[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Please refer to 1-3, this embodiment provides an ant-proof bird feeder, including a bird feeder body 1, the upper end of the bird feeder body 1 is a mounting portion, such as Figure 1 As shown, the mounting portion is a rectangular hanging opening, on which a mounting frame 2 is arranged. Figure 1 The mounting frame 2 is a cavity structure with an opening at the top, preferably a bowl-shaped structure, and a conical cylinder structure protruding upward is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom of the cavity of the mounting frame 2. The bottom opening of the conical cylinder is large and the top opening is small. The bottom of the conical cylinder structure is an opening, and the opening is connected to the outside of the bottom of the mounting frame 2, that is, the center of the bottom of the outside of the mounting frame 2 is a conical cylinder structure with an opening upward, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 shown.

[0027] A hook 3 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the conical tube, and the hook 3 is located above the mounting frame 2, and another hook 3 is fixedly installed in the bottom opening of the conical tube, and the hook 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner cavity of the conical tube, and is located below the mounting frame 2. The hook 3 is hooked together with the hanging opening of the bird feeder body 1, and the upper hook 3 is used to hang on a tree branch or a corresponding support bar, so as to realize the hanging installation of the bird feeder body 1.

[0028] The inside of the mounting frame 2 is used to place liquid such as water or lime water, the liquid submerges the conical tube, and the bottom of the upper hook 3 is located in the liquid, and the liquid separates the upper hook 3 from the mounting frame 2. When ants crawl along the upper hook 3 to the bottom thereof, the ants will not crawl to the mounting frame 2 due to the barrier effect of the liquid of the mounting frame 2, thereby blocking the ants on the upper hook 3 and preventing the ants from crawling to the bird feeder body 1, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing ants.

[0029] Since bird feeders are mostly set up outdoors, in order to be able to observe the eating or drinking of birds, a camera is installed on the bird feeder to observe the eating or drinking of birds at any time. However, it is inconvenient to use electricity outdoors, so bird feeders are mostly powered by solar energy. Solar charging is a prior art and will not be described in detail here. When using solar power, the solar power wire needs to be connected to the camera, which may cause ants to climb onto the bird feeder body 1 along the wire. Therefore, in this embodiment, in order to avoid this situation, a cylindrical threading post 5 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the mounting frame 2. The height of the threading post 5 is greater than the inner cavity height of the mounting frame 2. Figure 1-7 As shown, when the interior of the mounting frame 2 is filled with water, the water will submerge the middle and lower part of the threading column 5. The threading column 5 is a structure with two ends open. The interior of the threading column 5 is a threading hole 6. When the camera is powered, the wire passes through the threading hole 6 and is connected to the camera to charge the camera. A soft plug 4 made of silicone or rubber is plugged at the upper opening of the threading column 5. The soft plug 4 is provided with a wire hole, and the wire can pass through the wire hole. There is no gap between the soft plug 4 and the wire and the side wall of the threading column 5, and the wire will be in close contact. The soft plug 4 and the threading column 5 form a threading part. When ants crawl along the wire, the soft plug 4 blocks the top opening of the threading column 5, so the ants will not crawl along the wire to the bird feeder body 1, thereby avoiding the problem of ants crawling along the wire to the bird feeder body 1.

[0030] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate placing the wire in the installation hole, a slit is provided on the soft plug 4 and communicates with the wire hole, so that the soft plug 4 can be opened. When the slit is opened, the wire can be inserted into the wire hole through the slit, and then the soft plug 4 is inserted into the top opening of the threading post 5 to complete the installation of the soft plug 4.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] The difference from Example 1 is that:

[0033] like Figure 4-7 As shown, the mounting frame 2 is located at the bottom of the bird feeder body 1. This embodiment is not directed to a hanging structure, but to fixing the bird feeder body 1 on the top of a vertical rod. Figure 4-5As shown, the mounting frame 2 is still a bowl-shaped structure, and a mounting ring 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom center of the mounting frame 2. The mounting ring 8 is a cylindrical structure, and the top of the vertical rod can be directly inserted into the mounting ring 8. A threaded hole is also provided on the mounting ring 8, and the mounting ring 8 can be fixed to the vertical rod by bolts; a bearing column 7 is fixedly installed at the center of the inner cavity of the mounting frame 2, and the bearing column 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bird feeder body 1. The height of the bearing column 7 is greater than the inner cavity of the mounting frame 2, and the bearing column 7 can extend from the inside of the mounting frame 2; when the bearing column 7 is connected to the bird feeder body 1, there is enough distance between the bird feeder body 1 and the mounting frame 2 to prevent ants from crawling directly from the outside of the mounting frame 2 to the bird feeder body 1. Similarly, liquids such as water are placed inside the mounting frame 2, and the water surrounds the middle and lower part of the bearing column 7, and separates the bearing column 7 from the outer edge of the mounting frame 2, so as to prevent ants from crawling from the mounting frame 2 to the bearing column 7, and further prevent ants from crawling to the bird feeder body 1, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing ants from the bird feeder.

[0034] In this embodiment, since the wires are generally long, in order to prevent the wires from being too long and coming into contact with the mounting frame 2, so as to prevent ants from crawling from the wires through the mounting frame 2 to the bird feeder body 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a support sheet 9 is fixedly mounted on one side of the threading column 5. The height of the support sheet 9 is greater than the depth of the mounting frame 2. When the mounting frame 2 is filled with water, the middle and lower parts of the support sheet 9 are still submerged in water. A bayonet is provided at the upper end of the support sheet 9. When the wire passes through the threading column 5, if the wire is relatively long, the wire can be stuck in the bayonet and submerged in water to prevent the wire from directly contacting the housing of the mounting frame 2. In addition, since the outer side of the wire is wrapped with polyvinyl chloride plastic as a protective layer of the wire, there will be no leakage.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
