Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of animal feeding utensils, and particularly to a bird feeder with a moisture-proof function. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing development of cities, the space available for birds to forage and inhabit is getting less and less. Especially in some big cities, it is rare to see birds. Therefore, for ecological development, it is necessary to feed birds artificially so that they can survive in the city, and generally, a bird feeder is used for feeding.

[0003] Existing bird feeders require frequent manual replenishment of feed, which increases the labor intensity of the staff, and it is inevitable to disturb the birds that are eating when replenishing the feed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve or partially solve the problems existing in the related art, this application provides a bird feeder with a moisture-proof function, aiming to reduce the frequency of feed replenishment, so as to reduce the labor intensity of the staff and the disturbance to the birds.

[0005] For this purpose, this application provides a bird feeder with a moisture-proof function, including a housing, a feeding guide plate, a feeding slider, a lever, and a perching rod;

[0006] A bird food storage cavity is constructed inside the housing. An outlet is provided at the bottom of the bird food storage cavity. A feeding guide plate inclined towards the front side of the housing is provided below the outlet. A slideway extending vertically downward is provided in the middle of the feeding guide plate. A baffle is provided on one side of the slideway close to the front side of the housing.

[0007] A feeding port is provided on the front side of the housing above the feeding guide plate;

[0008] A vertically movable feeding slider is provided in the slideway. A lever is hinged below the feeding guide plate. One end of the lever extends out of the housing and is provided with a perching rod, and the other end is hinged to one end of a connecting rod, and the other end of the connecting rod is hinged to the feeding slider.

[0009] In some solutions, taking the hinge point of the lever as the demarcation point, the sum of the masses of the right half of the lever and the perching rod is equal to the sum of the masses of the left half of the lever, the connecting rod, and the feeding slider.

[0010] In some solutions, the inclination angle of the feeding guide plate is 35 degrees to 55 degrees.

[0011] In some solutions, a moisture absorption hole is provided at one end of the feeding guide plate close to the outlet, and a moisture absorbent is provided below the moisture absorption hole.

[0012] In some solutions, a drainage hole is provided at one end of the material guiding plate close to the feeding port, and a drainage plate is provided below the drainage hole. The drainage plate and the material guiding plate form a drainage channel, and the drainage channel communicates with the outside.

[0013] In some solutions, a feeding cover is movably installed at the top of the housing, and anti-slip stripes are provided on the side surface of the feeding cover.

[0014] The technical solutions provided by this application may include the following beneficial effects:

[0015] When using the feeder of this application to feed birds outdoors, only a large amount of feed needs to be put in at one time. Every time a small bird perches on the perching rod, a part of the feed can automatically slide down to the feeding trough for the small bird to peck at, effectively reducing the number of times the staff put in the feed, thereby reducing their work intensity and also reducing the disturbance of the staff to the small birds.

[0026] For more convenient feeding of outdoor birds, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , this application provides a bird feeder with a moisture-proof function, including a housing 1, a feeding guide plate 2, a feeding slider 3, a lever 4, and a perching rod 5; the housing 1 is in a box-like structure and is made of materials such as wood and plastic.

[0027] A bird feed storage chamber 101 is constructed in the shell 1, and the bird feed storage chamber 101 is located at the inner top of the shell 1. The bottom of the bird feed storage chamber 101 is funnel-shaped and is provided with a discharge port 102. The discharge port 102 is arranged near the rear side of the shell 1, and a guide plate 2 inclined toward the front side of the shell 1 is arranged below the discharge port 102. A slide 201 extending downward in a vertical direction is arranged in the middle of the guide plate 2, and a baffle 6 is arranged on one side of the slide 201 close to the front side of the shell 1; a feeding port 103 located above the guide plate 2 is arranged on the front side of the shell 1, that is, there is a section of the side wall of the shell between the guide plate 2 and the feeding port 103, thereby forming a feeding trough between the guide plate 2 and the shell. A feeding slider 3 that can move up and down is provided in the slide 201, a lever 4 is hinged below the guide plate 2, one end of the lever 4 extends outward from the shell 1 and is provided with a perch rod 5, the other end of which is hinged to one end of a connecting rod 7, and the other end of the connecting rod 7 is hinged to the feeding slider 3.

[0028] In the initial state, the top surface of the feeding slider 3 is flush with the top surface of the guide plate 2. The feed is manually stored in a large amount in the bird feed storage chamber 101 at one time. Then the feed falls onto the guide plate 2 through the discharge port 102 and slides to the right along the guide plate 2 until it is blocked by the baffle 6. Furthermore, the height of the top surface of the baffle 6 is basically flush with the height of the lower end of the discharge port to prevent the feed sliding along the guide plate 2 from flipping over the baffle 6.

[0029] When the birds eat, they fly to the perching pole 5 and rest, and the right end of the lever 4 is pressed down to push the feeding slider 3 upward, so that the feed is lifted upward and flips over the baffle 6, and then falls into the feeding trough, so that the birds on the perching pole 5 can peck at it. Furthermore, the top surface of the feeding slider 3 is also inclined, and after the feed is lifted, it can slide along the top surface of the feeding slider 3 into the feeding trough, thereby ensuring that all the feed can be put into the feeding trough.

[0030] When feeding outdoor birds with the feeder of the present application, a large amount of feed only needs to be put in at one time. Each time the bird rests on the perch 5, part of the feed can automatically slide down to the feeding trough for the bird to peck at, effectively reducing the number of times the staff puts in the feed, thereby reducing their work intensity and also reducing the disturbance of the staff to the birds. Moreover, the present application separates the feeding area (feeding trough) and the feed storage area (storage bin) through the baffle 6, effectively preventing rainwater from entering the feeding trough on rainy days, thereby causing the feed in the feeding trough to be soaked.

[0031] In some specific embodiments, a moisture-proof plate 8 is further provided above the feeding trough to effectively prevent rainwater from flying into the left side of the baffle 6 on rainy days, thereby avoiding the risk of the feed in the storage bin getting wet.

[0032] In some specific embodiments, taking the hinge point of the lever 4 as the demarcation point, the sum of the masses of the right half of the lever 4 and the perching rod 5 is equal to the sum of the masses of the left half of the lever 4, the connecting rod 7, and the feeding slider 3, so as to ensure that after a bird stands on the perching rod 5, the lever 4 can be pressed down, thereby allowing the food to slide into the feeding trough.

[0033] In some specific embodiments, the inclination angle of the material guiding plate 2 is 35 degrees, 40 degrees, 45 degrees, 50 degrees, 55 degrees, or any angle between 35 and 55 degrees, effectively ensuring that the feed can slide along the material guiding plate 2.

[0034] In some specific embodiments, a moisture absorption hole 202 is provided at one end of the material guiding plate 2 close to the discharge port 102, and a moisture absorbent 9 is provided below the moisture absorption hole 202. When the moisture in the air is relatively heavy, the moisture in the area where the storage cavity is located is absorbed by the moisture absorbent 9, thereby ensuring the dryness of the feed in the storage bin.

[0035] In some specific embodiments, a drain hole 203 is provided at one end of the material guiding plate 2 close to the feeding port 103, a drain plate 10 is provided below the drain hole 203, and the drain plate 10 and the material guiding plate 2 form a drainage channel 1001. The drainage channel 1001 communicates with the outside. In rainy weather, when rainwater flies into the feeding trough, the water will flow out from the drain port and be discharged from the housing 1 through the drainage channel 1001, thus solving the technical problem of water accumulation in the feeding trough.

[0036] In some specific embodiments, a feeding cover 11 is movably installed on the top of the housing 1. By opening the feeding cover 11, it is convenient to add feed into the storage cavity. Anti-slip stripes 111 are provided on the side of the feeding cover 11 to facilitate the staff to lift the feeding cover 11.

[0037] The embodiments of the present application have been described above. The above description is exemplary and not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art in the technical field without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The choice of terms used herein is intended to best explain the principles of the embodiments, practical applications, or improvements to the technologies in the market, or to enable other ordinary skill in the art in the technical field to understand the disclosed embodiments.
