Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of animal breeding, and in particular to an intelligent ear tag and an ear tag wearing device. Background Art

[0002] The current digital problems that the animal husbandry industry urgently needs to solve are: how to automatically monitor the health of animals in the breeding process, how to remotely monitor animal assets throughout the entire process, and realize the digitization of animal assets. Traditional ear tags generally use QR codes as identification, and electronic ear tags generally use passive RFID as identification, so they cannot solve the above problems. In order to solve the above problems, there are existing ear tags with monitoring modules, such as the smart ear tags in the patent document with announcement number CN213939287U, but this type of smart ear tag has the following shortcomings: the battery is set on the secondary tag, and the battery on the secondary tag is connected to other electronic modules on the main tag through the ear tag nail as an electrode. The ear tag nail as an electrode will reduce the waterproof level and easily cause battery leakage; in addition, the main tag has no perforations, and the ear tag is too far away when worn, so there are high requirements for the force and action time of the tag wearer. Utility Model Content
