Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of intelligent collars, and particularly relates to an intelligent collar for detecting the rumination of cattle. Background Art
[0002] An intelligent cattle collar is a device equipped around the neck of a cow, usually equipped with various sensors and technologies for monitoring the behavior, health, and production data of the cow. These intelligent collars can collect information such as the activity level, body temperature, heart rate, and rumination frequency of the cow, and transmit the data in real time through a platform or application connected to the Internet, enabling farmers or veterinarians to remotely monitor the condition of the cow and make corresponding management decisions;
[0003] The rumination of cows refers to the process of chewing and swallowing food after eating, and then vomiting the food again in a quiet environment for careful chewing and digestion. This process helps cows better digest food and improve nutrient absorption rates.
[0004] Currently, the monitoring methods for cow rumination are basically achieved through methods such as observation, oral thermometers, and motion trackers. Usually, the monitoring accuracy is not high, and manual operation is required, making it impossible to efficiently and accurately detect cow rumination in real time, greatly reducing the monitoring of the cow's condition and being unfavorable for judging the digestion of food in the cow's stomach. If the cow has problems such as indigestion or stomach diseases, they cannot be detected in time. Content of the Utility Model
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an intelligent collar for detecting the rumination of cattle, which can monitor the rumination behavior of cattle in real time through a fluctuation sensor, be used to accurately judge the digestion of food in the cow's stomach, and reduce the probability of diseases.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is specifically as follows:
[0007] An intelligent collar for detecting the rumination of cattle includes two restraint straps. One end of each of the two restraint straps is fixedly connected with a male-female buckle, and the male-female buckles on both sides match each other. The other ends of the restraint straps are fixedly connected with elastic bands, and the other ends of the elastic bands are fixedly connected with metal plates. A monitoring box is fixedly connected between the two metal plates. A control component is arranged in the inner cavity of the monitoring box, and a fly-repellent cloth bag is assembled on the side wall of the elastic band.
[0008] The control component includes a circuit board assembled in the monitoring box. The circuit board is equipped with a controller, a battery pack, a fluctuation sensor, and two connectors. The two connectors are respectively connected to a charging head and a data head.
[0009] The side wall of the fly-repellent cloth bag is provided with a zipper.
[0010] The elastic band and the side wall of the fly - repellent cloth bag are respectively fixedly connected with magic tapes, and the two magic tapes match each other.
[0011] An adjustment buckle is assembled on the side wall of the restraint band.
[0012] The metal plate is made of shape - memory metal material.
[0013] The technical effects obtained by this utility model are as follows:
[0014] An intelligent collar for detecting the rumination of cattle, through the mutual cooperation among the restraint band, the elastic band, the metal plate and the control component, etc., can bend the metal plate into a suitable shape to adapt to the shape of the cattle's neck, so as to facilitate fitting to the esophagus. During rumination, the fluctuation sensor can be used for real - time monitoring, so as to facilitate subsequent judgment of the digestion of food in the cattle's stomach and the disease situation, and reduce the probability of cattle diseases.

[0020] In order to make the purpose and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following specifically describes this utility model with reference to the embodiments. It should be understood that the following text only describes one or several specific implementation manners of this utility model, and does not strictly limit the specific scope of protection requested by this utility model.
[0021] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, an intelligent collar for detecting the rumination of cattle includes two restraint bands 1. One end of each of the two restraint bands 1 is fixedly connected with a male - female buckle 2 respectively, and the two male - female buckles 2 on both sides match each other. The other ends of the restraint bands 1 are fixedly connected with elastic bands 3 respectively, the other ends of the elastic bands 3 are fixedly connected with metal plates 4 respectively, a monitoring box 5 is fixedly connected between the two metal plates 4, a control component is arranged in the inner cavity of the monitoring box 5, and a fly - repellent cloth bag 11 is assembled on the side wall of the elastic band 3.
[0022] The control component includes a circuit board 6 assembled inside the monitoring box 5. On the circuit board 6, a controller 7, a battery pack 8, a fluctuation sensor 9, and two connectors 10 are assembled. The two connectors 10 are respectively connected to the charging head and the data head.
[0023] Among them, the fluctuation sensor 9 is a device capable of detecting and measuring fluctuations. The fluctuation sensor 9 can sense different forms of fluctuations, such as sound waves, light waves, electromagnetic waves, etc., and then convert these fluctuations into electrical signals or digital signals for processing and analysis. Through the fluctuation sensor 9, the fluctuation information in the environment can be monitored and analyzed, so as to achieve real-time monitoring, early warning, and analysis. Common fluctuation sensors 9 include acoustic sensors, photoelectric sensors, acceleration sensors, etc.
[0024] In addition, some existing control components also include other modules such as a positioning module, a transmission module, a power supply module, etc. The difference between the control component in this solution and the prior art is that the fluctuation sensor 9 is used as a monitoring element in the control component, which can accurately monitor and judge the cow's rumination process. Therefore, other functions are not elaborated in detail in this solution.
[0025] As Figure 2 shown, a zipper 12 is provided on the side wall of the fly-repellent cloth bag 11. By setting the zipper 12, it is convenient to evenly place the fly-repellent drug in the fly-repellent cloth bag 11, and in the form of the zipper 12, it has the characteristics of simple drug replacement and good sealing.
[0026] As Figure 2 shown, the elastic band 3 and the side wall of the fly-repellent cloth bag 11 are respectively fixedly connected with magic tapes 13, and the two magic tapes 13 match each other.
[0027] Specifically, magic tapes 13 can be provided on both sides of the elastic band 3. During the use of the fly-repellent cloth bag 11, it can be selected to use one side or both sides simultaneously according to needs. In addition, the use of the magic tape 13 can facilitate the removal of the fly-repellent cloth bag 11 for filling or emptying the drug.
[0028] As Figure 1 shown, an adjustment buckle 14 is assembled on the side wall of the restraint band 1. After wearing the monitoring box 5 on the cow's neck and fixing it with the mother-child buckle 2, then adjust the bending position of the metal plate 4, and then tighten the elastic band 3 through the adjustment buckle 14 to drive the metal plate 4 to fit the cow's neck position, so that the monitoring position of the fluctuation sensor 9 corresponds to the cow's esophagus position, and the cow's rumination state can be accurately monitored.
[0029] The metal plate 4 is made of memory metal material. The memory metal material is a material with a special shape memory function. Common memory metals include copper-aluminum alloy; it can return to its original preset shape after experiencing shape changes through heating or external stimuli; applying it to this solution can be adjusted according to cows of different body sizes.
[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, wear the monitoring box 5 on the neck of the cow through the restraint belt 1. Then, adjust the bending position of the metal plate 4 according to the shape of the cow's neck, so that the metal plate 4 fits on the esophageal position of the cow's neck, and tighten it through the adjustment buckle 14 and the elastic band 3. Then, fill the fly-driving drug in the fly-driving cloth bag 11, and then stick it on the outer surface of the elastic band 3 by using the magic tape 13 to drive away the flies near the cow and prevent the flies from biting and sucking the cow. When the cow is ruminating, the food in the esophagus surges, and the change at the cow's neck can be monitored in real time by using the fluctuation sensor 9. When the cow is ruminating, this signal can be converted and transmitted to achieve efficient and accurate monitoring of the cow's rumination.
[0031] The above is only the preferred implementation mode of this utility model. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art in this technical field, without departing from the principle of this utility model, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of this utility model. The structures, devices and operation methods not specifically described and explained in this utility model are implemented according to the conventional means in this field without special explanation and limitation.
