Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of bird water feeders, and in particular to a non-powered hummingbird water feeder and a feeding method. Background Art

[0002] People living in areas where hummingbirds live use hummingbird feeders to attract and observe hummingbirds. Because hummingbirds feed on liquid nectar, the simulated nectar in hummingbird feeders is usually made of sugar and water. In many hummingbird feeders, the sugar water is stored in a container and delivered to the simulated flower, where the hummingbirds use their long, thin beaks to insert into the flower's inlet and outlet holes to drink the sugar water.

[0003] Most hummingbird feeders have two basic designs. One consists of an inverted top container that pours into a lower feeding bowl, from which the birds feed. A vacuum at the top prevents the liquid from draining out too quickly, and a float valve typically controls the flow of liquid and maintains the proper water level. The other consists of a container with a lid that has holes through which hummingbirds can sip sugar water. However, existing hummingbird feeders have the following problems:

[0004] (1) Fill water from the bottom and then put it straight, which is more troublesome to operate;

[0005] (2) There are many other structures near the water inlets of artificial flowers, which are quite different from real flowers and affect the simulation effect of the normal habits of hummingbirds;

[0006] (3) There was no suitable filming device, which made it difficult to film and record the hummingbirds while they were feeding on the sugar water in order to study their feeding process and habits. It also did not guarantee that only the hummingbirds and the artificial flowers would be captured during filming.

[0007] (4) A float valve structure is required to control the water level and liquid inlet and outlet, which places high demands on the float valve, increases costs, and is more troublesome to maintain.

[0008] Therefore, we need to develop a non-powered hummingbird feeder and feeding method to achieve water injection from the top of the feeder, ensure that hummingbirds can suck sugar water from artificial flowers without power, simulate the real state of flowers, protect the hummingbirds' foraging habits, and take pictures and records when the hummingbirds are sucking sugar water. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The object of the present invention is to provide a non-powered hummingbird water feeder and feeding method to solve the problems mentioned in the above background technology, such as the trouble of filling water with the existing hummingbird water feeder, too many structures around the artificial flowers, and the lack of a suitable shooting device.

[0010] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0011] According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a non-powered hummingbird water feeder, comprising:

[0012] A container, a connecting tube and a water storage bag, wherein one end of the connecting tube is connected to the water storage bag, and the other end is placed inside the container, and the highest water level of the water storage bag is not higher than the highest water level of the container, and the water storage bag serves as a feeding mouth for hummingbirds.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a cover plate, which is connected to the container.

[0014] Furthermore, the connecting tube includes an air cavity tube and a delivery tube, the air cavity tube is provided with an air hole, one end of the air cavity tube is placed inside the container, and the other end passes through the cover plate and is sealed with the cover plate.

[0015] Furthermore, one end of the delivery tube passes through the air cavity tube and is located inside the container, and the other end extends and hangs down after being sealed above the air cavity tube, and is connected to the water storage bag. The water level of the water storage bag is the same as the lowest water level of the container.

[0016] Furthermore, an adjustment hole is provided on the cover plate, and the opening and closing of the air hole is controlled by changing the corresponding position of the air hole and the adjustment hole.

[0017] Furthermore, a sensor is provided on the container for detecting the water level of the container.

[0018] Furthermore, there is a shooting device for identifying hummingbirds and automatically adjusting the shooting angle and shooting parameters to shoot and record the hummingbirds;

[0019] The images captured by the shooting device will not show any other structures of the hummingbird water feeder except the water storage bag and the delivery tube.

[0020] Furthermore, the invention also includes a sucrose dosing device for controlling the ratio of sugar and water, and can prepare sugar water suitable for the type of hummingbird.

[0021] According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for feeding hummingbirds using an unpowered water feeder is provided, the method comprising:

[0022] When storing water, the connecting pipe connects the container and the water storage bag to store sugar water, and the container and the water storage bag form a siphon to maintain the water level in the water storage bag unchanged;

[0023] When taking water, the hummingbird pushes open the water bag to suck the sugar water. Under the action of siphon, the sugar water is introduced from the container into the water bag through the connecting pipe for replenishment, so that the water level of the water bag remains unchanged, thereby ensuring the supply of sugar water.

[0024] Furthermore, the method also includes: when replenishing the sugar water in the container, the top of the container is opened and the sugar water is poured into it. After the sugar water is replenished, the sealing cover and the connecting pipe are placed, the air hole is closed, the water storage bag is connected to the connecting pipe, and the sugar water in the container is introduced into the water storage bag by repeatedly squeezing the water storage bag.

[0025] Furthermore, the opening and closing of the air hole is controlled by changing the corresponding positions of the air hole and the adjustment hole.

[0026] Furthermore, a sensing device is provided to detect the water level, and an alarm can be issued to notify the user when the water level is about to reach a set maximum value or a set minimum value.

[0027] It can be seen from the above technical solutions that the present invention has at least the following advantages and positive effects compared with the prior art:

[0028] (1) The present invention allows the container to be filled with sugar water directly by opening the cover, without the need to invert the container after filling it with water;

[0029] (2) Setting up a water bag as a simulated flower, and connecting the water bag to the delivery tube instead of installing it on the feeding tray, is closer to the real state of the flower, simulating the real state of hummingbirds hovering in the air when foraging for nectar;

[0030] (3) The shooting device is set up reasonably to avoid capturing parts other than the hummingbird and the water capsule. The water capsule rotates around the container to change its orientation and rotates on its own to change the shooting angle and the proportion of flowers and birds in the image, so as to meet different shooting requirements of the hummingbird during feeding.

[0031] (4) By setting a connecting pipe consisting of an air cavity tube and a delivery pipe, based on the gas-liquid balance and siphon principle in the container, the water level of the water storage bag and the water level at the gas-liquid balance surface in the container form a constant liquid level, thereby realizing non-powered water supply to the water storage bag.

For example, some operations / steps may be decomposed, while others may be combined or partially combined. Therefore, the actual execution order may vary depending on the actual situation.

[0045] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments:

[0046] Example 1

[0047] As attached Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a non-powered hummingbird water feeder, which specifically includes the following:

[0048] A container 1, a connecting tube 3 and a water bag 4, wherein one end of the connecting tube 3 is connected to the water bag 4, and the other end is placed inside the container 1, and the highest water level of the water bag 4 is not higher than the highest water level of the container 1, and the water bag 4 serves as a feeding mouth for the hummingbird.

[0049] Preferably, a cover plate 2 is further included, and the cover plate 2 is connected to the container 1 .

[0050] Preferably, the water storage bag 4 is made into an artificial flower pattern, and there can be several of them. Figure 1 Only two are shown in the figure. The opening direction of the water bag 4 is upward, and the specific inclination angle can be adjusted according to actual needs and is not limited here. A one-way duckbill valve is provided at the opening and is normally closed, serving as a feeding port for hummingbirds.

[0051] In this embodiment, the cover plate 2 is above the container 1, and one end of the connecting tube 3 is connected to the water storage bag 4, and the other end passes through the cover plate 2 and is placed inside the container 1. The cover plate structure provided here is not limited to a specific structure of the cover plate, as long as it can achieve a seal with the container 1, connecting tube 3, and water storage bag 4.

[0052] In this embodiment, the duckbill valve of the water storage bag 4 is opened to combine the siphon principle to introduce the liquid in the container 1 into the water storage bag 4 through the delivery tube 6; the hummingbird can use its mouth to push open the duckbill valve to suck the sugar water. When there is no hummingbird sucking, the duckbill valve opening is always closed to prevent ants and other mosquitoes from entering.

[0053] As attached Figure 2 , Attachment Figure 3 As shown, the cover plate 2 is composed of a hollow tube 7, a closing plate 8, and a hollow capillary 9. The hollow tube 7 is provided with an adjustment hole 10. There are several hollow capillary 9, which can be used to insert some decorative branches 13, etc. to attract hummingbirds. The effect is as shown in the attached figure. Figure 4 As shown;

[0054] It should be noted that the structure of the container 1 and the cover plate 2 in this embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the container 1 and the cover plate 2 of this application. In actual design, the shape structure of the hollow tube 7, the closing plate 8, and the hollow capillary 9 can be adjusted, and the hollow capillary 9 can be cancelled or increased or decreased according to the actual scene needs, and the decorations or other things matched with the hollow capillary 9 can also be changed at will.

[0055] Attachment Figure 4 There is also a handle 14, which can be used to hang the hummingbird feeder indoors or outdoors. The specific hanging place can be adjusted according to actual needs. It should be noted that the handle is set according to actual needs. If some hummingbird feeders do not need this function, the structure can be reduced accordingly. In more implementation methods, the handle can also be replaced with a hook to facilitate hanging in other scenarios.

[0056] The connecting tube 3 includes an air cavity tube 5 and a delivery tube 6. The air cavity tube 5 is provided with an air hole 11. One end of the air cavity tube 5 is placed inside the container 1, and the outer wall of the other end tightly fits the inner wall of the hollow tube 7 and passes through the cover plate 2; one end of the delivery tube 6 passes through the air cavity tube 5, is located inside the container 1, and is slightly lower than the horizontal position of the air cavity tube 5, and the other end extends out and hangs down after tightly fitting with the air cavity tube 5, and is connected to the water storage bag 4, and the water storage bag can be rotatably connected to the end of the delivery tube.

[0057] By changing the corresponding relationship between the adjustment hole 10 and the air hole 11, the opening and closing of the air hole 11 can be controlled; when the air hole 11 is not within the range of the adjustment hole 10, the air hole is closed. When the hummingbird feeder is in normal use, the air hole 11 is within the range of the adjustment hole 10, and the specific corresponding position can be adjusted;

[0058] Specifically, due to the close fit between the upper end of the air cavity tube 5 and the delivery tube 6, when the position of the air hole 11 needs to be adjusted, the delivery tube 6 can be rotated to drive the air cavity tube 5 to complete the adjustment; when the air hole 11 needs to be opened, the delivery tube 6 can be rotated to adjust the air hole 11 within the range of the adjustment hole 10 to achieve the orientation adjustment of the water bag 4; when the air hole 11 needs to be closed, the air hole 11 is rotated out of the range of the adjustment hole 10 by rotating the delivery tube 6; the air cavity tube 5 and the delivery tube 6 can be fixed as one, or they can be separate parts that are installed and then closely fit.

[0059] Specifically, in addition to the scheme of close fit between the upper end of the air cavity tube 5 and the delivery tube 6, the air cavity tube 5 and the delivery tube 6 can be closely rotated together. On the basis of sealing, they can rotate with each other, the delivery tube 6 can be rotated to any direction at will, and the air hole 11 can be controlled to open and close by a plug.

[0060] When the liquid is introduced into the water bag 4, since the air cavity tube 5 is full of air, the final water level of the water bag 4 is the same as the lowest water level in the container 1, that is, the same as the horizontal position of the lower end of the air cavity tube 5, forming a Figure 2 The liquid level shown in the figure is constant and maintained at this level.

[0061] In this embodiment, the number of delivery tubes 6 can also be set according to actual needs and is not limited to one. For example, two, four, or even more can be installed around the container 1. It should be noted that one or more water storage bags 4 can be connected to one or more delivery tubes 6. Using multiple water storage bags 4 to draw out the sugar water in the container 1 for distribution can prevent the sugar water in the container 1 from being contaminated. If a hummingbird carries a virus, it will only contaminate the water storage bag 4 that the bird sucks, and will not cause much impact on the quality of other water storage bags 4 and the sugar water in the container 1.

[0062] The delivery tube 6 can be used to rotate the connecting tube 3 to adjust the orientation of the water storage bag 4. At the same time, the water storage bag 4 can also rotate around the delivery tube 6 to adjust the angle of the flower.

[0063] As attached Figure 5 As shown, this is an installation position of the shooting device 12, which is in the lower cavity of the container 1, and the camera is installed on the outer wall of the container 1 facing the water bag 4, which can shoot hummingbirds and artificial flowers, and can only shoot flowers and birds. When the hummingbird feeder is placed outdoors, the background of the shot image is clean. Except for the water bag 4 and a part of the delivery tube 6, no other mechanism of the hummingbird feeder will appear, and the delivery tube 6 simulates the branches of real flowers, and the water bag 4 simulates real flowers. With nature as the background, a scene of hummingbirds sucking nectar is simulated for users to appreciate and study. The shooting effect is shown in the attached figure. Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 This is the shooting effect image under the shooting parameters of the camera's first-person perspective of 16:9, 110-degree horizontal field of view, 80mm foreground focus, and the flower branch rotated 10 degrees to the left.

[0064] It should be noted that the specific shooting scene can be when the hummingbird is sucking sugar water, or when multiple hummingbirds are queuing up to suck sugar water near the water bag 4, or when the hummingbirds are playing near the water bag 4, etc., and the shooting effect is not limited to Figure 6 As shown, the connecting tube 3 can be rotated to achieve shooting effects of various proportions of simulated flowers and hummingbirds in the image; the water storage bag 4 can also be rotated to achieve shooting effects of simulated flowers and hummingbirds at different angles.

[0065] Specifically, there are other ways to install the shooting device 12, such as achieving 360° shooting on the outer wall or bottom of the container 1, that is, it is possible to achieve shooting effects of different proportions of flowers and birds without rotating the connecting tube. It can also be combined with a solution of using multiple delivery tubes 6 to attract more hummingbirds to suck sugar water, thereby improving the efficiency of hummingbird shooting.

[0066] A sucrose metering device is provided on the container 1 to control the ratio of sugar to water, and can be used to prepare sugar water according to the type of hummingbird. The sucrose metering device can be part of the container 1 or a separate device installed on the container 1, which is not limited here.

[0067] Specifically, the sucrose dosing device has a first chamber for holding sucrose and a second chamber for holding water. After identifying the type of hummingbird that will inhale the sugar water, the sugar water is prepared using a suitable ratio of sugar to water, which can better meet the dietary needs of the hummingbird, provide more opportunities to photograph hummingbirds, and capture more diverse hummingbird behavioral characteristics.

[0068] A sensor is provided on the container 1 for detecting the water level of the container 1. The sensor may be a capacitive / electrode type, etc., and is installed above the constant liquid level. The specific installation method, water level detection method, and user prompting method are not limited here.

[0069] Specifically, when the user fills the container 1 with water, when the sensor detects that the highest water level in the container 1 reaches the set upper limit of the water level, an alarm is issued to remind the user that the liquid level is too high and is about to overflow.

[0070] Specifically, when the hummingbird water feeder is in normal use, when the sensor detects that the highest water level in the container 1 reaches the lower limit of the water level setting, an alarm is sounded to prompt the user to add liquid.

[0071] In this embodiment, by providing the air cavity tube 5, the delivery tube 6, and the water storage bag 4, based on the siphon principle, water can be introduced from the container 1 into the water storage bag 4 without power and the water level can be maintained all the time, thereby realizing a solution for filling water directly from the top of the container 1. In addition, there is no other structure or equipment near the water storage bag 4 except the delivery tube 4 which serves as a siphon tube, so there is no place for the hummingbird to stop and stand, allowing the hummingbird to hover longer, and a more realistic simulation effect of hummingbirds sucking nectar can be achieved, and more realistic hummingbird foraging habits can be captured. It can also capture and record images of simulated flowers and hummingbirds at different angles and different proportions. It is simpler and more convenient than the hummingbird feeder solution that uses inverted water, and has a better effect of simulating hummingbirds sucking nectar, and will not destroy the normal living habits of hummingbirds hovering in the air for feeding.

[0072] Example 2

[0073] Based on the unpowered hummingbird water feeder in Example 1, the embodiment of the present invention provides a feeding method for an unpowered hummingbird water feeder, as shown in the attached Figure 7Shown, including:

[0074] When storing water, the connecting pipe 3 connects the container 1 and the water storage bag 4 to store sugar water. The container 1 and the water storage bag 4 form a siphon to maintain the water level in the water storage bag 4 unchanged.

[0075] When taking water, the hummingbird pushes open the water bag 4 to suck the sugar water. Under the action of siphon, the sugar water is introduced from the container 1 through the connecting pipe 3 into the water bag 4 for replenishment, so that the water level of the water bag 4 remains unchanged, thereby ensuring the supply of sugar water.

[0076] When replenishing the sugar water in the container 1, the top of the container 1 is opened and the sugar water is poured into it. After replenishing the sugar water, the sealing cover 2 and the connecting tube 3 are placed, the air hole 11 is closed, and the water storage bag 4 is connected to the connecting tube 3. The sugar water in the container 1 is introduced into the water storage bag 4 by repeatedly squeezing the water storage bag 4.

[0077] Preferably, the communicating pipe 3 is driven to rotate by rotating the delivery pipe 6 to realize the opening and closing of the air hole 11 .

[0078] Preferably, a sensing device is provided to detect the water level, and an alarm may be issued to notify the user when the water level is about to reach a set maximum value or a set minimum value.

[0079] Based on the above solution, in this embodiment, the process of feeding hummingbirds with a hummingbird feeder is as follows:

[0080] When using for the first time, open the cover plate 2, take out the connecting tube 3, pour water into the container 1, cover the cover plate 2, and insert the connecting tube 3 into the cover plate 2 so that the cover plate 2, the container 1, the connecting vessel 3, and the water storage bag 4 form a closed space. At this time, the connecting tube 3, including the air cavity tube 5 and the delivery tube 6, is filled with air, and the lowest water level in the container 1 is at the horizontal plane at the bottom of the connecting tube 3, that is, Figure 2 At the liquid level in the middle A;

[0081] Squeeze the water bag 4. Based on the siphon principle, the liquid in the container 1 will enter the water bag 4 through the delivery pipe 6. The delivery pipe 6 acts as a siphon. At this time, the water level of the water bag 4 is flush with the lowest water level A of the container 1.

[0082] When the water level of the water storage bag 4 and the lowest water level of the container 1 are flush with point A, there is air in the air cavity tube 5 and sugar water in the delivery tube 6. The air hole 11 is opened to connect the air cavity tube 5 with the atmosphere, forming a gas-liquid equilibrium surface on the A surface, and it is a constant liquid surface. The water level of the water storage bag 4 and the lowest water level of the container 1 will always be at the A liquid surface.

[0083] Specifically, after achieving a constant liquid level at point A, if a hummingbird comes to suck the sugar water, it can push open the duckbill valve of the water bag 4 to suck it. During the sucking process, as the liquid in the container 1 decreases, air will be replenished from the air cavity tube 5, which is manifested as small bubbles emerging from the liquid at the liquid level A. The highest water level in the container 1 drops as the hummingbird sucks.

[0084] In this embodiment, the troublesome solution of the existing hummingbird water feeder that requires filling water from the bottom of the container and then screwing it into the feeding tray is avoided. The design allows water to be poured directly into the container from the top. A new water filling solution based on siphon is implemented to ensure the supply of sugar water in the water bag without power. This makes it more convenient to add sugar water to the hummingbird feeder and avoids problems such as inversion and leakage.

[0085] Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate other embodiments of the present invention after considering the specification and practicing the invention disclosed herein. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the present invention that follow the general principles of the present invention and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art that are not disclosed herein. The description and examples are to be considered as exemplary only, and the true scope and spirit of the present invention are indicated by the claims. It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the precise structure described above and shown in the accompanying drawings, and that various modifications and changes can be made without departing from its scope.
