[0020] The puncture nail 2 includes a clamping column 21 and a clamping cone 22, the left end of the clamping column 21 is fixedly connected to the male part 1, and the right end of the clamping column 21 is fixedly connected to the clamping cone 22; in some embodiments, the puncture nail 2 can be pushed by a puncture needle on the ear tag clamp to penetrate through the ear of the livestock, and the ear tag needle is inserted into the female part 3, so that the male part 1, the puncture nail 2 and the female part 3 are firmly installed on the ear of the livestock.

[0021] The female part 3 includes two clamping plates 31 and clamping rings 33, the clamping plates 31 are provided with movable grooves 32, the movable grooves 32 on the two clamping plates 31 jointly form a movable cavity adapted to the clamping column 21, the right side of the clamping plate 31 is fixedly connected to the clamping ring 33, the clamping ring 33 is provided with a ring groove 34, and the ring grooves 34 on the two clamping rings 33 jointly form a clamping cavity adapted to the clamping cone 22; in some embodiments, when the female part 3 is closed, the movable grooves 32 on the two clamping plates 31 enclose the movable cavity adapted to the clamping column 21, and the ring grooves 34 of the two clamping rings 33 enclose the clamping cavity for clamping the clamping cone 22, so that the clamping column 21 can be squeezed, the clamping column 21 and the clamping cone 22 penetrate through the movable cavity, and the clamping cone 22 is clamped into the clamping cavity after penetrating through the movable cavity, so that the operation of fixing the puncture nail 2 on the female part 3 is completed.

[0022] In some embodiments, the clamping column 21 and the clamping cone 22 are coaxially arranged, the movable cavity and the clamping cavity are coaxially arranged, the inner diameter of the movable cavity is smaller than the inner diameter of the clamping cavity, the clamping cone 22 is in a conical structure, and the diameter of the left end of the clamping cone 22 is greater than the diameter of the clamping column 21, so as to facilitate clamping of the clamping cone 22 in the clamping cavity.

[0023] The quick release mechanism 5 includes a cartridge 51, a card rod 52 and a positioning cavity 55. The cartridge 51 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the left card plate 31. A driving plate 53 is slidably connected in the cartridge 51. A driving slot 58 is provided on the left side of the driving plate 53. A card rod 52 is fixedly connected to the right side of the driving plate 53 and passes through the outside of the card plate 31. A plurality of positioning blocks 54 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the side wall of the card rod 52. The positioning cavity 55 is provided inside the right card plate 31. A card rod 54 is provided in the positioning cavity 55 for the card rod 5 2 and the through slot 56 through which the positioning block (54) passes, during the closing process of the two card plates 31, the card plate 31 and the positioning block 54 on the left card plate 31 are inserted into the through slot 56 on the right card plate 31 until the positioning block 54 is inserted into the positioning cavity 55. Then, it is only necessary to rotate the card rod 52 so that the positioning block 54 rotates to a certain position in the positioning cavity 55. The positioning block 54 and the through slot 56 are in a dislocated state. At this time, the card block 517 is clamped in the positioning cavity 55 to complete the locking and fixing of the two card plates 31.

[0024] In some embodiments, the driving slot 58 is a strip-shaped slot, and two positioning blocks 54 are provided. The two positioning blocks 54 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the clamping rod 52 .

[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, the positioning block 54 and the through slot 56 are in a misaligned state, which is equivalent to rotating the clamping rod 52 after the two clamping plates 31 are closed, so that the positioning block 54 is clamped in the positioning cavity 55, so that the two clamping plates 31 are locked.

[0026] like Figure 5 As shown, the positioning block 54 and the through slot 56 are positioned opposite each other, and the clamping rod 52 and the positioning block 54 can slide along the through slot 56 , thereby separating the two clamping plates 31 .

[0027] A return spring 57 is provided in the cartridge 51 and is sleeved on the card rod 52. One end of the return spring 57 is fixedly connected to the cartridge 51, and the other end of the return spring 57 is fixedly connected to the drive plate 53. When the card rod 52 is squeezed to insert the positioning block 54 into the positioning cavity 55, an extrusion force is also generated on the return spring 57. After the extrusion rod is rotated and loosened, the return spring 57 is reset, so that the left side of the positioning block 54 fits tightly with the left side of the positioning cavity 55, which increases the friction between the left side of the positioning block 54 and the left side of the positioning cavity 55, which is more conducive to improving the stability of the two card plates 31 when they are locked.

[0028] In some embodiments, the left side of the positioning block 54 and the left side of the positioning cavity 55 are both provided with anti-slip grooves, which are beneficial to the friction when the positioning block 54 and the positioning cavity 55 are in contact.

[0029] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: when in use, the two clamping rods 52 on one clamping plate 31 are respectively inserted into the other clamping plate 31 along the through groove 56, and the driving plate 53 is squeezed in turn with the help of a tool, so that the driving plate 53 drives the clamping rod 52 and the positioning block 54 to be inserted into the positioning cavity 55, and the driving plate 53 is rotated to rotate the clamping rod 52 and the positioning block 54 until the positioning block 54 and the through groove 56 are in a misaligned state. After the squeezing force on the driving plate 53 is released, the return spring 57 is reset, so that the clamping block 517 is tightly fitted with the side wall of the positioning cavity 55, thereby completing the locking and fixing of the two clamping plates 31, so that the original state of the female component 3 is the closed state; Then, with the help of ear tag pliers, place the puncture pin 2 and the female component 3 into the corresponding grooves on the ear tag pliers, drag the ear tag pliers to the position where the livestock's ear needs to be installed, fix the livestock's ear with one hand, and hold the ear tag pliers with the other hand. After determining the position, pinch the ear tag pliers handle firmly to make the puncture pin 2 pass through the livestock's ear and get stuck in the female component 3, so that the electronic ear tag is firmly installed on the livestock's ear; When disassembly is required, it is only necessary to squeeze the driving plate 53 in sequence and drive the card rod 52 to drive the driving block to rotate so that the driving block is aligned with the through groove 56. At this time, under the action of the return spring 57, the positioning block 54 can be ejected from the positioning cavity 55, so that the positioning block 54 is separated from the card plate 31 along the through groove 56, thereby separating the two card plates 31. There is no need to use tools to break the puncture nail 2 or the female component 3, and the puncture nail 2 and the female component 3 can be removed from the livestock's ear.

Positioning holes 511 are provided at both ends of the locking plate 510. A fixing screw 512 threadedly connected to the fixing groove is movably inserted into the positioning hole 511. Through the provided locking plate 510, after the two card plates 31 are closed to form a disc-shaped structure, the locking plate 510 can be installed inside the fixing groove on the two card plates 31, and with the help of the fixing screw 512, the end of the locking plate 510 is fixed to the corresponding card plate 31, thereby completing the closing operation of the mother component 3, and the two card plates 31 can also be quickly disassembled to complete the opening operation of the mother component 3.

[0032] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: when in use, the two clamping plates 31 are flipped around the hinge, and then the ends of the locking plates 510 are inserted into the fixing grooves on the corresponding clamping plates 31. The ends of the locking plates 510 are fixed to the corresponding clamping plates 31 in sequence by means of fixing screws 512, so that the original state of the female component 3 is the closed state; Then, with the help of ear tag pliers, place the puncture pin 2 and the female component 3 into the corresponding grooves on the ear tag pliers, drag the ear tag pliers to the position where the livestock's ear needs to be installed, fix the livestock's ear with one hand, and hold the ear tag pliers with the other hand. After determining the position, pinch the ear tag pliers handle firmly to make the puncture pin 2 pass through the livestock's ear and get stuck in the female component 3, so that the electronic ear tag is firmly installed on the livestock's ear; When disassembly is required, just remove the fixing screw 512, remove the locking plate 510 from the mother part 3, and then flip the clamping plate 31 to make the mother part 3 open. The puncture nail 2 can be separated from the mother part 3, and there is no need to use tools to break the puncture nail 2 or the mother part 3.
