Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of livestock and veterinary equipment technology, and in particular to a highly efficient and convenient ear tag for livestock and veterinary use. Background Technology

[0002] As modern animal husbandry continues to develop towards large-scale, standardized, and digitalized operations, the demand for refined animal management is becoming increasingly prominent. Ear tags, as a crucial tool for individual animal identification, growth data tracking, disease prevention and control traceability, and standardized management of breeding records, are playing an increasingly critical role in livestock production and operations. From the breeding stage, ear tags can accurately record data such as the birth date, bloodline, feed consumption, and growth cycle of each animal, providing a basis for scientifically adjusting breeding plans and helping to improve breeding yield and quality. In terms of disease prevention and control, once an outbreak occurs, the information associated with ear tags can quickly trace the animal's movement and contact groups, facilitating timely implementation of control measures such as isolation and culling, effectively curbing the spread of the epidemic. In the slaughtering, processing, and distribution stages, ear tag information is an important credential for ensuring food safety traceability. Consumers can learn about the entire breeding process of livestock and poultry through scanning codes, enhancing their trust in the food.

[0003] However, in actual use, traditional hand-press ear tagging devices have revealed significant limitations. Although they can achieve rapid ear tag installation, given the large number of livestock on farms, operators need to frequently press the device. This prolonged, high-intensity, repetitive action can easily lead to hand muscle soreness, which can exacerbate muscle strain over time. This not only affects work efficiency but may also pose potential health risks to the operators. Furthermore, during the ear tagging process, the lack of effective hygiene protection design in traditional hand-press ear tagging devices allows wounds on the animal's ear to come into contact with pathogens or contaminants in the environment, increasing the risk of infection for livestock and posing additional health hazards to livestock management. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the existing technology and to propose a highly efficient and convenient ear tag for animal husbandry and veterinary use.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A high-efficiency and fast ear tag for animal husbandry and veterinary use includes an L-shaped fixing frame. A sliding plate is slidably connected to the side of the L-shaped fixing frame. A side rack is fixedly connected to the side of the sliding plate. A fixing pin is installed at the bottom of the sliding plate. A first gear is meshed with the side rack. The first gear passes through a fixing shell and is fixedly connected to a second gear. The second gear is meshed with a shell. A replenishment mechanism for replenishing male and female clips is provided inside the shell. An installation box is fixedly installed on the side of the L-shaped fixing frame. A compression rod is slidably connected to the installation box. An inner spring is installed at the bottom of the compression rod. An air bladder is sleeved inside the inner spring. The air bladder is connected to an tracheal tube. A disinfection mechanism is fixedly installed on the side of the sliding plate. The disinfection mechanism includes a first spray chamber located on the side of the sliding plate. A cylindrical cylinder is located on the side of the first spray chamber. A cylindrical block is slidably connected to the cylindrical cylinder. A compressible spring is provided in the interlayer between the cylindrical block and the cylindrical cylinder. A second spray chamber is located on the side of the fixing shell. A cylindrical cylinder and a cylindrical block are also located on the side of the second spray chamber.

[0006] The above technical solution further includes: The supplementary mechanism includes an inner shell disposed inside the outer shell. A track block is fixedly installed inside the inner shell. A first suction cup push rod is fixedly installed above the track block, and a second suction cup push rod is fixedly installed below the track block. The surface of the inner shell is provided with holes for the extension and retraction of the first and second suction cup push rods. A support block is fixedly installed inside the outer shell. A track cylinder is fixedly connected to the side of the support block, and an electric slide rod is slidably connected to the track cylinder.

[0007] A fixing block is fixedly connected to the side of the L-shaped fixing frame, and an electric push rod is provided above the fixing block. A sliding plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod.

[0008] The surface of the fixed shell is also provided with holes for the extension and retraction of the first suction cup push rod and the second suction cup push rod.

[0009] The outer casing has a socket for inserting a rod, which is fixed to the side of the baffle.

[0010] A handle is fixedly installed on the side of the L-shaped bracket, and the surface of the handle is provided with an anti-slip layer.

[0011] When using an ear tag, operators should hold the handle with a non-slip layer. This increases the friction between the hand and the handle, preventing slippage caused by equipment shaking or sweaty hands during operation. This facilitates stable operation of the equipment, reduces fatigue caused by the need to exert extra force to maintain balance due to hand instability, and improves the safety and stability of operation.

[0012] The L-shaped fixing bracket has a groove on its surface for placing the female buckle.

[0013] This groove provides a fixed placement position for the female buckle, ensuring that it will not move during installation. This allows the male and female buckles to be precisely aligned and engaged, preventing ear tags from being misaligned or falling off due to misalignment of the female buckle. It also reduces the probability of secondary operations and improves the accuracy and efficiency of ear tag installation.

[0014] The bottom of the fixed block is provided with a buffer spring to prevent excessive compression of the sliding plate.

[0015] When the sliding plate descends to install the ear tag, the buffer spring can cushion the excessive compression of the sliding plate, reduce the impact of the sliding plate on related components, not only protect the equipment parts and extend their service life, but also reduce the reaction force felt by the operator during operation, reduce discomfort caused by hand vibration, and reduce the risk of muscle strain.

[0016] Multiple sets of track cylinders are provided on the side of the support block.

[0017] Multiple sets of track cylinders can work with electric slide rods to simultaneously push multiple sets of male nails and female clips, enabling continuous ear tag installation without frequent machine stops for ear tag refilling. This significantly reduces operation interruption time, improves ear tag installation efficiency in large-scale farming scenarios, and reduces the workload of operators who frequently manually refill ear tags.

[0018] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this invention, the ear tag automatically pushes the male and female tags through an electric slide rod and track cylinder on the side of the support block. This, combined with an electric push rod driving the sliding plate, completes the piercing action, replacing the manual pressing and loading process of traditional hand-operated ear tags. This automated collaborative design reduces the frequency of repetitive actions by operators and lowers the continuous load on hand muscles. It avoids muscle soreness and strain caused by prolonged operation and maintains consistent installation efficiency through the stable output of the mechanical structure, solving the problem of decreased efficiency in large-scale farming operations. 2. This invention integrates an instant disinfection function, reducing the probability of animal infection. The device utilizes a sliding plate that descends while a side rack compresses a compression rod, linking the first and second spray chambers via airbags, air tubes, and other components. This automatically sprays disinfectant simultaneously with ear tag installation. This synchronized design of tagging and disinfection avoids the problem of delayed or missed disinfection steps in traditional equipment, ensuring that animal ear wounds receive hygienic protection from the initial exposure stage. This reduces the risk of pathogen infection through the wound and provides hardware protection for biosecurity in animal husbandry management. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-10As shown, this invention is a high-efficiency and fast ear tag for animal husbandry and veterinary use, including an L-shaped fixing frame 1. A sliding plate 5 is slidably connected to the side of the L-shaped fixing frame 1. A side rack 6 is fixedly connected to the side of the sliding plate 5. A fixing pin 13 is installed at the bottom of the sliding plate 5. A first gear 8 is meshed with the side rack 6. The first gear 8 passes through a fixing shell 7 and is fixedly connected to a second gear 9. The second gear 9 is meshed with a shell 10. A supplementary mechanism for supplementing male and female ear tags is provided inside the shell 10. An installation box 1403 is fixedly installed on the side of the L-shaped fixing frame 1. A compression rod 1407 is slidably connected to the installation box 1403. A box spring 1405 is installed at the bottom, and an airbag 1406 is fitted inside the box spring 1405. The airbag 1406 is connected to the air pipe 1404. A disinfection mechanism is fixedly installed on the side of the sliding plate 5. The disinfection mechanism includes a first spray chamber 14 set on the side of the sliding plate 5. A cylindrical cylinder 1401 is set on the side of the first spray chamber 14. A cylindrical block 1402 is slidably connected to the cylindrical cylinder 1401. A compressible spring is set in the interlayer between the cylindrical block 1402 and the cylindrical cylinder 1401. A second spray chamber 1408 is set on the side of the fixed shell 7. A cylindrical cylinder 1401 and a cylindrical block 1402 are also set on the side of the second spray chamber 1408.

[0023] In one embodiment, the supplementary mechanism includes an inner shell 11 disposed inside the outer shell 10. A track block 15 is fixedly installed inside the inner shell 11. A first suction cup push rod 16 is fixedly installed above the track block 15, and a second suction cup push rod 17 is fixedly installed below the track block 15. Holes are provided on the surface of the inner shell 11 for the extension and retraction of the first suction cup push rod 16 and the second suction cup push rod 17. A support block 18 is fixedly installed inside the outer shell 10. A track cylinder 20 is fixedly connected to the side of the support block 18, and an electric slide rod 19 is slidably connected to the track cylinder 20.

[0024] In one embodiment, for the L-shaped fixing frame 1, a fixing block 3 is fixedly connected to the side of the L-shaped fixing frame 1, an electric push rod 4 is provided above the fixing block 3, and a sliding plate 5 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 4.

[0025] In one embodiment, the surface of the fixed shell 7 is also provided with holes for the extension and retraction of the first suction cup push rod 16 and the second suction cup push rod 17.

[0026] In one embodiment, the outer casing 10 has a socket 1202 on its side for inserting a rod 1201, and the rod 1201 is fixed to the side of the baffle 12.

[0027] In one embodiment, for the L-shaped fixing bracket 1, a handle 2 is fixedly installed on the side of the L-shaped fixing bracket 1, and an anti-slip layer is provided on the surface of the handle 2.

[0028] In this embodiment, when the operator uses the ear tag, holding the handle 2 with the anti-slip layer increases the friction between the hand and the handle, preventing slippage caused by equipment shaking or sweaty hands during operation. This facilitates stable operation of the equipment, reduces fatigue caused by the need to exert extra force to maintain balance due to unstable hands, and improves the safety and stability of operation.

[0029] In one embodiment, for the L-shaped fixing bracket 1 described above, a groove for placing the female buckle is formed on the surface of the L-shaped fixing bracket 1.

[0030] In this embodiment, the groove provides a fixed placement position for the female buckle, ensuring that the female buckle will not move arbitrarily during installation. This allows the male nail and the female buckle to be precisely aligned and engaged, preventing the ear tag from being misaligned or falling off due to the positional deviation of the female buckle. This reduces the probability of secondary operations and improves the accuracy and efficiency of ear tag installation.

[0031] In one embodiment, the bottom of the fixing block 3 is provided with a buffer spring for excessive compression of the sliding plate 5.

[0032] In this embodiment, when the sliding plate 5 descends to perform the ear tag installation operation, the buffer spring can buffer the excessive compression of the sliding plate 5, reduce the impact force of the sliding plate 5 on related components, not only protect the equipment parts and extend their service life, but also reduce the reaction force felt by the operator during operation, reduce the discomfort caused by hand vibration, and reduce the risk of muscle strain.

[0033] In one embodiment, the support block 18 is provided with multiple sets of track cylinders 20 on its side.

[0034] In this embodiment, multiple sets of track cylinders 20 can work with electric slide rods 19 to simultaneously push multiple sets of male nails and female clips, realizing continuous operation of ear tag installation without frequent machine stops for ear tag filling, greatly reducing operation interruption time, improving ear tag installation efficiency in large-scale breeding scenarios, and reducing the workload of operators frequently manually filling ear tags.

[0035] The working principle of the efficient and fast ear tag for animal husbandry and veterinary use in this invention is as follows: In the preparation stage, the male nail and the female buckle are placed inside the inner shell 11, with the male nail located above the track block 15 and the female buckle located below the track block 15. Multiple sets of male nails and female buckles can be placed above the track block 15 for convenient use. When in use, after each male nail and female buckle is used, the electric sliding rod 19 and track cylinder 20 on the side of the support block 18 will push the next male nail to move. Since there are two sets of electric sliding rods 19 and track cylinders 20 on the side of the support block 18, the male nail and the female buckle can be pushed at the same time. After the male and female fasteners of the previous animal are installed, the sliding plate 5 moves upward, causing the side rack 6 to move upward. The side rack 6 then meshes with the first gear 8, which in turn rotates the second gear 801. The second gear 801 meshes with the outer shell 10, and finally the inner shell 11 is below the fixing pin 13. At this time, the male and female fasteners are respectively adsorbed on the surfaces of the first suction cup push rod 16 and the second suction cup push rod 17. Then, the first suction cup push rod 16 and the second suction cup push rod 17 are extended, and the male fastener is fitted onto the surface of the fixing pin 13, while the female fastener is placed in the groove at the bottom of the L-shaped fixing frame 1. Subsequently, when marking the animal, the male fastener is marked by two sets of electric sliding rods 19 and track cylinders 20. The male and female clips are pushed above the first suction cup push rod 16 and the second suction cup push rod 17, respectively. After the push is completed, the suction cups on the surfaces of the first suction cup push rod 16 and the second suction cup push rod 17 will respectively attract the male and female clips. At this time, the control block 3 pushes the sliding plate 5 to descend. When the sliding plate 5 descends, it will drive the side rack 6 to slide. The side rack 6 will mesh with the first gear 8. The first gear 8 will then penetrate the fixed shell 7 and drive the second gear 801 to rotate. The second gear 801 will mesh with the outer shell 10. After the outer shell 10 enters the interior of the fixed shell 7, the two sets of electric sliding rods 19 will respectively push the male and female clips to the top of the first suction cup push rod 16 and the second suction cup push rod 17, which is convenient for the next ear tag preparation. It is worth mentioning that when the sliding plate 5 slides downwards, the side rack 6 will compress the compression rod 1407. The compression rod 1407 compresses the inner spring 1405 and the airbag 1406. At this time, the gas inside the airbag 1406 will enter the surface of the cylindrical block 1402 through the air pipe 1404. The end of the air pipe 1404 away from the mounting box 1403 will be sleeved on the surface of the cylindrical cylinder 1401. When the cylindrical block 1402 is compressed by the gas in the air pipe 1404, the cylindrical block 1402 will slide along the inner wall of the cylindrical cylinder 1401. A spring is provided on one side of the cylindrical block 1402. At this time, the spring is compressed, thereby spraying disinfectant inside the first spray chamber 14. At this point, the ear tagging task is completed, and the livestock that has just been tagged is disinfected. After the ear tagging is completed, the side rack 6 no longer compresses the compression rod 1407, and the compression rod 1407 no longer compresses the airbag 1406. At this time, the spring on the side of the cylindrical block 1402 will release elastic potential energy to restore the cylindrical block 1402 to its initial state, and the gas will re-enter the airbag 1406. The inner spring 1405 at the bottom of the compression rod 1407 will also release elastic potential energy to restore the compression rod 1407 to its initial state. It is worth mentioning that the second spray chamber 1408 is also equipped with a cylindrical cylinder 1401, a cylindrical block 1402, and a spring on the side of the cylindrical block 1402.

[0036] In addition, the side of the baffle 12 is provided with a plug rod 1201 that can be inserted into the socket 1202 to prevent the inner shell 11 from moving. When it is necessary to replenish the male and female pins inside the inner shell 11, the plug rod 1201 can slide out of the socket 1202.

[0037] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
