Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of livestock breeding, and in particular to an animal wearable device. Background Art

[0002] With the advent of the information technology, China's animal husbandry is undergoing a drastic change, from traditional, domestic, scattered, small-scale workshop production to modern, intensive, group-based large-scale breeding. Animal husbandry is developing in the direction of informatization, digitization, and intelligence. Various scientific and technological products based on farmed animals are constantly emerging, including electronic ear tags using RFID technology to confirm animal identity, temperature ear tags for measuring animal body temperature, cameras to monitor the health of pigs, and various devices that use coughing sounds to identify animal diseases.

[0003] At present, the temperature detection point for animals is usually the ear, that is, the temperature measuring device is fixed to the ear of the animal by penetrating the ear lobe to prevent the temperature measuring device from falling. However, due to the special structure of the external ear and the simple penetrating fixing method of the ear tag, the ear temperature data measured as the animal's body temperature data is not accurate, and the data deviation is large. The prior art has found through animal histology that animals have more capillaries in the neck, which is the temperature sensitive area of ​​the animal. It is more accurate to measure the temperature data of the animal's neck as the animal's body temperature data. However, most wearable devices on the market currently have difficulty in achieving long-term fixation of the temperature measuring device on the animal's body surface, especially the neck. After a short period of adhesion, the wearable device will fall off due to the shaking caused by the animal's movement or the collision with obstacles during movement. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings, the present invention provides an animal wearable device, which includes

[0006] a puncture assembly, the puncture assembly being arranged in the fixing portion corresponding to the mounting hole; and

[0007] The active part can drive the puncture component to rotate so that the puncture component punctures the target layer.

[0008] Furthermore, the puncture assembly comprises

[0009] A driven part, the driven part cooperates with the active part, and the active part can drive the driven part to rotate; and

[0010] The puncture needle is connected to the driven part and can rotate synchronously with the driven part so that the puncture needle punctures the target layer.

[0011] Furthermore, the needle includes an arc-shaped portion, a connecting portion is provided at one end of the arc-shaped portion, and a needle tip is provided at the other end, the arc-shaped portion has a first plane, and the arc-shaped portion in the first plane is spirally coiled around a second axis perpendicular to the first plane at one end of the connecting portion, and the needle as a whole can rotate along the circumference of the above-mentioned connecting portion.

[0012] Furthermore, the wearable device also includes a functional module, which can be accommodated in the above-mentioned fixing part.

[0013] By making the lower surface of the fixed part of the wearable device fit with the skin of the target position of the animal, a force that can make the active part rotate is applied to the active part, so that the active part drives the above-mentioned driven part to rotate, thereby driving the needle to move, so that the needle tip pierces the target layer from the first target position point and passes through the skin from the second target point, thereby achieving the fixation of the entire wearable device to the animal, and then achieving the wearable device to be worn on the neck of the animal for a long time, which can effectively avoid the shaking caused by the animal's movement or the falling caused by scratching with obstacles, and at the same time, it can make the sensing or detection part of the functional module that needs to fit the target layer close to the surface of the animal's skin, thereby improving the measurement accuracy of the data. The above-mentioned driven part and the needle are wrapped by the first mounting component and the second mounting component, which can form protection for the needle and the driven part. The lower surface of the second mounting component is flush with the lower surface of the fixed part, which can make the entire wearable device better fit the animal's skin.

[0014] Furthermore, the connecting portion has a first axis, which is a central axis of the connecting portion, and the first axis and the second axis have an included angle.

[0015] Furthermore, the height of the connection between the needle tip and the arc-shaped portion is higher than the end of the needle tip away from the arc-shaped portion.

[0016] Furthermore, the needle tip and / or the arc-shaped portion is in a pyramid shape.

[0017] Through the above arrangement, when the needle approaches the target layer, the needle tip will first contact the target layer, thereby facilitating the needle to penetrate the target layer more easily and achieve puncture of the target layer.

[0018] Furthermore, the wearable device also includes a sealing portion, which is sealed at the upper opening of the fixed portion. The sealing portion and the fixed portion form a sealed space that can accommodate the above-mentioned functional module, the active portion and the puncture assembly.

[0021] The sealing part, the functional module and the active part are integrated into one, so that the active part can be rotated by rotating the sealing part sealed at the top opening of the fixed part, which is more convenient for puncture operation.

[0022] Furthermore, an anti-bite layer is provided on the outer surface of the sealing portion.

[0023] By providing an anti-bite layer, animals can be prevented from gnawing and biting off the device.

[0024] The utility model has the following advantages:

[0049] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0050] In this document, relational terms such as first and second, etc., are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprises", or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0051] As described in the background technology, animals have more capillaries in their necks, and measuring the temperature data of their necks as their body temperature data is more accurate. However, most wearable devices currently on the market are difficult to achieve long-term fixation of the temperature measuring devices. After short-term wearing, the temperature measuring devices may fall off due to shaking caused by the animal's movement or collision with obstacles during movement.

[0052] Embodiment 1:

[0053] Therefore, in order to solve the above technical defects, this embodiment provides an animal wearable device, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the wearable device includes

[0054] The fixing part 200, the lower surface of which can be in contact with the contact surface, can accommodate functional modules, such as Figure 5 As shown, a mounting hole 201 is provided on the lower surface of the fixing portion 200;

[0055] A puncture assembly 500, wherein the puncture assembly 500 is installed in the fixing portion 200, and a working portion of the puncture assembly 500 is disposed in the mounting hole 201; and

[0056] The active part 600 can drive the puncture assembly 500 to rotate so that the puncture assembly 500 punctures the target layer.

[0057] Among them, Figure 6 , 7 As shown, the puncture assembly 500 includes a driven part 502 and a puncture needle 504. The driven part cooperates with the active part, and the active part can drive the driven part to rotate. The puncture needle is connected to the driven part and can rotate synchronously with the driven part to puncture the target layer.

[0058] like Figure 8 As shown, the above-mentioned needle 504 includes an arc-shaped portion 504A, a connecting portion 404B is provided at one end of the arc-shaped portion, and a needle tip 504A is provided at the other end. The arc-shaped portion has a first plane 504F, and the arc-shaped portion in the first plane is spirally wound around a second axis 504E perpendicular to the first plane at one end of the connecting portion. The whole needle can rotate along the circumference of the above-mentioned connecting portion, and the circumferential motion is a rotational motion around the first axis of the connecting portion, and the first axis is the central axis of the connecting portion.

[0059] In this embodiment, the arc-shaped portion 504B and the needle tip may be located in the same first plane, and the first plane may be perpendicular to the first axis of the connecting portion.

[0060] The utility model attaches the lower surface of the fixed part of the wearable device to the target position skin of the animal, applies a force to the active part to make it rotate, so that the active part drives the above-mentioned driven part to rotate, thereby driving the needle to rotate, so that the needle tip pierces the target layer from the first target position point and passes through the skin from the second target point, thereby achieving the fixation of the entire wearable device and the animal epidermis. The above-mentioned target layer can be the animal skin.

[0061] Through the above-mentioned wearable device, the functional module can be worn for a long time, which can effectively prevent it from falling off due to shaking caused by the animal's movement or collision with obstacles.

[0062] The active part and the driven part described in this embodiment can be a gear structure that meshes with each other. That is, the rotation of the needle is achieved by rotating the active gear to drive the driven gear, and the rotating needle can penetrate the target layer from the first target position point and pass through the skin from the second target point, thereby achieving the fixation of the entire wearable device and the animal.

[0063] In addition, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a sealing portion 100 may also be provided on the upper portion of the fixing portion, and the sealing portion and the fixing portion form a sealed space to seal the functional module, the active portion and the puncture assembly therein.

[0064] like Figure 5 As shown, a recessed hole 202 may be opened at the position of the fixed part corresponding to the functional module, and the sensing or detecting part of the functional module that needs to fit the skin may be embedded in the recessed hole 202 so that the part is flush with the lower surface of the fixed part or slightly protrudes from the lower surface of the fixed part, and the sensing or detecting part of the functional module forms a seal with the hole wall of the recessed hole.

[0065] In addition, if Figure 6 , 7As shown, the above-mentioned puncture assembly may also include a first mounting component 501 and a second mounting component 502, the first mounting component 501 is fixed in the fixing part, the second mounting component 502 is fixed with the first mounting component to form a receiving cavity that can partially accommodate the above-mentioned puncture needle and the driven part, the above-mentioned fixing method includes but is not limited to buckling, clamping, welding or integral molding, the lower surface of the second mounting component corresponds to the position of the puncture needle. The notch is arranged along the movement trajectory of the needle tip, the lower part of the second mounting component 502 is embedded in the above-mentioned mounting hole, and the lower surface of the second mounting component 502 is flush with the lower surface of the above-mentioned fixing part, and the side is sealed with the hole wall of the mounting hole, and the driven part exposes the receiving cavity on one side to cooperate with the active part to connect.

[0066] The sensing or detecting part of the functional module forms a seal with the hole wall of the recessed hole, and the side of the second mounting component 502 forms a seal with the hole wall of the mounting hole, thereby preventing sweat, dirt, etc. from entering the fixing part and causing damage to the functional module. The lower surface of the second mounting component is flush with the lower surface of the fixing part, so that the wearable device can fit the target layer more closely.

[0067] In addition, the above-mentioned mounting holes can be distributed in a reverse direction around the center of the fixing portion, and the puncture components are arranged corresponding to the number of mounting holes. The above-mentioned puncture components and mounting holes can be arranged in 4 to 6 groups, preferably 5 groups.

[0068] It should be noted that the functional modules described in this embodiment are devices existing in the prior art, and have one or more functions such as temperature measurement, positioning, and heart rate monitoring.

[0069] Embodiment 2:

[0070] In the puncture needle structure described in Example 1, since the arc portion 504B and the needle tip are in the same plane, the connecting portion is perpendicular to the plane where the arc portion 504B and the needle tip are located. At this time, the plane where the arc portion and the needle tip are located is parallel to the lower surface of the fixed portion, resulting in that when the lower surface of the fixed portion is in contact with the target layer, the arc portion and the needle tip contact the target layer at the same time, so that when the active portion is rotated, it is difficult for the needle tip to easily penetrate the target layer.

[0071] Therefore, in order to solve this technical problem, this embodiment improves the needle structure in embodiment 1, such as Figures 8-10 As shown, the connecting portion has a first axis 504D, which is the central axis of the connecting portion, and the first axis and the second axis have an angle, which is an acute angle. At this time, the first axis is no longer perpendicular to the first plane.

[0072] Through the above improvements, Figures 11 to 13As shown, when the lower surface of the fixing part is in contact with the target layer, the needle tip first contacts the target layer, so when the active part is rotated, the needle tip can more easily penetrate into the target layer from the first target point and pass through the target layer from the second target point.

[0073] In addition, the needle tip can be bent downward at a predetermined angle so that the needle tip deviates from the plane where the arc portion is located.

[0074] In order for the needle to pierce the target layer more easily, the needle tip and / or the arc-shaped portion may be designed to be a pyramid, preferably a triangular pyramid.

[0075] Embodiment 3:

[0076] like Fig.14 As shown, in this embodiment, the functional module 400 is directly fixed on the inner surface of the sealing part, and the active part 600 is installed on the outer side of the functional module.

[0077] Through the above arrangement, the sealing part, the functional module and the active part are integrated, so that the active part can be rotated by rotating the sealing part sealed at the top opening of the fixed part, which is more convenient for the puncture operation.

[0078] Embodiment 4:

[0079] In order to prevent animals from gnawing on the wearable device and causing it to fall off, this embodiment proposes an improvement based on the above-mentioned embodiment 3. In this embodiment, an anti-bite layer is provided on the outer surface of the sealing portion, and the anti-bite layer may be composed of a bittering agent.

[0080] The anti-bite layer can effectively prevent animals from biting the wearable device.

[0081] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
