Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bird leg ring technology, and in particular to a bird leg ring that prevents birds from opening it. Background Technology

[0002] Leg bands, designed to prevent birds from opening their legs, are of great significance in bird research, conservation, and aquaculture. In bird research, researchers rely on leg bands to track bird migration routes and monitor population dynamics; in bird conservation, leg bands identify individuals and provide information on the survival status and activity range of rare birds; and in the aquaculture industry, leg bands are used for poultry management and traceability. Their applications span various bird-related locations, including field bird monitoring stations, zoos, and bird farms. By securely attaching the leg band to the bird's leg, it provides a long-term, stable identifier, helping staff obtain accurate bird information. Currently, the practical application of leg bands typically requires the following technologies:

[0003] 1. Robust and adaptable fastening technology: Ensures that the bird leg band can be firmly fixed to the bird's foot, adapting to the diverse living habits and activity patterns of birds, and is not easy to fall off in various environments.

[0004] 2. Safe and harmless materials and technology: Select materials that are non-toxic and non-irritating to birds to avoid harming their feet and ensure their health.

[0005] 3. Convenient labeling and reading technology: It can easily mark key information about birds and make it easy for staff to read, such as number, species, origin, etc.

[0006] 4. Reliable anti-disassembly technology: It has a structure or mechanism that effectively prevents birds from opening the leg band on their own, maintaining the integrity of the tag.

[0007] Currently, various bird leg band devices and methods are used to prevent birds from opening their legs. Some use traditional D-shaped buckle leg bands, which attempt to prevent birds from opening by fastening metal clips to the bird's leg. They can also be opened by pressing and rotating the straight edge, or closed by utilizing the elasticity of the clips. Others use leg bands made of one-piece molded plastic, which wrap around the bird's leg in a specific shape and secure it.

[0008] However, the above method has a prominent hardware structure problem. Although the metal buckle leg band seems secure, it can be opened by pressing the surface. Birds, due to initial discomfort, will often peck at it. Prolonged pecking can easily cause the buckle to open accidentally, resulting in the leg band being opened by the bird. This cannot guarantee the long-term effective wearing of the leg band, affecting the accurate acquisition and continuous tracking of information in bird research, conservation, and breeding. Summary of the Invention

[0009] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a bird leg band that prevents birds from opening it. It solves the technical problem that although metal buckle leg bands seem secure, they can be opened by pressing the surface. Birds, due to initial discomfort, will often peck at them, and prolonged pecking can easily cause the buckle to open accidentally, resulting in the leg band being opened by the bird. This makes it impossible to ensure the long-term effective wearing of the bird leg band, which affects the accurate acquisition and continuous tracking of information in bird research, conservation, and breeding.

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0011] A bird leg ring to prevent birds from opening includes a main body, a buckle rotatably connected inside the main body, a cylindrical through groove inside the main body, a rotating ring inside the main body, the buckle engaging the outer surface of the rotating ring, a fixed ring fixedly connected inside the main body, the rotating ring rotatably connected inside the fixed ring, and a spring fixedly connected to the inner surface of the main body.

[0012] Preferably, the spring is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the buckle, and a round rod is fixedly connected inside the main body of the bird's foot ring.

[0013] Preferably, the buckle is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the round rod, and an arc-shaped push block is provided on the outer surface of the rotating ring.

[0014] Preferably, the rotating ring body has a slot inside.

[0015] Preferably, the buckle is engaged with the outer surface of the slot, and the bird's foot ring body has an arc-shaped groove inside.

[0016] Preferably, the rotating ring is disposed inside the arc-shaped groove, and a storage ring is fixedly connected to the lower end of the bird foot ring body.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. When it is necessary to remove the bird leg band from the bird's foot, use a needle-like tool to insert into the cylindrical groove. After inserting the needle-like tool into the main body of the bird leg band along the inner wall of the cylindrical groove, insert the lower end of the buckle that is at the same level as the cylindrical groove. Use the needle-like tool to push the buckle to rotate and loosen the engagement with the rotating ring. Only then can you hold the rotating ring and rotate it to open it. Without the specified needle-like tool, the bird cannot reach into the cylindrical groove with its own limbs, thus making it impossible to open the bird leg band and ensure that the bird leg band is stably installed on the bird's foot.

[0019] 2. The storage ring installed at the lower end of the bird's foot ring can be inserted into a cylindrical protruding storage rack or storage plate when it is disassembled and idle. Placing the storage ring on these protrusions makes it convenient to collect and store the bird's foot ring in an orderly and stable manner. Attached Figure Description

[0026] This application provides a bird leg band that prevents birds from opening it. It effectively solves the problem that while metal buckle leg bands appear secure, they can be opened by pressing the surface. Birds, initially uncomfortable, often peck at them, causing the buckle to open accidentally over time. This compromises the long-term effectiveness of the leg band, affecting accurate information acquisition and continuous tracking in bird research, conservation, and breeding. When the leg band needs to be removed from the bird's foot, a needle-like tool is inserted into a cylindrical groove. After the needle-like tool is inserted into the leg band body along the inner wall of the groove, the lower end of the buckle, which is at the same level as the groove, is pushed by the needle-like tool to rotate and loosen the buckle's engagement with the rotating ring. Only then can the rotating ring be grasped and rotated to open it. Without the specified needle-like tool, birds cannot reach into the cylindrical groove with their limbs, thus preventing the leg band from opening and ensuring its stable installation on the bird's foot. Example

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the technical solution in this application embodiment effectively solves the problem that although metal buckle leg bands appear secure, they can be opened by pressing the surface. Birds, initially uncomfortable, will frequently peck at them, and prolonged pecking can easily cause the buckle to open accidentally, leading to the leg band being opened by the bird. This compromises the long-term effective wearing of the leg band, affecting the accurate acquisition and continuous tracking of information in bird research, conservation, and breeding. The overall concept is as follows: A bird leg band to prevent birds from opening, comprising a leg band body 11, with a buckle 12 rotatably connected inside the leg band body 11. The bird's foot ring body 11 has a cylindrical through groove 13 inside. A rotating ring 14 is located inside the main body 11. A buckle 12 is engaged with the outer surface of the rotating ring 14. A fixed ring 15 is fixedly connected inside the main body 11. The rotating ring 14 is rotatably connected inside the fixed ring 15. A spring 16 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the main body 11. The spring 16 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the buckle 12. A round rod 17 is fixedly connected inside the main body 11. The buckle 12 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the round rod 17. An arc-shaped push block 18 is provided on the outer surface of the rotating ring 14. The rotating ring 14 has a... The buckle 12 is engaged with the outer surface of the slot 19. After the rotating ring 14 extends into the arc-shaped groove 21, the arc-shaped push block 18 on its surface presses against the inclined surface of the right end of the buckle 12, causing it to rotate. When the buckle 12 rotates around the circular rod 17, it compresses the compression spring 16. After the rotating ring 14 extends into the bird foot ring body 11, the bird foot ring body 11, the rotating ring 14, and the fixed ring 15 form a circular bird foot ring. At this time, the buckle 12 loses its compressive force and rotates back to its original position under the elastic force of the spring 16, thus engaging the rotating ring 14 with the buckle 12. The bird leg ring is secured in the slot 19. When it is necessary to remove the bird leg ring from the bird's foot, a needle-like tool is inserted into the cylindrical groove 13. After the needle-like tool is inserted into the bird leg ring body 11 along the inner wall of the cylindrical groove 13, the lower end surface of the buckle 12, which is at the same level as the cylindrical groove 13, is pushed by the needle-like tool to rotate and loosen the buckle on the rotating ring 14. Only then can the rotating ring 14 be held and rotated to open it. The bird cannot reach into the cylindrical groove 13 with its own limbs, so the bird leg ring cannot be opened, ensuring that the bird leg ring is stably installed on the bird's foot.

[0028] The main body 11 of the bird leg ring has an arc-shaped groove 21 inside. The rotating ring 14 is set inside the arc-shaped groove 21. The inner arc surface of the fixed ring 15 is aligned with the bird's foot. Hold and twist the ring 14 so that it rotates and extends into the arc-shaped groove 21. The main body 11 of the bird leg ring, the rotating ring 14 and the fixed ring 15 form a bird leg ring to avoid binding the bird's foot.

[0029] A storage ring 22 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the bird leg ring body 11. When the bird leg ring body 11 is disassembled and idle, the storage ring 22 can be put into a cylindrical protruding storage rack or storage plate. The storage ring 22 can be placed on these protrusions for convenient, orderly and stable collection and storage.

[0030] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a bird leg ring that prevents birds from opening it. When it is necessary to remove the bird leg ring from the bird's foot, a needle-like tool is inserted into the cylindrical through groove 13. After the needle-like tool is inserted into the bird leg ring body 11 along the inner wall of the cylindrical through groove 13, the lower end surface of the buckle 12, which is inserted at the same horizontal line as the cylindrical through groove 13, is pushed by the needle-like tool to rotate and loosen the buckle on the rotating ring body 14. Only then can the rotating ring body 14 be grasped and rotated to open it. Without the specified needle-like tool, the bird cannot reach into the cylindrical through groove 13 with its own limbs, thus preventing the bird leg ring from being opened and ensuring that the bird leg ring is stably installed on the bird's foot.

[0031] Bird leg ring body 11: As the main structure of the entire bird leg ring, it provides the mounting base and space for other components;

[0032] Buckle 12: When the rotating ring 14 extends into the arc groove 21, the arc push block 18 presses the buckle 12 to rotate around the round rod 17, causing the spring 16 to contract. When the rotating ring 14 is in place, the buckle 12 is reset under the elastic force of the spring 16 and is locked in the slot 19 of the rotating ring 14, which securely connects the bird foot ring body 11, the rotating ring 14 and the fixed ring 15, preventing the bird foot ring from opening easily. When disassembling the bird foot ring, a needle-like tool is needed to push the buckle 12 to rotate and loosen the locking of the rotating ring 14 in order to open the bird foot ring.

[0033] Cylindrical through groove 13: A needle-like tool is inserted into the bird leg ring body 11 through the cylindrical through groove 13, reaching the same horizontal line as the lower end of the buckle 12, pushing the buckle 12 to rotate, thereby releasing the engagement of the rotating ring body 14; since the bird's own limbs cannot be inserted into the cylindrical through groove 13, it effectively prevents the bird from opening the bird leg ring on its own.

[0034] Rotating ring 14: It can be rotated by gripping and twisting to extend into the arc-shaped groove 21; the arc-shaped push block 18 on its outer surface squeezes the buckle 12 during rotation, causing it to rotate and compress the spring 16. After extending into the bird foot ring body 11, it forms a circular bird foot ring together with the bird foot ring body 11 and the fixed ring 15, and is fixed by the cooperation of the buckle 12 with the slot 19; when disassembling the bird foot ring, after the buckle 12 is released, the rotating ring 14 can be gripped and rotated to open it.

[0035] Fixed ring 15: Provides rotational support for rotating ring 14, and together with bird leg ring body 11 and rotating ring 14, forms a structure that surrounds the bird's foot, ensuring that the bird leg ring can be stably worn on the bird's foot; when installing the bird leg ring, its inner arc surface is aligned with the bird's foot, serving as the starting positioning component for installing the bird leg ring;

[0036] Spring 16: When the buckle 12 is squeezed and rotated by the arc-shaped push block 18, the spring 16 is compressed and stores elastic potential energy. When the arc-shaped push block 18 stops squeezing the buckle 12, the spring 16 releases elastic potential energy, causing the buckle 12 to rotate and reset, so that it is locked in the slot 19 of the rotating ring body 14, ensuring the fixed stability of the bird foot ring.

[0037] Round rod 17: provides an axis for the rotation of buckle 12, ensuring that buckle 12 can rotate stably around it when under force, so as to realize the engagement and disengagement action with rotating ring 14;

[0038] Arc-shaped push block 18: When the rotating ring body 14 rotates and extends into the arc-shaped groove 21, the arc surface of the arc-shaped push block 18 is in contact with the inclined surface of the right end of the buckle 12. By squeezing, the buckle 12 is pushed to rotate around the round rod 17, which changes the snapping state between the buckle 12 and the rotating ring body 14, and provides power transmission for the installation and fixing process of the bird foot ring.

[0039] Slot 19: When the buckle 12 rotates and resets under the action of the spring 16, the buckle 12 engages with the outer surface of the slot 19, firmly connecting the rotating ring 14 with the bird leg ring body 11, preventing the bird leg ring from accidentally opening during bird activity;

[0040] Arc-shaped groove 21: provides a track and space for the rotation of the rotating ring 14, so that the rotating ring 14 can rotate and extend into the bird foot ring body 11 along a predetermined path, and together with the bird foot ring body 11 and the fixed ring 15, form a complete bird foot ring structure that fits on the bird's foot.

[0041] Storage ring 22: When the bird leg ring is disassembled and not in use, it can be put into the cylindrical protrusions of the storage rack or the protrusions on the storage board, so as to facilitate the orderly and stable collection and storage of the bird leg ring, improve storage efficiency, and avoid the bird leg ring being lost or damaged due to random placement when not in use.

[0042] Working principle:

[0043] The first step is to align the inner arc surface of the fixed ring 15 with the bird's foot, hold and twist the ring 14 so that it rotates into the arc groove 21. The bird's foot ring body 11, the rotating ring 14 and the fixed ring 15 together form a bird's foot ring to prevent it from being tied to the bird's foot. The bird's foot ring can not only serve as a binding and restraining marker, but can also be used as a keychain, jewelry pendant, pet chain hook and other similar uses, making it convenient to hang other accessories, mobile phone chains, pet chains, etc., with more diverse functions.

[0044] In the second step, after the rotating ring 14 extends into the arc-shaped groove 21, the arc-shaped pusher 18 on its surface presses against the inclined surface of the right end of the buckle 12, causing it to rotate. When the buckle 12 rotates around the circular rod 17, it compresses the compression spring 16. After the rotating ring 14 extends into the bird foot ring body 11, the bird foot ring body 11, the rotating ring 14, and the fixed ring 15 form a circular bird foot ring. At this time, the buckle 12 loses its compressive force and rotates back to its original position under the elastic force of the spring 16. The buckle 12 is then engaged in the slot 19 opened in the rotating ring 14 for locking and fixing. When it is necessary to remove the bird foot ring from the bird's foot, a needle-like tool is inserted into the cylindrical through groove. Inside the cylindrical groove 13, after inserting a needle-like tool into the bird leg ring body 11 along the inner wall of the cylindrical groove 13, the lower end surface of the buckle 12, which is inserted at the same horizontal line as the cylindrical groove 13, is then pushed by the needle-like tool to rotate and loosen the buckle 12 from the rotating ring body 14. Only then can the rotating ring body 14 be held and rotated to open it. The bird cannot reach into the cylindrical groove 13 through its own limbs, thus preventing the bird leg ring from being opened, ensuring that the bird leg ring is stably installed on the bird's foot. The storage ring 22 installed at the lower end of the bird leg ring body 11 can be placed on a cylindrical protruding storage rack or storage plate when it is disassembled and idle. The storage ring 22 can be placed on these protrusions for convenient, orderly and stable collection and storage.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
