Description

SMART DEVICE FOR DETECTING FOREIGN METAL BODY IN RUMINANT FOREGMOBS DETECTOR TECHNICAL FIELD The invention is designed for use in the field of veterinary medicine, specifically in the area of ​​nutrition. Detection of foreign metal objects swallowed during pregnancy in the fore-stomachs of ruminants The presence of a metallic object, as well as its size and position, enable its detection. a smart system with a multi-sensor structure that allows for precise determination. It is related to the detector. PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE In the field of animal husbandry, the ingestion of foreign objects and the resulting complications... Complications and resulting productivity losses are frequent. This is a common situation. Swallowed foreign objects and the penetration of these objects. As a result, adult dairy cows typically experience fever, loss of appetite, bloating, and pain. Disorders characterized by these reactions occur. Used for detecting metal objects swallowed by animals. Current metal detectors basically tell whether a metallic foreign object is present or not. These are systems designed to detect the absence of certain features. However, these devices... Due to its operating principles, it can sometimes give incorrect results, which is not the case. Erroneous outputs showing either metal present or no metal present. These errors can be produced by factors such as the object's position, size, type of metal, and environmental conditions. This can be caused by many factors, such as sensor sensitivity. Also... Metal detectors commonly used today only detect metal. It provides information about its existence; the shape, size, exact location, and depth of the metallic object. or it cannot provide detailed data about its relationship with surrounding tissues. Therefore analysis of the structural properties of the metal foreign body or an operative Additional imaging required to ensure correct positioning for intervention. 2 methods are needed. In this context, X-ray, ultrasound or metal is detected using additional imaging techniques such as advanced scanning systems. both the geometric properties of the object and its location can be determined with higher accuracy. can be identified. In metallic foreign bodies, a ferroscope and / or... radiological examination, clinical signs and other examination results together Diagnosis is made through evaluation, and the definitive diagnosis is made with laparorumenotomy. Recently, ultrasonographic examination methods have also been used in reticulum examination. Diagnostic methods such as ferroscopy, radiography, ultrasonography, and hematology are being tried. Techniques can be used simultaneously for better diagnosis, including ferroscopy of metallic surfaces. Radiography helps to locate foreign bodies. It shows the nature, type and location of the object, while ultrasonography shows the reticulum and It is used to determine the condition of peripheral organs. However, all these methods... This leads to extra time and resource usage and is impractical. It creates a process. In conclusion, the technology that exists and is currently in use eliminating shortcomings and disadvantages in structures and practices The need to remove it necessitates an improvement in the relevant technical field. It makes it possible. THE PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION The present invention aims to eliminate the aforementioned disadvantages and the related technical Developed to provide new advantages in the field and in ruminant fore-stomachs with an intelligent detector system designed for the purpose of detecting metal objects It is related. The purpose of the invention is to detect the presence of foreign metal objects in the ruminant fore-stomach. However, the size, location, and shape of the foreign metal object Multi-sensor and artificial intelligence-based systems that enable highly accurate determination. The goal is to establish a detector system. 3 Another purpose of the invention is to identify foreign metal bodies in the ruminant fore-stomach. determining that it was not present, however, the size of the foreign metal object, multi-sensor system that enables highly precise determination of position and shape. And thanks to the development of an artificial intelligence-based detector system, additional imaging such as X-rays, ultrasounds, or advanced scanning systems The goal is to eliminate the need for these techniques. Another purpose of the invention is to support systems such as X-rays, ultrasounds, or advanced scanning systems. By eliminating the need for additional imaging techniques, Detecting the presence of foreign metal objects in the ruminant fore-stomach, However, the high size, location, and shape of the foreign metal object Processes such as precise determination can be carried out reliably, practically, and quickly. and to ensure that it is carried out at much lower costs. Thus, an examination should be performed away from radiation effects and the person experiencing discomfort should be examined. This makes it possible to intervene more quickly to help the animal. The structural and characteristic features and all the advantages of the invention are written below. This will be understood more clearly thanks to the detailed explanation, and therefore... The evaluation should also be made taking this detailed explanation into consideration. is required. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The preferred alternatives in this detailed description of the invention are merely a matter of greater scope. in order to ensure a good understanding and without creating any limiting effects It is explained. The invention is designed for use in the field of veterinary medicine, specifically in the area of ​​nutrition. Detection of foreign metal objects swallowed during pregnancy in the fore-stomachs of ruminants The presence of a metallic object, as well as its size and position, enable its detection. a smart system with a multi-sensor structure that allows for precise determination.
