Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model discloses a feeding device, in particular to a solar bird feeder with night luminous effect. Background Art

[0002] A bird feeder is a container placed outdoors that holds food for birds to eat. Because different birds have different preferences for food, whether a bird feeder can attract birds depends mainly on its location and food. Generally speaking, the food placed on bird feeders for birds to eat includes sunflower seeds, grains, safflower, black sesame, etc.

[0003] Existing bird feeders generally cannot prompt keepers to add feed to the bird feeders to ensure that the birds have enough food to eat. Generally, keepers need to observe the remaining feed in the bird feeders at regular intervals and at fixed locations to add feed. Especially in the mountains at night, it is easy to find the location of the bird feeder if it is placed in the forest without outdoor light. Moreover, most of the raised birds do not have night vision ability and are easy to find the bird feeder at night and cannot eat the feed. Utility Model Content

[0009] When the weight of the feed in the feed chamber is less than the tensile force of the tension spring, the movable column contacts the piezoelectric ceramic ring, and the piezoelectric induction switch outputs a potential difference to the control circuit, which cuts off the indicator light switch and keeps the warning light on.

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. In the description of the utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside" and the like indicate directions or positional relationships based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, which are only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] A solar bird feeder with night-time luminous effect, such as Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, it includes a main body and a top cover 5 above the main body, a feed chamber for storing feed is provided in the main body, a plurality of feeding ports 4 connected to the feed chamber are opened at the upper end of the main body located below the top cover 5, a plurality of indicator lights 3 are provided near the feeding ports 4 of the main body, a plurality of warning lights 2 are provided on the top cover 5, a light changing assembly for switching the indicator lights 3 and the warning lights 2 on and off according to the weight of the feed in the feed chamber is provided in the main body, the main body includes a detachable end cover 6 and a feed basin 7, the feed chamber is located in the space where the end cover 6 and the feed basin 7 are tightly closed, and the feed can be poured into the feed chamber through the feeding port 4.

[0023] An opening is passed through the upper end of the end cover 6, a connecting column 10 which can be extended into the opening is provided at the lower end of the top cover 5, and the top cover 5 is fixedly connected to the end cover 6, a material basin 7 is provided with a movable column 9 which can be extended into the opening, and the light changing assembly includes a piezoelectric ceramic ring arranged in the opening and a tension spring 8 which is respectively connected to the connecting column 10 and the movable column 9 at both ends, the movable column 9 can move along the opening to contact the piezoelectric ceramic ring, and the piezoelectric ceramic ring can switch the indicator light 3 and the warning light 2 on and off through the control circuit.

[0024] The control circuit is equipped with a piezoelectric induction switch. The piezoelectric induction switch composed of a piezoelectric ceramic ring and an electrode can output a potential difference signal to the control circuit. When external pressure or stress is applied to the piezoelectric ceramic ring, the piezoelectric ceramic ring will deform, resulting in charge separation and a potential difference. This potential difference can be received by the electrode and transmitted to the control circuit for processing. The control circuit will determine whether the pressure reaches the trigger threshold of the switch based on the potential difference signal generated by the received piezoelectric induction switch.

[0025] In the circuit of the indicator light 3 and the warning light 2, the indicator light 3 and the warning light 2 are connected in parallel and the passage to the power supply is controlled by a single-pole double-throw switch. The mechanism of the control circuit triggering the indicator light 3 and the warning light 2 to switch on and off is as follows:

[0026] When the weight of the feed in the feed chamber is greater than the tensile force of the tension spring 8, that is, the weight of the feed in the feed chamber is greater than the preset weight, it means that the amount of feed in the feed chamber is sufficient and no feed needs to be added. At this time, the movable column 9 does not contact the piezoelectric ceramic ring, and the piezoelectric induction switch does not output a potential difference to the control circuit. The single-pole double-throw switch keeps the circuit of the indicator light 3 connected, and the control circuit keeps the indicator light 3 on.

[0027] When the weight of feed in the feed chamber is less than the tensile force of the tension spring 8, the movable column 9 contacts the piezoelectric ceramic ring, and the piezoelectric induction switch outputs a potential difference to the control circuit. When the preset trigger threshold is reached, the single-pole double-throw switch switches to disconnect the circuit of the cut-off indicator light 3 and connect the circuit of the warning light 2. The control circuit keeps the warning light 2 on.

[0028] The end cover 6 is provided with a plurality of slots 12 near the joint with the material basin 7, and the material basin 7 is slidably connected with a plurality of movable blocks 11 that can extend into the slots 12 at the positions corresponding to the slots 12. The cooperation between the movable blocks 11 and the slots 12 makes it difficult for the material basin 7 to shake and deform, and can keep it able to move up and down smoothly along the opening, and can prevent the material basin 7 from falling off after the tension spring 8 is damaged and broken.

[0029] When the indicator light 3 is on, the birds raised outdoors can observe the position of the bird feeder and the feeding port 4 at night and thus eat. When the warning light 2 is on, the breeder can judge from a distance based on the warning light 2 that the feed in the bird feeder is insufficient and add feed in time.

[0030] In addition, a solar panel 1 is arranged above the top cover 5, and a battery is also arranged at the lower end of the top cover 5. The battery can power the indicator light 3 and the warning light 2. During the day, the solar panel 1 can convert the received sunlight into electrical energy and store it in the battery for powering lighting at night.

[0031] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive from any point of view, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the present invention.
