[0003] At present, the food source of animals in the zoo exhibition area is mostly artificial feeding at a fixed time, fixed point and fixed quantity. This mode easily domesticates wild animals and causes a decline in the survival ability of wild animals in the wild. Animals repeat boring activities in a limited space every day, which can easily lead to stereotyped behaviors in animals and shorten their lifespan. In order to enrich the activities of animals and improve their survival ability, we can start from the enrichment device for feeding animals, carry out interesting design and bionic design, increase the difficulty of feeding, and make animals feed closer to nature. At present, most of the existing enrichment devices are too direct and simple, without bionic design, and it is not difficult for animals to feed, and it is impossible to simulate the difficulty of animals foraging in the wild environment. It can be seen that at present, there is a lack of an enrichment device for feeding animals in the exhibition area to increase the difficulty of feeding, increase the entertainment of animals feeding, reduce the stereotyped behavior of animals, and at the same time allow animals to retain their ability to survive in the wild to a certain extent.

In addition, the descriptions of up, down, left, right, etc. used in the present invention are only relative to the relative positional relationship of the components of the present invention in the accompanying drawings.

[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 7 , an enrichment device for feeding animals in an exhibition area, comprising a bionic device 1, a transmission device 2, an air pump device and a feeding device 3; the bionic device 1 can be arranged in the exhibition area; the bionic device 1 comprises a feeding port 11 and a first channel 12, the feeding port 11 is connected to the first channel 12; the transmission device 2 comprises a transport device 21 and a transmission channel 22, one end of the transmission channel 22 is connected to the bottom position of the first channel 12; the feeding device 3 is placed on the transport device 21; the transport device 21 is movably arranged on the transmission channel 22; the air outlet of the air pump device is connected to the bottom of the first channel 12, for delivering the feeding device 3 to the first channel 12.

[0035] In one embodiment, the bionic device 1 is a bionic tree or a bionic stone. Figures 1 to 4 In this embodiment, the bionic device 1 is a bionic tree, and the bionic tree is provided with the feeding port 11 and the first channel 12. This type of bionic device 1 can be open to monkeys and bears.

[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment, the bionic device 1 is provided with an inspection door 13 at the bottom, and the inspection door 13 can facilitate the staff to inspect and clean the bottom of the first channel 12.

[0037] In one embodiment, the first channel 12 is a smooth channel with a variable cross-section, which gradually narrows from the bottom to the top;

[0038] Or the first channel 12 is a smooth channel with a constant cross-section, and the first channel 12 is provided with a limit block at a position slightly below the feeding opening 11 .

[0039] In this embodiment, the first channel 12 is a smooth channel with a variable cross-section, which gradually narrows from the bottom to the top. When the feeding device 3 is blown up by the air pump device, the feeding device 3 moves upward along the first channel 12. Due to the narrowing design of the upper part of the first channel 12, the feeding device 3 can just reach the position of the feeding port 11, and under the influence of the airflow pumped out by the air pump device, the feeding device 3 can float up and down unstably near the feeding port 11. This design can increase the difficulty of animal feeding, is closer to reality, and creates conditions for the natural foraging of animals. At the same time, this design can increase the fun, enrich the foraging activities of animals, and reduce the occurrence of stereotyped behaviors in animals.

[0040] Reference Figures 5 to 7 In one embodiment, the transport device 21 includes a carrier 211 and a pulley assembly 212, wherein the pulley assembly 212 is disposed at the bottom of the carrier 211, and the carrier 211 is provided with a placement portion A, wherein the placement portion A is used to match the placement of the feeding device 3.

[0041] In one embodiment, the placement portion A is provided with a cushion pad, and the feeding device 3 can be placed on the cushion pad. This design can play a cushioning role when the transport device 21 recycles the feeding device 3, and prevents the feeding device 3 from directly colliding with the transport device 21 during the recycling. During the recycling, the air pump device removes the effect of the rising airflow on the feeding device 3. At this time, the feeding device 3 will fall along the first channel 12 due to its own gravity. With the cushion pad, the placement portion A of the transport device 21 can safely catch the feeding device 3. After catching it, the transport device 21 is withdrawn along the transmission channel 22.

[0042] In the first embodiment, the feeding device 3 is a sphere with a hollow structure, and the cavity of the sphere can be used to place food for the animal to take out.

[0043] In the second embodiment, the sphere is surrounded by a plurality of hollow tubes. In one embodiment, in order to increase the wind receiving area of ​​the hollow structure sphere, a solid surface (such as elastic canvas) can be appropriately installed on the surface of the hollow structure sphere. In another embodiment, in order to increase the wind receiving area of ​​the hollow structure sphere, a plurality of holes can be opened on the side of the hollow tube facing the outside of the sphere to facilitate airflow through the holes and flow into the tube cavity of the hollow tube, thereby increasing the wind receiving area and making it easier for the air pump device to blow up the feeding device 3.

[0044] In the third embodiment, the sphere is surrounded by a plurality of curved petals (see Figure 5 and Figure 6 ).

[0045] In the fourth embodiment, the feeding device 3 is a cylinder; the cylinder is provided with a storage cavity for placing food; the upper end of the cylinder is an open end, and the open end can facilitate animals to grab food; the lower end of the cylinder is a solid surface wind receiving end (such as a bottom plate), and the solid surface wind receiving end can provide a wind receiving surface to facilitate the feeding device to be blown up, and the solid wind receiving end can carry the food placed in the storage cavity; the body of the cylinder is a hollow structure, and this design can reduce the weight of the cylinder. At this time, the first channel 12 is a smooth channel with a uniform cross-section, and the first channel 12 is provided with a limit block at a position slightly below the feeding port 11. The limit block can limit the feeding device 3 to a position near the feeding port 11, which can prevent the animal from taking out the feeding device 3 and prevent the feeding device 3 from being damaged by the animal.

[0046] Reference Figures 5 to 7 In one embodiment, a transmission rail 221 is provided on the transmission channel 22 , and the transport device 21 is movably disposed on the transmission rail 221 via a sliding assembly 212 .

[0047] Reference Figure 4In one embodiment, a slope B is provided on the bottom surface of the transmission channel 22. The slope B has a high "elevation" on the side close to the first channel 12 and a low "elevation" on the side close to the transmission channel outlet 222. This design can facilitate the feeding device 3 and the transport device 21 to exit the transmission channel 22. In one embodiment, after the transport device 21 is loaded with the feeding device 3, it enters (manually pushed in) along the transmission channel 22. When it moves to the set position, the transport device 21 is limited at the set position of the transmission channel 22 by the electric telescopic limit assembly. After that, the air pump device is turned on, the feeding device 3 is blown up, and after the animal takes out the food in the feeding device 3 through the feeding port 11, the air pump device is turned off, so that the feeding device 3 falls back onto the buffer pad of the transport device 21. After that, the electric telescopic limit assembly on the transmission channel 22 is controlled to release the limit on the transport device 21, and the transport device 21 can exit the transmission channel 22 along the slope.

[0048] In another embodiment, the bottom surface of the transmission channel 22 is a flat slope.

[0049] In this embodiment, the air pump device is arranged outside the exhibition area and is connected to the bottom of the first channel 12 through an air channel. When the air pump device is working, the airflow generated can blow up the feeding device 3 with food inside, that is, the pushing force of the airflow generated by the air pump device on the feeding device can be greater than the total gravity of "the feeding device and the food".
