Abstract

An ear tag for recognizing livestock individual is provided. The ear tag for recognizing livestock individual according to the present invention includes a cover unit including a first cover unit and a second cover unit, where the first cover unit faces a skin side of livestock, and the first cover unit and the second cover unit integrally coupled with each other, a wireless communication unit arranged between the first cover unit and the second cover unit and including at least one wireless communication chip, a male plug configured to penetrate through a part of a body of the livestock and a through hole formed on the first cover unit and including a distal end configured to be engaged with a space of a female unit formed on the second cover unit, and a folding portion including at least one first folding line formed in a groove with a predetermined length on an outer surface of the cover unit between a head area of the cover unit corresponding to the male plug and a body area of the cover unit corresponding to the wireless communication unit to allow a stress caused by an external force to be concentrated on the folding portion so that the cover unit is folded along the first folding line when the cover unit is bent.

Claims (21)

1. An ear tag for recognizing livestock individual, comprising:

a cover unit including a first cover unit and a second cover unit, the first cover unit facing a skin side of livestock, the first cover unit and the second cover unit integrally coupled with each other;

a wireless communication unit arranged between the first cover unit and the second cover unit and including at least one wireless communication chip;

a male plug configured to penetrate through a part of a body of the livestock and a through hole formed on the first cover unit and including a distal end configured to be engaged with a space of a female unit formed on the second cover unit;

a folding portion including at least one second folding line formed in a groove with a predetermined length on the cover unit in an area close to the wireless communication chip without being overlapped with the wireless communication chip and corresponding to the wireless communication unit to allow a stress caused by an external force to be concentrated on the folding portion so that the cover unit is folded along the second folding line when the cover unit is bent; and

wherein the second folding line includes an oblique line having a predetermined angle with a virtual vertical line passing the wireless communication chip.

2. The ear tag for recognizing livestock individual according to claim 1 , wherein the second folding line is formed on the cover unit on one side corresponding to the wireless communication chip included in the wireless communication unit.

3. The ear tag for recognizing livestock individual according to claim 1 , wherein the second folding line is formed with both ends extended to respective outer edges of the cover unit.

4. The ear tag for recognizing livestock individual according to claim 1 , further comprising an embossed portion convex by a predetermined height on the outer surface of the cover unit corresponding to the wireless communication chip.

5. An ear tag for recognizing livestock individual, comprising:

a cover unit including a first cover unit and a second cover unit, the first cover unit facing a skin side of livestock, the first cover unit and the second cover unit integrally coupled with each other;

a wireless communication unit arranged between the first cover unit and the second cover unit and including at least one wireless communication chip;

a male plug configured to penetrate through a part of a body of the livestock and a through hole formed on the first cover unit and including a distal end configured to be engaged with a space of a female unit formed on the second cover unit;

a folding portion including at least one second folding line formed in a groove with a predetermined length on the cover unit in an area close to the wireless communication chip without being overlapped with the wireless communication chip and corresponding to the wireless communication unit to allow a stress caused by an external force to be concentrated on the folding portion so that the cover unit is folded along the second folding line when the cover unit is bent; and

wherein the second folding line includes a plurality of oblique lines having predetermined angles in opposite directions with a virtual vertical line passing the wireless communication chip in a manner that the plurality of oblique lines intersect with each other around the wireless communication chip.

6. An ear tag for recognizing livestock individual, comprising:

a cover unit including a first cover unit and a second cover unit, the first cover unit facing a skin side of livestock, the first cover unit and the second cover unit integrally coupled with each other;

a wireless communication unit arranged between the first cover unit and the second cover unit and including at least one wireless communication chip;

a male plug configured to penetrate through a part of a body of the livestock and a through hole formed on the first cover unit and including a distal end configured to be engaged with a space of a female unit formed on the second cover unit; and

a folding portion including at least one second folding line formed in a groove with a predetermined length on the cover unit in an area close to the wireless communication chip without being overlapped with the wireless communication chip and corresponding to the wireless communication unit to allow a stress caused by external force to be concentrated on the folding portion so that the cover unit is folded along the second folding line when the cover unit is bent; and

wherein the second folding line includes a vertical line parallel to a virtual vertical line passing the wireless communication chip.
