[0001] This invention relates to the field of artificial bird nest technology, specifically to an intelligently monitored artificial bird nest. Background Technology

[0002] In urban greening, many artificial bird nests are built in parks for birds to live in. They come in a variety of shapes and types, but most of the bird nests now have a rigid structure and a single function.

[0003] For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN218869073U discloses an intelligent monitoring artificial bird nest, including a conical top cover, a cylindrical bird nest outer panel, a bird entrance, a bird entrance pedal, an arc-shaped support limiting plate, a circular bird nest bottom panel, a circular bird nest tray, a circular bird nest tray inner groove, a triangular reinforcing plate, a side support plate, and an anti-detachment ring. The upper part of the cylindrical bird nest outer panel is connected to the conical top cover, and the cylindrical bird nest outer panel has a bird entrance. Multiple bird entrances are distributed on the axial side of the cylindrical bird nest outer panel, and a bird entrance pedal is located at the lower part of the bird entrance. The upper part of the arc-shaped support limiting plate is connected to the cylindrical bird nest outer panel, and the lower part of the arc-shaped support limiting plate is connected to the circular bird nest bottom panel. Three arc-shaped support limiting plates are distributed at the lower part of the cylindrical bird nest outer panel.

[0004] This patent does not provide further technical solutions for monitoring the environment inside the bird's nest or maintaining the bird's activity environment. This results in significant limitations on temperature control and ventilation in the bird's activity space, which can lead to serious drawbacks for the bird's survival and growth. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides an intelligent monitoring artificial bird nest that enables temperature control monitoring, activity monitoring, and data monitoring of bird habitats within the nest, providing reference evidence for subsequent bird activity research. The nest's housing and lid are movable, achieving both sealing and ventilation functions, and temperature monitoring allows for temperature regulation within the nest, ensuring a suitable temperature.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an intelligent monitoring artificial bird's nest, comprising a box, a cover, and a cleaning mechanism. A power source is provided on the cover, a monitoring mechanism is provided at the upper edge of the box, a cover plate is provided on the top of the box via a limiting mechanism, a cleaning mechanism is provided on the bottom of the box, and the bottom of the box is connected to the cleaning mechanism. The sides of the box are mounted on support columns via snap-fit ​​components. Socket plates are provided on both sides of the inside of the box, a telescopic rod is provided at the bottom of the socket plates, and a ventilation fan is provided at the top of the telescopic rod. The ventilation fan is pushed up by the telescopic rod to abut against the bottom of the cover, and then pushed upwards to separate the cover from the box, thus providing ventilation to the inside of the box. A fence plate is provided between the socket plates, and the fence plate is fixedly connected to the inner walls of the box on the front and back sides. A bird's nest is provided above the fence plate, and the two sides of the bird's nest are snapped into the socket plates.

[0007] Preferably, a limiting mechanism is provided at the four top corners of the box body. The limiting mechanism includes a spring, a locking cylinder, and a sliding shaft. A cylindrical hole is opened at each of the four top corners of the box body. A locking cylinder is provided at the top of the cylindrical hole. A sliding shaft is provided inside the cylindrical hole. A locking block is provided at the bottom of the sliding shaft. A spring abuts between the top of the locking block and the bottom of the locking cylinder. The spring is sleeved on the sliding shaft. The top of the sliding shaft passes through the locking cylinder and is threaded to the bottom of the cover body.

[0008] Preferably, the power source includes a photovoltaic panel, a heating element, and an energy storage device. The photovoltaic panel is installed on the outside of the cover plate, and two layers of heating elements are installed at the bottom of the cover plate. An energy storage device is installed between the heating elements and is fixedly installed on the photovoltaic panel. The energy storage device is electrically connected to the photovoltaic panel.

[0009] Preferably, the cleaning mechanism includes a water tank, a receiving box, and a recycling bin. The receiving box and the water tank are arranged vertically below the box. The recycling bin is snapped into one side of the water tank. A booster pump is installed inside the receiving box. A guide plate is sealed on one side of the booster pump. The side of the guide plate away from the booster pump is closely attached to the recycling port on the receiving box. The recycling port is connected to the recycling bin through a conduit. The height of the guide plate gradually decreases from the booster pump to the recycling port, forming a sloped structure. A high-pressure nozzle is installed above the booster pump and the high-pressure nozzle is connected to the booster pump and the water tank in sequence.

[0010] Preferably, the monitoring mechanism includes an infrared camera, a control board, and a temperature sensor, which are distributed on the upper edge of the enclosure.

[0011] Preferably, the box has inlets on both the front and back sides, and a feeding trough is provided on the front side of the box.

[0012] In summary, this invention provides an intelligent monitoring artificial bird nest that enables temperature control monitoring, activity monitoring, and data monitoring of bird habitats within the nest. It also achieves sealing and ventilation functions, and regulates the internal temperature of the nest through temperature monitoring to ensure a suitable temperature.

[0013] Specifically: the power source provides power to the monitoring mechanism, telescopic pole, ventilation fan, and cleaning mechanism; the monitoring mechanism controls the opening and closing of the energy storage device, infrared camera, temperature sensor, ventilation fan, telescopic pole, heating element, and booster pump.

[0014] An infrared camera is installed inside the enclosure to monitor the birds' activities in real time. The monitoring data is transmitted to a mobile terminal via a control board. The control board monitors the internal temperature of the enclosure by acquiring data from a temperature sensor. When the temperature exceeds the optimal range, the control system extends or retracts the telescopic rod, causing the ventilation fan to move upwards and press against the bottom of the cover. The telescopic rod continues to extend or retract, pushing the ventilation fan upwards and separating the cover from the enclosure. The ventilation gap between the two is limited by a limiting mechanism, which controls the upward distance of the cover. The monitoring mechanism then activates the ventilation fan to accelerate ventilation and reduce airflow inside the enclosure, achieving a suitable temperature for the birds' activities. Once the temperature is suitable, the telescopic rod moves the ventilation fan downwards, and the cover descends with it. The limiting mechanism ensures that the cover always moves downwards vertically. When the cover is closed with the enclosure, the telescopic rod stops extending or retracting.

[0015] When the temperature sensor detects that the temperature is below the minimum suitable temperature, the control board controls the heating element to heat the contents of the cabinet. When the temperature is within the suitable range, the control board maintains a constant temperature for the heating element, ensuring a suitable internal temperature during cold seasons.

[0016] Debris or bird droppings inside the container fall into the receiving box, where a booster pump periodically drives a high-pressure nozzle to clean the bird droppings on the guide plate and collect them into the recycling bin, thus maintaining and cleaning the environment inside the container.

[0027] The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown:

[0029] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this invention is an intelligent monitoring artificial bird's nest, including a box body 1, a cover body 2, and a cleaning mechanism. A power source is provided on the cover body 2. A monitoring mechanism is provided at the upper edge of the box body 1. The cover body 2 is set above the box body 1 by a limiting mechanism. The cleaning mechanism is set below the box body 1, and the bottom of the box body 1 is connected to the cleaning mechanism. The side of the box body 1 is installed on a support column by a snap-fit ​​piece 36. The inside of the box body 1 has two connecting plates 3 on the front sides respectively. The bottom of the connecting plates 3 is provided with a telescopic rod 4. The top of the telescopic rod 4 is provided with a ventilation fan 5. The ventilation fan 5 is pushed up by the telescopic rod 4 to abut against the bottom of the cover body 2, and is pushed up to separate the cover body 2 from the box body 1, for ventilation of the inside of the box body 1. A fence plate 6 is provided between the connecting plates 3. The fence plate 6 is fixedly connected to the front and back inner walls of the box body 1. A bird's nest 7 is set above the fence plate 6. The two sides of the bird's nest 7 are snapped into the two connecting plates 3 respectively.

[0030] Specifically: The power source provides power to the monitoring mechanism, telescopic rod 4, ventilation fan 5, and cleaning mechanism. The box 1 is mounted on the support column via a snap-fit ​​component 36. The upper part of the box 1 is connected to the cover 2 via a limiting mechanism. When the cover 2 is closed on the upper part of the box 1, the limiting mechanism is used to ensure that the cover 2 is tightly attached to the box 1, achieving a seal between the box 1 and the cover 2. A cleaning mechanism for cleaning bird droppings is provided at the bottom of the box 1. Socket plates 3 are respectively provided on both sides of the inside of the box 1. The socket plates 3 are hollow inside and open at the top. A telescopic rod 4 is provided at the bottom of the socket plates 3, and a ventilation fan 5 is provided at the top of the telescopic rod 4. When the monitoring mechanism detects that the temperature is higher than the suitable temperature for birds, the monitoring mechanism controls the telescopic rod 4 to extend or retract, causing the ventilation fan 5 to rise. The ventilation fan 5 is pushed out to abut the bottom of the cover 2. The telescopic rod continues to extend and retract, causing the ventilation fan 5 to push the cover 2 upward, separating the cover 2 from the box 1. The ventilation gap between the two is limited by the limiting mechanism, which limits the upward distance of the cover 2. The monitoring mechanism controls the ventilation fan 5 to start, accelerating ventilation and air exchange inside the box 1, reducing problems inside the box, and achieving a suitable temperature for bird activity inside the box. After the temperature is suitable, the telescopic rod 4 moves the ventilation fan 5 downward, and the cover 2 descends with the ventilation fan 5. The limiting mechanism limits the downward movement of the cover 2, ensuring that the cover 2 always moves downward in the vertical direction. When the cover 2 is closed with the box 1, the telescopic rod 4 stops extending and retracting. A fence plate 6 is set between the lower parts of the socket plate 3, and a bird's nest is set between the middle parts of the socket plate 3.

[0031] In at least one embodiment, such as Figure 2-3 As shown, in order to achieve a constant seal between the cover 2 and the box body, and to allow the cover 2 to move vertically back and forth, limiting the movement of the cover 2, a limiting mechanism is provided at the four corners of the top of the box body 1. The limiting mechanism includes a spring 11, a locking cylinder 12, and a sliding shaft 13. Each of the four corners of the top of the box body 1 has a cylindrical hole 14. The top of the cylindrical hole 14 is provided with a locking cylinder 12, and the sliding shaft 13 is provided inside the cylindrical hole 14. The bottom of the sliding shaft 13 is provided with a locking block 15. The top of the locking block 15 and the bottom of the locking cylinder 12 are connected to the spring 11. The spring 11 is sleeved on the sliding shaft 13. The top of the sliding shaft 13 passes through the locking cylinder 12 and is threaded to the bottom of the cover 2.

[0032] The specific limiting method is as follows: When the cover 2 is lifted, since the sliding shaft 13 is set inside the cylindrical hole 14 and the sliding shaft 13 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the cover 2, the upper and lower movement of the cover 2 is limited. The top of the cylindrical hole 14 is provided with a locking cylinder 12, and the bottom of the sliding shaft 13 is provided with a locking block 15. A spring 11 abuts between the locking block 15 and the locking cylinder 12. When the cover 2 is closed with the box 1, the elastic force of the spring 11 can always keep the cover 2 and the box 1 closed and sealed, ensuring the heat preservation inside the box.

[0033] In at least one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, in order to provide a power source for the artificial bird's nest, the power source includes a photovoltaic panel 16, a heating element 17, and an energy storage device 21. The photovoltaic panel 16 is preferably a polycrystalline silicon solar panel. The photovoltaic panel 16 is installed on the outside of the cover 2. Two layers of heating elements 17 are installed at the bottom of the cover 2. The energy storage device 21 is installed between the heating elements 17 and is fixedly installed on the photovoltaic panel 16. The energy storage device 21 is electrically connected to the photovoltaic panel 16.

[0034] Specifically, the photovoltaic panel 16 converts the energy into electricity, which is stored in the energy storage device 21 to supply power to different components. When the monitoring agency detects that the temperature inside the box 1 is too low and it is not suitable for birds to move around, the monitoring agency controls the heating element 17 to start heating, so that the heating element 17 is kept at a constant temperature, keeping the box 1 suitable for birds to move around and keeping the temperature of the box suitable.

[0035] In at least one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, in order to clean the bird's nest, a cleaning mechanism is set at the bottom of the box to clean the bird droppings at regular intervals. The cleaning mechanism includes a water tank 22, a receiving box 23, and a recycling box 24. The receiving box 23 and the water tank 22 are arranged vertically at the bottom of the box 1. The recycling box 24 is snapped into one side of the water tank 22. A booster pump 25 is set inside the receiving box 23. A guide plate 26 is sealed on one side of the booster pump 25. The side of the guide plate 26 away from the booster pump 25 is closely attached to the recycling port on the receiving box 23. The recycling port is connected to the recycling box 24 through a conduit. The height of the guide plate 26 gradually decreases from the booster pump 25 to the recycling port, forming a slope structure. A high-pressure nozzle 27 is set above the booster pump 25 and the guide plate 26. The high-pressure nozzle 27 is connected to the booster pump 25 and the water tank 22 in sequence.

[0036] Specifically, the booster pump 25 is preferably a booster pump with a timer function. The booster pump 25 is connected to the water tank 22 and the high-pressure nozzle 27 respectively to perform high-pressure washing of bird droppings. Inside the receiving box 23, a guide plate 26 is provided in the direction of the high-pressure nozzle 27. The guide plate 26 has a slope structure, and the slope gradually decreases towards the recovery port, so that the high-pressure nozzle 27 can wash the bird droppings on the guide plate 26. There is a recovery port to the inside of the recovery box 24.

[0037] In at least one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the monitoring mechanism includes an infrared camera 31, a control board 32, and a temperature sensor 33. The preferred model of the control board 32 is SIMATIC S7-400. The infrared camera 31, the control board 32, and the temperature sensor 33 are distributed on the upper edge of the housing 1.

[0038] Specifically, the infrared camera 31 is used to monitor the activity of birds and acquire data on bird activity. The control board 32 is used to control the opening and closing of the energy storage device 21, the infrared camera 31, the temperature sensor 33, the ventilation fan 5, the telescopic rod 4, the heating element 17, and the booster pump 25. This provides a guarantee for monitoring the internal environment of the bird's nest, cleaning and protection, and power control. It enables the monitoring of the impact of the surrounding environment on bird activity. The monitored data can be transmitted to a mobile terminal for data detection and storage, providing reference data for subsequent bird activity research.

[0039] like Figure 8 As shown, the power connection method is as follows: the photovoltaic panel 16 obtains light energy and converts it into electrical energy, which is then stored by the energy storage device 21. The energy storage device 21 provides power to each component through electrical connections to the control board 32, infrared camera 31, temperature sensor 33, ventilation fan 5, telescopic rod 4, heating element 17, and booster pump 25.

[0040] like Figure 9 As shown, the control board 32 is electrically connected to the infrared camera 31, temperature sensor 33, ventilation fan 5, telescopic rod 4, heating element 17, and booster pump 25.

[0041] In at least one embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, in order to facilitate feeding birds, an inlet 34 is provided on both the front and back sides of the box 1, and a feeding trough 35 is provided on the front side of the box 1 to facilitate feeding birds.

[0042] The embodiments described in this invention are for illustrative purposes only and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of the claims. Other substantially equivalent substitutions that can be conceived by those skilled in the art are all within the scope of protection of this invention.
