DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The following is a more detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and the accompanying drawings so that a person skilled in the art can implement the embodiments after reading the description. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0021] The present invention provides Figure 1-4 A hidden bird-watching device for the wild shown in the figure comprises a hiding device 1, wherein the hiding device 1 comprises a top shielding portion 11 and a bottom shielding portion 12, both of which are provided with a camouflage layer on the outer surface, and the top shielding portion 11 or the bottom shielding portion 12 is provided with a lens mounting hole 112; an observation device 2, wherein the observation device 2 comprises a naked eye observation hole 111 provided on the top shielding portion and an equipment mounting device for fixing an image acquisition device, and the diameter of the naked eye observation hole 111 is smaller than the diameter of the human iris; and a fixing device 3, used to fix the observation device 2 and the hiding device 1 on the body of the observer.

[0022] Based on the applicant's experience in daily work and the animal behavior and ecological characteristics of birds, the applicant in this case found that the reason why wild birds are not easy to be observed closely is that wild birds are more sensitive to colors and direct gaze from human eyes. Therefore, taking corresponding measures against these two factors can solve the problem of not being able to observe wild birds for a long time and at close range.

[0023] The concealment device uses a camouflage layer to disguise the outer surface of the invention to be consistent with the natural environment around the observer, so that after the observer is covered by the invention, the interference to wild birds is minimized. Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the camouflage layer can be a mimic camouflage coating applied on the outer surface of the concealment device, and the concealment device can be made of flexible cloth and divided into a top shielding part and a bottom shielding part. The top shielding part is used to shield the observer's head, and the bottom shielding part is used to shield the observer's torso and limbs.

[0024] The observation device is used for the observer to observe wild birds with the naked eye or an image acquisition device. The naked eye observation hole is set in the area corresponding to the observer's eyes on the top shielding part, so as to shield the observer's sight and make it difficult for wild birds to detect. Wild birds are more sensitive to the direct gaze of human eyes, and the sight of human eyes is generally considered to be the light reflected by the sclera and iris. The sclera is lighter in color and the reflected light is more obvious. The diameter of the naked eye observation hole is smaller than the diameter of the human iris. When observing, the human eye only needs to align the pupil and the iris near the pupil with the naked eye observation hole. The color of the iris and pupil is darker, and the reflectivity of the light is lower, so it is not easy to be discovered by wild birds. When observing wild birds, in order to save image data, the observer generally carries an image acquisition device, such as a camera or a video camera. Therefore, the observation device includes an equipment installation device for fixing the image acquisition device, and the concealed device is also provided with a lens mounting hole for the lens of the image acquisition device to enter and exit. Furthermore, the lens mounting hole can also be provided with a rain shelter, which includes a compression spring with one end fixedly connected around the lens mounting hole and a protective cover arranged on the inner and outer surfaces of the compression spring for wrapping the compression spring. One end of the protective cover is fixedly connected around the lens mounting hole, and the other end is closed and connected to the male surface of Velcro through an extension belt, and the female surface of Velcro is arranged on the top shielding part or the bottom shielding part; the protective cover can be made of waterproof cloth, and together with the compression spring, it constitutes a retractable cylindrical structure arranged around the lens mounting hole. When the rain shelter is not in use, the compression spring can be compressed, and the male surface and female surface of the Velcro are buckled to make the rain shelter tightly attached to the lens mounting hole. When the rain shelter needs to be used, the male and female surfaces of the Velcro are torn apart, the compression spring is reset, and the rain shelter is propped up to prevent rainwater from entering the interior of the present invention from the lens mounting hole; the Velcro can also be replaced by commonly used connecting structures such as snaps and buckles.

[0025] The fixing device can increase the stability of the observation device and the concealment device, making it less likely for the observer to be exposed when moving.

[0026] Preferably, the top shielding portion 11 includes an insect-proof layer, a waterproof layer and a camouflage layer arranged in sequence from the inside to the outside, and the bottom shielding portion 12 includes a waterproof layer and a camouflage layer arranged in sequence from the inside to the outside.

There are a large number of mosquitoes, ticks, etc. in the wild environment, which will cause interference to the observer. When the observer is in the wild, the trunk and limbs are generally wrapped in clothes, while the head skin is exposed and lacks protection. Therefore, the top shielding portion is also provided with an insect-proof layer inside the waterproof layer. The insect-proof layer can be a hood made of insect-proof gauze, which covers the head and neck to prevent mosquitoes, ticks, etc. from causing damage to the head skin.

After being connected in sequence, the lower space can be increased to adapt to the body characteristics of the human body. The area of ​​the shielding side portions and the size of the connecting portion can be determined according to the different body shapes of the observer. Furthermore, a folding frame can be provided on the inner surface of the shielding side portion. Specifically, the folding frame includes a plurality of trapezoidal frames arranged in sequence from high to bottom on the inner surface of the shielding side portion, and two adjacent trapezoidal frames are hinged; the trapezoidal frames can be made of ultra-light aluminum rods, and the folding frame can fully extend the shielding side portion, so that the space of the bottom shielding portion is larger. At the same time, the hinged manner makes it easy to fold the shielding side portion for easy storage.

[0028] Preferably, the connecting part 122 is an elastic fabric piece or a zipper. The elastic fabric piece can be an elastic mesh. The elastic fabric piece is used to connect two adjacent shielding side parts, so that the bottom shielding part is relatively closed.
