[0003] However, there are many structural deficiencies in the bird feeders currently on the market. For example, the layout of the camera and the granary part of the bird feeder is unreasonable, and even causes the camera to be easily blocked by the granary when shooting, and it is impossible to clearly capture the picture of birds eating. For example, the granary is often fixed on the bird feeder, which is inconvenient to operate when adding food or cleaning, and it is difficult to adapt to the feeding needs of different types of birds. In addition, the granary lacks an effective protective structure. When encountering bad weather (such as rain, snow, strong wind, etc.), the food is easily wet or blown away, causing food waste, and is not conducive to the healthy feeding of birds. Moreover, the existing bird feeders are difficult to assemble and disassemble. The granary, roof, chassis, and standing perches are all fixed to the main body of the bird feeder, and the detachable performance is weak, which brings many inconveniences to the user's use and maintenance. When the bird feeder needs to be maintained, repaired or replaced, the operation is relatively cumbersome, consuming time and energy.

[0078] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , a bird feeder provided in an embodiment of the present application comprises:

[0079] The bird feeder body 10 includes a mounting base 12, a main frame 14 fixedly connected to the mounting base 12, and a support frame 16 disposed on a side of the main frame 14 away from the mounting base 12;

[0080] A camera assembly 18, the camera assembly 18 is mounted on the main frame 14 and has a camera 180 for photographing a feeding area of ​​an animal;

[0081] A food storage 20, wherein the food storage 20 is used to provide food for the feeding animals, and the food storage 20 is detachably connected to the main frame 14 and is staggered with the camera assembly 18; and

[0082] A roof structure 30 covers the grain storage 20 and is detachably connected to the support frame 16 .

[0083] The bird feeder provided in the embodiment of the present application installs the camera assembly 18 on the main frame 14 and staggers it with the food storage 20 to avoid the food storage 20 blocking the shooting angle of the camera 180, so that the camera 180 can clearly and unobstructedly capture the scene of the animal feeding area; the bird feeder also provides great convenience for users to add food and clean the food storage 20 by detachably connecting the food storage 20 to the main frame 14, and the roof structure 30 is detachably connected to the supporting frame 16, which not only enhances the stability of the overall structure of the bird feeder, but also makes it more convenient to install and disassemble the roof structure 30, and is also convenient for users to clean or replace the roof structure 30; the bird feeder also effectively blocks the invasion of rain, snow and strong wind on food by covering the roof structure 30 on the food storage 20, and can also effectively prevent rainwater from entering the food storage 20 to wet the food, thereby avoiding food spoilage.

[0084] In this embodiment, the bird feeder is provided with the camera 180 so that the user can remotely observe the activities of the birds, thereby increasing the fun and interactivity of the bird feeding process.

[0085] In this embodiment, the mounting base 12 can firmly fix the entire bird feeder body 10 at a predetermined position, and the main frame 14 is installed on the mounting base 12 to firmly install the camera assembly 18 to ensure the stability of the camera assembly 18 during use and avoid affecting the shooting effect due to shaking or displacement.

[0086] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3In this embodiment, the main frame 14 is tightly fixedly connected to the mounting base 12 to serve as the basic support mechanism of the entire bird feeder. It can be made of a strong and durable material, such as high-strength plastic or metal, to ensure that it can bear the weight of each part of the bird feeder and can withstand a certain external impact force. The camera assembly 18 of the bird feeder in this embodiment is detachably installed in the main frame 14. Specifically, the main frame 14 is provided with a receiving space 140 for accommodating the camera assembly 18 and a lens mounting hole 142 that communicates with the receiving space for the camera 180 to be exposed, so that the camera assembly 18 is installed in the main frame 14. On the one hand, the entire bird feeder structure can be made compact, and on the other hand, the camera 180 used to shoot the animal feeding area can be protected. In this embodiment, the food storage 20 of the bird feeder is detachably connected to the main frame 14. If the user needs to add food or clean the food storage 20, he only needs to easily remove the food storage 20 from the main frame 14 without being restricted by the overall structure of the bird feeder. The roof structure 30 of the bird feeder in this embodiment covers the grain storage device 20, providing effective protection for the grain storage device 20 to prevent the grain from getting wet and causing the grain stored therein to deteriorate. In addition, the roof structure 30 is detachably connected to the supporting frame 16, providing convenience for disassembly and assembly of the roof structure 30, which is convenient for users to maintain and replace.

[0087] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the grain storage device 20 is staggered with the camera assembly 18, so that the camera 180 obtains a sufficiently wide shooting field of view, which allows the camera assembly 18 to clearly and unobstructedly capture the images of the animal eating area, and also avoids the influence of grain on the camera assembly 18, thereby ensuring the shooting quality.

[0088] During installation, the camera assembly 18 is placed in the main frame 14 so that the camera 180 can be exposed from the lens mounting hole, and is fixedly connected to the main frame 14 by a fixing structure to ensure that the camera 180 does not shake or move during shooting. The mounting base 12 is fixedly connected to the main frame 14 to further fix the camera assembly 18. Fasteners such as screws and / or a snap-fit ​​connection method can be used to ensure that the main frame 14 is firmly fixedly connected to the mounting base 12. The support frame 16 is fixedly installed on the side of the main frame 14 away from the mounting base 12. Fasteners such as screws and / or a snap-fit ​​connection method can be used, or the support frame 16 and the main frame 14 are integrally formed. The grain storage 20 is aligned with the detachable connection part on the main frame 14 and is firmly connected to the main frame 14, and the grain storage 20 and the camera assembly 18 are staggered. The roof structure 30 is covered on the grain storage device 20 and is detachably connected to the support frame 16 to ensure that the roof structure 30 and the support frame 16 are fixedly installed and to protect the grain storage device 20 and the camera assembly 18.

[0089] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, the camera assembly 18 is detachably connected to the main frame 14, and the camera assembly 18 includes a plurality of groups of cameras 180, each of which is arranged at intervals around the main frame 14 and / or at different heights on the same side of the main frame 14. The bird feeder provided in this embodiment is provided with a plurality of cameras 180, which can greatly enhance the flexibility and comprehensiveness of shooting. The layout of the plurality of cameras 180 can be arranged at intervals around the main frame 14, or arranged at different heights on the same side of the main frame 14, or a mixed arrangement of the above two methods. The different layouts of the cameras 180 can obtain shooting effects and shooting picture data in different situations, which can greatly enrich the shooting and observation content.

[0090] In this embodiment, the number, position and angle of the cameras 180 are set to accurately capture the animal feeding area. For images that need to be captured at a slightly longer distance from the bird feeder, the number, position and angle of the cameras 180 can be adjusted accordingly according to actual needs.

[0091] In this embodiment, the number of the cameras 180 is at least one, and may also be multiple groups, and different groups of cameras 180 may be matched according to needs.

[0092] In this embodiment, the setting height of each camera 180 relative to the animal feeding area is adjustable; and / or the shooting angle of each camera 180 is adjustable.

[0093] In this embodiment, when the connection between the camera assembly 18 and the main frame 14 is detachable, it is convenient for maintenance and cleaning of the camera 180, and the camera 180 can also be replaced according to user needs.

[0094] The connection mode of each camera 180 with the main frame can be angle-adjustable and / or position-adjustable. For example, the camera 180 and the main frame can be connected by a universal joint so that the camera can be rotated at multiple angles in the horizontal and / or vertical directions. Alternatively, the camera can be installed with a rotatable pan-tilt head so that the shooting angle of the camera 180 can reach 360 degrees. In combination with the image recognition module and the main control unit, the camera can automatically track and shoot birds. The main control unit analyzes the images shot by the camera in real time. When it is recognized that the position of the bird in the picture changes, the main control unit controls the motor of the rotating pan-tilt head according to the movement direction and speed of the bird, and automatically adjusts the shooting angle of the camera so that the bird always remains in the center of the picture. Alternatively, the camera 180 can be installed on the main frame 14 using a manual adjustment button or a rocker to manually adjust the shooting angle of the camera as needed.

[0095] In this embodiment, the height and shooting angle of the camera 180 are adjusted simultaneously, and the user can flexibly adjust the height and angle of the camera 180 according to actual needs to obtain the best shooting effect. For example, when observing large birds moving at a higher position with variable flight postures, the camera 180 is first raised through the height adjustment structure, and then the shooting angle is adjusted using the angle adjustment structure to capture the activity trajectory and details of the birds in all directions.

[0096] With the plurality of cameras 180 arranged at intervals around the main frame 14, the situation around the bird feeder can be captured in all directions without blind spots. When birds approach the bird feeder from different directions, whether from the front, back or side, there are corresponding cameras 180 that can capture and photograph the birds, thereby providing users with complete and comprehensive bird visit data.

[0097] By arranging the plurality of cameras 180 at different heights along the same side of the main frame 14, it is possible to shoot and observe bird activities at different heights. For example, a camera 180 at a lower position can capture detailed images of birds feeding at a close distance from a bird feeder, while a camera 180 at a higher position can capture and observe the postures of birds approaching the bird feeder from a long distance.

[0098] Regardless of which of the above layouts is used, the activation and deactivation of the camera 180 can also be specially set as needed. For example, when a bird is detected approaching a bird feeder, the camera 180 at the corresponding position is activated to take pictures based on the distance and direction of the bird from the bird feeder.

[0099] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figures 5 to 8 In some embodiments, the mounting base 12 includes a mounting portion 120 fixedly connected to the grain storage 20 and a slope portion 124 arranged along the mounting portion 120 in a sloped surface, and the slope surface of the slope portion 124 is used to guide the grain to the feeding area. The bird feeder provided in this embodiment uses the mounting portion 120 to fix the grain storage 20 on the mounting base 12. During installation, the grain bin body 21 cooperates with the main frame 14 and is fixed on the mounting base 12, ensuring that the grain storage 20 can be firmly and stably connected to the main frame 14 and the mounting base 12. The slope 124 is provided to guide the grain in the grain storage 20 to the feeding area. By providing a slope structure, the smoothness of the grain entering the feeding area is improved, and the accumulation and blockage of grain can be avoided. The slope is provided on the mounting base 12, so that the grain can be guided to the feeding area in an orderly manner. The slope of the slope can also be adjusted according to the amount of food that needs to be observed and fed to the birds. For example, for birds with a large appetite or a fast eating speed, the slope of the slope can be increased to speed up the speed at which the grain enters the feeding area. For birds with a small appetite or a slow eating speed, the slope of the slope can be appropriately reduced to slow down the speed at which the grain enters the feeding area. This can ensure that the birds receive clean and hygienic food, and avoid the occurrence of unsanitary conditions such as insufficient food guidance resulting in the birds not being able to fill their stomachs and excessive food guidance resulting in the grain being piled up in the feeding area, causing the food to become damp.

[0100] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the bird feeder further comprises a connecting mechanism 19, and the food storage 20 cooperates with the main frame 14 and is detachably connected to the mounting base 12 by means of the connecting mechanism 19. The bird feeder provided in this embodiment utilizes the connecting mechanism 19 to make the food storage 20 cooperate with the main frame 14 and be detachably connected to the mounting base 12, thereby realizing the fixed connection between the food storage 20 and the main frame 14 and the mounting base 12, and realizing the quick disassembly and assembly of the food storage 20 and the main frame 14 and the mounting base 12, which is simple and convenient.

[0101] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the connecting mechanism 19 includes a guide block 190 and a guide groove 192 for making the grain storage 20 cooperate with the main frame 14, and the guide block 190 and the guide groove 192 cooperate with each other and are arranged correspondingly; and / or,

[0102] The connecting mechanism 19 includes a positioning column 194 and a guide hole 196 for enabling the granary body 21 and the mounting base 12 to cooperate with each other. The positioning column 194 and the guide hole 196 cooperate with each other and are correspondingly arranged.

[0103] Please refer to Figure 6 In this embodiment, the connecting mechanism 19 adopts the method of matching and connecting the guide block 190 with the guide groove 192, or the method of matching and connecting the positioning column 194 with the guide hole 196, or a combination of the above two methods. No matter which of the three methods is adopted, the grain storage 20 can be detachably connected to the main frame 14 and the mounting base 12.

[0104] More specifically, the guide block 190 is convexly disposed on the outer wall of the grain storage 20 and the guide groove 192 is concavely disposed on the side wall of the main frame 14, or the guide block 190 is convexly disposed on the side wall of the main frame 14 and the guide groove 192 is concavely disposed on the outer wall of the grain storage 20. The guide block 190 and the guide groove 192 can be respectively disposed on the outer wall of the grain storage 20 and the main frame 14, and the cooperation of the guide block 190 and the guide groove 192 can realize the positioning and cooperation of the grain storage 20 and the main frame 14, and can also connect the grain storage 20 and the main frame 14 together.

[0105] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the guide groove 192 is in the shape of a long strip, forming an installation guide path for the grain storage 20 to be installed on the bird feeder, and the guide block 190 is in the shape of a long strip. The guide block 190 is inserted into the opening of the guide groove 192 and moves along the extension direction of the guide groove 192 until the bottom of the guide groove 192, so as to install the grain storage 20 on the main frame 14. When it is necessary to remove the grain storage 20 from the bird feeder body 10, the grain storage 20 is pulled to make the guide block 190 slide along the guide groove 192 until it is separated from the opening of the guide groove 192.

When installing the grain storage 20, the guide block 190 and the guide groove 192 are firstly used to achieve the positioning and connection of the grain storage 20 and the main frame 14, and then the positioning column 194 and the guide hole 196 are used to further accurately fix the grain storage 20 on the mounting base 12, which not only ensures the convenience of installation, but also improves the reliability and stability of the connection.

[0108] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the grain storage device 20 includes a silo body 21 mounted on the main frame 14, and the silo body 21 is provided with a storage space 23 for storing grain and a grain outlet 24 connected to the storage space 23 to discharge the grain to the feeding area. The bird feeder provided in this embodiment is detachably connected to the main frame 14 through the silo body 21, which can facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the grain storage device 20 and the bird feeder body 10, greatly facilitating the maintenance, repair or replacement of the grain storage device 20 or the bird feeder body 10, and greatly reducing the difficulty and cost of maintenance. By providing the storage space 23 for storing grain on the silo body 21, the grain storage device 20 can be removed from the main frame 14 and then stored in the grain, which greatly facilitates the storage of grain. For example, on rainy days, the grain storage device 20 can be removed from the main frame 14 to prevent the grain from being wetted by rain.

[0109] In this embodiment, the granary body 21 can be an integrally formed structure with a hollow accommodating cavity, or it can be a foldable or assemblable structure with a hollow accommodating cavity formed by enclosing a plate-like structure, so that packaging and operation take up less space and avoid damage caused by squeezing during transportation.

[0110] In this embodiment, the grain inlet of the storage space 23 is arranged on the granary body 21, and can be arranged at a position of the granary body 21 away from the grain outlet 24, as long as the grain can be loaded into the storage space 23, for example, it is arranged on the side wall of the granary body 21, or at a position of the granary body 21 opposite to the grain outlet 24.

[0111] In this embodiment, the guide groove 192 can be set on the main frame 14 or on the granary body 21 , and the corresponding guide block 190 can be correspondingly set on the granary body 21 or on the main frame 14 .

[0112] Preferably, the guide groove 192 opens along a side of the main frame 14 away from the grain outlet 24 and extends to the side of the grain outlet 24 , and the guide block 190 is arranged on the outer wall of the granary body 21 and close to the side of the grain outlet 24 .

[0113] In this embodiment, the positioning column 194 is disposed at the bottom of the grain storage 20, that is, at the bottom of the fixing assembly 22, and the guide hole 196 is disposed on the structure of the mounting base 12 for supporting the grain storage 20, that is, on the mounting portion 120. Vice versa.

[0114] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 to Figure 6 In some embodiments, the number of the granary body 21 is at least one, and each granary body 21 and the camera 180 are staggered;

[0115] The storage space 23 is respectively provided in each of the granary bodies 21 , or at least two independent storage spaces 23 are provided in each of the granary bodies 21 .

[0116] In this embodiment, the bird feeder can be equipped with a grain bin body 21, and a storage space 23 is provided in the grain bin body 21, or a plurality of independent storage spaces 23 can be provided. When there are a plurality of storage spaces 23, each storage space 23 can be an independent bin, and different kinds of grains can be stored, and each storage space 23 can be distributed at intervals around the main frame 14.

[0117] In this embodiment, the bird feeder can be configured with at least two granary bodies 21, and each of the granary bodies 21 can be provided with a storage space 23, or multiple storage spaces 23 can be provided.

[0118] In this embodiment, the number of the granary bodies 21 provided by the bird feeder can be one or more, and the granary bodies 21 and the cameras 180 are staggered with each other. For example, when two granary bodies 21 are respectively configured with a storage space 23 or one granary body 21 is configured with two storage spaces 23, the camera 180 can be set between the two to avoid the granary body 21 blocking the camera 180. This allows the camera 180 to be unobstructed by the granary body 21 when shooting the images of the animal feeding area, and can clearly capture the various action images of the birds in the feeding area.

[0119] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, at least one pair of the storage spaces 23 is symmetrically arranged relative to the main frame 14. It is understandable that, for a configuration in which a plurality of the storage spaces 23 are configured for one granary body 21 or a plurality of the granary bodies 21 are respectively configured with one or more storage spaces 23, at least one pair of the plurality of storage spaces 23 is symmetrically arranged relative to the main frame 14, which can ensure the coordination and aesthetics of the entire bird feeder structure, and also ensure the ease of processing and installation. It is common that one granary body 21 is configured with two storage spaces 23 or two granary bodies 21 are each configured with one storage space 23. The two storage spaces 23 in these two configurations are symmetrically distributed on the main frame 14, that is, a storage space 23 is respectively arranged on the left and right or the front and back of the main frame 14.

[0120] Please refer to Figures 5 to 9 In some embodiments, the grain storage device 20 further includes a fixing component 22 fixedly connected to the grain bin body 21, and the fixing component 22 and the grain bin body 21 enclose the storage space 23 for storing animal grain and are used to open and close the grain outlet 24.

In order to save packaging and transportation space, the first roof 3102 and the second roof 3104 can be folded relative to the ridge 3100, and are respectively rotated and folded along the folding portion. The roof structure 30 can effectively reduce the volume of the entire roof body 310 by rotating the first roof 3102 and the second roof 3104 along the folding portion so that they are in contact with the ridge 3100, which is convenient for packaging, transportation and storage. For example, when the roof structure 30 is transported in batches to different locations, the foldable roof structure 30 can significantly reduce the occupancy of transportation space and reduce transportation costs.

[0149] In this embodiment, the first roof 3102, the second roof 3104 and the ridge 3100 are made of foldable materials, or the first roof 3102, the second roof 3104 and the ridge 3100 are fixedly connected together by connecting parts such as hinges and slide rails.

[0150] In other embodiments, the mounting frame 312 is integrally formed with the ridge 3100, the first roof 3102 and the second roof 3104. The one-piece manufacturing method simplifies the production process, reduces the number of parts and assembly steps, and not only reduces production costs and improves production efficiency, but also makes it easier to ensure product quality consistency during the production process.

[0180] Please refer to Figures 10 to 13 In some embodiments, the roof structure 30 has a first hanging hole 3127 and a second hanging hole 3140 with the same opening direction on one side of the grain storage device 20, and the two free ends of the hanging member 80 are respectively hooked in the first hanging hole 3127 and the second hanging hole 3140.

[0181] In the embodiment provided in the present application, the bird feeder further includes a detection component (not shown) mounted on the main frame and used to detect birds approaching the animal feeding area, and the corresponding camera 180 is activated according to the presence signal of the bird detected by the detection component. When the detection component detects that a bird is approaching the animal feeding area, the camera 180 corresponding to the detection component that detects the bird approaching is activated to take pictures, and if the detection component detects that a non-bird animal is approaching the animal feeding area, the expelling module is activated to drive the non-bird animal away from the animal feeding area.

[0182] In this embodiment, the detection components are arranged corresponding to the camera 180 , and the number and arrangement of the detection components are the same as those of the camera 180 .

[0183] The detection component includes one or more of a passive infrared sensor (full name in English: Passive Infrared Sensor, referred to as PIR sensor), a laser sensor, an infrared sensor and a spectral sensor. The bird feeder also includes a power module electrically connected to the detection component. Taking the detection component as a passive infrared sensor as an example, the passive infrared sensor is electrically connected to the camera assembly 18 and the main control unit. The passive infrared sensor is installed on the side of the bird feeder body 10 close to the feeding area to ensure that the bird approaching the bird feeder body 10 can be accurately detected. The sensing window of the passive infrared sensor faces the feeding area, and the angle can be fine-tuned according to actual needs to adapt to the flight and stay habits of different birds. The power module is used to provide stable and reliable power support for the passive infrared sensor, the main control unit and the camera assembly 18. It can be configured as a common battery, such as a large-capacity lithium battery, or it can be configured as a solar panel 50, which is continuously charged by solar energy to achieve sustainable use of energy.

[0184] In other embodiments, the detection component may select a sensor that matches the action change or scene change to be detected, and is not limited to the sensor types provided above.

[0185] To ensure that the movement of birds can be captured in time when they approach, the camera 180 has a quick response mechanism. After receiving the trigger signal from the passive infrared sensor, the camera 180 can start shooting in a very short time (such as 0.1-0.5 seconds), and can set the continuous shooting mode according to user needs, taking multiple photos per second or recording a continuous video to fully record the activity process of the birds.

[0186] As the core of the whole system, the main control unit is responsible for coordinating the work of the passive infrared sensor, camera assembly and other related components. It receives the detection signal from the passive infrared sensor and analyzes and processes the signal according to the preset algorithm. When it is determined that a bird is approaching, the main control unit quickly sends a trigger shooting command to the camera assembly to ensure that the camera can capture the bird activity in time. The main control unit has a built-in intelligent algorithm that can deeply analyze the signal from the passive infrared sensor to improve the accuracy and reliability of the detection. For example, by analyzing the multi-dimensional characteristics of the passive infrared sensor signal such as waveform, frequency, and duration, false trigger signals caused by environmental interference (such as shaking leaves, light changes, etc.) are eliminated. At the same time, the main control unit can also perform simple data analysis on the captured bird images and videos, such as identifying the type of bird, counting the number of visits and stay time of birds, etc., and feed back these data to the user to provide more valuable information for bird lovers. The main control unit is connected to the user terminal device through the wireless communication module to realize the interaction between the user and the bird feeder. Users can make various settings for the main control unit through the application on the terminal device, such as adjusting the sensitivity of the passive infrared sensor, setting the camera's shooting parameters (such as resolution, shooting mode, number of continuous shots, etc.), viewing the system operation status and historical data, etc. In addition, the main control unit also supports remote control function. Users can remotely turn on or off the detection and shooting functions of the bird feeder through their mobile phones anywhere there is a network connection, achieving a more convenient user experience.
