Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of animal breeding devices, in particular to a full-automatic multi-directional odor enrichment device. Background Art

[0002] Enrichment mainly includes social enrichment, cognitive enrichment, sensory enrichment, physical environment enrichment, and food enrichment. As a form of sensory enrichment, scent enrichment primarily stimulates and exercises an animal's sense of smell and taste by providing scents or scented objects. In the wild, scent is crucial for animal survival, for example, finding food, marking territory, identifying conspecifics (mates, relatives) or enemies (competitors, predators, prey), and self-defense (skunks).

[0003] Animals living in zoos rarely have the opportunity to be exposed to a variety of smells. Their sense of smell is likely to degenerate due to lack of effective stimulation. Odor enrichment plays an important role in cage-building male and female animals (for animal breeding), displaying natural behaviors to improve animal welfare, and enriching visitors' visiting experience.

[0004] And due to the influence of the living habits and behavioral habits of wild animals, some animals may leave some smells in the natural environment. Different animals have their own unique smells. This smell may be to attract the opposite sex, mark territory or perform other social behaviors. The smell of animals in zoos may vary depending on many factors such as animal species, environment, diet and health status. The odor in the zoo mainly comes from animal excrement (feces / urine), as well as animal gland secretions. In the zoo, the existence of odor is a normal phenomenon. Through correct guidance through odor enrichment devices, visitors can fully recognize and understand the significance of the existence of odors and will not be frightened by odors.

[0005] Therefore, the present application provides a fully automatic multi-directional odor enrichment device to overcome the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0032] The technical solution of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] See Figures 1 to 7 The device is a specific embodiment of a fully automatic multi-directional odor enrichment device shown in the figure. The odor enrichment device carries out odor enrichment and improves animal welfare by providing multiple detachable and replaceable enrichment replacement tubes. Different enrichment objects are added to multiple different enrichment replacement tubes to provide a variety of different odors. An automatically flippable cover is provided at the opening of the enrichment replacement tube, which can selectively release or close the odor source, solving the problem that animals living in zoos have little chance to come into contact with a variety of odors, lack effective stimulation of their sense of smell, and will degenerate. The device can also guide tourists to correctly understand the significance of the existence of odors and provide tourists with a visiting experience.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the fully automatic multi-directional odor enrichment device includes a shell 1 with an opening at the top, and at least one cross bar 11 extending radially inward is provided on the outer edge of the top of the shell 1, a rotor 2 is sleeved in the shell 1, and is located in the shell 1 and rotates, and the rotor 2 is provided with at least one mounting groove 21 in the axial direction of the shell 1, and an enrichment replacement tube 3, at least one enrichment replacement tube 3 is installed in the mounting groove 21, and moves relative to the shell 1 with the rotation of the rotor 2, and the top of the enrichment replacement tube 3 is rotatably connected to the cover body 31, and the cover body 31 moves with the enrichment replacement tube 3, and is against the cross bar 11 and flipped open along the enrichment replacement tube 3 to release the odor of the enrichment content in the enrichment replacement tube 3.

[0035] Specifically, if Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the shell 1 is configured as a cylindrical structure, and at least one cross bar 11 is provided along the outer peripheral wall at the top of the shell 1 toward the center. The number of cross bars 11 can be increased or decreased accordingly according to the number of enrichment replacement tubes 3. The cross bar 11 is used to lift the cover 31 on the enrichment replacement tube 3 and flip it open to release the smell, which helps animals living in the zoo have the opportunity to be exposed to a variety of smells and effectively stimulate their sense of smell.

[0036] It is understandable that multiple enrichment replacement tubes 3 can be provided, preferably, 4, 6 or 8 can be provided. During use, some replacement tubes can be left empty to ensure the enrichment effect. In odor enrichment, leaving the odor empty is also an important part of enrichment. Therefore, the mounting slot 21 on the rotor 2 can be left empty or no enrichment material can be placed in the enrichment replacement tube 3. By providing 3-5 different odors and small doses of intuitive olfactory stimulation, the audience can understand the odor and its meaning, and compare whether the odor of the same or different animals is different.

[0037] Specifically, if Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the front end of the cover body 31 is in an S-shaped structure. The front end of the cover body 31 is tilted upward and abuts against the cross bar 11. The rotor 2 rotates in the shell 1, and the enrichment replacement tube 3 moves accordingly. The front end of the closed cover body 31 on the enrichment replacement tube 3 is tilted upward and abuts against the cross bar 11 during the movement. The cross bar 11 slides along the arc edge of the S shape to lift the cover body 31 upward, and opens the cover body 31 as it moves, releasing the enrichment material in the enrichment replacement tube 3.

[0038] Specifically, a rotating shaft 12 is vertically installed in the shell 1, and a driving unit 13 is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 12. The rotating shaft 12 is connected to the rotor 2. The driving unit 13 drives the rotating shaft 12 to rotate and drives the rotor 2 to rotate. The rotor 2 rotates in the shell 1 by being connected to the rotating shaft 12. The bottom end of the rotating shaft 12 is connected to the driving unit 13 arranged at the bottom of the shell 1. The driven rotation of the driving unit 13 drives the rotor 2 to rotate and thus causes the enrichment replacement tube 3 to rotate relative to the shell 1.

[0039] It should be noted that the drive unit 13 can be an electric motor or other device that can provide power, and there is no specific limitation in the present invention. The drive unit 13 can control the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 12 by the number of enrichment replacement tubes 3 set. Preferably, the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 12 is set between 45 and 90 degrees, and more preferably, the rotation angle is 45 degrees, 60 degrees, and 90 degrees.

[0040] Specifically, a hinge 32 is provided at the connection between the cover body 31 and the enrichment replacement tube 3. The cover body 31 flips along the enrichment replacement tube 3 based on the hinge 32. A contraction spring 33 is provided in the hinge 32 for closing the cover body 31. Solid, liquid or solid-liquid mixed enrichment materials are placed in the enrichment replacement tube 3. The cover body 31 is opened by the cross bar 11 to release the enrichment materials for volatilization. When closing is required, the enrichment replacement tube 3 is rotated to another place to disengage the cross bar 11 from the cover body 31, and the cover body 31 is closed by the hinge 32 and the contraction spring 33.

[0041] It is understandable that if Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the hinge 32 is thickened to ensure that the cover 31 closes smoothly and maintains functional stability. The crossbeam opens the cover physically and is preferably made of metal material. A sealing rubber ring 34 is provided at the top opening of the enrichment replacement tube 3 to ensure sealing when closed. The mounting groove 21 is detachably connected to the enrichment replacement tube 3, and can be replaced or replenished with odor regularly, which is also convenient for cleaning.

[0042] For example, Figure 3 and Figure 7As shown, the fully automatic multi-directional odor enrichment device also includes a power battery 4 and a control unit 5. The power battery 4 provides power to the driving unit 13, and the control unit 5 controls the rotation of the driving unit 13 to adjust the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 12.
