted states of the housing 1 by the change of the acceleration component of the sensitive axis of the acceleration sensor 302 perpendicular to the bottom surface of the main body 101; when the housing 1 is in the inverted state, the MCU controller 203 is switched from the working state to the test state, and then the sensor assembly 3 is controlled to perform a data collection and data transmission test. And the indicating device 2021 is switched to the state corresponding to the test state.

[0077] Step S3: After the test is completed, the MCU controller 203 switches back to the working state, and implants the shell 1 into the stomach of the animal. The MCU controller 203 controls the sensor component 3 to perform periodic data collection and transmits it to the external receiving device through the wireless communication module; and the indicating device 2021 switches to a state corresponding to the working state.

[0078] Step S4: The external receiving device receives the animal's body temperature data, activity data, and lying posture data periodically acquired by the sensor assembly 3, acquires the animal's physiological state, and generates an animal health report.

[0079] Among them, step 2 also includes: when the shell 1 is in an upright state, the MCU controller 203 communicates with the external receiving device through the Bluetooth communication module 2022, and configures the parameters of the MCU controller 203 or switches itself from the configuration state to the sleep state according to the configuration instructions or shutdown instructions transmitted by the external receiving device.

[0080] By receiving and analyzing the animal's body temperature, activity level, lying posture and other physiological parameters in real time, it is possible to immediately detect health problems in the animal, such as abnormal body temperature, reduced activity level or abnormal lying posture, and detect abnormalities in the animal's health as early as possible.
