In the delivery of large livestock such as cattle, it is necessary for livestock owners to be present and managed and assisted by a veterinarian in order to increase the fertility survival rate and prevent secondary damage such as difficult labor.

The delivery process of large livestock can be divided into signs of delivery, birth period, birth period, and postpartum period. In the postpartum stage, a behavioral characteristic of holding a tail usually appears along with minor changes in the body such as breast ending and pelvic ligament relaxation.

Gastroenterology is the time when the boundary between the uterus and the vagina disappears due to the expansion of the cervix medically, and at this time, the labor begins and the fetus rotates from the lower position toward the state for childbirth. Feeding is stopped during this mischief, feces and urine are frequently discharged, and behavioral symptoms such as wandering with a tail are accompanied.

The output period refers to the time the ectopic begins to fully open until the fetus is in full bloom, and is divided into the first wavenumber and the second wavenumber. The first wave number is a phenomenon in which the taboo is ruptured. At this time, the dark red urinary meninges are discharged. Usually, it is observed from the protruding taboo by intravaginal pressure, but rupture may occur in the vagina. The second wave is when the amniotic fluid and the fetus are expelled along with the rupture of the foot.

The biological signal monitoring apparatus 10 at the time of delivery of livestock includes a fixing member 100 and a communication module 300.

The fixing member 100 may include a body 110 and a plurality of wings 130.

The body 110 has a bar shape, and the plurality of wings 130 may be positioned so as to be inclined with respect to the body 110 at one end of the body 110. In this embodiment, the body 110 and the plurality of wings 130 may be integrally formed of a flexible material such as resin or rubber.

The fixing member 100 may be mounted on the insertion device 500 (see FIG. 9) and inserted into the vagina of the livestock in a state in which the plurality of wings 130 are folded or closed. Thereafter, as the fixing member 100 flows out from the insertion device 500, the plurality of wings 130 are spread so that the fixing member 100 may be fixed to the inner wall of the vagina or to a portion of the genitalia corresponding to the pelvis.

The fixing member 100 has an approximately “T” shape when viewed from the side before being mounted on the insertion device 500, that is, in a state in which the external force is removed, and when viewed from the front, the plurality of wings 130 are approximately “ It can be formed in an X” shape.

The communication module 300 is accommodated in the body 110 of the fixing member 100 to transmit the livestock's biosignals to the outside until the livestock delivery time biosignal monitoring device 10 is discharged to the outside of the body. Can be discharged. For example, in the body 110 of the fixing member 100, the core storage groove 111 in which the communication module 300 is accommodated and the battery storage groove in which the battery 330 supplying power to the communication module 300 is accommodated. 113 may be formed.

6 is a view showing another example of the fixing member 100 of the bio-signal monitoring apparatus 10 during delivery of livestock according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The fixing member 100 may have a different shape or size depending on the type or size of livestock.

As shown in the upper and middle figures of FIG. 6, some of the wings 130 among the plurality of wings 130 may be formed shorter than the other wings 150.

For example, as illustrated on the upper side of FIG. 6, a pair of symmetrical wings 130 may be relatively short, and the other pair of symmetrical wings 150 may be formed relatively long.

Alternatively, alternatively, as illustrated in the center of FIG. 6, the two adjacent wings 130 may be relatively short, and the other two adjacent wings 150 may be formed relatively long.

In the case of wing types having different lengths, it can be applied when it is necessary to insert the biosignal monitoring device 10 at the time of delivery into the vagina of livestock with different lengths of the wings 130 and 150 depending on the vertical or horizontal direction. have.

In the case of the fixing member 100 shown in the lower side of FIG. 6, the length of the blade 130 is variable. For example, the fixing part 133 of the wing 130 may include a support part 132 and an extension part 134. The support part 132 has a tubular shape with a hollow inside, and the extension part 134 is inserted into the support part 132 and slides, and accordingly, the length of the blade 130 may be lengthened or shortened.

Accordingly, even if the type of livestock is different, the size of the wing 130 can be appropriately changed, and even if the livestock of the same type, the size of the wing 130 is different for each individual, so the size of the wing 130 can be changed and used. have.

7 and 8 are views for explaining the communication module 300 of the biological signal monitoring apparatus 10 at the time of delivery of livestock according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The communication module 300 includes a temperature sensor 340 that detects the body temperature of livestock in the vagina, a motion sensor 350 that detects the movement of livestock, a heart rate sensor 360 that detects the heart rate of livestock, and transmits signals to the outside. A microcontroller unit 370 that receives a temperature signal from the antenna 380 for the temperature sensor 340, a motion signal from the motion sensor 350, and a heart rate signal from the heart rate sensor 360 and transmits it to the outside through the antenna 380. MCU).

After the communication module 300 and the battery 330 are respectively seated on the core frame 310, the core frame 310 is inserted into the body 110, so that the communication module 300 and the battery 330 ) May be located in the core storage groove 111 and the battery storage groove 113, respectively.

The temperature sensor 340, the motion sensor 350, the heart rate sensor 360, and the MCU 370 may be mounted on a circuit board 320 (PCB) mounted on the core frame 310. The heart rate sensor 360 may be mounted on the circuit board 320, but the heart rate sensor 360 is inserted into a groove formed in the body 110, and the circuit board 320 and the heart rate sensor 360 are connected by a wire. May be.

The antenna 380 is located near the circuit board 320 and can be electrically connected to the MCU 370 through the circuit board 320, and the MCU 370 transmits a biosignal to the outside through the antenna 380. I can.

A hole or an opening 211 may be formed in the protective cover 200 at a position corresponding to the heart rate sensor 360. In the opening 211, a transparent part 230 may be formed of a material such as epoxy. The heart rate sensor 360 may emit light, and the light emitted from the heart rate sensor 360 may pass through the transparent part 230 to be irradiated and reflected on the inner wall of the vagina of the livestock. The heart rate sensor 360 may receive the reflected light to detect or measure the heart rate.

The battery 330 may be electrically connected to the circuit board 320 to supply power for operation to the communication module 300.

When the biological signal monitoring device 10 at the time of delivery of livestock is discharged to the outside of the body at the time of production, a sudden change in temperature is detected by the temperature sensor 340 to accurately alarm the delivery time.

Specifically, in childbirth, the body temperature at the stage of delivery sign is lower than the normal body temperature, and the body temperature rises until the birth period. In addition, the biosignal monitoring device 10 at the time of delivery of livestock at the first wave count in the calculator may be discharged to the outside of the vagina.

In this case, the temperature sensor 340 may detect the air temperature, and the MCU 370 may transmit a temperature signal from the temperature sensor 340 to the outside through the antenna 380. That is, the MCU (370) not only the temperature signal when the biological signal monitoring device 10 is in the vagina at the time of delivery of livestock, but also the temperature signal after the biological signal monitoring device 10 is discharged to the outside of the vagina at the delivery time of livestock. Can send.

An external server may receive such a biological signal including a temperature signal, and the biological signal received by a device such as a server may be analyzed to determine a delivery time or delivery schedule. This will be described further later.

As the motion sensor 350, for example, an acceleration sensor may be used. The motion sensor 350 may detect the movement of the uterus and the gait of the livestock, and the MCU 370 may transmit a motion signal detected by the motion sensor 350 to the outside through the antenna 380. The server can receive these motion signals and analyze them.

Motion detection using an acceleration sensor can predict the delivery time by measuring the movement of livestock as well as the period of labor that occurs from the stage of delivery sign to the output stage, and the analysis of the labor cycle can predict the difficulty of labor.

As a result, it is possible to monitor the current delivery stage and health status by detecting changes in the specific movements of the uterus and the number of gait and patterns of livestock appearing in each delivery stage.

In addition, the MCU 370 may transmit the heart rate signal sensed by the heart rate sensor 360 to the outside through the antenna 380. The server can receive and analyze such heart rate signals.

The heart rate can be used as a health signal for mother animals as an indicator of the overall process of delivery and sudden conditions (difficulty). It is possible to predict an increase in respiration rate that occurs during difficult labor by heart rate. Therefore, by measuring and recording the heart rate during the delivery period, it is possible to distinguish between easy delivery and difficult delivery for delivery.

Accordingly, it is possible to monitor changes in heart rate for each delivery stage, and monitor abnormal signs that may occur during delivery and the exact delivery time.

Correlation between delivery and sensor metrics Item Temperature Heart rate movement Generator (first wave) detection O O O Difficulty O O Detect signs of delivery O O Mother livestock health status O

Referring to Table 1, the calculator (first wave number) has a high correlation with temperature, heart rate, and movement. Difficulty or signs of delivery are highly related to heart rate and movement, and the health status of mother animals is particularly related to heart rate.

As illustrated in Table 1, the biosignal monitoring apparatus 10 at the time of delivery of livestock according to the present embodiment uses multiple biosignals such as temperature, motion, and heart rate, not a single biosignal. Therefore, it is possible to monitor the health of the entire delivery process of livestock and to predict and alarm the exact delivery time.

Accordingly, the biological signal monitoring device 10 at the time of delivery of livestock enables both mother and offspring to have healthy childbirth.

9 is a view showing a device for inserting a biological signal monitoring device during delivery of livestock according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 9, the biosignal monitoring device 10 during delivery of livestock may be inserted into the vagina by the insertion device 500. The insertion device 500 may include an insertion tube 510 and a push part 530.

An inner space is formed in the insertion tube 510 and may be inserted into the inner space from the other end of the body 110 to which the wire 400 is connected. At this time, the connecting portion 131 of the blade 130 of the fixing member 100 is bent, and the plurality of blades 130 may be folded and inserted into the inner space.

In a state in which the user grabs the insertion tube 510 and inserts the insertion tube 510 into the vagina of a livestock, the push unit 530 is the body 110 of the fixing member 100 located in the inner space of the insertion tube 51. It can be manipulated to press the other end. Accordingly, while the fixing member 100 is pushed out from the insertion device 500, it may be introduced into the vagina.

The wings 130 of the fixing member 100 from the insertion tube 510 may be in contact with the vaginal inner wall while being unfolded. Accordingly, the fixing member 100 can be fixed in the vagina. At this time, the body 110 has a diameter that does not pressurize the vaginal inner wall, and since the plurality of wings 130 are supported by the vaginal inner wall, most or at least part of the body 110 is spaced apart from the vaginal inner wall. Therefore, the feeling of pressure given by the fixing member 100 to livestock is remarkably small, and stress can be remarkably reduced.

10 is a block diagram showing a system for monitoring a biological signal during delivery of livestock according to another embodiment of the present invention.

The livestock delivery time biosignal monitoring system includes the livestock delivery time biosignal monitoring device 10 described in FIGS. 1 to 9, and a relay module 600 installed around livestock to receive a biosignal transmitted as an RF signal. And, it may include a server 700 that receives the bio-signal transmitted from the relay module 600, generates delivery information based on the received bio-signal, and transmits it to the user terminal 800.

When the fixing member 100 is in the vagina, the MCU 370 may transmit a biological signal including a temperature signal, a motion signal, and a heart rate signal to the outside through the antenna 380.

During delivery, that is, during the birth period, the wings 130 of the fixing member 100 are closed due to the delivery pressure and the fetus being delivered, and the fixing member 100 may be separated from the vagina of the livestock. At this time, the temperature sensor 340 measures the temperature of the outside air (341), and the MCU 370 may transmit the sensed outside temperature.

The MCU 370 may transmit a bio-signal as an RF signal through the antenna 380, for example, at a frequency of several hundred kilohertz, that is, a low-frequency RF signal. By transmitting a biological signal using such a low-frequency RF signal, it is possible to make the signal transmission easier by reducing the interference of the signal transmission by the body of the livestock.

On the other hand, when the biological signal monitoring device 10 at the time of delivery of livestock is maintained in the vagina, the motion sensor 350 detects a specific motion of the livestock that appears at the time of delivery, for example, an increase in the number of gait (351), The MCU 370 may transmit the motion signal transmitted from the motion sensor 350 to the outside through the antenna 380.

In addition, the heart rate sensor 360 detects a change in the heart rate of livestock that appears at the time of delivery, for example, a surge or increase in heart rate (361), and the MCU 370 transmits a heart rate signal to the outside through the antenna 380 can do. The relay module 600 may receive a biological signal 381 including a temperature signal, a motion signal, and a heart rate signal transmitted from the MCU 370. The relay module 600 may be installed near the outside of livestock. The relay module 600 may amplify the received bio-signal or perform processing necessary for communication and transmit it to the server 700 wirelessly or by wire.

The server 700 may periodically receive the biosignal transmitted from the relay module 600 or may receive it intensively at a specific time.

The server 700 compares the temperature indicated by the temperature signal with a preset value (eg, 36 degrees), and when the temperature is lower than the preset value, the biological signal monitoring device 10 at the time of delivery of livestock is discharged to the outside of the livestock. It can be judged as. That is, in this case, the server 700 may determine that the delivery is started and transmit delivery information indicating the delivery start to the user terminal 800.

On the other hand, the server 700 compares the number of steps indicated by the motion signal or the number of specific movements with a preset motion reference value, and if it is within the range indicating the expected delivery, delivery information corresponding to the corresponding delivery stage (delivery scheduled) May be transmitted to the user terminal 800.

In addition, the server 700 may compare the heart rate indicated by the heart rate signal with a preset reference value, and, if it is greater than or equal to the reference value, transmit delivery information (delivery scheduled) corresponding to the corresponding delivery stage to the user terminal 800.

The server 700 may determine the start of delivery or the scheduled delivery by using biological signals such as temperature signals, motion signals, and heart rate signals individually. Alternatively, a model (software) capable of comprehensively determining the start of delivery or delivery schedule from the interrelationship between these signals can be run on the server 700 by analyzing big data accumulated for the corresponding livestock, and the server (700) may use these models to determine the start of delivery or the scheduled delivery.

The server may transmit delivery information indicating the start of delivery or delivery schedule to the user terminal 800. Accordingly, the user can immediately acquire information on the start or scheduled delivery or health status of livestock.

That is, the user monitors the current stage of delivery or biometric information, or immediately receives an alarm that delivery has started. Therefore, the user can immediately respond and manage the safe delivery of the livestock mother and fetus by taking necessary measures, such as going to the place where the livestock is or watching the video through CCTV.

11 is a view for explaining a process of monitoring and alarming by the biological signal monitoring device 10 at the time of delivery of livestock according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 11, the reference temperature of the biological signal monitoring apparatus 10 at the time of delivery of livestock is set to 36 degrees in the server 700, and monitoring may be performed. Biosignals may be transmitted periodically or whenever a specific event occurs through paths of the sensors, the MCU 370, the antenna 380, the relay module 600, and the server 700.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 11, the user may monitor that the average temperature is maintained at about 38 degrees before 3 hours of delivery by the delivery information transmitted from the server 700 to the user terminal 800.

Thereafter, as described above at the time of delivery, when the biological signal monitoring device 10 at the time of delivery of livestock is discharged to the outside of the body of the livestock, the temperature sensor 340 detects the temperature of the outside air, as shown in FIG. The temperature drops rapidly, and the user receives an alarm that the detection value falls below the set temperature through the server 700, that is, the start of delivery, and the user immediately goes to the livestock house or checks the status of the livestock with CCTV. Can respond.

In the case of motion detection by the acceleration sensor, it is possible to respond similarly to the response method by the temperature sensor 340. For example, when the acceleration sensor detects the number of steps of livestock, and the server 700 determines that the number of steps is increased or is unusual through the above-described signal transmission path, the corresponding delivery stage I, it can alert the user of the expected delivery time.

Likewise, when the server 700 determines that the heart rate is increased from the preset heart rate, the corresponding delivery stage or delivery schedule may be alarmed to the user.

In addition, by combining the body temperature by the temperature sensor 340, the motion by the motion sensor, and the heart rate by the heart rate sensor 360, it is possible to monitor the delivery stage or the expected delivery time and the health status of livestock.

The above description of the present invention is for illustrative purposes only, and those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains will be able to understand that it can be easily modified into other specific forms without changing the technical spirit or essential features of the present invention. will be. Therefore, it should be understood that the embodiments described above are illustrative in all respects and not limiting. For example, each component described as a single type may be implemented in a distributed manner, and similarly, components described as being distributed may also be implemented in a combined form.

The scope of the present invention is indicated by the claims to be described later, and all changes or modified forms derived from the meaning and scope of the claims and their equivalent concepts should be interpreted as being included in the scope of the present invention.
