Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of animal feeding equipment, and in particular to a feeding device for crab-eating macaques. Background Technology
[0002] Crab-eating macaques are mammals belonging to the genus *Macrochelys* of the family Cercopithecidae in the order Primates. Also known as long-tailed macaques or crab-eating monkeys, their fur varies in color from yellow, gray, and brown, ranging from grayish-brown to reddish-brown. The fur on their bellies and inner limbs is lighter in color, with a wispy crest. Their faces are brownish-gray with whiskers, and their eyelids are bare with a white triangular area on the upper side of the eyelids. They have erect ears, black eyes, a flat nose with narrow nostrils, well-developed cheek pouches on both sides of their face, and a small whorl of hair on the top of their heads. They are named crab-eating macaques because they forage for crabs and shellfish at low tide. They are one of the most common domesticated monkey species.
[0003] The existing feeding methods for cynomolgus monkeys have the following drawbacks: When feeding cynomolgus monkeys, a common tray structure is generally used to support the food. In actual use, because the tray structure is relatively light, the cynomolgus monkeys can easily move the tray while eating, which can easily lead to the tray shifting and tipping over, causing the feed to spill and be wasted. In addition, the concave structure of the tray makes it difficult to clean. Therefore, we propose a feeding device for cynomolgus monkeys. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a feeding device for crab-eating macaques. By improving the tray structure, it does not affect the feeding of food, and at the same time prevents the crab-eating macaques from disturbing the tray, making it easy to clean. This can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A feeding device for crab-eating macaques includes a tray and a base. The tray has a base at its bottom and a cavity inside. A counterweight is inserted between the base and the tray and is placed inside the cavity. Slots A are vertically provided at the four corners of the bottom of the tray. Rods that are inserted into slots A are welded at the four corners of the top of the base.
[0007] Furthermore, a side rail is movably connected to the top of the tray. Slots B are provided on both sides of the side rail, and vertical rods inserted into slots B are installed on both sides of the top of the tray. Arc-shaped grooves at different heights in the same vertical direction are provided on both sides of the inner wall of slot B. With these arc-shaped grooves at different heights on the inner wall of slot B, under normal conditions, the arc-shaped protrusions on the surface of the vertical rods engage with the higher arc-shaped groove. At this time, the bottom of the side rail fits against the top of the tray surface, facilitating the holding of food and preventing spillage. When the tray needs to be rinsed, the side rails can be held from both sides and pulled upwards simultaneously, causing the arc-shaped protrusions on the surface of the vertical rods to engage with the lower arc-shaped groove. This raises the height of the side rails, creating a gap between its bottom and the tray, allowing for direct rinsing of the tray surface. Wastewater generated during rinsing flows directly out along the side of the tray, facilitating cleaning. After rinsing, the side rails can be pressed down to reset.
[0008] Furthermore, a fixing ring is welded to one end of the slot A near the base, and a limiting ring is welded to the top of the insertion rod A inside the slot A; the fixing ring and the limiting ring cooperate to limit the pull-up range of the tray and prevent it from separating from the base.
[0009] Furthermore, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the middle position inside the vertical rod, and springs are installed on both sides of the surface of the fixing plate and arc-shaped protruding rings are movably connected to the springs; when the side rail is pulled, the arc-shaped protruding rings are squeezed and the springs are compressed, causing the arc-shaped protruding rings to move inward into the vertical rod, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of the side rail.
[0010] Furthermore, the arc-shaped protruding ring corresponds to the position of the arc-shaped slot and is inserted into the arc-shaped slot; by adjusting the position of the arc-shaped protruding ring inserted into the arc-shaped slot at different positions, the height position of the sidebar can be adjusted.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: The top of the tray is used to hold food, and its bottom is equipped with a base structure. Under normal conditions, the bottom of the tray is attached to the surface of the base. When the tray is moved to a suitable position, it is pulled up, creating a gap between the tray and the base. A counterweight is then inserted into the gap and placed on top of the base. After insertion, the tray is released, and under the action of gravity, the tray falls and fits against the base. At the same time, the counterweight is inserted into the cavity, increasing the self-weight of the tray structure. This prevents the crab-eating macaque from pulling the tray while it is eating, thus avoiding movement and tipping of the tray and preventing food spillage and waste. The tray is located in the slot. The inner wall of plate B has arc-shaped slots at different heights. Under normal conditions, the arc-shaped protrusions on the surface of the vertical rod are engaged in the arc-shaped slots at the higher positions. At this time, the bottom of the side rail is attached to the top of the tray surface, making it convenient to hold food and preventing spillage. When the tray needs to be rinsed, the side rails can be held from both sides and pulled up at the same time, so that the arc-shaped protrusions on the surface of the vertical rod are engaged in the arc-shaped slots at the lower positions. At this time, the height of the side rails is raised, and there is a gap between its bottom and the tray, which makes it convenient to rinse the surface of the tray directly. The wastewater generated during rinsing will flow directly out along the side of the tray for easy cleaning. After rinsing, the side rails can be pressed down to reset. Attached Figure Description

[0018] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0019] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a feeding device for crab-eating macaques includes a tray 1 and a base 2. The base 2 is provided at the bottom of the tray 1 and a cavity 3 is opened inside the tray 1. A counterweight 4 is inserted between the base 2 and the tray 1 and is placed inside the cavity 3. Slots A5 are vertically opened at the four corners of the bottom of the tray 1. Insert rods 6 that are inserted into the slots A5 are welded at the four corners of the top of the base 2.
[0020] The tray 1 is movably connected to a side rail 9 at its top. Slots B10 are provided on both sides of the inside of the side rail 9, and vertical rods 11 are installed on both sides of the top of the tray 1, inserting into the slots B10. Arc-shaped slots 12 at different heights in the same vertical direction are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the slots B10. Under normal conditions, the arc-shaped protruding rings 15 on the surface of the vertical rods 11 are engaged in the higher arc-shaped slots 12. At this time, the side rail... The bottom of the side rail 9 fits snugly against the top of the tray 1 surface, making it convenient to hold food and preventing spillage. When the tray 1 needs to be rinsed, the side rail 9 can be held from both sides and pulled up simultaneously, causing the arc-shaped protrusion 15 on the surface of the vertical rod 11 to engage with the arc-shaped slot 12 at a lower position. At this time, the height of the side rail 9 is raised, and there is a gap between its bottom and the tray 1, which makes it convenient to rinse the surface of the tray 1 directly. The wastewater generated during rinsing will flow directly out along the side of the tray 1 for easy cleaning. After rinsing, the side rail 9 can be pressed down to reset.
[0021] The slot A5 is welded with a fixing ring 7 at one end near the base 2, and the top of the insertion rod 6A is welded with a limiting ring 8 located inside the slot A5; the fixing ring 7 and the limiting ring 8 cooperate to limit the upward pull range of the tray 1 and prevent it from separating from the base 2.
[0022] A fixing plate 13 is fixedly connected to the middle position inside the vertical rod 11. Springs 14 are installed on both sides of the surface of the fixing plate 13, and arc-shaped protruding rings 15 are movably connected to the springs 14. The arc-shaped protruding rings 15 correspond to the positions of the arc-shaped slots 12 and are inserted into the arc-shaped slots 12. When the side rail 9 is pulled, the arc-shaped protruding rings 15 are squeezed and the springs 14 are compressed, so that the arc-shaped protruding rings 15 move into the vertical rod 11, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of the side rail 9. By adjusting the position of the arc-shaped protruding rings 15 inserted into the arc-shaped slots 12, the height position of the side rail 9 can be adjusted.
[0023] It should be noted that this utility model is a feeding device for cynomolgus monkeys. In use, the top of the tray 1 is used to hold the food, and its bottom has a base 2 structure. Under normal conditions, the bottom of the tray 1 is flush with the surface of the base 2. When the tray 1 is moved to a suitable position, it is pulled up, creating a gap between the tray 1 and the base 2. A counterweight 4 is then inserted into the gap and pushed to the top of the base 2. After insertion, the tray 1 is released, and under gravity, it falls and flushes with the base 2. Simultaneously, the counterweight 4 is inserted into the cavity 3, increasing the weight of the tray 1 structure. This prevents the cynomolgus monkey from pulling the tray 1 while it is eating, thus avoiding movement and tipping, and preventing food spillage and waste. The inner wall of the trough B10 is provided with arc-shaped slots 12 at different heights. Under normal conditions, the arc-shaped protrusions 15 on the surface of the vertical rod 11 are inserted into the arc-shaped slots 12 at the higher position. At this time, the bottom of the side rail 9 is attached to the top of the surface of the tray 1, which is convenient for holding food and prevents it from spilling. When the tray 1 needs to be rinsed, the side rail 9 can be held from both sides and pulled up at the same time, so that the arc-shaped protrusions 15 on the surface of the vertical rod 11 are inserted into the arc-shaped slots 12 at the lower position. At this time, the height of the side rail 9 is raised, and there is a gap between its bottom and the tray 1, which makes it convenient to rinse the surface of the tray 1 directly. The wastewater generated by rinsing will flow directly out along the side of the tray 1 for easy cleaning. After rinsing, the side rail 9 can be pressed down to reset.
