[0031] In order to solve the defect that the bird watcher in the prior art has poor air tightness, which causes the contained liquid to easily leak out from various parts of the feeder, a bird watcher with good air tightness is provided.

[0032] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, a more comprehensive description of the present invention will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings illustrate exemplary embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.

The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the relevant listed items.

[0036] See also Figure 1 The birdwatcher 1 of the present invention includes a hook 11, an upper cover 12, a column 14, a camera unit 15, a base cover 16, a base 17, and a bracket 19. The hook 11 is mounted on the upper cover 12, which is detachably connected to the column 14. The base 17 is detachably connected to the lower portion of the column 14. The upper end of the base 17 is detachably covered with the base cover 16, and the lower portion is detachably connected to the bracket 19. The camera unit 15 is detachably inserted into the column 14.

[0037] See also Figure 2 The upper end of the upper cover 12 is provided with a first anti-ant device 121. This first anti-ant device 121 is a connected groove, generally arranged in a ring shape. When in use, this groove can store liquids such as water or insect repellent. When ants and other insects climb onto the upper cover 12 along the hook 11, they are blocked by the liquid in the first anti-ant device 121, preventing them from climbing onto the base cover 16 to absorb nectar and other liquids. The upper cover 12 is also provided with a rain shelter 123. The rain shelter 123 reduces the impact of rain on the camera unit 15, preventing water stains on the camera lens and preventing rain from wetting and damaging the camera unit 15.

[0038] See also Figure 3-Figure 5 The sealing cover 13 is provided with multiple sealing ring grooves 131, which accommodate the sealing rings 10. In this embodiment, there are three sealing ring grooves 131, corresponding to the three sealing rings 10. In the bird watcher 1, since the top end is not immersed in liquid, the airtightness requirements at the top end are more stringent than those at the bottom end. Having three sealing ring grooves 131 ensures good airtightness at the top end of the bird watcher 1, preventing problems such as poor airtightness caused by damaged or loosely installed sealing rings 10.

[0039] The prior art generally has one sealing ring. When the sealing cover is closed, it covers the column. The cooperation between the sealing ring and the inner wall of the column achieves a sealing effect on the upper layer. It has a certain airtightness, but the effect is relatively general. Due to the inability to close tightly or the easy movement of the sealing cover, it often has poor airtightness, causing the contained liquid to leak. To address this problem, the present invention sets a method for the upper cover 12 to engage with the column 14, so that the sealing cover 13 cannot move. Specifically, a first fastening structure 122 is set inside the upper cover 12, and a second fastening structure 141 is set at the upper end of the column 14. The first fastening structure 122 can cooperate with the second fastening structure 141 to lock the sealing cover 13 in the space between the upper cover 12 and the column 14. The first fastening structure 122 can be one or more polygonal mounting blocks, including an insertion end 1221, an upper engaging portion 1222, a stopper 1223, and a lower engaging portion 1224. The insertion end 1221, the upper engaging portion 1222, the stopper 1223, and the lower engaging portion 1224 are integrally formed. The insertion end 1221 connects the upper engaging portion 1222 and the lower engaging portion 1224. The insertion end 1221 is disposed at a first end of the polygonal mounting block, and the stopper 1223 is disposed at a second end of the polygonal mounting block. The axial cross-sectional length of the insertion end 1221 along the birdwatcher 1 is less than the distance from the upper end of the upper engaging portion 1222 to the lower end of the lower engaging portion 1224, and is also less than the width of the mounting slot 1413 formed in the second fastening structure 141. The column 14 includes an upper engaging portion 1411 and a lower engaging portion 1412, with the mounting slot 1413 formed therebetween. The distance between the upper end of the upper engaging portion 1222 and the lower end of the lower engaging portion 1224 is adapted to the width of the mounting groove 1413. A reserved space is provided between the upper engaging portion 1222 and the lower engaging portion 1224 to allow slight deformation of the first fastening structure 122 when pressed by the second fastening structure 141, thereby preventing excessive pressure on the second fastening structure 141, which could damage it or reduce its service life. When installing the upper portion of the birdwatcher 1, the end of the sealing cover 13 with the sealing ring 10 is first inserted into the upper end of the column 14. The upper cover 12 is then inserted into the sealing cover 13. The first fastening structure 122 of the upper cover 12 and the second fastening structure 141 of the column are engaged and fastened. The insertion end 1221 is inserted into the mounting groove 1413. The upper cover 12 is then rotated so that the upper engaging portion 1411 contacts the upper engaging portion 1222 via the inclined surface of the insertion end 1221, thereby securing the upper cover 12 and the column 14. When the stopper 1223 contacts the upper engaging portion 1411, further rotation is impossible, and the upper cover 12 is engaged with the column 14. Once engaged, the lower end of the first anti-ant device 121 contacts the upper end of the sealing cover 13, and the downward pressure of the upper cover 12 on the sealing cover 13 is non-zero.The downward pressure exerted by the upper cover 12 on the sealing cover 13 can tighten the sealing cover 13, causing the retaining structure of the sealing cover 13 to abut against the column 14. This allows the outer wall of the sealing ring 10 mounted on the sealing cover 13 to fully contact the inner wall of the column 14, thereby enhancing the sealing degree and improving the airtightness, thereby preventing leakage of the contained liquid. Indicator arrows are marked on the upper cover 12 and the column 14 to facilitate the user's alignment of the arrows. When the arrows are aligned, the base insertion end 1221 of the first fastening structure 122 is aligned with the installation groove 1413. At this time, the column 14 or the upper cover 12 can be rotated to complete the installation.

[0040] See also Figure 6-Figure 8 The upper end of the column 14 is open, and its interior is hollow. A columnar liquid reservoir 142 is provided to hold liquid. The columnar liquid reservoir 142 is connected to the base 17 from top to bottom. A mounting space 146 for accommodating the camera unit 15 is defined in the middle of the column 14. The camera unit 15 comprises a camera device 151, a housing mechanism 152, a locking mechanism 153, a latch 154, a rotating shaft 155, and a circuit channel 156. The camera device 151 is mounted in the housing mechanism 152, which is movably connected to the locking mechanism 153 via a rotating shaft 155. The locking mechanism 153 is removably mounted in the mounting space 146 of the column 14.

[0041] The conventional camera unit is attached to the column via a latch at the top. Removing the camera unit requires two hands working together. One hand presses the latch, while the other pushes the camera unit from the front to the back. However, this approach has several drawbacks. First, removal is inconvenient. Second, pushing the camera unit from the front inevitably touches the lens, contaminating it and requiring cleaning. Furthermore, the power port of a camera device is often located at the rear end of the unit, increasing the risk of damage from rain. The present invention's latching mechanism 153 is equipped with two latches 154 and a wiring channel 156. The latches 154 are located on either side of the latching mechanism 153 and engage with the column latch 144 to secure the mechanism 153. The line connecting the two latches 154 and the wiring channel 156 forms a triangle, preferably an isosceles triangle. The wiring channel 156 can accommodate at least an adult's finger. Preferably, the opening of the wiring channel 156 has a vertical height of at least 1.4 cm and a horizontal length of at least 1.6 cm. This design can accommodate the fingers of most people, making it easier to disassemble and assemble the camera unit 15. At the same time, the power cord enters the installation space 146 from the line channel 156, reducing the chance of getting wet by rain, and protecting the camera unit 15 to a certain extent. When disassembling the camera unit 15, you can insert your index finger into the line channel 156, and pinch the two ends of the buckle 154 with your thumb and another finger. By exerting force with three fingers together, you can easily and stably remove the camera unit 15. This is convenient for one-handed operation, and the force exerted by three fingers can also make the removal process more stable, while also avoiding the possibility of contamination caused by the fingers touching the lens. During installation, you only need to align the locking mechanism 153 with the installation space 146, push the locking mechanism 153 in, and the two buckles 154 will engage with the two column buckles 144 to complete the installation. In order to allow the power line to stick to the locking mechanism 153 without hindering the insertion and removal operations of fingers, a line fixing device 157 for fixing the power line can be provided on the locking mechanism 153. The line fixing device 157 can clamp the power line so as not to affect the removal operation. At the same time, the fingers will not be hindered or blocked when inserting into the line channel 156 for operation, causing discomfort.

[0042] See also Figures 8-12 The lower end of the column 14 is provided with a column sealing ring groove 145. There is at least one column sealing ring groove 145, and preferably two. The sealing ring 10 is correspondingly mounted in the column sealing ring groove 145. The lower end of the column 14 is provided with a third fastening structure 143, and the base 17 is provided with a fourth fastening structure 171. The third fastening structure 143 cooperates with the fourth fastening structure 171 to complete the installation and fastening of the bottom.

[0043] The fourth fastening structure 171 can be one or more polygonal mounting blocks, including a base insertion end 1711, an upper base engaging portion 1712, and a lower base engaging portion 1714. The base insertion end 1711, the upper base engaging portion 1712, and the lower base engaging portion 1714 are integrally formed. The base insertion end 1711 connects the upper base engaging portion 1712 and the lower base engaging portion 1714. The base insertion end 1711 is disposed at one end of the polygonal mounting block. The axial cross-sectional length of the base insertion end 1711 along the bird watcher 1 is less than the distance from the upper end of the upper base engaging portion 1712 to the lower end of the lower base engaging portion 1714, and is also less than the width of the base mounting slot 1433 formed by the third fastening structure 143. The column 14 includes an upper base engaging portion 1431 and a lower base engaging portion 1432, with the base mounting slot 1433 formed therebetween. The distance between the upper end of the base's upper engaging portion 1712 and the lower end of the base's lower engaging portion 1714 matches the width of the base's mounting slot 1433. A gap is left between the upper and lower engaging portions 1712, 1714, allowing slight deformation of the fourth fastening structure 171 when pressed by the third fastening structure 143. This prevents excessive pressure on the third fastening structure 143, which could damage it or reduce its service life. To install the lower portion of the birdwatcher 1, the column 14 is inserted into the base 17. The third fastening structure 143 engages with the fourth fastening structure 171. The base's insertion end 1711 is inserted into the base's mounting slot 1433 from its first end. The column 14 is then rotated, allowing the upper engaging portion 1431 to contact the upper engaging portion 1712, securing the column 14 and base 17. A beveled surface can be provided on the lower engaging portion 1432 to facilitate smooth assembly. When the base insertion end 1711 is rotated to the point where it contacts the second end of the mounting groove 1433, the rotation cannot continue, and the engagement of the column 14 and the base 17 is completed. After the engagement is completed, the column 14 generates pressure on the base 17 that is independent of gravity. Through the pressure of the column 14 on the base 17, the outer wall of the sealing ring 10 mounted on the column 14 can be fully in contact with the inner wall of the base 17, thereby increasing the degree of sealing, improving the airtightness, and preventing leakage of the contained liquid. Indicator arrows are marked on the base cover 16 and the column 14 to facilitate the user to align the arrows. When the arrows are aligned, the base insertion end 1711 of the fourth fastening structure 171 is facing the base mounting groove 1433. At this time, the installation can be completed by rotating the column 14 or the base 17.

[0044] The base 17 is provided with a base liquid outlet 174, a base seal 176, and a base liquid reservoir 173. The base liquid outlet 174 connects the base liquid reservoir 173 and the column liquid reservoir 142. Liquid contained in the column liquid reservoir 142 enters the base liquid reservoir 173 through the base liquid outlet 174. The base seal 176 is made of a soft waterproof material and is shaped to fit the base liquid reservoir 173. Its size is slightly larger than the base liquid reservoir 173 to ensure an interference fit with the base liquid reservoir 173. During use, the base seal 176 is placed in the base liquid reservoir 173, and the contained liquid enters the base liquid reservoir 173 through the base liquid outlet 174, filling the base seal 176 and applying outward pressure to the base seal 176, forcing the outer wall of the base seal 176 against the inner wall of the base liquid reservoir 173, thereby achieving a better waterproof effect. This prevents liquid from flowing into the left, right, and rear spaces of the base 17.

[0045] The base 17 is fastened with a base cover 16, which is provided with a feeding port 161, a stand 162, and a flower-shaped feeder 163. The stand 162 includes a stand mounting hole 1621, a perch 1622, and a stand connecting portion 1623. The perch 1622 is connected to the stand mounting hole 1621 via the stand connecting portion 1623. The lower end of the flower-shaped feeder 163 passes through the stand mounting hole 1621 and is inserted into the feeding port 161, and is connected to the base liquid reservoir 173 through the base seal 176. Hummingbirds can suck nectar from the base liquid reservoir 173 by inserting their mouths into the flower-shaped feeder 163. The distance between the perch 1622 of the stand 162 and the stand mounting hole 1621 is 1-5 cm, preferably 2-4 cm. This arrangement allows the perch 1622 to be at an appropriate distance from the feeding port 161, allowing the hummingbird to just inhale the nectar when standing on the perch 1622. At this point, the camera 151 can be used to capture a still, clearer image of the hummingbird.

[0046] The lower end of the base 17 is provided with a base external connection groove 177 for an external fixing device. In order to facilitate adaptation, the base external connection groove is provided with a variety of different interfaces, such as a cylindrical mounting interface, a plate-shaped screw fixing mounting interface, etc. In the present utility model, we use a cylindrical mounting interface to externally connect the connector 18. The connector 18 may include a connector snap-fit mechanism 182 and a second anti-ant device 181. The connector snap-fit mechanism 182 may be provided at either end or both ends of the connector 18 to play a fixing role. The second anti-ant device 181 is provided in the middle of the connector 18 and may be provided as an annular water tank, which is filled with water or insect repellent liquid when in use to prevent ants and other insects from climbing onto the base 17 through the connector 18.

[0047] One end of connector 18 is connected to base 17, and the other end is connected to bracket 19. Bracket 19 includes a transverse bracket body 198 and a vertical bracket body 199. Transverse bracket body 198 and vertical bracket body 199 can be movably connected, fixedly connected, or designed as a single piece. During normal use, transverse bracket body 198 and vertical bracket body 199 are perpendicular to each other. Transverse bracket body 198 is provided with a bracket external connection slot 191, which can be connected to base 17 via connector 18. A bracket locking mechanism 192 can be provided within bracket external connection slot 191. Bracket locking mechanism 192 can interlock with connector locking mechanism 182 of connector 18, thereby ensuring a more secure installation of birdwatcher 1. Transverse bracket body 198 can also be provided with a universal mounting hole 193 to facilitate adaptation to other types of bird feeders.

[0048] In the prior art, when power is needed for the camera, it is often provided through a power cord, with one end of the power cord connected to the camera and the other end connected to a solar power supply device or a socket. Ants or squirrels can easily climb onto the feeding device through the power cord. In the present utility model, a third anti-ant device 194 is also provided on the transverse bracket body 198. The third anti-ant device 194 is provided around the bracket through-hole 196 and can hold water or insect repellent liquid. The bracket through-hole 196 connects the upper and lower ends of the transverse bracket body 198. A protective plug 195 is installed in the bracket through-hole 196. The protective plug 195 is a soft plug. A wire through-hole 1951 is provided on the protective plug 195, which allows the wire to pass through one end of the protective plug 195 and out of the other end. The protective plug 195 can play a dual role in preventing small insects such as ants and squirrels. When the main purpose is to prevent small insects such as ants, the power cord is passed through the wire through hole 1951 from top to bottom after being connected to the power supply, and then the other end is connected to the camera device 151. In this way, when small insects such as ants crawl along the wire to the protective plug 195, they will be blocked by the third anti-ant device 194 and cannot reach the bird watcher 1; when the main purpose is to prevent squirrels, the power cord is passed through the wire through hole 1951 from bottom to top after being connected to the power supply, and then the other end is connected to the camera device 151. In this way, when squirrels crawl along the wire to the protective plug 195, they will be blocked by the bottom of the horizontal bracket body 198 and cannot reach the bird watcher 1.

[0049] Vertical bracket body 199 provides a more stable mounting method. When using vertical bracket body 199 for installation, vertical mounting holes 197 can be aligned with pre-fixed nails or other auxiliary mounting objects to achieve bracket 19 installation. This mounting method allows the entire vertical bracket body 199 to be fastened to the object to be mounted, such as a tree or wall, making the entire birdwatcher 1 more stable and less prone to shaking, thus protecting it from natural conditions such as strong winds. It also ensures clearer images from camera 151. The lower end of bracket 19 is also provided with a mounting interface, which can be docked with a support pole directly erected on the ground, providing more installation options.

[0050] Compared to the prior art, the present invention utilizes a detachable connection between the base 17 and the column 14, allowing the outer wall of the sealing ring 10 to contact the inner wall of the base 17. The pressure exerted by the column 14 on the base 17 is greater than its own weight, further ensuring full contact between the sealing ring 10 and the base 17, providing improved airtightness. The third fastening structure 143 and the fourth fastening structure 171 cooperate to further secure the engagement between the column 14 and the base 17. The design of the base seal 176 and the base liquid reservoir 173 ensures that, after liquid is filled, the outer wall of the base seal 176 abuts against the inner wall of the base liquid reservoir 173, resulting in a more effective waterproofing effect.

[0051] The embodiments of the present invention are described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned specific implementation methods. The above-mentioned specific implementation methods are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Under the guidance of the present invention, ordinary technicians in this field can also make many forms without departing from the scope of protection of the purpose of the present invention and the claims, which are all within the protection of the present invention.
