Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock tools technology, specifically to an electric cattle herder with an adjustment mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In the existing technology, traditional cattle herders are mostly stick-shaped tools of fixed length, which rely on manual swinging or physical contact to drive cattle. Taking the fixed-length electric cattle herder stick as an example, it uses an aluminum alloy tube with a rust-proof coating on the surface, is powered by a disposable 9V dry battery, has no charging function, and has no insulation protection layer. Protective gloves must be worn during operation to prevent electric shock.
[0003] It is mainly used for ranch management, cattle herding and transportation, but it has obvious limitations. The fixed length pole is difficult to adapt to different terrains (such as ditches and fences), requiring frequent tool changes or adjustments to the operating distance, which is inefficient. When herding cattle into the truck over short distances, the fixed length may require the operator to come into close contact with the cattle, increasing safety risks. Furthermore, it cannot adjust the intensity of stimulation according to the age of the cattle, and young cattle are prone to stress reactions due to excessive stimulation.
[0004] In view of this, we propose an electric cattle driver with an adjustment mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0032] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0033] An electrified cattle driver with an adjustment mechanism includes a rod 1, inside which is a main control chip (STM32F103C8T6 microcontroller, responsible for PWM signal generation and mode logic control).
[0034] In one embodiment of this utility model, a cattle herding assembly 2 is provided on the pole 1. The cattle herding assembly 2 includes a battery module 21. The battery module 21 is disposed inside one end of the pole 1. A switch 22 is movably installed inside the arc-shaped sidewall of the pole 1. An electric shock level adjustment knob 23 is rotatably installed inside the arc-shaped sidewall of the pole 1. In addition, the electric shock level adjustment knob 23 has three levels of adjustment: calf mode, adult cattle mode, and old cattle mode, to avoid harming calves and old cattle. One end of a tapered nested tube 24 is snapped into the other end of the pole 1. Two sets of tapered nested tubes 24 are provided, and the two sets of tapered nested tubes 24 are threaded together. The set of tapered nested tubes away from the pole 1 is further tapered. The external thread of the tapered nested tube 24 is fitted with one end of a carbon fiber tube 25. The other end of the carbon fiber tube 25 is fixedly installed with an end head 26, on which an electrode 27 is provided. In addition, an ABS anti-accidental contact cover is fixedly installed on the outside of the end head 26 to prevent the operator from accidentally touching the electrode 27 when not in use. A rectangular groove 28 is opened on the carbon fiber tube 25. A bracket 29 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the tapered nested tube 24. The fixed end of the telescopic rod 210 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bracket 29. A rectangular block 211 is fixedly installed on the movable end of the telescopic rod 210. In addition, the rectangular block 211 is adapted to the size of the rectangular groove 28 to achieve better engagement. A clamping spring 212 is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod 210.
[0035] In this embodiment, the main control chip inside the rod 1 serves as the core control unit of the entire cattle herder circuit system, possessing the functions of signal reception, processing, and command transmission. The battery module 21 acts as a power source, converting stored chemical energy into electrical energy, which is connected to the main control chip and other electrical components via wires, providing stable power support for the entire system. When the operator needs to herd cattle, they first rotate the electric shock level adjustment knob 23 inside the arc-shaped side wall of the rod 1. The electric shock level adjustment knob 23 has different resistance values or coding structures inside, corresponding to three modes: calf mode, adult cattle mode, and old cattle mode. When the knob is turned at different speeds, the internal contacts or encoding circuits change, generating corresponding electrical signals. These signals are transmitted to the main control chip via wires. The main control chip analyzes and processes the signals, and issues control commands based on preset programs and parameters. The main control chip, through switch 22 in the control circuit or by adjusting circuit parameters, causes electrode 27 to output current of corresponding power. For example, in calf mode, the main control chip control circuit reduces the output voltage and current intensity to avoid harming the calf; while in adult and senior calf modes, the output current intensity is adjusted according to the calf's tolerance level. Specifically:
[0036] Signal generation: The main control chip calls preset PWM parameters (frequency, pulse width, voltage) to drive the boost module;
[0037] Current output: Electrode 27 outputs differentiated pulse current, while the closed-loop feedback system monitors the current value in real time;
[0038] Protection trigger: If the current exceeds the limit (young calf > 0.3A, adult calf > 0.5A, old calf > 0.2A), the resettable fuse will immediately cut off the circuit.
[0039] Table 1. Current constant:
[0040] model Peak voltage (V) Frequency (Hz) Pulse width (ms) Current threshold (A) calves 8 8 1.5 0.3 Cheng Niu 12 10 2 0.5 Old Niu 6 6 1 0.2
[0041] After setting the electric shock level, press the switch 22 inside the arc-shaped side wall of the rod 1. Switch 22 is essentially a circuit on / off control element; when pressed, its internal contacts close, creating a closed circuit. At this time, the electrical energy output from the battery module 21, under the control of the main control chip, is transmitted along the conductive circuit to the electrode 27. The electrode 27 then begins to work, generating electrical stimulation. If the length of the herder needs to be adjusted to suit different usage scenarios during cattle herding, the operator presses the rectangular block 211. The rectangular block 211 is fixedly connected to the movable end of the telescopic rod 210. When pressed, it overcomes the resistance of the spring 212. The elastic force causes the telescopic rod 210 to contract within the inner wall of the bracket 29, compressing and deforming against the spring 212, storing elastic potential energy. At this time, the rectangular block 211 leaves the rectangular groove 28 on the carbon fiber tube 25, and the relative rotation restriction between the carbon fiber tube 25 and the tapered nested tube 24 is released. Since the two sets of tapered nested tubes 24 are threadedly connected, and the carbon fiber tube 25 and the tapered nested tube 24 are also threadedly connected, the operator can adjust their relative positions by rotating the carbon fiber tube 25 and the tapered nested tube 24, thereby changing the overall length of the cattle herder, thus allowing it to stay away from the cattle and increasing safety.
[0042] In one embodiment of this utility model, an auxiliary component 3 is also provided on the rod body 1. The auxiliary component 3 includes a double-layer silicone rubber layer 31. The rod body 1 is covered with a double-layer silicone rubber layer 31 to better protect the operator. In addition, an LED strobe light 32 is fixedly installed at one end of the end 26 to improve the success rate of herding cattle. In addition, a buzzer 33 is fixedly installed at the other end of the end 26 to improve the success rate of herding cattle.
[0043] In this embodiment, the double-layer silicone rubber layer 31 covering the outside of the pole 1 is composed of two layers of silicone rubber material with high insulation performance. The silicone rubber material has good insulation, flexibility and wear resistance. The double-layer structure further enhances the insulation protection effect. During use, even if there is an abnormality such as leakage in the internal circuit of the pole 1, the double-layer silicone rubber layer 31 can effectively prevent current leakage, prevent electric shock to the operator, and ensure the personal safety of the operator. When the cattle driver is started and the switch 22 is pressed to conduct the circuit, the electrical energy output by the battery module 21 is transmitted to the main control chip. After receiving the circuit conduction signal, the main control chip, according to the preset program, sends power to the LED strobe light 32 at one end of the end 26 and the other end. The buzzer 33 issues a start command. The LED strobe light 32 integrates an LED light source and a control circuit. After receiving the command from the main control chip, the control circuit drives the LED light source to flash at a specific frequency to generate a visual stimulus signal. The buzzer 33 contains a sound-emitting unit and a drive circuit. After receiving the command from the main control chip, the drive circuit drives the sound-emitting unit to emit a sound of a specific frequency and intensity to generate an auditory stimulus signal. The flashing light of the LED strobe light 32 and the sound of the buzzer 33, together with the electrical stimulation generated by the electrode 27, stimulate the cattle herd from three dimensions: visual, auditory, and tactile. This provides the cattle herd with multifaceted warnings and driving signals, thereby increasing the success rate of herding the cattle.
[0044] All electrical components appearing in this application are electrically connected to the battery module 21 and the main control chip. The battery module 21 is a conventional and known device that can control the switch 22, the electric shock level adjustment knob 23, the electrode 27, the LED strobe light 32, and the buzzer 33. 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 all adopt conventional models in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.
[0045] 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.
