[0027] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the utility model, the utility model is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the utility model, and the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0029] Example:

[0030] like Figure 1-4 As shown, in this embodiment, an enrichment device for a zoo is provided, which is used in an animal activity area of ​​a zoo, specifically, is set on a wall 1 close to an animal activity area of ​​a zoo, and includes a plurality of enrichment components 2 that are spliced ​​and connected;

[0031] The enrichment component 2 includes a component frame 201, wherein two or more enrichment spaces 202 are provided in the component frame 201, a first through hole portion 203 is provided at one end of the enrichment space 202, and an enrichment opening portion 204 is provided at the other end;

[0032] A driving device is provided on the component frame 201 , and a support plate 205 is provided at a driving end of the driving device. The driving end of the driving device drives the support plate 205 to move in the enrichment space 202 .

[0033] The above usage scenario is specifically set on one side of the wall close to the keeper's activity room, and the other side of the wall is the animal activity area of ​​the zoo. The wall is provided with a second through hole portion 102 corresponding to the first through hole portion 203. When the above-mentioned enrichment device is placed at the wall position, and the first through hole portion 203 is aligned with the position of the second through hole portion 102, food and other components that can interact with the animal can be placed on the supporting plate 205. The animal itself is specifically an elephant. The elephant's nose can enter the enrichment space 202 through the first through hole portion 203 and the second through hole portion 102 to grab food and interact, and the supporting plate 205 can move in the enrichment space 202. This can adapt to elephants with different nose lengths and increase the interactivity with the movement of the elephant's nose to meet different usage needs.

[0034] The driving device of this embodiment includes a driving motor 206, a driving screw 207 and a guide rod 208. The driving screw 207 and the guide rod 208 are arranged in the enrichment space 202. The driving screw 207 is rotatably matched with the component frame 201. One end of the driving screw 207 extends out from the enrichment space 202 and is connected to the driving end of the driving motor 206. The supporting plate 205 is threadedly matched with the driving screw 207 and slidably matched with the guide rod 208.

[0035] Specifically, there are two driving screws 207 , the driving end of the driving motor 206 is connected to one of the driving screws 207 , a linkage chain 212 is provided between the two driving screws 207 , and there are more than two guide rods 208 which are provided between the two driving screws 207 .

[0036] The driving motor 206 of this embodiment drives the object-carrying plate 205 to move in the enrichment space 202 by rotating the driving screw 207. The structure of the guide rod 208 can ensure the stability of the movement of the object-carrying plate 205. The above driving structure using the screw rod can ensure the stability and reliability of the movement of the object-carrying plate 205.

[0037] In this embodiment, a connecting passage 211 is provided between the upper and lower adjacent enrichment spaces 202. By providing the connecting passage 211, the trunk of the elephant can move in the adjacent enrichment spaces 202, thereby increasing the moving space for the trunk of the elephant.

[0038] In this embodiment, an enrichment door 209 is provided at the enrichment opening 204, and the enrichment door 209 is used to close the enrichment opening 204. The provided enrichment door 209 can change the opening and closing state of the enrichment opening 204. When the enrichment door 209 is in an open state, it is convenient for the breeder to add food to the enrichment space 202. When the enrichment door 209 is in a closed state, it can protect the various components in the enrichment space 202.

[0039] The adjacent enrichment components 2 of this embodiment are spliced ​​together left and right and up and down.

[0040] Meanwhile, a support 210 is provided on the enrichment component 2 at the bottom.

[0041] Specifically, it also includes a wall of an animal activity area in a zoo, the enrichment assembly 2 is arranged against the wall, and a second through hole portion 102 corresponding to the first through hole portion 203 is provided on the wall.

[0042] In this embodiment, a concave fixed area 101 is provided on the wall, and the enrichment component 2 is located in the fixed area 101. The structure of the fixed area 101 can limit the position of the enrichment component 2 to prevent the elephant's trunk from moving in the enrichment component 2, thereby ensuring that the position of the enrichment component 2 is relatively stable.

[0043] The enrichment component 2 of this embodiment is made of metal, which can ensure the service life of the entire device.

[0044] The various technical features in the above implementation modes can be combined arbitrarily as long as there is no conflict or contradiction between the combinations of features. However, due to space limitations, they are not described one by one.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Therefore, any modification, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
