Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bird feeders, in particular to a squirrel-proof bird feeding house structure. Background Art

[0002] Bird feeders are mainly used for feeding birds in the wild. However, due to the fact that squirrels and other wild animals have similar feeding habits to birds, the actual feeding effect of bird feeders in the wild is greatly reduced. Therefore, some bird feeder structures that prevent squirrels from stealing food have appeared, such as the content shown in the patent with the authorization announcement number CN216906421U. Among them, birds stand directly on the pedals and peck at the feeding port. When other animals such as squirrels steal food, they will cause the bird feeder to rotate downward due to their heavy weight, thereby preventing them from stealing food. Due to the different weights of different birds, the torque of the bird feeder is usually set with multiple gears for adjustment. In the existing technical solutions, the adjustment part is usually set on the shell of the object bin. Since the torsion spring is close to the shell, there are many inconveniences when adjusting the torsion spring. Therefore, a squirrel-proof bird feeder house structure that is convenient for adjusting the torque is needed. Summary of the invention

In actual implementation, the type, quantity and proportion of each component may be changed arbitrarily, and the component layout may also be more complicated.

[0026] Embodiment 1:

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a squirrel-proof bird feeding house structure includes a storage bin 1 for storing food. In this example, the storage bin 1 is a square structure that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. On the one hand, it is convenient for food to be gathered at the bottom, and on the other hand, it plays a certain rainproof role; it also includes a support member 2 rotatably connected to the storage bin 1; a torsion spring 3 is arranged between the support member 2 and the storage bin 1; the torsion spring 3 is sleeved on the rotatable connection portion between the support member 2 and the storage bin 1; one end of the torsion spring 3 is clamped with the storage bin 1; a plurality of clamping grooves 223 are also arranged on the support member 2; the other end of the torsion spring 3 is clamped with the clamping groove 223 on the support member 2.

[0028] The support member 2 includes a hinge block 22 connected to the storage bin 1 and a connecting rod 21 for the bird to stand on; wherein the hinge block 22 includes two hinge plates 221 and a connecting plate 222, and the connecting plate 222 is arranged between the two hinge plates 221; the two hinge plates 221 are stacked and arranged on both sides of the storage bin 1, and connected to the hinge holes on the side of the storage bin 1; the connecting plate 222 is located on the upper part of the hinge plate 221, and the connecting plate 222 is located near the storage bin 1; the connecting rod 21 is located between the two hinge plates 221. A card bent to the side is also provided on the hinge plate 221, and a plurality of card slots 223 are provided on the card; in this example, the opening of the card slot 223 is tilted downward to ensure that the torsion spring 3 is not easy to fall out of the card slot 223 when the support member 2 rotates downward.

[0029] The torsion spring 3 is close to one end of the support member 2, passes through the slot 223 on the support member 2 and extends outward to a set length. A pressing portion 31 for easy pressing is also provided at the end thereof. In this example, the pressing portion 31 is a circular bending circle, which is convenient for pressing the bending circle portion to control the torsion spring 3 to be adjusted in different slots 223.

[0030] In this example, the support member 2 is located on the side of the storage bin 1 close to the bottom; the bottom of the storage bin 1 is provided with a feeding portion 11 extending toward the support member 2; the upper surface of the feeding portion 11 is provided with a plurality of circular holes 12 for feeding, wherein the circular holes 12 correspond to the connecting plate 222, so that when the connecting plate 222 rotates with the support member 2, the connecting plate 222 forms a barrier to the circular holes 12.

[0031] The upper part of the storage bin 1 is also provided with a hinged lid 4; one end of the lid 4 is hinged to the storage bin 1, and the other end of the lid 4 is engaged with the storage bin 1. A toggle 41 is provided at the portion where the lid 4 is engaged with the storage bin 1; a "door"-shaped rod 13 corresponding to the toggle 41 is provided on the side of the storage bin 1; a protrusion corresponding to the "door"-shaped rod 13 is provided on the side of the toggle 41; by toggling the toggle 41, the protrusion on the toggle 41 is separated from the "door"-shaped rod 13, and then the lid 4 can be opened; conversely, when the lid 4 is removed, the protrusion on the toggle 41 is engaged with the "door"-shaped rod 13 to achieve closure.

[0032] Two supporting members 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the storage bin 1, so that food can be delivered in both directions of the storage bin 1, thereby reducing competition among birds.

[0033] The side of the storage bin 1 is also provided with a transparent side panel 14, which is convenient for observing the food in the storage bin 1. A hanging piece 15 is also provided above the storage bin 1 for convenient hanging.

[0034] During the implementation process, a plurality of slots 223 are provided on the support member 2 to facilitate adjustment of the torsion force of the torsion spring 3; the torsion spring 3 is provided to pass through the support member 2 and a bending ring is provided at the end to facilitate adjustment of the torsion spring 3; the opening of the slot 223 is provided to be tilted downward to reduce the possibility of the torsion spring 3 escaping from the slot 223; and the lid 4 is provided with a pull button 41 in cooperation with the "door"-shaped rod 13 on the storage bin 1, so that the lid 4 can be switched between the flip-open state and the snap-closed state.

[0035] The above description is only a specific example of the utility model and does not constitute any limitation to the utility model. Obviously, for professionals in this field, after understanding the content and principle of the utility model, it is possible to make various modifications and changes in form and details without departing from the principle and structure of the utility model, but these modifications and changes based on the idea of ​​the utility model are still within the scope of protection of the claims of the utility model.
