Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an animal ear tag, specifically a multifunctional animal ear tag. Background Technology

[0002] Animal ear tags are tools used for identifying and managing animals, and are widely used in animal husbandry, pet management, and laboratory animal research. Animal ear tags include electronic tags with only RFID, primarily used for marking and identifying animal identities; and RFID electronic animal ear tags with ear tag circuitry, which use radio frequency identification technology for long-distance reading, used for monitoring animal temperature, ambient temperature, etc., and are suitable for smart farms.

[0003] The applicant's prior utility model patent No. 201822026579.5 discloses a multifunctional animal ear tag with quick-penetration, graded positioning, and exposed wound. The ear tag includes a main tag, a secondary tag, an ultra-high frequency RFID chip, a half-duplex ultra-low frequency RFID chip, an ambient temperature sensor, and an animal body temperature sensor. The main tag includes a main tag shell and a main tag cover. A graded positioning pin is provided on the outer edge of the main tag shell, ensuring that the animal's ear wound is exposed as much as possible for ventilation when the quick-penetration pin passes through. The secondary tag includes a secondary tag shell with a secondary tag graded positioning pin hole and a quick-penetration pin protection post. The quick-penetration pin passes through the main tag graded positioning pin post and the secondary tag graded positioning pin hole, aligns with the bearing clip, and is inserted into the quick-penetration pin protection post for secure locking. This patent integrates an electronic tag for identification and an animal temperature monitoring function into one unit. Because the identification electronic tag and ear tag circuitry are integrated, the ear tag can only be used once and cannot be reused, which is a waste of the animal temperature detection function.

[0004] The applicant's prior utility model patent No. 202121049708.8 discloses a multifunctional animal ear tag with exposed double nail wounds, comprising: a main tag and a secondary tag; two quick-penetration grading and positioning needles connecting the main tag and the secondary tag; a quick-penetration grading and positioning needle sleeve covering the quick-penetration grading and positioning needles; a main tag post on the main tag; and a secondary tag post on the secondary tag; the quick-penetration grading and positioning needles pass through the main tag post and the secondary tag post and are fixed together; the double-nail ear tag uses a hollow design in the middle. Its improvement lies in reducing the number of quick-penetration grading and positioning needles from three to two, thus reducing the tag's volume. Simultaneously, the main tag contains an animal temperature sensor, a motion sensor, and a high-frequency RFID detection and receiving module. It is mainly suitable for monitoring and managing animal movement and temperature. Because the connection between the quick-release positioning pin and the main tag is located on the main tag itself, removing the ear tag will damage the main tag, resulting in the ear tag being completely discarded and unable to be recycled, thus causing waste. Therefore, if the main tag of the ear tag could be recycled and its initial parameters reset, it could be reused, which would reduce costs and prevent excessive plastic electronic waste from being generated from discarded ear tags.

[0005] For animals whose health conditions, such as movement and temperature, need to be monitored, an RFID tag is required for identification. This necessitates wearing two ear tags and performing two ear-penetration procedures, undoubtedly causing more harm to the animal.

[0006] Moreover, existing independent RFID electronic tags, when fixed to an animal's ear, are horizontally positioned while the external antenna is vertically positioned, with a 90-degree angle between the tag and the antenna. As a result, the recognition rate is low and errors of non-recognition are prone to occur.

[0007] Therefore, a multifunctional animal ear tag that integrates RFID electronic tags and animal ear tags into one unit, and enables the RFID electronic tags to have a high recognition rate, has become the goal pursued by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0008] The primary objective of this invention is to address the problems of existing animal electronic tags and ear tags requiring secondary installation on animal ears, as well as the low recognition rate of animal electronic tags.

[0009] The second utility model aims to solve the problem that existing high-frequency and low-frequency electronic ear tags cannot be reused, which leads to increased management costs and excessive electronic plastic waste that pollutes the environment.

[0010] To achieve the aforementioned primary objective, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0011] A multifunctional animal ear tag includes an ear tag and an RFID electronic tag. The ear tag includes a main tag component, a secondary tag component, and two quick-penetration grading positioning pins. The two quick-penetration grading positioning pins pass through the secondary tag component and connect to the main tag component. The RFID electronic tag includes a sheet-shaped connecting part made of TPU and a tag part integrally formed with the connecting part. The tag part and the connecting part have an angle greater than 0 degrees and less than 180 degrees. The connecting part of the RFID electronic tag is adapted to the upper surface of the main tag component and has a hole for the two quick-penetration grading positioning pins to pass through. The RFID electronic tag is fixed to the upper surface of the main tag component by the quick-penetration grading positioning pins.

[0012] The multifunctional animal ear tag of this utility model, as a preferred embodiment, wherein: the tag part is provided with a bracket, an RFID antenna and an RFID chip installed on the bracket, and the included angle between the tag part and the connecting part is 45 degrees to 135 degrees, with 90 degrees being the optimal value.

[0013] In the preferred embodiment of the multifunctional animal ear tag of this utility model, the tag part 202 of the RFID electronic tag 200 is provided on the front side of the connecting part 201, that is, it extends along the width direction. In other words, the tag part 202 can be provided on the side of the connecting part 201 in the width direction or the length direction, as long as the included angle between the two is greater than 0 degrees and less than or equal to 90 degrees.

[0014] To achieve the second objective of this utility model, the multifunctional animal ear tag of this utility model further includes a leg assembly, which is detachably mounted on the main tag assembly; the quick-connect grading positioning pin is connected to the main tag assembly by being fixedly connected to the leg assembly.

[0015] The multifunctional animal ear tag of this utility model, as a preferred embodiment, comprises: a main tag assembly including an upper main tag shell and a lower main tag shell; a leg assembly including two columnar legs and a connector connecting the two legs; the end of each leg has a through hole for the quick-penetration grading positioning needle to pass through; the inner cavity of each leg is provided with a clamp for receiving and clamping the quick-penetration grading positioning needle; the upper end of each leg has a plug for sealing the clamp; the outer surface of the lower main tag shell has an arc-shaped protrusion; on both sides of the protrusion are bosses for mounting the legs; the bosses have a through hole for the quick-penetration grading positioning needle to pass through; the connector is arc-shaped to fit the protrusion of the lower main tag shell; the quick-penetration grading positioning needle passes through the through hole and the first through hole and is non-detachably connected and fixed to the clamp.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the multifunctional animal ear tag of this utility model, the outer surface of the protrusion has a groove for the connector to be embedded in, the connector is an arc-shaped strip adapted to the shape of the groove, and the connector and the groove are interference fit.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment of the multifunctional animal ear tag of this utility model, the clamp includes an upper clamping part in the shape of a cylindrical sleeve and a lower clamping part in the shape of a conical sleeve, as well as an inwardly protruding stop at the lower end; the inner diameter of the stop is smaller than the diameter of the annular protrusion on the quick-penetration grading positioning needle, and is adapted to the diameter of the recess between two adjacent annular protrusions on the quick-penetration grading positioning needle; and the clamping part has at least two or more grooves longitudinally, preferably four; the inner cavity of the leg is adapted to the outer contour of the clamping part, including a cylindrical hole at the upper part and a conical hole at the lower part.

[0018] In the preferred embodiment of the multifunctional animal ear tag of this utility model, the lower part of the inner diameter of the stop portion has a tapered chamfer.

[0019] In the preferred embodiment of the multifunctional animal ear tag of this utility model, a cavity one for accommodating a battery is formed below the protrusion of the lower shell of the main tag, and a U-shaped convex ring with a horizontal cross section is provided on the outer side of the protrusion, with a U-shaped cavity two inside the convex ring; the upper shell of the main tag is horizontally disposed at the end of the lower shell of the main tag, for sealing the cavity one and the cavity two.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment of the multifunctional animal ear tag of this utility model, the sub-tag component includes a sheet-shaped plastic pad made of TPU material, a receiving space formed by an elliptical ring protrusion under the plastic pad, and a metal pad made of metal material whose shape is adapted to the receiving space; the tail end of the quick-penetration grading positioning pin is connected to the metal pad and the plastic pad.

[0021] In the preferred embodiment of the multifunctional animal ear tag of this utility model, the quick-penetration grading positioning needle is provided with a plastic sleeve, one end of which has a stop ring. The stop ring and the nail head at the tail end of the quick-penetration grading positioning needle connect the metal pad and the plastic pad into one piece.

[0022] The multifunctional animal ear tag of this invention integrates an RFID electronic tag and an ear tag, with the RFID electronic tag connected to the upper surface of the main tag via a quick-connect positioning pin on the ear tag. This allows for synchronous connection of the RFID electronic tag and ear tag through a single connection to the animal's ear. The RFID electronic tag of this invention has an included angle α between the tag portion and the connecting portion that is greater than 0 degrees and less than or equal to 180 degrees. This design ensures that the tag portion and the antenna are not perpendicular, especially when α equals 90 degrees, where they are parallel, thereby improving the recognition rate. The recognition rate is highest at 90 degrees, and the recognition effect is also good when the angle is between 45 and 135 degrees.

[0023] To achieve the second utility model objective, the multifunctional animal ear tag of this utility model firstly adds a tube leg assembly, which is connected to the quick-penetration grading positioning needle, and realizes the connection between the main tag assembly and the sub-tag assembly. Specifically, the leg assembly is designed as two cylindrical legs and a connector connecting the legs. The lower end of each leg has a through hole for the quick-penetration grading positioning needle to pass through. Secondly, on both sides of the arc-shaped protrusion of the main label's lower shell, there are bosses for receiving the legs. Each boss has a through hole for the quick-penetration grading positioning needle to pass through. The connector is designed as an arc shape that fits the protrusion of the main label, or in other words, the connector is n-shaped. The two legs are connected to both sides of the connector to form an n-shaped leg assembly. This n-shaped leg assembly can straddle the bosses. Thirdly, by providing a clamp inside the leg for connecting to the front end of the quick-penetration grading positioning needle, the end of the quick-penetration grading positioning needle can be non-detachably connected to the clamp inside the leg by passing through the main label assembly. This achieves the purpose of fixing the main label assembly and the sub-label assembly together to the animal's ear. Because the quick-release grading positioning pin is non-detachably connected to the leg assembly's clamps, while the main tag assembly is separate from the leg assembly, the main tag assembly is not damaged when removing the ear tag from the animal's ear. Therefore, the information within the main tag can be updated. This is particularly suitable for animal ear tags used in animal husbandry management, as it can reduce costs and significantly decrease the electronic plastic waste generated by discarded ear tags, thus benefiting environmental protection.

[0024] The multifunctional animal ear tag of this utility model further features a groove designed on the surface of the protruding part of the lower shell of the main tag, and the connecting part of the leg component is designed to be an arc-shaped strip that fits the groove and is embedded in the groove, so that the leg component and the main tag component will not move together; furthermore, the fit between the two is designed to be an interference fit, so that the connecting part can be embedded in the groove of the lower shell of the main tag and is not easy to fall off.

[0025] Furthermore, in the multifunctional animal ear tag of this utility model, the groove on the outer surface of the lower shell of the main tag is formed by two raised ribs, which helps to reduce the thickness of the lower shell of the main tag and reduce the overall weight; the two sides of the arc-shaped strip connector are designed with reinforcing ribs, so that the main body of the connector is designed to be thinner. The reinforcing ribs ensure strength while minimizing weight.

[0026] Furthermore, the multifunctional animal ear tag of this utility model has a clamping part designed as a cylindrical upper clamping part, a conical lower clamping part, and a stop part located at the bottom. A narrow groove is opened on the wall from bottom to top. The inner diameter of the stop part is smaller than the diameter of the annular protrusion on the quick-penetration grading positioning needle and is adapted to the diameter of the recess between two adjacent annular protrusions. Therefore, when the quick-penetration grading positioning needle is inserted into the stop part of the clamping part under the action of external force, the quick-penetration grading positioning needle can pass through the stop part due to the effect of the groove, and a non-detachable fixed connection is achieved.

[0027] Furthermore, the multifunctional animal ear tag of this utility model has a cavity 1 inside the protrusion on the outer surface of the lower shell of the main tag to accommodate the battery, and a U-shaped protrusion ring is provided on the outer side of a protrusion, with a U-shaped cavity 2 inside the protrusion ring. The cavity 1 and cavity 2 are used to accommodate electrical components such as batteries and circuit boards. At the same time, the design of the U-shaped protrusion ring makes it easy for the operator to hold and has no sharp edges to avoid injuring the animal.

[0028] Furthermore, the multifunctional animal ear tag of this utility model designs the sub-tag component as a sheet-like plastic pad and an oval-shaped metal pad. The metal pad is located below the plastic pad, and below the plastic pad is an oval-shaped protrusion that forms a receiving space for the metal pad, so that the metal pad is embedded in the space. The plastic pad contacts the animal's ear, protecting the metal pad from injuring the animal's ear.

[0029] Furthermore, the multifunctional animal ear tag of this utility model has a plastic sleeve at the nail head of the end of the grading positioning needle, and a stop ring at the lower end of the sleeve. The stop ring and the nail head at the end of the grading positioning needle limit the metal pad and the plastic pad and are connected as one.

[0030] In summary, the multifunctional animal ear tag of this invention has a more rational structure, allowing the main tag component to be reused without damaging it when removing the ear tag. This reduces breeding and management costs and minimizes environmental pollution. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0048] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but these preferred embodiments should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] See Figure 1-4 The image shows a multifunctional animal ear tag, comprising an RFID electronic tag 200 and an ear tag 100. The RFID electronic tag 200 is used for animal identification, while the ear tag 100 is used to monitor the animal's health indicators such as temperature and movement. (See also...) Figure 3 , 6 The RFID electronic tag 200 includes a sheet-shaped connecting part 201 made of TPU and a tag part 202 integrally formed with the connecting part 201. The included angle α between the tag part 202 and the connecting part 201 is greater than 0 degrees and less than or equal to 180 degrees; a preferred solution is that the included angle α is 45 degrees to 135 degrees, and the optimal solution is equal to 90 degrees.

[0050] At this point, when installed on the animal's ear, the RFID chip 2023 of the tag 202 is positioned parallel to the antenna, achieving the highest recognition rate; see also Figure 7-8The ear tag 100 includes a main tag component 1, a secondary tag component 2, and two quick-penetration grading positioning pins 3, which pass through the secondary tag component 2 and connect to the main tag component 1; see also Figure 1-4 The connecting portion 201 of the RFID electronic tag 200 is adapted to the upper surface of the main tag assembly 1. Specifically, the edge of the connecting portion 201 that contacts the upper surface of the main tag assembly 1 has a bend 2011 that curves towards the main tag assembly 1, ensuring a tight contact between the two. The edge is also arc-shaped to prevent scratching animals. The connecting portion 201 has holes 2012 for the two quick-penetration grading positioning pins 3 to pass through. The RFID electronic tag 200 is fixed to the upper surface of the main tag assembly 1 via the quick-penetration grading positioning pins 3. (See also...) Figure 3 Inside the tag section 202, there is a bracket 2021, an RFID antenna 2022 mounted on the bracket 2021, and an RFID chip 2023. The RFID chip 2023 is a half-duplex chip.

[0051] This invention integrates an RFID electronic tag 200 onto the main tag 1 of an ear tag 100, allowing for one-time installation on the animal's ear. Furthermore, the tag portion 202 and the connecting portion 201 of the RFID electronic tag 200 are set at a certain angle α, i.e., greater than 0 degrees and less than or equal to 180 degrees, with a preferred angle of 45 degrees to 135 degrees, and ideally 90 degrees. This significantly improves the tag's recognition rate. See also... Figure 6 The figure shows the multifunctional animal ear tag of this invention installed on an animal's ear, which is the optimal method. The included angle α between the tag part 202 and the connecting part 201 is equal to 90 degrees. After installation, the tag part 202 is in a vertical position and parallel to the direction of the antenna 300, which has the best recognition effect.

[0052] See Figure 5 The figure shows another embodiment of the present invention, wherein the tag part 202 of the RFID electronic tag 200 is provided on the front side of the connecting part 201, that is, it is provided along the width direction. In other words, the tag part 202 can be provided on the side of the connecting part 201 in the width direction or the length direction, as long as the included angle between the two is greater than 0 degrees and less than or equal to 180 degrees.

[0053] To enable the main tag with ear tag circuitry in the ear tag 100 used for monitoring animal health indicators to be recycled, reducing waste and lowering management costs, the multifunctional animal ear tag of this utility model is further improved as follows: See Figure 7-19The figure shows the ear tag 100, which also includes a leg assembly 4. The leg assembly 4 is detachably mounted across the underside of the main tag assembly 1. The quick-penetration grading positioning needle 3 is connected to the main tag assembly 1 by being fixedly connected to the leg assembly 4. Specifically, the leg assembly 4 has two columnar legs 41 and a connector 42 connecting the two legs 41. The legs 4 are preferably cylindrical. The lower end of the legs 41 has a through hole 411 for the quick-penetration grading positioning needle 3 to pass through. A clamp 43 is provided in the inner cavity of the legs 41 for receiving and clamping the quick-penetration grading positioning needle 3. The clamp 43 is located in the cavity of the legs 41. The upper end of the legs 41 has a plug 44 for sealing the clamp 43. The main label assembly 1 includes a lower main label shell 11 and an upper main label shell 12, which are connected as a whole. The outer surface of the lower main label shell 11 has a protrusion 111 in the shape of an arc cylinder. On both sides of the protrusion 111, there are bosses 112 for mounting the legs 41. The bosses 112 have a second through hole 113 for the quick-penetration grading positioning pin 3 to pass through. The connector 42 is arc-shaped to fit the protrusion 111 of the lower main label shell 11. Thus, the outer contour of the leg assembly 4 forms an n-shape. The quick-penetration grading positioning pin 3 passes through the second through hole 113 on the bosses 112 of the main label assembly 1 and the first through hole 411 at the lower end of the leg 41, and is non-detachably connected and fixed to the clamp 43. Because the ear tag 100 has an added tube leg assembly 4, and the quick-penetration grading positioning pin 3 is fixedly connected to the tube leg assembly 4 through the sub-tag assembly 2 and the main tag assembly 1, when removing the ear tag, cutting the quick-penetration grading positioning pin 3 will not damage the main tag assembly 1, which has internal circuitry, and it can be recycled and reused. When reusing, only its information needs to be updated. This reduces waste and lowers the cost of animal husbandry management for ear tags used in animal husbandry, as well as reducing the generation of electronic plastic waste and preventing environmental pollution.

[0054] Furthermore, to fix the relative position between the main label assembly 1 and the leg assembly 4, preferably, the upper surface of the protrusion 111 of the main label lower shell 11 has an annular groove 114, and the connector 42 is an arc-shaped strip adapted to the shape of the groove 114, with the width of the connector 42 and the width of the groove 114 being an interference fit. The connector 42 is embedded in the annular groove 114, making the two integral, fixing the position of the leg 41 of the leg assembly 4, facilitating the insertion of the quick-connect grading positioning pin 3, and the interference fit prevents the two from separating.

[0055] As a preferred embodiment, the groove 114 is formed by providing two protruding ribs 118 spaced apart on the upper surface of the protrusion 111, with the connector 42 fitting perfectly into the groove 114 between the two ribs 118. Obviously, the groove 114 can also be formed by directly recessing downwards into the upper surface of the protrusion 111. Compared to the method of forming a groove with two ribs 118, this method results in a lower overall weight. Ideally, the connector 42 has protruding reinforcing ribs 421 on both sides of its arc-shaped upper surface, which can improve strength, or in other words, minimize weight while ensuring sufficient strength.

[0056] As a preferred embodiment, the clamp 43 includes an upper clamp 431, a lower clamp 432, and an inwardly protruding annular stop 433 at the lower end. The upper clamp 431 is cylindrical, and the lower clamp 432 is conical. The inner diameter of the stop 433 is smaller than the diameter of the annular protrusion 31 on the quick-penetration grading positioning pin 3 and matches the diameter of the recess 32 between two adjacent annular protrusions 31 on the quick-penetration grading positioning pin 3. The clamp 43 has at least two or more longitudinally spaced grooves 434, preferably three. The inner cavity of the leg 41 is adapted to the outer contour of the clamp 43, including a cylindrical hole 412 at the upper part and a conical hole 413 at the lower part. Because the inner cavity of the leg 41 has a conical portion adapted to the lower clamp 432, this conical portion can generate an inward compressive force, giving the clamp 43 sufficient clamping force.

[0057] In this embodiment, there are four slots 434, which can be increased or decreased as needed. During use, the quick-connect grading positioning pin 3, under external force, enters the stop portion 433 at the lower part of the clamp 43. Due to the longitudinal slots 434, the stop portion 433 and the lower part 432 of the clamp 43 are stretched apart by the external force. The annular protrusion 31 on the quick-connect grading positioning pin 3 passes through the stop portion 433 and enters. The stop portion 433 of the clamp 43 automatically retracts and locks into the recess 32 on the quick-connect grading positioning pin 3, thereby completing the installation and fixation of the animal ear tag.

[0058] To facilitate the quick-passing grading positioning needle 3 passing through the stop part 433, it is best to have a tapered chamfer 435 at the lower part of the inner diameter of the stop part 433. By setting the chamfer 435, it is convenient to guide the quick-passing grading positioning needle 3 into the stop part 433.

[0059] The ear tag 100 has a cavity 115 inside the protrusion 111 of the lower shell 11 of the main tag to accommodate the battery 6. A U-shaped horizontal ring 116 is provided on the outer side of one of the protrusions 112, with a U-shaped cavity 117 inside the ring 116 for housing the Bluetooth antenna. A symmetrical support portion 119 of the same height as the protrusion 112 is provided on the outer side of another protrusion 112. To reduce weight and improve ventilation, through holes 1110 are provided on the support portions 119 around the protrusion 112, and an annular through hole 1111 is provided between the ring 116 and the corresponding protrusion 112 for weight reduction and ventilation. Similarly, the outer periphery of the two holes 2011 in the connection part 201 of the RFID electronic tag 200 also has an annular through hole six 2014 and two through holes five 2013, with through hole five 2013 corresponding to through hole three 1110 and through hole six 2014 corresponding to through hole four 1111, which are also used for weight reduction and ventilation.

[0060] See Figure 8 The upper main cover 12 is horizontally positioned at the lower end of the lower main cover 11, used to seal the first cavity 115 and the second cavity 117; a circuit board 5 is provided inside the cavity 115, such as... Figure 13 As shown, the structure of the main cover 12 is consistent with the structure of the prior patent, and will not be described again.

[0061] The present invention discloses an animal ear tag. To prevent the secondary tag from harming the animal when it comes into contact with the animal's ear, the secondary tag component 2 includes a sheet-shaped plastic pad 21 made of TPU material. Underneath the plastic pad 21 is a receiving space 211 surrounded by an elliptical ring-shaped protrusion 212. A metal pad 22 made of metal material with a shape adapted to the receiving space 211 is disposed in the receiving space 211. The plastic pad 21 is correspondingly provided with a hole 213 for the quick-penetration grading positioning needle 3 to pass through. The center of the metal pad 22 is a space 221 for accommodating a magnet 7. A Hall switch 8 is disposed in the center of the circuit board 5 corresponding to the magnet 7. The Hall switch 8 is used to sense the magnet 7. When the secondary tag component 2 is separated from the main tag component 1, the Hall switch 8 can no longer sense the magnet 7 and will issue an alarm message to monitor whether the ear tag has fallen off.

[0062] The quick-penetration grading positioning needle 3 is externally fitted with a plastic sleeve 33. One end of the sleeve 33 has a stop ring 331. The stop ring 331 and the nail head 34 at the tail end of the quick-penetration grading positioning needle 3 connect the metal pad 22 and the plastic pad 21 into one unit. The sleeve 33, which comes into contact with the animal's ear, is made of plastic to prevent the metal quick-penetration grading positioning needle 3 from damaging the animal's ear. The quick-penetration grading positioning needle 3 refers to a positioning needle with a progressively decreasing diameter, corresponding to the corresponding parts, thereby positioning the sub-label assembly 2, the main label assembly 1, and the clamp 43 in sequence. This has been disclosed in prior patents and will not be repeated here.

[0063] The above description is illustrative only and not restrictive of this utility model. This utility model aims to provide a multifunctional animal ear tag that integrates an electronic tag and an ear tag into one unit. Those skilled in the art will understand that many modifications, variations, or equivalents can be made without departing from the spirit and scope defined by the claims. For example, changing the bending angle of the tag portion of the RFID electronic tag 200, or changing the installation position of the tag portion and the connecting portion, changing the number of quick-connect grading positioning pins, changing the number of slots on the clamp, etc., will all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
