Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of turtle farming technology, specifically a turtle farming box. Background Technology

[0002] Soft-shelled turtle is a common name for turtle, also called mud turtle or water turtle. It is an oviparous amphibian reptile and a general term for soft-shelled aquatic turtles of the family Trionychidae in the order Testudines.

[0003] In existing technologies, turtles are sometimes raised in breeding boxes. These boxes are simply containers into which water is placed. However, research has revealed that turtles, as poikilothermic aquatic reptiles, have important physiological regulatory and health maintenance functions in their basking behavior during breeding.

[0004] However, the existing tanks have straight sides, which do not provide good conditions for basking. Moreover, when catching turtles, workers need to scoop them out one by one, which is very time-consuming and affects efficiency. Therefore, the existing breeding tanks need to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a turtle breeding box, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A turtle breeding box includes a box body, with several box legs arranged in a rectangular array fixed to the bottom side of the box body. The box body is closed on all sides and open at the top. The two side panels of the box body spread out obliquely upward to form a basking slope for the turtles to bask in the sun.

[0008] To prevent turtles from slipping while sunbathing, a rotating anti-slip structure is provided on the inner side of the sunbathing slope. The anti-slip structure includes an inverted U-shaped frame with the opening facing downwards. The top of the frame is rotatably installed on the top of the sunbathing slope. Several horizontal connecting rods arranged at equal intervals are fixed between the two side plates of the frame, and several diagonal connecting rods arranged at equal intervals are fixed between the horizontal connecting rods. Both the diagonal connecting rods and the horizontal connecting rods rest against the slope surface of the sunbathing slope.

[0009] To enable the anti-slip structure to rotate, two symmetrically arranged ear plates are fixed at the top of the sunbathing slope, and a round shaft is fixed between the two ear plates. The frame is rotatably mounted on the round shaft, and a rotating sleeve is rotatably mounted on the round shaft. A right-angle rod is fixed between the rotating sleeve and the top of the frame, and a pull ring is fixed diagonally above the rotating sleeve.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: the basking slope can be used for turtles to bask, and the anti-slip structure prevents turtles from slipping and falling into the water while basking. The structure is simple and highly practical. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0019] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a turtle breeding box, including a box body 1. Several box legs 2 arranged in a rectangular array are fixed on the bottom side of the outer box body 1. The box body 1 is closed on all sides and open at the top. The two side plates of the box body 1 spread out obliquely upward to form a basking slope for the turtles to bask in the sun.

[0020] like Figure 4-5 As shown, in order to prevent turtles from slipping while sunbathing, a rotating anti-slip structure is provided on the inner side of the sunbathing slope. The anti-slip structure includes an inverted U-shaped frame 3 with the opening of the frame 3 facing downwards. The top of the frame 3 is rotatably installed on the top of the sunbathing slope. Several horizontal connecting rods 4 are fixed between the two side plates of the frame 3 at equal intervals. Several diagonal connecting rods 5 are fixed between the horizontal connecting rods 4 at equal intervals. The diagonal connecting rods 5 and the horizontal connecting rods 4 both abut against the slope surface of the sunbathing slope.

[0021] like Figure 4-5As shown, in order to achieve the rotation of the anti-slip structure, two symmetrically arranged ear plates 6 are fixed at the top of the sunbathing slope, and a round shaft 7 is fixed between the two ear plates 6. The frame 3 is rotatably mounted on the round shaft 7, and a rotating sleeve 8 is rotatably mounted on the round shaft 7. A right-angle rod 9 is fixed between the rotating sleeve 8 and the top of the frame 3, and a pull ring 10 is fixed diagonally above the rotating sleeve 8.

[0022] The working principle of this utility model will be explained in detail below: Place the frame 3 on the broken surface of the sun-drying slope, and then inject water into the box 1. It should be noted that the water volume should exceed one end of half the height of the box 1. Figure 1 As shown, the turtles are then placed in box 1 for rearing. When some turtles need to bask, they will climb up the anti-slip structure to the surface of the water to bask. The horizontal connecting rod 4 and the diagonal connecting rod 5 prevent the turtles from slipping and falling back into the water. If multiple turtles need to bask at once manually, pull the pull ring 10 downwards to rotate the rotating sleeve 8 around the circular shaft 7, which in turn rotates the anti-slip structure upwards, lifting the turtles out of the water for collective basking. To remove a turtle, pull the pull ring 10 downwards until the anti-slip structure extends out of the box opening and tilts. Figure 6 As shown, the turtle can be placed in box 1 on the ground. A transfer box can be placed on the ground and filled with water, so that the turtle can be directly transferred to the water in the transfer box.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: the basking slope can be used for turtles to bask, and the anti-slip structure prevents turtles from slipping and falling into the water while basking. The structure is simple and highly practical.

[0024] Although 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 alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
