Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wild habitat and feeding of wetland birds, in particular to an integrated device for wild feeding and habitat of wetland birds. Background Art
[0002] The red-crowned crane is a large wading bird of the Grus family and genus Grus, with a body length of 120-160 cm. It has a long neck and legs, and is mostly white. The top of the head is bright red, the throat and neck are black, the ears to the headrest are white, and the feet are black. When standing, the neck, tail feathers, and feet are black, the top of the head is red, and the rest are all white. When flying, only the secondary and tertiary flight feathers, the neck, and feet are black, and the rest are all white. The characteristics are very distinct and easy to identify. The juvenile has a brown head and neck, and the body feathers are white with chestnut. At the Sheyang Red-crowned Crane Reserve in Yancheng, Jiangsu, China, it is a wintering ground rather than a breeding ground (the breeding grounds are in Northeast China and Russia). How to set up the cages to better suit the habitat habits of the red-crowned cranes and how to make them safer is a problem that the staff of the red-crowned crane reserve have always been concerned about.
[0003] A utility patent search, under patent number CN218043205U, discloses a red-crowned crane viewing enclosure, comprising a protective net and at least six columns. The net is mounted on the columns and surrounds the space formed by the columns. The enclosure is divided into an aquatic area and a terrestrial area. Concrete brick walls extending downward from the ground are located between adjacent columns at the boundary of the terrestrial area to prevent badgers from burrowing. A wire mesh is fixedly attached to the lower half of the columns between adjacent columns extending from the aquatic area toward the terrestrial area. The lower end of the protective net is fixedly attached to the wire mesh or the columns. This utility model is rationally designed to effectively protect the safety of red-crowned cranes. The enclosure is designed to suit the cranes' habitat. The concrete brick structure, which is sunken approximately 10 cm, prevents badgers from burrowing and entering the enclosure to harm the cranes. The mesh size of the protective net protects the cranes from protruding their heads or getting stuck in the mesh. The double-layer top net prevents snow from damaging the net.
[0004] Compared with the existing technology, the utility patent with patent number CN218043205U can effectively protect the safety of red-crowned cranes. The setting of the cage is in line with the habitat habits of red-crowned cranes; the concrete brick structure that sinks about 10 cm can prevent badgers from digging holes and entering the cage to harm the red-crowned cranes; the mesh size of the protective net can protect the red-crowned cranes from sticking out or getting stuck in the mesh of the protective net; the double-layer setting of the top net can prevent the protective net from being crushed by snow.
[0005] However, the above scheme can protect the red-crowned cranes by creating an observation area for them on the one hand, and provide them with food on the other hand. However, by setting up a series of protections, on the one hand, it is not conducive to the feeding of the staff. On the other hand, when feeding the red-crowned cranes, if they are in the breeding period, rashly disinfecting the ground and feeding may cause attacks and harm to the staff. Therefore, an integrated feeding and habitat device for wetland birds in the wild is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problem in the prior art that when protecting wild red-crowned cranes, the red-crowned cranes may attack workers during feeding during the breeding period, causing inconvenience in feeding. Therefore, an integrated device for feeding and perching wetland birds in the wild is proposed.

[0026] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0027] Example 1
[0028] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the integrated outdoor feeding and perching device for wetland birds proposed in the utility model includes a perching base 1, a feeding trough 8 is provided above the perching base 1, a ramp 7 is slidably connected to the inside of the feeding trough 8, the ramp 7 is fixed to the side of the rack 18, a fixed plate 5 is slidably connected above the rack 18, the fixed plate 5 is fixed to the inside of the perching base 1, a sliding lock plate 6 is meshedly connected below the rack 18, the sliding lock plate 6 is fixedly connected to a first intermittent gear 12, the first intermittent gear 12 is meshedly connected to a second intermittent gear 13, the second intermittent gear 13 is rotatably connected to a grain storage box 11, a grain delivery pipe 15 is provided on one side of the second intermittent gear 13, and a passage for leading the feed to the inside of the feeding trough 8 is provided inside the grain delivery pipe 15.
[0029] The working principle of the integrated feeding and perching device for wetland birds proposed in this utility model is that after placing the feeding and perching device in a relatively secluded location, it is first surrounded by a fence to prevent other terrestrial animals from harming the red-crowned cranes. In cold winters, the staff will heat the perching base by reflecting the temperature inside the box to the workplace. The heat source under the heating box 2 is located inside the perching base 1 to ensure that the temperature is not too low and prevent the young birds from freezing to death.
[0030] Next, the cranes' feed is poured into the grain storage box 11, and batteries are placed in the designated battery slots at the bottom of the box. The motor inside the box 11 is checked using a remote control to ensure it is functioning properly. When the motor is functioning properly, it drives the first intermittent gear 12 to rotate. As the first intermittent gear 12 rotates, the second intermittent gear 13 also rotates, aligning the feed outlet 14 with the hole in the box 11. Feed is then fed into the feeding trough 8 through the feed outlet 14 and the feed pipe 15.
[0031] At the same time, the rotation of the first intermittent gear 12 also drives the sliding lock plate 6 to rotate, and then drives the fixed plate 5 and the ramp 7 to slide inside the feeding trough 8 through the rack 18. By controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the motor, on the one hand, the feed feeding speed can be controlled, and on the other hand, the ramp 7 can be used to spread the grain inside the feeding trough 8 to prevent grain from piling up and affecting the red-crowned cranes' eating speed.
[0032] After a period of time, the food in the feeding trough 8 will gradually be consumed. The camera installed above the device can observe the situation inside the feeding trough 8 without blind spots and detect the remaining food. If the food is completely consumed or only a small amount is left, the motor can be controlled to rotate, and the sliding lock plate 6 and the rack 18 can be used to sweep the remaining waste food into the waste food collection box 16. The carrying box 17 can then be taken away when replacing batteries or feed.
[0033] Example 2
[0034] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, based on the first embodiment, a motor for controlling the rotation of the first intermittent gear 12 is provided inside the grain storage box 11, and a ramp 7 is also provided inside the grain storage box 11.
[0035] There are multiple groups of aquatic insect boxes 4 for providing food for young birds inside the habitat base 1, a food outlet 14 is provided inside the food storage box 11, and a waste food collection box 16 is provided on one side of the habitat base 1, and a carrying box 17 is slidably connected to the waste food collection box 16.
[0036] A heating box 2 is fixedly connected to the side of the habitat bottom plate 1, and the power supply of the heating box 2 is connected to the solar panel 3 water pump for heating the habitat bottom plate 1.
[0037] A plurality of solar panels 3 for absorbing sunlight are arranged above the habitat base 1 to provide electricity for the device.
[0038] A mesh is provided on one side of the habitat bottom plate 1 to prevent natural enemies from rushing into the interior of the habitat bottom plate 1 .
[0039] A ventilation fan 10 is provided inside the habitat bottom plate 1 , and the energy supply of the ventilation fan 10 is provided by the solar panel 3 .
[0040] A ventilation hole 9 is provided on one side of the habitat bottom plate 1 to enhance the air circulation inside the device.
[0041] The integrated outdoor feeding and perching device for wetland birds proposed in this utility model operates as follows: Furthermore, a temperature sensor is provided on one side of the device to monitor the average temperature inside the device. When the temperature is too high, the power collected by the solar panel 3 activates the ventilation fan 10 to cool the interior of the device, providing a more comfortable living environment for the red-crowned cranes. By utilizing a local water source and a water pump with a replaceable battery, the cranes' living conditions are effectively protected.
[0042] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
