Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry, specifically to a sheep tagging and identification device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, sheep identification tags are mostly ear tags. However, attaching ear tags causes significant stress to sheep and is prone to inflammation. In the prior art, utility model patent application number CN202120865684.7 discloses a sheep identification tag, including a first rope, a second rope, and a tag. The ends of the first and second ropes are fixed by an adjustable length structure. The front ends of the first and second ropes are connected by a first detachable structure, and the tag is fixed to the collar by a second detachable structure. Separating the front ends of the first and second ropes allows the sheep's neck to be positioned between them. A threaded connection between a lead screw and a threaded sleeve is then achieved. The operation is simple and suitable for widespread application in the field of animal husbandry.
[0003] However, when adjusting the length of the first and second ropes using the aforementioned sheep identification tag, it is time-consuming and laborious to disassemble the first and second tightening screws on the rectangular block, making the rope length adjustment very inconvenient and requiring improvement. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sheep marking and identification device that facilitates adjustment of the collar length, thereby addressing the deficiencies mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0006] A sheep marking and identification device includes a collar with an identification tag attached. One end of the collar is fixedly connected to a first connecting block, and the other end is adjustablely connected to a second connecting block. The first and second connecting blocks are detachably connected. The second connecting block has a horizontally penetrating mounting hole, in which a sleeve is movably installed. The end of the collar away from the first connecting block passes through the sleeve. The second connecting block has a mounting cavity communicating with the mounting hole. The sleeve within the mounting cavity has a coaxially arranged tapered portion. The outer wall of the tapered portion has a ball hole that radially communicates with the inner cavity of the sleeve. A small ball for pressing the collar is movably installed in the ball hole. One end of the mounting cavity has a tapered surface coaxially arranged with the sleeve, and the tapered surface is opposite to the outer wall of the tapered portion.
[0007] As a further improvement, when the sleeve moves toward the conical surface, the conical surface acts on the small ball and presses the small ball against the collar; the mounting cavity is provided with a first spring for pushing the sleeve toward the conical surface.
[0008] As a further improvement, the bottom of the second connecting block is provided with a horizontally extending insert, and the top of the first connecting block is provided with a slot that matches the insert, the slot penetrating one end of the first connecting block laterally; a locking pin is vertically slidably installed inside the first connecting block, the insert is provided with a pin groove for inserting one end of the locking pin, and a second spring is provided inside the first connecting block for pushing the locking pin into the pin groove.
[0009] As a further improvement, the first connecting block is provided with a vertically extending sliding cavity, the locking pin is slidably installed in the sliding cavity, a horizontally extending lever is fixedly installed on one side of the locking pin, and a strip hole for the lever to pass through is provided on one side of the sliding cavity.
[0010] As a further improvement, the first connecting block is provided with a vertical plate for abutting one end of the sleeve, the vertical plate abutting one end of the sleeve and restricting the sleeve from moving away from the conical surface.
[0011] As a further improvement, the upper end of the vertical plate is provided with an opening slot for the collar to pass through.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0013] 1. By attaching the identification tag to the sheep's neck with a collar, the sheep can be protected from ear tags, reducing irritation and inflammation.
[0014] 2. When the first connecting block and the second connecting block are separated, press the sleeve and push it away from the conical surface to make the ball detach from the conical surface. Then the connection position of the second connecting block on the collar can be adjusted to match sheep of different sizes, making it easier to adjust the collar length.
[0015] 3. By overcoming the elastic force of the second spring and pushing the lever downward, the upper end of the locking pin is disengaged from the pin groove. Then the insert can be pulled out of the slot and the first connecting block can be separated from the second connecting block, so that the collar can be removed from the sheep's neck, making the collar recovery more convenient.
[0016] 4. When the upper end of the locking pin is inserted into the pin groove, the vertical plate abuts against the right end of the sleeve, thereby preventing the sleeve from moving away from the conical surface to the right, which would cause the small ball to loosen its pressure on the collar, making the connection between the second connecting block and the collar more secure.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the sheep marking and identification device includes a collar 1 with an identification tag 2 connected to it. The identification tag is used to mark the sheep's information. The identification tag is hung on the sheep's neck through the collar 1, thus eliminating the need to tag the sheep's ears, reducing irritation to the sheep, and preventing inflammation.
[0024] One end of the collar 1 is fixedly connected to the first connecting block 3. The right side of the first connecting block 3 is provided with a fixing hole 4 for inserting the end of the collar 1. One end of the collar 1 is inserted into the fixing hole 4 and locked by the locking screw 25.
[0025] The other end of the collar 1 is adjustablely connected to the second connecting block 5, and the first connecting block 3 and the second connecting block 5 are detachably connected. In actual use, first adjust the connection position of the second connecting block 5 on the collar 1, thereby adjusting the length of the collar 1 located between the first connecting block 3 and the second connecting block 5, so as to match sheep of different sizes; then, wrap both ends of the collar 1 around the sheep's neck and connect the first connecting block 3 and the second connecting block 5, so that the collar 1 is placed around the sheep's neck; or when retrieving the collar 1, separate the first connecting block 3 and the second connecting block 5, thereby removing the collar 1 from the sheep's neck.
[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the second connecting block 5 has a horizontally penetrating mounting hole 6. A sleeve 7 is movably installed in the mounting hole 6, with both ends of the sleeve 7 extending outward from the mounting hole 6. The end of the collar 1 away from the first connecting block 3 passes through the sleeve 7 to the right. The second connecting block 5 has a mounting cavity 8, which is circular and coaxial with the sleeve 7. The mounting cavity 8 communicates with the mounting hole 6. The outer wall of the sleeve 7 located in the mounting cavity 8 has a coaxially arranged tapered part 9. The tapered part 9 is thinner at the left end and thicker at the right end, which can prevent the sleeve 7 from dislodging from the mounting hole 6 when it moves left and right. The outer wall of the tapered part 9 has a ball hole 10 that communicates with the inner cavity of the sleeve 7 radially. A small ball 11 for pressing the collar 1 is movably installed in the ball hole 10. The left end of the mounting cavity 8 has a tapered surface 12 that is coaxial with the sleeve 7. The tapered surface 12 is opposite to the outer wall of the tapered part 9, and the taper of the outer wall of the tapered part 9 is smaller than the taper of the tapered surface 12.
[0027] Specifically, when the sleeve 7 moves to the left and closer to the conical surface 12, the conical surface 12 acts on the ball 11 and pushes the ball to move radially inward along the sleeve 7, thereby pressing the ball 11 against the collar 1 and locking the collar 1 onto the second connecting block 5; conversely, when the sleeve 7 moves to the right and away from the conical surface 12, after the ball 11 disengages from the conical surface 12, the locking of the collar 1 is released, thereby adjusting the connection position of the second connecting block 5 on the collar 1.
[0028] In addition, the mounting cavity 8 is equipped with a first spring 13 for pushing the sleeve 7 to move to the left and closer to the conical surface 12. The first spring 13 is sleeved on the sleeve 7, with its left end abutting the right end of the conical part 9 and its right end abutting the right side wall of the mounting cavity 8. When no external force is applied, the elastic force of the first spring 13 pushes the sleeve 7 to move to the left and closer to the conical surface 12, causing the small ball 11 to press against the collar 1. Alternatively, when it is necessary to adjust the connection position of the second connecting block 5 on the collar 1, the left end of the sleeve 7 is pressed and pushed to the right and away from the conical surface 12, causing the small ball 11 to disengage from the conical surface 12. Then, the connection position of the second connecting block 5 on the collar 1 can be adjusted. After the adjustment is completed, the sleeve 7 is released, and the first spring 13 automatically pushes the sleeve 7 to the left, causing the small ball 11 to press against the collar 1 again, making the adjustment of the length of the collar 1 more convenient.
[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the second connecting block 5 is provided with a horizontally extending insert 14, which is cylindrical in shape. The top of the first connecting block 3 is provided with a slot 15 that matches the insert 14. The slot 15 penetrates the left end of the first connecting block 3 horizontally. The first connecting block 3 is provided with a vertically extending sliding cavity 16. The upper end of the sliding cavity 16 is connected to the slot 15, and the lower end is sealed by a sealing screw 17. A locking pin 18 is slidably installed in the sliding cavity 16. The bottom of the insert 14 is provided with a pin groove 19 for the upper end of the locking pin 18 to be inserted. After the insert 14 at the bottom of the second connecting block 5 is inserted into the slot 15, the locking pin 18 is moved upward so that its upper end is inserted into the pin groove 19, thereby preventing the insert 14 from disengaging from the slot 15 and making the first connecting block 3 and the second connecting block 5 inseparable.
[0030] In addition, a second spring 20 is provided between the lower end of the locking pin 18 and the upper end of the sealing screw 17 for pushing the locking pin 18 into the pin groove 19. The second spring 20 gives the locking pin 18 an upward thrust to prevent the locking pin 18 from accidentally dislodging from the pin groove 19.
[0031] A laterally extending lever 21 is screwed onto one side of the locking pin 18. A strip hole 22 is provided on one side of the sliding cavity 16 for the lever 21 to pass through. The lever 21 is pushed down to overcome the elastic force of the second spring 20, thereby disengaging the upper end of the locking pin 18 from the pin groove 19. Then the insert block 14 can be pulled out of the slot 15 and the first connecting block 3 can be separated from the second connecting block 5 so that the collar 1 can be removed from the neck of the sheep.
[0032] The top right end of the first connecting block 3 is provided with an upwardly extending vertical plate 23. The upper end of the vertical plate 23 is provided with an opening groove 24 for the collar 1 to pass through. When the upper end of the locking pin 18 is inserted into the pin groove 19, the vertical plate 23 abuts against the right end of the sleeve 7, thereby preventing the sleeve 7 from moving away from the conical surface 12 to the right, causing the small ball 11 to loosen its pressure on the collar 1.
[0033] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
