[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the structure of the bird feeder 1000 includes: the grain bin assembly 1, the food tray assembly 2, the stand assembly 3 and the camera assembly 4. The food tray assembly 2 and the camera assembly 4 can be provided on the grain bin assembly 1. Among them, the food tray assembly 2 is provided at the grain outlet end of the grain bin assembly 1, and receives the bird food output by the grain bin assembly 1. The stand assembly 3 is provided on the food tray assembly 2 for birds to stand. The camera assembly 4 is fixedly or detachably assembled on the grain bin assembly 1, and the shooting direction of the camera assembly 4 faces the food tray assembly 2, and the bird is photographed and collected when the bird appears in the shooting range. Further, the camera assembly 4 can also communicate with external equipment, and send the collected bird image to other equipment for the user to view on other equipment. For example, when the bird appears in the food tray assembly 2 or the stand assembly 3 to eat or nest, the camera assembly 4 shoots and collects the image of the bird in the shooting range according to the preset collection mode, and sends the bird image to the user's bound mobile phone, computer and other equipment through wireless mode for real-time or timing viewing, providing the user with a perfect experience of remote and intelligent bird watching.

[0047] Specifically, the grain bin assembly 1 comprises a bin body 11, the bin body 11 is provided with a grain cavity 111, the grain cavity 111 is provided with a grain inlet and a grain outlet 112, the grain cavity 111 is used for storing bird food, and the grain inlet and the grain outlet 112 are used for the grain cavity 111 to communicate with the outside world, for example, to supplement grain and discharge grain. The food tray assembly 2 is installed at the grain outlet end of the bin body 11. The food tray assembly 2 is provided with a feeding trough 21, and the feeding trough 21 is communicated with the grain cavity 111 through the grain outlet 112. In this way, the lower end of the grain bin assembly 1 is the grain outlet end, and the grain outlet 112 is located at the lower end of the grain bin assembly 1, so that the bird food stored in the grain cavity 111 can be transported to the feeding trough 21 under the action of gravity. The stand assembly 3 is arranged on the food tray assembly 2, so that the birds can stand on the stand assembly 3 to eat or perch. It can be understood that the stand assembly 3 should be provided with a rod structure 31 which is convenient for birds to grasp, so as to improve the biological affinity between the bird feeder and the birds, and adjust the shooting distance between the camera assembly 4 and the birds, so that the camera assembly 4 can collect bird images that meet the predetermined requirements. The camera assembly 4 is assembled on the grain bin assembly 1, so as to collect the images of the birds perching or eating on the bird feeder 1000. Among them, the viewfinder range of the camera assembly 4 can cover at least part of the feeding trough 21, and can also cover the stand assembly 3, so as to ensure the overall monitoring of the birds eating or perching on the bird feeder 1000, and provide sufficient data support for the related behavior action research of the birds. The camera assembly 4 can wirelessly receive and transmit signals to the outside world for communication, so that the images collected by shooting can be periodically or real-time transmitted to the outside world, for example: the collected images can be periodically or real-time transmitted to other terminals outside the bird feeder 1000, such as mobile phones, PADs, computers and other terminals bound with the bird feeder 1000.

[0048] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 , the bottom of the feeding trough 21 is provided with a water leakage hole 211, which is used to drain the water that may accumulate in the feeding trough 21, so as to avoid the bird food in the feeding trough 21 being soaked for a long time and deteriorating, and protect the health of the birds foraging here.

[0049] The materials used by the bird feeder 1000 include but are not limited to wood, plastic, metal, glass and other materials, or a combination of multiple materials. When the material used by the overall structure of the bird feeder 1000 is metal, the structural strength of the bird feeder 1000 can be greatly improved, and excellent performance such as falling resistance and durability can be achieved. However, the metal shell of the bird feeder 1000 will shield the receiving and transmitting signals of the camera assembly 4 inside the bird feeder 1000, affect the data transmission between the camera assembly 4 and the outside world, and greatly reduce the performance and user experience of the bird feeder 1000.

[0050] Therefore, the bird feeder 1000 adopts metal material or metal material combined with non-metal material, which solves the signal shielding problem under the premise of ensuring the structural strength and durability of the bird feeder 1000.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 1 The grain bin assembly 1 comprises a bin body 11, and the bin body 11 is formed with a mounting groove 115 for accommodating the camera assembly 4. The bin body 11 is a metal bin body, that is, the grain bin assembly 1 comprises a metal bin body. The part of the bin body 11 forming the mounting groove 115 is provided with at least one signal window 113 penetrating through the bin body 11 and the mounting groove 115. The signal window 113 can be a large through hole of a required size, or can be composed of a plurality of small through holes, for example, a mesh. Further, the mounting groove 115 is provided in the middle of the front surface of the bin body 11 facing the shooting direction of the camera assembly 4. The food tray assembly 2 also adopts metal material, further ensuring the structural strength of the bird feeder 1000.

[0052] Considering that the antenna of the camera assembly 4 is usually accommodated in the groove bottom of the mounting groove 115, in one mode, the signal window 113 is provided at the position opposite to the groove bottom of the mounting groove 115 on the back plate of the bin body 11, that is, the groove bottom of the mounting groove 115 penetrates through the back plate of the bin body 11 to form the signal window 113.

[0053] Further, the part of the bin body 11 surrounding the circumference of the mounting groove 115 can also be provided with the signal window 113. That is, at least one of the part of the bin body 11 opposite to the groove bottom of the mounting groove 115 and the part of the bin body 11 surrounding the circumference of the mounting groove 115 is provided with the signal window 113.

[0054] In order to further weaken the signal shielding, the front panel or the side panel of the bin body 11 can also be provided with the signal window 113. Among them, under the condition of meeting the stable support of the bin body 11, the size and number of the signal window 113 of the front panel or the side panel can be opened to the maximum extent. That is, the front panel and the side panel of the bin body 11 can be opened into the signal window 113 except for the necessary skeleton support.

[0055] Further, the bin body 11 comprises an inner frame body 116, and the mounting groove 115 is formed by the inner frame body 116. The inner frame body 116 is provided with at least one signal window 113 penetrating through the bin body 11 and the mounting groove 115.

[0056] In one of the modes, the signal window 113 is formed at the position where the back plate of the inner shelf body 116 is opposite to the groove bottom of the mounting groove 115, that is, the groove bottom of the mounting groove 115 penetrates the back plate of the inner shelf body 116 (that is, penetrates the back plate of the bin body 11) to form the signal window 113. Further, the peripheral plate of the inner shelf body 116 can also be provided with a signal window 113. The inner shelf body 116 and the bin body 11 can be integrally connected, or can be connected by splicing or clamping or other ways.

[0057] Further, the grain bin assembly 1 also includes a window baffle 12 of non-metal material, which is light-transmitting or non-light-transmitting, and is arranged on the bin body 11 to shield the signal window 113. The arrangement of the signal window 113 ensures that the signal of the camera assembly 4 can be transmitted to the outside through the signal window 113, and the arrangement of the window baffle 12 ensures that the grain bin is in a closed state and well protects the bird food.

[0058] It can be understood that, in order to ensure that the window baffle 12 does not affect the signal transmission of the camera assembly 4, the material of the window baffle 12 can be glass, plastic, wood board or other non-metal materials.

[0059] Further, the window baffle 12 is made of light-transmitting non-metal material, that is, the grain bin assembly 1 includes a light-transmitting non-metal window baffle 12. In this way, the user can observe the situation in the grain bin through the light-transmitting property of the window baffle 12, so as to supplement or replace the bird food in time.

[0060] The arrangement of the window baffle 12 on the metal bin body 11 includes but is not limited to clamping, gluing, screwing and the like.

[0061] In some preferred embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the window baffle 12 is mounted on the inner wall of the bin body 11. The window baffle 12 is mounted by clamping. The bin body 11 is provided with a fixing member 114, which fixes the window baffle 12 to the signal window 113. The fixing member 114 is arranged around the signal window 113. The number of the fixing member 114 is multiple, and the multiple fixing members 114 are arranged around the signal window 113 at intervals, and the multiple fixing members 114 are used to fix the periphery of the window baffle 12 to the metal bin body 11.

[0062] The fixed part 114 includes a first fixed arm 1141, a bent arm 1142 and a second fixed arm 1143. The first fixed arm 1141 is fixed to the inner wall of the metal bin body 11 in a manner including but not limited to welding, gluing, screwing and the like. In the embodiment, the first fixed arm 1141 is welded to the inner wall of the metal bin body 11. One end of the bent arm 1142 is connected to the first fixed arm 1141, and the other end of the bent arm 1142 is connected to the second fixed arm 1143. The first fixed arm 1141, the bent arm 1142 and the second fixed arm 1143 jointly form a first fixed groove 114a, and the window baffle 12 is inserted into the first fixed groove 114a.

[0063] It can be understood that the structure of the fixed part 114 is not limited to the above, and the fixed part 114 can also adopt an elastic arm. For example, the bent arm 1142 is replaced by an elastic arm, and the distance between the first fixed arm 1141 and the second fixed arm 1143 gradually increases from the groove opening position to the groove bottom direction. When the window baffle 12 is inserted into the first fixed groove 114a, the first fixed arm 1141 and the second fixed arm 1143 jointly clamp the window baffle 12, thereby improving the stability of the fixed part 114 in fixing the window baffle 12.

[0064] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The grain bin assembly 1 further includes a sealing layer 13 arranged between the window baffle 12 and the metal bin body 11 to seal the window baffle 12 and the metal bin body 11. Further, the sealing layer 13 is arranged around the signal window 113, and the sealing layer 13 is bonded to the periphery of the window baffle 12. The sealing layer 13 is arranged to achieve a sealed connection between the window baffle 12 and the metal bin body 11, thereby avoiding the entry of external water vapor, dust and other foreign matters into the grain cavity 111 through the gap between the window baffle 12 and the inner wall of the metal bin body 11.

[0065] It can be understood that when the periphery of the window baffle 12 is fixed to the metal bin body 11 by using multiple fixed parts 114, there is a gap between the window baffle 12 and the inner wall of the metal bin body 11 due to the thickness of the first fixed arm 1141 of the fixed part 114. External water vapor, dust and other foreign matters can enter the interior of the grain cavity 111 through the gap. The fixed part 114 can be combined with the sealing layer 13 to achieve the fixation of the window baffle 12 and the metal bin body 11.

[0066] In some embodiments, the number of signal windows 113 and window baffles 12 is multiple. One window baffle 12 can shield one signal window 113, or one window baffle 12 can shield multiple signal windows 113.

[0067] It can be understood that the shape of the signal window 113 can be selected and matched according to actual needs, including but not limited to a rectangle, a rounded rectangle, a trapezoid, a circle, or any irregular shape, which is not individually limited in this embodiment.

[0068] The existing feeding bird device 1000 sets the camera assembly 4 in the grain bin assembly 1 in a common screw fastening connection mode, but the screw fastening connection mode needs to involve the disassembly of the screw during the disassembly process of the camera assembly 4, the operation steps are cumbersome and need external tools, and the user cannot complete the disassembly of the camera assembly 4 without external tools, which is time-consuming and laborious and extremely inconvenient to operate.

[0069] In order to facilitate the quick and convenient disassembly of the camera assembly 4, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The feeding bird device 1000 includes a camera assembly component 5, which is used to non-fastening detachable assemble the camera assembly 4 to the grain bin assembly 1, so that the camera assembly 4 can be conveniently disassembled to the grain bin assembly 1. The camera assembly component 5 is arranged on at least one of the grain bin assembly 1 and the camera assembly 4. In order to ensure the stability of the installation, the camera assembly component 5 non-fastening detachable assembles the camera assembly 4 to the grain bin assembly 1 by at least two dimensions. Further, the grain bin assembly 1 includes a bin body 11, and the bin body 11 is formed with a mounting groove 115 for accommodating and assembling the camera assembly 4. The camera assembly component 5 is partially or entirely mounted in the mounting groove 115.

[0070] Further, the non-fastening detachable mode can be at least one of magnetic attraction, clamping, and hanging, that is, the camera assembly component 5 is connected and positioned by at least one of magnetic attraction, clamping, and hanging. However, it is not limited to at least one of magnetic attraction, clamping, and hanging, and any other non-fastening detachable mode can be used.

[0071] Specifically, the camera assembly component 5 includes a magnetic attraction component, which includes a first magnetic attraction piece 51 and a second magnetic attraction piece 52; the first magnetic attraction piece 51 is arranged on the camera assembly 4, and the second magnetic attraction piece 52 is arranged on the grain bin assembly 1, and the first magnetic attraction piece 51 and the second magnetic attraction piece 52 are attracted and fixed. Through the attraction and fixation of the first magnetic attraction piece 51 and the second magnetic attraction piece 52, quick connection and positioning are realized, and the attraction force of the first magnetic attraction piece 51 and the second magnetic attraction piece 52 can realize the self-guiding effect of the camera assembly 4 during the installation process of the camera assembly 4, without the need for manual positioning assistance, which improves the convenience of the installation of the camera assembly 4.

[0072] Further, one of the first magnetic attraction member 51 and the second magnetic attraction member 52 is provided with a limiting slot (not shown in the figure), and the other is provided with a limiting protrusion (not shown in the figure), and the limiting protrusion is accommodated in the limiting slot. For example, the first magnetic attraction member 51 is provided with a limiting slot, and the second magnetic attraction member 52 is provided with a limiting protrusion. When the first magnetic attraction member 51 and the second magnetic attraction member 52 are attracted and fixed, the limiting protrusion is accommodated in the limiting slot, and the cooperation of the limiting protrusion and the limiting slot limits the displacement of the camera assembly 4 along the direction perpendicular to the attracting direction, thereby avoiding the unintended displacement of the camera assembly 4 along the direction perpendicular to the attracting direction.

[0073] It can be understood that, in order to ensure that the first magnetic attraction member 51 and the second magnetic attraction member 52 generate an attracting effect, at least one of the first magnetic attraction member 51 and the second magnetic attraction member 52 has magnetism.

[0074] Specifically, in some embodiments, one of the first magnetic attraction member 51 and the second magnetic attraction member 52 is metal, and the other is a magnetic member. For example, the first magnetic attraction member 51 is metal, and the second magnetic attraction member 52 is a magnetic member. Preferably, the first magnetic attraction member 51 is metal, which can effectively avoid the error attracting condition caused by the accidental touch of other metal parts during the installation of the camera assembly 4 provided with the first magnetic attraction member 51 which is a magnetic member, and only one of them is a magnetic member, thereby reducing the production cost of the bird feeder 1000.

[0075] Alternatively, in another embodiment, the first magnetic attraction member 51 and the second magnetic attraction member 52 are both magnetic members, and the magnetism of the first magnetic attraction member 51 and the second magnetic attraction member 52 is opposite. Through the above-mentioned arrangement, the first magnetic attraction member 51 and the second magnetic attraction member 52 both generate magnetic attraction force that interacts with each other, which is obviously stronger than the magnetic attraction force generated between the first magnetic attraction member 51 and the second magnetic attraction member 52 which are one magnetic member and the other metal, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the camera assembly 4 and the granary assembly 1.

[0076] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 6 , the camera assembly 5 further comprises a clamping assembly 53, which is arranged on the granary assembly 1 and is used for clamping the camera assembly 4. The clamping assembly 53 realizes the quick and stable disassembly and assembly of the camera assembly 4 through clamping.

[0077] Specifically, the clamping assembly 53 includes two elastic clamping members 531, both of which are fixed to the granary assembly 1 and oppositely spaced to form a clamping groove (not labeled) for accommodating the camera assembly 4, and the two elastic clamping members 531 are used to clamp the camera assembly 4. Further, the elastic clamping member 531 includes a mounting arm 5311, a connecting arm 5312 and a spring arm 5313, one end of the connecting arm 5312 is fixed to the mounting arm 5311, the other end of the connecting arm 5312 is fixed to the spring arm 5313, the spring arm 5313 is used to provide an elastic force to abut against the camera assembly 4, and the end of the spring arm 5313 away from the connecting arm 5312 is bent to form a clamping groove 5313a, and the mounting arm 5311 is fixed to the granary assembly 1. The clamping grooves 5313a of the two spring arms 5313 are oppositely arranged to form the above-mentioned clamping groove, and the clamping grooves 5313a of the two spring arms 5313 are used to accommodate the camera assembly 4. When the two elastic clamping members 531 are in a natural state, i.e. the camera assembly 4 is not accommodated in the clamping groove, the distance between the spring arms 5313 of the two elastic clamping members 531 is a reserved distance during installation; when the two elastic clamping members 531 are in a stressed state, i.e. the camera assembly 4 is clamped in the clamping groove, the spring arms 5313 of the two elastic clamping members 531 are elastically deformed to increase the distance between the spring arms 5313 of the two elastic clamping members 531, so that the spring arms 5313 press or hold the camera assembly 4.

The solar panel 6a is small in size, and is convenient to integrate on the bird feeder 1000, and the solar panel 6a generates electricity by relying on solar energy, belongs to clean energy, and ensures the affinity of the bird feeder 1000 with the external environment. Considering the installation mode of the bird feeder 1000 and the maximum time and area of absorbing light energy, the solar panel 6a is installed on the top of the bird feeder 1000.

[0086] Further, the outer surface of the granary assembly 1 is provided with a receiving groove 14, and the solar panel 6a is installed in the receiving groove 14, and the front surface (the surface for absorbing light energy) of the solar panel 6a away from the receiving groove 14 is flush with the outer surface of the granary assembly 1. The solar panel 6a and the granary assembly 1 are in an integrated structure through the arrangement of the receiving groove 14.

[0087] At the same time, in order to prevent rainwater and the like from entering between the solar panel 6a and the receiving groove 14 and causing damage to the solar panel 6a, the solar panel 6a is sealingly installed in the receiving groove 14. Specifically, when the solar panel 6a is installed in the receiving groove 14, the gap between the solar panel 6a and the receiving groove 14 is sealed. The sealing mode can adopt sealing glue filling, covering and the like.

[0088] It can be understood that the solar panel 6a is accommodated in the integrated structure of the granary assembly 1 through the receiving groove 14, the granary assembly 1 has various processing modes of the receiving groove 14, and the processing mode of the receiving groove 14 is different for the granary assembly 1 made of different materials. For example, when the material of the granary assembly 1 is plastic, the receiving groove 14 is processed by injection molding; when the material of the granary assembly 1 is metal, the receiving groove 14 is processed and manufactured by stamping forming.

[0089] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 , the granary assembly 1 is provided with a first wire through hole 141 at the bottom of the receiving groove 14, the first wire through hole 141 is in communication with the receiving groove 14; the power supply assembly 6 further includes a wire 61, one end of the wire 61 is connected with the camera assembly 4, and the other end of the wire 61 can pass through the first wire through hole 141 and be connected with the solar panel 6a. The arrangement of the above-mentioned first wire through hole 141 facilitates the accommodation of the wire 61 in the granary assembly 1, improves the integrity and neatness of the power supply assembly 6 and the granary assembly 1, and the accommodation of the wire 61 in the granary assembly 1 can effectively prevent animals such as rats and squirrels from gnawing the wire 61, and also improve the neatness and beauty of the bird feeder 1000.

[0090] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 8The back plate of the granary assembly 1 is provided with a wire slot 15 on the outer side away from the camera assembly 4.

The wire 61 is accommodated in the wire slot 15, and one end of the wire 61 can pass through the second wire through hole 16 to be connected with the camera assembly 4. The wire slot 15 facilitates the arrangement and hiding of the wire 61 between the camera assembly 4 and the power supply assembly 6, and prevents the wire 61 from being damaged by external impact and being bitten by animals such as mice and squirrels.

[0091] In some embodiments, a waterproof cap (not labeled) is arranged at the second wire through hole 16. The inner ring of the waterproof cap is sleeved on the wire 61, and the outer ring of the waterproof cap abuts against the inner wall of the second wire through hole 16, thereby achieving the waterproof function at the second wire through hole 16 and preventing external water from entering the granary assembly 1 through the gap between the wire 61 and the inner wall of the second wire through hole 16.

[0092] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The granary assembly 1 is provided with a plurality of hooks 17 for clamping the wire 61 to constrain the arrangement of the wire 61 between the accommodation groove 14 and the wire slot 15.

[0093] It can be understood that the arrangement of the hooks 17 is set according to the actual arrangement of the wire 61 to make the arrangement of the wire 61 in the accommodation cavity more reasonable and improve the aesthetics of the arrangement of the wire 61. For example, one hook 17 is arranged at the end of the wire slot 15 away from the second wire through hole 16 to facilitate the turning of the wire 61 at the end of the wire slot 15.

[0094] The solar panel 6a needs to receive sunlight for conversion and also needs to rectify and control the generated current. Therefore, the structure of the solar panel 6a is complex, and there are many components. A large amount of heat will be generated during the conversion process, which will greatly affect the conversion efficiency and service life of the solar panel 6a if the heat cannot be dissipated in time. Metal has good heat conduction and dissipation characteristics.

[0095] Therefore, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7 The granary assembly 1 is made of metal, and the back of the panel body 6a1 of the solar panel 6a is directly or indirectly connected with the metal granary assembly 1 in a manner of being provided with a heat conduction member. Further, the panel body 6a1 is installed in the accommodation groove 14. The panel body 6a1 of the solar panel 6a is directly installed in the metal granary assembly 1, instead of being first assembled in a plastic outer frame and then being installed in the granary assembly 1. In this way, the panel body 6a1 of the solar panel 6a is directly or indirectly connected with the metal granary assembly 1 in a manner of being provided with a heat conduction member, which greatly improves the heat dissipation effect of the solar panel 6a and ensures the performance of the solar panel 6a.

[0096] Further, the solar panel 6a further comprises a controller 6a2 connected with the panel body 6a1. The bottom of the receiving groove 14 is further provided with an avoiding groove 142. The first wire through hole 141 is communicated with the bottom of the avoiding groove 142. When the panel body 6a1 is received in the receiving groove 14, the controller 6a2 is received in the avoiding groove 142, and the other end of the wire 61 is connected with the controller 6a2 after passing through the first wire through hole 141. The avoiding groove 142 is provided so that each part of the solar panel 6a can be received and hidden, thereby improving the integrity and flatness of the solar panel 6a and the grain bin assembly 1, avoiding the layout disorder of the power supply assembly 6, and improving the aesthetic appearance of the solar panel 6a received in the receiving groove 14.

[0097] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 9 , the power supply assembly 6 further comprises a heat-conducting adhesive layer 62 arranged between the back of the panel body 6a1 and the bottom of the receiving groove 14. One side of the heat-conducting adhesive layer 62 is connected with the back of the panel body 6a1, and the other side of the heat-conducting adhesive layer 62 is connected with the bottom of the receiving groove 14, so as to improve the heat conduction efficiency between the back of the panel body 6a1 of the solar panel 6a and the bottom of the receiving groove 14, and also enhance the waterproofness between the panel body 6a1 and the bottom of the receiving groove 14, and facilitate the rapid and uniform heat transfer of the panel body 6a1 in the working state to the grain bin assembly 1, thereby ensuring the working stability of the power supply assembly 6.

[0098] It can be understood that the heat-conducting adhesive layer 62 includes but is not limited to heat-conducting gel, single / dual-component epoxy heat-conducting adhesive, neutral single-component room temperature moisture-cured silicone rubber, etc.

[0099] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 10 , the power supply assembly 6 further comprises a first plug-in part 63 arranged in the grain bin assembly 1, and one end of the wire 61 is connected with the first plug-in part 63. The camera assembly 4 is provided with a second plug-in part 41 for plug-in connection with the first plug-in part 63. The first plug-in part 63 and the second plug-in part 41 realize the electrical connection of the power supply assembly 6 and the camera assembly 4, and the cooperation of the first plug-in part 63 and the second plug-in part 41 forms a new fixing point at the connection position of the first plug-in part 63 and the second plug-in part 41 when the camera assembly 4 is received in the mounting groove 115, thereby improving the stability of the camera assembly 4 fixed to the grain bin assembly 1.

[0100] In some embodiments, a sealing member (not marked) is arranged at the connection position of the first plug-in part 63 and the second plug-in part 41. When the first plug-in part 63 is plugged with the second plug-in part 41, the first plug-in part 63 and the second plug-in part 41 abut against the sealing member, thereby improving the waterproofness of the connection of the camera assembly 4 and the power supply assembly 6.

[0101] For the above-mentioned grain bin assembly 1, please refer toFigure 1 The grain bin assembly 1 comprises the bin body 11 and further comprises a top cover 19. The top cover 19 is arranged at the upper end of the bin body 11. The top cover 19 covers at least part of the bin body 11 and the feeding trough 21, so that the top cover 19 forms a protection for at least part of the bin body 11, the camera assembly 4 and the feeding trough 21. When the outside is in a raining state, the top cover 19 blocks the external rainwater, preventing the camera assembly 4 from being disturbed by the rainwater and preventing the bird food from being damp and deteriorated.

[0102] In order to facilitate the opening and closing of the top cover 19 and the replenishment of the bird food in the grain cavity 111 of the bin body 11 by the user, the top cover 19 is rotatably arranged at the upper end of the bin body 11 and is opened or covered by rotating. Further, the top cover 19 gradually opens the bin body 11 when rotating away from the upper end of the bin body 11, and gradually covers the bin body 11 when rotating towards the upper end of the bin body 11.

[0103] Specifically, the grain bin assembly 1 further comprises a top cover connecting piece for rotatably arranging the top cover 19 at the upper end of the bin body 11. In one mode, the top cover connecting piece comprises a rotating connecting piece 191 and a stabilizing connecting piece 192. The rotating connecting piece 191 comprises a rotating shaft 1911 and a rotating sleeve 1912, which are respectively arranged on the bin body 11 and the top cover 19. Alternatively, the rotating shaft 1911 is arranged on the top cover 19, and the rotating sleeve 1912 is arranged on the bin body 11. Further, the rotating sleeve 1912 has a guide groove with a predetermined length, and the rotating shaft 1911 can move along the guide groove, so that the top cover 19 can be displaced along the guide groove in addition to being rotated under the limitation of the rotating sleeve 1912, thereby adjusting the flexibility of the top cover 19 covering the upper end of the bin body 11. The stabilizing connecting piece 192 is used to stably connect the top cover 19 and the bin body 11, preventing the top cover 19 from being accidentally opened when covering the upper end of the bin body 11. The stabilizing connecting piece 192 can adopt magnetic attraction, clamping, buckling and other modes, which can stably connect, quickly connect and separate. Preferably, when the top cover 19 and the bin body 11 are made of metal materials, the stabilizing connecting piece 192 adopts a magnetic attraction mode, comprising a magnetic connecting piece which can be arranged on at least one of the top cover 19 and the bin body 11. When the top cover 19 is displaced in the direction of escaping from the magnetic attraction in the guide groove, the magnetic attraction between the top cover 19 and the bin body 11 can be separated. When the top cover 19 is displaced in the direction of magnetic attraction in the guide groove, the top cover 19 and the bin body 11 can be stably connected by magnetic attraction, so that the top cover 19 can be simply and quickly opened and covered on the bin body 11.

[0104] Further, the power supply assembly 6 is arranged on the outer surface of the top cover 19, and the receiving groove 14 is also arranged on the outer surface of the top cover 19, so as to improve the integration of the power supply assembly 6 fixed to the grain bin assembly 1. The top cover 19 can have various shapes such as V-shaped, arc-shaped and planar. The power supply assembly 6 can be arranged at least one place on the top cover 19.

[0105] It can be understood that, in order to avoid the bird food in the feeding trough 21 from being wetted by rain, the part of the top cover 19 covering the feeding trough 21 should be all or the area covered by the top cover 19 should be more than the feeding trough 21 to the stand assembly 3, so that the birds can be shaded or rain-protected on the stand assembly 3.

[0106] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 11 , the feeding trough 21 at least partially protrudes from the grain bin assembly 1 in a direction perpendicular to the upper end of the grain bin assembly 1 to the lower end, so that the area where the feeding trough 21 protrudes from the grain bin assembly 1 constitutes a feeding area, which is convenient for the birds to forage in the feeding area; the grain bin assembly 1 further comprises a guide member 1a, which is arranged at the grain outlet 112 in an inclined manner, and the guide member 1a is used to guide the bird food in the grain cavity 111 to the part of the feeding trough 21 protruding from the grain bin assembly 1.

[0107] It can be understood that the inclination angle of the guide member 1a arranged at the grain outlet 112 needs to be selected in combination with actual needs, such as the particle size of the bird food, the shape of the bird food, and the like. When the particle of the bird food is large and the shape of the bird food is irregular, the inclination angle of the guide member 1a is increased to ensure the smooth discharge of the bird feeder; when the particle of the bird food is small and the shape of the bird food is regular, the inclination angle of the guide member 1a is reduced to control the discharge amount of the bird feeder. The specific angle selection is not exemplified one by one in the present embodiment.

[0108] It should be noted that the way of arranging the guide member 1a at the grain outlet 112 includes but is not limited to screwing, clamping, riveting, welding, gluing, and the like.

Specifically, the bird feeder 1000 comprises a plurality of connecting members (not shown), the guide member 1a comprises a supporting portion 1a1 and an inclined portion 1a2, one end of the supporting portion 1a1 abuts against the trough bottom of the feeding trough 21, the other end of the supporting portion 1a1 is connected to the inclined portion 1a2, a part of the supporting portion 1a1 is accommodated in the feeding trough 21, another part of the supporting portion 1a1 is accommodated in the grain cavity 111, and the other end of the inclined portion 1a2 abuts against the trough bottom of the feeding trough 21. Further, in order to avoid unintended displacement of the guide member 1a in the feeding trough 21, an end of the other end of the inclined portion 1a2 is provided with an inserting portion 1a21, and the feeding trough 21 is correspondingly provided with an inserting hole, and the inserting portion 1a21 is inserted into the inserting hole; the supporting portion 1a1 is provided with a plurality of first fixing holes, the sidewall of the feeding trough 21 and the sidewall of the metal bin body 11 are both provided with a plurality of second fixing holes, and part of the connecting members pass through the second fixing holes provided in the sidewall of the feeding trough 21, the first fixing holes, and part of the second fixing holes and part of the first fixing holes provided in the sidewall of the metal bin body 11 in sequence to fixedly connect the feeding tray assembly 2, the metal bin body 11 and the supporting portion 1a1 accommodated therein; another part of the connecting members pass through another part of the second fixing holes and another part of the first fixing holes provided in the sidewall of the metal bin body 11 in sequence to fixedly connect the metal bin body 11 and the supporting portion 1a1 accommodated in the grain cavity 111, the close connection of the guide member 1a with the bin assembly 1 and the feeding tray assembly 2 is realized through the above-mentioned plurality of first fixing holes, plurality of second fixing holes provided in the sidewall of the feeding trough 21, plurality of second fixing holes provided in the sidewall of the metal bin body 11, and the cooperation of the connecting members, and the supporting portion 1a1 of the guide member 1a also serves as a reinforcing plate structure for connecting the bin assembly 1 and the feeding tray assembly 2, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the bird feeder 1000.

[0110] It should be noted that, during the assembly of the bin assembly 1 and the feeding tray assembly 2, part of the grain cavity 111 and the feeding trough 21 have a common area, and the part of the guide member 1a in the common area represents the part of the guide member 1a accommodated in the feeding trough 21, and further, the part of the supporting portion 1a1 in the common area represents the part accommodated in the feeding trough 21.

[0111] In some embodiments, the guide member 1a can also be provided with a avoiding cavity (not shown) for accommodating part of the inner rack body 116, so that the structure of the bird feeder 1000 is more compact, the volume of the bird feeder 1000 is reduced, and the integration of the bird feeder 1000 is improved.

[0112] For the above-mentioned stand assembly 3 and the rod-like structure 31 that should be provided in the stand assembly 3, please refer to Figure 13The stand assembly 3 is provided with a standing rod 311 which can be directly fixed to the food tray assembly 2 for the birds to stand on; or a distance adjusting member 312 is provided and connected to the standing rod 311 and the food tray assembly 2 to adjust the distance between the standing rod 311 and the food tray assembly 2, so that the distance between the standing rod 311 and the food tray assembly 2 can be adjusted to adapt to birds of different sizes.

[0113] It can be understood that the distance adjusting member 312 can be manually adjusted by hand, or a corresponding driving member and connecting rod can be provided to realize automatic adjustment, and the automatic adjustment can be compared according to the pictures of the birds taken by the camera assembly 4 in combination with the self-owned database and the cloud-stored database, so as to realize intelligent adjustment for different birds.

[0114] It should be noted that the distance adjusting member 312 can realize distance adjustment in the following ways, but is not limited to: a telescopic rod, a folding rod or a sliding rod, or any other structure that can realize distance adjustment. For example, the distance adjusting member is a telescopic rod or a folding rod.

[0115] Alternatively, in some preferred embodiments, please refer to Figure 13 The distance adjusting member 312 realizes distance adjustment by using a sliding rod. Specifically, the distance adjusting member 312 includes a connecting rod 3121, one end of the connecting rod 3121 is connected to the standing rod 311, and the connecting rod 3121 is slidingly arranged on the food tray assembly 2 so that the connecting rod 3121 is connected to the food tray assembly 2. The stand assembly 3 further includes a locking member 32 which is detachably installed on the food tray assembly 2. The locking member 32 is connected to the connecting rod 3121, and is used to fix or unlock the connecting rod 3121 on the food tray assembly 2. When unlocked, the connecting rod 3121 can slidingly adjust the distance between the standing rod 311 and the food tray assembly 2.

[0116] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 13 The locking member 32 is provided with anti-slip lines 321 to increase the friction when the user manually adjusts, reduce the operation difficulty of the user, and avoid that the outer surface of the locking member 32 is too smooth or is difficult to adjust due to rain.

[0117] It can be understood that the connection mode of the standing rod 311 and the connecting rod 3121 includes but is not limited to one-piece forming, detachable fixing, etc. For example, the standing rod 311 and the connecting rod 3121 are detachably fixed. Specifically, the two ends of the standing rod 311 are provided with clamping protrusions 3111, the connecting rod 3121 is provided with a connecting clamping groove 3121a, the clamping protrusions 3111 are clamped in the connecting clamping groove 3121a, to form a clamping connection mode of the clamping protrusions 3111 and the connecting clamping groove 3121a. The fixing mode of the clamping protrusions 3111 and the connecting clamping groove 3121a facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the standing rod 311. When the standing rod 311 or the connecting rod 3121 is damaged, only the damaged part needs to be replaced, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the bird feeder 1000.

[0118] Further, the connecting rod 3121 is provided with a sliding groove 3121b, the locking member 32 is arranged in the sliding groove 3121b and connected with the food tray assembly 2, so as to limit the connecting rod 3121, and the locking member 32 and the sliding groove 3121b are matched to limit the sliding stroke of the connecting rod 3121.

[0119] It can be understood that the connection mode of the locking member 32 and the food tray assembly 2 includes but is not limited to welding, screwing, clamping, mortise and tenon, etc. For example, in some embodiments, the end of the locking member 32 close to the food tray assembly 2 is provided with a screwing part 322, the food tray assembly 2 is provided with a screw groove 22, and the locking member 32 is arranged in the sliding groove 3121b and screwed in the screw groove 22.

[0120] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 13 , the bird feeder 1000 further comprises a guide member 9, the guide member 9 is installed on the food tray assembly 2, at least part of the guide member 9 is arranged in the sliding groove 3121b, the guide member 9 and the locking member 32 are spaced apart, the connecting rod 3121 can slide relative to the guide member 9, the guide member 9 and the locking member 32 are matched to guide the sliding direction of the connecting rod 3121, and the guide member 9 and the locking member 32 also limit the connecting rod 3121, so as to avoid the connecting rod 3121 rotating around the locking member 32 during sliding. Further, the guide member 9 and the locking member 32 have different sizes or shapes, so as to distinguish the functions in appearance, and the user can distinguish the guide member 9 and the locking member 32 by directly observing the appearance.

[0121] Since the bird will exert an instantaneous impact force on the standing rod 311 of the standing-to-stand assembly 3 when standing on the standing rod 311 during take-off or landing, the connection position of the locking member 32 and the feeding tray assembly 2 will be loose under the long-term action of the impact force. Therefore, in some embodiments, the distance adjusting member 312 comprises a first gasket 3122 and a second gasket 3123. The first gasket 3122 is located on the side of the connecting rod 3121 away from the feeding tray assembly 2, and the locking member 32 penetrates the first gasket 3122. The second gasket 3123 is located between the connecting rod 3121 and the feeding tray assembly 2, and the locking member 32 penetrates the second gasket 3123. By adding the first gasket 3122, the contact area of the locking member 32 and the connecting rod 3121 is increased, thereby increasing the contact area of the locking member 32 during the fixing operation and enhancing the stability of the locking member 32 during the fixing operation. The second gasket 3123 is added to isolate and protect the contact surface between the connecting rod 3121 and the feeding tray assembly 2, avoid direct contact between the two, and avoid scratching the contact surface between the connecting rod 3121 and the feeding tray assembly 2 due to the fixing of the locking member 32. The second gasket 3123 is provided to ensure the retention of the sliding gap between the connecting rod 3121 and the feeding tray assembly 2 during sliding, thereby avoiding local deformation of the connecting rod 3121 due to the locking operation of the locking member 32 and affecting the sliding of the connecting rod 3121.

[0122] In actual use, the bird feeder 1000 is placed in an outdoor environment, and the standing-to-stand assembly 3 can be directly irradiated by sunlight. Under the long-term direct irradiation of sunlight, the standing rod 311 of the standing-to-stand assembly 3 will absorb heat and cause the temperature of the standing rod 311 to rise, thereby scalding the toes of the bird.

[0123] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 14 , the standing-to-stand assembly 3 further comprises a heat insulation member 33, which is sleeved on the standing rod 311 to form an anti-scald layer on the standing rod 311, thereby avoiding scalding of the toes of the bird.

[0124] It can be understood that the heat insulation member 33 wraps part or all of the outer surface of the standing rod 311. For example, the heat insulation member 33 wraps the area of the standing rod 311 where the bird is more likely to grasp the standing rod 311. Alternatively, the heat insulation member 33 wraps the entire outer surface of the standing rod 311 to provide comprehensive protection for the toes of the bird.

[0125] It can be understood that the heat insulation member 33 is sleeved on the standing rod 311 in a manner including but not limited to being detachably sleeved on the standing rod 311 or being directly wrapped on the standing rod 311. In this embodiment, the heat insulation member 33 is preferably detachably sleeved on the standing rod 311, so that the heat insulation member 33 can be easily replaced by the user when it is damaged or aged.

[0126] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the heat insulating member 33 is provided with anti-skid patterns (not labeled) to increase the friction between the toes of the bird and the standing rod 311 when the toes of the bird grip the standing rod 311, thereby ensuring the stability of the bird when standing on the standing rod 311.

[0127] It should be noted that the standing frame assembly 3 includes the standing rod 311 made of metal and the heat insulating member 33 made of non-metal. The non-metal material ensures excellent heat insulation performance of the heat insulating member 33, wherein the non-metal material includes but is not limited to aerogel material, high-performance polymer material, high-temperature resistant fiber material, silicate material, ceramic material, etc.

[0128] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 13 and Figure 15 , the bird feeder 1000 further includes a leakage-proof net 7, which is arranged on the food tray assembly 2 and covers the slot of the feeding groove 21. The leakage-proof net 7 is used to protect the slot and prevent non-bird animals such as squirrels from stealing bird food.

[0129] In actual use, in order to avoid that the bird blocks the camera assembly 4 during feeding or causes the camera assembly 4 to be out of focus and unable to shoot due to the bird being too close to the camera assembly 4, in some embodiments, the leakage-proof net 7 forms corresponding functional areas, specifically, a feeding area S1 for birds to feed and an avoidance area S2 for birds to not normally stand on. The avoidance area S2 is close to the mounting groove 115 of the granary assembly 1 of the bird feeder 1000, and the feeding area S1 is away from the mounting groove 115 of the granary assembly 1 of the bird feeder 1000. By distinguishing the physical space of the avoidance area S2 and the feeding area S1, the bird's feedable range is ensured to be within the pre-planned area, thereby providing a suitable shooting distance for the camera assembly 4.

[0130] Specifically, along the shooting direction of the camera assembly 4 of the bird feeder 1000, the avoidance area S2 extends a predetermined distance range forward from the mounting groove 115 in the shooting direction. It can be understood that the selection of the predetermined distance is determined by the closest focusing distance of the camera assembly 4 selected by the bird feeder 1000, which is not illustrated one by one here.

[0131] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 15 , the feeding area S1 is provided with at least one first feeding port 71a, which is in communication with the feeding groove 21, so as to facilitate the bird to peck the bird food at the first feeding port 71a. Further, the avoidance area S2 is provided with at least one second feeding port 71b, which is in communication with the feeding groove 21, so as to facilitate the bird to peck the bird food at the second feeding port 71b.

[0132] It can be understood that the avoidance area S2 includes a forbidden standing area S21 and an optional area S22. The forbidden standing area S21 is located in front of the shooting direction of the camera assembly 4 of the bird feeder 1000 to ensure the closest focusing distance of the camera assembly 4. The optional area S22 is located on both sides of the forbidden standing area S21. The second feeding port 71b is arranged in the optional area S22 to improve the number of birds that can be fed by the anti-leakage net 7 and ensure the maximum use rate of the bird feeder 1000.

[0133] In some embodiments, the feeding area S1 is arranged straight to enable the bird to stand stably in the area when the bird stands in the feeding area S1. The avoidance area S2 is arranged obliquely to avoid the bird standing in the area and causing interference with the shooting work of the camera assembly 4.

[0134] It should be noted that the first feeding port 71a and the second feeding port 71b mentioned above both refer to a plurality of leakage holes 71 arranged in the anti-leakage net 7. The arrangement of the leakage holes 71 facilitates the bird beak of the bird to pass through the leakage holes 71 and extend into the feeding groove 21 to peck the bird food. The diameter of the leakage hole 71 can be arranged according to the bird beak of the bird to be fed. The diameter of the leakage hole 71 is less than or equal to the maximum diameter of the bird beak of the bird to be fed, so as to avoid the head of the bird to be fed from being stuck in the anti-leakage net 7 through the leakage hole 71. In addition, the selection of the diameter of the leakage hole 71 also realizes the preliminary screening of the bird to be fed.

[0135] Further, in order to enhance the effect of preventing squirrels and other non-bird animals from entering the anti-leakage net 7, in some embodiments, a natural plant alkali such as capsaicin is added to the anti-leakage net 7 during processing. The use of natural plant alkali ensures the biological affinity of the bird feeder 1000, prevents the damage of the anti-leakage net 7 caused by the biting of squirrels and other non-bird animals, and the use of capsaicin does not cause health problems of squirrels and other non-bird animals. For example, when the material of the anti-leakage net 7 is plastic, a substance for preventing animal biting is added during the injection molding process of the anti-leakage net 7. When the material of the anti-leakage net 7 is metal, an oil paint mixed with a substance for preventing animal biting is applied to the surface layer of the anti-leakage net 7.

[0136] When the bird pecks the food on the bird feeder 1000, the anti-leakage net 7 is easy to be moved by the impact of the bird beak or the bird's head pulling out of the anti-leakage net 7, which causes the anti-leakage net 7 to be pulled out of the feeding groove 21, resulting in that the anti-leakage net 7 cannot shield the feeding groove 21.

[0137] It should be noted that the above-mentioned grain bin assembly 1 and food tray assembly 2 are the most basic elements of the bird feeder 1000, so they can be collectively referred to as the bird feeder main body.

[0138] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, Figure 13 The bird feeder 1000 further comprises a locking assembly 8 connected to the anti-leakage net 7 and the bird feeder main body, which locks or unlocks the anti-leakage net 7 to the bird feeder main body.

[0139] In some embodiments, the locking assembly 8 is rotatably arranged on at least one of the hopper assembly 1 or the tray assembly 2; and the locking assembly 8 has two working states, i.e., when the locking assembly 8 is rotated to a first position, the locking assembly 8 restricts the escape of the escape-proof net 7 from the feeding groove 21, and locks the escape-proof net 7; and when the locking assembly 8 is rotated to a second position, the locking assembly 8 cancels the restriction on the escape-proof net 7, and unlocks the escape-proof net 7.

[0140] In some preferred embodiments, the locking assembly 8 comprises a locking member 81 and a mounting member 82, the locking member 81 is rotatable about the mounting member 82, and the mounting member 82 mounts the locking member 81 on at least one of the hopper assembly 1 or the tray assembly 2; wherein when the locking member 81 is rotated to a first position, the locking member 81 restricts the escape of the escape-proof net 7 from the feeding groove 21; and when the locking member 81 is rotated to a second position, the locking member 81 cancels the restriction on the escape-proof net 7.

[0141] Further, the locking member 81 comprises a locking portion 811 and a handle 812, the handle 812 is connected to one end of the locking portion 811, the handle 812 facilitates a user to rotate the locking portion 811 to adjust the rotational position of the locking portion 811, and the mounting member 82 is arranged in the locking portion 811, when the locking member 81 is rotated to the first position, part of the locking portion 811 overlaps with the escape-proof net 7; and when the locking portion 811 is rotated to the second position, the locking portion 811 is completely separated from the escape-proof net 7.

[0142] In some embodiments, one end of the handle 812 is connected to the locking portion 811, and the other end of the handle 812 extends in a second direction to form an elongated force arm structure, thereby reducing the force required by a user to rotate the locking portion 811, and improving the user experience of the locking assembly 8.

[0143] In some embodiments, the bird feeder 1000 further comprises a hanging assembly (not labeled) arranged on the hopper assembly 11, and fixed to a side facing away from the camera assembly 4, the hanging assembly is used to hang and fix the bird feeder 1000 to a carrier such as a tree.

[0144] In the embodiment, the bird feeder 1000 comprises a grain bin assembly 11, a feeding tray assembly 2, a standing frame assembly 3 and a camera assembly 4. Specifically, the grain bin assembly 11 comprises a metal bin body 11 and a window baffle 12. The metal bin body 11 is provided with a grain cavity 111, a grain outlet 112 and a signal window 113. The grain outlet 112 is in communication with the grain cavity 111. The window baffle 12 is arranged on the metal bin body 11 and used for shielding the signal window 113. The feeding tray assembly 2 is fixed to the grain outlet 112 of the grain bin assembly 11. The feeding tray assembly 2 is provided with a feeding groove 21. The feeding groove 21 is in communication with the grain cavity 111 through the grain outlet 112. The standing frame assembly 3 is arranged on the feeding tray assembly 2. The camera assembly 4 is arranged on the grain bin assembly 11. The view range of the camera assembly 4 covers at least part of the feeding groove 21 and the standing frame assembly 3. The signal window 113 is arranged on the metal bin body 11 and shielded by the window baffle 12. Therefore, the signal of the camera assembly 4 can pass through the signal window 113 and the window baffle 12. The signal shielding problem of the metal bin body 11 to the camera assembly 4 is improved. Further, the window baffle 12 is made of a light-transmitting material. The user can intuitively observe the remaining amount of bird food in the grain cavity 111 and the storage state of the bird food. The user can timely supplement the bird food or replace the deteriorated bird food.
