Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of animal identification, in particular to a quick-detachable sheep foot ring based on RFID. Background Art

[0002] Animal identification is a common animal management tool, usually used for the identification, tracking and management of poultry, livestock and other animals. Animal anklets are a common animal identification tag. Animal anklets are usually made of durable materials such as plastic or metal. They are ring-shaped and can be worn on the feet of animals. Animal anklets usually have a unique identification method to identify the identity information of each animal, which enables breeders to accurately track important information such as the health status, breeding records, and growth of each animal. Compared with other identification methods, such as neck collars or ear tags, animal anklets are less likely to be lost or removed by animals, which makes animal anklets a stable and reliable identification method that can be used for a long time without frequent replacement.

[0003] Most of the animal foot rings currently on the market are suitable for poultry, racing pigeons, etc., while ear tags and other identification are more commonly used for livestock such as cattle and sheep. Whether it is an ear tag or a foot ring, animal identification based on RFID identification technology has become more common. Since ear tags and other identification are easily lost or removed by animals, the animal foot rings for poultry and other birds in the existing technology have defects such as short recognition distance and difficulty in replacing RFID chips, and cannot be well applied to the sheep breeding environment. Therefore, it is necessary to design a foot ring suitable for livestock such as cattle and sheep. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the defects of animal foot rings in the prior art, such as short recognition distance, difficulty in replacing RFID chips, and poor applicability in sheep breeding environments, the utility model proposes a quick-release sheep foot ring based on RFID.

[0006] Furthermore, a soft cushion layer is provided on the inner side of the strip.

[0007] Furthermore, the RFID chip module includes a main body, an inner cavity is opened at one end of the main body facing the card connector, the card connector is carded in the inner cavity, and an RFID chip, a main antenna and the contacts are arranged on a side wall of the inner cavity.

[0008] Furthermore, the card connector includes an insertion end, the insertion end is inserted into the inner cavity and is fixedly connected to the inner cavity, and the conductive sheet is also provided on one side of the insertion end, and the conductive sheet corresponds to the contact point.

It should be understood that other embodiments may also be used, and mechanical composition, structure, electrical and operational changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. The following detailed description should not be considered restrictive, and the scope of the embodiments of the present application is limited only by the claims of the published patents. The terms used here are only to describe specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application. Spatially related terms, such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "below", "below", "lower", "above", "upper", etc., may be used in the text to facilitate the description of the relationship between an element or feature shown in the figure and another element or feature.

[0021] This application proposes a quick-release sheep foot ring based on RFID. Figure 1 , 2 As shown, it includes a strip 1, a soft cushion layer 7, an RFID chip 9 module 3, a card connector 2 and an auxiliary antenna 4. The soft cushion layer 7 is sleeved around the sheep's foot. One end of the strip 1 is fixedly provided with a card connector 2, and the other end of the strip 1 is detachably provided with an RFID chip 9 module 3. The strip 1 has good strength and a certain deformation ability. The card connector 2 and the RFID chip 9 module 3 are clamped and fixed. The strip 1 is clamped on the outside of the soft cushion layer 7, and the card connector 2 and the RFID chip 9 module 3 are clamped so that the sheep's foot ring is fixed on the sheep's foot.

[0022] Furthermore, the RFID chip 9 module 3 includes a main body, an inner cavity 8 is opened at one end of the main body facing the card connector 2, and an RFID chip 9, a main antenna 10 and a contact 6 are provided on the side wall of the inner cavity 8, and the RFID chip 9, the main antenna 10 and the contact 6 are connected; the card connector 2 includes an insertion end 11, the insertion end 11 is inserted into the inner cavity 8 and is fixed with the inner cavity 8, and the auxiliary antenna 4 is synchronously fixed in the inner cavity 8 by being embedded in the card connector 2, the auxiliary antenna 4 includes a conductive sheet 5 and an antenna main body, the antenna main body is embedded in the strip 1, and the conductive sheet 5 is arranged on the card connector 2 and exposed on one side of the insertion end 11, after the insertion end 11 is inserted into the inner cavity 8, the side surface of the insertion end 11 is relatively fitted with the side surface of the inner cavity 8 (attached Figure 2For ease of illustration, the surface of the conductive sheet 5 provided at the insertion end 11 is displayed in a mirror image), so that the conductive sheet 5 is in contact and electrically connected with the contact 6, thereby increasing the volume of the antenna and achieving the effect of long-distance recognition. At the same time, after replacing any RFID chip 9 module 3, the auxiliary antenna 4 set on the strip 1 can be used to increase the recognition distance.

[0023] Furthermore, by providing a plurality of protrusions 14 on the conductive sheet 5 for contacting and conducting with the contact points 6 , the contact stability is improved.

[0024] Preferably, the auxiliary antenna 4 is a flexible copper foil, which can be well used in the strip 1 and meet the flexibility requirement of the strip 1 .

[0025] Among them, the fixing method of the insertion end 11 and the RFID chip 9 module 3 is as follows: a plurality of arc-shaped protrusions 12 are arranged on both the upper and lower sides of the insertion end 11, and a notch 13 matching the arc-shaped protrusions 12 is arranged inside the inner cavity 8. When the arc-shaped protrusions 12 are located in the notch 13, the card connector 2 and the RFID chip 9 module 3 can be fixed by card connection, and the arc-shaped protrusions 12 are easier to plug and unplug. At the same time, in the utility model, the card connector 2 is made of rubber material, so that the insertion end 11 can have a certain deformation ability and insulation effect, so that the arc-shaped protrusions 12 can be compressed when inserted into the cavity, until the arc-shaped protrusions 12 are located in the notch 13, a certain fastening effect can be maintained, and after the card connection is fixed, the gap between the insertion end 11 and the cavity of the RFID chip 9 module 3 can be blocked by the expansion effect of the rubber, which has a good sealing effect.

[0026] In one embodiment, the RFID chip 9 is fixedly connected to the strip 1 by a plurality of small screws.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
