Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a frame for mounting a device to be attached to the head of an animal having a keel between both ears.

Background Art

[0002] In order to improve the productivity of raw milk and beef cattle, it is desirable to precisely manage each individual cow. However, for cows kept in groups or on pasture, the work of searching for and leading the target cow is a heavy burden on the operator. Since behavioral control of cows by sound and vibration has been observed, if a device that gives stimuli by sound and vibration can be attached to each individual to establish a mechanism that calls only a specific individual and actively returns to the cowshed, automation of individual search and separation from the group is expected. This mechanism can be expected to be introduced into free stalls, free barns, and pastures, which are also expected to increase with the large-scale expansion of the feeding form, and together with the decrease in the working population, it can be expected to contribute to the reduction of labor in feeding. However, currently, a cow-mounted calling device suitable for calling only an individual is not used. In the behavioral management of dairy cows using sound, a collar-type speaker has been used in previous studies. Also, as a method of attaching to the cow's head, there is also a method (a head-loop type) in which the nose and submandibular area are passed through the inside of a circular device composed of a rope or the like, and this circular device is fixed by being coupled to the tip of a rope or the like passing under both ears and through the back of the head. In such a head-loop type method, the rope may shift due to the growth of the cow, and adjustment may be required according to the growth. Patent Document 1 proposes a livestock grazing management system that uses a stimulus driver by vibration, sound, and music to learn a drive method suitable for instructing the behavior of livestock and instructs the learned drive method from a livestock management server. Patent Document 1 describes attaching a device to the neck or ear of an animal. Non-Patent Document 1 describes a collar equipped with an acoustic signal generator for behavior control. Also, Non-Patent Document 2 describes attaching a device that gives stimuli such as vibration and sound to cows during grazing.

[0005] However, collar-type speakers have unstable sound output directionality, which can be heard by other cows and may interfere with calling only specific cows. On the other hand, while halter-type speakers can securely fix the sound equipment, the time and effort required to attach the ring-shaped fastener to the nose is likely to be a hurdle to adoption by large-scale dairy farms. For these reasons, conventional mounting methods have risks of other cows hearing the sound and are difficult to attach.

[Examples]

[0031] A device mounting frame according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described below. Figure 1 is a photograph showing the device mounting frame according to this embodiment, and Figure 2 is a photograph showing the device mounting frame attached to the head of an animal. The device mounting frame 10 according to this embodiment is used by attaching it to the head of an animal that has an intercorneal ridge P between its ears Ea and Eb. Animals that have an intercorneal ridge P between their ears Ea and Eb belong to the order Ungulates, and in particular, to Artiodactyla, such as cattle, goats, sheep, or deer. The intercorneal ridge P is a raised portion in the skull of an animal where the midline portion of the parietal margin of the frontal bone is elevated. In the present invention, the intercorneal ridge P is a raised portion regardless of whether or not horns are present, and includes horn-like projections.

[0032] The device mounting frame 10 according to this embodiment includes a front ridge frame 11 that abuts against the front ridge Pf of the intercorneal ridge P, a side ridge frame 12 that is continuous with the front ridge frame 11 and positioned along one side ridge Psa of the intercorneal ridge P, a side ear frame 13 that is continuous with the side ridge frame 12 and abuts below one ear Ea via the rear of one ear, a side ridge frame 14 that is continuous with the front ridge frame 11 and positioned along the other side ridge Psb of the intercorneal ridge P, and a side ear frame 15 that is continuous with the side ridge frame 14 and abuts below the other ear Eb via the rear of the other ear.

[0033] The raised anterior frame 11 is curved along the raised anterior Pf. One end of the raised lateral frame 12 is continuous with one end of the raised anterior frame 11, and the other end of the raised lateral frame 12 is continuous with one end of the lateral ear frame 13. One side of the raised frame 12 is curved along the one side of the raised frame Psa. The other end of the one ear frame 13 is in contact with the lower part of at least one ear Ea. One ear frame 13 is curved along the posterior side of one ear Ea. One end of the other raised side frame 14 is continuous with the other end of the raised front frame 11, and the other end of the other raised side frame 14 is continuous with one end of the other ear frame 15. The other raised side frame 14 is curved along the other raised side Psb. The other end of the other ear frame 15 is in contact with at least the lower part of the other ear Eb. The other ear frame 15 is curved along the posterior aspect of the other ear Eb. In this way, the raised front frame 11 abuts against the raised front Pf, one ear frame 13 abuts below one ear Ea, and the other ear frame 15 abuts below the other ear Eb, creating a three-point attachment. This makes it difficult for the device to come off as it is less likely to shift in any direction (up, down, left, right, front, or back), while the use of the intercorneal raised P and both ears Ea and Eb makes it easy to attach to the animal's head.

[0034] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, it is preferable that the one raised side frame 12 is positioned along the one raised side Psa and the rear raised part Pr of the intercorner raised P, and the other raised side frame 14 is positioned along the other raised side Psb and the rear raised part Pr. Therefore, one raised side frame 12 is curved along the one raised side Psa and also curves along at least a portion of the raised rear Pr. The other raised side frame 14 is curved along the other raised side Psb and also curves along at least a portion of the raised rear Pr. In this way, by aligning the one-sided raised lateral frame 12 and the other-sided raised lateral frame 14 along the posterior raised Pr, the frame is less likely to shift or come off even when animals rub their temporal region against something. Alternatively, by connecting the one raised side frame 12 and the other raised side frame 14, the one raised side frame 12, the other raised side frame 14, and the raised front frame 11 may be used to encircle the outer circumference of the inter-corner raised P in a ring shape. By forming it in a ring shape in this way, a coil can be incorporated into the frame to support wireless charging.

[0035] As shown in Figure 1, a device X1 that emits sound or vibration can be attached to the raised front frame 11. When attaching the device X1 to the raised front frame 11 in this way, at least the raised front frame 11 is formed from a flexible pipe. In this way, by forming the raised front frame 11 with a flexible pipe, it is easy to attach the raised front frame 11 to the raised front Pf. And by attaching the device X1 to the raised front Pf, it is easier to transmit sound and vibration to the animal.

[0036] Furthermore, a device X2s that emits sound or vibration can be attached to the one-sided raised side frame 12. In this case, when the device X2s is attached to the one-sided raised side frame 12, at least the one-sided raised side frame 12 is formed from a flexible pipe. In this way, by forming the one-sided raised side frame 12 with a flexible pipe, it is easier to attach the one-sided raised side frame 12 to the one-sided raised side Psa. And by attaching the device X2s to the one-sided raised side Psa, it is easier to transmit sound and vibration to animals.

[0037] Furthermore, a device X2r that emits sound or vibration can be attached to the one-sided raised side frame 12. In this case, when the device X2r is attached to the one-sided raised side frame 12, at least the one-sided raised side frame 12 is formed from a flexible pipe. In this way, by forming the one-sided raised side frame 12 with a flexible pipe, it is easier to attach the one-sided raised side frame 12 to the rear raised Pr. Then, by attaching the device X2r to the rear raised Pr, it is easier to transmit sound and vibration to animals.

[0038] Furthermore, a device X4s that emits sound or vibration can be attached to the other raised side frame 14. In this case, when the device X4s is attached to the other raised side frame 14, at least the other raised side frame 14 is formed from a flexible pipe. In this way, by forming the other raised side frame 14 with a flexible pipe, it is easier to attach the other raised side frame 14 to the other raised side Psb. And by attaching the device X4s to the other raised side Psb, it is easier to transmit sound and vibration to animals.

[0039] Furthermore, a device X4r that emits sound or vibration can be attached to the other raised side frame 14. In this case, when the device X4r is attached to the other raised side frame 14, at least the other raised side frame 14 is formed from a flexible pipe. In this way, by forming the other raised side frame 14 with a flexible pipe, it is easier to attach the other raised side frame 14 to the raised rear Pr. Then, by attaching the device X4r to the raised rear Pr, it is easier to transmit sound and vibration to animals.

[0040] Furthermore, a device X3 that emits sound or vibration can be attached to one ear frame 13. When the device X3 is attached to one ear frame 13 in this way, at least one ear frame 13 is formed from a flexible pipe. In this way, by forming the one ear frame 13 with a flexible pipe, it is easy to attach the one ear frame 13 to one ear Ea. And by attaching the device X3 to one ear Ea, it is easy to transmit sound and vibrations to the animal.

[0041] Furthermore, a device X5 that emits sound or vibration can be attached to the other ear frame 15. When the device X5 is attached to the other ear frame 15 in this way, at least the other ear frame 15 is formed from a flexible pipe. In this way, by forming the other ear frame 15 with a flexible pipe, it is easier to attach the other ear frame 15 to the other ear Eb. And by attaching the device X5 to the other ear Eb, it is easier to transmit sound and vibration to the animal.

[0042] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the raised front frame 11, one raised side frame 12, one ear frame 13, the other raised side frame 14, and the other ear frame 15 can also be formed from a single flexible pipe. In other words, a single flexible pipe can be used by running it from the front raised portion Pf along one raised side portion Psa, then passing behind one ear Ea and bringing it into contact with the bottom of one ear Ea, and also by running it from the front raised portion Pf along the other raised side portion Psb, then passing behind the other ear Eb and bringing it into contact with the bottom of the other ear Eb. In this case, the flexible pipe is attached at three points by contacting the anterior ridge Pf, the area below one ear Ea, and the area below the other ear Eb, making it less likely to slip in any direction (up, down, left, right, front, or back) and thus less likely to come off. On the other hand, since it utilizes the interhorn ridge P and both ears Ea and Eb, it is easy to attach to the animal's head. Furthermore, by attaching sound or vibration-emitting devices X1, X2s, X2r, X3, X4s, X4r, and X5 to this flexible pipe, the devices X1, X2s, X2r, X3, X4s, X4r, and X5 can be brought into close contact with the intercorneal ridge P and ears Ea and Eb, making it easier to transmit sound and vibration to animals.

[0043] Furthermore, a single flexible pipe can be used by guiding it from the front raised portion Pf along one raised side portion Psa and the rear raised portion Pr, then passing behind one ear Ea and bringing it into contact with the lower part of one ear Ea, or by guiding it from the front raised portion Pf along the other raised side portion Psb and the rear raised portion Pr, then passing behind the other ear Eb and bringing it into contact with the lower part of the other ear Eb. In this case, the flexible pipe is attached in three points by contacting the anterior ridge Pf, the area below one ear Ea, and the area below the other ear Eb. Furthermore, by aligning it with the posterior ridge Pr, it is less likely to slip in any direction (up, down, left, right, front, or back), making it less likely to come off. On the other hand, since it utilizes the intercorneal ridge P and both ears Ea and Eb, it is easy to attach to the animal's head. Furthermore, by attaching sound or vibration-emitting devices X1, X2s, X2r, X3, X4s, X4r, and X5 to this flexible pipe, the devices X1, X2s, X2r, X3, X4s, X4r, and X5 can be brought into close contact with the intercorneal ridge P and ears Ea and Eb, making it easier to transmit sound and vibration to animals. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2, the device mounting frame 10 can be secured even more reliably by attaching the chin strap 31 to the other side of the one ear frame 13 and the other side of the other ear frame 15.

[0044] Figure 3 is a photograph showing a device mounting frame according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 3(a), the other side of one ear frame 13 and the other side of the other ear frame 15 may be facing the rear of the animal. Alternatively, as shown in Figure 3(b), the other end of one ear frame 13 and the other end of the other ear frame 15 may be directed towards the intercorneal ridge P. As shown in Figures 3(a) and 3(b), by orienting the other end of one ear frame 13 and the other end of the other ear frame 15 toward the rear of the animal or toward the intercorneal ridge P, there is no concern about damaging the eyes. In this embodiment, devices X1, X2s, X2r, X3, X4s, X4r, and X5 are described as individual calling devices that emit sound or vibration, but it is preferable that they also include a signal receiving unit that receives instructions from the outside. Furthermore, devices X1, X2s, X2r, X3, X4s, X4r, and X5 are not limited to individual calling devices, but may also be devices that store individual identification information and detect location information and individual status information.

[0045] Figure 4 shows a photograph and conceptual diagram of a device mounting frame according to yet another embodiment of the present invention. Note that components identical to those already described are given the same numbers and their descriptions are omitted. In the embodiment shown in Figure 4, the annular frame 10R is formed by the raised front frame 11, the one raised side frame 12, and the other raised side frame 14. In this way, by using an annular frame 10R, it is easier to position around the intercorneal ridge P and less likely to come loose. Furthermore, in the device mounting frame 10 shown in Figures 1 and 2, the one raised side frame 12 and the other raised side frame 14 can be connected to form an annular frame 10R.

[0046] In this embodiment, there is a one-hook frame 16 connected to the end of one ear frame 13, and a other-hook frame 17 connected to the end of the other ear frame 15. One hook portion frame 16 is positioned in front of one ear Ea, and the end of the one hook portion frame 16 is attached to the annular frame 10R. The attachment position of the end of the one hook portion frame 16 to the annular frame 10R corresponds to the position of the one raised side portion frame 12. The other hook portion frame 17 is positioned in front of the other ear Eb, and the end of the other hook portion frame 17 is attached to the annular frame 10R. The attachment position of the end of the other hook portion frame 17 to the annular frame 10R corresponds to the position of the other raised side portion frame 14. According to this embodiment, one ear Ea is surrounded by one ear frame 13 and one hook frame 16, and the other ear Eb is surrounded by the other ear frame 15 and the other hook frame 17, making it even more difficult for the ear to come off.

[0047] In this embodiment, one ear frame 13 and one hook frame 16 are connected by one joint portion 18, and the other ear frame 15 and the other hook frame 17 are connected by another joint portion 19. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the end of one hook portion frame 16 and the annular frame 10R are detachable by one fastener 20, and the end of the other hook portion frame 17 and the annular frame 10R are detachable by the other fastener 21. According to this embodiment, the one joint portion 18 and the other joint portion 19 allow for easy attachment and removal from the animal's head, and the one fastener 20 and the other fastener 21 ensure secure attachment.

[0048] When attaching the one hook portion frame 16 and the other hook portion frame 17 shown in this embodiment to the device mounting frame 10 shown in Figures 1 and 2, the end of the one hook portion frame 16 is attached to the one raised side portion frame 12, and the end of the other hook portion frame 17 is attached to the other raised side portion frame 14.

[0049] Figure 5 is a diagram showing the main components of a device mounting frame based on an embodiment that uses the conceptual diagram shown in Figure 4. Note that components identical to those already described are given the same numbers and their descriptions are omitted. Figure 5 shows the other joint portion 19 connecting the other ear frame 15 and the other hook portion frame 17, and the other fastener 21 connecting the end of the other hook portion frame 17 and the annular frame 10R. The one joint portion 18 and the one fastener 20 have the same configuration as the other joint portion 19 and the other fastener 21.

[0050] In the embodiment shown in Figure 5, one joint portion 18 and the other joint portion 19 each have an elastic material 19a. The elastic material 19a biases the one hook portion frame 16 in a direction in which the end of the one hook portion frame 16 approaches the annular frame 10R, and biases the other hook portion frame 17 in a direction in which the end of the other hook portion frame 17 approaches the annular frame 10R. In this embodiment, a torsion spring is used as the elastic material 19a. The claws hold one hook portion frame 16 (or the other hook portion frame 17), and when the claws release the hold, the restoring force of the torsion spring causes the end of the one hook portion frame 16 (or the other hook portion frame 17) to move in a direction toward the annular frame 10R. In this way, by biasing one hook frame 16 and the other hook frame 17 using the elastic material 19a, attachment to the animal's head becomes even easier.

[0051] Furthermore, in this embodiment, one fastener 20 and the other fastener 21 are configured as a latch mechanism. By using this latch mechanism, even more secure fastening can be achieved.

[0052] Figure 6 is a diagram showing the main components of a device mounting frame, different from that of Figure 5, based on the conceptual diagram shown in Figure 4. Note that components identical to those already described are given the same numbers and their descriptions are omitted. Figure 6 shows the other joint portion 19 connecting the other ear frame 15 and the other hook portion frame 17, and the other fastener 21 connecting the end of the other hook portion frame 17 and the annular frame 10R. The one joint portion 18 and the one fastener 20 have the same configuration as the other joint portion 19 and the other fastener 21.

[0053] In the embodiment shown in Figure 6, unlike the embodiment shown in Figure 5, one joint portion 18 and the other joint portion 19 are composed solely of rotating bodies without having an elastic material 19a. In this embodiment, the end of one hook frame 16 (or the other hook frame 17) is manually moved in a direction that brings it closer to the annular frame 10R. In this embodiment, as in Figure 5, one fastener 20 and the other fastener 21 are configured as a latch mechanism. By using a latch mechanism in this way, more secure attachment can be achieved.

[0054] Figure 7 shows a photograph and conceptual diagram of a device mounting frame according to yet another embodiment of the present invention. Note that components identical to those already described are given the same numbers and their descriptions are omitted.

[0055] In the embodiment shown in Figure 7, the device mounting frame 10 includes a front ridge frame 11 that abuts against the front ridge Pf of the intercorneal ridge P, a side ridge frame 12 connected to the front ridge frame 11 and positioned along one side ridge Psa of the intercorneal ridge P, a other ear frame 15 connected to the side ridge frame 12 and extending below the other ear Eb via the rear of the other ear Eb, a other ridge side frame 14 connected to the front ridge frame 11 and positioned along the other side ridge Psb of the intercorneal ridge P, and a one ear frame 13 connected to the other ridge side frame 14 and extending below the one ear Ea via the rear of the one ear Ea. In this embodiment, the raised front frame 11 abuts against the raised front Pf, one ear frame 13 abuts below one ear Ea, and the other ear frame 15 abuts below the other ear Eb, resulting in a three-point attachment. This makes it difficult for the device to come off as it is less likely to shift in any direction (up, down, left, right, front, or back). Furthermore, since it utilizes the intercorneal raised P and both ears Ea and Eb, it is easy to attach to the animal's head.

[0056] Figure 7(a) further shows that the device mounting frame 10 comprises one hook portion frame 16, the other hook portion frame 17, one joint portion 18, and the other joint portion 19. Although Figure 7 does not show the sound or vibration-emitting devices X1, X2s, X2r, X3, X4s, X4r, and X5, they can be attached in the same way as in Figure 1.

[0057] Figure 8 is a conceptual diagram showing a device mounting frame according to yet another embodiment of the present invention. Note that components identical to those already described are given the same numbers and their descriptions are omitted.

[0058] In the embodiment shown in Figure 8, a power receiving coil 22 that receives power by electromagnetic induction is placed on the annular frame 10R. In addition, a chin strap 31 is attached to the other side of one ear frame 13 and the other side of the other ear frame 15, and the battery 23 is attached by the chin strap 31. In this way, the receiving coil 22 can be positioned using the annular frame 10R, and since the receiving coil 22 can be positioned on the animal's head, charging is easier, and power from the receiving coil 22 can be used to charge the battery 23. In this embodiment, the one-ear frame 13 and the other-ear frame 15 are constructed as separate components from the annular frame 10R, and the one-ear frame 13 and the other-ear frame 15 are joined to the annular frame 10R using fasteners such as screws. The power receiving coil 22 and the battery 23 are connected by a wire, which is laid inside the annular frame 10R, one ear frame 13, the other ear frame 15, and the chin strap 31.

[0060] In the embodiment shown in Figure 9, a power receiving coil 22 that receives power by electromagnetic induction is placed on the annular frame 10R. In addition, a chin strap 31 is attached to the other side of one ear frame 13 and the other side of the other ear frame 15, and the battery 23 is attached by the chin strap 31. In this way, the receiving coil 22 can be positioned using the annular frame 10R, and since the receiving coil 22 can be positioned on the animal's head, charging is easier, and power from the receiving coil 22 can be used to charge the battery 23. In this embodiment, one ear frame 13 and the other ear frame 15 are integrally constructed from the same material as the annular frame 10R. The power receiving coil 22 and the battery 23 are connected by a wire, which is laid inside the annular frame 10R, one ear frame 13, the other ear frame 15, and the chin strap 31.

[0061] Figure 10 is a conceptual diagram showing a device mounting frame according to yet another embodiment of the present invention. Note that components identical to those already described are given the same numbers and their descriptions are omitted.

[0062] In the embodiment shown in Figure 10, there is an annular frame 10R on which a power receiving coil 22 that receives power by electromagnetic induction is arranged, and a string material 32 to which a battery 23 that is wired to the power receiving coil 22 is attached. The annular frame 10R is positioned around the animal's jaw and attached to the battery 23 by a string 32. According to this embodiment, the annular frame 10R is positioned around the animal's jaw to facilitate charging, and the battery 23 is positioned at the posterior part Pr of the intercorneal ridge P or at the animal's throat to avoid interfering with the animal's movements.

[0063] Figure 11 is a conceptual diagram showing a device mounting frame according to yet another embodiment of the present invention. Note that components identical to those already described are given the same numbers and their descriptions are omitted.

[0064] In the embodiment shown in Figure 11, there is an annular frame 10R on which a power receiving coil 22 that receives power by electromagnetic induction is arranged, and a string material 32 to which a battery 23 that is wired to the power receiving coil 22 is attached. The annular frame 10R is positioned around the animal's cheek and attached to the battery 23 by a string 32. According to this embodiment, charging is facilitated by positioning the annular frame 10R at the cheek of the animal, and the battery 23 is positioned at the posterior part Pr of the intercorneal ridge P or at the throat of the animal, so as not to interfere with the animal's movements.

[0065] In the embodiments shown in Figures 4 to 11, flexible pipes can be used for the annular frame 10R, the one-sided hook frame 16, and the other-sided hook frame 17. Non-metallic materials such as ABS resin, polyvinyl chloride, or polycarbonate can be used for the flexible pipes. Furthermore, the retention of the annular frame 10R, the one hook portion frame 16, and the other hook portion frame 17 can be improved by using adhesive or an anti-slip structure on the contact surface with the animal's hair.
