Resting platforms are provided within the passageways for the animals to rest temporarily. The device also includes a feeding passageway for visitors to observe, raise, and feed the animals, thereby increasing interactivity. This design solves the problem of limited space in traditional single-cell cages; it not only increases the explorable three-dimensional space, allowing squirrels / monkeys to run, chase, and climb, satisfying their naturally high activity levels, but also avoids the limitations and monotony of traditional cage-based activity spaces. Furthermore, it addresses the key shortcomings of traditional display methods in terms of interactivity.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of zoos and pet display facilities, specifically to a three-dimensional cage device for raising and displaying squirrels and monkeys. Background Technology

[0002] The design concept of traditional breeding cages is outdated. Essentially, they "lock up" squirrels / monkeys to meet their basic survival needs (eating, drinking, and sleeping), while completely ignoring their complex physiological, psychological, and behavioral needs as active arboreal animals.

[0003] It leads to physical decline, mental distress (stereotypical behavior), and frequent safety accidents in squirrels / monkeys.

[0004] Traditional cages, lacking continuous movement paths and controllable interaction designs, restrict animal activity and lead to stereotyped behaviors (such as repetitive pacing).

[0005] For public displays, visitors can only passively observe, with weak interactivity and educational value. It cannot provide engaging and educational dynamic displays, nor can it effectively promote positive interaction and emotional connection between visitors and animals. The displays are dull and unattractive, failing to meet the dual requirements of modern zoos or boutique pet shops for animal welfare and visitor experience. Utility Model Content

[0006] According to one aspect of this utility model, a three-dimensional cage device for raising and displaying squirrels and monkeys is provided, comprising:

[0007] The rearing cage is a fixed structure, and the rearing cage is equipped with a feeding platform, several heat boxes and several perches.

[0008] The first rest platform is fixedly suspended in the air.

[0009] The second rest platform is fixedly suspended in the air.

[0010] The first, second, and third passageways are connected. The first resting platform is connected to the rearing cage via the first passageway; one end of the first resting platform is connected to one end of the second resting platform via the second passageway, and the other end of the first resting platform is connected to the other end of the second resting platform via the third passageway.

[0011] It also includes a feeding channel. Both the first and second resting platforms are equipped with interactive windows. One end of the feeding channel is connected to the interactive window, and the other end of the feeding channel extends downwards. The end of the feeding channel away from the interactive window is equipped with a feeding port.

[0012] This invention provides a three-dimensional cage system for raising and displaying squirrels and monkeys, primarily for installation in parks and similar environments. The main enclosure serves as the animals' habitat, with three suspended passageways allowing animals to move freely and increasing interaction with visitors. Resting platforms are provided within the passageways for temporary animal rest. Furthermore, the system includes a feeding channel, allowing visitors to observe the feeding process through interactive windows, further enhancing interactivity. The three-dimensional running track design overcomes the spatial limitations of traditional cages, satisfying the animals' naturally high activity levels and significantly reducing stereotypical behaviors. Combined with the interactive feeding mechanism, it overcomes the limitations of traditional display systems, enhancing visitor participation and educational value.

[0013] In some embodiments, the first resting platform is provided with a first connection port, and a passageway is provided on one side of the feeding cage. The first connection port is connected to the passageway through the first passageway.

[0014] In some implementations, the first rest platform is provided with a second connection port and a third connection port, and the second rest platform is provided with a fourth connection port and a fifth connection port. The second connection port is connected to the fourth connection port through a second channel, and the third connection port is connected to the fifth connection port through a third channel.

[0015] In some embodiments, the first resting platform includes a support frame and a cage, with the cage suspended and fixed by the support frame, which is located on the lower end face of the cage.

[0016] In some implementations, the support frame is hollowed out in the middle, and the feeding channel is fixed in the hollowed-out position in the middle of the support frame.

[0017] In some embodiments, a door is provided on one side of the cage, and a perforated mesh panel is provided on the end face of the door. The first connection port, the second connection port, and the third connection port are provided on the other sides of the cage.

[0018] In some embodiments, the cage also includes a lighting lamp, and a baffle is provided on the upper end face of the cage. A solar panel is provided on the upper surface of the baffle, and the solar panel is electrically connected to the lighting lamp.

[0019] In some embodiments, the first channel, the second channel, the third channel, and the feeding channel are all openwork mesh cage channels, and several support rings are arrayed inside the mesh cage channels along the extension direction of the mesh cage channels.

[0020] This utility model has the characteristics of simple structure and convenient operation, and is suitable for widespread promotion and application.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this cage design are as follows: through an innovative "racetrack-like" three-dimensional space design, it precisely matches the high activity levels and exploratory drive of arboreal animals, providing a safe, rich, and customizable exercise environment and behavioral simulation to the maximum extent possible under captive conditions. This significantly improves the physical and mental health, animal welfare, and the convenience of captive management and ornamental value of arboreal animals. This addresses many shortcomings of traditional cage-keeping methods in terms of space, behavioral expression, safety, and enrichment effects. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Figure 1-2The diagram schematically illustrates a three-dimensional cage device for raising and displaying squirrels and monkeys according to one embodiment of the present invention, including a feeding cage 100, a first resting platform 200, a second resting platform 300, a first passage 400, a second passage 500, a third passage 600, and a feeding passage 700.

[0030] A fixed feeding cage 100 is provided, and inside the feeding cage 100 are a feeding platform 110, several insulated boxes 120, and several perches 130; a first resting platform 200 and a second resting platform 300 are fixedly suspended. The first resting platform 200 is connected to the feeding cage 100 through a first channel 400; one end of the first resting platform 200 is connected to one end of the second resting platform 300 through a second channel 500, and the other end of the first resting platform 200 is connected to the other end of the second resting platform 300 through a third channel 600; both the first resting platform 200 and the second resting platform 300 are provided with an interactive window 710, one end of a feeding channel 700 is connected to the interactive window 710, the other end of the feeding channel 700 extends downward, and the end of the feeding channel 700 away from the interactive window 710 is provided with a feeding opening.

[0031] The feeding cage 100 is the main habitat for the animals. The first passage 400, the second passage 500, and the third passage 600 are suspended in the air, allowing the animals to move freely among them and increasing interaction with visitors. Resting platforms are provided in the passages for the animals to rest temporarily. In addition, the device is also equipped with a feeding passage 700, allowing visitors to observe the feeding process through an interactive window 710, thereby increasing interactivity.

[0032] Furthermore, the first resting platform 200 is provided with a first connection port 201, and a passage 101 is provided on one side of the feeding cage 100. The first connection port 201 is connected to the passage 101 through the first passage 400.

[0033] Furthermore, an electric door is installed at the passageway 101, which is controlled by an electrical signal. The control door can disconnect the connection between the feeding cage 100 and the first passageway 400. In case of feeding, emergencies, or other emergencies, the animal can be recalled to the feeding cage 100 to prevent it from lingering outside the feeding cage 100.

[0034] Furthermore, the first resting platform 200 is provided with a second connection port 202 and a third connection port 203, and the second resting platform 300 is provided with a fourth connection port 301 and a fifth connection port 302. The second connection port 202 is connected to the fourth connection port 301 through a second channel 500, and the third connection port 203 is connected to the fifth connection port 302 through a third channel 600. The first channel 400, the second channel 500, the third channel 600, and the feeding channel 700 are all openwork wire mesh channels, and several support rings are arrayed along the extension direction of the wire mesh channel.

[0035] The three-dimensional walkway overcomes the problems of traditional cages, where visitors need to actively search for animals and their view is easily obstructed. The design of the runway structure itself naturally guides visitors' eyes along the runway track.

[0036] Moreover, this invention allows for the strategic placement of multiple interactive windows or barrier-free viewing areas at key nodes of the track, ensuring that visitors can clearly and stably observe the squirrel / monkey's jumping, climbing, running, and other actions and mimicry behaviors from the best angle, greatly improving the success rate of viewing and the comfort of the experience.

[0037] Furthermore, the first resting platform 200 includes a support frame 210 and a cage 220. The cage 220 is suspended and fixed by the support frame 210, which is located on the lower end face of the cage 220. The lower part of the cage 220 is roughly a cube structure, and the upper part of the cage 220 is a triangular prism structure.

[0038] Furthermore, the support frame 210 has a hollow center, and the feeding channel 700 is fixed in the hollow center of the support frame 210.

[0039] Furthermore, a door 230 is provided on one side of the cage 220, and a perforated mesh panel is provided on the end face of the door 230. The first connection port 201, the second connection port 202, and the third connection port 203 are provided on the other sides of the cage 220.

[0040] Furthermore, the cage 220 also includes a lighting lamp 240, and a baffle 250 is provided on the upper end face of the cage 220. A solar panel 260 is provided on the upper surface of the baffle 250, and the solar panel 260 is electrically connected to the lighting lamp 240.

[0041] In this embodiment, the second rest platform 300 has the same structure as the first rest platform 200, except that the second rest platform 300 has one less connection port.

[0042] The second rest platform 300 includes a support frame 210 and a cage 220. The cage 220 is suspended and fixed by the support frame 210, which is located on the lower end face of the cage 220.

[0043] The support frame 210 has a hollow center, and the feeding channel 700 is fixed to the hollow center of the support frame 210. One side of the cage 220 is provided with a door 230, and the end face of the door 230 is provided with a hollow mesh panel. The fourth connection port 301 and the fifth connection port 302 are provided on the other sides of the cage 220.

[0044] Control the animals and recall them to the inner room.

[0045] This invention solves the problem of limited space in traditional single-enclosure cages. Through clever design and connection of multiple circular, spiral, or multi-layered "racetrack" passages, it simulates the movement paths of squirrels / monkeys in their natural environment. This significantly increases the explorable three-dimensional space, allowing squirrels / monkeys to run, chase, and climb for longer periods and with greater freedom, satisfying their naturally high activity levels and avoiding the limitations and monotony of traditional cage-based activity spaces.

[0046] Moreover, it deeply integrates the display of natural animal behavior, safe and controllable interactive mechanisms, barrier-free viewing guidance, and environmental atmosphere design into a single structure. It not only meets the high activity and environmental enrichment needs of arboreal animals but also proactively creates high-quality viewing opportunities and interactive platforms. By guiding the eye, creating dynamic focal points, embedding safe interactive elements, fostering a story, and ensuring animal welfare, this design effectively enhances visitor participation, dwell time, and emotional connection, transforming traditional passive observation into a vivid, engaging, and educational interactive experience. This brings higher display, educational, and commercial value to operators, addressing the key shortcomings of traditional display methods in terms of interactivity and appeal.

[0047] The design of this cage enclosure is an innovative solution based on a deep understanding and precise addressing of the systemic defects inherent in traditional cages. Through a structured and secure "racetrack system," it fundamentally solves key issues related to space, behavior, safety, and interaction, achieving a dual improvement in animal welfare and public experience.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] This second embodiment is largely the same as the first embodiment, except for the specific number and arrangement of the second rest platform 300. In this second embodiment, there are two second rest platforms 300.

[0050] The first resting platform 200 is connected to the rearing cage 100 via a first channel 400; one end of the first resting platform 200 is connected to one end of one of the second resting platforms 300 via a second channel 500, and the other end of the first resting platform 200 is connected to the other end of one of the second resting platforms 300 via a third channel 600. The other second resting platform 300 is connected to the third channel 600.

[0051] This adds an extra resting platform, increasing the three-dimensionality of the passageway and expanding the living space for arboreal animals.

[0052] The above are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
