Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a transceiver with an antenna used for livestock management, and more particularly, to an RFID.
The present invention relates to a transceiver provided with various antennas in livestock management of meat and dairy cows using (Radio Frequency ID).

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art At present, transceivers and antennas of overseas and domestic products have an integral structure. Conventional RFID
Since the reading distance is as short as several tens of centimeters in the system, the fixed type antenna becomes more robust and larger in livestock sites as the cattle to be read grows.

[0003] In addition, approaching a large adult cow for measurement may be dangerous, and the measurement is not easy. In order to read the ID of livestock, many people are required to carry out the maintenance work.

[0004]

As described above, in the conventional RFID system, it is necessary to provide a large and solid antenna, and it is dangerous to approach a large adult cow for measurement. Therefore, there is a problem that it is not easy to install the transceiver and the antenna and read the antenna.

The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned problems, and has various antennas that can be easily installed when ID reading is necessary and that can be selected according to the situation of the attachment place. It is an object of the present invention to provide an antenna used for livestock management and a transceiver provided with the antenna, which can ensure the safety of a person performing the operation.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides: [1] A transceiver which can be replaced with a portable or fixed antenna of various shapes for livestock management. In addition, a portable hanging antenna, and a portable antenna controller and a portable transceiver connected via a cable near the hanging antenna are provided.

[2] In a transceiver in which a portable or fixed antenna of various shapes for livestock management can be replaced, an antenna attached to a portable or fixed push-open gate provided in a passage of livestock, and A portable antenna controller and a portable transceiver connected via a cable are provided near the antenna.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an RFID according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
(Radio FrequencyID) is a schematic diagram of a livestock management system using FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a transceiver with an antenna (No. 1) used for livestock management according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing a transceiver with an antenna (part 2) used for livestock management according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, livestock (cows, horses, sheep, and the like, in particular, the case of cattle is described here) is bred in a large ranch A, and each livestock is A transponder 10 is provided in the cathedral, and a livestock passage to the pasture B, for example, a hanging antenna 1
And the antenna controller 3, and the transponder 1
The ID of "0" is read, transmitted wirelessly from the transceiver 4, and collected at the livestock management center C to manage the state of raising livestock.

In particular, in this embodiment, the suspension type antenna (antenna coil) 1 is mounted on the driving fence 9 with metal fittings. As a result, the transponder 10 fixed to a cow's ear or the like passes through the vicinity, so that I
Read D.

In FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a hanging antenna which is folded in two, and a hook-shaped mounting bracket 2 is mounted on an upper portion thereof. The mounting bracket 2 is arranged to be suspended inside the drive-in fence 9. The hanging antenna 1 is connected to an antenna controller 3 and a transceiver 4 via a cable 6.

FIG. 4 shows a portable antenna of this type which has a joint 5 above a driving fence 9.
And a mounting bar 7 whose length is adjustable so as to pass over the top of the drive-in fence 9, and a flexible hanging type antenna 8 in the form of a curtain that is fluttered on the mounting bar 7. It is like that.

Therefore, since the antennas 1 and 8 are hung on the drive-in fence 9, the cows are driven by the antennas 1 and 8 and the antenna controller 3 when the cows are driven in. Read the ID of
By transmitting to the livestock management center C by the transceiver 4, cattle and the like can be managed.

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing an antenna used for livestock management and a transceiver (part 1) provided with the antenna according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

In this embodiment, a portable or fixed type push-up gate is arranged on a driving fence, and an antenna (antenna coil) is attached to the gate.

As shown in FIG. 5, an antenna 12 is arranged on a single-sided push-open gate 11, and a cow or the like pushes the gate open with his / her head and passes through the gate to reliably read the ID. The spring 13 allows the spring 13 to return to its original state after passing.

The antenna 12 is connected to an antenna controller 15 and a transceiver 16 by a cable 14.

The antenna 12 is mounted on a driving fence (not shown), and when the cow is driven, the cow is provided to the cow by the antenna 12 of the one-way push-open gate 11 and the antenna controller 15. By reading the ID of the transponder, and transmitting it to the livestock management center with the transceiver 16, the cow can be managed.

In the above-described embodiment, the single-sided push-open gate type antenna has been described. However, FIG. 6 shows a double-sided push-open gate type antenna.

That is, a double-sided push-open gate 21 is disposed so as to pass over the drive-in fence 20, and the gate 2
1, an antenna (antenna coil) 22 is provided. Also in this case, the double-sided push-opening gate 21 can be returned to the original state after passing by the spring 23.

Therefore, the ID of the transponder provided for the cattle to be driven can be read at the double push gate 21 of the driving fence 20.

As described above, the antenna shape and the pattern portion connecting the coil portion and the coil and the main body are adapted to the drive-in fence, and various shapes are prepared, and the user can select from those having different shapes. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a combination with an antenna having the most appropriate shape at each site.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible based on the spirit of the present invention, and these are not excluded from the scope of the present invention.

[0025]

As described above, according to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained.

(A) The labor required for reading the RFID transponder can be omitted, and the safety of the person reading the RFID transponder can be ensured.

(B) The use of antennas and transceivers can be adapted to various ranch configurations and livestock passages.

(C) Enables reliable reading of the transponder.

(D) An increase in cost can be suppressed by using a temporary antenna.

(E) It can be applied to automation of various managements.

(F) Automatic collection of various management data is enabled.
