Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock breeding equipment technology, specifically to an anti-clogging baby bottle for calves. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the field of livestock breeding equipment, various technical solutions have been applied to the design of traditional baby bottles to address the issues of preventing choking and clogging during calf feeding. These solutions mainly involve setting up vents and air ducts inside the bottle or bottle body to balance the air pressure inside and outside the bottle, thereby preventing negative pressure from forming inside the bottle when the calf sucks, thus preventing the milk from flowing too fast due to negative pressure and reducing the risk of choking.

[0003] However, from the perspective of intelligent and precise breeding needs and actual application effects, the following shortcomings still exist: existing feeding bottles cannot accurately identify individual differences of different calves (such as age, weight, health status, etc.), and cannot customize personalized feeding parameters (such as flow rate, temperature, etc.) for each calf, resulting in a "one-size-fits-all" feeding plan, which may affect the growth efficiency of calves, and even increase health risks due to improper feeding. Managers need to conduct frequent on-site inspections, increasing labor costs and labor intensity, and cannot respond in a timely manner to emergencies during the feeding process (such as nipple blockage, abnormal sucking by calves, etc.).

[0004] In view of this, we propose an anti-clogging baby bottle for calves. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an anti-clogging baby bottle for calves to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A clog-resistant feeding bottle for calves includes a bottle body, a bottle shoulder fixedly mounted on the bottle body, a bio-valve membrane inside the bottle shoulder, and a feeding assembly disposed on the bottle shoulder, the feeding assembly comprising:

[0008] The bottle cap is threaded onto the shoulder of the bottle, and a nipple is fixedly mounted on the bottle cap. The nipple comprises high-elasticity silicone and food-grade antibacterial silicone, and an aramid fiber mesh is disposed between the high-elasticity silicone and the food-grade antibacterial silicone.

[0009] A flow rate sensor is fixedly installed inside the arc-shaped sidewall of the bottle shoulder. A temperature sensor and an attitude sensor are also fixedly installed inside the arc-shaped sidewall of the bottle shoulder. A miniature RFID reader is embedded inside the bottle shoulder.

[0010] A perforated ring frame is fixedly installed on the arc-shaped inner wall of the shoulder of the bottle. The perforated ring frame has a through inner ring, a middle ring, and an outer ring from the inside to the outside. An inner ring plate is engaged inside the middle ring, and an outer ring plate is engaged inside the outer ring.

[0011] In a further embodiment, the circular cross-sections of the bottle body, bottle shoulder, bottle cap, nipple, hole ring holder, inner hole ring, middle hole ring, outer hole ring, inner ring plate, and outer ring plate are coaxial, thereby improving feeding efficiency.

[0012] In a further embodiment, the flow rate sensor, temperature sensor, attitude sensor, and miniature RFID reader are all electrically connected to the back-end control system and the electronic ear tag worn by the calf.

[0013] In a further embodiment, the miniature RFID reader is a device system that automatically identifies specific targets and reads and writes relevant data via radio waves.

[0014] In a further embodiment, the miniature RFID reader activates the electronic tag by transmitting a radio frequency signal through an antenna. In the near-field region, it powers the passive tag through electromagnetic induction. The tag reflects the signal carrying ID information through load modulation. After receiving the signal, the miniature RFID reader reconstructs the data through DSP digital processing and uploads the data to the cloud via LoRa or NB-IoT, making the baby bottle itself more practical.

[0015] In a further embodiment, a folding assembly is provided on the outside of the bottle body. The folding assembly includes a rotating plate. One end of the bottle body away from the shoulder of the bottle is snapped onto the outer wall of the rotating plate. The other end of the rotating plate is sleeved on the outside of a bolt, and a nut is threaded onto the bolt.

[0016] In a further embodiment, the rotating plate outside the bolt and the main body of the milk bottle are provided in two sets for convenient use in the field, and different milk is fed to the current calf, so that the two sets of milk bottles face different directions.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an anti-clogging baby bottle for calves, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. This calf-use anti-clogging bottle, designed for greater calf utility, incorporates a feeding assembly that integrates the bottle body, shoulder, cap, and nipple to provide basic feeding functionality. High-elasticity silicone, food-grade antibacterial silicone, and aramid fiber mesh enhance structural strength, preventing deformation over time and ensuring hygiene. Flow rate, temperature, and posture sensors, along with a miniature RFID reader, monitor the bottle's flow rate, temperature, and posture for easier operation. A ring frame, inner ring, middle ring, outer ring, inner ring plate, and outer ring plate allow for real-time adjustment of liquid delivery, preventing clogging and choking. This enables customized feeding plans based on individual calf differences, improving weight gain efficiency. Early detection of disease symptoms through sucking data improves disease warning accuracy. It also supports centralized monitoring by multiple devices, reducing manual inspection workload. The accumulated feeding data can be used to optimize pasture management, further enhancing the bottle's practicality.

[0031] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0032] A clog-resistant baby bottle for calves includes a bottle body 1, a bottle shoulder 2 fixedly installed on the bottle body 1, and a bio-valve membrane inside the bottle shoulder 2.

[0033] In one embodiment of this utility model, a feeding component 3 is provided on the shoulder 2 of the bottle. The feeding component 3 includes a bottle cap 31, which is threaded onto the shoulder 2. A nipple 32 is fixedly installed on the bottle cap 31. The nipple 32 includes a high-elasticity silicone 321 and a food-grade antibacterial silicone 322. An aramid fiber mesh 323 is disposed between the high-elasticity silicone 321 and the food-grade antibacterial silicone 322. A flow rate sensor 33 is fixedly installed inside the arc-shaped sidewall of the shoulder 2. A temperature sensor 34 and a posture sensor 35 are also fixedly installed inside the arc-shaped sidewall of the shoulder 2. A miniature RFID reader 36 is embedded inside the shoulder 2. In addition, the flow rate sensor 33, temperature sensor 34, posture sensor 35, and miniature RFID reader 36 are all electrically connected to the background control system and the electronic ear tag worn by the calf. Furthermore, the miniature RFID reader 36 is a device that automatically identifies specific targets and reads and writes relevant data through radio waves. In addition, the miniature RFID reader 36 activates the electronic tag by transmitting radio frequency signals through an antenna. In the near-field area, it powers the passive tag through electromagnetic induction. The tag reflects the signal carrying ID information through load modulation. After receiving the signal, the miniature RFID reader 36 reconstructs the data through DSP digital processing and uploads the data to the cloud via LoRa or NB-IoT, making the bottle more practical. A perforated ring 37 is fixedly installed on the curved inner wall of the bottle shoulder 2. The ring frame 37 has through-hole rings 38, 39, and 310 from the inside out. The inner ring 39 is fitted with an inner ring plate 311, and the outer ring 310 is fitted with an outer ring plate 312. In addition, the circular cross-sections of the bottle body 1, bottle shoulder 2, bottle cap 31, nipple 32, ring frame 37, inner ring 38, 39, outer ring 310, inner ring plate 311, and outer ring plate 312 are coaxial, thus facilitating better feeding.

[0034] In this embodiment, the bottle body 1 serves as a milk storage container. When the calf is feeding, it sucks the milk from the bottle body 1 through the nipple 32. The milk flows out through the nipple 32 via the bottle shoulder 2, thus achieving the basic feeding function. The nipple 32 is designed with a combination of high-elasticity silicone 321, food-grade antibacterial silicone 322, and aramid fiber mesh 323. The high-elasticity silicone 321 is soft and conforms to the calf's mouth, undergoing elastic deformation when the calf sucks to facilitate milk flow. The food-grade antibacterial silicone 322 inhibits the growth of bacteria and microorganisms on the surface of the nipple 32, preventing secondary contamination of the milk. The aramid fiber mesh 323, with its high strength and high toughness, enhances the overall structure of the nipple 32. The structural strength effectively prevents the nipple 32 from deforming or breaking, even under frequent sucking and biting by calves, extending its service life and ensuring a stable and safe feeding process. The flow rate sensor 33 is installed inside the arc-shaped side wall of the bottle shoulder 2. Its working principle is based on sensing the flow of milk. When milk flows from the bottle shoulder 2 to the nipple 32, the flow rate sensor 33 captures changes in the milk flow rate. It converts the milk flow rate into an electrical signal, which is amplified and filtered by the internal signal processing module before being transmitted to the back-end control system. By analyzing the flow rate data, farm staff can determine the calf's sucking strength and frequency, as well as the smoothness of milk delivery. If abnormal flow rate is detected, such as too fast or too slow, the bottle settings can be adjusted promptly or a blockage can be checked. Temperature sensor 34 is also located inside the curved side wall of the bottle shoulder 2. It senses the milk temperature through a temperature-sensing element. The element undergoes corresponding physical or chemical changes in response to milk temperature variations, such as changes in resistance, converting the temperature signal into an electrical signal. After processing by the signal conditioning circuit, temperature sensor 34 accurately transmits the milk temperature data to the back-end control system. Because calves are quite sensitive to milk temperature, and a suitable temperature aids digestion and absorption, the back-end system will promptly issue an alarm when temperature sensor 34 detects that the milk temperature is too high or too low, prompting the relevant personnel to intervene. Personnel adjust the milk temperature to ensure the milk consumed by the calves is within the appropriate temperature range. The posture sensor 35 is located inside the arc-shaped side wall of the shoulder of the bottle. It integrates sensor components such as accelerometer and gyroscope, which can sense the posture information of the bottle in space in real time, such as the tilt angle and rotation status. When the calf sucks the bottle or the position of the bottle changes, the posture sensor 35 converts the detected posture data into electrical signals and transmits these data to the background control system through a specific data transmission protocol. By analyzing the bottle posture data, the system can determine the calf's feeding status, such as whether it is sucking normally or whether the bottle has been knocked over, providing more comprehensive information for farm management.A miniature RFID reader 36 is embedded inside the shoulder section 2 of the baby bottle. When in operation, it first transmits a radio frequency signal via an antenna. When the electronic ear tag worn by the calf enters the effective identification range of the miniature RFID reader 36, the radio frequency signal activates the electronic tag. In the near-field region, the miniature RFID reader 36 powers the passive electronic tag through electromagnetic induction, enabling the tag to function. The electronic tag reflects the calf's ID information back to the signal in a specific encoding format using load modulation. After receiving the reflected signal, the miniature RFID reader 36 performs digital processing via its internal DSP (Digital Signal Processor) to remove noise, parse the encoding, and reconstruct the calf's ID information and other data. Finally, the miniature RFID reader 36 transmits the identified calf ID via LoRa (LoRa long-range radio) or NB-IoT (Narrowband Internet of Things) communication technology. Information and data collected by other sensors are uploaded to a cloud server. The cloud server stores, analyzes, and processes this data to create a personalized feeding record for each calf, enabling farm staff to develop precise feeding plans based on individual calf differences. A ring holder 37 is fixedly installed on the arc-shaped inner wall of the shoulder 2 of the milk bottle. It has through-hole rings 38, 39, and 310, with an inner ring plate 311 engaged within the 39 and an outer ring plate 312 engaged within the 310. By manually adjusting the positions of the inner and outer ring plates 311 and 312 within their respective rings, the cross-sectional area of ​​the milk flow channel is changed. This not only effectively prevents milk blockage inside the bottle but also allows for flexible adjustment of the milk flow rate based on the calf's different growth stages, sucking ability, and feeding needs, providing a more scientific and reasonable feeding experience.

[0035] In one embodiment of this utility model, a folding assembly 4 is provided on the outside of the bottle body 1. The folding assembly 4 includes a rotating plate 41. One end of the bottle body 1 away from the bottle shoulder 2 is snapped onto the outer wall of the rotating plate 41. The other end of the rotating plate 41 is sleeved on the outside of the bolt 42. A nut 43 is threaded on the bolt 42. In addition, two sets of rotating plates 41 and bottle bodies 1 are provided on the outside of the bolt 42 for convenient use in the field. At the same time, different milk is fed to the current calf, so that the two sets of bottles face different directions.

[0036] In this embodiment, when used in a field setting, the two sets of milk bottle bodies 1 can be mounted on the same bolt 42 via a rotating plate 41. According to actual needs, the staff can loosen the nut 43 and adjust the angle of the rotating plate 41 so that the two sets of milk bottles face different directions, thereby enabling the simultaneous feeding of different calves. This design not only improves feeding efficiency but also makes it convenient for staff to carry and operate in the field, meeting diverse feeding needs. It is especially suitable for situations where the pasture area is large and the calves are scattered.

[0037] In this application, all electrical components are connected to the background control system and the electronic ear tag worn by the calf via electrical signals. The controller is a conventional known device that can control the flow rate sensor 33, temperature sensor 34, attitude sensor 35, and miniature RFID reader 36. All standard parts used in this application can be purchased from the market. The specific connection methods of each part are all conventional methods such as riveting and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts, and equipment are all conventional models in the prior art. In addition, the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0038] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
