[0028] 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.

[0029] As mentioned in the background section, current RFID electronic ear tags are heavy and bulky. The separate male and female tags are inconvenient to install, and they increase the discomfort for animals when wearing them, as well as the amount of plastic material used, and also increase the costs of handling and logistics.

[0030] To solve this technical problem, this utility model provides a novel RFID ear tag, which is applied to electronic ear tags.

[0031] For details, please refer to Figures 1-3 The new RFID ear tags specifically include:

[0032] The ear tag male base body 1, the ear tag female base body 2, and the flexible connecting piece 3 are located between the ear tag male base body 1 and the ear tag female base body 2. The ear tag male base body 1, the ear tag female base body 2, and the flexible connecting piece 3 are integrally set.

[0033] The female ear tag body 2 is provided with a male ear tag fastening component 4, and the male ear tag body 1 is provided with a female ear tag fastening groove 5. The female ear tag body 2 is fastened and connected to the female ear tag fastening groove 5 on the male ear tag body 1 through the male ear tag fastening component 4.

[0034] An electronic component mounting shell 6 is embedded in the male ear tag holder body 1. A limiting structure 7 is provided on the side of the male ear tag holder body 1 for limiting the installation of the electronic component mounting shell 6.

[0035] The novel RFID ear tag provided by this utility model, through the flexible connecting piece 3, enables the ear tag male body 1 and ear tag female body 2 to have good flexibility and bendability, which greatly simplifies the ear tag installation process. Operators can easily attach the ear tag to the animal's ear without complicated operations, effectively improving installation efficiency and reducing installation difficulty and time costs. Especially in large-scale breeding scenarios, it can significantly save manpower and time and improve the overall breeding management efficiency.

[0036] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] Example 1:

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1-3 A new type of RFID ear tag, comprising:

[0039] The eartag consists of a male eartag body 1, a female eartag body 2, and a flexible connecting piece 3. The flexible connecting piece 3 is located between the male eartag body 1 and the female eartag body 2. The flexible connecting piece 3 is situated at a crucial position between the male eartag body 1 and the female eartag body 2, and its thickness is relatively small. This unique design gives the flexible connecting piece 3 good flexibility and bendability. The male eartag body 1, female eartag body 2, and flexible connecting piece 3 are integrated into one unit. This integrated structure not only enhances the overall stability and robustness of the eartag and reduces the risk of failure due to loose parts, but also simplifies the manufacturing process and reduces production costs.

[0040] Furthermore, the female ear tag body 2 is provided with a male fastening component 4, and the male ear tag body 1 is provided with a female fastening groove 5. The female ear tag body 2 is fastened and connected to the female ear tag body 1 through the male fastening component 4 and the female ear tag body 1 through the fastening groove 5. It is precisely because the flexible connecting piece 3 can be bent that the male ear tag body 1 and the female ear tag body 2 can be fastened tightly through the male fastening component 4 and the female ear tag body 1. This fastening connection method is easy to operate. Just align the male fastening component 4 on the female ear tag body 2 with the female ear tag body 1 through the fastening groove 5 and apply a certain pressure to achieve quick fastening, which is convenient for the installation and removal of ear tags in actual use.

[0041] Furthermore, an electronic component mounting shell 6 is embedded in the ear tag male base body 1. An RFID module is installed inside the electronic component mounting shell 6. As a key component for ear tag information identification and transmission, the RFID module is embedded in the electronic component mounting shell 6 and then placed inside the ear tag male base body 1. This effectively protects the RFID module from interference and damage from the external environment, such as collisions and moisture, ensuring its stable and reliable operation. A limiting structure 7 is provided on the side of the ear tag male base body 1 for limiting the installation of the electronic component mounting shell 6.

[0042] Furthermore, to better accommodate and secure the electronic component mounting shell 6, a placement cavity is provided on the inner side of the ear tag holder body 1. An opening is provided on the side of the placement cavity, and the electronic component mounting shell 6 is located inside the placement cavity. A limiting structure 7 is positioned at the opening to limit its movement, thereby indirectly ensuring the stability of the electronic component mounting shell 6 within the placement cavity. Positioning blocks 8 are fixedly connected to both ends of the placement cavity, and mounting shell insertion holes 9 are provided at both ends of the electronic component mounting shell 6. The electronic component mounting shell 6 is connected to the positioning blocks 8 via the mounting shell insertion holes 9 at its ends. This insertion connection method is simple and reliable, enabling the electronic component mounting shell 6 to be quickly and accurately installed into the placement cavity, and providing a certain fixing force after installation to prevent the electronic component mounting shell 6 from easily falling off.

[0043] Specifically, the limiting structure 7 includes limiting support blocks 10 and elastic sleeves 11. There are two limiting support blocks 10, which are fixed at both ends of the opening. The two ends of the elastic sleeves 11 are respectively fitted and connected to the two limiting support blocks 10. Through this fitting connection, the elastic sleeves 11 can be tightly fixed between the two limiting support blocks 10, effectively sealing the opening and providing good limiting and protection for the electronic component mounting housing 6 inside the cavity. When it is necessary to open the opening to operate on the electronic component mounting housing 6, simply remove the elastic sleeves 11 from the limiting support blocks 10; the operation is simple and easy.

[0044] Example 2:

[0045] The only difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 above is the structure of the limiting structure 7. Specifically, as shown below... Figure 4 As shown, the limiting structure 7 in this embodiment includes a limiting connecting rod 12 and a limiting screw 13. Both ends of the limiting connecting rod 12 are rotatably connected to the limiting screw 13, and the two limiting screws 13 are threaded to both ends of the opening respectively.

[0046] Through the above structural design, a secure connection between the limiting screw 13 and both ends of the opening can be achieved via a threaded connection. When the limiting structure 7 needs to be installed, simply rotate the limiting screw 13 until it is tightly engaged with both ends of the opening; when the limiting structure 7 needs to be disassembled, simply rotate the limiting screw 13 in the opposite direction to remove it. This design ensures both a secure connection and improved ease of use, facilitating the maintenance and replacement of the electronic component mounting housing 6 inside the cavity.

[0047] Example 3:

[0048] The novel RFID ear tag provided in Embodiment 1 has been further optimized, specifically, as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the male ear tag holder fastener 4 includes a fastener base 14, the lower end of which is inserted into the ear tag holder body 1. This insertion connection method can quickly achieve the initial positioning and connection between the fastener base 14 and the ear tag holder body 1, facilitating subsequent fixing operations. During the insertion process, simply align the lower end of the fastener base 14 with the corresponding insertion hole on the ear tag holder body 1 and gently insert it to complete the initial connection; the operation is simple and quick.

[0049] The upper end of the fastening base 14 is provided with a fastening protrusion 15, and the fastening base 14 is provided with a break groove 16 near the fastening protrusion 15. The ear tag male body 1 is provided with a connecting fixing screw 17 on the side away from the fastening base 14. One end of the connecting fixing screw 17 passes through the ear tag male body 1 and the interior of the fastening base 14 and extends to the inside of the fastening protrusion 15. The connecting fixing screw 17 is threadedly connected to the fastening base 14 and the fastening protrusion 15.

[0050] This unique design greatly facilitates the removal of the ear tag. When it is necessary to remove the ear tag, first remove the end of the connecting fixing screw 17 from the fastening protrusion 15. Since the connecting fixing screw 17 originally served to support the connection between the fastening base 14 and the fastening protrusion 15, after it is removed, the connection between the fastening base 14 and the fastening protrusion 15 loses support. At this time, only appropriate external force needs to be applied to break the fastening protrusion 15 along the breakage groove 16. Once the fastening protrusion 15 is broken, the connection structure between the male fastening component 4 and the female fastening groove 5 is destroyed, thereby enabling the separation of the male fastening component 4 and the female fastening groove 5.
