Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of bird bite force testing, and in particular relates to a bird bite force testing device. Background Art

[0002] The diet of birds is the main driving force affecting the evolution of their beak shape, and differences in beak shape can be reflected in their bite force, and various physical indicators of different individuals may also be closely related to their bite force. Male birds are often more aggressive than female birds due to the need to protect their territory and compete for mates. Many scholars believe that the bite force of an animal can be used as an indicator of its aggressiveness. Previous research on the bite force of animals has mainly focused on mammals and reptiles, while there has been little research on the bite force of birds. This study is the first in China to apply a bite force meter to bird research. Combined with netting technology, by comparing the bite force of mountain sparrows and tree sparrows, the impact of differences in diet, physical indicators, and living environment on their bite force was analyzed. At the same time, the difference in bite force between males and females in the same population was compared to verify the relationship between the aggressive personality traits of individuals of different genders and their bite force.

[0003] The problem with the existing technology is that when testing the bite force of birds, we can consider the aspect of bird foraging and detect the bite force of birds on things. In order to ensure the accuracy of the data, we must ensure that the data can be monitored in real time, and during the test, the birds may not cooperate. Therefore, traditional devices can no longer meet people's daily work needs. Therefore, we propose a bird bite force testing device. Summary of the Invention

When in use, the positioning rod connected to the first spring is pulled to remove the positioning rod from the mounting plate, and then the baffle and the mounting plate are removed from the mounting shell. Then, the food is passed inside the mounting assembly, and the bird is placed on the surface of the standing assembly. When the bird successfully bites the food, the elastic function of the standing assembly is utilized to allow the bird to fly with the food in its mouth.

When the fixed plate is rotated to the appropriate position, the second spring will push the sensor to be inserted into the fixed plate. When the bird flies with food in its mouth, the movable ball at one end of the first pull rope will move in the movable shell, which facilitates the rotation angle and improves flexibility.

When in use, the threaded block is unscrewed from the feeding rod. When the food is passed through the surface of the feeding rod, the threaded block is installed. Subsequently, the first torsion spring drives the connecting plate to rotate with the first rotating rod as the center. During the rotation, the clamping plate is driven to stick to the fixed block and the surface of the threaded block. Next, the fixed plate on the surface of the movable rod is rotated, and the fixed plate drives the clamping plate to be clamped inside the casing. The clamping plate and the casing can be well installed and fixed and will not fall off easily, thereby achieving the effect of facilitating the placement of bait and the installation of the detection component.

[0018] 4. The present invention is designed with a base plate, an electric push rod, a rotating column, a second torsion spring, a fixed shell, a standing plate, a second rotating rod, a movable plate, a positioning plate, a rectangular ring and a second pull rope. When the electric push rod drives the fixed shell to move upward, the standing plate will synchronously drive the movable plate to move up, so that the positioning plate at one end of the movable plate is firmly hung inside the base plate, preventing the second torsion spring from driving the standing plate to flip upward. During the bite force test, the bird is placed on the surface of the standing plate.

When the bird successfully bites the food, the elastic function of the standing component 9 is used to let the bird fly while shouting about the food. During the flying process, the bite force generated will be detected and displayed by the detection component 7. The moment when the bird releases its mouth and flies away is the final test result. In order to improve the accuracy, multiple tests can be performed. When rice needs to be used for testing, a smaller feeding rod 803 can be used to insert the rice. Feeding rods 803 of different specifications can be selected according to needs, thereby achieving the effect of facilitating the testing of the bite force of the bird.

[0029] refer to Figure 4 The detection component 7 includes a movable shell 707, and two groups of movable shells 707 are respectively fixedly connected to the two sides of the inner wall of the bottom shell 1. The two groups of movable shells 707 are movably connected with movable balls 706, and one side of the surface of the two groups of movable balls 706 is fixedly connected to the first pull rope 705; one end of the two groups of first pull ropes 705 is fixedly connected to the mounting block 702, and the two groups of mounting blocks 702 are movably connected with two groups of sensors 701, and the two groups of sensors 701 are commonly fixedly connected to the mounting block 702 with a second spring 703, and one side of the surface of the two groups of mounting blocks 702 is fixedly connected to a display 704.

[0030] The above scheme is adopted: through the design of sensor 701, mounting block 702, second spring 703, display 704, first pull rope 705, movable ball 706 and movable shell 707, when the fixed plate 809 is rotated to the appropriate position, the second spring 703 will push the sensor 701 to be plugged into the fixed plate 809. When the bird calls for food and flies up, the movable ball 706 at one end of the first pull rope 705 will move in the movable shell 707, which facilitates the rotation angle and improves flexibility. The size of the bite force generated will be sensed by the sensor 701 and displayed on the display 704, thereby achieving the effect of facilitating real-time detection of the size of the bird's bite force.

[0031] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , one side of the surface of the two groups of mounting blocks 702 are fixedly connected with a movable rod 810, and the surfaces of the two groups of movable rods 810 are movably connected with a fixed plate 809, and the fixed plate 809 and the sensor 701 are detachably connected; three groups of first rotating rods 808 are fixedly connected in the two groups of fixing plates 809, and the surfaces of the three groups of first rotating rods 808 are sleeved with first torsion springs 807, and the surfaces of the three groups of first torsion springs 807 are fixedly connected with a connecting plate 806, and one end of the three groups of connecting plates 806 are fixedly connected with a clamping plate 805; the surfaces of the three groups of clamping plates 805 are detachably connected with the card shells 802, wherein the three groups of card shells 802 are commonly fixedly connected with the fixed block 801, and the other three groups of card shells 802 are commonly fixedly connected with the threaded block 804, and a feeding rod 803 is commonly provided between the threaded block 804 and the fixed block 801, and the feeding rod 803 and the threaded block 804 are threaded.

[0032] The above scheme is adopted: through the design of fixed block 801, card shell 802, feeding rod 803, threaded block 804, card plate 805, connecting plate 806, first torsion spring 807, first rotating rod 808, fixed plate 809 and movable rod 810, when in use, the threaded block 804 is unscrewed from the feeding rod 803, and when the food is passed through the surface of the feeding rod 803, the threaded block 804 is installed again. Subsequently, the first torsion spring 807 drives the connecting plate 806 to rotate around the first rotating rod 808 as the center. During the rotation process, the card plate 805 is driven to be close to the surface of the fixed block 801 and the threaded block 804, and then the fixed plate 809 on the surface of the movable rod 810 is rotated. The fixed plate 809 drives the card plate 805 to be clamped inside the card shell 802, and the card plate 805 and the card shell 802 can be well installed and fixed and will not fall off easily, thereby achieving the effect of facilitating the placement of bait and the installation of the detection component 7.

[0033] refer to Figure 5The standing component 9 includes a base plate 901, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bottom shell 1. Two groups of electric push rods 902 are fixedly connected to one side of the upper surface of the base plate 901, and the piston ends of the two groups of electric push rods 902 are commonly fixedly connected to a fixed shell 905; a rotating column 903 is fixedly connected to the fixed shell 905, and a second torsion spring 904 is sleeved on the surface of the rotating column 903. The surface of the second torsion spring 904 is fixedly connected to a standing plate 906, and two groups of second rotating rods 907 are fixedly connected to the standing plate 906; the surfaces of the two groups of second rotating rods 907 are movably connected to movable plates 908, and one side of the surfaces of the two groups of movable plates 908 are fixedly connected to a positioning plate 909, and the other side of the surfaces of the two groups of movable plates 908 are fixedly connected to rectangular rings 910, and the surfaces of the two groups of rectangular rings 910 are fixedly connected to second pull ropes 911.

[0034] The above solution is adopted: through the design of the bottom plate 901, the electric push rod 902, the rotating column 903, the second torsion spring 904, the fixed shell 905, the standing plate 906, the second rotating rod 907, the movable plate 908, the positioning plate 909, the rectangular ring 910 and the second pull rope 911, when the electric push rod 902 drives the fixed shell 905 to move upward, the standing plate 906 will simultaneously drive the movable plate 908 to move upward, so that the positioning plate 909 at one end of the movable plate 908 is firmly hung inside the bottom plate 901, preventing the second torsion spring 904 from driving the standing plate 906 to move upward. Flip up, during the bite force test, place the bird on the surface of the standing board 906. When the time is right, release the use of the electric push rod 902 and pull the second pull rope 911, so that the second pull rope 911 pulls the rectangular ring 910 and drives the movable board 908 to rotate using the second rotating rod 907. When the positioning plate 909 is taken out of the bottom plate 901, the second torsion spring 904 will drive the standing board 906 to rotate using the rotating column 903, so that the bird on the standing board 906 flies upward, thereby achieving the effect of facilitating the test of the bird's bite force.

[0035] Working principle of the present invention:

[0036] When in use, after rotating the fixing plate 809 to the appropriate position, the second spring 703 will push the sensor 701 to be plugged into the fixing plate 809. When the bird calls for food and flies up, the movable ball 706 at one end of the first pull rope 705 will move in the movable shell 707, which is convenient for rotating angle and improves flexibility. The size of the bite force generated will be sensed by the sensor 701 and displayed on the display 704. The threaded block 804 is unscrewed from the feeding rod 803. When the food is threaded on the surface of the feeding rod 803, the threaded block 804 is installed again. Subsequently, the first torsion spring 807 drives the connecting plate 806 to rotate with the first rotating rod 808 as the center. During the rotation process, the card plate 805 is driven to stick to the surface of the fixing block 801 and the threaded block 804. Next, the fixing plate 809 on the surface of the movable rod 810 is rotated, and the fixed plate 809 drives the card plate 805 to engage When the positioning plate 909 is removed from the bottom plate 901, the second torsion spring 904 will drive the standing plate 906 to rotate using the rotating column 903, causing the bird on the standing plate 906 to fly upward.

In order to ensure the accuracy of the data, it is necessary to ensure that the data can be monitored in real time, and when conducting the test, the birds may not cooperate, so traditional devices can no longer meet people's daily work needs.
