Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waterbird weighing technology, and in particular to a weighing device for shorebirds. Background Technology

[0002] Shore-plovers are protected animals in my country, and keeping them as pets without the consent of the forestry department is prohibited. Currently, no organizations or individuals in China are conducting rewilding training programs for shore-plovers. The Yancheng Wetland Rare Birds Nature Reserve, as a professional unit, is conducting its first field rescue operation for shore-plovers. However, its understanding of the physiology of these birds is completely lacking, and there is no literature on their growth and physiological indicators, either domestically or internationally. To compile relevant growth and physiological indicators for shore-plovers, the reserve needs a weighing instrument that is suitable for their body size and allows for accurate weight measurement. Existing weighing equipment is not portable enough, causing birds to bump into each other during weighing, posing safety hazards, and lacks anti-collision design. Furthermore, after weighing one bird, the cover needs to be replaced before weighing the next to reduce odor interference; this replacement is cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, reducing weighing efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new weighing device for shorebirds to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0020] 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. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0021] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 4 A weighing device for shorebirds includes: a weighing sensor 1, which serves as the data core and supporting foundation of the entire device. A display screen 2 is specially installed on its front side to intuitively present the weighing data for easy reading by the operator. A pressure plate 3 is precisely installed on the top of the weighing sensor 1, which can sensitively capture pressure changes and provide an initial signal for weighing. A bearing block 4 is symmetrically and firmly fixedly connected to the top of the pressure plate 3. The bearing block 4 serves as the bearing and connecting component of the U-shaped tube 8, and its top is symmetrically provided with insertion holes 5 to provide a docking structure for the installation of the U-shaped tube 8.

[0023] The U-shaped tube 8, as a key component for accommodating shorebirds, is placed at the top of the insertion hole 5. Its bottom end is symmetrically and firmly connected to two insertion rods 6. The insertion rods 6 are adapted to the insertion hole 5 to achieve the initial connection between the U-shaped tube 8 and the support block 4. The two insertion rods 6 have a locking groove 7 on their adjacent sides for cooperation with subsequent assembly components to ensure the stability of the U-shaped tube 8 after installation.

[0024] A partition 9 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner wall of the U-shaped tube 8. The partition 9 divides the interior of the U-shaped tube 8 into relatively independent spaces, which can be used flexibly according to needs, such as separating waterbirds in different states to reduce mutual interference. The inner walls on the left and right sides of the U-shaped tube 8 are hinged with hatches 10, which can be opened and closed easily to put in and take out waterbirds. The hinge structure makes the opening and closing operation smooth and stable. The exterior of the U-shaped tube 8 has multiple through holes 11, which can effectively ensure air circulation inside the tube, create an oxygen-rich environment for waterbirds, and avoid stress response caused by lack of oxygen. The inner wall of the U-shaped tube 8 is fixedly connected with multiple non-woven fabric mats 12. The non-woven fabric mats 12 are soft and conform to the waterbird's habitat, which can reduce the discomfort of waterbirds. The bottom of the inner walls on both sides of the U-shaped tube 8 are slidably connected with hay trays 13. The hay trays 13 are used to put hay and other mats to simulate the natural habitat of waterbirds. The internal mats can also be easily replaced by sliding.

[0025] For the installation and positioning of the hay tray 13, it is equipped with positioning components on both sides. The positioning components include sliding strips 14. The adjacent side of the two sliding strips 14 is fixedly connected to the two sides of the hay tray 13, providing a connection structure for the sliding of the hay tray 13. The bottom of the inner wall of the U-shaped tube 8 is symmetrically provided with sliding grooves 15. The outer side of the sliding strip 14 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 15. This sliding cooperation method allows the hay tray 13 to be pulled out smoothly and steadily in the U-shaped tube 8, which is convenient for replacing the internal padding material, while ensuring that the hay tray 13 will not move arbitrarily during use.

[0026] An assembly component is installed inside the bearing block 4 to securely connect the U-shaped tube 8. The assembly component includes two sliding rods 16. The exterior of each pair of sliding rods 16 is slidably connected to the inner walls of both sides of the bearing block 4. The sliding rods 16 can slide flexibly within the bearing block 4 to accommodate the engagement requirements of the insertion rod 6. An arc-shaped block 17 is fixedly connected to the adjacent side of each of the two sliding rods 16. The arc-shaped block 17 is used to cooperate with the stop rod 21 to adjust the position of the sliding rod 16. A limiting plate 18 is fixedly connected to the exterior of the sliding rod 16. The limiting plate 18 provides support for the sliding rod. The sliding stroke of the sliding rod 16 is limited, while providing a fulcrum for the spring 19. A spring 19 is sleeved on the outside of the sliding rod 16. One end of the spring 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the receiving chamber 20, and the other end is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting plate 18. The spring 19 utilizes its own elasticity to provide a reset force for the sliding rod 16, ensuring the engagement and disengagement functions of the assembly components. Receiving chambers 20 are provided on both sides of the bearing block 4 at the positions of the sliding rod 16. The receiving chambers 20 house the sliding rod 16 and the limiting plate 18. 8 and spring 19 provide installation and movement space. The inner wall of the receiving chamber 20 is slidably connected to the outside of the limiting plate 18, ensuring that the limiting plate 18 and sliding rod 16 can slide stably. The ends of the two sliding rods 16 away from the arc-shaped block 17 are engaged with the inner wall of the engaging groove 7. Through this engaging structure, the insertion rod 6 of the U-shaped tube 8 is firmly fixed to the bearing block 4, ensuring the stability of the U-shaped tube 8 after installation. The inner walls of the two bearing blocks 4 on opposite sides are threaded with stop rods 21. The stop rods 21 can enter the bearing block 4 through the threaded structure. The two stop levers 21 are fixedly connected to a rotating disc 22 on their far sides. The rotating disc 22 allows the operator to rotate the stop levers 21 and adjust their position. The two arc-shaped blocks 17 are in close contact with the outside of the stop levers 21 on their near sides. Specifically, the stop levers 21 abut against the near sides of the two arc-shaped blocks 17. The side of the stop levers 21 away from the rotating disc 22 is arc-shaped. The arc design allows the stop levers 21 to squeeze the arc-shaped blocks 17 more smoothly when rotating and advancing, thereby pushing the sliding rod 16 to slide and complete the engagement or disengagement action.

[0027] The working principle of the weighing device for shorebirds provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0028] First, place the weighing sensor 1 stably to ensure it is in normal working condition. Align the U-shaped tube 8 with the insertion rod 6 at the bottom of the support block 4 and insert the insertion rod 6 into the insertion hole 5. Using the assembly components, the sliding rod 16 slides on the inner wall of the support block 4, and the arc block 17 moves accordingly. The spring 19 cooperates with the limiting plate 18 in the receiving chamber 20 to make the end of the sliding rod 16 engage with the locking groove 7 of the insertion rod 6, thus completing the assembly of the U-shaped tube 8 and the weighing sensor 1. At the same time, the hay tray 13 can be installed on the bottom of the inner wall of the U-shaped tube 8 by sliding the sliding strip 14 in the sliding groove 15 as needed. Place an appropriate amount of hay or other bedding material suitable for the habitat of plovers and sandpipers into the hay tray 13. Alternatively, non-woven fabric bedding material 12 can be used to create a suitable environment.

[0029] Open the hinged hatches 10 on both sides of the U-shaped tube 8, gently place the plovers and sandpipers to be weighed into the U-shaped tube 8, and close the hatches 10. Inside the U-shaped tube 8, the waterbirds can obtain a relatively comfortable and stable environment with the help of the non-woven fabric bedding material 12 and the bedding material on the hay tray 13, reducing stress response. The multiple through holes 11 on the outside of the U-shaped tube 8 can ensure air circulation inside the tube, preventing the waterbirds from suffering adverse conditions due to lack of oxygen, etc.

[0030] When a plovers or sandpipers stand inside a U-shaped tube 8, their weight is transmitted to a pressure plate 3 through the U-shaped tube 8. The pressure plate 3 then transmits the pressure signal to a weighing sensor 1. After processing the signal, the weighing sensor 1 displays the weight of the plovers on a display screen 2. During this process, a partition 9 can divide the space inside the U-shaped tube 8 to a certain extent. If plovers are placed in the spaces on both sides of the U-shaped tube 8 at the same time, mutual interference can be reduced to a certain extent. However, in actual applications, the partition function should be used reasonably according to the condition of the plovers.

[0031] After weighing, open the hatch 10 to remove the weighed waterbird. If it is necessary to replace the inner padding material of the U-shaped tube 8 to reduce odor interference, the stop bar 21 can be rotated by turning the disc 22. The stop bar 21 will no longer be pressed against the arc block 17. Under the action of the spring 19, the sliding rod 16 will slide and its end will separate from the locking groove 7, so the U-shaped tube 8 can be removed from the support block 4. After cleaning the U-shaped tube 8 and replacing the inner non-woven fabric padding material 12 or the padding material in the hay tray 13, the U-shaped tube 8 can be reassembled onto the support block 4 in the same way as in step 1, and the weighing process of the next waterbird can be carried out. If it is not necessary to replace the entire U-shaped tube 8, the hay tray 13 can also be removed separately for cleaning and replacement. The sliding strip 14 can slide in the sliding groove 15 to achieve quick disassembly and assembly, so as to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of subsequent weighing and reduce the interference of factors such as odor between waterbirds.

[0032] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
