Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wildlife protection and poultry farming equipment technology, specifically a cage for the rewilding of red-crowned cranes. Background Technology

[0002] The red-crowned crane is a Class I protected wild animal in China, and the reintroduction of artificially bred red-crowned cranes into the wild is an important means of restoring wild populations. Wilding training requires a balance between artificial intervention and natural adaptation, and the design of the wilding enclosures, as the core training environment, directly affects the success or failure of the wilding process.

[0003] The existing enclosures for the rewilding of red-crowned cranes have the following technical defects: (1) The basic structure is not suitable for wetland environment: Traditional cage foundations are mostly made of general concrete and are not designed for the geological characteristics of wetlands such as "thick silt layer, low bearing capacity and easy settlement". Long-term use is prone to column tilting and frame stress concentration cracking, which not only affects the life of the cage, but also causes deformation of the activity space of red-crowned cranes and increases the risk of collision.

[0004] (2) Simple protective structure: Most of them are single-layer nets with simple fixing methods, which pose risks such as net collapse, red-crowned crane wings getting caught, and small natural enemies (such as badgers) digging holes to invade. The safety protection coverage is not comprehensive.

[0005] (3) Insufficient wilding training function: The feeding point is fixed and there is no "reduction intervention" mechanism, which leads to the high dependence of red-crowned cranes on artificial feeding and makes it difficult to cultivate their ability to forage independently; the cage environment is very different from the wild habitat, which is not conducive to the cultivation of wild adaptability.

[0006] (4) Low level of intelligence: Traditional cage management relies on manual inspections, lacks real-time monitoring and precise environmental control equipment, makes it difficult to grasp the dynamics of red-crowned cranes, and cannot simulate changes in sunlight in the wild, affecting the stability of the physiological rhythm of red-crowned cranes. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cage for the wilding of red-crowned cranes, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A wild enclosure for red-crowned cranes includes: a main frame module, which is composed of galvanized square tube main beams and core load-bearing columns. The main beams are made of 80×80×6mm galvanized square tubes arranged at 3m intervals along an arc. The core load-bearing columns are made of 299×10mm seamless steel pipes, buried 6m underground and 6.3m above ground. The safety protection module includes a double-layer composite mesh on the facade and a top mesh. The double-layer composite mesh on the facade consists of an inner polyethylene mesh and an outer stainless steel protective mesh. The top mesh is a single-layer mesh and is reinforced by steel wire ropes. The core functional area retains the tidal creek to provide wild habitat and natural food sources for red-crowned cranes; The intelligent management module includes at least one PTZ camera and at least one LED light for real-time monitoring and lighting supplementation; The underground foundation module uses a reinforced concrete pipe and gravel filling structure, extending ≥5m underground, and is sealed with a steel plate at the top.

[0009] Preferably, the main beam is arranged along an arc with a radius of 20m to form a stress-dispersing system; the core load-bearing column has a ground height of 6.3m, which is lower than the critical height required for the red-crowned crane to take off.

[0010] Preferably, the main beam and the core load-bearing column are fixed by 50×3mm galvanized flat iron and M12 high-strength bolts, with no less than 2 bolts at each connection point.

[0011] Preferably, the inner polyethylene mesh is 45-strength polyethylene mesh with a mesh size of 20×20mm; the outer stainless steel protective mesh is 20×20×3mm stainless steel mesh; the double mesh is fixed with 50×3mm galvanized flat iron every 3m horizontally and every 2m vertically, and the bottom is seamlessly connected to the underground foundation.

[0012] Preferably, the top net is reinforced by pulling No. 6 steel wire ropes along the main beam in the transverse and longitudinal directions at a spacing of 3m. The two ends of the steel wire ropes are fixed to the core load-bearing column by M8 wire tensioners, and each steel wire rope is equipped with 4 M6 claws to clamp the net body.

[0013] Preferably, the cage door is made of woven stainless steel protective mesh with a mesh size of 10×10cm, and the material is the same as that of the outer stainless steel protective mesh.

[0014] Preferably, the PTZ camera has 4 megapixels, supports 23x optical zoom, has an IP66 protection rating, and is equipped with 6000V lightning protection, surge protection, and transient protection functions. It conforms to the GB / T17626.2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 Level 4 standard, and is equipped with a 128G storage card and a 3-year data card. It is connected to the management terminal via a cable.

[0015] Preferably, the LED lights are 50W time-controlled LED lights, arranged at intervals of 5-6m along the edge of the cage, installed on the protective netting on the facade, and connected to a time-controlled switch via cable.

[0016] Preferably, the reinforced concrete pipe is a 200×5.5mm C35 reinforced concrete pipe, filled with graded crushed stone with a compaction coefficient of 0.95, and the upper end is fully welded with a 4mm thick Q235 steel plate (15). Four 14mm thick reinforcing feet are added at the weld between the steel plate and the core load-bearing column. The weld foot size is not less than K6. After welding, two coats of epoxy zinc-rich paint are applied for corrosion protection.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a cage for the rewilding of red-crowned cranes, which has the following beneficial effects: (1) The red-crowned crane rewilding enclosure, through the coordinated design of the main frame module and the underground foundation module, forms a high-strength support structure adapted to wetland silt geology, effectively solving the problems of foundation settlement and frame deformation of traditional enclosures. The core load-bearing column is buried 6m underground and adopts a reinforced concrete pipe + crushed stone filling structure, which has excellent anti-settlement performance; the ground height of 6.3m is precisely matched with the physiological characteristics of red-crowned cranes, which is below the critical take-off height, reducing the take-off escape rate to 0, while meeting the needs of red-crowned cranes for ground activities and short-distance jumping, which not only ensures structural stability but also improves the safety of rewilding training.

[0018] (2) This red-crowned crane rewilding enclosure, relying on the double-layer composite net design of the safety protection module, achieves dual protection against collisions and predators, completely solving the problem of incomplete protection by traditional single-layer nets. The inner layer of polyethylene netting has a mesh size of 20×20mm to prevent the red-crowned crane's wings from snagging and colliding; the outer layer of stainless steel protective netting has a mesh size of 20×20×3mm to resist the invasion of predators such as badgers; the top netting is reinforced by steel wire ropes to prevent the netting from collapsing; the bottom of the enclosure is seamlessly connected to the underground foundation to prevent small predators from digging holes and invading, reducing the collision injury rate to 0 and the predator injury rate to 0, thus comprehensively ensuring the safety of the red-crowned crane.

[0019] (3) This red-crowned crane rewilding enclosure, through the design of preserving the tidal ditch in the core functional area, realizes the simulation of the wild habitat and guides independent foraging, effectively solving the problem of insufficient rewilding training functions in traditional enclosures. The preserved tidal ditch naturally grows aquatic plants and benthic organisms, providing red-crowned cranes with a real wild environment and natural food sources, guiding them to develop independent foraging abilities, gradually reducing artificial feeding intervention, realizing a gradient reduction in rewilding training, and significantly improving the rewilding success rate.

[0020] (4) This red-crowned crane rewilding enclosure, relying on the intelligent management module's camera and LED light design, achieves intelligent management through remote monitoring and lighting simulation, effectively solving the problem of traditional enclosure management relying on manual inspections. Two PTZ cameras installed at the highest points on the north and south sides enable blind-spot-free monitoring of the entire enclosure, allowing real-time tracking of the red-crowned cranes' movements; two time-controlled LED lights simulate changes in sunlight in the wild, stabilizing the cranes' physiological rhythms; remote monitoring reduces manual inspections and interventions, minimizing human interference and providing intelligent management methods for rewilding training.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0025] This invention provides the following technical solutions: Example 1 Please see Figure 1-4 A type of enclosure for the rewilding of red-crowned cranes, comprising: The main frame module consists of galvanized square tube main beam 1 and core load-bearing column 2. The main beam 1 is made of galvanized square tubes of 80×80×6mm arranged at 3m intervals along the arc. The core load-bearing column 2 is made of 299×10mm seamless steel pipe, buried 6m underground and 6.3m above ground. The safety protection module includes a double-layer composite mesh on the facade and a top mesh 5. The double-layer composite mesh on the facade consists of an inner polyethylene mesh 3 and an outer stainless steel protective mesh 4. The top mesh 5 is a single-layer mesh, which is reinforced by steel wire ropes 6. The core functional area retains 13 tidal channels to provide wild habitats and natural food sources for red-crowned cranes; The intelligent management module includes two PTZ cameras 11 and two LED lights 12 for real-time monitoring and lighting supplementation; The underground foundation module uses reinforced concrete pipe 14 and crushed stone filling structure, extending ≥5m underground, and is sealed with steel plate 15 at the top.

[0026] Through the coordinated design of the main frame module and the underground foundation module, a high-strength support structure adapted to wetland silt geology is formed, effectively solving the problems of foundation settlement and frame deformation in traditional cages. The core load-bearing column 2 is buried 6m underground and adopts a reinforced concrete pipe 14 + crushed stone filling structure, which has excellent anti-settlement performance; the ground height of 6.3m is precisely matched with the physiological characteristics of red-crowned cranes, which is below the critical takeoff height, reducing the takeoff escape rate to 0, while meeting the needs of red-crowned cranes for ground activities and short-distance jumping.

[0027] The main beam 1 is arranged along an arc with a radius of 20m, forming a stress-dispersing system. The main beam 1 is fixed to the core load-bearing column 2 by 50×3mm galvanized flat iron 9 and M12 high-strength bolts, with no less than 2 bolts at each connection point.

[0028] Example 2 Please see Figure 1-6 Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, the detailed structure of the security protection module is obtained: The inner layer of polyethylene netting 3 is made of 45-strength polyethylene with a mesh size of 20×20mm to prevent the wings of red-crowned cranes from snagging and getting injured. The outer layer of stainless steel protective netting 4 is made of 20×20×3mm stainless steel to resist invasion by predators such as badgers. The double-layer netting is fixed every 3m horizontally and every 2m vertically with 50×3mm galvanized flat iron 9, and the bottom is seamlessly connected to the underground foundation to prevent small predators from digging holes to invade.

[0029] The top net 5 is reinforced by pulling No. 6 steel wire ropes 6 along the main beam 1 in the transverse and longitudinal directions at a spacing of 3m. The steel wire ropes 6 are covered with plastic sleeves for corrosion protection. Both ends are fixed to the core load-bearing column 2 by M8 wire tensioners 7. Each steel wire rope 6 is equipped with 4 M6 claws 8 to clamp the net body and prevent the net body from collapsing.

[0030] The cage gate 10 is made of woven stainless steel protective mesh with a mesh size of 10×10cm. It is made of the same material as the outer layer of stainless steel protective mesh 4 on the facade and is fixed to the door frame with M10 stainless steel bolts. This can effectively prevent the red-crowned cranes from being injured by collisions and resist the invasion of natural enemies.

[0031] The double-layer composite net design based on the safety protection module achieves dual protection against collisions and predators, completely solving the problem of incomplete protection by traditional single-layer nets. The collision injury rate is reduced to 0, the predator injury rate is reduced to 0, and the safety of red-crowned cranes is fully guaranteed.

[0032] Example 3 Please see Figure 7 Furthermore, based on Example 1, the detailed structure of the intelligent management module is obtained: The PTZ camera 11 is 4 megapixels and installed at the highest point on the north and south sides of the enclosure. It supports 23x optical zoom, has an IP66 protection rating, and features 6000V lightning protection, surge protection, and transient protection. It meets GB / T17626.2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 Level 4 standards and has an operating temperature range of -30℃ to 60℃. Each camera is equipped with a 128GB storage card and a 3-year data card (annual data allowance ≥100GB). It is connected to the management terminal via an 80MB V2.5 cable, enabling full-area, blind-spot-free monitoring of the enclosure and real-time tracking of the red-crowned cranes' movements.

[0033] LED lights 12 are 50W time-controlled LED lights, arranged at intervals of 5-6m along the edge of the cage and installed on the protective netting on the facade. They are connected to a time-controlled switch via a 90m BV2.5 cable and can automatically switch on and off according to sunrise and sunset times to simulate changes in sunlight in the wild and stabilize the physiological rhythm of the red-crowned cranes.

[0034] By leveraging the camera and LED light design of the intelligent management module, intelligent management with remote monitoring and lighting simulation is achieved, effectively solving the problem of traditional cage management relying on manual inspections, reducing manual intervention and minimizing human interference.

[0035] Example 4 Please see Figure 3-4 Furthermore, based on Example 1, the detailed structure of the underground foundation module is obtained: The reinforced concrete pipe 14 is a 200×5.5mm C35 reinforced concrete pipe, extending at least 5m underground. The pipe is filled with graded crushed stone with a compaction coefficient of 0.95. The upper end is fully welded to the wall using a 4mm thick Q235 steel plate 15. Four 14mm thick reinforcing feet 16, each 15cm×10cm in size, are added at the weld between the steel plate 15 and the core load-bearing column 2. The weld foot size is not less than K6. After welding, two coats of epoxy zinc-rich paint are applied for corrosion protection.

[0036] Through the special design of the underground foundation module, it is adapted to wetland silt geology, has excellent anti-settlement performance, ensures the overall structural stability of the cage, and extends its service life to more than 15 years.

[0037] Actual usage process In actual operation, when this device is used: The main frame module and the underground foundation module work together to form a high-strength support structure, ensuring the long-term stability of the enclosures in the wetland environment. The core load-bearing column 2, with a ground height of 6.3m, is precisely matched to the physiological characteristics of the red-crowned crane, preventing it from taking off and escaping.

[0038] When red-crowned cranes are in their enclosures, the double-layered mesh structure of the safety protection module provides comprehensive protection: the inner polyethylene mesh 3 prevents collisions, the outer stainless steel protective mesh 4 defends against predators, the top mesh 5 is reinforced by steel wire ropes 6 to prevent collapse, and the bottom of the fence is seamlessly connected to prevent digging and intrusion.

[0039] The tidal ditch 13 in the core functional area preserves naturally growing aquatic plants and benthic organisms, providing red-crowned cranes with an authentic wild environment and natural food sources, guiding them to develop their ability to forage independently, and gradually reducing artificial feeding intervention.

[0040] The intelligent management module's PTZ camera 11 monitors the red-crowned cranes' activity status in real time, reducing manual patrols and interventions; the LED light 12 simulates changes in sunlight in the wild, stabilizing the red-crowned cranes' physiological rhythms and realizing intelligent management of wild training.

[0041] Through the synergistic effect of the above structures, the red-crowned crane rewilding enclosure achieves the beneficial effects of structural stability, comprehensive protection, rewilding adaptation, and intelligent management, greatly improving the efficiency and success rate of red-crowned crane rewilding training.
