Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to transportation heat preservation box technical field especially relates to a bird transportation heat preservation box. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, the demand for pet types is more and more diversified. In the past, the pet market was mainly dominated by cats and dogs, and now people are eager for some novel pets. Bird pets such as parrots have become the choice of many people who pursue new pets because of their beautiful feathers and smart characteristics. Therefore, the bird breeding industry has been developing in the past two years, and the bird breeding process mainly includes the preparation process before hatching, the hatching process, the brooding stage, etc. Among them, for the hatching process, in order to provide the hatching success rate, the egg incubation equipment needs to meet relatively high requirements, and for this purpose, the applicant's prior application: application number CN202321909399.6 "egg incubation device" and application number CN202321909394.3 "positioning block for egg incubation device and egg incubation assembly" have ingeniously improved the existing egg incubation equipment, wherein the positioning block for the egg incubation device is designed such that the size of the cross section of the first end portion is larger than the size of the cross section of the second end portion, and the minimum size of the neck portion is located adjacent to the second end portion, which is more in line with the shape characteristics of the egg (having a large head portion and a small head portion). In this way, under the driving of the positioning block, the large head portion (i.e. the gas chamber portion) of the egg to be incubated can be effectively ensured to be upward during the turning process or after turning, and the hatching rate can be improved from 75% to about 95%.

[0003] In the actual bird hatching breeding operation process, the applicant found that pet birds such as parrots basically need to be sent to the customer's side in time during the young bird period, because the young bird period is the key period for establishing a close relationship, and this period is also the golden period for parrots to learn language and various skills, but there is no incubator that can fully meet the bird transportation requirements in the prior art. The existing incubators or air boxes are mostly for large pets such as cats and dogs. Because the beak of the bird is relatively sharp, it may peck and bite the facilities in the box during transportation, and the materials and protective measures in the large pet box may not be able to effectively prevent the pecking and biting of the parrot, thereby causing damage to the box and the parrot may be injured. On the other hand, because the mood of the bird, especially the parrot, is easily affected by the external environment (noise, dark space and impact of the incubator) during transportation, the existing transportation incubator does not use a device or facility specially used to calm the mood of the bird.

[0004] Therefore, the existing bird transportation incubator needs to be further improved. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a bird transport insulated box that can avoid damage from bird pecking and bites and can effectively soothe the emotions of birds, in light of the current state of the technology.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: a bird transport insulated box, comprising:

[0007] A box, which defines an activity room for housing birds;

[0008] Lighting fixtures for illuminating the activity room;

[0009] A gnaw mechanism for birds to peck at, the gnaw mechanism protruding from the inner wall of the activity chamber toward the activity chamber.

[0010] To facilitate the installation and replacement of the grinding component, the grinding component includes a connecting rod detachably connected to the wall of the housing and a grinding rod located at one end of the connecting rod facing inward.

[0011] To simplify the installation structure of the teeth grinding parts, the connecting rod is a bolt that passes through the wall of the housing, and the teeth grinding rod is a wooden or plastic rod that is attached to the end of the bolt.

[0012] For birds, especially bird larvae, temperature control during transportation is crucial. When shipping birds, temperature variations caused by regional differences must be taken into account. Therefore, the box also includes an insulated chamber for storing insulated packs. The insulated chamber is arranged adjacent to the activity chamber and separated by a vertically arranged first partition. The first partition has first through holes connecting the insulated chamber and the activity chamber.

[0013] Because of the presence of the first through hole, birds may peck at the edge of the through hole, causing damage to the enclosure. Therefore, the area where each first through hole is located on the first partition is called the first through hole area. A protective net is also provided on the side wall of the first through hole area of ​​the first partition facing the activity room.

[0014] To ensure the internal temperature remains within a suitable range even when an external power source is unavailable, the insulation pack can be a heating pack that provides heat or a cooling pack that provides cooling. The heating pack can be a hand warmer, and the cooling pack can be a freezing block.

[0015] Considering that some heating packs in the insulated chamber consume oxygen, if the insulated chamber is connected to the activity room (e.g., through the first through hole mentioned above), this convective heat exchange would cause the oxygen concentration in the activity room to drop to around 17%, which would seriously affect the bird's health. Therefore, one possible solution is to further define an insulated chamber within the enclosure for storing the heating packs. This insulated chamber is arranged adjacent to the activity room and separated by a vertically arranged first partition. The first partition has heat exchange openings covered with a metal heat-conducting plate. The insulated chamber and the bird's activity room are isolated by a metal heat-conducting plate (such as a thin aluminum alloy plate). This prevents the heating packs from consuming oxygen in the bird's activity room during heating. Furthermore, using a thin aluminum alloy plate enhances heat conduction, allowing the temperature in the activity room to rise more quickly.

[0016] As an improvement, a heating film is also provided on the side of the metal heat-conducting plate facing the insulated chamber. During non-transportation periods, the heating film can be connected to an external power source to provide heating. An electrical compartment, separate from the movable chamber, is also defined within the enclosure. This electrical compartment houses a portable power source used to power the heating film and / or the lighting device. It is conceivable that the heating film could also be installed on the bottom wall or the surrounding side walls of the movable chamber. A heating film installed on the bottom wall of the movable chamber can provide heat more effectively, functioning similarly to underfloor heating.

[0017] As an improvement, the system also includes a music player and a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature inside the activity room. A display screen is also installed on the outer wall of the enclosure, in the area opposite the electrical compartment. The music player, temperature sensor, and display screen are all electrically connected to the portable power source. Playing music helps to soothe the birds and reduce panic during transport. The display screen and temperature sensor allow for a more intuitive view of the activity room temperature.

[0018] As an improvement, the walls of the enclosure are also provided with a second through-hole for connecting the active chamber to the outside, and an observation area for the outside to view the interior of the active chamber. The second through-hole allows for ventilation, preventing the active chamber from becoming too enclosed. However, the size of the second through-hole must meet requirements; it cannot be too numerous or too large, otherwise it will affect insulation. Its position needs to be centered to prevent the contents from blocking the second through-hole when the chamber is inverted. Considering that if the second through-hole is only on one side, there may be a problem of blockage due to pressure on that one side, it is best to provide second through-holes on all three sides of the active chamber.

[0019] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: The active chamber of the bird transport insulated box is equipped with a gnaw mechanism for birds to peck at. This gnaw mechanism protrudes from the inner wall of the active chamber. Since birds like to peck at protruding objects, the gnaw mechanism attracts birds to peck at it, thus encouraging them to peck at other parts of the active chamber, making the insulated box less prone to damage from bird pecking. Furthermore, the lighting device illuminates the active chamber, preventing birds from becoming panicked by darkness and ensuring that birds can clearly see the gnaw mechanism within the active chamber to peck at.

[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] In the specification and claims of this utility model, terms indicating direction, such as "front," "rear," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "side," "top," and "bottom," are used to describe various exemplary structural parts and elements of this utility model. However, the use of these terms is merely for the purpose of explanation and is based on the exemplary orientations shown in the accompanying drawings. Since the embodiments disclosed in this utility model can be arranged in different orientations, these terms indicating direction are for illustrative purposes only and should not be regarded as limitations. For example, "upper" and "lower" are not necessarily limited to directions opposite to or consistent with the direction of gravity.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Figures 1-4A preferred embodiment of the bird transport insulated box of this utility model is shown. A bird transport insulated box includes a box body 1, a lighting device 181, a teething component 2, a music playback device, and a temperature sensor 19. The box body 1 includes a box body 11 with an open top and a cover 12 that closes to the open top of the box body 11. Specifically, the rear side of the cover 12 is hinged to the top of the rear side wall of the box body 11. A handle 121 for easy gripping by the user is also provided on the top surface of the cover 12. A latch 122 is also provided on the front side of the cover 12, and a latch engagement portion 111 corresponding to the latch 122 is provided on the top front side of the box body. Figure 1 As shown, the latch 122 connecting the lid 12 and the box body 11 can be a conventional latch lock. A latch lock typically consists of a movable latch 122 and a fixed latch seat (i.e., latch engagement 111). When the toolbox lid is closed, the latch 122 is flipped down, causing it to engage tightly with the latch seat, thus locking the toolbox. This latch mechanism relies on the interference of a mechanical structure to maintain the locked state. It is conceivable that the latch connection structure between the lid 12 and the box body 11 could employ a spring-loaded snap lock, a combination lock, or a padlock.

[0030] The enclosure 1 defines an activity chamber 131, an insulated chamber 132, and an electrical compartment 133. The activity chamber 131 is used to house and provide space for the birds. The activity chamber 131 can be relatively large. The insulated chamber 132 and the electrical compartment 133 are located on the same side of the activity chamber 131, specifically arranged sequentially front to back. The activity chamber 131, the insulated chamber 132, and the electrical compartment 133 can be separated by vertically extending partitions. Specifically, the insulated chamber 132 is arranged adjacent to the activity chamber 131 and separated by a vertically arranged first partition 15, wherein the first partition 15 has first through holes 161 connecting the insulated chamber 132 and the activity chamber 131. For birds, especially young birds, temperature control during transportation is crucial. When shipping, temperature variations due to regional differences must be considered. To maintain a relatively constant temperature within the activity chamber 131, insulation packs can be placed in the insulated chamber 132. These packs can be heating packs to provide heat or cooling packs to lower the temperature. Heating packs can be hand warmers, and cooling packs can be freezing blocks. Using easily replaceable insulation packs ensures that the temperature inside the enclosure 1 remains within a suitable range even when an external power source is inconvenient. In some embodiments, a heating film (not shown in the figures) is also provided on the bottom wall of the activity chamber 131. This heating film can be directly connected to an external power supply via a power cord, or it can be connected to a portable power source placed in the electrical compartment 133. Outside of transportation, the heating film can be connected to an external power source to provide heating, similar to underfloor heating.

[0031] The enclosure 1 is also equipped with a temperature sensor 19 for detecting the temperature inside the activity room 131, and a display screen 18 is also installed on the outer wall of the enclosure 1 in the area opposite to the electrical room 133. Both the temperature sensor 19 and the display screen 18 can be electrically connected to and powered by a power bank. During transportation, users can directly observe the temperature information displayed on the display screen 18 to know whether there are significant changes or abnormalities in the temperature inside the activity room 131.

[0032] The wall of the enclosure 1 is also provided with a second through hole 162, which is used to connect the active chamber 131 to the outside. The second through hole 162 allows for ventilation, preventing the active chamber 131 from being too enclosed. However, the size of the second through hole 162 must meet the requirements; it cannot be too many or too large, otherwise it will affect the heat preservation. The position needs to be centered to prevent the contents from blocking the second through hole 162 when the chamber is inverted. Considering that if the second through hole 162 is only opened on one side, there may be a problem of blockage due to pressure on one side, it is best to provide the second through hole 162 on all three sides of the active chamber 131. An opening is provided on the wall of the enclosure 1 in the area corresponding to the active chamber 131 as an observation area 14. A transparent plastic plate or glass plate can be installed in the observation area 14 so that the user can see the inside of the active chamber 131 from the outside.

[0033] The container 1 is also equipped with a music playback device (not shown in the attached diagram). Birds are easily stressed during transportation due to changes in their external environment. Unfamiliar surroundings, bumps, and noise can all cause birds to feel anxious. Suitable music can mask some of the external noise interference, such as vehicle noise and crowd noise. At the same time, the soothing rhythm of the music can regulate the birds' emotions to a certain extent, just like hearing the soft sound of wind and rain in a natural environment, making the birds feel familiar and at ease, thereby reducing stress. The music played by the music playback device can be natural sound effects such as birdsong in a forest or the sound of a stream, which can create an atmosphere similar to their natural habitat, preventing the birds from panicking due to the completely unfamiliar environment in the transport container. The power for the music playback device can also be provided by a portable power source in the electrical compartment 133.

[0034] See Figure 2 and Figure 3A key invention of the bird transport insulated box in this embodiment is the inclusion of a gnaw piece 2 on the box body 1 for birds to peck at. This gnaw piece protrudes from the inner wall of the activity chamber 131 toward the interior of the chamber. To facilitate installation and replacement of the gnaw piece 2, this embodiment includes a detachable connecting rod attached to the wall of the box body 1 and a gnaw rod located at the end of the connecting rod facing inward. A corresponding connecting hole 1310 is provided on the wall of the box body 1. The connecting rod, using a bolt 21, passes through the connecting hole 1310 on the wall of the box body 1 and is fixed inside the box body 1 by a nut 22. The gnaw rod is a wooden or plastic rod located at the end of the bolt 21. Alternatively, the gnaw rod can be omitted, meaning only the bolt 21 is used as the gnaw piece. Since birds like to peck at protruding objects, the gnaw piece attracts birds to peck at it, thus encouraging them to peck at other areas within the activity chamber 131, reducing the risk of damage to the insulated box from bird pecking.

[0035] See Figure 1 The enclosure 1 is also equipped with a lighting device 181 for illuminating the activity room 131. The lighting device 181 can also be powered by a portable power source in the electrical room 133. The lighting device 181 can illuminate the activity room 131, preventing birds from becoming panicked by the dark, and also ensuring that birds can see the gnawing pieces in the activity room 131 so that they can peck at them to grind their teeth.

[0036] Because of the presence of the second through hole 162 on the enclosure 1 and the first through hole 161 on the first partition 15, birds may peck at the edges of the through holes, causing damage to the enclosure 1. Therefore, the area where each of the first through holes 161 is located on the first partition 15 is referred to as the first through hole area. A protective net 17 is also provided on the side wall of the first through hole area of ​​the first partition 15 facing the activity room 131, that is, the birds are prevented from pecking at the edges of the first through holes 161 by covering the protective net 17. The second through hole 162 on the enclosure 1 is preferably a round hole, and a metal anti-bite ring (not shown in the figure) can be inlaid on the round hole.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] Figures 5-6Another preferred embodiment of the bird transport insulated box of this utility model is shown. The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the first partition 15 between the insulated chamber 132 and the bird's activity chamber 131 does not have a first through hole 161. That is, the insulated chamber 132 and the bird's activity chamber 131 are independent and not connected to each other. This is because some heating packs in the insulated chamber 132 will consume oxygen. If the insulated chamber 132 and the activity chamber 131 are connected (such as through the first through hole 161 mentioned above), this convective heat exchange will cause the oxygen concentration in the activity chamber 131 to drop to about 17%, which will have a serious impact on the health of the bird. Specifically, the first partition 15 has a relatively large heat exchange opening 1311, and the heat exchange opening 1311 is covered with a metal heat-conducting plate 1312. More specifically, the heat exchange opening 1311 has an annular step at its edge on the side facing the activity chamber 131. The metal heat-conducting plate 1312, which can be made of aluminum alloy sheet, is embedded in the annular step of the heat exchange opening. Preferably, after the metal heat-conducting plate 1312 is installed in place at the aforementioned annular step, it is flush with or slightly lower than the wall surface of the first partition 15 (the wall surface facing the activity chamber 131). The heat-insulating chamber 132 and the bird's activity chamber 131 are isolated by the metal heat-conducting plate 1312 (such as an aluminum alloy sheet). This can prevent the heating pack from consuming the oxygen in the bird's activity chamber 131 during the heating process. In addition, using an aluminum alloy sheet enhances heat conduction, which can raise the temperature inside the activity chamber 131 more quickly. In some embodiments, the wall of the box body 11 has a third through hole 163 distributed in the area corresponding to the heat-insulating chamber 132 to communicate with the outside and replenish the oxygen required by the heating pack.

[0039] Another difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the heating film (not shown in the attached drawings) is positioned on the side of the metal heat-conducting plate 1312 facing the insulation chamber 132, which avoids contamination and makes cleaning easier. The heating film can also be directly connected to an external power supply via a power cord, or connected to a portable power source placed in the electrical compartment 133. Outside of transport, the heating film can be powered externally to provide heating functionality.
