[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0024] The utility model provides Figure 1-3The smart capsule shown in the figure can monitor the physiological characteristics of cattle, including a capsule sleeve 1, an integrated shell 2, a mounting plate 3, a fixing plate 4, a CPU mainboard 5, a temperature monitor 6, a pressure monitor 7 and an activity counter 8. The integrated shell 2 is sleeved on the inside of the capsule sleeve 1. The capsule sleeve 1 is made of polyamide and has the function of protecting the internal sensor. The polyamide capsule has good biocompatibility, corrosion resistance and durability, and can be used as an effective protective material to protect the internal sensor from the external environment, ensure the accuracy and life of the sensor, and has moderate softness. The polyamide capsule has good softness and can adapt to the epidermal curve of the cattle to reduce the discomfort during the implantation process. At the same time, this softness can also ensure that the capsule will not fall off easily during the growth and exercise of the cattle. It is non-irritating. As a material with good biocompatibility, the polyamide capsule will not cause inflammatory or rejection reactions after being implanted in the cattle epidermis, reducing the risk of the implantation process. It has antibacterial effect. Antibacterial agents can also be added to the polyamide capsule to reduce the risk of infection at the implantation site. The polyamide capsule is implanted into the cattle epidermis, and the mounting plate 3 and the fixing plate 4 are snapped into the integrated shell. The inside of the body 2, the fixing plate 4 is provided with a connecting groove on one side facing the mounting plate 3, the side of the mounting plate 3 is slidably engaged with the connecting groove, the CPU mainboard 5 is installed on the top of the mounting plate 3, the temperature monitor 6, the pressure monitor 7 and the activity counter 8 are respectively installed on the outside of the fixing plate 4, and the integrated housing 2 is provided with mounting holes matching the temperature monitor 6, the pressure monitor 7 and the activity counter 8, a button battery 9 and a Bluetooth transmission module 10 are installed on the top of the mounting plate 3, the button battery 9 is used for the CPU mainboard 5, the temperature monitor 6, the pressure monitor 7, the activity counter 8 The momentum counter 8 and the Bluetooth transmission module 10 provide power for operation, the temperature monitor 6 can monitor the changes in the body temperature of the cattle in real time and prevent them. In terms of cattle health monitoring, the body temperature of the cattle can be clearly known and abnormal conditions can be discovered in time. The activity counter 8 mainly collects the measurement of all behavioral activity states of the cattle such as daily exercise, rumination, and lying down, which is the measurement of the number of walking steps, the number of ruminations, and the lying down time. The activity meter realizes automatic collection, highly accurately measures the activity of the cattle, and provides real-time data. The activity counter 8 can monitor the lying down and standing time of the cattle.If a cow stands or lies alone in a corner of a cowshed for more than 14 hours, it is a precursor to illness. If a cow stands for too long, the sole of the hoof will be subjected to excessive pressure, which will cause damage to the germinal layer cells of the sole of the hoof or even death. The pressure monitor 7 is used to monitor when the cow mounts and then obtain the estrus stage of the cow. The analysis and early warning of the cow's mounting behavior through pressure monitoring can provide important health and behavior information, help breeders or veterinarians to timely discover the estrus behavior of cattle and solve potential health problems of cattle, promote the healthy growth of cattle and improve breeding efficiency. It is an effective management method to estimate the pressure value of the cow's mounting behavior to be 100 kg and set the triggering of an early warning when the pressure value exceeds this value. The early warning system sets a preset pressure threshold. When the pressure generated by the cow's mounting behavior is monitored to exceed the threshold, the early warning system can be triggered. The early warning can notify the breeder or veterinarian through an alarm device, a mobile phone message, etc., so that timely measures can be taken, which helps to discover possible problems of cattle, such as abnormal posture, leg discomfort, etc., and timely take treatment or adjust feeding management measures.

[0025] In particular, the integrated shell 2 includes a first mounting shell 21, a second mounting shell 22 and a positioning cap 23. The first mounting shell 21 and the second mounting shell 22 are symmetrically sleeved on the inside of the capsule sleeve 1. The mounting holes opened on the first mounting shell 21 and the second mounting shell 22 can ensure the normal operation of the temperature monitor 6, the pressure monitor 7 and the activity counter 8, and the first mounting shell 21 and the second mounting shell 22 can protect them to prevent the capsule sleeve 1 from being subjected to excessive pressure as a whole, resulting in damage. The outer wall of the positioning cap 23 is fixedly sleeved with the first mounting shell 21, and the end of the outer wall of the mounting plate 3 is slidably engaged with the positioning cap 23. The fixing plate 4 is located between adjacent positioning caps 23. The first mounting shell 21 and the second mounting shell 22 are internally slidably sleeved with a binding ring 24, and the binding ring 24 is slidably engaged with the outside of the fixing plate 4. The two positioning caps 23 and the binding ring 24 can clamp and bind the mounting plate 3 and the four fixing plates 4, that is, the two positioning caps 23 bind the two ends of the mounting plate 3, and the binding ring 24 can bind the middle part of the four fixing plates 4.

[0026] Furthermore, the top and bottom of the fixed plate 4 are fixedly connected with positioning blocks 25, and the top and bottom of the inner wall of the restraining ring 24 are fixedly connected with docking blocks 26. The docking blocks 26 are located between the corresponding positioning blocks 25, that is, the docking blocks 26 are located between the four positioning blocks 25. The positioning block 25 is fixedly connected with a clamping block 27 on the side facing the docking block 26. The docking block 26 is provided with a clamping groove matching the clamping block 27 on the side facing the positioning block 25. A first magnet 28 is fixedly embedded on one side of the clamping block 27, and a second magnet 29 is fixedly embedded in the inside of the clamping groove. The first magnet 28 and the second magnet 29 have opposite magnetic poles relative to each other, so that under the action of the first magnet 28 and the second magnet 29, the stability of the clamping connection between the clamping block 27 and the docking block 26 can be improved, thereby ensuring the stability of the assembly of the integrated shell 2.

[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein.
