Detailed Implementation

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 1-5, a bite-proof and traceability headgear for turtles includes:

[0032] The head cover 100 is adapted to the shape of the turtle's head. The head cover 100 is made of plastic material that is harmless to turtles, such as food-grade PP or PE, to avoid affecting the turtle's lifespan. Its surface is also provided with anti-slip textures to make it easy to install the head cover on the turtle's head.

[0033] The tightening strap 200 is located on one side of the head cover shell 100. The tightness of the tightening strap 200 can be precisely controlled by adjusting the length of the strap body 201 passing through the locking component 400, which can both restrict the position of the turtle's head and ensure its normal breathing.

[0034] The traceability label 300 is located on the edge of the headgear shell 100. The surface of the traceability label 300 is equipped with a traceability QR code. Inside the traceability label 300 is a chip for recording and providing traceability information of the turtle. The QR code supports mobile scanning and query. This technology enables the gradual establishment of a tracking system from source to table. The chip adopts the globally leading C899 chip and RFID IoT anti-counterfeiting technology. The software and hardware are encrypted so that each item has a unique chip and code, which can identify multiple turtles at once, improving identification efficiency.

[0035] The locking component 400 is mounted on the tightening strap 200 and is used to tighten the headgear housing 100 in conjunction with the tightening strap 200. The locking component 400 includes a locking block 401 and a latch 402 disposed inside the locking block 401, allowing the user to adjust the tightness as needed. The inner side of the locking block 401 is provided with a buckle hole 403 for the tightening strap 200 to pass through. A spring or elastic sheet can be added to the inner side of the locking block 401 as needed. The other end of the above components is connected to the latch 402 to ensure that the latch 402 always presses the tightening strap 200. The tightening strap 200 is located on the side of the latch 402 away from the inner wall of the buckle hole 403. The side of the latch 402 near the tightening strap 200 is provided with a number of ratchet teeth 404. The cross-sections of the ratchet teeth 404 and the latch teeth are all set as right angles to facilitate engagement and prevent reverse sliding.

[0036] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the headgear housing 100 includes a housing 101, which is designed with a conical structure. This allows the space for the turtle's mouth to move gradually as the spherical bite 202 and the turtle's mouth move toward the connector 102, thus restricting its position and preventing the turtle from injuring people. One end of the housing 101 is fixedly provided with a connector 102, which has a through hole 103 inside, allowing the belt 201 to pass smoothly through the through hole 103. The locking component 400 is located on the side of the connector 102 away from the housing 101, facilitating tightening operations in conjunction with the belt 201.

[0037] As shown in Figures 1-3, the tightening strap 200 includes a strap body 201. One end of the strap body 201 extends through the through hole 103 into the housing 101 and is fixedly connected to the spherical bite 202. An attraction substance, such as fishy gel or turtle feed extract, is applied or sprayed onto the surface of the spherical bite 202 to attract the turtle to actively extend its head into the head cover, simplifying the installation process. The outer diameter of the spherical bite 202 is larger than the inner diameter of the through hole 103, which serves as a limit to prevent the strap body 201 from completely detaching. The upper surface of the strap body 201 is evenly provided with several first locking teeth 203 that are adapted to the locking tongue 402. The other end of the strap body 201 is provided with a traction part 204 for guiding the tightening strap 200 through the through hole 103 and the buckle hole 403, making it easy for the user to hold.

[0038] As shown in Figure 1, the traceability sign 300 is positioned between the locking block 401 and the connector 102 to restrict the position of the traceability sign 300 and facilitate users in performing traceability operations.

[0039] In use, the outer diameter of the spherical bite 202 in the tightening strap 200 is larger than the inner diameter of the through hole 103. One end of the strap body 201 passes through the through hole 103 and the traceability tag 300 and then contacts the locking component 400, thereby forming a limit. When the tightening strap 200 is pulled by the traction part 204, the strap body 201 drives the spherical bite 202 to move towards the through hole 103. With the help of the conical shell 101, the inner diameter of the shell 101 gradually decreases, thereby restricting the opening and closing of the turtle's mouth. The ratchet 404 of the locking component 400 engages with the first locking tooth 203 of the strap body 201, thereby fixing the position of the tightening strap 200 and restricting the forward extension and biting action of the turtle's head.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that, as shown in Figures 6-8, the headgear shell 100 further includes a hinged upper shell 104 and a lower shell 105, allowing the upper shell 104 and lower shell 105 to open and close in one direction. Hinges or similar components can be used. The upper shell 104 and lower shell 105 can be made of transparent material for easy observation of the turtle. The upper shell 104 and lower shell 105 together form a cavity for holding the turtle's head. A first half-hole is formed at the bottom of one side of the upper shell 104, and a second half-hole is formed at the top of one side of the lower shell 105. The first and second half-holes together form... The neck fixing part 106, which connects to the receiving chamber, has a smooth arc-shaped inner wall to avoid friction damage to the turtle's neck. The top of the upper shell 104 has an opening 107 for placing tempting food to attract the turtle to actively extend its head into the head cover, simplifying the installation process. The upper shell 104 is symmetrically provided with snap fasteners 108, and the lower shell 105 is symmetrically provided with snap fasteners 109 that engage with the snap fasteners 108, facilitating quick closure of the upper shell 104 and the lower shell 105, simplifying the installation process, and ensuring the stability of the receiving chamber.

[0042] As shown in Figures 6 and 8, the locking block 401 is fixedly installed on one side of the lower shell 105 to facilitate the normal use of the cable tie 205.

[0043] As shown in Figures 6-8, the tightening strap 200 also includes a cable tie 205. The tightness of the tightening strap 200 can be precisely controlled by adjusting the length of the strap body 201 passing through the locking component 400. This can restrict the position of the turtle's head and neck while ensuring its normal breathing. The cable tie 205 works with the second locking teeth 206 to fix the neck and prevent the headgear from falling off. One end of the cable tie 205 is fixedly set on the upper surface of the locking block 401, and the other end of the cable tie 205 passes through the buckle hole 403 after wrapping around the neck fixing point 106. The upper surface of the cable tie 205 is evenly provided with several second locking teeth 206 that are adapted to the locking tongue 402. A flexible silicone layer is added to the inside of the cable tie 205 to avoid neck friction and improve stability, preventing the cable tie 205 from loosening due to the turtle's neck movement.

[0044] Example 3

[0045] As shown in Figure 6, the traceability sign 300 is installed on one side of the upper shell 104. The installation effect can be achieved through detachable parts such as screws and pins, which has good applicability.

[0046] In use, first install the upper shell 104 and the lower shell 105 so that the buckle 108 and the buckle 109 are engaged. Then, wrap the cable tie 205 around the neck fixing point 106 and pass it through the buckle hole 403. Next, place the lure substance inside the receiving chamber. When the turtle's head enters the receiving chamber, pull the cable tie 205 away from the locking block 401. Then, the second locking tooth 206 engages with the ratchet tooth 404 to lock the turtle, restricting the range of motion of the turtle's neck and keeping the turtle's head inside the receiving chamber, thus preventing the turtle from biting or injuring people.

[0047] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
