Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of biomimetic nest box technology, and in particular to a biomimetic habitat creation nest box for urban forest parks. Background Technology
[0002] The biomimetic habitat creation nest box in urban forest parks is an ecological facility designed by combining biomimetic principles and the ecological needs of birds. It aims to provide suitable breeding and habitat places for urban birds by simulating the structure and environment of natural bird nests, while enhancing the biodiversity of urban ecosystems.
[0003] However, existing nest boxes have the following problems: birds live in the nest box during the breeding season, but usually leave the nest box after the breeding season ends. The nest box will contain the droppings and food scraps of the chicks, which can easily breed bacteria and parasites, which is not good for the health of the birds. In addition, the nest box is usually a one-piece unit, which makes it inconvenient to clean the inside, which poses a risk when the birds use the nest box later. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the presence of chick droppings and food scraps inside, which can easily breed bacteria and parasites and are detrimental to the health of birds. Furthermore, nest boxes are generally one-piece structures, making it inconvenient to clean their interiors and posing potential risks to birds when they use them later. Therefore, this invention proposes a biomimetic habitat creation nest box for urban forest parks.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A biomimetic habitat creation nest box for urban forest parks includes a box body. The front side of the box body is provided with a nest entrance for birds to enter. Two support columns are fixedly connected to the top of the box body, and a shielding plate is fixedly connected to the top of the two support columns. An installation plate is fixedly connected to the rear side of the box body to facilitate the installation of the box body. The installation plate has installation holes for easy installation. The bottom of the box body is provided with a disassembly and assembly mechanism to facilitate cleaning the interior.
[0007] In one possible design, the disassembly and assembly mechanism includes a base plate, a base block, two locking blocks, two retaining rings, and a handle. The base plate is located on the bottom inner wall of the housing and fits into the housing. The top of the base block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate. The handle is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the base block by bolts. The two locking blocks are respectively fixedly mounted on both sides of the same base block. The two retaining rings respectively fit into the two locking blocks and are rotatably mounted on both sides of the same housing. The two retaining rings are respectively sleeved on the two locking blocks.
[0008] In one possible design, the base plate has two drainage holes, each of which is fixedly connected to a drainage pipe to facilitate the discharge of water. Both drainage pipes are inclined and have perforated plates fixedly installed on their inner walls to facilitate the blocking of foreign objects.
[0009] In one possible design, observation windows are provided on both sides of the enclosure to facilitate observation of the interior of the enclosure, and transparent glass is provided on the inner wall of both observation windows.
[0010] In one possible design, side frames are fixedly installed on both sides of the housing, with the two side frames located outside the observation window. Each of the two side frames has a sliding groove, and the inner walls of the two sliding grooves are slidably connected to side plates for covering the observation window. Each of the two side plates has a connecting block fixedly connected to its top. The two connecting blocks and the housing are respectively provided with threaded holes and threaded grooves. The two threaded holes and the two threaded grooves are respectively threadedly connected to fixing posts for fixing the side plates. Each of the two fixing posts has a rotating handle fixedly connected to one end.
[0011] In one possible design, side holes are provided on both sides of the box to facilitate ventilation. Filter screens are fixed to the inner walls of both side holes by bolts. Baffles are fixed to both sides of the box by bolts, and the two baffles are respectively placed over the two side holes to reduce rainwater infiltration.
[0012] In this application, after the nest box is installed in a suitable location in the urban forest park, birds enter the nest box through the nest opening. The baffle on the top of the nest box serves to protect it from wind and rain, creating a relatively stable microenvironment inside the nest box. The side holes on both sides of the box ensure air circulation inside the nest box, while the filter screen prevents external debris and insects from entering. The baffle reduces rainwater infiltration and prevents rainwater from affecting the inside of the nest box. Operators can observe the activities of the birds inside the nest box through the observation window. When it is necessary to clean the inside of the nest box, it can be easily operated through the disassembly and assembly mechanism.
[0013] When it is necessary to clean the inside of the hive, the operator holds the handle, rotates the retaining ring to disengage it from the retaining block, and releases the fixation of the bottom plate and bottom block. Then, the bottom plate and bottom block are pulled out from the bottom of the hive through the handle to clean the inside of the hive. After cleaning, the bottom plate is pushed into the bottom of the hive to align the retaining block with the retaining ring. Then, the retaining ring is rotated to re-fit onto the retaining block to complete the installation and ensure the airtightness and stability of the hive.
[0014] When water accumulates inside the hive, it enters the drain pipe through two drain holes on the bottom plate. Due to the inclined design of the drain pipe, the water flows smoothly out of the hive under the action of gravity. The perforated plate on the inner wall of the drain pipe can block foreign objects, preventing external debris from entering the drain pipe and the inside of the hive, thus ensuring the smooth flow of the drainage system.
[0015] When not observing the birds' activities inside the nest box, the side panel is fixed in the groove of the side frame by the fixing post, covering the observation window and protecting the privacy and safety of the birds inside the nest box. When observation is needed, the operator rotates the fixing post to disengage it from the threaded hole and threaded groove, and then slides the side panel to expose the observation window. The birds' activities inside the nest box can then be observed through the transparent glass. After observation, the side panel is slid back to its original position and the fixing post is rotated to fix it in place.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] In this invention, the design of the disassembly and assembly mechanism allows operators to clean the inside of the nest box conveniently and quickly without disassembling the entire nest box, saving time and effort and facilitating subsequent use of the nest box by birds. The observation window allows operators to observe the activities of birds inside the nest box without opening it, reducing interference with the birds. The side panel can cover the observation window, protecting the privacy and safety of the birds inside the nest box when not observing, increasing the birds' sense of security, and thus increasing the likelihood of birds living in the nest box.
