Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry equipment, and in particular to a multifunctional kit for handling venomous snakes. Background Technology

[0002] Venomous snakes are kept and exhibited in many zoos, but most of the individuals on display are wild animals. These snakes are not only constantly on the move to escape humans and seek hiding places, but they may also attack zookeepers if they get too close. To avoid attacks and control the animals during daily care, zoos typically use long-handled snake hooks or snake traps to first restrain the snakes, then place them in a cloth bag for further fixation, inspection, or transport. This method requires a high level of skill from the zookeepers, making it difficult for ordinary zookeepers to perform. Furthermore, the animals are difficult to control reliably in the bag, hindering further manipulation. The process of capturing and controlling the animals also puts significant stress on them, making it difficult for wild individuals to adapt to captive environments, resulting in low survival rates.

[0003] Especially for venomous snakes that come to zoos from the wild, many problems often arise during the process of adapting to the captive environment, such as incomplete molting, parasite outbreaks, or refusal to eat. If these problems are not detected and addressed in time, it is difficult to guarantee the survival of the animals.

[0004] Based on this, this application creates a new multifunctional kit for handling venomous snakes, enabling the capture of venomous snakes without contact with the animals, and also facilitating the restraint of venomous snakes without causing serious stress or disturbing the animals, thereby improving the survival rate of captive animals. This is a goal that the industry urgently needs to improve. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a multifunctional kit for handling venomous snakes, which enables the capture of venomous snakes without contact with the animals, and also makes it easy to restrain the venomous snakes without causing serious stress or disturbing the animals, thereby improving the survival rate of captive animals and overcoming the shortcomings of existing venomous snake capture and handling tools and methods.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a multifunctional kit for handling venomous snakes, including an opaque outer box and a hollow inner box that can be set inside the outer box. The outer box includes an outer box body with an open end face and an outer box cover that is movably fixed to the open end face. The center of the outer box cover is provided with a through hole for snakes to enter and exit, and the outer side of the outer box cover is also provided with a movable insert plate for sealing the through hole.

[0007] The inner box is surrounded by a mesh plate, and the outer end face of the inner box corresponding to the opening end face of the outer box body is provided with an opening. The opening corresponds to the through hole, and the opening is provided with a mesh baffle that can slide up and down. There is a gap between the opening end face of the outer box body and the outer box cover for the mesh baffle to slide up and down.

[0008] In a further improvement, when the mesh baffle is inserted into the opening of the inner box, its top end extends beyond the top of the outer box.

[0009] As a further improvement, the top grid plate of the inner box is configured as an openable structure.

[0010] In a further improvement, the top grid plate is connected in an openable manner by engaging with a horizontal slot at the upper opening of the inner box.

[0011] Further improvements include several restraint tubes, which are inserted into the mesh of the grid plate to restrain venomous snakes entering the inner box.

[0012] In a further improvement, the outer end face of the inner box is provided with two opposing first vertical slots, and the two sides of the mesh baffle can slide up and down by cooperating with the first vertical slots.

[0013] In a further improvement, the outer box body has two opposing second vertical slots on its open end face. The two sides of the outer box cover can slide up and down by cooperating with the second vertical slots.

[0014] In a further improvement, two opposing third vertical slots are provided on the outer side of the outer box cover. The two sides of the movable insert plate can slide up and down by cooperating with the third vertical slots.

[0015] As a further improvement, both the outer cover and the top of the movable insert plate are equipped with operating handles.

[0016] With this design, the present invention has at least the following advantages:

[0017] 1. This utility model's multifunctional enclosure utilizes animals' biological learning instincts—their constant search for hiding places—by designing inner and outer boxes. This allows animals to be kept in a safe, enclosed space without direct contact with venomous snakes, facilitating transport. The capture and transport processes minimize stress and disturbance to the animals, reducing stress responses. Furthermore, the perforated inner box structure allows keepers to closely observe various parts of the animal's body, effectively improving captive survival rates.

[0018] 2. Furthermore, the perforated inner box design allows for the use of a restraint tube inserted through the mesh holes to compress the venomous snake into a position close to the mesh, thus enabling restraint of the snake within the inner box. The opening and closing design of the top mesh plate facilitates treatment of the restrained snake, such as removing dead skin that has not shed around the eyes or clearing external parasites, identifying individuals through scale notches, and administering medications—all convenient, reliable, and safe.

[0019] 3. When treatment is not required, this multifunctional kit can be placed inside the animal's cage as a hiding place. Once treatment is needed, the kit can be safely removed from the cage by using a snake hook and snake catcher with mesh inserts and movable plates after the animal enters the kit. It has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and is safe and reliable. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The above is merely an overview of the technical solution of this utility model. In order to better understand the technical means of this utility model, the following describes this utility model in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] Figure 1 This is an exploded view of the structure of the multifunctional kit of this utility model.

[0022] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the multifunctional kit for capturing animals according to this utility model.

[0023] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the multifunctional kit for capturing and processing animals according to this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0024] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0025] See attached document Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of the multifunctional kit is used for capturing, restraining, and handling venomous snakes. Of course, it can also be used for other animal types that exhibit biological learning to prefer burrows and secluded locations.

[0026] This multifunctional kit includes an opaque outer box 2 and a perforated inner box 5 that can be installed inside the outer box 2. The outer box 2 is made of metal sheet and includes an outer box body 8 with an open end face and an outer box cover 10 that is movably fixed to the open end face. The outer box cover 10 has a through hole 11 in the center for snakes to enter and exit, and the outer side of the outer box cover 10 also has a movable insert 13 for sealing the through hole 11. That is, after the outer box cover 10 is connected to the outer box body 8, only the through hole 11 is left for snakes to enter and exit. Due to the opaque material of the outer box, it forms a sanctuary for animals that prefer burrows. When an animal enters through the through hole 11, the movable insert 13 can be connected to form a completely sealed outer box 2, which can then be used as a transport box to facilitate the transport of venomous snakes.

[0027] The inner box 5 is formed by a mesh plate, creating a hollow structure. An opening 7 is provided on the outer end face of the inner box 5, corresponding to the opening end face of the outer box body 8. The opening 7 corresponds to the through hole 11, and a mesh baffle 1 that can slide up and down is provided at the opening 7. That is, the mesh baffle 1 can close the inner box 5.

[0028] Preferably, a gap 14 is provided between the open end face of the outer box body 8 and the outer box cover 10 for the mesh baffle 1 to slide up and down. That is, after the inner box 5 is placed into the outer box 2 and the outer box cover 10 is closed, the mesh baffle 1 can be inserted into the opening 7 of the outer end face of the inner box 5 through the gap 14, forming a closure of the inner box 5. This structure also facilitates the safe removal of the closed inner box 5 from the outer box 2.

[0029] In this embodiment, when the mesh baffle 1 is inserted into the opening of the inner box 5, its top end extends beyond the top of the outer box 10, making it easy to insert and remove. It also facilitates the removal of the sealed inner box 5 from the outer box 2, making it easier to observe the venomous snake at close range.

[0030] A more preferred embodiment includes several restraining tubes in the multifunctional kit. These tubes are inserted through the mesh openings of the inner box 5 to restrain venomous snakes entering the inner box 5. The restraining tubes can be made of materials such as medical-grade rubber tubing. In other words, by inserting the restraining tubes through the mesh inside the box, the snake is gradually compressed to a position close to the mesh wall, thus restraining the snake within the inner box and providing a safety guarantee for subsequent complex handling of the snake.

[0031] Based on this, the top mesh plate 3 of the inner box 5 is designed with an openable structure. The top mesh plate 3 can be horizontally pulled out by engaging with the horizontal slot 4 at the upper opening of the inner box 5, achieving an openable and movable connection. That is, after restraining the venomous snake, the top mesh plate 3 can be opened to perform complex procedures on the restrained snake, such as removing dead skin that has not shed around the snake's eyes or removing external parasites, identifying individuals through scale notches, and administering medication. This is convenient, safe, and easy to operate.

[0032] More specifically, the outer end face of the inner box 5 is provided with two opposing first vertical slots 6, and the two sides of the mesh baffle 1 can slide up and down by cooperating with the first vertical slots 6.

[0033] The outer box body 8 has two opposing second vertical slots 9 on its open end face. The two sides of the outer box cover 10 can slide up and down by cooperating with the second vertical slots 9.

[0034] The outer cover 10 has two opposing third vertical slots 12 on its outer surface. The movable insert 13 can slide up and down by engaging with the third vertical slots 12 on both sides. In other words, this embodiment can achieve movable connection of various components through a simple slot design, which is flexible and easy to implement.

[0035] In this embodiment, operating handles can also be provided on the top of both the outer cover 10 and the movable insert plate 13 to facilitate the insertion and removal of the outer cover 10 and the movable insert plate 13.

[0036] This multifunctional kit, when not requiring treatment, can be placed inside the animal cage as a hiding place, i.e., an animal sanctuary, as shown in the attached document. Figure 2 As shown; once treatment is needed, the snare can be safely removed from the cage after the animal enters it by using a snake hook and snake catcher with mesh insert 1 and movable insert 13, facilitating subsequent treatment. (See attached image.) Figure 3 As shown.

[0037] This utility model's multifunctional enclosure utilizes the biological instinct of venomous snakes to constantly seek hiding places. With inner and outer boxes, it allows the snake to be contained in a safe, enclosed space without direct contact. The capture process does not cause severe stress or disturbance to the animal, greatly facilitating the capture and transport of venomous snakes. The enclosure's design facilitates the removal of the inner box, and its perforated structure allows keepers to closely observe various parts of the animal's body. The combination of a restraint tube and a mesh plate facilitates the restraint of the venomous snake. Furthermore, the opening and closing design of the top mesh plate allows for convenient treatment of the restrained snake. The overall structure is simple, easy to operate, safe, and reliable, effectively improving the survival rate of captive-bred animals.

[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes or alterations made by those skilled in the art using the above-disclosed technical content shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
