Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ear tag technology in the livestock industry, and in particular to an anti-detachment and wear-resistant electronic ear tag for animals. Background Technology

[0002] In modern animal husbandry and pet management, electronic ear tags have been widely used as an efficient and reliable means of individual identification. These tags are not only used to track the location and movement paths of livestock, but also to record and transmit data on animal health, vaccination history, and other important information. Traditional electronic ear tags typically consist of a female tag and a male tag for securing the female tag. The tags are securely attached by closing the female and male tags onto the animal's ear.

[0003] However, due to animals' daily activities, such as scratching, rubbing, or biting, electronic ear tags are prone to falling off their ears. Once a tag is lost, it becomes impossible to accurately track and manage the animal's information, increasing management difficulty and costs. On the other hand, electronic tags are easily worn down, damaging the internal components and leading to data reading failures or communication interruptions. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the issues of existing electronic tags being prone to detachment and damage.

[0005] This utility model provides a wear-resistant and detachable electronic ear tag for animals, including a main tag and a secondary tag. The main tag includes a base, a connecting post, and a tag head. The secondary tag includes a first component and a second component. The first component includes a first convex ring with a flat plate at its bottom. The outer surface of the first convex ring is a first arc surface, and the thickness of the first convex ring gradually increases along the side closest to the flat plate. The outer surface of the flat plate is a second arc surface. A first waterproof step is provided on the outer bottom of the first component, and a second waterproof step is provided on the outer top of the second component. The first and second waterproof steps are engaged and connected. The bottom center has a second convex ring and a first annular groove, and the top center of the second component has a second annular groove and a third convex ring. The second convex ring is engaged in the second annular groove, and the third convex ring is engaged in the first annular groove. A cavity is provided between the first component and the second component, and the cavity contains an electrically connected power supply and circuit board. The first component has a first through hole, and the second component has a second through hole, which is connected to the first through hole. The second through hole is conical. The second component has a retaining ring, which is located at the top of the second through hole. The top diameter of the connecting post is larger than the inner diameter of the retaining ring.

[0006] Preferably, the angle between the first convex ring and the plate is 100°~120°.

[0007] Preferably, the base and the connecting post are an integral structure, the label is snapped onto the top of the connecting post, the base and the connecting post are made of TPU, and the label is made of aluminum, stainless steel or copper.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the second component is provided with a boss.

[0009] Preferably, the circuit board includes a microcontroller, a wireless communication module electrically connected to the microcontroller, and a temperature sensor.

[0010] Preferably, the wireless communication module is one of RFID, Bluetooth, LoRa or NFC.

[0011] Preferably, the circuit board also includes a storage unit, and the storage unit is electrically connected to the microcontroller.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: by setting a first and second waterproof step, moisture is prevented from entering the power supply and circuit board; by setting a first and second arc surface, the direct impact force between external objects and the sub-tag is reduced. When the sub-tag is subjected to collision or friction, the smooth surface can guide the external force along the arc surface, thereby reducing the risk of damage caused by local stress concentration; the design of the second convex ring being engaged in the second annular groove and the third convex ring being engaged in the first annular groove forms a "locking" mechanism, enhancing the connection strength between the first and second components, making the animal electronic ear tag less prone to loosening or separation even under vigorous movement. The conical design of the second through hole, coupled with the retaining ring at the top of the second through hole, restricts the movement range of the connecting post, ensuring that once the main tag and sub-tag are installed, the connecting post is difficult to pull out, thereby reducing the possibility of the animal electronic ear tag falling off. This solves the problems of existing electronic tags being easy to fall off and easily damaged. Attached Figure Description

[0020] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "center", "top", "bottom", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "inner side", "outer side", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0021] Reference Figures 1-5A wear-resistant and non-detachable electronic animal ear tag includes a main tag 1 and a secondary tag 2. The main tag 1 includes a base 11, a connecting post 12, and a tag head 13. The secondary tag 2 includes a first component 21 and a second component 22. The first component 21 includes a first protruding ring 211, a flat plate 212 at the bottom of the first protruding ring 211, a first arc surface 213 on the outer side of the first protruding ring 211, and the thickness of the first protruding ring 211 gradually increases along the side close to the flat plate 212. The outer side of the flat plate 212 is a second arc surface 214. A first waterproof step 215 is provided on the outer bottom of the first component 21, and a second waterproof step 221 is provided on the outer top of the second component 22. The first waterproof step 215 and the second waterproof step 221 are engaged and connected. A second waterproof step 221 is provided at the middle of the bottom of the first component 21. The second component 22 has a second annular groove 222 and a third convex ring 223 at the top center. The second convex ring 216 is engaged in the second annular groove 222, and the third convex ring 223 is engaged in the first annular groove 217. A cavity 23 is provided between the first component 21 and the second component 22. The cavity 23 contains an electrically connected power supply 3 and a circuit board 4. The first component 21 has a first through hole 218, and the second component 22 has a second through hole 224. The second through hole 224 and the first through hole 218 are connected. The second through hole 224 is conical. The second component 22 has a retaining ring 225, which is located at the top of the second through hole 224. The top diameter of the connecting post 12 is larger than the inner diameter of the retaining ring 225.

[0022] By setting a first waterproof step 215 and a second waterproof step 221, moisture is prevented from entering the power supply 3 and circuit board 4. By setting a first arc surface 213 and a second arc surface 214, the direct impact force between external objects and the sub-tag 2 is reduced. When the sub-tag 2 is subjected to collision or friction, the smooth surface can guide the external force to be dispersed along the arc surface, thereby reducing the risk of damage caused by local stress concentration. The design of the second convex ring 216 being engaged in the second annular groove 222 and the third convex ring 223 being engaged in the first annular groove 217 forms a "locking" mechanism, which enhances the connection strength between the first component 21 and the second component 22, making the animal electronic ear tag not easy to loosen or separate even under violent movement. The conical design of the second through hole 224, together with the retaining ring 225 at the top of the second through hole 224, restricts the range of movement of the connecting post 12, ensuring that once the main tag 1 and the sub-tag 2 are installed, the connecting post 12 is difficult to pull out, thereby reducing the possibility of the animal electronic ear tag falling off. This solves the problem of existing electronic tags being easy to fall off and easily damaged.

[0023] In some embodiments, the included angle between the first convex ring 211 and the plate 212 is 100° to 120°.

[0024] Reference Figure 3In the diagram, angle θ represents the angle between the first convex ring 211 and the plate 212. The design of this angle range provides sufficient support, making the connection between the first convex ring 211 and the plate 212 more stable. Even under lateral force, it is not prone to deformation or breakage. Compared to the conventional 90 degrees, it can better absorb and disperse impact forces, reducing the risk of damage caused by high pressure.

[0025] In some implementations, refer to Figure 4 The base 11 and the connecting post 12 are an integral structure, and the label 13 is snapped on the top of the connecting post 12. The base 11 and the connecting post 12 are made of TPU, and the label 13 is made of aluminum, stainless steel or copper.

[0026] The integral molding of the base 11 and connecting post 12 enhances the overall mechanical strength and durability. TPU is a material that combines elasticity and strength, providing good abrasion resistance and tear resistance while maintaining flexibility. This allows the main tag 1 to withstand tensile and bending stresses during animal activity without easily being damaged. Aluminum, stainless steel, or copper provide higher mechanical strength, ensuring that the tag head 13 is not easily deformed or damaged when subjected to external impacts, allowing the main tag 1 to smoothly pass through the animal's ear and engage with the secondary tag 2.

[0027] In some implementations, refer to Figure 4 The bottom of the second component 22 is provided with a boss 226.

[0028] The process of inserting an electronic ear tag into an animal requires the assistance of ear tag fixing pliers. The protrusion 226 facilitates the fixing of the sub-tag 2 by the ear tag fixing pliers.

[0029] In some implementations, refer to Figure 5 The circuit board 4 includes a microcontroller 41, a wireless communication module 42 electrically connected to the microcontroller 41, and a temperature sensor 43.

[0030] The microcontroller 41 is responsible for receiving data from the temperature sensor 43, performing preset logic operations, managing the operation of the wireless communication module 42, and sending instructions or data as needed. The wireless communication module 42 enables the ear tag to communicate long distances with a base station or terminal, transmitting the collected temperature data and other information about the animal in real time for easy monitoring and management. The temperature sensor 43 is used to monitor the temperature of the animal's body surface to better understand the animal's health status.

[0031] Preferably, the wireless communication module 42 is one of RFID, Bluetooth, LoRa or NFC.

[0032] A further preferred wireless communication module 42 is RFID, which is suitable for scenarios requiring short-range, rapid identification, such as automatic identification systems at farm entrances. When an animal passes the reader, the RFID tag is activated and sends information.

[0033] Preferred, refer to Figure 5 The circuit board 4 also includes a storage unit 44, which is electrically connected to the microcontroller 41.

[0034] The storage unit 44 is used to cache the data collected from the temperature sensor 43. When wireless communication is temporarily unavailable, the storage unit 44 can save the unsent data and continue to transmit it after communication is restored, thus avoiding data loss.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
