[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-6 As one embodiment of this utility model, it discloses an electronic ear tag for plateau animal husbandry, including an electronic ear tag body 1. An L-shaped plate 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the electronic ear tag body 1. A snap-fit ​​seat 4 is rotatably installed on the top of the electronic ear tag body 1 through a hinge assembly 3. The upper end of the snap-fit ​​seat 4 is movably connected to the right end of the horizontal plate 21 of the L-shaped plate 2 through a snap-fit ​​assembly 5. The electronic ear tag body 1 includes a shell and a circuit board inside the shell. How the electronic ear tag body 1 records the basic information of the animal through the circuit board, the structure of the circuit board and the working principle are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0024] The L-shaped plate 2, the card holder 4, and the electronic ear tag body 1 form a rectangular frame, and a rubber plate 6 is provided inside the rectangular frame. The two ends of the rubber plate 6 are bent upward from both sides of the horizontal plate 21 and fixedly connected to the male and female buckle components 7 for connecting the ears of livestock.

[0025] By rotating the locking seat 4 to open one end of the rectangular frame, the rubber plate 6 can be removed. The electronic ear tag body 1 can be removed, and the locking seat 4 on the new electronic ear tag body 1 can be rotated open to insert the rubber plate 6 into the rectangular frame. Then, the locking seat 4 can be rotated back to form a new rectangular frame, thereby fixing the new electronic ear tag body 1 onto the rubber plate 6. There is no need to disassemble and replace the male and female buckle assembly 7, which effectively avoids touching and injuring the animal's ear during disassembly.

[0026] It should be noted that the hinge assembly 3 includes a mounting groove 31 formed at the bottom of the snap-fit ​​base 4. A pair of mounting rings 32 are provided inside the mounting groove 31. The bottom of the pair of mounting rings 32 is fixedly connected to the electronic ear tag body 1. A rotating shaft 33 is inserted into the pair of mounting rings 32. The two ends of the rotating shaft 33 are fixedly connected to the snap-fit ​​base 4. A reset assembly 8 is provided on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 33. Preferably, a through hole is provided on the side of the snap-fit ​​base 4, and the rotating shaft 33 is fastened in the through hole by interference fit. The bottom right end of the snap-fit ​​base 4 is rounded so that it can be rotated to the right and laid flat. The electronic ear tag body 1 is rotated and installed on the electronic ear tag body 1 by the pair of mounting rings 32 cooperating with the rotating shaft 33.

[0027] In some embodiments, the reset assembly 8 includes a torsion spring 81 sleeved on the rotating shaft 33. The two ends of the torsion spring 81 are respectively fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 33 and the mounting ring 32. After the snap-fit ​​seat 4 on the new electronic ear tag body 1 is rotated flat and the rubber plate 6 is placed into the rectangular frame, the snap-fit ​​seat 4 is released, and the rotating shaft 33 can automatically rotate under the action of the torsion spring 81 and drive the snap-fit ​​seat 4 to reset.

[0028] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​assembly 5 includes two sets of grooves 51 on both sides of the horizontal plate 21 and a slot 52 on the top of the snap-fit ​​base 4. The horizontal plate 21 is inserted into the slot 52. A set of slots 53 is provided on the inner walls of both sides of the slot 52. Hook-shaped cantilever buckles 54 are fixedly installed inside the two sets of grooves 51. The claws 541 of the two sets of hook-shaped cantilever buckles 54 are respectively snapped into the two sets of slots 53. Button assemblies 9 are provided on both sides of the snap-fit ​​base 4. An arc-shaped groove 55 is opened at the right end of the horizontal plate 21. A support rod 56 is fixedly provided inside the slot 52 and is inserted into the arc-shaped groove 55. Preferably, the hook-shaped cantilever buckle 54 is a plastic part.

[0029] When the locking seat 4 is rotated and reset, the horizontal plate 21 is inserted into the slot 52 and the hook-shaped cantilever buckle 54 is pressed and bent so that the claw 541 is pressed into the groove 51, and the support rod 56 is inserted into the arc groove 55 to support the horizontal plate 21 and limit its vertical movement. At the same time, the groove 51 is aligned with the slot 53, the hook-shaped cantilever buckle 54 is restored and the claw 541 enters the slot 53 and locks the locking seat 4, preventing the locking seat 4 from rotating to the right and lying flat.

[0030] Furthermore, the button assembly 9 includes hidden grooves 91 on both sides of the card holder 4. Each hidden groove 91 has a set of connecting holes 92 at the bottom of the groove, which are connected to a set of card slots 53. A columnar button 93 is inserted into the inside of the connecting holes 92. The two ends of the columnar button 93 are respectively fixedly connected to a retaining ring 94 located in the hidden groove 91 and an extrusion plate 95 located in the card slot 53.

[0031] During disassembly, pinch the card holder 4 from both sides and press the two sets of columnar buttons 93 to retract it and bring the two sets of extrusion plates 95 closer together. This will cause the card claws 541 in the card slot 53 to be extruded through the extrusion plates 95, thus releasing the restriction on the card holder. Then, rotate and flatten the card holder, remove the old electronic ear tag body 1, and replace it. At the same time, when the inner end face of the extrusion plate 95 is aligned with the two side walls of the slot 52, the inner end face of the retaining ring 94 abuts against the bottom of the hidden groove 91.

[0032] For example, the male and female buckle assembly 7 includes a through hole 71 and a mounting hole 72 respectively opened on both ends of the rubber plate 6. A rod 73 is inserted into the through hole 71. A main label 74 with a width greater than that of the through hole 71 and a conical spike 75 are respectively fixedly provided at the front and rear ends of the rod 73. An auxiliary label 76 is fixedly installed inside the mounting hole 72. The rear section of the auxiliary label 76 has a snap-fit ​​hole for the conical spike 75 to pass through. The conical spike 75 is snapped into the auxiliary label 76.

[0033] During installation, align the two ends of the rubber plate 6 and clamp it on both sides of the ear. Squeeze the main label 74 and the auxiliary label 76 to bring them closer together, so that the conical spike 75 passes through the ear hole and the snap-fit ​​hole of the ear and enters the auxiliary label 76. The auxiliary label 76 then holds the conical spike 75 in place, completing the installation.

[0034] Working method: When replacing, first pinch the card holder 4 from both sides and press the two sets of columnar buttons 93 to make it retract and drive the two sets of extrusion plates 95 to come closer. Then, the extrusion plates 95 will squeeze out the claws 541 in the card slot 53, releasing the restriction on the card holder. Then, rotate and flatten the card holder, remove the rubber plate from the rectangular frame, and remove the old electronic ear tag body 1 to complete the disassembly.

[0035] Next, pinch the locking seat 4 on the new electronic ear tag body 1 from both sides and press the two sets of columnar buttons 93 to retract it inward and drive the two sets of extrusion plates 95 to move closer together. This will cause the claws 541 in the slot 53 to be extruded through the extrusion plates 95, thus releasing the restriction on the locking seat. Then, rotate and flatten the locking seat 4. Insert the rubber plate into the rectangular frame and rotate the locking seat 4 back to its original position so that the horizontal plate 21 is inserted into the slot 52 and the hook-shaped cantilever buckle 54 is pressed and bent so that the claws 541 are pressed into the groove 51. The groove 51 and the slot 53 are aligned. Then, release the two sets of columnar buttons 93. The hook-shaped cantilever buckle 54 returns to its original position and allows the claws 541 to enter the slot 53 and lock the locking seat 4, preventing the locking seat 4 from rotating to the right. The installation is now complete.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
