Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model is a wildlife monitoring tag ring, belonging to the field of wildlife monitoring technology. Background Technology
[0002] Tagging rings used in wildlife monitoring are an important scientific research tool, primarily used for individual identification and group dynamics studies of birds, reptiles, and other small wild animals. The locator determines the precise location of the ground receiver by receiving signals from satellites, hence its common use in wildlife monitoring. The locator has two steel bands connected by screws and nuts at their moving ends. When the locator's power is depleted or it is damaged, it needs to be removed from the wildlife after anesthetization. However, the screws and nuts can become difficult to separate due to corrosion under prolonged moisture, making it challenging to remove the tag ring formed by the two steel bands and the locator from the wildlife. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a wildlife monitoring tag ring to solve the problems mentioned in the background technology. This utility model reduces the difficulty of disassembling rusted screws and nuts.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a wildlife monitoring and marking ring, comprising a locator, a semi-circular first steel strip mounted on one side of the locator, and a semi-circular second steel strip mounted on the side of the locator opposite to the first steel strip. A first connecting ear is mounted on the end of the first steel strip away from the locator, and a second connecting ear is mounted on the end of the second steel strip away from the locator. A support ear is provided on the side of the first connecting ear opposite to the second connecting ear, parallel to the first connecting ear. A gap exists between the support ear and the first connecting ear, and the support ear is connected to the first steel strip. For fixed connection, the first connecting ear has two first through holes on the side facing the second connecting ear, the second connecting ear has two second through holes aligned with the first through holes on the side facing the first connecting ear, and the support ear has two round holes aligned with the first through holes on the side facing the first connecting ear. An internal hexagon screw is inserted into the round hole, and one end of the internal hexagon screw passes through the first through hole and the second through hole in sequence and is threaded with a nut. The nut is located on the side of the second connecting ear away from the first connecting ear, and a positioning element is installed between the first connecting ear and the second connecting ear to prevent the nut from loosening.
[0005] Furthermore, the positioning component includes a positioning plate. The side of the first connecting ear facing the second connecting ear is recessed to form a first groove, and the side of the second connecting ear facing the first connecting ear is recessed to form a second groove. The positioning plate is inserted into the space formed by the first groove and the second groove. A notch is opened at the center of the side of the second connecting ear facing the first connecting ear. A connecting part is installed on the side of the positioning plate facing the notch. The connecting part is inserted into the notch. A blocking block is fixed to the end of the connecting part away from the positioning plate. The blocking block is in contact with a plane of the two nuts and the second connecting ear. Two through holes are opened on one side of the positioning plate, which are aligned with the first through hole. One end of the internal hexagon screw passes through the through hole. Multiple weight-reducing holes are evenly opened on one side of the blocking block.
[0006] Furthermore, the connecting part and the positioning plate are integrally formed, and the blocking block and the connecting part are integrally formed.
[0007] Furthermore, two triangular reinforcing ribs are fixedly connected to the side of the support ear facing the first connecting ear, and the triangular reinforcing ribs are fixedly connected to the first steel strip.
[0008] Furthermore, the first connecting ear and the first steel strip are integrally formed, and the second connecting ear and the second steel strip are integrally formed.
[0009] Furthermore, the first connecting ear has a first rounded corner at each of the two corners away from the first steel strip, the second connecting ear has a second rounded corner at each of the two corners away from the second steel strip, and the support ear has a third rounded corner at each of the two corners away from the first steel strip.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] 1. When using hex socket screws and nuts to restrict the relative positions of the first and second steel strips, one end of the hex socket screw passes through the round hole, the first through hole, and the second through hole in sequence. Then, screw the nut onto the hex socket screw to complete the assembly of the first and second steel strips. With the support of the lug, there is a gap between the head of the hex socket screw and the first connecting lug. When the hex socket screw and nut are difficult to separate due to rust, insert a hacksaw blade into the gap between the lug and the first connecting lug, and then use the hacksaw blade to cut the hex socket screw, thereby reducing the difficulty of disassembling the rusted hex socket screw and nut, and providing an alternative disassembly method for removing the locator from wild animals.
[0012] 2. When assembling the hex socket screw and nut, insert the positioning plate into the space formed by the first and second grooves. At this time, the through hole on the positioning plate is aligned with the first and second through holes, and the connecting part is inserted into the notch, so that the hex socket screw passes through the channel formed by the round hole, the first through hole, the through hole, and the second through hole. After the hex socket screw and nut are assembled, one side of each nut is attached to the two sides of the blocking block. Under the restriction of the blocking block, the nuts are prevented from rotating at will, which improves the reliability of the connection between the nut and the hex socket screw. The hex socket screw and nut also cooperate to restrict the position of the positioning plate. Attached Figure Description

When assembling the hexagon socket screw 3 and the nut 8, the positioning plate 11 is inserted into the space formed by the first groove 15 and the second groove 17. At this time, the through hole 20 on the positioning plate 11 is aligned with the first through hole 16 and the second through hole 19. At the same time, the connecting part 12 is inserted into the notch 18, so that the hexagon socket screw 3 passes through the channel formed by the round hole 14, the first through hole 16, the through hole 20 and the second through hole 19. After the hexagon socket screw 3 and the nut 8 are assembled, one side of each nut 8 is attached to the two sides of the blocking block 9. Under the restriction of the blocking block 9, the nut 8 is prevented from rotating at will, which improves the reliability of the connection between the nut 8 and the hexagon socket screw 3. The hexagon socket screw 3 and the nut 8 cooperate with each other to restrict the position of the positioning plate 11.
