Description

Foreliggende oppfinnelse vedrører et apparat for påvisningThe present invention relates to an apparatus for detection

av fødselens begynnelse til dyreunger bestående av en tempe-raturføler i form av en sonde som kan innføres i skjeden til hunndyr, hvilken på den ende som vender mot skjedeutgangen har en kabel som kan koples til en sender dyret bærer. of the beginning of the birth of young animals consisting of a temperature sensor in the form of a probe that can be inserted into the vagina of female animals, which on the end facing the vaginal exit has a cable that can be connected to a transmitter the animal carries.

Apparat av nevnte art er kjent. Senderen har en innebygget elektronisk terskelverdi-påviser. Som strømkilde tjener et vanlig handelsbatteri innsatt i senderen, f.eks. et 9 volts alkali-mangan batteri, hvis levetid er ca. 3 måneder. Temperaturverdiene som temperaturføleren måler sendes videre til senderen. Under overskridelse av den forutinnstilte terskelverdi, hvilket er tilfellet når det.gjelder kveg og hopper, f.eks. når fostervannet går, ved svin og sauer når fosteret og dermed sonden utstøtes, avgir senderen sig-naler som oppfanges av en mottaker plassert i stallen. Mottageren utløser så en alarm, f.eks. i form av et akustisk signal eller lyssignal. Alarmapparatet må derunder ikke være plassert i umiddelbar nærhet av mottageren. Det er også mulig å forbinde alarmapparatet via en forbindelsesledning eller gjennom en senderavstand med mottakeren. Apparatus of the aforementioned kind is known. The transmitter has a built-in electronic threshold value indicator. A standard commercial battery inserted in the transmitter serves as the power source, e.g. a 9 volt alkali-manganese battery, whose lifetime is approx. 3 months. The temperature values measured by the temperature sensor are forwarded to the transmitter. During exceeding the preset threshold value, which is the case when it applies to cattle and mares, e.g. when the amniotic fluid breaks, in pigs and sheep when the fetus and thus the probe is expelled, the transmitter emits signals which are picked up by a receiver placed in the stable. The receiver then triggers an alarm, e.g. in the form of an acoustic signal or light signal. The alarm device must not be located in the immediate vicinity of the receiver. It is also possible to connect the alarm device via a connection cable or through a transmitter distance with the receiver.

Apparater av den innledningsvis nevnte type har den ulempeDevices of the initially mentioned type have the disadvantage

at sondai meget lett utilsiktet faller ut av skjeden eller trekkes ut av denne. Dette fører til at når terskelverdien ligger høyere enn den vanlige temperatur, gis det overhodet ikke lenger noen alarm ved fødselens begynnelse og når terskelverdien ligger under den vanlige temperatur, gis falsk alarm. that the probe very easily accidentally falls out of the vagina or is pulled out of it. This means that when the threshold value is higher than the normal temperature, no alarm is given at all at the beginning of labor and when the threshold value is below the normal temperature, a false alarm is given.

Formålet ved foreliggende oppfinnelse er å utforme apparatThe purpose of the present invention is to design an apparatus

av den innledningsvis nevnte art slik at sonden ikke utilsiktet faller ut av skjeden og ikke kan trekkes ut av denne. of the type mentioned at the outset so that the probe does not accidentally fall out of the vagina and cannot be pulled out of it.

Denne oppgave løses i det vesentlige ved at sonden har en radialt anordnet rundtgående flens. This task is essentially solved by the probe having a radially arranged circumferential flange.

Sonden med den radialt anordnede, rundtgående flens skyves, gjerne ved hjelp av en applikator, så dypt inn i skjeden The probe with the radially arranged, circumferential flange is then pushed, preferably with the aid of an applicator, deep into the vagina

I IN

at dyret ikke mer kan støte den ut ved normalt presstrykk. Sonden kan nå bare tilsiktet trekkes ut av skjeden fordi flensen hindrer at den glir ut eller trekkes ut uten merk- that the animal can no longer push it out under normal pressure. The probe can now only be intentionally pulled out of the vagina because the flange prevents it from slipping out or being pulled out without notice.

bar motstand. Hensiktsmessig er sonden utformet langstrakt,bare resistance. Appropriately, the probe is designed elongated,

og innføringsenden har form som en kulekappe. Flensen er da anordnet loddrett på sondens lengdeakse. Derunder bør flensen være løsbart forbundet med sonden for å lette ren-sing og lett kunne skifte ut beskadigede flenser. Dette er en fordel når sonden har et radialt anordnet, rundtgående spor, hvori den da ringskiveformede flens er innsatt. Derunder er det fordelaktig å utforme flensen som rosett, spesielt kløverbladrosett. Består flensen av elastisk materiale, spesielt av gummi, lettes innsettingen fordi segmentene til den rosettformede flens da kan bøyes bakover sett fra innføringsenden. Men også en utilsiktet utstøtning vanskelig-gjøres, fordi rosettens segmenter da må bøye seg i den mot-satte retning. Rosettene bør være fremstilt av materiale som er motstandsdyktig overfor fekalier, kroppsvæsker uavhengig av hvilken type osv. and the insertion end has the shape of a ball cap. The flange is then arranged vertically on the longitudinal axis of the probe. Below that, the flange should be releasably connected to the probe to facilitate cleaning and to be able to easily replace damaged flanges. This is an advantage when the probe has a radially arranged, circumferential groove, in which the annular disk-shaped flange is inserted. Below that, it is advantageous to design the flange as a rosette, especially a cloverleaf rosette. If the flange consists of elastic material, especially rubber, insertion is facilitated because the segments of the rosette-shaped flange can then be bent backwards as seen from the insertion end. But an accidental ejection is also made difficult, because the segments of the rosette must then bend in the opposite direction. The rosettes should be made of material that is resistant to faeces, body fluids regardless of the type, etc.

er langstrakt. Innføringsenden 4 er utformet som kulekappe for å lette innføringen. Sonden 1 har et rundtgående spor 3. En flens 2 griper inn i dette sporet 3, gjennom hvis sentrale gjennombrudd 9 sonden 1 føres. Flensen 2 er rosettformet og består av elastisk materiale. Spesielt ved innsetning av sonden buer flensens 2 segmenter bakover fra innføringsenden 4, slik at innsetning av sonden 1 blir betydelig lettere. Utilsiktet kan sonden 1 praktisk ikke fjernes fra skjeden is elongated. The insertion end 4 is designed as a ball cap to facilitate insertion. The probe 1 has a circumferential groove 3. A flange 2 engages in this groove 3, through whose central opening 9 the probe 1 is guided. The flange 2 is rosette-shaped and consists of elastic material. Especially when inserting the probe, the segments of the flange 2 curve backwards from the insertion end 4, so that inserting the probe 1 becomes significantly easier. Accidentally, the probe 1 cannot practically be removed from the vagina

6 bøyes i retning mot innføringsenden 4, hvilket ikke er praktisk mulig uten betydelig kraftforbruk. Sonden 1 har en kabel på enden som vender vekk fra innføringsenden, hvilken stikker ut av skjeden 8 og blir ført langs dyrets kropp frem til senderen som er innsatt i bæreselen 5. Kabelen 11 er løsbart forbundet med senderen. Gjennom kabelen 11 er trådene til temperaturtøleren som er utformet som sonde ført. Ved utstøtning av første foster 12 fra livmoren 13 støtes sonden 1 samtidig ut. Fordi moderdyrets kroppstempe-ratur i alminnelighet ligger betydelig høyere enn den ut-vendige temperatur, underskrides terskelverdien som senderen er innstilt på. Senderen avgir et tilsvarende signal som opp-tas av mottageren, hvilket utløser alarmen. 6 is bent in the direction towards the insertion end 4, which is not practically possible without considerable power consumption. The probe 1 has a cable at the end facing away from the insertion end, which protrudes from the sheath 8 and is led along the animal's body to the transmitter which is inserted in the carrier 5. The cable 11 is releasably connected to the transmitter. The wires of the temperature sensor, which is designed as a probe, are routed through the cable 11. When the first fetus 12 is ejected from the uterus 13, the probe 1 is ejected at the same time. Because the mother animal's body temperature is generally significantly higher than the outside temperature, the threshold value to which the transmitter is set is undercut. The transmitter emits a corresponding signal which is picked up by the receiver, which triggers the alarm.
