Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of ex-situ conservation technology for wild animals, and in particular to a Komodo dragon conservation device. Background Technology

[0002] The Komodo dragon, also known as the Komodo monitor lizard, belongs to the genus *Variegata* in the family Varanidae. It can grow up to 3 meters long and weigh about 90 kilograms, making it the largest living lizard in the world. It is found only on four islands in Indonesia. Komodo dragons are super predators within their range. Any creature they can defeat and kill is within their diet; from invertebrates and birds to large mammals like water buffalo. Therefore, they pose a significant danger to humans.

[0003] As an endangered large reptile, the Komodo dragon is extremely sensitive to egg quality and environmental conditions during its breeding and incubation process. In captivity, due to factors such as space constraints, fluctuations in environmental parameters, and human interference, the Komodo dragon's reproductive behavior is easily suppressed, leading to problems such as decreased fertilization rates, abnormal embryonic development, and hatching failures, resulting in a low reproductive success rate. Utility Model Content

[0013] The center-to-center distance between all fixed pulley assemblies is equal.

[0014] In one embodiment, all the fixed pulleys in each fixed pulley assembly are located on the same sidewall.

[0015] In one embodiment, the fixed pulley assembly includes at least two fixed pulleys, and the extension direction of the line connecting the last contact point of the traction rope and one of the fixed pulleys with the initial contact point of the traction rope and the other fixed pulley is defined as a first direction, and the extension direction of the line connecting the centers of the two fixed pulleys is defined as a second direction, and the first direction intersects the second direction.

[0016] In one embodiment, all the fixed pulley assemblies are arranged on at least two sidewalls of the receiving cavity.

[0017] In one embodiment, the first fixed pulley that the traction rope contacts when it enters the fixed pulley assembly from the traction mechanism is defined as the first fixed pulley, and the last fixed pulley before the traction rope is connected to the camera is defined as the last fixed pulley.

[0018] All fixed pulley assemblies consist of three sets of fixed pulley assemblies. The first fixed pulley in each of the three sets forms the first set, and the central axis of all the first fixed pulleys in the first set is on the first surface. The last fixed pulley in each of the three sets forms the second set, and the central axis of all the last fixed pulleys in the second set is on the second surface. The first surface and the second surface are not the same surface.

[0019] In one embodiment, the first surface and the second surface are parallel to each other; and / or

[0020] Both the first and second faces are perpendicular to the direction of gravity.

[0021] In one embodiment, all fixed pulley assemblies include four sets of fixed pulley assemblies, and the receiving cavity has a first wall and a second wall disposed opposite to each other, wherein two sets of fixed pulley assemblies are disposed on the first wall and the other two sets of fixed pulley assemblies are disposed on the second wall;

[0022] Define the first fixed pulley that the traction rope contacts when it enters the fixed pulley assembly from the traction mechanism as the first fixed pulley, and define the last fixed pulley before the traction rope is connected to the camera as the last fixed pulley;

[0023] The first fixed pulley in each of the four fixed pulley assemblies forms the third group, and the central axis of all the first fixed pulleys in the third group is on the third plane.

One end of the traction rope is connected to the second gate, and the other end extends out of the housing through a through-hole after passing through a fixed pulley assembly, connecting to the traction mechanism. This Komodo dragon conservation device is used for Komodo dragon conservation. The position of the camera is adjusted through the cooperation of the fixed pulley assembly and the traction rope. The pulley and traction rope are not actively heated components, and the flexible transmission of the traction rope supports low-speed camera movement. Since animals are more alert and sensitive during the breeding season, the slow movement of the camera reduces animal stress and minimizes the impact on Komodo dragon reproduction. Compared to currently mature 3D mobile devices, the design of this application has more advantages. For example, robotic arms require a large space and can easily frighten animals, while the pulleys in this application occupy less space and are located on the inner wall of the housing cavity, reducing the impact on Komodo dragon incubation. Furthermore, electrically driven devices can easily generate significant noise that interferes with Komodo dragon incubation, while the flexible transmission of the traction rope in this application produces less noise. Also, electronic devices may emit electromagnetic radiation that negatively affects the Komodo dragon's senses, while the pulleys and traction rope in this application do not cause radiation interference to the Komodo dragon. This application aims to improve the breeding success rate of monitor lizards by securely monitoring their behavior. Attached Figure Description

However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0035] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0036] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0037] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0038] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium.

If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0040] For reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of an embodiment of the Komodo dragon conservation device 100 provided in this application. Figure 2This is a plan view of the outer casing 1. This application provides a Komodo dragon conservation device 100 for monitor lizards, including Komodo dragons, Bengal monitor lizards, and savannah monitor lizards. The Komodo dragon conservation device 100 includes a casing 1 with a accommodating cavity A, a camera 2 installed in the accommodating cavity A, multiple fixed pulley assemblies located within the accommodating cavity A, a traction mechanism 3 located outside the accommodating cavity A, and multiple traction ropes. The casing 1 with the accommodating cavity A provides a closed Komodo dragon conservation environment. Through holes are provided in the side walls for the traction ropes to pass through. The camera 2 is installed inside the accommodating cavity A to monitor the monitor lizard's behavior in real time. By arranging the traction ropes and fixed pulley assemblies in a one-to-one correspondence, with one end of each traction rope connected to the camera 2 and the other end passing through the fixed pulley assembly and extending out of the casing 1 via the through holes to connect to the traction mechanism 3, the camera 2 can move freely through the traction ropes.

[0041] This application proposes an innovative design that uses a fixed pulley assembly and a traction rope to adjust the position of camera 2, aiming to provide a safe and low-interference monitoring solution for the Komodo dragon incubation environment, thereby improving the breeding success rate of Komodo dragons. The core of the Komodo dragon conservation device 100 in this application lies in utilizing the mechanical properties of the fixed pulley and flexible traction rope to achieve precise, low-speed movement of camera 2, while preventing the negative impacts that may be caused by traditional equipment.

[0042] First, the fixed pulley and traction rope are not actively heated components, so they will not alter the temperature balance of the incubation environment due to heat generation. Furthermore, the flexible transmission characteristics of the traction rope allow the camera 2 to move at extremely low speeds, effectively reducing abrupt changes in airflow within the containment cavity A, thereby minimizing interference with the monitor lizard's incubation process. This design is particularly suitable for monitor lizards, reptiles sensitive to environmental changes, allowing them to complete their reproductive behavior naturally.

[0043] Compared with currently mature 3D mobile devices, the design of this application has significant advantages. For example, while traditional robotic arms perform well in spatial positioning, their rigid structure requires a large space and can easily squeeze or touch the monitor lizard eggs, potentially posing a direct threat to the incubation process. In contrast, the pulley system of this application, by being arranged on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity A, minimizes space occupation and reduces interference with the monitor lizard's incubation activities.

[0044] Furthermore, compared to electric drive systems, electric drive systems can generate significant noise during operation, posing a potential threat to monitor lizards, which are sensitive to sound. The flexible transmission design of this application achieves smooth movement via a traction rope, operating almost silently and providing a quiet incubation environment for the monitor lizards. Simultaneously, traditional electronic devices may negatively impact the development of monitor lizards due to electromagnetic radiation, while the mechanical transmission solution of this application mitigates this problem.

[0045] The Komodo dragon conservation device 100 described in this application can record the behavior patterns of Komodo dragons in real time through this safe and low-interference monitoring method, providing researchers with high-quality observational data. This data not only helps to gain a deeper understanding of the reproductive habits of Komodo dragons, but also provides a scientific basis for optimizing the incubation environment, thereby significantly improving the reproductive success rate of Komodo dragons. This design demonstrates great application potential in protecting the reproductive activities of rare reptiles, while also opening up new directions for ecological monitoring technology.

[0046] In some embodiments of this application, reference continues to be made to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 and in conjunction with reference Figure 3 , Figure 3 This application shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the traction rope connecting the traction mechanism 3, the fixed pulley assembly, and the camera 2. The first fixed pulley that the traction rope contacts upon entering the fixed pulley assembly from the traction mechanism 3 is defined as the first fixed pulley C, and the last fixed pulley before the traction rope connects to the camera 2 is defined as the last fixed pulley W. The distance between the center of the first fixed pulley C and the center of the last fixed pulley W in the same fixed pulley assembly is defined as the center-to-center distance. The line connecting the center points of any two last fixed pulleys W extends at an angle to the sidewall of the accommodating cavity A; and / or, the center-to-center distances of all fixed pulley assemblies are equal.

[0047] With the following definition: "The first fixed pulley that the traction rope contacts upon entering the fixed pulley assembly from the traction mechanism 3 is defined as the first fixed pulley C, and the last fixed pulley before the traction rope connects to the camera 2 is defined as the last fixed pulley W. The distance between the center of the first fixed pulley C and the center of the last fixed pulley W in the same fixed pulley assembly is defined as the center distance; wherein the extension direction of the line connecting the center points of every two last fixed pulleys W is set at an angle to the side wall of the accommodating cavity A," by adjusting the pulley layout and traction rope path, the camera 2 can prevent direct contact with the inner wall of the accommodating cavity A during movement, thereby significantly reducing the risk of friction. This design ensures that the camera 2 maintains an appropriate distance from the inner wall when moving in complex spaces, reducing wall-hugging phenomena caused by unreasonable path design. By reducing friction and mechanical stress, the service life of the camera 2 and the accommodating cavity A is extended.

[0048] In the case where "the first fixed pulley that the traction rope contacts when it enters the fixed pulley assembly from the traction mechanism 3 is defined as the first fixed pulley C, the last fixed pulley before the traction rope connects to the camera 2 is defined as the last fixed pulley W, and the distance between the center of the first fixed pulley C and the center of the last fixed pulley W in the same fixed pulley assembly is defined as the center distance, and the center distances of all fixed pulley assemblies are equal," the center distances are set at an angle, which can be acute or obtuse, as long as it is not a straight line. Equal center distances of all fixed pulley assemblies improve the uniformity of tension distribution of the traction rope in the pulley system. This uniformity helps reduce camera 2 vibration or offset caused by uneven tension, thereby improving the motion stability of camera 2. Furthermore, the uniform center distance design makes the traction rope path smoother and more regular, reducing the risk of abrupt changes or irregular bends in the path. This helps camera 2 maintain a stable trajectory during movement and prevents traction rope entanglement caused by unreasonable path design.

[0049] The aforementioned "defining the first fixed pulley that the traction rope contacts when it enters the fixed pulley assembly from the traction mechanism 3 as the first fixed pulley C, the last fixed pulley before the traction rope connects to the camera 2 as the last fixed pulley W, and the distance between the center of the first fixed pulley C and the center of the last fixed pulley W in the same fixed pulley assembly as the center distance; wherein, the extension direction of the line connecting the center points of every two last fixed pulleys W is set at an angle to the side wall of the accommodating cavity A" and "defining the first fixed pulley that the traction rope contacts when it enters the fixed pulley assembly from the traction mechanism 3 as the first fixed pulley C, the last fixed pulley before the traction rope connects to the camera 2 as the last fixed pulley W, and the distance between the center of the first fixed pulley C and the center of the last fixed pulley W in the same fixed pulley assembly as the center distance, and the center distance of all fixed pulley assemblies being equal" can be arbitrarily combined according to actual conditions.

[0050] In some embodiments of this application, reference continues to be made to... Figures 1 to 3 All the fixed pulleys in each fixed pulley assembly are located on the same side wall.

[0051] This design ensures that the path of the traction rope from camera 2 to the through hole is approximately straight, preventing rope tangling caused by multiple sidewalls. All fixed pulleys in each pulley assembly are located on the same sidewall, reducing the risk of fragmentation in the central space of the accommodating cavity A due to multi-sided distribution and minimizing the space occupied by the traction rope. Furthermore, all fixed pulleys in the same pulley group are concentrated on a modular sideplate that can be quickly disassembled, facilitating maintenance. With all fixed pulleys in the same pulley group concentrated on the same sidewall, the force system of camera 2 forms a single-sided planar force system. The low-fluctuation characteristics of this single-sided force system make the movement of camera 2 smoother, reducing the risk of sudden acceleration disturbing the monitor lizard.

[0052] In some embodiments of this application, reference continues to be made to... Figures 1 to 3 The fixed pulley assembly includes at least two fixed pulleys. The extension direction of the line connecting the last contact point of the traction rope and one of the fixed pulleys to the first contact point of the traction rope and the other fixed pulley is defined as the first direction F1. The extension direction of the line connecting the centers of the two fixed pulleys is defined as the second direction F2. The first direction F1 and the second direction F2 intersect.

[0053] With this design, the traction rope uses an S-shaped winding method, alternating in opposite directions around two fixed pulleys. For example, one fixed pulley winds clockwise for the lower half of the turn, while the other winds counterclockwise for the upper half. This ensures that the pressure at the contact points between the traction rope and the fixed pulleys is symmetrically distributed, reducing wear on the traction rope. Furthermore, the S-shaped winding method creates a self-locking effect, preventing the traction rope from slipping off.

[0054] In some embodiments of this application, reference continues to be made to... Figures 1 to 3 All fixed pulley assemblies are arranged on at least two side walls of the accommodating cavity A.

[0055] This design, with the fixed pulley assembly distributed on at least two side walls, allows camera 2 to experience traction forces in multiple directions. This multi-directional force enables camera 2 to move more flexibly within the accommodating cavity A, no longer limited to movement in a single plane or direction. It provides camera 2 with more degrees of freedom in motion adjustment, significantly improving its ability to fully cover and track the monitor lizard's activity trajectory. Furthermore, distributing the fixed pulley assembly on at least two side walls ensures a more balanced distribution of forces on camera 2 during movement. This balance helps reduce camera 2's swaying and offset during movement, improving its operational stability and resulting in clearer, more stable monitoring footage.

[0056] In some embodiments of this application, reference continues to be made to... Figures 1 to 3 The first fixed pulley that the traction rope contacts when it enters the fixed pulley assembly from the traction mechanism 3 is defined as the first fixed pulley C, and the last fixed pulley before the traction rope connects to the camera 2 is defined as the last fixed pulley W. All fixed pulley assemblies consist of three groups. The first fixed pulley C in each of the three groups forms the first group, where the central axis of all first fixed pulleys in the first group lies on the first surface. The last fixed pulley W in each of the three groups forms the second group, where the central axis of all last fixed pulleys in the second group lies on the second surface. The first and second surfaces are not the same.

[0057] With this design, the first fixed pulley (plane C) adjusts the initial angle of the traction rope, while the last fixed pulley (plane W) precisely controls the final posture of the camera 2, forming a spatial dual-plane constraint that keeps the camera 2 stable during movement and reduces shaking. Furthermore, the fact that the first and second planes are not coplanar prevents the traction rope from crossing or knotting during movement, improving the practicality of the Komodo dragon conservation device 100.

[0058] In some embodiments of this application, reference continues to be made to... Figures 1 to 3 The first and second faces are parallel to each other; and / or, both the first and second faces are perpendicular to the direction of gravity.

[0059] When the first and second surfaces are parallel to each other, the deflection angle of the traction rope is symmetrically distributed in space, which makes the camera 2 move in a straight line or a stable curved path, further improving the stability of the camera 2's movement.

[0060] With both the first and second sides perpendicular to the direction of gravity, the tension of the traction rope is always decomposed in the vertical direction, reducing the risk of wear on the fixed pulley or traction rope derailment caused by lateral force, and further improving the reliability and durability of the Komodo dragon conservation device 100.

[0061] The aforementioned "the first and second surfaces are parallel to each other" and "both the first and second surfaces are perpendicular to the direction of gravity" can be combined arbitrarily according to the actual situation.

[0062] In some embodiments of this application, reference continues to be made to... Figures 1 to 3 All fixed pulley assemblies include four sets of fixed pulley assemblies. The accommodating cavity A has a first wall B1 and a second wall B2 that are disposed opposite to each other, wherein two sets of fixed pulley assemblies are disposed on the first wall B1 and the other two sets of fixed pulley assemblies are disposed on the second wall B2.

[0063] Define the first fixed pulley that the traction rope contacts when it enters the fixed pulley assembly from the traction mechanism 3 as the first fixed pulley C, and define the last fixed pulley before the traction rope is connected to the camera 2 as the last fixed pulley W;

[0064] The first fixed pulley C in each of the four fixed pulley assemblies forms the third group. The central axis of all the first fixed pulleys in the third group is on the third plane. The last fixed pulley W in each of the four fixed pulley assemblies forms the fourth group. The central axis of all the last fixed pulleys in the fourth group is on the fourth plane, and the third and fourth planes are not on the same plane.

[0065] This design, with its four traction ropes providing multi-directional constraints and fixing the camera 2's posture, enables stable movement and angle adjustment of the camera 2 in three-dimensional space, fulfilling the panoramic monitoring needs of the Komodo dragon. Furthermore, the four traction ropes share the weight of the camera 2, reducing the pressure on individual ropes and extending the overall lifespan of the Komodo dragon conservation device 100. Even if one traction rope breaks unexpectedly, the remaining ropes can still maintain the basic suspension function of the camera 2, reducing the risk of the camera 2 falling and being damaged, and buying time for emergency repairs, further enhancing the safety and reliability of the Komodo dragon conservation device 100.

[0066] Furthermore, each of the first wall B1 and the second wall B2 is equipped with two sets of fixed pulley assemblies, which can balance the forces on both sides and reduce the risk of stress concentration on a single side. In addition, the pulleys on the first wall B1 and the pulleys on the second wall B2 form a couple structure, which can effectively reduce the deflection torque generated by the rotational motion.

[0067] In addition, you can refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The last fixed pulley W of the four fixed pulley assemblies are, in order, the first fixed pulley D1, the second fixed pulley D2, the third fixed pulley D3, and the fourth fixed pulley D4. The four traction ropes are, in clockwise order, the first traction rope S1, the second traction rope S2, the third traction rope S3, and the fourth traction rope S4. The first traction rope S1 and the third traction rope S3 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the camera 2, and the second traction rope S2 and the fourth traction rope S4 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the camera 2, thus forming a balanced tension system to prevent the camera 2 from tilting or swaying due to unilateral force application, making the movement of the camera 2 more stable, improving the stability and clarity of the shooting image, and making it suitable for the continuous tracking shooting needs when the monitor lizard is moving fast.

[0068] In this way, the degree of freedom of camera 2 in the direction from the first fixed pulley D1 to the third fixed pulley D3 can be adjusted by the first traction rope S1 or by the third traction rope S3, which allows for more flexible control of the movement of camera 2 and more precise adjustment.

[0069] Similarly, the degree of freedom of camera 2 in the direction from the second fixed pulley D2 to the fourth fixed pulley D4 can be adjusted by means of the second traction rope S2 or the fourth traction rope S4, further improving the flexibility of camera 2's movement and enabling more precise adjustment of camera 2.

[0070] In some embodiments of this application, reference continues to be made to... Figures 1 to 3 The third and fourth surfaces are parallel to each other; and / or, both the third and fourth surfaces are perpendicular to the direction of gravity.

[0071] In the case where "the third and fourth surfaces are parallel to each other", the deflection angle of the traction rope is symmetrically distributed in space, which makes the camera 2 move in a straight line or a stable curved motion, further improving the stability of the camera 2's motion.

[0072] With the third and fourth sides both perpendicular to the direction of gravity, the tension of the traction rope is always decomposed in the vertical direction, reducing the risk of wear on the fixed pulley or traction rope derailment caused by lateral force, and further improving the reliability and durability of the Komodo dragon conservation device 100.

[0073] The aforementioned "the third and fourth surfaces are parallel to each other" and "the third and fourth surfaces are both perpendicular to the direction of gravity" can be combined arbitrarily according to the actual situation.

[0074] In some embodiments of this application, reference continues to be made to... Figures 1 to 3 The Komodo dragon conservation device 100 also includes a first door T1, which is installed on the side wall of the housing 1. The first door T1 includes a first sub-door Z1 and a second sub-door Z2 that are connected to each other and spaced apart along the direction of gravity. The first sub-door Z1 is located on the side of the second sub-door Z2 away from the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity A, and an observation window G is provided on the first sub-door Z1; and / or, the Komodo dragon conservation device 100 also includes a second door T2, one end of which is connected to the second door T2, and the other end of which passes through a fixed pulley assembly and extends out of the housing 1 through a through hole and is connected to the traction mechanism 3.

[0075] In the case where "the Komodo dragon conservation device 100 also includes a first door T1, which is installed on the side wall of the housing 1, and the first door T1 includes a first sub-door Z1 and a second sub-door Z2 that are connected to each other and spaced apart along the direction of gravity, the first sub-door Z1 is located on the side of the second sub-door Z2 away from the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity A, and an observation window G is provided on the first sub-door Z1", the conservationist can operate flexibly according to actual needs. For example, only the first sub-door Z1 needs to be opened when observing the monitor lizard, while the second sub-door Z2 needs to be opened when feeding. Traditional Komodo dragon conservation devices 100 may require multiple steps or tools to complete the tasks of observing the monitor lizard and feeding it, while the Komodo dragon conservation device 100 of this application achieves these functions through a simple door design, greatly reducing the number of operating steps and required tools. Meanwhile, an observation window G is provided on the first sub-gate Z1, which allows keepers to observe the movement and location of the monitor lizard inside the containment cavity A from the outside. At the same time, the animals are less likely to see the keepers, making it easier to detect abnormal behaviors of the monitor lizard in a timely manner and reducing the frequency of animal disturbance. The observation window G can also be used to study its natural behaviors such as eating, sleeping, and mating, which helps to better understand the ecological habits of the monitor lizard.

[0076] In this application, the dimensions of the first sub-door Z1 and the second sub-door Z2 in the direction of gravity can be set to be approximately the same. When the first sub-door Z1 and the second sub-door Z2 are opened or closed, since the first sub-door Z1 and the second sub-door Z2 are the same size, the first door body T1 is subjected to more uniform force, which reduces the risk of damage to the first door body T1 or accidental opening due to uneven force.

[0077] In addition, when opening and closing the first door T1, the first sub-door Z1 and the second sub-door Z2 are nearly identical in size, providing a consistent operational feel and reducing the need to adapt to doors of different sizes, thus improving ease of operation. The identical size also means that the force and speed of opening and closing the first sub-door Z1 and the second sub-door Z2 can be more uniform, allowing caregivers to complete the opening and closing actions more quickly and improving work efficiency.

[0078] In the Komodo dragon conservation device 100, a second door T2 is also included. One end of a traction rope is connected to the second door T2, and the other end extends out of the housing 1 via a through-hole after passing through a fixed pulley assembly and is connected to the traction mechanism 3. The movement of the second door T2 is achieved through the fixed pulley assembly, the traction rope, and the traction mechanism 3, allowing the second door T2 to open and close smoothly and steadily. The second door T2 does not require additional space to open, saving space in the accommodating cavity A and providing the Komodo dragon with more room to move around. The second door T2 connects to the outdoor sandy area, while the indoor environment provides a muddy environment, meeting the animal's needs for sunbathing and using different environments.

[0079] In addition, the Komodo dragon conservation device 100 of this application also includes a humidifier and a circulation element. The humidifier maintains a suitable humidity level within the containment cavity A, simulating the natural habitat environment of the Komodo dragon. Suitable humidity helps the dragon maintain skin moisture and elasticity, preventing problems such as dry skin and difficulty shedding. Komodo dragons are very sensitive to temperature; the thermostat maintains a constant temperature within the containment cavity A, reducing the risk of stress caused by temperature fluctuations. A constant temperature also aids in the dragon's metabolism, promoting normal feeding, digestion, and growth. The circulation element promotes good airflow within the containment cavity A, which is beneficial to the respiratory health of the dragon and reduces the occurrence of respiratory diseases. Furthermore, airflow evenly distributes temperature and humidity within the cavity, preventing localized overheating or excessive humidity within the containment cavity A, providing a more stable living environment for the dragon.

[0080] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0081] The above embodiments merely illustrate several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
