Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of grain bird feeders, and in particular relates to a grain bird feeder. Background Art

[0002] Grain bird feeders are feeding devices designed for birds. Their main function is to provide a stable food source for birds in outdoor environments. Since they are usually placed outdoors, they are inevitably affected by natural environmental factors (such as wind and rain erosion, sun aging, etc.), which shortens their service life. Secondly, grain, as the main food source for bird feeders, is prone to moisture and deterioration, which not only affects the health of birds, but also reduces the practicality of bird feeders. In addition, grain bird feeders are often harassed by other wild animals, among which squirrels are the most representative destroyers. They not only have the ability to climb and bite, and can easily approach and destroy bird feeders, but also often have considerable intelligence and can identify and circumvent some simple anti-destruction mechanisms. At present, the existing grain bird feeder products on the market mostly rely on pure mechanical structure design in terms of squirrel prevention, such as setting obstacles and increasing weight, but these methods are not ideal in practical applications. Although some products try to introduce motor drive to generate centrifugal force to prevent squirrels from climbing, due to the single method, it is still difficult to effectively deal with the diverse means of destruction of squirrels.

[0046] The present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0047] The present invention provides a grain bird feeder, which effectively prevents squirrels and other animals from damaging the bird feeder by combining the operation of the motor 302 and the movement of closing the feeding port 401 upwards, as well as the function of the speaker 104 to imitate the sound of natural enemies. This design not only improves the intelligence level of the bird feeder, but also enhances its protection against damage, ensuring that birds can safely obtain food.

[0048] Specifically:

[0049] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The grain bird feeder comprises a head module 100, a granary module 200 is installed at the bottom of the head module 100, the head module 100 can protect the granary module 200 below from direct damage by external factors such as rain, and the bird feeder can be hung at a desired position, such as a branch, a balcony or a railing, by a hanging rope, and this flexible installation method enables the bird feeder to adapt to different environments and needs, and is convenient for users to adjust according to actual conditions. The granary module 200 is internally connected with a motion motor module 300, the bottom of the granary module 200 is connected with a granary bottom module 400, the bottom of the motion motor module 300 is connected with a feeding platform module 500, and the feeding platform module 500 is located at the bottom of the granary bottom module 400. The head module 100, the granary module 200, the motion motor module 300, the granary bottom module 400 and the feeding platform module 500 are independent and interconnected, and such a setting is not only convenient for assembling and disassembling the bird feeder, but also convenient for daily cleaning and maintenance.

[0050] In some embodiments, Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the head module 100 includes a fixed bracket 101, and the top of the fixed bracket 101 is respectively fixedly connected with a main board 102, a fan 103, a speaker 104, a humidity sensor 105 and a battery 106. The bottom of the main board 102 is provided with circuit connection contacts, and the fan 103 is located in the middle of the top of the fixed bracket 101. The main board 102 communicates and controls with other components through circuit connection, realizing the intelligent management of the bird feeder. The speaker 104 imitates the sound of natural enemies, effectively preventing squirrels and other animals from destroying the bird feeder. The humidity sensor 105 can monitor the environmental humidity in the granary module 200 in real time. The fan 103 is used for dehumidification, which effectively prevents the mildew of the grain in the granary module 200, and the battery 106 provides power support for the entire bird feeder, ensuring the normal operation of each component.

[0051] In some embodiments, Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the outer side of the top of the fixed bracket 101 is fixedly connected with a water retaining frame 107. The setting of the water retaining frame 107 effectively blocks the intrusion of rainwater and other liquids, and protects the electronic components located inside it from damage. The inside of the water retaining frame 107 is fixedly connected with a solar panel 109. The solar panel 109 is located inside the water retaining frame 107 and is protected by a transparent protective cover 110. It can receive sunlight and convert it into electrical energy and store it in the battery 106, providing a green and sustainable energy source for the bird feeder. The top of the water retaining frame 107 is fixedly connected with a head shell 108. The top of the head shell 108 is equidistantly provided with a plurality of ventilation slots in a circumferential manner. The setting of the ventilation slots helps air circulation, can effectively dissipate heat, prevent the internal temperature of the head module 100 from being too high, and protect the normal operation of the electronic components. A transparent protective cover 110 is fixedly connected to the top of the head shell 108, and the solar panel 109 is located below the transparent protective cover 110. The setting of the transparent protective cover 110 not only ensures that the solar panel 109 can receive sufficient sunlight, but also prevents it from being covered by dust, leaves and other debris, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of solar energy.

[0052] In some embodiments, Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the top of the inner wall of the granary module 200 is circumferentially provided with a plurality of bone stops 201, and an entrance 202 is provided on the bone stop 201; the outer periphery of the water retaining frame 107 is circumferentially equidistantly fixedly connected with a plurality of first clips 111, the first clips 111 pass through the entrance 202 and are snapped into the bone stop 201, forming a firm connection, so that the granary module 200 can be easily installed on the head module 100, and is also convenient for disassembly and replacement.

[0053] In some embodiments, Fig.10 , Fig.11 and Fig.12As shown, the motion motor module 300 includes a mounting frame 301 and a motor 302, the output end of the motor 302 is fixedly connected with a threaded rod 303, the middle part of the top of the mounting frame 301 is fixedly connected with a gland 304, the outer surface of the threaded rod 303 is threadedly sleeved with a threaded bracket 305, and the outer side wall of the threaded bracket 305 is slidably connected with the vertical groove on the gland 304. An anti-rotation block 307 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the motor 302, and a protective sleeve 308 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame 301. The inner wall of the protective sleeve 308 is provided with a guide groove 312, and the outer side of the anti-rotation block 307 is slidably connected in the guide groove 312. When the motor 302 is started, its output end will drive the threaded rod 303 to rotate, and the rotation of the threaded rod 303 will drive the threaded bracket 305 to slide upward along the vertical groove on the pressure cover 304. When the threaded bracket 305 moves to the top of the vertical groove on the pressure cover 304, the upward movement of the threaded bracket 305 will be restricted, and the anti-rotation block 307 on the outside of the motor 302 will slide upward along the guide groove 312, thereby driving the motor 302 to move upward as a whole. At the same time, the feeding platform module 500 is driven to move upward through the threaded rod 303, and the feeding port 401 on the granary bottom module 400 can be closed through the feeding platform module 500. The up and down movement of the motor 302 drives the up and down linear movement of the feeding platform module 500, thereby achieving the effect of closing or opening the feeding port 401.

[0054] In some embodiments, Figure 5 and Fig.10 As shown, the top of the protective sleeve 308 is fixedly connected with a connector 309, and the connector 309 is provided with an electronic needle 310, which is adapted to the circuit connection contact, and the electronic needle 310 is electrically connected to the motor 302 through a wire. The upper and lower parts of the electronic circuit are connected in a contact connection manner, and the circuit connection contact contacts the lower electronic needle 310 to form a complete loop, avoiding the use of a wire terminal connection method, which makes the circuit connection complicated.

[0055] In some embodiments, Fig.11 As shown, gravity sensors 306 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the mounting frame 301. The gravity sensors 306 can monitor the weight changes on the feeding platform module 500 in real time. When abnormal weight is detected (such as squirrels and other animals climbing), an alarm can be triggered or the feeding port 401 can be closed.

[0056] In some embodiments, Fig. 9 , Fig.10 and Fig.11As shown, the bottom of the inner wall of the granary module 200 is provided with a plurality of fixing positions 203 in a circumferential shape, and the mounting frame 301 is fixedly connected to the fixing position 203 by fixing screws 311. When the motion motor module 300 or the granary module 200 needs to be maintained, the mounting frame 301 can be conveniently removed from the fixing position 203 by removing the fixing screws 311, so as to carry out necessary inspection and maintenance work.

[0057] In some embodiments, Fig. 9 and Fig.13 As shown, the bottom of the inner wall of the granary module 200 is circumferentially provided with a plurality of second buckles 204, and the outer periphery of the granary bottom module 400 is circumferentially provided with a plurality of slots 404 equidistantly arranged, and the second buckles 204 are snapped into the slots 404, thereby ensuring a firm connection between the granary module 200 and the granary bottom module 400. The granary module 200 and the granary bottom module 400 can be easily disassembled and assembled, making it easier to clean and maintain the granary, and also facilitating upgrading the granary module 200 or replacing parts when necessary.

[0058] In some embodiments, Fig.13 As shown, feeding ports 401 are provided on both sides of the outer surface of the bottom module 400 of the granary, providing convenient feeding passages for birds, making the feeding process more efficient, reducing food waste and scattering, and also facilitating the observation and monitoring of the birds' eating conditions.

[0059] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the threaded rod 303 passes through the bottom module 400 of the granary and extends to the bottom of the eating platform module 500. The bottom thread of the threaded rod 303 is provided with a fixing nut 600, and the top of the fixing nut 600 abuts against the eating platform module 500, so that the eating platform module 500 can be stably fixed at the bottom of the threaded rod 303. The operation of the motor 302 can drive the eating platform module 500 to rotate or move up and down. When the eating platform module 500 needs to be cleaned, repaired or replaced, the fixing nut 600 can be loosened to easily remove the eating platform module 500 from the threaded rod 303.

[0060] In some embodiments, Fig.13 As shown, the feeding platform module 500 includes a storage bin 501, the top of which is snapped with a feeding platform 502, a ring-shaped feeding trough 503 is provided in the middle of the feeding platform 502, so that birds can feed more easily, and food collecting holes 504 are equidistantly arranged in a circle on the top of the feeding platform 502, which can collect scattered food and return it to the storage bin 501, thereby reducing food waste.

[0061] The grain bird feeder, the humidity sensor 105 can monitor the ambient humidity in the granary module 200 in real time. When the humidity is high, the fan 103 is operated for ventilation and dehumidification, effectively preventing the grain in the granary module 200 from becoming moldy;

[0062] The gravity sensor 306 can monitor the weight changes on the feeding platform module 500 in real time, and when abnormal weight is detected (such as squirrels or other animals climbing), it can trigger the speaker 104 to emit a natural enemy sound;

[0063] At the same time, when the motor 302 is started, its output end will drive the threaded rod 303 to rotate, and the rotation of the threaded rod 303 will drive the threaded bracket 305 to slide upward along the vertical groove on the pressure cover 304. When the threaded bracket 305 moves to the top of the vertical groove on the pressure cover 304, the upward movement of the threaded bracket 305 will be restricted, and the anti-rotation block 307 on the outside of the motor 302 will slide upward along the guide groove 312, thereby driving the motor 302 to move upward as a whole. At the same time, the feeding platform module 500 is driven to move upward through the threaded rod 303, and the feeding port 401 on the granary bottom module 400 can be closed through the feeding platform module 500, effectively preventing squirrels and other animals from damaging the bird feeder.
