AI Technical Summary
The horizontal struts of traditional bird-shaped kites are prone to breaking in strong winds, resulting in a small change in the kite's surface area, making it unable to effectively cope with strong winds. Furthermore, the horizontal struts are prone to detaching, affecting the kite's stability and safety.
The kite employs a longitudinal support structure, including the main pole, wing struts, and tail struts, which are connected by cross-shaped joints to form a figure-eight distribution. This enhances the kite's stability and deformation capacity, and prevents the lateral struts from coming off.
Under strong winds, the kite surface can undergo greater terrain deformation, reducing the risk of breakage, maintaining an open state, improving the kite's stability and safety, and allowing for folding and storage.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of kite technology, specifically relating to a bird-shaped kite with a longitudinal support structure. Background Technology
[0002] In ancient times, kites were called "yao" in the south and "yuan" in the north, hence the saying "southern yao, northern yuan." They also had various other names such as wooden kite, paper kite, wind kite, paper yao, and yaozi. The term "kite" first appeared in Tang Dynasty poetry. During the Five Dynasties period, Li Ye made paper kites in the palace, using them to fly in the wind. Later, he added a bamboo flute to the head of the kite, so that the wind entering the bamboo produced a sound like a zither, hence the name "kite." Kites originated in China and have a history of over 2000 years. The "wooden kite" made by Mozi during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods is considered the original form of kite. From the Sui and Tang Dynasties onwards, with the development of papermaking, people began to use paper to make kites. During the Song Dynasty, kite flying became a popular outdoor activity. The Ming and Qing Dynasties were the golden age of Chinese kite development. During the Republic of China period, kite making and flying remained popular. Since the reform and opening up, the scale of kite production and sales has been expanding. Currently, kites come in a wide variety of shapes and styles. According to type, kites can be divided into soft-winged kites, hard-winged kites, board kites, and three-dimensional kites.
[0003] Bird-shaped kites are the most common kite design, and their typical structure usually includes a horizontal strut. This strut holds the kite fully open. This type of kite can withstand relatively weak winds because, to prevent the strut from detaching from the kite, its length is usually longer than the distance between its two support points. Therefore, the strut tries to keep the kite surface open as much as possible before breaking, resulting in minimal change in the windward surface area. In stronger winds, the strut is more likely to break.
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of traditional horizontal struts, this invention aims to provide a bird-shaped kite with a longitudinal support structure. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bird-shaped kite with a longitudinal support structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A bird-shaped kite with a longitudinal support structure includes a kite surface, a main kite pole, two wing supports, and two tail supports. The kite surface is bird-shaped and divided into a head section, a body section, two wing sections, and a tail section. A head support point is provided at the head section, and a tail support point is provided at the tail section. The two ends of the main kite pole are inserted into the head support point and the tail support point, respectively. The main kite pole has a first cross-shaped connecting node and a second cross-shaped connecting node. The first cross-shaped connecting node is located on the body section of the kite surface. At the tail position, the second cross-connecting node is located at the tail of the kite surface; wing support rods are provided on both sides of the wing section, with the inner end of each wing support rod inserted into the first cross-connecting node, and the wing support rods on both sides are distributed in a figure-eight shape; two tail wing support points are provided at the tail position, with the outer ends of the two tail support rods respectively inserted into the two tail wing support points for fixation, and the inner ends of the two tail support rods respectively inserted into the second cross-connecting node for fixation, and the two tail support rods are distributed in a figure-eight shape at the tail position.
[0008] Preferably, a main rod connector is provided at the center of the body, and the kite main rod passes through the main rod connector.
[0009] Preferably, a head keel is provided on both sides of the head position, and the head keel is distributed at the edge of the head position.
[0010] Preferably, the outer portion of the wing strut is inserted into the leading edge of the wing position, the inner portion of the wing strut is exposed, and the inner end of the wing strut is inserted into the first cross-shaped connecting node.
[0011] Preferably, the two tail struts are arranged symmetrically from left to right.
[0012] As a preferred option, a crescent-shaped storage bag is included.
[0013] Preferably, the main pole connector is equipped with a kite line connection point.
[0014] Preferably, the head keel and the wing struts are connected as a single unit.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] (1) The bird-shaped kite with a longitudinal support structure provided by this utility model adopts a longitudinal support kite main pole design and removes the transverse support pole; the longitudinal support kite main pole can cope with greater wind force. The reason is that when facing greater wind force, the kite without transverse support pole can produce greater deformation, thereby reducing the area of the windward surface and greatly reducing the risk of the kite breaking.
[0017] (2) The bird-shaped kite with a longitudinal support structure provided by this utility model has the ends of the wing support rods on both sides fixedly connected to the cross connection node. This design can realize the opening of the wing position of the kite surface, while preventing the wing support rods from coming off the cross connection node. When facing strong winds, the wing position of the kite surface still tends to open even after a certain deformation. The tendency of the wing position to open can effectively prevent the complete loss of the windward surface, which would eventually cause the kite to fall.
[0018] (3) The bird-shaped kite with a longitudinal support structure provided by this utility model has its wing support rods removed from one of the cross connection nodes and its tail support rods removed from the other of the cross connection nodes. The main rod of the kite is then removed from the head support point, the main rod connection head and the tail support point. The head of the kite surface is folded towards the body of the kite surface and the tail of the kite surface is folded towards the body of the kite surface. Finally, the kite is folded in half again with the central axis as the reference. After folding, the kite is stored in a crescent-shaped storage bag. Attached Figure Description

The head ribs 15 are integrally connected with the wing struts 3, which enhances the stability of the head position 5 of the kite surface 1 when exposed to wind.
[0029] To enhance the stability of the tail section 8 of the kite surface 1 when exposed to wind, tail support rods 4 arranged in a V-shape are provided at the tail section 8, with the two tail support rods 4 symmetrically arranged on the left and right. The inner ends of the two tail support rods 4 are respectively inserted into cross-shaped connecting nodes 6 for fixation. Two tail wing support points 17 are provided at the tail section 8, and the outer ends of the two tail support rods 4 are respectively inserted into the two tail wing support points 17 for fixation.
[0030] For easy storage, the device also includes a crescent-shaped storage bag 13. The wing support rods 3 on both sides are removed from the cross connection node 10, and the tail support rods on both sides are removed from the cross connection node 26. The kite main rod 2 is then removed from the head support point 9, the main rod connector 11, and the tail support point 10. The head position 5 of the kite surface 1 is folded towards the body position 6, and the tail position 8 of the kite surface 1 is folded towards the body position 6. Finally, the kite surface 1 is folded in half again along the central axis. After folding, the kite surface 1 is stored in the crescent-shaped storage bag 13.
