Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bird feeding devices and observation devices, and more specifically, to a hummingbird feeder. Background Technology

[0002] Hummingbird feeders are a common fixture in North America, often placed in gardens. They differ from regular bird feeders because hummingbirds feed on liquid nectar or imitation nectar, while most birds eat dry food. The imitation nectar is typically made by sweetening water with sugar or honey. In many hummingbird feeders, nectar (or imitation nectar) is stored in a reservoir and transported to an imitation flower. A perch may be provided on the feeder, allowing the hummingbird to land and, due to its long, slender beak, insert it into the opening of the imitation flower to feed.

[0003] Patent CN118104583A discloses a hummingbird feeder that automatically identifies and records hummingbirds by installing a camera and AI recognition mechanism on the feeder. This is a relatively common type of hummingbird feeder currently available. A common problem with existing hummingbird feeders is poor airtightness, causing the liquid inside to leak from various parts of the feeder, resulting in wasted nectar and inconvenience during use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a hummingbird feeder with good airtightness, which is a defect of the existing hummingbird feeder, which makes the liquid contained therein easily leak from various parts of the feeder.

[0005] This invention provides a hummingbird feeder, comprising a top cover, a column, a camera unit, and a base. The hummingbird feeder further includes a sealing cover. The top cover is detachably connected to the column. A sealing ring is fitted onto the sealing cover. The sealing cover is detachably installed to the column. The outer wall of the sealing ring is in contact with the inner wall of the column. After the top cover is fitted onto the sealing cover, it is detachably connected to the column. When the top cover is connected to the column, the pressure of the top cover on the sealing cover is not zero.

[0006] Preferably, the sealing cover is provided with a sealing ring groove, and the sealing ring is fitted onto the sealing ring groove, and the number of sealing rings is three.

[0007] Preferably, the top cover includes a first fastening structure, and the column includes a second fastening structure, wherein the first fastening structure and the second fastening structure cooperate with each other to engage the top cover and the column.

[0008] Preferably, the first fastening structure is one or more polygonal mounting blocks, and the second fastening structure includes an upper joint and a lower joint, with a mounting groove formed between the upper joint and the lower joint, and the first fastening structure is inserted into the mounting groove to complete the installation.

[0009] Preferably, the first fastening structure includes an insertion end, an upper engaging portion, and a lower engaging portion, wherein the insertion end, the upper engaging portion, and the lower engaging portion are integrally formed, the axial cross-sectional length of the insertion end along the hummingbird feeder is less than the width of the mounting groove, and the distance from the upper end of the upper engaging portion to the lower end of the lower engaging portion is adapted to the width of the mounting groove.

[0010] Preferably, a reserved space is provided between the upper engaging portion and the lower engaging portion.

[0011] Preferably, the camera unit includes a camera device, a receiving mechanism, a locking mechanism, handles, a rotating shaft, and a wiring channel. The camera device is installed in the receiving mechanism, which is movably connected to the locking mechanism via the rotating shaft. The locking mechanism is detachably installed on the column. There are two handles, which are respectively located on both sides of the locking mechanism, forming a triangle with the line connecting them to the wiring channel.

[0012] Preferably, the hummingbird feeder further includes a feeding opening, a flower-shaped feeder, and a stand. The stand includes a stand mounting hole, and the lower end of the flower-shaped feeder passes through the stand mounting hole and is inserted into the feeding opening. The stand further includes a perching part and a stand connecting part, and the perching part is connected to the stand mounting hole through the stand connecting part.

[0013] Preferably, the base and the column are detachably connected, and a sealing ring is fitted on the column. The outer wall of the sealing ring is in contact with the inner wall of the base. When the column and the base are connected, the column exerts pressure on the base that is independent of gravity.

[0014] Preferably, the hummingbird feeder further includes a support frame, which includes a horizontal support body and a vertical support body. The horizontal support body is perpendicular to the vertical support body. The horizontal support body is provided with a third anti-ant device and a support through hole. The third anti-ant device is arranged around the support through hole. The support through hole connects the upper end and the lower end of the horizontal support body. A protective plug is installed in the support through hole. An electrical wire through hole is provided on the protective plug.

[0015] Compared to existing technologies, this invention, through the design of the top cover, sealing cover, and column, utilizes the pressure of the top cover on the sealing cover to press the sealing cover tightly against the column, ensuring full contact between the sealing ring and the column, effectively improving airtightness. The cooperation of the second and first fastening structures allows the top cover and column to engage securely. The structural design of the first and second fastening structures not only makes the engagement process smoother and more stable but also extends their service life, making them less prone to damage. The detachable connection design between the base and the column allows the pressure from the column on the base to generate gravity-independent pressure, ensuring full contact between the sealing ring and the base, further enhancing airtightness.

[0031] To address the shortcomings of existing hummingbird feeders, which suffer from poor airtightness and easy leakage of liquid from various parts of the feeder, a hummingbird feeder with good airtightness is provided.

[0032] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Typical embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings. However, the invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 The hummingbird feeder 1 of the present invention includes a hook 11, a top 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 top cover 12, and the top cover 12 is detachably connected to the column 14. The base 17 is detachably connected to the bottom of the column 14, and the top of the base 17 is detachably covered by the base cover 16, with the bracket 19 detachably connected to its bottom. The camera unit 15 is detachably inserted into the column 14.

[0037] Please see Figure 2 The upper end of the top cover 12 is provided with a first anti-ant device 121. The first anti-ant device 121 is a connected groove, generally designed as a ring. In use, the groove can hold liquids such as water or insect repellent. When ants or other insects climb onto the top cover 12 along the hook 11, they will be blocked by the liquid in the first anti-ant device 121, preventing them from climbing onto the base cover 16 to suck nectar or other liquids. The top cover 12 is also provided with a rain shelter 123. The rain shelter 123 can reduce the impact of rainwater on the camera unit 15, prevent the camera lens from being contaminated by water stains, and prevent rainwater from wetting the camera unit 15 and causing damage to the camera unit 15.

[0038] Please see Figures 3-5The sealing cover 13 has multiple sealing ring grooves 131, on which sealing rings 10 can be fitted and installed. In this embodiment, there are three sealing ring grooves 131, corresponding to the installation of three sealing rings 10. In the hummingbird feeder 1, since the top is not immersed in liquid, the airtightness of the top is subject to stricter requirements than that of the bottom. When there are three sealing ring grooves 131, good airtightness of the top of the hummingbird feeder 1 can be achieved, preventing problems with airtightness caused by damage or improper installation of the sealing rings 10.

[0039] Existing technologies typically use a single sealing ring. When closed, the sealing cap fits the column, and the interaction between the sealing ring and the inner wall of the column provides a sealing effect, offering some airtightness. However, the effect is generally poor, often resulting in leakage due to issues such as difficulty in achieving a tight seal or the sealing cap's tendency to move. This invention addresses this problem by employing a locking mechanism between the upper cover 12 and the column 14, preventing the sealing cap 13 from moving. Specifically, a first fastening structure 122 is provided inside the upper cover 12, and a second fastening structure 141 is provided at the upper end of the column 14. The first fastening structure 122 engages with the second fastening structure 141 to lock the sealing cap 13 within the space between the upper cover 12 and the column 14. The first fastening structure 122 can be one or more polygonal mounting blocks, including an insertion end 1221, an upper engaging portion 1222, a limiting block 1223, and a lower engaging portion 1224. The insertion end 1221, the upper engaging portion 1222, the limiting block 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 located at the first end of the polygonal mounting block, and the limiting block 1223 is located at the 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 less than the width of the mounting groove 1413 formed by the second fastening structure 141. The column 14 includes an upper connecting portion 1411 and a lower connecting portion 1412, and the mounting groove 1413 is formed between the upper connecting portion 1411 and the lower connecting portion 1412. The distance from the upper end of the upper engaging part 1222 to the lower end of the lower engaging part 1224 is adapted to the width of the mounting groove 1413. A reserved space is provided between the upper engaging part 1222 and the lower engaging part 1224 so that the first fastening structure 122 can produce a slight deformation when it is squeezed by the second fastening structure 141, preventing excessive pressure on the second fastening structure 141, which could damage it or affect its service life. When installing the upper part of the hummingbird feeder 1, first insert the end of the sealing cover 13 with the sealing ring 10 into the upper end of the column 14, and then put the upper cover 12 onto the sealing cover 13. The first fastening structure 122 of the upper cover 12 and the second fastening structure 141 of the column cooperate and fasten. The insertion end 1221 is inserted into the mounting groove 1413, and the upper cover 12 is rotated so that the upper connecting part 1411 contacts the upper engaging part 1222 through the inclined surface of the insertion end 1221 and locks the upper cover 12 and the column 14. When the limit block 1223 contacts the upper joint 1411, it can no longer be rotated, and the engagement of the upper cover 12 and the column 14 is completed. After engagement, the lower end of the first anti-ant device 121 contacts 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 downward pressure exerted by the upper cover 12 on the sealing cover 13 tightens the sealing cover 13, causing its limiting structure to abut against the column 14. This ensures that the sealing ring 10 fitted on the sealing cover 13 is in full contact with the column 14, increasing the sealing degree, improving airtightness, and preventing leakage of the contained liquid. Indicator arrows are marked on the upper cover 12 and the column 14 to facilitate alignment by the user. When the arrows are aligned, the base insertion end 1221 of the first fastening structure 122 is directly aligned with the mounting groove 1413. At this point, rotating the column 14 or the upper cover 12 completes the installation.

[0040] Please see Figures 6-8 The column 14 has an open top and a hollow interior, containing a liquid storage tank 142. The liquid storage tank 142 connects to the base 17 from top to bottom. A mounting space 146 for accommodating a camera unit 15 is located in the middle of the column 14. The camera unit 15 includes a camera device 151, a housing mechanism 152, a locking mechanism 153, a handle 154, a rotating shaft 155, and a wiring channel 156. The camera device 151 is mounted in the housing mechanism 152, which is movably connected to the locking mechanism 153 via the rotating shaft 155. The locking mechanism 153 is detachably mounted in the mounting space 146.

[0041] In existing technology, the camera unit is snapped into the column by a latch at the top. Disassembly requires two hands: one hand presses down the latch, while the other pushes the camera unit from front to back. This has several drawbacks. First, disassembly is inconvenient. Second, pushing the camera unit from the front inevitably touches the lens, contaminating it and requiring cleaning. Furthermore, the power interface of the camera device is often located at the rear of the unit, increasing the probability of damage from rain. The locking mechanism 153 of this invention features two handles 154 and a wiring channel 156. The two handles 154 are located on opposite sides of the locking mechanism 153 and engage with the column latch 144 to secure the locking mechanism 153. The wiring channel 156 can accommodate at least one adult's finger. Preferably, the vertical height of the opening of the wiring channel 156 is at least 1.4 cm, and the horizontal length is at least 1.6 cm. This design accommodates most people's fingers, facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the camera unit 15. Meanwhile, the power cord enters the installation space 146 through the wiring channel 156, reducing the chance of it getting wet from rain and protecting the camera unit 15 to some extent. When disassembling the camera unit 15, you can insert your index finger into the wiring channel 156, and pinch the handles 154 at both ends with your thumb and another finger. By applying force with all three fingers, you can easily and stably remove the camera unit 15. This method facilitates one-handed operation, and the force applied by three fingers makes the removal process more stable, while also preventing contamination from fingers touching the lens. During installation, simply align the locking mechanism 153 with the installation space 146, push the locking mechanism 153 in, and the two handles 154 will engage with the two column latches 144 to complete the installation. In order to ensure that the power cord can be attached to the locking mechanism 153 without hindering the insertion and removal of fingers, a power cord fixing device 157 can be provided on the locking mechanism 153. The power cord fixing device 157 can lock the power cord, so as not to affect the removal operation. At the same time, when the fingers are inserted into the power cord channel 156, they will not be obstructed or uncomfortable.

[0042] Please see Figures 8-12 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. A sealing ring 10 is fitted onto 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 can be one or more polygonal mounting blocks, including a base insertion end 1711, an upper base engaging portion 1712, and a lower base engaging portion 1714. The base insertion end 1711, upper base engaging portion 1712, and lower base engaging portion 1714 are integrally formed. The base insertion end 1711 connects the upper base engaging portion 1712 and the lower base engaging portion 1714. The base insertion end 1711 is located at one end of the polygonal mounting block. The axial cross-sectional length of the base insertion end 1711 along the hummingbird feeder 1 is less than the distance from the upper end of the upper base engaging portion 1712 to the lower end of the lower base engaging portion 1714, and less than the width of the base mounting groove 1433 formed by the third fastening structure 143. The column 14 includes an upper base engaging portion 1431 and a lower base engaging portion 1432, with the base mounting groove 1433 formed between the upper base engaging portion 1431 and the lower base engaging portion 1432. The distance from the upper end of the upper engaging portion 1712 to the lower end of the lower engaging portion 1714 is adapted to the width of the base mounting groove 1433. A reserved space is provided between the upper engaging portion 1712 and the lower engaging portion 1714 to allow the fourth fastening structure 171 to undergo slight deformation when squeezed by the third fastening structure 143, preventing excessive pressure on the third fastening structure 143 from damaging it 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 upper engaging portion 1431 of the base contacts the upper engaging portion 1712 of the base and locks the column 14 and the base 17. A bevel can be provided on the lower joint 1432 of the base to facilitate a smooth engagement process. When the base insertion end 1711 contacts the second end of the mounting groove 1433, rotation can no longer continue, and the engagement of the column 14 and the base 17 is complete. After engagement, the column 14 exerts pressure on the base 17 without relying on gravity. Through the pressure of the column 14 on the base 17, the sealing ring 10 fitted on the column 14 can fully contact the base 17, increasing the degree of sealing, improving airtightness, and preventing leakage of the contained liquid. Indicator arrows are marked on the base cover plate 16 and the column 14 to facilitate alignment by the user. 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, rotating the column 14 or the base 17 completes the installation.

[0044] The base 17 is equipped with a base outlet 174, a base seal 176, and a base reservoir 173. The base outlet 174 connects the base reservoir 173 and the cylindrical reservoir 142. Liquid contained in the cylindrical reservoir 142 enters the base reservoir 173 through the base outlet 174. The base seal 176 is made of soft, waterproof material and is shaped to fit the base reservoir 173, but is slightly larger than the reservoir 173 to ensure an interference fit. In use, the base seal 176 is placed in the base reservoir 173. Liquid enters the reservoir 173 from the base outlet 174, filling the seal and applying outward pressure. This causes the outer wall of the seal 176 to press against the inner wall of the reservoir 173, resulting in better waterproofing. This prevents liquid from flowing into the left, right, and rear sides of the base 17.

[0045] A base cover 16 is fastened to the base 17. The base cover 16 has a feeding opening 161, a perch 162, and a flower-shaped feeder 163. The perch 162 includes a perch mounting hole 1621, a perching portion 1622, and a perch connecting portion 1623. The perching portion 1622 is connected to the perch mounting hole 1621 via the perch connecting portion 1623. The lower end of the flower-shaped feeder 163 passes through the perch mounting hole 1621 and is inserted into the feeding opening 161, then passes through the base seal 176 to reach the base nectar reservoir 173. The hummingbird can suck nectar from the base nectar reservoir 173 by inserting its beak into the flower-shaped feeder 163. The distance between the perching portion 1622 of the perch 162 and the perch mounting hole 1621 is 1-5 cm, preferably 2-4 cm. This arrangement ensures that the distance between the perch 1622 and the feeding opening 161 is appropriate, allowing the hummingbird to easily sip the nectar when perched on the perch 1622. At this point, the camera device 151 can be used to capture static, clearer images of the hummingbird.

[0046] The lower end of the base 17 is provided with an external mounting groove 177 for connecting an external fixing device. For easy adaptation, the external mounting groove has various interfaces, such as a cylindrical mounting interface and a plate-shaped screw fixing mounting interface. In this invention, we use a cylindrical mounting interface to connect an external connector 18. The connector 18 may include a connector engaging mechanism 182 and a second anti-ant device 181. The connector engaging mechanism 182 can be located at either end or both ends of the connector 18, serving a fixing function. The second anti-ant device 181 is located in the middle of the connector 18 and can be configured as an annular water tank, filled with water or insect repellent liquid during 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 as a single piece. In normal use, the horizontal bracket body 198 and the vertical bracket body 199 are perpendicular. The horizontal bracket body 198 is provided with a bracket external groove 191, which can be connected to the base 17 through the connector 18. A bracket locking mechanism 192 can be provided inside the bracket external groove 191. The bracket locking mechanism 192 can cooperate with the connector locking mechanism 182 of the connector 18 to lock together, making the installation of the hummingbird feeder 1 more secure. The horizontal bracket body 198 can also be provided with a universal mounting hole 193 to facilitate the adaptation to other types of bird feeders.

[0048] In existing technology, when power is needed for the camera device, it is often supplied via 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 socket, etc. Ants or squirrels can easily climb onto the feeding device via the power cord. In this invention, a third anti-ant device 194 is also provided on the horizontal support body 198. The third anti-ant device 194 is arranged around the support through hole 196 and can hold water or insect repellent. The support through hole 196 connects the upper and lower ends of the horizontal support body 198. A protective plug 195 is installed in the support through hole 196. The protective plug 195 is a soft plug, and an electrical wire through hole 1951 is provided on the protective plug 195, allowing the wire to pass through from one end of the protective plug 195 and out from the other end. The protective plug 195 can serve the dual purpose of preventing small insects such as ants and squirrels. When primarily designed to prevent small insects such as ants, the power cord is threaded from top to bottom through the wire through-hole 1951 after being connected to the power source, and the other end is connected to the camera device 151. In this way, when ants and other small insects crawl along the wire to the protective plug 195, they will be blocked by the third anti-ant device 194 and will not be able to reach the hummingbird feeder 1. When primarily designed to prevent squirrels, the power cord is threaded from bottom to top through the wire through-hole 1951 after being connected to the power source, and 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 support body 198 and will not be able to reach the hummingbird feeder 1.

[0049] The vertical support body 199 provides a more stable fixing method. When installation is required using the vertical support body 199, the vertical mounting holes 197 are aligned with pre-fixed nails or other auxiliary installation objects to install the support 19. This installation method allows the entire vertical support body 199 to be secured to trees, walls, or other installation objects, making the entire hummingbird feeder 1 more stable and less prone to shaking, thus resisting natural conditions such as strong winds. It also ensures clearer images from the camera device 151. The lower end of the support 19 also has an installation interface, allowing it to be connected to a support pole directly erected on the ground, providing more installation options.

[0050] Compared with existing technologies, this invention, through the design of the upper cover 12, sealing cover 13, and column 14, utilizes the pressure of the upper cover 12 on the sealing cover 13 to press the sealing cover 13 tightly against the column 14, ensuring full contact between the sealing ring 10 and the column 14, effectively improving airtightness. The upper cover 12 and the column 14 are locked together through 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 locking process smoother and more stable, but also extends the service life of both, making them less prone to damage. The detachable connection design between the base 17 and the column 14 ensures that the pressure of the column 14 on the base 17 is greater than its own weight, guaranteeing full contact between the sealing ring 10 and the base 17, further improving airtightness.
