TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to animal wearing equipment, specifically a wearable device. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the animal temperature detection aspect, the traditional temperature detection point is usually the ear of the animal, through the way of fixing the temperature measuring device in the ear of the animal by penetrating the ear leaf, to prevent the temperature measuring device from falling. But this way has obvious problems: due to the particularity of the external ear structure and the simple penetration type fixing way of the ear tag, the ear temperature data obtained by measurement is not accurate as the animal's body temperature data, and the data deviation is large. This deviation not only affects the accurate judgment of the animal's health condition, but also may bring unnecessary loss to the livestock production.
[0003] In order to solve this problem, the existing technology finds through animal histology research that the neck of the animal has more capillary vessels, which is the temperature sensitive area of the animal. Therefore, by measuring the neck temperature data of the animal as the body temperature data of the animal, the real body temperature of the animal can be more accurately reflected in theory. However, although this discovery provides a new idea for animal temperature detection, most of the wearable devices on the market still cannot realize the long-term fixation of the temperature measuring device on the body surface of the animal, especially the neck. Because the animal will shake when moving, or collide with obstacles, these wearable devices often fall off in a short time, so as to continuously and accurately monitor the body temperature data of the animal. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT
[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides a wearable device, which is worn on the measured part of the animal body, and the measured part is the temperature sensitive area of the animal (preferably the neck of the animal). The shell with the functional block is worn on the measured part by the way of puncture needle, which is firm and not easy to fall off, and can better monitor the physical parameters (such as body temperature) of the animal (such as pig) through the functional block (such as temperature measuring block).
[0005] Specifically, a wearable device is worn on the measured part of the animal body, which comprises,

[0011] Optionally, the driving member is a circular ring, and the bottom of the circular ring is provided with a gear portion engaged with the driven member.
[0012] The driving member has a pushing portion extending out of the shell, and an operator drives the driving member to rotate by pushing the pushing portion, the rotation of the driving member drives the driven member to rotate, and the driven member drives the puncture needle to pierce or withdraw from the skin layer of the animal (during the puncture process, the needle stays in the skin layer and rotates and punctures, and will not injure the blood vessels in the neck, and the puncture needle can be a thin steel needle).
[0013] Optionally, the puncture needle comprises an arc-shaped piercing portion and a corner connecting portion.
[0014] When the arc-shaped piercing portion pierces the skin layer, the end portion first pierces the skin layer and continuously pierces in an arc shape, and then pierces out of the skin layer into the shell, and the piercing portion stays in the skin layer.
[0015] The corner connecting portion is embedded or inserted into the driven member, and the movement transmission can be realized by the corner.
[0016] Optionally, the bottom of the shell is provided with a groove or a hole facilitating the piercing or withdrawal of the puncture needle.
[0017] Optionally, the shell is provided with four puncture assemblies arranged uniformly in the circumferential direction.

This design not only improves the efficiency and effect of puncture, but also effectively enhances the stability and reliability of the functional block after wearing, reduces the risk of falling off or displacement caused by animal activity.
[0022] Advantage one: convenient operability: the driving part of the utility model is provided with a dialing part outside the shell, which greatly simplifies the operation steps of the user.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0039] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar notations represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.
[0040] In this document, relational terms such as first and second and the like can be used solely to distinguish one entity or action from another entity or action without necessarily requiring or implying any actual such relationship or order between such entities or actions. Moreover, the terms "comprises", "comprising", or any other variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but can include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
[0041] As mentioned in the background, traditionally, animal temperature monitoring involves inserting a thermometer through the earlobe to prevent it from falling. However, this approach presents significant challenges: due to the unique structure of the external ear and the simple, penetrating attachment method, the ear temperature readings obtained as body temperature data are inaccurate and subject to significant data deviation. This deviation not only impacts accurate assessments of the animal's health but can also lead to unnecessary losses in livestock production.
[0042] To solve this problem, existing technologies have found through animal histological studies that animals have more capillaries in their necks, which is a temperature-sensitive area of the animals. Therefore, by measuring the temperature data of the animal's neck as the animal's body temperature data, it is theoretically possible to more accurately reflect the animal's true body temperature. However, although this discovery provides a new idea for animal body temperature detection, most wearable devices currently on the market still find it difficult to achieve long-term fixation of the temperature measuring device on the animal's body surface, especially the neck. Because animals shake when they move, or collide with obstacles, these wearable devices often fall off in a short period of time, making it impossible to continuously and accurately monitor the animal's body temperature data.
[0043] Based on the above shortcomings, this embodiment provides a wearable device that is worn on the neck of a pig. Figures 1-4 As shown, the wearable device includes,
[0044] Functional block 200 is attached to the pig's neck and is used to obtain the pig's body temperature. Specifically, the functional block is a temperature measuring block, which can be changed according to different parameters of the monitored animal, such as measuring the animal's blood pressure;
[0045] The housing 100 has a cavity at the bottom for accommodating the functional blocks. The housing is equipped with several puncture assemblies. A cover plate 300 is located on the top of the housing. The bottom of the housing also has a slot or hole for facilitating the insertion and withdrawal of the puncture needle. The puncture assembly includes a puncture needle 500, which is used to secure the housing, which houses the functional blocks, to the animal's body. The puncture needle includes an arcuate insertion portion that, during rotation, penetrates from one point and exits at another. A portion of the arcuate insertion portion resides in the cortical layer.
[0046] The above technical features allow the shell equipped with the functional block to be worn on the part to be measured by means of a puncture needle. It is firm to wear and not easy to fall off, and can better monitor the body temperature of the pig through the functional temperature measuring block.
[0047] In order to better penetrate the cortex of the pig, Figures 5-8 and Figure 13As shown, in an embodiment, the shell 100 is provided with four puncture assemblies arranged circumferentially uniformly, which further include a puncture needle mounting seat 601 and a driven member 600, and the puncture needle 500 is a rotatable arc-shaped puncture needle;
[0048] The puncture needle 500 is rotatably mounted on the puncture needle mounting seat 601 and connected with the driven member 600.
[0049] The puncture needle mounting seat is fixedly connected with the shell by means of a pin or a screw, and the driving member is rotatably mounted on the puncture needle mounting seat.
[0050] A driving member 400 is mounted on the shell 100 and is drivingly connected with the driven member 600 by means of gear engagement transmission.
[0051] The driving member 400 is a circular ring, and the bottom of the circular ring is provided with a gear portion 402 engaged with the driven member.
[0052] The driving member 400 has a pushing portion 401 extending out of the shell.
[0053] In use, the operator drives the driving member to rotate by pushing the pushing portion, and the driving member drives the driven member to rotate by means of gear engagement transmission, and the driven member drives the puncture needle to pierce into or exit from the skin layer 700 of the animal in a vertical plane (as Figure 13 shown).
[0054] Compared with the animal wearable device of the prior application of the applicant, the needle tip of the puncture needle of the present application can accurately pierce into the skin layer of the animal in a vertical plane and exit from another point, and the arc-shaped region of the puncture needle stays in the skin layer. This design not only improves the efficiency and effect of puncture, but also effectively enhances the stability and reliability of the functional block after wearing, and reduces the risk of falling off or displacement due to animal activity.
[0055] Meanwhile, the improved driving member is provided with a pushing portion located outside the shell, which greatly simplifies the operation steps of the user. The user only needs to simply push the pushing portion to realize the rotation of the driving member, and then drive the puncture needle to rotate in a vertical plane by means of the engagement transmission between the driving member and the driven member. This operation mode is simple and can improve the convenience and efficiency of the wearing and adjusting process.
[0056] In order to realize the connection and transmission between the puncture needle and the driven member, in an embodiment, as Figures 9-14 shown, the puncture needle 500 includes an arc-shaped piercing portion 502 and a corner connecting portion 501,
[0057] The arc-shaped piercing part first pierces the skin layer at the end and continuously pierces in an arc shape, and then pierces out of the skin layer into the shell, and a part of the piercing part stays in the skin layer;
[0058] The corner connecting part is embedded or inserted into the driven part, and the corner can realize the transmission of movement.
[0059] The above technical features can realize that the rotation of the driven part drives the rotation of the puncture needle, and after the corner connecting part is connected with the driven part in the embedded or inserted mode, the transmission of force is more stable, the thrust transmitted from the driven part to the puncture needle is more stable, and the puncture needle is more easily rotated to pierce into and out of the skin layer.
[0060] The above description of disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application will not be limited to these embodiments shown herein, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
