Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of observation frame technology, and in particular to a foldable bird habitat observation frame. Background Technology

[0002] As a vital component of ecosystems, the study of birds' habitat habits, behavioral patterns, and living environments is crucial for ecological balance monitoring, biodiversity conservation, and early warning of environmental changes. With increasing awareness of ecological protection and growing research needs, long-term, precise observation of bird habitats has become a research hotspot. During habitat observation, observation racks are used. By mounting various bird observation instruments on these racks, such as infrared thermal imagers, satellite positioning systems, high-definition cameras, recording equipment, and environmental monitoring instruments, a variety of data can be collected. This helps researchers understand detailed information about bird life and provides precise data support for bird conservation.

[0003] In the existing technology, traditional bird observation racks mostly adopt a fixed structure, which takes up a lot of space during transportation, making them inconvenient to carry and transport, and resulting in poor portability. Currently, some observation racks with folding functions have also appeared on the market. However, the support arms installed on the observation rack for mounting bird observation instruments need to be adjusted one by one before they can be unfolded or folded. This operation is cumbersome and inefficient, making them inconvenient to use and lacking in practicality.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a foldable bird habitat observation rack to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a foldable bird habitat observation rack that is easy to open and close.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this application is achieved through the following technical solution: a foldable bird habitat observation frame, including a column, a base plate fixedly installed at the bottom end of the column, a vertical cavity with an open top inside the column, a support plate fixedly installed at the top end of the column, a vertical hole communicating with the vertical cavity at the center of the top of the support plate, multiple grooves evenly distributed on the peripheral wall of the support plate, a rotating shaft rotatably installed in each of the multiple grooves, a support arm fixedly mounted on each of the multiple rotating shafts, a bird observation instrument mounting frame fixedly installed on each of the multiple support arms, and a folding adjustment assembly provided between the column and the support plate, the folding adjustment assembly being used to simultaneously fold and adjust the multiple support arms.

[0007] A further configuration of this application is as follows: the folding adjustment assembly includes a bearing 1, a vertical rod, a driving bevel gear, multiple bearing 2, multiple drive shafts, multiple drive bevel gears 1, multiple drive bevel gears 2, and multiple driven bevel gears. The vertical rod is rotatably mounted in the vertical cavity via bearing 1, and the top end of the vertical rod passes through a vertical hole. The driving bevel gear is fixedly sleeved on the vertical rod and located in the vertical hole. A horizontal hole with vertical holes connected is opened on one side inner wall of multiple grooves. Multiple drive shafts rotatably pass through corresponding horizontal holes via corresponding bearing 2. Multiple drive bevel gears 1 are fixedly mounted on the end of the corresponding drive shaft located in the vertical hole, and multiple drive bevel gears 1 mesh with the driving bevel gear. Multiple drive bevel gears 2 are fixedly mounted on the end of the corresponding drive shaft located in the groove, and multiple driven bevel gears are fixedly sleeved on corresponding rotating shafts, and multiple driven bevel gears mesh with corresponding drive bevel gears 2.

[0008] A further feature of this application is that a rotating handle is fixedly installed at the top of the vertical rod, and the circumferential side of the rotating handle is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0009] A further feature of this application is that the first transmission bevel gear, the second transmission bevel gear, and the driven bevel gear have the same shape and size.

[0010] A further feature of this application is that the top of the bird observation instrument mounting bracket has multiple mounting holes arranged in an array.

[0011] A further provision of this application is that: a reinforcing support mechanism is provided on the column, which is used to support and reinforce the installation position of the column. The reinforcing support mechanism includes a lead screw, an internal threaded sleeve, three connecting blocks, and three positioning pins. The lead screw is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the vertical rod, the internal threaded sleeve is threaded onto the lead screw, the three connecting blocks are all fixedly installed on the peripheral side wall of the internal threaded sleeve and are distributed at equal intervals, and three guide sliding holes are opened on the inner side wall of the vertical cavity. One side of each of the three connecting blocks slides through the corresponding guide sliding hole, and the three positioning pins are fixedly installed on one side of the corresponding connecting block.

[0012] A further provision of this application is that a bearing seat is fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the vertical cavity, and the bottom end of the lead screw is rotatably connected to the bearing seat.

[0013] A further feature of this application is that the bottom end of the positioning pin is a tapered shape with a diameter decreasing sequentially from top to bottom.

[0014] This application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0015] This application utilizes a folding adjustment component, which enables the synchronous folding or unfolding of multiple support arms, making operation convenient and significantly improving operational efficiency.

[0016] This application utilizes a reinforced support mechanism, in conjunction with a folding adjustment component, to simultaneously fold or unfold multiple support arms. During this process, three positioning posts can be controlled to rise or fall simultaneously. When the three support arms are unfolded simultaneously, the three positioning posts descend, ensuring their conical bottoms are below the base plate, inserting their bottoms into the soil and ensuring the base plate is firmly attached to the ground. This securely fixes the entire observation frame to the ground. When the three support arms are folded simultaneously, the three positioning posts rise, their conical bottoms exceeding the base plate, thus reducing the overall length and space occupied by the observation frame, making it convenient to carry and transport, and highly portable.

[0024] The technical solution of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] See Figures 1-6 This application provides a foldable bird habitat observation frame, including a column 1, a base plate 24 fixedly installed at the bottom of the column 1, a vertical cavity 2 with an open top inside the column 1, a support plate 3 fixedly installed at the top of the column 1, a vertical hole 4 communicating with the vertical cavity 2 at the center of the top of the support plate 3, multiple equally spaced grooves 5 on the peripheral wall of the support plate 3, a rotating shaft 6 rotatably installed in each of the multiple grooves 5, a support arm 7 fixedly mounted on each of the multiple rotating shafts 6, and a bird observation instrument mounting frame 8 fixedly installed on each of the multiple support arms 7. The bird observation instrument mounting frame 8 has multiple assembly holes on its top, arranged in an array. The multiple arrayed assembly holes on the bird observation instrument mounting frame 8 can adapt to different specifications and types of observation instruments. The equipment meets diverse bird observation needs. It should be noted that various bird observation instruments, such as infrared thermal imagers, satellite positioning devices, high-definition cameras, recording devices, and environmental monitoring devices, can be installed on multiple bird observation instrument mounting racks 8. For example, infrared thermal imagers can achieve 24-hour monitoring of birds and timely understanding of their activities; satellite positioning devices can accurately locate the device's position; high-definition cameras can clearly capture the living conditions of birds in their habitats; recording devices can collect and store bird sounds; and environmental monitoring devices can detect the environment of bird habitats. Through the collection and observation of various data, researchers can gain detailed information about bird life, providing precise data support for bird conservation.

[0026] In this embodiment, a folding adjustment assembly is provided between the column 1 and the bearing plate 3. The folding adjustment assembly is used to simultaneously fold and adjust multiple support arms 7. The folding adjustment assembly includes a bearing 9, a vertical rod 10, a driving bevel gear 11, multiple bearings 12, multiple drive shafts 13, multiple drive bevel gears 14, multiple drive bevel gears 15, and multiple driven bevel gears 16. The vertical rod 10 is rotatably mounted in the vertical cavity 2 through the bearing 9. The top end of the vertical rod 10 passes through the vertical hole 4. The driving bevel gear 11 is fixedly sleeved on the vertical rod 10 and located in the vertical hole 4. A horizontal hole connected to the vertical hole 4 is opened on one side inner wall of multiple grooves 5. Multiple drive shafts 13 are rotatably passed through the corresponding horizontal hole through the corresponding bearings 12. Multiple drive bevel gears 14 are fixedly mounted on the end of the corresponding drive shaft 13 located in the vertical hole 4. Multiple drive bevel gears 14 mesh with the driving bevel gear 11. Multiple drive bevel gears 15 are fixedly installed on one end of the corresponding drive shaft 13 located in the groove 5. Multiple driven bevel gears 16 are fixedly sleeved on the corresponding rotating shaft 6. The driven bevel gears 16 mesh with the corresponding drive bevel gears 15. A handle 17 is fixedly installed on the top of the vertical rod 10. The circumferential side of the handle 17 is provided with anti-slip texture. By rotating the handle 17, the vertical rod 10 and the driving bevel gear 11 can be driven to rotate. By utilizing the meshing transmission action of multiple drive bevel gears 14 with the driving bevel gear 11, and by utilizing the meshing transmission action of multiple driven bevel gears 16 with the corresponding drive bevel gears 15, the synchronous folding or unfolding of multiple support arms 7 can be realized. Compared with the traditional observation frame that needs to be adjusted one by one, this design greatly improves the operating efficiency, saves manpower and time costs during the installation, disassembly and transportation of the observation equipment, and improves the convenience of use.

[0027] In this embodiment, the first transmission bevel gear 14, the second transmission bevel gear 15, and the driven bevel gear 16 are configured with the same shape and size, which can ensure the synchronicity of the multiple support arms 7 when they rotate around the corresponding rotating shaft 6.

[0028] In this embodiment, a reinforcing support mechanism is provided on the column 1. The reinforcing support mechanism is used to support and reinforce the installation position of the column 1. The reinforcing support mechanism includes a lead screw 19, an internal threaded sleeve 20, three connecting blocks 21, and three positioning pins 22. The lead screw 19 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the vertical rod 10. The internal threaded sleeve 20 is threaded onto the lead screw 19. The three connecting blocks 21 are all fixedly installed on the peripheral sidewall of the internal threaded sleeve 20 and are evenly distributed. Three guide sliding holes 18 are opened on the inner sidewall of the vertical cavity 2. One side of each of the three connecting blocks 21 slides through the corresponding guide sliding hole 18. The three positioning pins 22 are fixedly installed on the vertical rod 10. Installed on one side of the corresponding connecting block 21, the rotating vertical rod 10 drives the lead screw 19 to rotate, which allows the internal threaded sleeve 20 to move vertically, pushing the connecting block 21 and the positioning pin 22 to rise and fall vertically. The bottom end of the positioning pin 22 is a tapered shape with the diameter decreasing from top to bottom. The tapered design of the bottom end of the positioning pin 22 makes it easy to insert into the ground. Together with the base plate 24, it can support and reinforce the column 1 from multiple directions, effectively resisting the influence of external factors such as wind, ensuring the stability of the observation frame installed and fixed on the ground, ensuring the stable operation of the observation instrument in complex environments, and reducing observation errors caused by shaking.

[0029] In this embodiment, a bearing seat 23 is fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the vertical cavity 2, and the bottom end of the lead screw 19 is rotatably connected to the bearing seat 23. The design of the bearing seat 23 provides stable support for the rotation of the lead screw 19.

[0030] Based on the above structure, the operating principle of the foldable bird habitat observation rack provided in this application is as follows:

[0031] The observation frame is placed at an angle. The handle 17 is manually rotated, causing the vertical rod 10 and the driving bevel gear 11 to rotate synchronously. The driving bevel gear 11 meshes with multiple transmission bevel gears 14, converting the vertical rotational motion into horizontal rotational motion, driving each transmission shaft 13 to rotate. The transmission bevel gears 15 at the other end of each transmission shaft 13 drive their corresponding driven bevel gears 16 and rotating shafts 6 to rotate, causing the multiple support arms 7 to rotate around their respective rotating shafts 6, thus allowing the multiple support arms 7 to unfold synchronously. During the process of rotating the handle 17 to adjust the unfolding of the multiple support arms 7, the vertical rod 10 drives the lead screw 19 to rotate synchronously. The lead screw 19 and the internal threaded sleeve 20 form a helical transmission pair. During rotation, the internal threaded sleeve 20 will drive the three connecting blocks 21 and the three positioning pins 22 to descend. As needed, when the multiple support arms 7 are unfolded to a horizontal state or have the required tilt angle, the rotation of the handle 17 can be stopped. At this time, the conical bottom of the three positioning pins 22 is lower than the base plate 24. Then, the various bird habitat observation instruments are installed and fixed on the multiple bird observation instrument mounting frames 8 and the wires are connected. Then, the observation frame is erected vertically, and the bottom ends of the multiple positioning pins 22 are inserted into the underground soil, so that the base plate 24 is tightly attached to the ground. This completes the installation and fixation of the observation frame on the ground. Then, the birds in this habitat can be observed using the various bird habitat observation instruments.

[0032] When the observation frame needs to be transported as a whole, firstly, remove the three positioning pins 22 at the bottom of the frame. After removing them, tilt the frame and manually rotate the handle 17 in the opposite direction. This utilizes the meshing of multiple active bevel gears 11 and multiple drive bevel gears 14, and the meshing of multiple drive bevel gears 15 and their corresponding driven bevel gears 16. This causes the multiple support arms 7 to rotate in the opposite direction around their respective pivots 6, resulting in synchronized folding of the support arms 7. This is achieved by rotating the handle 17. During the folding process of multiple support arms 7, the vertical rod 10 will drive the lead screw 19 to rotate synchronously, which will cause the internal threaded sleeve 20 to drive the three connecting blocks 21 and the three positioning pins 22 to rise. When the multiple support arms 7 are folded parallel to the column 1, stop rotating the handle 17, thus completing the folding operation of multiple support arms 7. At this time, the conical bottom of the three positioning pins 22 is higher than the base plate 24, thereby reducing the overall length of the observation frame, reducing the overall space occupied by the observation frame, making it convenient to carry and transport, and improving portability.
