[0036] See also Figure 1 The hummingbird feeder 1 of the present invention comprises a hook 11, an upper cover 12, a column 14, a camera unit 15, a base cover 16, a base 17, and a bracket 19. The hook 11 is mounted on the upper cover 12, the upper cover 12 and the column 14 are detachably connected together, the lower part of the column 14 is detachably connected with the base 17, the upper end of the base 17 is detachably covered with the base cover 16, and the lower part is detachably connected with the bracket 19. The camera unit 15 is detachably arranged in the column 14.
[0037] See also Figure 2 The upper end of the upper cover 12 is provided with a first anti-ant device 121, which is a connected groove, generally arranged in a ring shape. When in use, the groove can store liquids such as water or insect repellent. When ants and other insects climb onto the upper cover 12 with the hook 11, they will be blocked by the liquid carried in the first anti-ant device 121, preventing them from climbing onto the base cover 16 to suck nectar and other liquids. The upper cover 12 is also provided with a rain shelter 123, which can reduce the impact of rain on the camera unit 15, prevent the camera lens from being contaminated by water stains, and prevent rain from wetting the camera unit 15 and causing damage to the camera unit 15.
[0038] See also Figure 3-Figure 5The sealing cover 13 is provided with a plurality of sealing ring grooves 131, on which the sealing ring 10 can be sleeved and installed. In this embodiment, there are three sealing ring grooves 131, corresponding to which three sealing rings 10 are sleeved and installed. In the hummingbird feeder 1, since the top is not immersed in liquid, the air tightness of the top is more stringent than that of the bottom. When the sealing ring grooves 131 are provided with three, the top of the hummingbird feeder 1 can achieve good air tightness, and prevent the problem of poor air tightness caused by the sealing ring 10 being damaged or loosely installed.
[0039] The prior art generally has one sealing ring. When the sealing cover is closed, it covers the column. The sealing ring cooperates with the inner wall of the column to achieve a sealing effect on the upper layer. It has a certain airtightness, but the effect is relatively general. Because it cannot be closed tightly or the sealing cover is easy to move, it often has poor airtightness, causing the contained liquid to leak. In view of this problem, the present invention sets a way for the upper cover 12 to engage with the column 14 so that the sealing cover 13 cannot move. The specific method is: a first fastening structure 122 is set inside the upper cover 12, and a second fastening structure 141 is set at the upper end of the column 14. The first fastening structure 122 can cooperate with the second fastening structure 141 to lock the sealing cover 13 in the space between the upper cover 12 and the column 14. The first fastening structure 122 may be one or more polygonal mounting blocks, including an insertion end 1221, an upper engaging portion 1222, a stopper 1223, and a lower engaging portion 1224. The insertion end 1221, the upper engaging portion 1222, the stopper 1223, and the lower engaging portion 1224 are integrally formed. The insertion end 1221 connects the upper engaging portion 1222 and the lower engaging portion 1224. The insertion end 1221 is disposed at a first end of the polygonal mounting block, and the stopper 1223 is disposed at a second end of the polygonal mounting block. The axial cross-sectional length of the insertion end 1221 along the hummingbird feeder 1 is less than the distance from the upper end of the upper engaging portion 1222 to the lower end of the lower engaging portion 1224, and is less than the width of the mounting groove 1413 formed by the second fastening structure 141. The column 14 includes an upper engaging portion 1411 and a lower engaging portion 1412, and a mounting groove 1413 is formed between the upper engaging portion 1411 and the lower engaging portion 1412. The distance from the upper end of the upper engaging portion 1222 to the lower end of the lower engaging portion 1224 is adapted to the width of the mounting groove 1413. A reserved space is provided between the upper engaging portion 1222 and the lower engaging portion 1224 so that the first fastening structure 122 can be slightly deformed when being squeezed by the second fastening structure 141, thereby preventing excessive pressure from being applied to the second fastening structure 141, thereby causing damage to the second fastening structure 141 or affecting its service life. When installing the upper portion of the hummingbird feeder 1, first insert one end of the sealing cover 13 with the sealing ring 10 into the upper end of the column 14, then insert the upper cover 12 into the sealing cover 13, the first fastening structure 122 of the upper cover 12 and the second fastening structure 141 of the column are matched and fastened, the insertion end 1221 is inserted into the mounting groove 1413, and the upper cover 12 is rotated so that the upper joint portion 1411 contacts the upper engaging portion 1222 through the inclined surface of the insertion end 1221 and clamps the upper cover 12 and the column 14. When the stopper 1223 is rotated to contact the upper joint 1411, the upper cover 12 cannot rotate further, and the engagement between the upper cover 12 and the column 14 is completed. After the engagement is completed, the lower end of the first anti-ant device 121 is in contact with the upper end of the sealing cover 13, and the downward pressure of the upper cover 12 on the sealing cover 13 is not zero.The upper cover 12 exerts downward pressure on the sealing cover 13 to compress the sealing cover 13, so that the limiting structure of the sealing cover 13 abuts against the column 14, so that the sealing ring 10 set on the sealing cover 13 is in full contact with the column 14, thereby increasing the sealing degree, improving the airtightness, and preventing the contained liquid from leaking. Indicating arrows are marked on the upper cover 12 and the column 14 to facilitate the user to align the arrows. When the arrows are aligned, the base insertion end 1221 of the first fastening structure 122 is facing the installation groove 1413. At this time, the column 14 or the upper cover 12 can be rotated to complete the installation.
[0040] See also Figure 6-Figure 8 The upper end of the column 14 is open, and the interior thereof is hollow, and a column liquid storage tank 142 for containing liquid is provided. The column liquid storage tank 142 is connected to the base 17 from top to bottom. An installation space 146 for accommodating the camera unit 15 is opened in the middle of the column 14. The camera unit 15 includes a camera device 151, a accommodating mechanism 152, a clamping mechanism 153, a buckle 154, a rotating shaft 155, and a line channel 156. The camera device 151 is installed in the accommodating mechanism 152, and the accommodating mechanism 152 is movably connected to the clamping mechanism 153 through the rotating shaft 155. The clamping mechanism 153 is detachably installed in the installation space 146.
[0041] The camera unit of the prior art is connected to the column through a buckle at the top. When the camera unit needs to be disassembled, two hands need to cooperate to do it. One hand presses the buckle, and the other hand pushes the camera unit from the front to the back to remove the camera unit. However, there are several disadvantages. First, it is inconvenient to disassemble. Second, pushing the camera unit from the front will inevitably touch the lens, which will contaminate the lens, so the lens needs to be cleaned. In addition, the power interface of the camera device is often set at the rear end of the camera unit, which increases the probability of being wetted by rain and damaged. The clamping mechanism 153 of the present invention is provided with two buckles 154 and a line channel 156. The two buckles 154 are respectively arranged on both sides of the clamping mechanism 153, and can fix the clamping mechanism 153 in cooperation with the column buckle 144. The line channel 156 can accommodate at least one adult's finger. Preferably, the opening of the line channel 156 has a longitudinal height of at least 1.4 cm and a lateral length of at least 1.6 cm. This design can accommodate the fingers of most people and facilitate the operation when disassembling and assembling the camera unit 15. At the same time, the power cord enters the installation space 146 from the line channel 156, which reduces the chance of being wetted by rain and can protect the camera unit 15 to a certain extent. When disassembling the camera unit 15, you can insert your index finger into the line channel 156, and pinch the buckle hands 154 at both ends with your thumb and another finger respectively. With the three fingers exerting force together, you can easily and stably remove the camera unit 15. This is convenient for one-handed operation, and the force exerted by three fingers can also make the removal process more stable, while also avoiding the possibility of contamination caused by the fingers touching the lens. During installation, you only need to align the snap mechanism 153 with the installation space 146, push the snap mechanism 153 in, and the two buckles 154 will engage with the two column buckles 144, and the installation is complete. In order to allow the power line to be close to the locking mechanism 153 without hindering the insertion and removal operations of fingers, a line fixing device 157 for fixing the power line can be provided on the locking mechanism 153. The line fixing device 157 can clamp the power line so as not to affect the removal operation. At the same time, the fingers will not be hindered or blocked when inserting into the line channel 156 for operation, causing discomfort.
[0042] See also Figure 8-Figure 12 A column sealing ring groove 145 is provided at the lower end of the column 14, and there is at least one column sealing ring groove 145, preferably two. The sealing ring 10 is sleeved on the column sealing ring groove 145. A third fastening structure 143 is provided at the lower end of the column 14, and a fourth fastening structure 171 is provided on the base 17. The third fastening structure 143 can cooperate with the fourth fastening structure 171 to complete the installation and fastening of the bottom.
[0043] The fourth fastening structure 171 may be one or more polygonal mounting blocks, including a base insertion end 1711, a base upper clamping portion 1712, and a base lower clamping portion 1714. The base insertion end 1711, the base upper clamping portion 1712, and the base lower clamping portion 1714 are integrally formed, the base insertion end 1711 connects the base upper clamping portion 1712 and the base lower clamping portion 1714, the base insertion end 1711 is arranged at one end of the polygonal mounting block, and the base insertion end 1711 along the axial cross-sectional length of the hummingbird feeder 1 is less than the distance from the upper end of the base upper clamping portion 1712 to the lower end of the base lower clamping portion 1714, and is less than the width of the base mounting groove 1433 formed by the third fastening structure 143. The column 14 includes a base upper joint portion 1431 and a base lower joint portion 1432, and a base mounting groove 1433 is formed between the base upper joint portion 1431 and the base lower joint portion 1432. The distance between the upper end of the base upper clamping portion 1712 and the lower end of the base lower clamping portion 1714 is adapted to the width of the base mounting groove 1433. A reserved space is provided between the base upper clamping portion 1712 and the base lower clamping portion 1714, so that the fourth fastening structure 171 can be slightly deformed when being squeezed by the third fastening structure 143, thereby preventing excessive pressure on the third fastening structure 143, thereby damaging the third fastening structure 143 or affecting its service life. When installing the lower part of the hummingbird feeder 1, the column 14 is inserted into the base 17, the third fastening structure 143 cooperates with the fourth fastening structure 171, the base insertion end 1711 is inserted into the base mounting groove 1433 from the first end of the base mounting groove 1433, and the column 14 is rotated so that the base upper joint portion 1431 contacts the base upper clamping portion 1712 and clamps the column 14 and the base 17. An inclined surface can be provided on the lower joint portion 1432 of the base to facilitate a smooth joint process. When the base insertion end 1711 is rotated to contact the second end of the mounting groove 1433, the rotation can no longer be continued, and the engagement of the column 14 and the base 17 is completed. After the engagement is completed, the column 14 exerts pressure on the base 17 that is not dependent on gravity. Through the pressure of the column 14 on the base 17, the sealing ring 10 sleeved on the column 14 can be fully in contact with the base 17, thereby increasing the degree of sealing, improving the air tightness, and preventing leakage of the contained liquid. Indicator arrows are marked on the base cover 16 and the column 14 to facilitate the user to align the arrows. When the arrows are aligned, the base insertion end 1711 of the fourth fastening structure 171 is directly opposite the base mounting groove 1433. At this time, the installation can be completed by rotating the column 14 or the base 17.
[0044] The base 17 is provided with a base liquid outlet 174, a base seal 176 and a base liquid storage tank 173. The base liquid outlet 174 connects the base liquid storage tank 173 and the column liquid storage tank 142. The liquid contained in the column liquid storage tank 142 enters the base liquid storage tank 173 through the base liquid outlet 174. The base seal 176 is made of soft waterproof material, and its shape is adapted to the base liquid storage tank 173. Its size is slightly larger than the base liquid storage tank 173, so as to have an interference fit with the base liquid storage tank 173. When in use, the base seal 176 is placed in the base liquid storage tank 173, and the contained liquid enters the base liquid storage tank 173 from the base liquid outlet 174, filling the base seal 176 and providing outward pressure to the base seal 176, so that the outer wall of the base seal 176 is against the inner wall of the base liquid storage tank 173, thereby forming a better waterproof effect. It can prevent the liquid from flowing to the left and right sides and the rear space of the base 17.
[0045] The base 17 is buckled with a base cover 16, and the base cover 16 is provided with a feeding port 161, a stand 162 and a flower-shaped feeder 163. The stand 162 includes a stand mounting hole 1621, a perch 1622 and a stand connecting portion 1623, and the perch 1622 is connected to the stand mounting hole 1621 through the stand connecting portion 1623. The lower end of the flower-shaped feeder 163 passes through the stand mounting hole 1621 and is inserted into the feeding port 161, and passes through the base seal 176 to reach the base liquid storage tank 173. The hummingbird can suck the nectar in the base liquid storage tank 173 by inserting its mouth into the flower-shaped feeder 163. The distance between the perch 1622 of the stand 162 and the stand mounting hole 1621 is 1-5 cm, preferably, the distance is 2-4 cm. This arrangement can make the distance between the perch 1622 and the feeding port 161 appropriate, so that the hummingbird can just suck the contained nectar when standing on the perch 1622. At this time, the camera device 151 can be used to shoot a static and clearer image of the hummingbird.
[0046] The lower end of the base 17 is provided with a base external groove 177 for an external fixing device. For easy adaptation, the base external groove is provided with a variety of different interfaces, such as a cylindrical mounting interface, a plate-shaped screw fixing mounting interface, etc. In the present invention, we use a cylindrical mounting interface and an external connector 18. The connector 18 may include a connector snap-fit mechanism 182 and a second anti-ant device 181. The connector snap-fit mechanism 182 may be provided at either end or both ends of the connector 18 to play a fixing role. The second anti-ant device 181 is provided in the middle of the connector 18 and may be provided as an annular water tank, which is filled with water or insect repellent liquid when in use to prevent ants and other insects from climbing onto the base 17 through the connector 18.
[0047] One end of the connector 18 is connected to the base 17, and the other end is connected to the bracket 19. The bracket 19 includes a horizontal bracket body 198 and a vertical bracket body 199. The horizontal bracket body 198 and the vertical bracket body 199 can be movably connected, fixedly connected, or designed to be integrally formed. In normal use, the horizontal bracket body 198 and the vertical bracket body 199 are vertical. The horizontal bracket body 198 is provided with a bracket external groove 191, and the bracket external groove 191 can be connected to the base 17 through the connector 18. A bracket clamping mechanism 192 can be provided inside the bracket external groove 191, and the bracket clamping mechanism 192 can be mutually engaged with the connector clamping mechanism 182 of the connector 18, so that the installation of the hummingbird feeder 1 can be more secure. A universal mounting hole 193 can also be provided on the horizontal bracket body 198 to facilitate the adaptation of other types of bird feeders.
[0048] In the prior art, when it is necessary to power the camera device, it is often done through a power cord, one end of the power cord is connected to the camera device, and the other end is connected to a solar power supply device or a socket, etc. Ants or squirrels can easily climb onto the feeding device through the power cord. In the present invention, a third anti-ant device 194 is also provided on the transverse bracket body 198. The third anti-ant device 194 is provided around the bracket through hole 196 and can hold water or insect repellent liquid. The bracket through hole 196 connects the upper end and the lower end of the transverse bracket body 198. A protective plug 195 is installed in the bracket through hole 196. The protective plug 195 is a soft plug. The protective plug 195 is provided with a wire through hole 1951 that penetrates the protective plug 195, so that the wire can be passed through one end of the protective plug 195 and out of the other end. The protective plug 195 can play a dual role of preventing small insects such as ants and preventing squirrels. When the main purpose is to prevent small insects such as ants, the power cord is inserted into the wire through hole 1951 from top to bottom after the power supply is connected, and then the other end is connected to the camera device 151. In this way, when small insects such as ants crawl along the wire to the protective plug 195, they will be blocked by the third anti-ant device 194 and cannot reach the hummingbird feeder 1; when the main purpose is to prevent squirrels, the power cord is inserted into the wire through hole 1951 from bottom to top after the power supply is connected, and then the other end is connected to the camera device 151. In this way, when squirrels crawl along the wire to the protective plug 195, they will be blocked by the bottom of the horizontal bracket body 198 and cannot reach the hummingbird feeder 1.
[0049] The vertical bracket body 199 can provide a more stable fixing method. When the vertical bracket body 199 needs to be used for installation, the vertical mounting hole 197 is aligned with the pre-fixed nails and other auxiliary mounting objects to achieve the installation of the bracket 19. This installation method can make the entire vertical bracket body 199 buckled on the tree, wall and other objects to be installed, making the entire hummingbird feeder 1 more stable and not easy to shake, so that it can withstand natural conditions such as strong winds, and at the same time make the camera device 151 shoot clearer. The lower end of the bracket 19 is also provided with a mounting interface, which can be docked and installed with a support rod directly erected on the ground, providing more installation methods.
[0050] Compared with the prior art, the present invention uses the design of the upper cover 12, the seal 13 and the column 14, and utilizes the pressure of the upper cover 12 on the seal 13 to make the seal 13 press the column 14, thereby ensuring full contact between the sealing ring 10 and the column 14, and effectively improving the air tightness. The upper cover 12 and the column 14 are engaged by the cooperation of the second fastening structure 141 and the first fastening structure 122. The structural design of the first fastening structure 122 and the second fastening structure 141 not only makes the engagement process smoother and the engagement more stable, but also improves the service life of both, making both less prone to damage. Through the detachable connection design of the base 17 and the column 14, the pressure of the column 14 on the base 17 is greater than its own gravity, thereby ensuring full contact between the sealing ring 10 and the base 17, and further improving the air tightness.
[0051] The embodiments of the present invention are described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned specific implementation modes, which are merely illustrative rather than restrictive. Under the guidance of the present invention, ordinary technicians in this field can also make many forms without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention and the claims, all of which are within the protection of the present invention.
