Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of livestock temperature measurement, in particular to a built-in tympanic membrane temperature measuring device. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of science and technology, smart animal husbandry is gradually becoming a key trend in the modern animal husbandry industry. In the world of smart animal husbandry, ear tag technology plays an important role, bringing many benefits and conveniences to farmers.

[0003] Traditional livestock temperature detection mostly uses the method of implanting an intelligent temperature measuring ear tag in the livestock's ear to measure the livestock's temperature. Specifically, the intelligent temperature measuring ear tag includes an ear stud and a mother tag. The temperature sensor is set on the connecting post of the ear stud. The ear stud is inserted into the livestock's ear using ear stud pliers to implant the temperature sensor in the livestock's ear. However, the ear is located around the connecting post, which is prone to ear diseases, resulting in inaccurate temperature measurement and the inability to detect the livestock's temperature stably over the long term.

[0004] Because the temperature of the eardrum is stable and can directly reflect the body's internal temperature, livestock temperature monitoring currently relies on measuring the eardrum temperature instead of implanting smart temperature-measuring ear tags to determine temperature fluctuations. However, current eardrum temperature measurement devices are limited in design and structure and can only be used for a single type of livestock. This means that different temperature measurement devices must be used for different livestock, increasing production costs.

[0005] Therefore, the above problems need to be solved urgently. Utility Model Content

[0044] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The utility model discloses an internal ear drum temperature measuring device, including fixed part 1, bendable extension 2 and temperature measuring part 3, fixed part 1 is fixed in livestock ear; extension 2 is connected with fixed part 1, and the bendable extension 2 can be bent and shaped according to the shape of livestock ear canal;Temperature measuring part 3 is arranged at one end of the extension 2 away from the fixed part 1, so that the tympanic membrane temperature can be detected when the extension 2 is inserted into the livestock ear canal.

[0045] It can be understood that the extension 2 is bent and shaped according to different livestock ear canal shapes to adapt to the livestock ear canal of different livestock, thereby improving the applicability of the ear drum temperature measuring device.The temperature measuring part 3 can detect the tympanic membrane temperature when the extension 2 is inserted into the livestock ear canal, and under the action of the fixed part 1, the temperature measuring device can be prevented from falling off from the livestock ear canal, so as to facilitate real-time measurement of the temperature of the livestock.

[0046] Furthermore, the extension portion 2 includes a bending part 21 and a retaining part 22. The bending part 21 is provided with a plurality of bending grooves 211 spaced apart along its length direction, so that the bending part 21 has multiple bending positions and can be placed in a preset posture that imitates the ear canal of livestock; the retaining part 22 is arranged at the bending position to keep the extension portion 2 in the preset posture.

[0047] It can be understood that the different bending positions of the bending member 21 are adjusted according to the shape of the livestock ear canal of different livestock, so that the bending member 21 can be in a preset posture that imitates the livestock ear canal, and under the action of the retaining member 22, the posture of the bending member 21 will not change to adapt to the livestock ear canals of different livestock, thereby improving the applicability of the tympanic membrane temperature measuring device.

[0048] For example, the present embodiment is explained using the cow's ear as an example. According to the size of the cow's ears of different ages and breeds, the bending member 21 is bent at different bending positions of the bending member 21. During the bending process, under the action of the retaining member 22, the bending member 21 can be prevented from resetting. Subsequently, one end of the extension portion 2 provided with the temperature measuring portion 3 is inserted into the livestock's ear canal to facilitate the measurement of the tympanic membrane temperature. After the insertion is completed, the fixing portion 1 is fixed on the livestock auricle of the cow's ear to prevent the tympanic membrane temperature measuring device from being separated from the cow's ear, thereby ensuring real-time monitoring of the tympanic membrane temperature.

[0049] Furthermore, the interior of the bent member 21 is provided with a mounting cavity 212 for mounting the temperature measuring unit 3, and the mounting cavity 212 has an opening facing the eardrum. The built-in eardrum temperature measuring device also includes a positioning assembly 4, which is disposed between the temperature measuring unit 3 and the mounting cavity 212. It is understood that the positioning assembly 4 can fix the temperature measuring unit 3 so that the temperature measuring unit 3 can face the eardrum through the opening to facilitate measurement of the eardrum temperature. This arrangement can prevent the position of the temperature measuring unit 3 in the cow's ear from shifting, thereby ensuring the accuracy of eardrum temperature detection.

[0050] Illustratively, the positioning assembly 4 includes a positioning groove defined within the mounting cavity 212 and a positioning block disposed on the outer wall of the temperature measuring portion 3, the positioning block being adapted to fit within the positioning groove. It is understood that when the temperature measuring portion 3 is placed within the mounting cavity 212, the positioning block can be adapted to engage with the positioning groove, thereby achieving positioning of the temperature measuring portion 3.

[0051] Of course, in some other feasible embodiments, the positioning component 4 may also be other existing positioning structures, which will not be described in detail here.

[0052] In this embodiment, the retaining member 22 is a metal wire, which is spirally disposed on the extension portion 2. It is understood that the provision of the metal wire can improve the structural rigidity of the extension portion 2, thereby preventing the extension portion 2 from bending without external forces, thereby ensuring that the extension portion 2 can maintain a preset posture without external forces. The metal wire is preferably a steel wire.

[0053] The depth of the ear canal varies among livestock of different ages and breeds. If the ear canal depth is greater than the length of the extension 2, the distance between the temperature measuring portion 3 and the eardrum may be too large, thereby affecting the accuracy of the temperature measuring portion 3 in detecting the eardrum temperature. Conversely, if the ear canal depth is less than the length of the extension 2, the eardrum may be damaged.

[0054] Based on the above, in this embodiment, the built-in tympanic membrane thermometer device further includes a telescopic portion 5, the ends of which are detachably attached to the extension portion 2 and the fixing portion 1, respectively. It will be appreciated that by adjusting the length of the telescopic portion 5, the overall length of the tympanic membrane thermometer device can be adjusted, thereby further improving the applicability of the tympanic membrane thermometer device.

[0055] Preferably, the telescopic portion 5 is a telescopic tube. Of course, in some other feasible embodiments, the telescopic portion 5 can also be other existing telescopic structures, which will not be described in detail here.

[0056] In this embodiment, the built-in tympanic membrane temperature measurement device further includes an earmuff 6, which is disposed outside the extension portion 2 and at the end of the extension portion 2 facing away from the fixed portion 1. It will be appreciated that the earmuff 6 prevents the extension portion 2 from rubbing against the livestock's ear canal during insertion, thereby improving the livestock's comfort. Furthermore, the earmuff 6 prevents foreign matter from entering the livestock's ear canal.

[0057] Furthermore, the earmuff 6 is detachably provided on the extension portion 2. It is understandable that different types of earmuffs 6 can be adjusted according to the ear canal diameters of different livestock, thereby further improving the adaptability of the tympanic membrane temperature measuring device.

[0058] Exemplarily, the earmuff 6 is provided on the extension part 2 by means of a snap connection, so as to prevent the extension part 2 from falling off during the insertion process.

[0059] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 4The built-in tympanic membrane temperature measuring device also includes an ear stud 7, which includes a fixing member 71, an ear stud body 72, and a connecting member 73. The fixing member 71 is arranged on the fixing portion 1; the cross-section of the ear stud body 72 is semicircular; one end of the connecting member 73 is connected to the ear stud body 72, and the other end penetrates the livestock's auricle and then locks with the fixing member 71. It can be understood that the connecting member 73 penetrates the livestock's auricle and then connects to the fixing member 71, so that the livestock's auricle can be clamped between the fixing member 71 and the ear stud body 72, thus completing the installation of the tympanic membrane temperature measuring device. The semicircular cross-section of the ear stud body 72 can better fit the livestock's auricle than the rectangular shape in the prior art, thereby reducing the risk of falling off due to collision or friction between livestock.

[0060] Preferably, a snap-fitting groove 74 is provided on the fixing member 71 , a snap-fitting block 75 is provided on one end of the connecting member 73 away from the earring body 72 , and the snap-fitting groove 74 and the snap-fitting block 75 are adapted to snap-fit.

[0061] In order to further prevent the ear studs 7 from falling off due to biting between livestock, in this embodiment, a coating with a stimulating taste, such as a nicotine coating, a capsaicin coating, a gingerol coating or an allicin coating, is coated on the ear studs 7.

[0062] In this embodiment, the built-in tympanic membrane temperature measurement device further includes a power supply and a communication unit. The power supply is disposed within the fixed portion 1 and is connected to the temperature measurement portion 3 via an electrical wire. The communication unit is disposed within the fixed portion 1 and is electrically connected to the temperature measurement portion 3. The communication unit is configured to upload measurement data to a backend management system or terminal device via the Internet of Things, a wireless communication network, or near-field communication. It will be appreciated that the power supply can provide power to the temperature measurement portion 3, thereby ensuring that the temperature measurement portion 3 remains in a constant operating state. The communication unit can upload the tympanic membrane temperature detected by the temperature measurement portion 3 to a backend management system or terminal device, thereby facilitating real-time temperature monitoring by personnel.
