Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock ear tag technology, and in particular to an animal ear tag. Background Technology

[0002] Ear tags are one of the commonly used tools in livestock farming. The ear tag plate is equipped with codes, barcodes, QR codes or magnetic strips, etc., for individual identification of livestock and the establishment of breeding records. They are of great significance for livestock disease prevention and control management and subsequent product quality tracking in farms.

[0003] Currently, the following shortcomings still exist in the installation and use of animal ear tags:

[0004] 1. In the daily management of livestock, ear tags are often installed due to the need for disease prevention and control or the requirements of regulations and supply chains (such as the EU's yellow ear tags). These additional ear tags require multiple drillings in the livestock's ears for installation, which not only increases the difficulty of operation for staff, but also easily causes stress or injury to the livestock.

[0005] 2. Existing ear tags cannot be effectively clipped to both sides of the animal's ears after installation. When the animal moves, especially when shaking its head, the ear tag is very easy to shift and rotate, which not only causes discomfort and pain to the animal, but also causes the perforated area to tear in severe cases, and also makes it easy for the ear tag to fall off.

[0006] 3. After the ear tags are installed, the male and female tags will cover the punched area. This not only makes it difficult to apply medicine to the punched area, but also makes it easy for bacteria to accumulate in the punched area, which can lead to inflammation and other symptoms.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an animal ear tag that can overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0008] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model discloses an animal ear tag. This utility model can not only meet the needs of different management information or information recording of animals at the same time, but also avoid the problems of time-consuming and laborious operation when punching holes for multiple ear tags in the traditional way, which can easily cause stress or injury to animals. In addition, it can also apply medicine to the punched area, effectively avoiding symptoms such as infection, tearing or chronic pain in the animal's ear punched area.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0010] An animal ear tag includes a male plate, a marker rod, a marker head, and a female plate. The male plate has a marker rod perpendicular to the male plate, and a marker head at the end of the marker rod. The female plate has a through hole adapted to the marker rod. The marker rod passes through the through hole and is stopped and limited by the marker head at the end. A mounting plate is provided on one side of the female plate. Several identification tags are detachably mounted on the mounting plate and spaced apart along the length of the mounting plate to mark and display different information about the animal. The marker rod has an annular plate parallel to and corresponding to the female plate and can slide and adjust along the marker rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the mounting plate has several mounting rods arranged at intervals along its length. Each mounting rod has a limiting head at its end. The upper side of the sign has an extension section with mounting holes that match the mounting rods. The mounting rods pass through the mounting holes and are stopped and limited by the limiting heads.

[0012] Furthermore, a spring is fitted onto the marker rod between the male plate and the annular plate, with both ends of the spring connected to the male plate and the annular plate respectively.

[0013] Furthermore, both the annular plate and the mother plate are hollow structures and form a cavity for containing the medicine. The opposite surfaces of the annular plate and the mother plate are provided with a drug outlet for slow-release leakage of the medicine in the cavity. One side of the annular plate and the mother plate is provided with a drug injection port for injecting the medicine into the cavity.

[0014] Furthermore, the drug outlet can be a micropore, a sustained-release pore, or a semi-permeable membrane pore.

[0015] Furthermore, both the annular plate and the mother plate have accommodating cavities with support rods arranged in an orderly manner along their circumference. Several support rods divide the accommodating cavity into several compartments. Each support rod has a connecting port that connects to the adjacent compartments. Several medicine outlet holes on the opposite surfaces of the annular plate and the mother plate are connected to several compartments one by one.

[0016] Furthermore, the mother plate surface is provided with a pad plate parallel to the mother plate, the pad plate surface is provided with a through opening that corresponds to and matches the through hole, and the outer edge of the pad plate surface is provided with an annular enclosure for protecting the head.

[0017] Furthermore, an annular pad that cooperates with the limiting head and is used to limit and protect the sign can be detachably installed on the mounting rod.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: by using multiple detachable and installable tags, the needs for different management information or information recording of animals can be met at the same time, avoiding the traditional method of installing multiple ear tags on the animal's ears. This not only simplifies the installation process for staff and saves costs, but also reduces stress and harm to the animals.

[0019] By setting up springs and ring plates, the ring plates can effectively clamp the animal's ears by cooperating with the mother plate, thereby effectively preventing the subsequent installation plate and sign from rotating and ensuring the sign is installed firmly and stably.

[0020] By setting up a receiving cavity and a drug outlet, the drug solution can be applied to the puncture site of the animal's ear, thereby effectively avoiding symptoms such as infection, tearing or chronic pain at the puncture site.

[0021] By setting up support rods, the structural strength of the annular plate and the mother plate can be greatly improved, thereby ensuring a firm and stable installation.

[0022] By setting up annular pads and annular barriers, not only can the marker poles and marker heads be effectively prevented from detaching from the base plate, but also the situation of the marker heads detaching from the base plate due to wear is prevented.

[0023] This invention not only simultaneously meets the needs of managing or recording different animal information, avoiding the time-consuming and laborious operation of traditional multiple ear tag punching, which can easily cause stress or injury to animals, but also allows for the application of medication to the punched area, effectively preventing symptoms such as infection, tearing, or chronic pain in the animal's ear. This invention has a simple structure and is easy to install and use, providing convenience for animal information recording and display, reducing the operational difficulty for staff, and minimizing harm to animals.

[0031] The technical solution of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. In the description, it should be understood that if there are terms such as "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right" indicating the orientation or positional relationship, they are only corresponding to the drawings of this utility model for the convenience of describing this utility model, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation.

[0032] Please refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0033] Example 1: An animal ear tag includes a male plate 1, a marker 3, a marker head 5, and a female plate 4. The male plate 1 has a marker 3 perpendicular to it, and a marker head 5 at its end. The marker head 5 has a conical structure. The female plate 4 has a through hole 8 that fits the marker 3. The marker 3 passes through the through hole 8 and is stopped and limited by the marker head 5 at its end. A mounting plate 6 is provided on one side of the female plate 4. Several identification tags 7, spaced apart along the length of the mounting plate 6, are detachably mounted on the mounting plate 6 and used to mark and display different information about the animal. Specifically, the mounting plate 6 has several mounting rods 9 arranged in an orderly manner along the length of the mounting plate 6. The end of the mounting rod 9 has a conical limiting head 10. An extension section 12 is provided on the upper side of the identification tag 7. The mounting rod 9 is fitted with a mounting hole 11. The mounting rod 9 passes through the mounting hole 11 and is stopped and limited by the limiting head 10. Multiple identification plates 7 can be used to display and record animal identification information, epidemic prevention management information, and breeding or production data. Different identification plates 7 can be installed and removed as needed, without the need to drill holes in the animal's ears multiple times. In order to ensure that the identification plate 7 is installed firmly and stably, an annular pad 23 that cooperates with the limiting head 10 and is used to limit and protect the identification plate 7 can be detachably installed on the mounting rod 9. The annular pad 23 is installed between the limiting head 10 and the extension section 12. The outer diameter of the annular pad 23 is larger than the diameter of the mounting hole 11, thereby effectively preventing the identification plate 7 from falling off the mounting rod 9 when the animal shakes its head.

[0034] In Example 2, during the drilling and installation of the male plate 1 and female plate 4 on the animal's ear, the male plate 1 and female plate 4 are not only effectively attached to both sides of the animal's ear, but also cause the male plate 1, female plate 4, mounting plate 6, and identification plate 7 to rotate during the subsequent head shaking of the animal. This can easily lead to the separation of the male plate 1 and female plate 4 or the detachment of the identification plate 7. To address this, the rod 3 is equipped with an annular plate 2 that is parallel to and corresponds to the female plate 4 and can slide and adjust along the rod 3. Specifically, a spring 15 is sleeved on the rod 3 between the male plate 1 and the annular plate 2. The two ends of the spring 15 are connected to the male plate 1 and the annular plate 2, respectively. The elastic resistance of the spring 15 against the annular plate 2 allows the annular plate 2 and female plate 4 to be effectively attached to both sides of the animal's ear, preventing it from rotating.

[0035] In Example 3, after drilling holes in the animal's ear for installation, the drilled area cannot be accurately treated with medication due to the obstruction of the male plate 1 and female plate 4, easily leading to inflammation of the drilled area. Furthermore, the animal's head shaking can easily cause tearing of the drilled area, causing discomfort and injury. To facilitate medication treatment at the drilled area, both the annular plate 2 and the female plate 4 are hollow structures, forming a cavity 14 for holding the medication. The opposing surfaces of the annular plate 2 and the female plate 4 are each provided with features for the cavity. The medicine outlet 16 in the cavity 14 allows for slow-release leakage of the medicine solution. The medicine outlet 16 can be a micropore, a slow-release pore, or a semi-permeable membrane pore. Both the annular plate 2 and the mother plate 4 have injection ports 13 on one side for injecting medicine solution into the cavity 14. The medicine outlet 16 can be used to slowly release and leak the medicine solution to the puncture site of the animal's ear, thereby realizing the daily care operation of the puncture site. In order to facilitate the rapid and efficient application of medicine to the puncture site, the staff can also press the annular plate 2 and the mother plate 4 to accelerate the discharge of the medicine solution from the medicine outlet 16.

[0036] In Example 4, since the annular plate 2 and the mother plate 4 are hollow structures, they cannot maintain a stable clamping force when clamping the two sides of the animal's ear, which can easily cause it to rotate. Therefore, the receiving cavity 14 in the annular plate 2 and the mother plate 4 is provided with support rods 17 arranged in an orderly manner along its circumference. Several support rods 17 divide the receiving cavity 14 into several compartments 18. Each support rod 17 is provided with a connecting port 19 that connects to the adjacent compartment 18. Several medicine outlet holes 16 on the opposite surfaces of the annular plate 2 and the mother plate 4 are respectively connected to several compartments 18 one by one.

[0037] In Example 5, to prevent the marker rod 3 and marker head 5 on the male plate 1 from detaching from the female plate 4 during the animal's head-shaking process, the female plate 4 is provided with a pad 21 parallel to the female plate 4. The pad 21 is provided with a through opening 22 that corresponds to and matches the through hole 8. The pad 21 and the female plate 4 provide a double-layer limiting and blocking mechanism for the marker head 5, which effectively prevents the marker head 5 and marker rod 3 from detaching from the female plate 4. In order to prevent the marker head 5 from being exposed for a long time and causing wear, the outer edge of the pad 21 is provided with an annular barrier 20 for protecting the marker head 5.
