[0002] Zoo forests are artificially designated animal and plant protection areas. They not only serve to maintain ecological biodiversity but also have certain tourism value. Based on existing experience, well-managed zoo forests can often bring considerable benefits. In the management and operation of zoo forests, the dietary management of animals is an extremely important part and also the main task of relevant practitioners.
[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent with application number 202121683065.2, which discloses a portable feeding device based on a zoo forest. The device is equipped with multi-functional wheels at the bottom, making it easy to move within the garden. It has high feeding efficiency, reduces the labor intensity of workers, and thus reduces operating costs.
[0004] In the process of feeding animals, most existing feeding boxes are open-style. After the food inside is eaten, some small animals, such as birds and rodents, may crawl inside the feeding box as a shelter and defecate. This not only makes the inside of the feeding box difficult to clean, but also easily leads to larger animals preying on the smaller animals that enter the feeding box. Therefore, this application specifically proposes a portable feeding device based on zoo forests, aiming to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a portable feeding device based on a zoo forest, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a portable feeding device based on a zoo forest, comprising a feeding box, a box cover detachably connected to the top of the feeding box, several bottom wheels installed on the bottom surface of the feeding box, a feeding opening at the lower end of the surface of the feeding box, an installation rail fixedly connected to the lower end of the interior, a food compartment installed on the surface of the installation rail, and a baffle movably connected to the surface of the food compartment.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a door panel is fixedly connected to the middle position of the outer surface of the baffle, which maximizes the control capability of the overall device and ensures the practicality of the overall device.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the feeding opening is rectangular in shape, and the shape and size of the door panel are consistent with the shape and size of the feeding opening, which effectively enhances the stability of each component and strengthens the support of the overall device.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the lower end of the food compartment is fixedly connected to a bottom plate, and the bottom plate is composed of several rectangular iron plates connected together. Each iron plate is fixedly connected to a combination page, which better protects the use of the overall device from being affected and enhances the practicality of operating the overall device.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the upper surface of the food compartment is provided with a groove, and a slide rail is slidably connected inside the groove, which better enhances the balance of the overall device and effectively enhances the flexibility of the overall device.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a base is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the substrate, and a traction cable is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the base, which further enhances the operability of the overall device and ensures its firmness and stability during use.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the top end of the traction cable is fixedly connected to the middle position of the slide rail surface, and the traction cable is a non-elastic steel wire rope lock, which maximizes the operator's control over the overall device, improves the user experience of the overall device, and reduces the operator's difficulty in operation.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] This portable feeding device, based in a zoo, consists of a feeding box, wheels, a food compartment, a sliding rail, a baffle, and a door. When food is placed in the feeding box, it falls into the food compartment. The pressure of the food on the bottom of the food compartment pulls the traction cable, which in turn causes the sliding rail to shift within the chute. This shift in the sliding rail then causes the baffle to flip, controlling the opening and closing of the door below the feeding box. This design utilizes wheels to enhance the portability of the feeding box, making it easy for staff to carry. It also improves upon existing feeding boxes that remain open after the food is consumed, reducing the possibility of small creatures entering the feeding box and enhancing the protection of the inside of the feeding box.

[0022] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a portable feeding device based on a zoo forest, including a feeding box 1. The top of the feeding box 1 is detachably connected to a box cover 2. Several bottom wheels 3 are installed on the bottom surface of the feeding box 1. A feeding opening 4 is opened at the lower end of the surface of the feeding box 1. An installation rail 6 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the interior of the feeding box 1. A food compartment 5 is installed on the surface of the installation rail 6. A baffle 7 is movably connected to the surface of the food compartment 5.
[0023] Furthermore, a door panel 8 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the outer surface of the baffle 7, which can effectively ensure the stability of the center of gravity of the entire device and meet the requirements of long-term use of the device.
[0024] Furthermore, the feeding port 4 is rectangular in shape, and the shape and size of the door panel 8 match the shape and size of the feeding port 4, which more effectively enhances the matching and coordination of various components during operation of the overall device and effectively reduces the probability of various unexpected situations that may occur during use.
[0025] Furthermore, a base plate 9 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the food compartment 5, and the base plate 9 is composed of several rectangular iron plates connected together. A combination page 14 is fixedly connected between each iron plate. By matching the various components of the overall device during use, the coordination of the overall device is enhanced.
[0026] Furthermore, a groove 10 is provided on the upper surface of the food compartment 5, and a slide rail 11 is slidably connected inside the groove 10, which greatly enhances the fit of the overall device during use and avoids the situation of asymmetrical component matching during use.
[0027] Furthermore, a base 13 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the film 9, and a traction cable 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the base 13. Together, they support the overall device according to the existing structure, enhance the coordination performance of the overall device during use, and improve the durability of the overall device during use.
[0028] Furthermore, the top of the traction cable 12 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the surface of the slide rail 11, and the traction cable 12 is an inelastic steel wire rope lock. With the enhanced flexible control capability of the overall device, the probability of the overall device malfunctioning during use is reduced.
[0029] The usage method of this embodiment is as follows: When using it, please refer to... Figure 1-4 The keeper opens the lid 2 and puts food into the feeding box 1. After the food falls into the feeding box 1, it falls vertically into the food compartment 5 located below the feeding box 1. The weight of the food presses down on the bottom plate 9. Multiple bottom plates 9 are assembled together and installed at the bottom of the food compartment 5 using hinges 14. The end of the traction cable 12 is fixed by the base 13, and the top of the traction cable 12 is connected to the surface of the slide rail 11. When the food falls into the food compartment 5, its weight presses down on the bottom plate 9. The traction cable 12 drives the slide rail 11 to rotate inside the slide groove 10. The rotation of the slide rail 11 causes the baffle 7 to flip, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the door panel 8 at the feeding opening 4 at the lower end of the surface of the feeding box 1. This allows the animal to stick its head in to eat. After eating, since there is no weight of food pressing down, when the animal's head leaves the feeding opening 4, the door panel 8 closes again at the feeding opening 4 due to the reset action, preventing small animals from crawling into the feeding box 1.
