[0002] In traditional livestock breeding, ear tags are important tools for identifying individual livestock. The conventional ear tags commonly used at present mostly adopt a puncture structure. When installing this structure, a special tool is needed to penetrate the ear of a sheep, and the large incision is prone to infection, which can easily cause a large stress reaction in the sheep and also interfere with the normal growth and development process of the sheep.

[0003] In addition, the conventional ear tag is inconvenient to disassemble. When livestock are transferred, sold or need to be replaced, or when special treatment is required for the sheep, the disassembly process is often difficult due to the structural design problem. The breeder not only wastes time and effort, but also has a high probability of causing secondary damage to the ear of the sheep, further increasing the pain and breeding risk of the livestock, and also increasing the breeding cost, which is not conducive to the development of modern and intelligent breeding. In view of this, the utility model is proposed. SUMMARY

[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model, the following embodiments are used to illustrate the utility model, but not to limit the scope of the utility model.

[0020] Embodiment 1

[0021] Referring to Figures 1-3 An electronic ear tag for livestock includes an electronic ear tag body 1, further includes: an ear tag nail 102, installed on the electronic ear tag body 1; a first magnetic block 103, fixedly connected to the end of the ear tag nail 102; a magnetic suction cap 2, a limiting hole is formed in the magnetic suction cap 2 and cooperates with the ear tag nail 102; a second magnetic block 201 cooperates with the first magnetic block 103 and is fixedly connected in the limiting hole.

[0022] In the actual application scene, taking a large-scale sheep farm as an example, when the lambs are born, the breeders first select the appropriate ear tag according to the breed and purpose of the sheep, and when installing the ear tag, the breeder first inserts the ear tag nail 102 on the electronic ear tag body 1 through the micro-injury hole prepared in advance in the sheep's ear, then inserts the ear tag nail 102 into the limiting hole on the magnetic suction cap 2, and then gently presses with both hands, so that the first magnetic block 103 at the end of the ear tag nail 102 and the second magnetic block 201 fixedly connected in the limiting hole are close to each other, and are attracted together by magnetic force, thereby completing the installation of the ear tag. During installation, no complex tools are required, the operation is simple, and the stress on the sheep is small.

[0023] When the sheep needs to be transferred, sold or the ear tag needs to be replaced, the breeder uses a special demagnetization tool, approaches the ear tag magnetic suction part, weakens the magnetism of the magnetic part, overcomes the suction force between the magnetic parts, and can easily disassemble the ear tag. If there is no demagnetization tool, another strong magnet can be used according to the specific operation method to separate the ear tag nail 102 from the magnetic suction cap 2, thereby completing the disassembly.

[0024] The electronic ear tag abandons the traditional ear tag installation method which is complex and harmful, does not require complex tools, greatly simplifies the operation process, and at the same time, the design of the micro-injury hole significantly reduces the stress reaction on the sheep, reduces the risk of infection, is beneficial to the healthy growth of the sheep, reduces the problem of growth and development being hindered due to ear injury, etc. Due to the strong suction force generated by the magnetic parts, the ear tag can be firmly fixed on the sheep's ear during the sheep's daily activities such as running, eating and fighting, and is not easy to fall off. Through testing, the ear tag falling rate is less than 1% in the simulated scene of various violent activities of the sheep, which is much lower than that of the traditional ear tag.

[0025] In the disassembly link, the electronic ear tag can be disassembled by means of a demagnetization tool or by using a specific operation of a strong magnet. The operation is simple, and one person can complete the disassembly in a short time. The average disassembly time is shortened by about 80% compared with the traditional ear tag, the breeding management efficiency is improved, the unnecessary risks in the breeding process are reduced, and a more convenient and more humane solution is provided for modernized livestock breeding.

[0026] Embodiment 2:

[0027] Referring to Figures 1-3 The electronic ear tag for livestock is basically the same as that in Embodiment 1, and further includes that the electronic ear tag body 1 includes two half shells, the two half shells are tightly connected by buckles, and the space for accommodating electronic components is formed inside the two half shells,

[0028] In the production of the electronic ear tag body 1, first, the two half shells of the electronic ear tag body 1 are produced by using an injection molding process, recesses and circuit channels for installing electronic components are reserved inside the half shells, then, the functional components such as microprocessors, temperature sensors, heart rate sensors, acceleration sensors, Bluetooth modules, batteries, wireless charging receiving coils, GPS positioning modules, and rare earth RES ink screens are welded and assembled according to the designed circuit connection mode for data acquisition, processing, and display, the assembled circuit board is placed inside the half shells, and the two half shells are tightly connected by the buckle structure,

[0029] Before use, the electronic ear tag is first fully charged and worn on the ear of the livestock, the breeder installs a matching APP on the mobile phone, opens the APP, searches for and connects the electronic ear tag through Bluetooth, and sets a wireless charger in the breeding farm to regularly charge the electronic ear tag wirelessly.

[0030] After the electronic ear tag starts working, the sensors collect data in real time, the microprocessor processes and analyzes the data, and when the body temperature, heart rate, or activity of the livestock is abnormal, the microprocessor sends a warning message to the breeder's mobile phone APP through the Bluetooth module. The breeder can view the detailed data of individual livestock on the APP, and can also statistically analyze the data of the livestock in the whole breeding farm, so as to better manage the livestock breeding, for example, according to the activity data to judge the appetite and health condition of the livestock, according to the body temperature and heart rate data to timely find sick livestock and isolate and treat them, and in the aspect of identity recognition, each electronic ear tag has a unique code stored in the memory of the microprocessor, which can be read through the Bluetooth module to accurately identify individual livestock.

[0031] Among them, the power consumption of the rare earth RES ink screen is very low, and it can continue to display the picture even if the power supply is temporarily stopped, so the electronic ear tag has a display function, and the endurance time is comparable to that of the traditional electronic ear tag.

[0032] Embodiment 3

[0033] With reference to Figures 1-3 The electronic ear tag for livestock is basically the same as Embodiment 2, and further, the electronic ear tag body 1 and the magnetic cap 2 are both medical-grade plastic shells with high strength and good biocompatibility. From the aspect of strength, the high-strength material can withstand collisions and friction in the daily activities of livestock, ensuring that the ear tag is not easily damaged in complex breeding environments, prolonging the service life of the ear tag, and reducing the cost of manpower and material resources caused by frequent replacement of the ear tag. In terms of biocompatibility, when the medical-grade plastic shell comes into contact with the skin of the ear of livestock, it can effectively reduce the probability of adverse reactions such as allergies and inflammation, reduce the irritation and harm to the ear of livestock, and improve the comfort of livestock wearing. This material also meets the medical and health standards, reducing the risk of ear infections and providing protection for the health of livestock.

[0034] The first magnetic block 103 is designed in a conical shape. The pointed shape of the cone reduces the contact area with the skin of the ear of livestock. When the ear tag spike 102 is inserted through the ear, it can penetrate the skin with less force, reducing the difficulty of operation for the breeder, making the ear tag installation process more convenient and easy. The conical design causes a smaller incision when penetrating, causing less damage to the ear tissue, effectively reducing the pain and stress response of livestock. At the same time, the smaller incision also helps the wound heal faster, reducing the risk of infection and better protecting the health of livestock.

[0035] Embodiment 4

[0036] With reference to Figures 1-3 The electronic ear tag for livestock is basically the same as Embodiment 3, and further, a threaded hole is provided on the electronic ear tag body 1, and a threaded block 101 is threadedly connected in the threaded hole. The ear tag spike 102 is fixedly connected to the threaded block 101. When installing the ear tag, the breeder can easily install the ear tag spike 102 on the electronic ear tag body 1 by rotating the threaded block 101. When a component is damaged, it can also be conveniently replaced.

[0037] The ear tag spike 102 is a stainless steel spike. Stainless steel has high strength and hardness, and can effectively resist external collisions, friction, and the biting of livestock in the livestock breeding environment. Whether it is a scratch with other objects during daily activities of sheep or an attempt to bite the ear tag due to curiosity or discomfort, the ear tag spike 102 made of stainless steel material is not easily deformed or damaged, greatly extending the overall service life of the ear tag and reducing the cost and trouble of frequent replacement of the ear tag. The surface of the stainless steel material is smooth and not easy to breed bacteria and microorganisms, meeting the hygiene standards of livestock breeding. During contact with the skin of the ear of livestock, it can effectively reduce the risk of infection and reduce ear diseases caused by the ear tag, protecting the health of livestock. At the same time, stainless steel is non-toxic and harmless, and will not cause any adverse effects on the body of livestock.

[0038] The above merely describes preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application in any form. Although the present application has been disclosed with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present application.
