Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wildlife monitoring technology, and more specifically, to a wildlife monitoring device. Background Technology

[0002] Wildlife monitoring devices are crucial tools for ecological research, species conservation, and behavioral analysis, widely used for tracking animal migration routes, monitoring physiological indicators, and assessing habitat quality. Current technologies primarily employ combinations of satellite positioning (such as GPS), biosensors, infrared cameras, and wireless transmission modules, using wearable or implantable devices to collect data. For example, collar-type locators record animal location information, subcutaneous sensors monitor physiological data such as body temperature and heart rate, while lightweight cameras capture behavioral images. These technologies significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of wildlife research, providing critical data support for the protection of endangered species and the development of ecological conservation policies.

[0003] However, existing monitoring devices are prone to separation from animals during long-term field use, leading to data interruption or equipment loss. The main causes of separation include: inadequate fixture design, such as collars that are too tight or too loose causing discomfort and escape; poor weather resistance of adhesive materials, making them prone to detachment in damp or muddy environments; and a mismatch between the device's weight and the animal's size, such as small animals being restricted in movement or even injured by carrying excessively heavy equipment. Furthermore, animal fights, scratching branches or rocks, and other behaviors can directly damage the device's fixture structure. Separation problems not only result in missing research data but also increase the cost of equipment recovery and maintenance, limiting the practical application effectiveness of monitoring technology.

[0004] Therefore, we have made improvements to this and proposed a wildlife monitoring device. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model provides a wildlife monitoring device to improve the aforementioned problems.

[0006] The application is as follows:

[0007] include:

[0008] The semicircular rings are arranged opposite each other to form a circle with their end faces touching, and there are gaps on their end faces to allow the semicircular rings to be inserted into the animal ears.

[0009] A double-layer rotating shaft is provided at one of the adjacent ports of the two semicircular rings, so that the two semicircular rings can control the opening and closing state of the other port of the two semicircular rings by rotating the double-layer rotating shaft.

[0010] Straight rods are symmetrically arranged on the semicircular ring, with a spacing between them equal to the opening of the semicircular ring.

[0011] The clamp is rotatably mounted on the straight rod and extends outward in an arc shape with the circular surface of a semi-circular ring:

[0012] The curved surface is formed by the straight rod, creating an arc that moves away from the ear surface.

[0013] It also includes: an elastic element disposed between adjacent elastic elements to restrict the opening and closing of the semicircular ring;

[0014] A long rod is mounted on the semicircular ring and extends toward the center of the semicircular ring;

[0015] The monitor is flexibly mounted at the end of the long rod and contacts the curved surface.

[0016] When the animal moves and sways back and forth in the direction of gravity, the monitor squeezes the clamp to make the curved surface fit against the ear, limiting the surface displacement of the semicircular ring on the ear.

[0017] Preferred options also include:

[0018] Friction pads are provided on both sides of the opening of the semicircular ring to limit the lateral movement of the ear-clamping side of the semicircular ring on the ear surface.

[0019] Preferably, the elastic element is a threaded spring, and the elastic element is disposed on a clamping plate away from the friction pad.

[0020] Preferably, the clamp has a notch that gradually narrows in the direction of hair growth on the side that contacts the ear.

[0021] Preferably, the elasticity between the long rod and the monitor is set as a connecting spring, and the monitor has a cavity that is arranged around the periphery of the connecting spring.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0023] In the scheme of this application:

[0024] To address the problem that existing wildlife monitoring devices are prone to falling off or causing severe discomfort to animals during vigorous movement, this application employs a friction pad to limit the device's lateral movement around the ear, an elastic element away from the friction pad to provide stable clamping force, a notch on the clamp that narrows along the hair to increase hair pulling, and an elastic connection structure with a protective cavity between the monitor and the long rod. These features enable the device to adapt to changes in ear shape during animal activity and effectively buffer external impacts, thereby significantly improving wearing stability and animal adaptability.

[0030] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention 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 invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0031] For an example, please refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A wildlife monitoring device, comprising:

[0032] Semicircular ring 1 is arranged opposite each other to form a circle with its end faces touching, and there are gaps on its end faces to allow the semicircular ring 1 to be inserted into the animal ear;

[0033] A double-layer rotating shaft 2 is set at one of the adjacent ports of the two semicircular rings 1, so that the two semicircular rings 1 can control the opening and closing state of the other port of the two semicircular rings 1 by rotating the double-layer rotating shaft 2.

[0034] Straight rods 3 are symmetrically arranged on the semicircular ring 1, with a spacing between them equal to the opening of the semicircular ring 1;

[0035] Clamping plate 4 is rotatably mounted on straight rod 3 and extends outward in an arc shape with the circular surface of semi-circular ring 1 as the base.

[0036] Arc 42, formed from the straight rod 3, forms an arc away from the ear surface;

[0037] It also includes: elastic element 41, disposed between adjacent elastic elements 41 to restrict the opening and closing of the semicircular ring 1;

[0038] Long rod 5 is set on semicircular ring 1 and extends toward the center of semicircular ring 1;

[0039] Monitor 6 is flexibly positioned at the end of the long rod 5 and in contact with the arc surface 42;

[0040] When the animal moves and produces a reciprocating sway in the direction of gravity, the monitor 6 squeezes the clamp 4 to make the arc surface 42 fit against the ear and restrict the surface displacement of the semicircular ring 1 on the ear.

[0041] During the use of the device, the semicircular ring 1 needs to be placed on the ear of the wild animal to achieve the monitoring effect. The semicircular ring 1 passes through the edge of the animal ear through the opening between the two semicircular rings 1, and the friction pad 7 is clamped on the upper and lower surfaces of the animal ear. At this time, the elastic element 41 provides elasticity, so that the semicircular ring 1 tends to move closer to each other and is fixed to a point on the animal ear by the friction pad 7. At the same time, the clamping plate 4 floats on both sides of the ear surface.

[0042] Because animals dislike having foreign objects on their bodies, they will shake or run to remove them from their bodies. During the running process, the semi-circular ring 1 will rotate around the friction pad 7 and shift. During this process, because the elastic element 41 is eccentrically set, the pre-tightening force on the semi-circular ring 1 is stronger, and the weight on the side with the elastic element 41 is greater, making it easier for the semi-circular ring 1 to rotate around the friction pad 7 rather than shift in other ways.

[0043] During the offset rotation, the arc surface 42 of the clamp 4 contacts the irregular ear surface of the animal ear, making it more difficult for the clamp 4 to offset from the contact surface of the animal ear. If offset occurs, due to the narrowing notch on the clamp 4, when too much hair passes through the notch, the hair will get stuck with the notch, causing the offset process to end and the semicircular ring 1 to return to rest.

[0044] Meanwhile, since the monitor 6 is in contact with the convex surface of the clamping plate 4, the clamping plate 4 will make oblique contact with the monitor 6 during the movement, which reduces the impact of shaking on the monitor 6. At the same time, the monitor 6 provides a reverse force to the clamping plate 4 through its own gravity, which reduces the offset of the clamping plate 4.

[0045] Also includes:

[0046] Friction pads 7 are provided on both sides of the opening of the semicircular ring 1 to limit the lateral movement of the ear clamping side of the semicircular ring 1 on the ear surface.

[0047] It effectively prevents the device from sliding left and right on the ear due to movement or external force during wear, ensuring stable device positioning and improving wearing comfort and reliability.

[0048] The elastic element 41 is a threaded spring, and the elastic element 41 is disposed on the clamping plate 4 away from the friction pad 7.

[0049] The side of the clamp 4 that contacts the ear surface has a notch that gradually narrows in the direction of the hair.

[0050] The elasticity between the long rod 5 and the monitor 6 is set as a connecting spring 65, and the monitor 6 has a cavity that is arranged around the periphery of the connecting spring 65 to prevent the connecting spring 65 from clamping the hair and causing discomfort to the animal.

[0051] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
