Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal ecological engineering technology, and in particular to an ecological water replenishment pit structure for animal habitats. Background Technology

[0002] The green peafowl is a Class I protected wild animal in China, currently found only in parts of Yunnan Province, and its numbers are extremely small. Its survival is primarily threatened by two major threats: water pollution and drought. As an omnivorous animal, the green peafowl is mostly active at dawn and dusk, foraging on the ground during the day and roosting in tall trees at night. They prefer shallow water areas and are highly dependent on water sources, relying on shallow, slow-flowing natural streams, riverbanks, seasonal ponds, or mud pits formed by seepage in the forest to obtain clean drinking water. At the same time, the green peafowl is naturally wary and requires a secluded drinking environment; its drinking water safety is directly related to the survival of the population.

[0003] Currently, the protection of green peafowl mainly relies on nature reserves and specialized protected areas. However, existing general bird drinking devices cannot meet their need for concealed drinking, and the native water sources also have many problems: First, the native water pits dry up in the dry season and become turbid in the rainy season, making it difficult to provide a sustainable clean water source; second, traditional concrete water pools conflict with the natural habitat, and such artificial structures will alert green peafowl and cause them to avoid them, resulting in low utilization of the water replenishment pits; third, traditional water pits are too deep and have steep vertical walls, which can easily cause young birds to drown, and the lack of protective barriers around them makes drinking water safety a prominent issue. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the background technology by proposing an ecological water replenishment pit structure for animal habitats.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: an ecological water replenishment pit structure for animal habitats, including a soil base, and further including: an ecological water replenishment pit opened on the soil base, an annular drainage ditch surrounding the ecological water replenishment pit opened on the soil base, and an overflow bottom ditch opening located at a low position on the annular drainage ditch; a component mechanism set at the bottom of the ecological water replenishment pit and corresponding vertically to the ecological water replenishment pit; and a water replenishment mechanism installed in the soil base and the cobblestone stabilization layer to transport water into the ecological water replenishment pit.

[0016] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0017] Example like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model proposes an ecological water replenishment pit structure for animal habitats, including a soil base 1. The soil base 1 needs to select high-frequency drinking points for green peafowl based on infrared camera data, such as a sunny slope of a river valley with a slope of <10°. A sand bathing area 15 is provided on the soil base 1, sequentially surrounding a circular drainage ditch 12 and an ecological water replenishment pit 11. The sand bathing area 15 is used for green peafowl to take a sand bath after drinking, meeting their living habits. The width of the sand bathing area 15 is 2m, and the thickness is 5cm. A tree isolation area 16 is also provided on the soil base 1, sequentially surrounding the circular drainage ditch 12, the ecological water replenishment pit 11, and the sand bathing area 15. The tree isolation area 16 creates a secluded drinking environment for the green peafowl, reducing external interference and lowering their alertness. The selected trees need to be tailored to the habits of the green peafowl. The tree isolation area 16 is 10m wide. An ecological water replenishment pit 11 is set on the soil base 1, providing drinking space for the green peafowl. The internal slope of the ecological water replenishment pit 11 is very gentle (<15°) and equipped with a water level sensor. When the water level is lower than a set height, it can trigger the water pumping mechanism to replenish water, meeting the green peafowl's need for a shallow drinking environment. The water level sensor in the ecological water replenishment pit 11 sends a signal to the controller when the water level in the ecological water replenishment pit 11 is lower than a certain height. The controller receives the signal and sends an instruction to the water pumping mechanism (water pump), which delivers water to the ecological water replenishment pit 11 through the water pipe 2. A ring-shaped drainage ditch 12 is also set on the soil base 1 to surround the ecological water replenishment pit 11. The ring-shaped drainage ditch 12 is used to collect excess water in the ecological water replenishment pit 11 to prevent excessive water accumulation and water quality deterioration, and at the same time provides a channel for subsequent drainage. An overflow ditch 13 located at a low position is also provided on the annular drainage ditch 12. The overflow ditch 13 serves as the outlet for water accumulated in the annular drainage ditch 12, guiding excess water to flow into the low drainage ditch 14.

[0018] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the ecological water replenishment pit 11 is equipped with corresponding structural components. These components, arranged sequentially from top to bottom, include a pebble cover layer 101, an activated carbon granule layer 102, a coarse sand filter layer 103, a pebble stabilization layer 104, and a C25 concrete layer 105. The pebble cover layer 101 serves to prevent disturbance and also assists in water filtration. The activated carbon granule layer 102 purifies the water by adsorbing organic matter, improving the cleanliness of the drinking water. The coarse sand filter layer 103 performs primary filtration and purification of the water. The pebble stabilization layer 104 assists in water filtration and also stabilizes the upper filter layer structure. The C25 concrete layer 105 serves as the load-bearing and stabilizing structure at the bottom of the ecological water replenishment pit 11, ensuring the overall structural stability.

[0019] Its, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the pebble cover layer 101 is 8cm thick, and its function is to prevent disturbance. The pebbles have a particle size of 3-5cm. The activated carbon granule layer 102 is 5cm thick and is used to purify water and adsorb organic matter. The coarse sand filter layer 103 and the pebble stabilizing layer 104 are both 10cm thick. The coarse sand filter layer 103 uses thick river sand (mud content <3%), which is layered and compacted for primary filtration and purification. The pebble stabilizing layer is constructed with mortar. The C25 concrete layer 105 is 15cm thick. The interior of the C25 concrete layer 105 is equipped with a rubber sleeve 1051 that seals with the water supply pipe 2. The rubber sleeve 1051 seals with the water supply pipe 2 and is bonded to the C25 concrete layer 105 with glass glue to prevent water leakage at the connection between the water supply pipe 2 and the concrete layer. The rubber sleeve 1051 is bonded to the C25 concrete layer 105 with glass glue. A low-level drainage ditch 14 is also provided on the soil substrate 1, sequentially penetrating the sand bath area 15 and the tree isolation area 16, and corresponding to the overflow ditch outlet 13. The low-level drainage ditch 14 is used to drain excess water collected by the annular drainage ditch 12, preventing water accumulation during the rainy season. The low-level drainage ditch 14 is connected to the annular drainage ditch 12.

[0020] In addition, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, a water replenishment mechanism for supplying water to the ecological water replenishment pit 11 is installed within the soil matrix 1 and the pebble stabilization layer 104. The mechanism includes a water pipe trench 106 located within the soil matrix 1 and the pebble stabilization layer 104. The water pipe trench 106 provides a channel for the installation and placement of the water pipe 2, fixing its position. The water pipe 2 is installed within the water pipe trench 106, with one end of the water pipe 2 located directly below the center of the ecological water replenishment pit 11. A pumping mechanism is installed at the other end of the water pipe 2. The pumping mechanism uses a water pump, which is positioned away from the ecological water replenishment pit 11 to avoid disturbing the green peacocks. The water supply pipe 2 is installed at one end directly below the ecological water replenishment pit 11 and is also equipped with a silent nozzle 21. The silent nozzle 21 is used to change the water outlet state at the end of the water supply pipe 2 from a large columnar flow and turbulent flow to a fine water flow and a smooth flow. This reduces the noise generated when the water flows into the ecological water replenishment pit 11 and avoids disturbing the green peacocks. At the same time, a filter screen can be installed on it to filter out large particles of impurities in the water and prevent clogging of the silent nozzle 21 at the end of the water supply pipe 2.

[0021] In this embodiment, when using the ecological water replenishment pit structure for animal habitats, the water replenishment mechanism first transports water into the ecological water replenishment pit 11 through the water supply pipe 2. During the process of entering the ecological water replenishment pit 11, the water first passes through the silent nozzle 21. The silent nozzle 21 reduces the noise generated by the water flow, avoiding disturbing the animals, and at the same time filters out large particles of impurities from the components, preventing blockage of the outlet end of the silent nozzle 21.

[0022] The water then flows through the water pipe 2 into the ecological water replenishment pit 11, and then passes through the pebble cover layer 101, the activated carbon granule layer 102, the coarse sand filter layer 103, and the pebble stabilizing layer 104 in sequence, further filtration and purification of the water to provide clean drinking water for the animals. The C25 concrete layer 105 serves to stabilize the entire structure, and its internal rubber sleeve 1051 is sealed to the water pipe 2 to prevent leakage.

[0023] When the water level in the ecological water replenishment pit 11 is too high, the excess water will be collected through the ring-shaped drainage ditch 12 and then discharged through the overflow bottom ditch 13 and the low-lying drainage ditch 14 to prevent excessive water accumulation. The sand bathing area 15 allows animals to take sand baths after drinking, meeting their living habits and needs; the tree-isolated area 16 provides a secluded environment for animals, reducing external interference and allowing them to drink in a relatively safe environment. All components work together to create a safe, clean, and suitable drinking place for animals, ensuring their survival and reproduction.

[0024] The specific embodiments of the utility model have been described in detail above, but they are only examples, and the utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. For those skilled in the art, any equivalent modifications or substitutions to the utility model are also within the scope of the utility model. Therefore, all equivalent transformations, modifications, and improvements made without departing from the spirit and principles of the utility model should be covered within the scope of the utility model.
