Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent animal husbandry technology, specifically a multifunctional collar for intelligent grazing. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional livestock grazing management models, monitoring and managing livestock often faces numerous challenges. With the development of technology, the concept of smart grazing has gradually emerged, aiming to improve grazing efficiency, ensure livestock health, and optimize pasture management through various intelligent devices. Among these devices, the collars worn by livestock are a key component, and their performance and functionality play a crucial role in the realization of smart grazing.

[0003] Currently, most livestock collars on the market are fixed structures. When livestock are young, these collars usually do not cause significant problems because they fit the animal perfectly. However, as livestock grow, their neck circumference gradually increases, while the size of the fixed collar cannot be adjusted accordingly. This results in the collar becoming increasingly tight, constricting the animal's neck. Prolonged exposure to this overly tight constriction causes intense discomfort and triggers a stress response in the livestock.

[0004] Some methods adjust the tightness of collars to ensure livestock comfort. However, this approach has significant limitations in practice. In a pasture with a large number of livestock, adjusting the collar for each animal individually would be an enormous undertaking. Herders would need to spend considerable time and energy checking and adjusting each collar, which not only increases their workload but also makes the adjustment process difficult and inefficient due to the animals' movements and resistance. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multifunctional collar for intelligent grazing, so as to solve the problems of intelligent livestock breeding technology mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a multifunctional collar for intelligent grazing, comprising a collar half-ring, both ends of which are fixedly connected to a set of elastic strips, one set of elastic strips having an elastic band one fixedly connected to the top end of one set of elastic strips, and another set of elastic strips having an elastic band two fixedly connected to the top end of the elastic band one. One end of the elastic band one is provided with a buckle device for adjusting the inner diameter of the collar, a control box is fixedly connected to the bottom of the collar half-ring, and two physiological parameter sensors are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the collar half-ring, and two alarm modules are fixedly installed on one side of the collar half-ring.

[0007] Preferably, the control box has a positioning module, a communication module, a control module, and a power module fixedly installed inside, and the positioning module, the communication module, and the power module are all electrically connected to the control module.

[0008] Preferably, both of the physiological parameter sensors are electrically connected to the control module inside the control box via wires, and both alarm modules are electrically connected to the control module inside the control box via wires.

[0009] Preferably, the first elastic band is made of rubber and the second elastic band is made of leather, and both the first elastic band and the second elastic band are fixedly connected to the two sets of limiting plates by connecting blocks.

[0010] Preferably, the buckling device includes an adjusting block, a limiting plate, a locking plate, a fixed pointed rod, a spring, a locking rod, and a limiting slider. One end of the elastic band is fixedly connected to the adjusting block. The limiting plate is fixedly connected between the inner walls of the two sides of the adjusting block, and the locking plate is rotatably connected between the inner walls of the two sides of the adjusting block corresponding to one side of the limiting plate. Multiple fixed pointed rods are fixedly connected to the bottom of the locking plate. A locking rod is movably connected to each side of the locking plate. A spring is fixedly connected to one end of each locking rod, and a limiting slider is fixedly connected to the top of each locking rod.

[0011] Preferably, the adjusting block is U-shaped, and a limiting hole is provided on both sides of the adjusting block, with one end of each of the two levers movably connected inside the two limiting holes.

[0012] Preferably, the carding plate has sliding grooves on both sides, and one end of each of the two springs is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the two sliding grooves. The outer surfaces of the two card rods are slidably connected to the two sliding grooves. The top of the carding plate has two elongated sliding grooves corresponding to the top of the two sliding grooves, and the bottom ends of the two limiting sliders are slidably connected to the two elongated sliding grooves.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. The collar's inner diameter is adjustable via elastic band one, elastic band two, and a buckle device. Elastic band one and elastic band two are made of rubber and leather respectively. Combined with the buckle device's adjusting block, limiting plate, and locking plate, the collar size can be flexibly adjusted according to the animal's body shape, ensuring a secure fit. Furthermore, during the animal's growth, the elastic band's elasticity allows the collar's tightness to adapt to different growth stages, preventing stress from being too tight or slipping off from being too loose. This eliminates the need for frequent collar adjustments, significantly improving work efficiency.

[0015] 2. Two physiological parameter sensors are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the collar semi-ring. They are electrically connected to the control module inside the control box via wires. This enables the accurate collection of livestock physiological parameter data during daily activities, providing a reliable basis for herders to understand the health status of their livestock.

[0016] 3. The positioning module, communication module and control module installed inside the control box are electrically connected, which can detect the status and location of livestock in real time, and send the data of each module to the herder's terminal device through the control module, so that the herder can keep track of the livestock dynamics at any time and realize smart grazing.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a multifunctional collar for intelligent grazing, including a collar half-ring 1. Both ends of the collar half-ring 1 are fixedly connected to a set of elastic strips 2. The top of one set of elastic strips 2 is fixedly connected to an elastic band 3, and the top of the other set of elastic strips 2 is fixedly connected to an elastic band 4. One end of the elastic band 3 is provided with a buckle device for adjusting the inner diameter of the collar. The bottom of the collar half-ring 1 is fixedly connected to a control box 5, and two physiological parameter sensors 6 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the collar half-ring 1. Two alarm modules 15 are fixedly installed on one side of the collar half-ring 1.

[0024] Furthermore, the control box 5 is internally equipped with a positioning module, a communication module, a control module, and a power supply module, and the positioning module, communication module, and power supply module are all electrically connected to the control module.

[0025] Furthermore, both physiological parameter sensors 6 are electrically connected to the control module inside the control box 5 via wires, and both alarm modules 15 are electrically connected to the control module inside the control box 5 via wires.

[0026] Furthermore, elastic band 3 is made of rubber, and elastic band 4 is made of leather. Both elastic band 3 and elastic band 4 are fixedly connected to the two sets of limiting plates 8 by connecting blocks.

[0027] Furthermore, the buckling device includes an adjusting block 7, a limiting plate 8, a locking plate 9, a fixed tip rod 10, a spring 11, a locking rod 12, and a limiting slider 13. One end of the elastic band 3 is fixedly connected to the adjusting block 7. The limiting plate 8 is fixedly connected between the inner walls of the two sides of the adjusting block 7, and the locking plate 9 is rotatably connected between the inner walls of the two sides of the adjusting block 7 corresponding to one side of the limiting plate 8. Multiple fixed tip rods 10 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the locking plate 9. A locking rod 12 is movably connected to each side of the locking plate 9. A spring 11 is fixedly connected to one end of each of the two locking rods 12, and a limiting slider 13 is fixedly connected to the top of each of the two locking rods 12.

[0028] Furthermore, the adjusting block 7 is U-shaped, and a limiting hole 14 is provided on both sides of the adjusting block 7. One end of the two locking rods 12 is movably connected to the inside of the two limiting holes 14 respectively.

[0029] Furthermore, sliding grooves are provided on both sides of the positioning plate 9, and one end of each of the two springs 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the two sliding grooves. The outer surfaces of the two locking rods 12 are slidably connected to the two sliding grooves.

[0030] In this embodiment, the collar is first fitted onto the animal. Then, one end of the elastic band 4 is passed between the limiting plate 8 and the adjusting block 7 to adjust the inner diameter of the collar, ensuring it fits securely on the animal. Next, by pushing the two limiting sliders 13 along the elongated slide rails on the locking plate 9, the two limiting sliders 13 drive the two locking rods 12 to compress the two springs 11. One end of each locking rod 12 then enters the two sliding grooves on the locking plate 9. Finally, by rotating the locking plate 9, one end of the locking plate 9 drives multiple fixed pointed rods 10 to rotate around the connection point between the locking plate 9 and the adjusting block 7. The tips of the multiple fixed pointed rods 10 then insert into the leather surface of the elastic band 4, thus securing the elastic band 4 and preventing it from protruding. The collar is first slidable to fix its size. Then, by releasing the two limiting sliders 13, the two locking rods 12, under the elastic force of the two springs 11, insert one end of each locking rod into the two limiting holes 14, thus fixing the size of the collar. Then, under the elastic force of the two sets of elastic strips 2, the inner diameter of the collar can be expanded within a certain range, so that the tightness of the collar can be guaranteed to prevent stress caused by being too tight at all stages of livestock growth, and to prevent the collar from falling off due to being too loose. Then, the physiological parameter sensor 6 accurately collects the physiological parameter data of the livestock under the daily activity state. Then, through the positioning device and communication device inside the control box 5, the status and position of the livestock can be detected in real time. At the same time, the control module can send information from each module data block to the herder's terminal device.
