Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of livestock products, and in particular to a smart collar for livestock. Background Technology

[0002] Smart collars are widely used in animal husbandry. By dressing animals in smart collars, relevant animal information can be effectively tracked and recorded, facilitating refined management of animals on farms. To address the inconvenience of adjusting the diameter of traditional smart collars, several new smart collars have emerged on the market. For example, Chinese invention patent application CN119234727A, entitled "A Smart Neck Collar Device and System," describes a smart neck collar comprising a first neck collar unit, a second neck collar unit, a first adjustment unit, a second adjustment unit, a fixing unit, a first locking unit, and a second locking unit. The second end of the second neck collar unit is rotatably connected to the first end of the first neck collar unit. The first adjustment unit is located at the second end of the first neck collar unit and is used to adjust the circumference of the first neck collar unit. The second adjustment unit is located at the first end of the second neck collar unit and is used to... The first adjustment unit is used to adjust the circumference of the first neck ring unit and the second neck ring unit; the fixing unit is movably connected to the first adjustment unit and the second adjustment unit respectively to prevent the first adjustment unit and the second adjustment unit from separating; the first locking unit is slidably connected to the fixing unit and locked to the first adjustment unit to lock the relative position of the first adjustment unit and the fixing unit; the second locking unit is slidably connected to the fixing unit and locked to the second adjustment unit and the first locking unit respectively to lock the relative position of the second adjustment unit and the fixing unit; the second locking unit is provided with a switching element, which is used to separate the second locking unit from the first locking unit. The smart collar achieves relative fixation of the first adjustment unit, the second adjustment unit, and the fixing unit through mutual locking between the first locking unit and the second locking unit, thereby fixing the diameter of the smart collar. Since the separation of the first locking unit and the second locking unit is controlled by a switching element, the switching element is easily triggered by collisions or other reasons during livestock grazing, causing the first locking unit, the second locking unit, the first adjustment unit, the second adjustment unit, and the fixing unit to disassemble. This results in the smart collar remaining loose for a long time, making it easy for the smart collar to fall off the livestock's neck and malfunction. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an intelligent livestock collar, which has the advantages of reasonable design, simple structure, convenient adjustment of collar diameter, and high structural stability.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a smart livestock collar, including a collar bar, a connecting seat, a self-locking mechanism and an unlocking mechanism;

[0005] The connecting seat has a first adjusting slide, a second adjusting slide, and a self-locking slide. Both ends of the first adjusting slide and the second adjusting slide are connected to the outer surface of the connecting seat. Both the first adjusting slide and the second adjusting slide are arc-shaped structures. The first adjusting slide is located radially outside the second adjusting slide. One end of the self-locking slide is connected to the first adjusting slide, and the other end of the self-locking slide is connected to the second adjusting slide.

[0006] The collar bar is a long strip structure with bending ability. Several locking holes are evenly distributed along its walking path on the collar bar. One end of the collar bar is slidably inserted into the first adjustment slide from one side of the connecting seat, and the other end of the collar bar is slidably inserted into the second adjustment slide from the other side of the connecting seat, so that the collar bar and the connecting seat are connected to form a ring-shaped collar structure.

[0007] The self-locking mechanism includes a first locking member, a second locking member, and a self-locking spring. The first locking member and the second locking member are slidably disposed in the self-locking slide. The first locking member slides toward the first adjustment slide and can be embedded in a locking hole of the collar strip. The second locking member slides toward the second adjustment slide and can be embedded in a locking hole of the collar strip. The self-locking spring is compressed and disposed between the first locking member and the second locking member.

[0008] The unlocking mechanism is located on the connecting seat and is used to drive the first locking member and the second locking member to slide closer to each other.

[0009] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0010] In use, the unlocking mechanism drives the first and second locking components to slide closer together, thereby releasing their lock on the collar bar. The collar bar then slides to adjust the relative positions of its two ends on the first and second adjustment tracks, thus adjusting the collar's diameter. This makes diameter adjustment more convenient and flexible. After adjustment, the unlocking mechanism is stopped. Under the action of the self-locking spring, the first and second locking components slide away from each other and re-lock into the collar bar's locking holes. This design ensures high structural stability even if the unlocking mechanism is briefly triggered due to collisions during livestock grazing. Furthermore, the collar bar and connecting seat are independent modular structures. The collar bar can be cut to the appropriate length according to the animal's size, increasing the versatility of this intelligent livestock collar. Damaged collar bars and connecting seats can also be replaced individually, making maintenance more convenient.

[0011] Furthermore, in the aforementioned intelligent livestock collar, a first transmission inclined surface is formed on the first locking member, and a second transmission inclined surface is formed on the second locking member; the unlocking mechanism includes a driving member, which is slidably disposed on the connecting seat, and a first pressing head and a second pressing head are formed on the driving member. The first pressing head abuts against the first transmission inclined surface, and the second pressing head abuts against the second transmission inclined surface. The driving member can press the first locking member and the second locking member closer to each other by sliding.

[0012] Furthermore, in the aforementioned intelligent livestock collar, an unlocking groove is formed on the self-locking slide, and a sliding hole is formed on the bottom of the unlocking groove, the sliding hole communicating with the outer surface of the connecting seat; the driving member has an operating part and a sliding part formed sequentially along its axial direction, the operating part is slidably inserted in the sliding hole, the sliding part is slidably disposed in the unlocking groove, and a first pressing head and a second pressing head are formed on the side of the sliding part facing the self-locking slide.

[0013] Furthermore, in the aforementioned intelligent livestock collar, an installation groove is formed on the outer surface of the connecting seat, and the bottom of the installation groove is connected to the bottom of the unlocking slide groove through the sliding hole; a pressing head is provided at the end of the driving member operating part facing away from the sliding part, and the pressing head is slidably disposed in the installation groove; the unlocking mechanism also includes a return spring, which is compressed between the pressing head and the bottom of the installation groove, so that the driving member has a tendency to slide away from the direction of the self-locking slide groove.

[0014] Furthermore, in the aforementioned intelligent livestock collar, a first limiting part and a second limiting part are formed on the self-locking slide. The first limiting part cooperates with the first transmission inclined surface to limit the depth of the first locking member extending into the first adjusting slide, and the second limiting part cooperates with the second transmission inclined surface to limit the depth of the second locking member extending into the second adjusting slide.

[0015] Furthermore, in the aforementioned intelligent livestock collar, the first locking member has a first unlocking ramp. When the collar bar slides along the first adjusting slide to tighten the collar structure, the first unlocking ramp can be squeezed by the corresponding locking hole on the collar bar, causing the first locking member to slide away from the first adjusting slide. The second locking member has a first unlocking ramp. When the collar bar slides along the second adjusting slide to tighten the collar structure, the second unlocking ramp can be squeezed by the corresponding locking hole on the collar bar, causing the second locking member to slide away from the second adjusting slide.

[0016] Furthermore, in the aforementioned intelligent livestock collar, a plurality of first observation ports are sequentially arranged along the walking path of the first adjusting slide, and a plurality of second observation ports are sequentially arranged along the walking path of the second adjusting slide. Both the first and second observation ports are connected to the outer surface of the connecting seat. A first guide slope is formed between the inner wall of the first observation port and the inner wall of the first adjusting slide, and the first guide slope is used to prevent the end of the collar bar from getting stuck in the first observation port when it slides. A second guide slope is formed between the inner wall of the second observation port and the inner wall of the second adjusting slide, and the second guide slope is used to prevent the end of the collar bar from getting stuck in the second observation port when it slides.

[0017] Furthermore, as described above, a smart livestock collar also includes a protective pad, which comprises an inner pad and an outer pad. Both the inner and outer pads are arc-shaped structures. The outer pad is located on the outer ring side of the collar strip, and the inner pad is located on the inner ring side of the collar strip. An assembly hole is formed on the outer pad, and a combination buckle is formed on the inner pad. The combination buckle passes through a locking hole in the collar strip and locks into the assembly hole, so that the outer pad and the inner pad together wrap the collar strip.

[0018] Furthermore, in the aforementioned intelligent livestock collar, the connecting base is equipped with a recording module and a communication module. The recording module and the communication module are electrically connected. The recording module is used to record animal information, and the communication module transmits data with an external reading and writing device.

[0019] Furthermore, in the aforementioned intelligent livestock collar, the connecting seat includes a base and a cover. The base has a first adjusting slide, a second adjusting slide, and a self-locking slide. The cover is detachably connected to the base, such that the cover and the base enclose an installation cavity. The recording module and the communication module are both located within the installation cavity.

[0020] The advantages of this utility model are: reasonable design, simple structure, convenient adjustment of the diameter of the collar structure, and high structural stability. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0031] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 8 An intelligent livestock collar, as an example, includes a collar bar 1, a connecting seat 2, a self-locking mechanism 3, and an unlocking mechanism 4;

[0033] The connecting seat 2 has a first adjusting slide 211, a second adjusting slide 212 and a self-locking slide 213 formed inside. Both ends of the first adjusting slide 211 and the second adjusting slide 212 are connected to the outer surface of the connecting seat 2. Both the first adjusting slide 211 and the second adjusting slide 212 are arc-shaped structures. The first adjusting slide 211 is located radially outside the second adjusting slide 212. One end of the self-locking slide 213 is connected to the middle position of the first adjusting slide 211, and the other end of the self-locking slide 213 is connected to the middle position of the second adjusting slide 212.

[0034] The collar bar 1 is a long strip structure with bending ability. In this embodiment, the collar bar 1 is a plastic profile. Several locking holes 11 are evenly distributed on the collar bar 1 along its travel path. One end of the collar bar 1 is slidably inserted into the first adjusting slide 211 from one side of the connecting seat 2, and the other end of the collar bar 1 is slidably inserted into the second adjusting slide 212 from the other side of the connecting seat 2, so that the collar bar 1 and the connecting seat 2 are connected to form a ring-shaped collar structure.

[0035] The self-locking mechanism 3 includes a first locking member 31, a second locking member 32, and a self-locking spring 33. The first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 are slidably disposed in the self-locking slide 213. The first locking member 31 slides toward the first adjusting slide 211 and can be embedded in a locking hole 11 of the collar strip 1. The second locking member 32 slides toward the second adjusting slide 212 and can be embedded in a locking hole 11 of the collar strip 1. The self-locking spring 33 is compressed and disposed between the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32.

[0036] The unlocking mechanism 4 is mounted on the connecting seat 2. The unlocking mechanism 4 is used to drive the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 to slide closer to each other.

[0037] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0038] In use, the unlocking mechanism 4 drives the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 to slide closer to each other, thereby releasing the lock of the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 on the collar strip 1. The collar strip 1 adjusts the relative positions of its two ends to the first adjustment slide 211 and the second adjustment slide 212 by sliding, thereby adjusting the diameter of the collar structure. The diameter adjustment of the collar structure is more convenient and flexible. After the collar structure is adjusted, the operation of the unlocking mechanism 4 is stopped. Under the action of the self-locking spring 33, the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 slide away from each other and re-lock into the locking hole 11 of the collar strip 1 to lock the collar strip 1. With this design, even if the unlocking mechanism 4 is briefly and accidentally triggered due to collisions or other reasons during livestock grazing, the collar structure can still maintain a stable structure under the action of the self-locking spring 33, resulting in high structural stability. In addition, the collar bar 1 and the connecting seat 2 are independent modular structures. The collar bar 1 can be cut to a suitable length according to the size of the livestock during actual use, making this intelligent livestock collar more versatile. If the collar bar 1 or the connecting seat 2 is damaged, it can also be replaced separately, making maintenance more convenient.

[0039] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the first locking member 31 has a first transmission inclined surface 311, and the second locking member 32 has a second transmission inclined surface 321. The first transmission inclined surface 311 and the second transmission inclined surface 321 have opposite inclination directions and are arranged along the length direction of the self-locking slide 213. The unlocking mechanism 4 includes a driving member 41, which is slidably disposed on the connecting seat 2. The driving member 41 has a first pressing head 4121 and a second pressing head 4122. The first pressing head 4121 has a first pressing inclined surface, which abuts against the first transmission inclined surface 311. The second pressing head 4122 has a second pressing inclined surface, which abuts against the second transmission inclined surface 321. The driving member 41 can press the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 closer to each other by sliding towards the direction of the self-locking slide 213. With this design, the unlocking mechanism 4 can easily drive the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 to slide closer to each other and release the lock on the collar bar 1, making the adjustment operation of the collar structure more convenient.

[0040] like Figure 4As shown, an unlocking groove 214 is formed on the self-locking slide 213, and a sliding hole is formed on the bottom of the unlocking groove 214. The sliding hole communicates with the outer surface of the connecting seat 2. The driving member 41 has an operating part 411 and a sliding part 412 formed sequentially along its axial direction. The operating part 411 is slidably inserted in the sliding hole, and the sliding part 412 is slidably disposed in the unlocking groove 214. The first pressing head 4121 and the second pressing head 4122 are formed on the side of the sliding part 412 facing the self-locking slide 213. In use, the user can push the drive member 41 to slide by pressing the operating part 411, making operation more convenient. In addition, due to the design of the sliding part 412 of the drive member 41 sliding in the unlocking groove 214, when there is no external force applied to the drive member 41, the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 slide away from each other under the action of the self-locking spring 33, so that the drive member 41 is pushed by the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 to slide away from the self-locking slide 213 until the sliding part 412 of the drive member 41 abuts against the bottom of the unlocking groove 214. This structure can realize the automatic reset of the drive member 41 and limit the sliding range of the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32, making it more convenient to use.

[0041] like Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the first locking member 31 has a first unlocking slope 312. The slope direction of the first unlocking slope 312 is set along the first adjusting slide 211. When the collar bar 1 slides along the first adjusting slide 211 to tighten the collar structure, the first unlocking slope 312 can be squeezed by the corresponding locking hole 11 on the collar bar 1, causing the first locking member 31 to slide away from the first adjusting slide 211. The second locking member 32 has a first unlocking slope 312. The slope direction of the second unlocking slope 322 is set along the second adjusting slide 212. When the collar bar 1 slides along the second adjusting slide 212 to tighten the collar structure, the second unlocking slope 322 can be squeezed by the corresponding locking hole 11 on the collar bar 1, causing the second locking member 32 to slide away from the second adjusting slide 212. With this design, the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 lock only in a single sliding direction of the collar bar 1. When the collar bar 1 is tightening the collar structure, the user does not need to operate the unlocking mechanism 4 to tighten the collar structure, making the operation more convenient.

[0042] like Figure 4As shown, a mounting groove 215 is formed on the outer surface of the connecting seat 2. The bottom of the mounting groove 215 is connected to the bottom of the unlocking slide 214 through the sliding hole. A pressing head 42 is provided at the end of the operating part 411 of the driving member 41 facing away from the sliding part 412. The pressing head 42 is slidably disposed in the mounting groove 215. The unlocking mechanism 4 also includes a return spring 43, which is compressed between the pressing head 42 and the bottom of the mounting groove 215, so that the driving member 41 has a tendency to slide away from the direction of the self-locking slide 213. When the user tightens the collar bar 1 without operating the unlocking mechanism 4, the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 pushed by the collar bar 1 will briefly disengage from the driving member 41, causing the driving member 41 to loosen. By adopting the above design, the driving member 41 can remain relatively fixed to the connecting seat 2 when there is no external force, making the connection structure of the driving member 41 more stable.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, the self-locking slide 213 has a first limiting part 216 and a second limiting part 217. The first limiting part 216 has a first limiting slope, which, in conjunction with the first transmission slope 311, limits the depth to which the first locking member 31 extends into the first adjusting slide 211. The second limiting part 217 has a second limiting slope, which, in conjunction with the second transmission slope 321, limits the depth to which the second locking member 32 extends into the second adjusting slide 212. With prolonged use, wear may occur on the bottom of the drive member 41 or the unlocking groove 214, leading to unstable limiting of the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32. By adding the first limiting part 216 and the second limiting part 217, stable operation of the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 can be ensured, extending the service life of this intelligent livestock collar.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, a plurality of first observation ports 218 are sequentially arranged along the travel path of the first adjusting slide 211, and a plurality of second observation ports 219 are sequentially arranged along the travel path of the second adjusting slide 212. Both the first observation ports 218 and the second observation ports 219 are connected to the outer surface of the connecting seat 2. A first guide slope 2181 is formed between the inner wall of the first observation port 218 and the inner wall of the first adjusting slide 211. The inclination direction of the first guide slope 2181 is set along the first adjusting slide 211. The first guide slope 2181 is used to prevent the end of the collar bar 1 from getting stuck in the first observation port 218 when it slides. A second guide slope 2191 is formed between the inner wall of the second observation port 219 and the inner wall of the second adjusting slide 212. The inclination direction of the second guide slope 2191 is set along the second adjusting slide 212. The second guide slope 2191 is used to prevent the end of the collar bar 1 from getting stuck in the second observation port 219 when it slides. When adjusting the collar structure by sliding the collar bar 1, the user can observe through the first observation port 218 that the end of the collar bar 1 is in the position of the first adjustment slide 211, and through the second observation port 219 that the end of the collar bar 1 is in the position of the second adjustment slide 212, making the adjustment operation of the collar bar 1 more intuitive and convenient. Furthermore, the first guide slope 2181 formed by the first observation port 218 and the second guide slope 2191 formed by the second observation port 219 can prevent the end of the collar bar 1 from getting stuck on the first observation port 218 or the second observation port 219 when sliding, making the sliding of the collar bar 1 smoother.

[0045] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment also includes a protective pad 5, which includes an inner pad 51 and an outer pad 52. Both the inner pad 51 and the outer pad 52 are arc-shaped structures. The outer pad 52 is located on the outer ring side of the collar strip 1, and the inner pad 51 is located on the inner ring side of the collar strip 1. An assembly hole is formed on the outer pad 52, and a combination buckle 511 is formed on the inner pad 51. The combination buckle 511 passes through a locking hole 11 of the collar strip 1 and locks into the assembly hole, so that the outer pad 52 and the inner pad 51 together wrap the collar strip 1. By adding the protective pad 5, the wearing comfort of this intelligent livestock collar can be improved. The design of the protective pad 5 using the inner pad 51 and the outer pad 52 to assemble and wrap the collar strip 1 makes it easy to disassemble and install the protective pad 5, and makes maintenance and replacement more convenient.

[0046] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the connecting base 2 is equipped with a recording module 6 and a communication module 7. The recording module 6 and the communication module 7 are electrically connected. The recording module 6 is used to record animal information, and the communication module 7 transmits data with an external reading and writing device. By setting up the recording module 6 and the communication module 7, the ranch can easily track the status of livestock, making management more convenient.

[0047] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the connecting base 2 is equipped with a power storage module 9 and a positioning module 8. The positioning module 8 is electrically connected to the recording module 6. The positioning module 8 is used to monitor the longitude, latitude and other location information of the intelligent livestock collar and transmit the location information to the recording module 6 for recording, so as to facilitate the monitoring of the livestock's location and the calculation of the livestock's daily exercise volume, and facilitate the farm to monitor the livestock's condition. The power storage module 9 is used to supply power to the positioning module 8 and the recording module 6.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the connecting seat 2 includes a base 21 and a cover 22. The base 21 has a first adjusting slide 211, a second adjusting slide 212, a self-locking slide 213, an unlocking slide groove 214, a sliding hole, a mounting groove 215, a first limiting part 216, a second limiting part 217, a first observation port 218, and a second observation port 219. The cover 22 is detachably connected to the base 21 by mounting screws 23, so that the cover 22 and the base 21 enclose a mounting cavity 24. The recording module 6, the communication module 7, the power storage module 9, and the positioning module 8 are all disposed in the mounting cavity 24. This design prevents the recording module 6, communication module 7, power storage module 9, and positioning module 8 from being directly exposed to the external environment, thus providing dust and water protection. The cover 22 is detachably connected to the base 21 via mounting screws 23, making it easy to install and remove, and facilitating battery replacement for the power storage module 9. In addition, the cover 22 has a numbered label 221, allowing users to easily identify the livestock's management number from a distance and locate the target livestock more quickly.

[0049] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, this utility model can have various modifications, combinations, and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
