Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet breeding technology, and in particular to a turtle basking platform. Background Technology

[0002] A turtle basking platform is a specialized platform in aquariums for turtles to rest out of the water, bask, and regulate their body temperature. It typically consists of a waterproof platform, a ramp structure, and a securing device. Currently, most products on the market suffer from significant compatibility issues. Either they use fixed-size hooks that are difficult to fit tank walls of varying widths, or they rely on simple suction cups that are prone to detaching due to water pressure changes. Furthermore, one-piece basking platforms cannot be adjusted to different tank widths, while modular designs often have a loose structure. These compatibility defects severely impact usability and limit the product's versatility. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a turtle basking platform that can be adapted to fish tanks of different widths, thereby improving flexibility and versatility.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a turtle basking platform, comprising:

[0005] Base plate;

[0006] Two side plates are disposed opposite each other on the two sides of the bottom plate, and together with the bottom plate, form two inlets and outlets;

[0007] Two ramps are provided at the edges of the inlet and outlet and are inclined downwards.

[0008] Two extension structures are movably connected to the outside of the connection between the base plate and the side plate. The extension structures are bent to form a limiting part, which is used to limit and fix them with the edge of the external aquarium. Adjusting the position of the extension structures can change the distance between the limiting parts of the two extension structures.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the extension structure includes a limiting plate, the edge of which is bent to form the limiting portion; an adjustment groove is provided on the surface of the limiting plate, and a positioning hole is provided on the bottom plate corresponding to the adjustment groove, with a bolt connecting the positioning hole and the adjustment groove.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the extension structure includes a fixed rod and two movable rods, the edges of which are bent to form the limiting portion; the fixed rod is connected to the lower surface of the base plate, and both ends are hollow to form adjustment cavities, the movable rods are inserted into the adjustment cavities and are movable.

[0011] In one possible implementation, a cover net is connected to the top of the two side plates.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the surface of the ramp is provided with a plurality of auxiliary ridges protruding in parallel.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the base plate has extensions at both ends of the side plate, and the surface of the extensions has insertion grooves into which protective plates are inserted.

[0014] This utility model's technical solution adopts an adjustable extension structure to freely adapt to fish tanks of different sizes. Combined with an anti-slip climbing board and a detachable protective board, it achieves escape prevention and safe climbing. The top cover net prevents overturning, and the bottom plate extension and side plate form a stable frame.

[0023] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 2 This utility model proposes a turtle basking platform, including a base plate 1, two side plates 2, two ramp plates 3, and two extension structures. The side plates 2 are arranged opposite each other on the two sides of the base plate 1 and form two inlets and outlets with the base plate 1. The ramp plates 3 are arranged on the edges of the inlets and outlets and are inclined downwards. The extension structures are movably connected to the outside of the connection between the base plate 1 and the side plates 2. The extension structures are bent to form limiting parts 4, which are used to limit and fix with the edge of the external fish tank. Adjusting the position of the extension structures can change the distance between the limiting parts 4 of the two extension structures.

[0026] Understandably, the base plate 1 is the basic platform of the basking platform, where turtles can lie down to sunbathe or rest; the two side plates 2 are two plates that stand vertically on the two sides of the base plate 1, forming an open space together with the base plate 1, with the two ends forming entrances and exits; the two climbing plates 3 are inclined plates located at the edges of the entrances and exits, making it convenient for turtles to climb from the water onto the basking platform, and the downward sloping design fits the crawling habits of turtles.

[0027] The two extension structures are adjustable components movably connected to the outside of the connection between the base plate 1 and the side plate 2. Their edges are bent to form limiting parts 4, such as hooks or slots, used to hold the aquarium edge and secure the basking platform. Users can adjust the position of the extension structures to change the distance between the two limiting parts 4 to accommodate aquariums of different widths. By sliding the extension structures, users can adjust the distance of the limiting parts 4 according to the dimensions of the aquarium edge, ensuring the basking platform is stably mounted on the aquarium.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, the extension structure includes a limiting plate 51, the edge of which is bent to form a limiting part 4; an adjustment groove 52 is provided on the surface of the limiting plate 51, and a positioning hole 53 is provided on the bottom plate 1 corresponding to the adjustment groove 52, and a bolt is connected between the positioning hole 53 and the adjustment groove 52.

[0029] Understandably, the main body of the limiting plate 51 is a flat plate, which is movably connected to the outside of the base plate 1 and the side plate 2; the limiting part 4 is formed by bending the edge of the limiting plate 51 to form a right-angle folded edge structure, which is used to hold the edge of the fish tank; the adjusting groove 52 is an elongated slot hole opened on the limiting plate 51, which allows the bolt to slide in the groove, thereby adjusting the position of the limiting plate 51; the positioning hole 53 is a corresponding fixing hole on the base plate 1, which is aligned with the adjusting groove 52 and then fastened with bolts.

[0030] When the bolts are loosened, the limiting plate 51 can move laterally along the adjusting groove 52, thereby changing the distance between the two limiting parts 4 to adapt to the width of the aquarium. When the aquarium glass is wider, the limiting plate 51 is pulled outward to increase the distance between the limiting parts 4; conversely, it is pushed inward. After adjustment, the bolts are tightened to fix the limiting plate 51 to the base plate 1, ensuring the stability of the basking platform.

[0031] Reference Figures 3 to 4 In another embodiment of the present invention, the extension structure includes a fixed rod 61 and two movable rods 62. The edges of the movable rods 62 are bent to form a limiting part 4. The fixed rod 61 is connected to the lower surface of the base plate 1, and the two ends are hollow to form an adjustment cavity. The movable rods 62 are inserted into the adjustment cavity and can move.

[0032] Understandably, in this embodiment, the fixed distance between the basking platform and the fish tank is adjusted by a telescopic movable rod 62. The fixed rod 61 is fixed to the lower surface of the base plate 1, and both ends are hollow adjustment cavities. The interior can be designed with slide rails or guide grooves for inserting the movable rod 62. The movable rod 62 is inserted into the adjustment cavity of the fixed rod 61 and can move laterally. Its edge is bent to form a limiting part 4, which directly locks the edge of the fish tank.

[0033] The movable rod 62 can be freely pulled in and out of the adjustment cavity to change the distance between the two limiting parts 4, adapting to fish tanks of different sizes. The position of the adjustment cavity and the movable rod 62 can be maintained by an interference fit such as a rubber pad or a damping structure.

[0034] Reference Figures 3 to 4 In one embodiment of this utility model, a cover net 7 is connected to the top of the two side plates 2.

[0035] Understandably, the cover net 7 can be directly fixed to the top of the side panels 2 using clips, hooks, or screws. It can be designed to be openable and closable for easy feeding or cleaning. The function of the cover net 7 is to prevent turtles from escaping. Some turtles, such as red-eared sliders and Chinese pond turtles, are adept climbers, and the cover net 7 can prevent them from climbing over the side panels 2 and escaping the aquarium. It also blocks external disturbances, preventing other pets such as cats, dogs, or children from accidentally touching the turtles on the basking platform. The mesh size of the cover net 7 must be smaller than the width of the turtle's head to prevent it from getting stuck or squeezing out.

[0036] Reference Figures 3 to 4 In one embodiment of this utility model, the surface of the ramp plate 3 is provided with a plurality of auxiliary ridges 31 protruding in parallel.

[0037] Understandably, the shape of the auxiliary edge 31 can be a triangular edge suitable for climbing, a trapezoidal edge for better wear resistance, or a rounded edge to reduce the risk of scratches, depending on the user's needs. It is arranged in parallel on the surface of the ramp board 3, and can be integrally formed with the ramp board 3 or attached separately as an anti-slip strip.

[0038] The ridged protrusions increase the roughness of the surface of the climbing board 3, preventing turtles, especially juvenile turtles or aquatic turtles, from slipping and falling due to their webbed feet; the parallel ridges form a stepped path, guiding the turtles to move in a fixed direction and avoiding deviation; the grooves between the ridges can quickly drain water, reduce water accumulation, and prevent the basking platform from being damp for a long time and growing algae.

[0039] Reference Figure 5 In another embodiment of the present invention, the base plate 1 has extensions 11 at both ends of the side plate 2, and the surface of the extensions 11 is provided with insertion grooves 12, and protective plates 13 are inserted into the insertion grooves 12.

[0040] Understandably, the extension 11 is the portion of the base plate 1 that extends outward from both ends of the side plate 2, and the insertion groove 12 is a recess formed on the surface of the extension 11 for fixing the protective plate 13. The protective plate 13 is installed vertically and directly inserted into the insertion groove 12, where the two are snapped together and fixed, or it can be fixed by holes or screws. The protective plate 13 prevents turtles from climbing out of the aquarium from the sides of the basking platform, especially turtle species with strong climbing abilities; and the protective plate 13 is removable, making it convenient to clean or adjust the layout of the basking platform. In addition, in this example, four reinforcing posts are provided on the edges of the side plates, making the entire basking platform frame more robust, stable, and durable.

[0041] This utility model's technical solution adopts an adjustable extension structure to freely adapt to fish tanks of different sizes. Combined with an anti-slip climbing board 3 and a detachable protective board 13, it achieves escape prevention and safe climbing. The top cover net 7 prevents overturning. The extension part 11 of the bottom plate 1 and the side plate 2 form a stable frame. The overall design takes into account strong adaptability, anti-slip safety, and convenient cleaning, and can meet the needs of all scenarios from narrow tanks to wide tanks and from juvenile turtles to adult turtles.
