Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of body temperature monitoring tools, specifically to a veterinary continuous body temperature monitoring device that can be fixed to the surface of an animal's body. Background Technology

[0002] In veterinary clinical diagnosis and treatment and livestock and poultry breeding, body temperature is a core indicator of animal health status. Its continuous and accurate monitoring is crucial for early disease diagnosis (such as swine fever and canine distemper), postoperative recovery assessment and stress response judgment. When performing body temperature monitoring, corresponding monitoring devices are usually required. Traditional monitoring methods mainly rely on manual periodic use of thermometers for measurement. This type of operation is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also has a large workload, causing inconvenience to users.

[0003] Existing animal body temperature monitoring devices mostly use collar attachment or tape attachment. Collar attachment is prone to sensor displacement due to animal swinging and friction, making it impossible to adhere tightly to the body surface and causing measurement errors. Although tape attachment can fix the device in place for a short period of time, animal hair and skin oil secretion can easily cause the tape to fall off. Furthermore, long-term use can easily cause skin allergies and hair adhesion, making it particularly unsuitable for long-haired animals or young animals, resulting in a continuous monitoring interruption rate of over 40%.

[0004] Furthermore, existing devices are mostly designed in a single size, which cannot be adapted to animals of different body sizes. If the device is too tight, it can obstruct blood circulation in the animal; if it is too loose, it can easily fall off. In view of this, we propose a veterinary continuous body temperature monitoring device that can be fixed to the animal's body surface. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a veterinary continuous body temperature monitoring device that can be fixed to the surface of an animal's body, so as to solve the defects mentioned in the background art.

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

[0007] A veterinary continuous body temperature monitoring device that can be fixed to the surface of an animal includes a detection box. A patch-type temperature sensor is detachably installed on the bottom surface of the detection box. A control host is detachably installed inside the detection box and is equipped with a charging power supply. A top cover is detachably installed on the top surface of the detection box, and a display screen and a switch button are provided on the surface of the top cover. Both ends of the detection box are provided with fixing straps. One fixing strap is provided with a loose hook and loop fastener, and the other fixing strap is provided with a barbed hook and loop fastener. The loose hook and loop fasteners are bonded together. Silicone bonding pads are fixedly installed at both ends of the bottom surface of the detection box.

[0008] Preferably, an inner mounting base plate is integrally formed on the inner wall of the detection box, and the control host is detachably mounted on the upper surface of the inner mounting base plate.

[0009] Preferably, a central hole is provided at the center of the inner assembly base plate, and the control host is located directly above the central hole.

[0010] Preferably, a plurality of heat dissipation fins are fixedly installed on one side plate of the detection box, and the two ends of the heat dissipation fins extend to the inner and outer sides of the detection box, respectively.

[0011] This setting allows for heat dissipation using heat sink fins.

[0012] Preferably, end tubes are fixedly installed at both ends of the detection box, and the end of the fixing strap is fixedly installed on the end tubes.

[0013] Preferably, a heat sink is integrally formed on the upper cover plate, and the thickness of the heat sink is between 1mm and 3mm;

[0014] This setting can further improve the heat dissipation effect inside the test box.

[0015] Preferably, a rectangular hole is provided on the bottom plate of the detection box, and the patch-type temperature sensor is disposed in the rectangular hole.

[0016] Preferably, the rectangular hole has an inner groove on its groove wall, and the patch temperature sensor is fixedly mounted with a fixing support, which is detachably installed in the inner groove.

[0017] The above two settings facilitate the installation and removal of surface-mount temperature sensors.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] 1. This utility model uses a patch-type temperature sensor at the bottom of the detection box, an internal control host, and a display screen on the top cover. The patch-type sensor continuously collects the animal's body surface temperature, and the data is processed by the control host and displayed on the display screen in real time. This replaces the traditional method of manually measuring the body temperature periodically with a thermometer, realizing the function of automatic and continuous monitoring of animal body temperature and real-time data viewing. It avoids the problems of time-consuming, labor-intensive, and large workload of manual operation, and achieves the effect of reducing the burden on users and timely capturing body temperature fluctuations.

[0020] 2. This utility model features a detection box with fixed straps at both ends, Velcro with rough and barbed surfaces, and a silicone adhesive pad on the bottom. The Velcro allows for flexible adjustment of the tightness of the fixed straps to accommodate animals of different sizes. The silicone adhesive pad enhances the fit between the detection box and the animal's body surface, replacing traditional collar hanging or tape pasting methods. This achieves stable fixation of the device without damaging the animal's skin, avoiding sensor displacement, tape detachment, and skin allergies. It also reduces the rate of interruption in continuous monitoring and improves the animal's tolerance to wearing the device. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0032] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a veterinary continuous body temperature monitoring device that can be fixed to the animal's body surface, including a detection box 1. A patch temperature sensor 41 is detachably installed on the bottom surface of the detection box 1. A rectangular hole 4 is provided on the bottom plate of the detection box 1. The patch temperature sensor 41 is located in the rectangular hole 4. An inner groove 40 is provided on the groove wall of the rectangular hole 4. A fixing support 42 is fixedly installed on the patch temperature sensor 41. The fixing support 42 is detachably installed in the inner groove 40 by fastening screws, so that the patch temperature sensor 41 is stably fixed in the rectangular hole 4 and closely attached to the animal's body surface. This not only ensures the accuracy of temperature acquisition, but also facilitates the later installation, removal and replacement of the sensor, avoiding the cumbersome disassembly and assembly problems of traditional sensors and reducing maintenance difficulty.

[0033] In this embodiment, a control host 11 is detachably installed inside the detection box 1. A charging power supply 12 is provided on the control host 11. The charging power supply 12 can provide continuous power support for the device, avoiding the trouble of frequent battery replacements in traditional devices and extending the single monitoring time. An inner mounting base plate 10 is integrally formed on the inner wall of the detection box 1. The control host 11 is detachably installed on the upper surface of the inner mounting base plate 10. A central hole 101 is provided at the center of the inner mounting base plate 10. The control host 11 is located directly above the central hole 101. The central hole 101 provides space below the control host 11, reducing the pressure of the internal structure of the detection box 1 on the control host 11. At the same time, it facilitates the installation and removal of the control host 11, making it convenient for later maintenance or replacement of the charging power supply 12, and ensuring long-term stable operation of the equipment.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, a top cover 2 is detachably installed on the top surface of the detection box 1. A display screen 20 is provided on the surface of the top cover 2, and a switch button 21 is also provided on the top cover 2. The display screen 20 can display body temperature data in real time, which is convenient for users to view intuitively. The switch button 21 facilitates quick start or stop of the device, simplifies the operation process, and improves the ease of use.

[0035] Specifically, both ends of the detection box 1 are equipped with fixing straps 15. One fixing strap 15 is equipped with a hook and loop fastener 151, and the other fixing strap 15 is equipped with a hook and loop fastener 16. The hook and loop fastener 151 and the hook and loop fastener 16 are bonded together to achieve reasonable wearing operation as needed. Silicone bonding pads 3 are fixedly installed at both ends of the bottom surface of the detection box 1. The silicone bonding pads 3 are soft and have a certain degree of adhesion, so that the bottom surface of the detection box 1 fits tightly against the animal's body surface, reducing the interference of ambient temperature on the patch-type temperature sensor 41, while avoiding the hard edges of the detection box 1 from scratching the animal's skin, reducing the risk of skin allergies, and improving the animal's wearing tolerance.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, multiple heat dissipation fins 13 are fixedly installed on one side plate of the detection box 1. The two ends of the heat dissipation fins 13 extend to the inner and outer sides of the detection box 1 respectively, accelerating the conduction of internal heat to the outside. A heat dissipation fin 22 is integrally formed on the upper cover plate 2. The thickness of the heat dissipation fin 22 is between 1mm and 3mm. The 1mm to 3mm thick heat dissipation fin 22 further expands the heat dissipation area, avoids the performance degradation of the control host 11 due to high temperature when it is working, and ensures the stable output of body temperature monitoring data.

[0037] It is worth noting that both ends of the detection box 1 are fixedly installed with end tubes 14, and the ends of the fixing straps 15 are fixedly installed on the end tubes 14, so that the fixing straps 15 are firmly connected to the detection box 1, preventing the fixing straps 15 from falling off when the animal moves. At the same time, the end tubes 14 can distribute the tension of the fixing straps 15, preventing the ends of the detection box 1 from being damaged due to excessive force, and extending the service life of the device.

[0038] It is worth noting that the charging power supply 12 provides core power. When the switch button 21 is pressed, the control host 11 triggers its power supply circuit and receives power feedback. When the power is low, the display screen 20 will provide a prompt. The patch-type temperature sensor 41 is attached to the animal's body surface and transmits the measurement data to the control host 11. The control host 11 uses an algorithm to convert the digital signal into intuitive temperature data and present it on the display screen 20 to achieve continuous monitoring.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the surface-mount temperature sensor 41, control host 11, charging power supply 12, display screen 20, switch button 21, corresponding driver program and control system of this utility model are all general standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principle can be known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. In the idle space of this device, all the above-mentioned electrical components, which refer to power elements, electrical components and the matching controller and power supply, are connected by wires. The specific connection method should refer to the working principle of this utility model. The electrical connection between each electrical component is completed in the order of operation. The detailed connection method is a technology known in the art.

[0040] When using the veterinary continuous body temperature monitoring device that can be fixed to the animal's body surface, the bottom surface of the detection box 1 is attached to the animal's body surface. When attaching, the animal's hair can be parted appropriately so that the patch-type temperature sensor 41 can better adhere to the skin. Pull the two fixing straps 15 around the animal's limbs, adjust the tightness, and then use the hook and loop fasteners 151 and the barbed hook and loop fasteners 16 to fix it, avoiding being too tight or too loose.

[0041] Pressing the switch button 21 triggers the charging power supply 12 to supply power to the host 11; the patch temperature sensor 41 collects body temperature data and transmits it to the host 11. After processing by the host, the real-time temperature is displayed on the display screen 20. The heat dissipation fins 13 on the side plate of the detection box 1 and the heat dissipation fins 22 on the top cover 2 dissipate heat synchronously.

[0042] After monitoring is complete, unfasten the Velcro and remove the device, then press and hold the power button 21 to turn off the device.

[0043] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
