[0025] To explain in detail the technical content, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0026] The direction opposite the feed tray to the grain outlet is the front of the feed tray; the direction opposite the front of the feed tray is the rear of the feed tray; and the other directions are the sides of the feed tray.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 A bird feeder includes a side camera 1, a grain bin 2, and a feeding tray 3, wherein the bottom of the grain bin 2 is connected to the feeding tray 3; the side camera 1 is at least one and is located on the side of the feeding tray 3.

[0028] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This bird feeder has a side camera 1, which can take pictures of the birds from the side / oblique side of the feeding birds, making up for the lack of image data of the feeding birds from the side / oblique side, and providing scarce image data for bird lovers and researchers.

[0029] Furthermore, the distance between the side camera 1 and the feeding tray 3 is greater than or equal to the near point distance of the depth of field of the side camera 1.

[0030] As can be seen from the above description, the distance between the side camera 1 and the feeding plate 3 is greater than or equal to the near point distance of the depth of field of the side camera 1, which can ensure the shooting effect of the side camera 1.

[0031] Furthermore, the feeding tray 3 has an extension, and the side camera 1 is disposed on the extension.

[0032] Furthermore, the extension is snapped, glued, or fastened to the feeding tray 3.

[0033] Furthermore, it also includes a bracket 4, which has a mounting part, and the side camera 1 is mounted on the mounting part.

[0034] As can be seen from the above description, there are multiple installation methods for the side camera 1, which helps to enrich the diversity of bird feeders.

[0035] Furthermore, the bracket 4 is connected to the feeding tray 3 or the grain bin 2.

[0036] As can be seen from the above description, there are multiple ways to connect the bracket 4.

[0037] Furthermore, it also includes a front-facing camera 5, which is located behind the feeding dish 3.

[0038] As described above, the front-facing camera 5 can capture images of birds feeding from the front.

[0039] Furthermore, the feeding tray 3 is tilted.

[0040] As can be seen from the above description, the tilting setting of the feeding tray 3 allows the inner bottom surface of the feeding tray 3 to tilt naturally, which facilitates the processing and manufacturing of the feeding tray 3.

[0041] Furthermore, the bottom of the feeding tray 3 is provided with a drainage hole 34, which connects the inner bottom surface and the outer bottom surface of the feeding tray 3.

[0042] As can be seen from the above description, the drainage hole 34 can serve to drain water and prevent rainwater from accumulating in the feeding dish 3.

[0043] Furthermore, the feeding tray 3 has a cover 7 at its opening, and the cover 7 has several perforated openings 71.

[0044] As can be seen from the above description, the cover 7 can prevent food waste caused by birds scooping food out of the feeding dish 3.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 One embodiment of this utility model is: a bird feeder, including a side camera 1, a grain bin 2 and a feeding tray 3. The bottom of the grain bin 2 is connected to the feeding tray 3. When the grain in the feeding tray 3 decreases, the grain in the grain bin 2 will automatically fall into the feeding tray 3 under the action of gravity. The side camera 1 is at least one and is set on the side of the feeding tray 3.

[0046] To ensure the shooting effect of the side camera 1, the distance between the side camera 1 and the feeding plate 3 is greater than or equal to the near point distance of the depth of field of the side camera 1.

[0047] In this embodiment, the feeding plate 3 has an extension, and the side camera 1 is disposed on the extension. In some embodiments, the feeding plate 3 and the extension can be an integral structure formed by integral processing, such as an integral structure formed by injection molding; while in other embodiments, the extension and the feeding plate 3 can be a separate structure. In this case, the extension and the feeding plate 3 can be connected by snap-fit, glue, or fasteners, including but not limited to clips, screws, etc.

[0048] Preferably, the inner bottom surface of the feeding tray 3 is inclined. In one or more embodiments, the inner bottom surface of the feeding tray 3 has a first side edge and a second side edge. The first side edge connects to the front edge 31 of the feeding tray 3, and the second side edge connects to the rear edge 32 of the feeding tray 3. The first side edge is lower than the second side edge. In this way, the grain in the feeding tray 3 can actively gather towards the front edge 31 of the feeding tray 3, thereby timely replenishing the grain-deficient area at the front of the feeding tray 3.

[0049] Optionally, the feeding tray 3 is tilted. In this case, the inner bottom surface of the feeding tray 3 can be a plane. Since the feeding tray 3 is tilted, the inner bottom surface of the feeding tray 3 can naturally form a tilted surface.

[0050] In one or more embodiments, the bird feeder further includes a bracket 4 connected to the feeding dish 3 or the grain bin 2. The bird feeder is fixed to / placed on an external structure using the bracket 4, the external structure including but not limited to walls, trees, windowsills, etc. Optionally, in a specific product, the bracket 4 has a mounting part, and the side camera 1 is mounted on the mounting part.

[0051] Additionally, in some products, the support 4 may be located at least partially below the feeding dish 3 to tilt the feeding dish 3.

[0052] In one or more embodiments, a support portion 33 is formed at the bottom of the front part of the feeding dish 3. The support portion 33 is used to contact the table surface so as to cooperate with the bracket 4 to support the feeding dish 3. For example, when the bird feeder is placed on the windowsill, the support portion 33 and the bracket 4 are supported on the windowsill at the same time.

[0053] The feeding dish 3 has a drainage hole 34 at its bottom, which connects the inner and outer bottom surfaces of the feeding dish 3. The drainage hole 34 can drain rainwater accumulated in the feeding dish 3 in a timely manner. Preferably, the drainage hole 34 is located close to the first side edge.

[0054] In this embodiment, the feeding tray 3 is generally arc-shaped. In other embodiments, the feeding tray 3 may also be circular, elliptical, or polygonal, and the polygonal shape includes, but is not limited to, triangles, rectangles, etc.

[0055] Optionally, the bird feeder also includes a front-facing camera 5, located behind the feeding dish 3, with its shooting angle facing the front of the feeding dish 3. In some embodiments, the front-facing camera 5 may be fixed to the food bin 2, and in a specific product, the front of the food bin 2 may be provided with a receiving slot for accommodating a portion of the front-facing camera 5.

[0056] The feeding tray 3 is connected to a stand 6, which is located in front of the feeding tray 3.

[0057] To reduce food waste, the feeding tray 3 is equipped with a cover 7 at the opening, and the cover 7 has several perforations 71, through which birds standing on the stand 6 can eat.

[0058] In summary, the bird feeder provided by this utility model has a side camera, which can take pictures of the birds from the side / oblique side while they are feeding, making up for the lack of side / oblique side image data of feeding birds, and providing scarce image data for bird lovers and researchers.

[0059] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent modifications made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
