Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of intelligent collars, and particularly relates to an intelligent collar for counting the steps of cattle. Background Art

[0002] The large-scale breeding of beef cattle is the centralized utilization of land resources. Compared with the traditional free-range breeding method, it increases the management pressure on breeders. Putting an intelligent collar on each cattle has become the only choice for breeders. Each intelligent collar is internally equipped with a development board, a wireless communication module, and a step-counting sensor, which sends the exercise amount of cattle to the server in real time.

[0003] These intelligent collars are put on the necks of cattle by using two elastic bands, which drive the step-counting sensor to stick to the body surface of the cattle and can move with the cattle. An insertion buckle and a plug are installed between the two elastic bands, and the intelligent collar can be removed by separating the insertion buckle and the plug.

[0004] After the cattle wear the intelligent collar, the intelligent collar is tightened by the elastic band. The intelligent collar counts steps while moving with the cattle. When the cattle feel uncomfortable in hot weather, especially when the cattle hair is wet and slippery after sweating on the neck, the intelligent collar cannot hold firmly, causing the intelligent collar to swing left and right with the cattle's head shaking. The intelligent collar records the redundant data in these swinging processes, which is difficult to eliminate. Therefore, we propose an intelligent collar for counting the steps of cattle. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an intelligent collar for counting the steps of cattle, which can lock the intelligent collar with the strands of cattle neck hair, so that even if the cattle shake their heads, it will not cause violent swinging of the intelligent collar, in order to reduce the redundant data generated by the swinging of the intelligent collar.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is specifically as follows:

[0007] A smart collar for counting cattle steps, comprising a shell, elastic bands are fixed at both ends of the shell, a buckle is fixed at one end of the elastic band away from the shell, a plug is fixed at the other end of the elastic band away from the shell, the end of the plug away from the elastic band is plugged into the buckle, two groups of rubber bands are fixed on both sides of the plug, the two groups of rubber bands are distributed along a straight line, a steel ring is fixed at one end of the rubber band away from the plug, and the steel ring is in a square frame shape. When installing, the two elastic bands are respectively passed around the neck of the cattle from both sides, and the plug is used to tighten the two elastic bands. Tighten the buckle to lock it, so that the two elastic bands are looped around the cow's neck and tightened, driving the back of the shell to stick to the cow's neck. At this time, twist the cow's neck hair into strands, cross them through the two sets of steel rings and tie them together like shoelaces, and then tighten each steel ring with a rubber band to make the steel rings and the strands of cow's neck hair stick to the surface of the plug. The smart collar can be locked with the strands of cow's neck hair. Even if the cow shakes its head, it will not cause the smart collar to swing violently, so as to reduce the redundant data generated by the swing of the smart collar, facilitate the pedometer data to be close to the real value, and greatly improve the accuracy of the smart collar in counting cattle steps.

[0008] A nylon bushing is fixed on the inner side of the steel ring, and anti-slip patterns are provided on the surface of the nylon bushing. The nylon bushing is utilized to increase the friction area between the steel ring and the strands of cow neck hair, thereby improving the stability of locking the strands of cow neck hair and further reducing the occurrence of the strands of cow neck hair escaping.

[0009] Silicone edging is also fixed on both sides of the plug, and the two silicone edgings cover one end of the adjacent rubber bands to reinforce the connection. The silicone edging serves as an outer shell to protect the rubber bands and reduce the friction on the rubber bands.

[0010] The buckle is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes, through which air circulates, so that the air can take away the heat at the connection between the buckle and the plug, thereby facilitating heat dissipation and sweat discharge.

[0011] Wear-resistant sheets are fixed to two corners of the plug away from the elastic band. The two wear-resistant sheets are distributed in an eight-shaped shape. During the plugging and unplugging process, the wear-resistant sheets are worn first on the inner wall of the buckle to prevent direct wear on the plug, thereby extending the service life of the plug.

[0012] A silicone pad is bonded to the back of the shell. The silicone pad can be made of food-grade silicone material and has no toxic side effects on cattle. After the shell is tightened by two elastic bands, the silicone pad is driven to stick to the cow's neck, and the deformation of the silicone pad is used for buffering to reduce the discomfort of the cow's neck.

[0013] The technical effects achieved by this utility model are:

[0014] An intelligent collar for counting the steps of cattle. When installing, pass two elastic bands around the neck of the cattle from both sides respectively, and insert the plug into the buckle to lock it, so that the two elastic bands form a ring around the neck of the cattle and are tightened, driving the back of the shell to closely adhere to the neck of the cattle. At this time, twist the cattle neck hair into strands, cross through two groups of steel rings and tie them together like shoelaces, and then tighten each steel ring through a rubber band, so that the steel rings and the twisted cattle neck hair stick to the surface of the plug, which can lock the intelligent collar and the twisted cattle neck hair. Even if the cattle shakes its head, it will not cause violent swinging of the intelligent collar, so as to reduce the redundant data generated by the swinging of the intelligent collar, facilitate the step counting data to be close to the true value, and greatly improve the accuracy of the intelligent collar for counting the steps of cattle.

[0022] In order to make the purpose and advantages of the present utility model more clear and understandable, the present utility model will be specifically described below in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is only used to describe one or several specific implementation manners of the present utility model, and does not strictly limit the scope of protection of the specific claims of the present utility model.

[0023] As Figures 1-5As shown in the figure, an intelligent collar for counting the steps of cattle includes a housing 1. Referring to a Chinese utility model patent with the publication number CN210328927U, a pet intelligent collar, a battery module, a control main board, a communication module, a step counting sensor, a positioning module, a data sensor, and an angular velocity sensor are also installed inside the housing 1. This technical solution is prior art and not shown in the figure. Elastic bands 2 are fixed at both ends of the housing 1. A buckle 3 is fixed at one end of one elastic band 2 away from the housing 1, and a plug 4 is fixed at one end of the other elastic band 2 away from the housing 1. The end of the plug 4 away from the elastic band 2 is inserted into the inside of the buckle 3. Two groups of rubber bands 6 are respectively fixed on both sides of the plug 4. A number of rubber bands 6 in the two groups are all distributed at intervals along a straight line. The ends of the rubber bands 6 away from the plug 4 are all fixed with steel rings 5. The steel rings 5 are all in a square shape. During installation, the two elastic bands 2 are respectively wound around the neck of the cattle from both sides, and the plug 4 is inserted into the buckle 3 tightly to lock, so that the two elastic bands 2 are in a ring shape around the neck of the cattle and tightened, driving the back of the housing 1 to closely adhere to the neck of the cattle. At this time, the cattle neck hair is twisted into strands, crossed through the two groups of steel rings 5 and tied together in a shoelace shape, and then each steel ring 5 is tightened through the rubber bands 6, so that the steel rings 5 and the twisted cattle neck hair adhere to the surface of the plug 4, which can lock the intelligent collar with the twisted cattle neck hair. Even if the cattle shakes its head, it will not cause violent swinging of the intelligent collar, so as to reduce the redundant data generated by the swinging of the intelligent collar, facilitate the step counting data to be close to the true value, and greatly improve the accuracy of the intelligent collar for counting the steps of cattle.

[0024] After the twisted cattle neck hair passes through the steel rings 5, it can be tied together in pairs or tightened with a scalp elastic band to prevent the rubber bands 6 from pulling the steel rings 5 and driving these twisted cattle neck hair to break free. The materials are convenient to obtain, the cost is low, and it is easy to implement.

[0025] As Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, nylon bushings 7 are fixed on the inner sides of the steel rings 5, and anti-slip patterns are provided on the surfaces of the nylon bushings 7. The nylon bushings 7 are used to increase the friction area between the steel rings 5 and the twisted cattle neck hair, improve the stability of locking the twisted cattle neck hair, and further reduce the occurrence of the twisted cattle neck hair breaking free.

[0026] As Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, silicone edge wrappings 8 are also fixed on both sides of the plug 4. The two silicone edge wrappings 8 cover one end of the adjacent rubber bands 6 to reinforce the connection, and the silicone edge wrappings 8 serve as an outer shell to protect the rubber bands 6 and reduce the friction on the rubber bands 6.

[0027] As Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, a number of ventilation holes 9 are provided on the buckle 3, and air circulates through the ventilation holes 9 to facilitate the air to take away the heat at the connection between the buckle 3 and the plug 4, and facilitate heat dissipation and sweating.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, wear-resistant sheets 10 are fixed at two corners of the plug 4 away from the elastic band 2. Both wear-resistant sheets 10 can be made of ceramic material. The two wear-resistant sheets 10 are distributed in an eight-shaped shape. During the process of plugging and unplugging the plug 4, the inner wall of the buckle 3 will first wear the wear-resistant sheet 10 to prevent direct wear of the plug 4, thereby extending the service life of the plug 4.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a silicone pad 11 is bonded to the back of the shell 1. The silicone pad 11 can be made of food-grade silicone material, which has no toxic side effects on cattle. After the shell 1 is tightened by two elastic bands 2, the silicone pad 11 is driven to stick to the neck of the cattle, and the deformation of the silicone pad 11 is used for buffering to reduce the discomfort of the cattle's neck.

[0030] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: during installation, two elastic bands 2 are respectively passed around the cow's neck from both sides, and the plug 4 is used to plug the buckle 3 to lock it, so that the two elastic bands 2 are looped around the cow's neck and tightened, driving the back of the shell 1 to be close to the cow's neck. At this time, the cow's neck hair is twisted into strands, crossed through two groups of steel rings 5 ​​and tied together like shoelaces, and then each steel ring 5 is tightened by a rubber band 6, so that the steel ring 5 and the strands of cow's neck hair are attached to the surface of the plug 4, which can lock the smart collar with the strands of cow's neck hair. Even if the cow shakes its head, it will not cause the smart collar to swing violently, so as to reduce the redundant data generated by the swing of the smart collar, facilitate the pedometer data to be close to the real value, and greatly improve the accuracy of the smart collar in counting the steps of the cow.

[0031] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that, for ordinary technicians in the field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention. The structures, devices and operating methods not specifically described and explained in the present invention shall be implemented according to the conventional means in the field unless otherwise specified and limited.
