[0030] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as there is no conflict.
[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 The bird feeder 100 comprises a bird feeding body 1, a leakage-proof net 2 and a locking assembly 3. The bird feeding body 1 comprises a grain bin assembly 11 and a feeding tray assembly 12. The grain bin assembly 11 is used for storing grain, and the feeding tray assembly 12 is installed at the grain outlet end of the grain bin assembly 11. The feeding tray assembly 12 has a feeding trough 121 which is connected to the grain bin assembly 11 and used for receiving the grain flowing out of the grain bin assembly 11 for birds to eat. The leakage-proof net 2 can be covered on the feeding trough 121, and the leakage-proof net 2 is provided with feeding openings 22 of a predetermined size and number, which can protect the bird food in the feeding trough 121. The locking assembly 3 connects the leakage-proof net 2 and the bird feeding body 1, and is used for locking or unlocking the leakage-proof net 2 to the bird feeding body 1, so that the leakage-proof net 2 cannot be taken off without being unlocked, thereby preventing animals such as squirrels from removing the leakage-proof net 2.
[0032] The locking assembly 3 can lock and unlock the leakage-proof net 2. Optionally, the locking assembly 3 is rotatably arranged on at least one of the grain bin assembly 11 or the feeding tray assembly 12. When the locking assembly 3 is rotated to a first position, the leakage-proof net 2 is limited to be separated from the feeding trough 121, and the leakage-proof net 2 is locked. At this time, the leakage-proof net 2 cannot be taken off. When the locking assembly 3 is rotated to a second position, the locking assembly 3 cancels the limitation on the leakage-proof net 2, and the leakage-proof net 2 is unlocked. At this time, the leakage-proof net 2 can be taken out of the feeding trough 121.
[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8, the grain chamber 111 is used for storing food. The food tray assembly 12 is arranged at the grain outlet end below the grain bin assembly 11, and the food tray assembly 12 is provided with a feeding trough 121, which is in communication with the grain chamber 111. When the food in the feeding trough 121 is consumed, the food in the grain chamber 111 can be supplemented into the feeding trough 121, so as to continue to attract birds to come and eat, so as to facilitate the user to watch. The feeding trough 121 is provided with a feeding opening 1211 which is in communication with the outside, and the leakage prevention net 2 can cover the feeding opening 1211 of the feeding trough 121. Further, at least part of the leakage prevention net 2 is accommodated in the feeding trough 121. The leakage prevention net 2 is provided with a clamping portion 21 which is clamped in the clamping hole 112. One end of each feeding port 22 is in communication with the feeding trough 121, and the other end is in communication with the outside. The feeding port 22 is used for the beak of the bird to extend into the feeding trough 121, so that the bird can peck the food in the feeding trough 121.
[0034] In one of the modes, the locking assembly 3 is rotationally arranged at the end of the food tray assembly 12 away from the grain bin assembly 11. When the locking assembly 3 is rotated to the first position relative to the food tray assembly 12, the locking assembly 3 can limit the leakage prevention net 2 from being separated from the feeding trough 121, and lock the leakage prevention net 2, at this time the leakage prevention net 2 cannot be taken off. When the locking assembly 3 is rotated to the second position relative to the food tray assembly 12, the locking assembly 3 cancels the limitation of the leakage prevention net 2, and unlocks the leakage prevention net 2, at this time the leakage prevention net 2 can be taken out from the feeding trough 121. When the locking assembly 3 is in the first position, because the clamping portion 21 is clamped in the clamping hole 112, the movement of the leakage prevention net 2 in the second direction Y can be limited, the second direction Y is parallel to the arrangement direction of the grain bin assembly 11 and the food tray assembly 12. In addition, because at least part of the leakage prevention net 2 is accommodated in the feeding trough 121, the side wall of the feeding trough 121 and the grain bin assembly 11 can jointly limit the movement of the leakage prevention net 2 in the first direction X and the third direction Z, thereby realizing the fixation of the leakage prevention net 2, the first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other. In this embodiment, by arranging the clamping hole 112 on the grain bin assembly 11, arranging the clamping portion 21 on the leakage prevention net 2, clamping the clamping portion 21 in the clamping hole 112, and arranging the locking assembly 3, the locking assembly 3 is rotationally arranged at the end of the food tray assembly 12 away from the grain bin assembly 11, and when the locking assembly 3 is rotated to the first position, the leakage prevention net 2 can be limited to be separated from the feeding trough 121, so as to prevent the leakage prevention net 2 from being removed by squirrels and other animals; when the locking assembly 3 is rotated to the second position, the limitation of the leakage prevention net 2 can be cancelled. Therefore, when the leakage prevention net 2 is disassembled, only the locking assembly 3 needs to be rotated to the second position, and the leakage prevention net 2 can be taken out, which is very convenient for installation and disassembly, and can facilitate the cleaning of the inside of the bird feeder 100.
[0035] In addition, since the leakage-proof net 2 is arranged, the feeding opening 22 on the leakage-proof net 2 is smaller than the feeding opening 1211 of the feeding trough 121, so that the difficulty of the animals such as squirrels to eat the food in the feeding trough 121 can be improved, and the food stolen by other animals can be reduced, and the food can be prevented from being consumed too fast.
[0036] It is worth noting that the food tray assembly 12 is located at the discharging end of the grain bin assembly 11, that is, the feeding trough 121 is located below the grain cavity 111, and when the food in the feeding trough 121 is consumed, the food in the grain cavity 111 can be supplemented into the feeding trough 121 under the action of gravity, so as to continue to attract birds to come to eat, and the food in the feeding trough 121 does not need to be supplemented manually.
[0037] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 , along the first direction X, at least part of the food tray assembly 12 protrudes from the grain bin assembly 11, and the feeding opening 1211 of the feeding trough 121 is arranged at the part of the food tray assembly 12 protruding from the grain bin assembly 11, so as to facilitate the birds to eat the food in the feeding trough 121. The clamping hole 112 is arranged on the first side wall 113 of the grain bin assembly 11, the first side wall 113 is a side wall of the grain bin assembly 11 perpendicular to the first direction X, and the first side wall 113 protrudes towards the part of the food tray assembly 12 protruding from the grain bin assembly 11, that is, the first side wall 113 is the front wall of the grain bin assembly 11. Arranging the clamping hole 112 on the first side wall 113 can facilitate the clamping of the clamping part 21 on the leakage-proof net 2 in the clamping hole 112, and facilitate the assembly of the leakage-proof net 2.
[0038] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 to 4 , the locking assembly 3 includes a locking piece 31 and a mounting piece 32, the mounting piece 32 is mounted on the food tray assembly 12, and the mounting piece 32 is located at the end of the food tray assembly 12 away from the grain bin assembly 11. The mounting piece 32 penetrates the locking piece 31 along the second direction Y, and the locking piece 31 can rotate around the mounting piece 32. When the locking piece 31 rotates to the first position, the locking piece 31 can limit the leakage-proof net 2 from being separated from the feeding trough 121; when the locking piece 31 rotates to the second position, the locking piece 31 cancels the limitation on the leakage-proof net 2, and at this time, the leakage-proof net 2 can be taken out, and the disassembly of the leakage-proof net 2 is completed.
[0039] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8, the feeding opening 1211 of the feeding trough 121 is formed with a step portion 122 recessed inward, the step portion 122 is located at a side of the feeding opening 1211 away from the grain bin assembly 11 along the first direction X, an end of the leakage-proof net 2 away from the grain bin assembly 11 is carried on the step portion 122, and at least part of the locking member 31 is located at a side of the leakage-proof net 2 away from the step portion 122 when the locking member 31 is in the first position, so that the locking member 31 can restrict the leakage-proof net 2 from being separated from the feeding trough 121 along the second direction Y, thereby achieving the fixation between the leakage-proof net 2 and the feeding plate assembly 12 and between the leakage-proof net 2 and the grain bin assembly 11.
[0040] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 to 5 , the locking member 31 comprises a locking portion 311 and a handle 312, the handle 312 is connected to an end of the locking portion 311, the mounting member 32 is arranged in the locking portion 311, the locking portion 311 can rotate around the mounting member 32, and the handle 312 is used for being gripped by a user to drive the locking member 31 to rotate. When the locking member 31 rotates to the first position, part of the locking portion 311 overlaps the leakage-proof net 2; when the locking portion 311 rotates to the second position, the locking portion 311 is completely separated from the leakage-proof net 2. Specifically, when the locking member 31 rotates to the first position, the projection of the locking portion 311 at least partially overlaps the projection of the leakage-proof net 2 along the second direction Y, thereby restricting the leakage-proof net 2 from being separated from the feeding trough 121; when the locking member 31 rotates to the second position, the projection of the locking portion 311 is separated from the projection of the leakage-proof net 2 along the second direction Y, at this time, the locking portion 311 cancels the restriction on the leakage-proof net 2, and the leakage-proof net 2 can be taken out of the feeding trough 121, so that the leakage-proof net 2 is very convenient to disassemble. When the leakage-proof net 2 is installed, the locking member 31 can be first rotated to the second position, then the clamping portion 21 is clamped in the clamping hole 112, then an end of the leakage-proof net 2 away from the grain bin assembly 11 is carried on the step portion 122, and finally the locking member 31 is rotated to the first position to complete the assembly of the leakage-proof net 2, which is convenient and fast and is conducive to improving the assembly efficiency.
[0041] In some embodiments, one end of the handle 312 is connected to the locking portion 311, and the other end of the handle 312 extends along the second direction Y, that is, the handle 312 is substantially perpendicular to the locking portion 311, so that the user can conveniently grip the handle 312 to drive the locking member 31 to rotate.
[0042] In some embodiments, the plurality of locking assemblies 3 are rotationally arranged at the end of the feeding tray assembly 12 away from the granary assembly 11, and the plurality of locking assemblies 3 are spaced apart along the third direction Z. When at least one of the locking assemblies 3 is in the first position, the locking assembly 3 restricts the escape of the escape-proof net 2 from the feeding trough 121; when each of the locking assemblies 3 is rotated to the second position, each of the locking assemblies 3 cancels the restriction on the escape-proof net 2, at which time the escape-proof net 2 can be removed, thereby completing the disassembly of the escape-proof net 2. In this embodiment, by providing a plurality of locking assemblies 3, the stability of the restriction on the escape-proof net 2 can be improved, and the risk of the escape-proof net 2 escaping from the feeding trough 121 can be reduced.
[0043] In some embodiments, each of the locking assemblies 3 includes a locking piece 31 and a mounting piece 32, each of the mounting pieces 32 is spaced apart along the third direction Z at the end of the feeding tray assembly 12 away from the granary assembly 11, and each of the mounting pieces 32 is provided with a locking piece 31, and each of the locking pieces 31 is rotatable about the corresponding mounting piece 32. When at least one of the locking pieces 31 is in the first position, the locking piece 31 can restrict the escape of the escape-proof net 2 from the feeding trough 121, so as to fix the escape-proof net 2 to the feeding tray assembly 12; when all of the locking pieces 31 are rotated to the second position, each of the locking pieces 31 cancels the restriction on the escape-proof net 2, at which time the escape-proof net 2 can be removed, thereby completing the disassembly of the escape-proof net 2.
[0044] In some embodiments, the escape-proof net 2 is provided with a plurality of clamping portions 21, the plurality of clamping portions 21 are spaced apart along the third direction Z, and the granary assembly 11 is provided with a plurality of clamping holes 112, and each of the clamping portions 21 is clamped in one of the clamping holes 112. By providing a plurality of clamping holes 112 and a plurality of clamping portions 21, the stability of the fixation between the escape-proof net 2 and the granary assembly 11 can be improved, the risk of the escape-proof net 2 falling off or being displaced can be reduced, and the risk of the escape-proof net 2 being disassembled by squirrels and the like can be reduced.
[0045] In some embodiments, the escape-proof net 2 is provided with a plurality of feeding openings 22, one end of each of the feeding openings 22 is in communication with the feeding trough 121, the other end of each of the feeding openings 22 is in communication with the outside, and each of the feeding openings 22 is spaced apart. In this embodiment, by providing a plurality of spaced-apart feeding openings 22, birds can be facilitated to come to feed on the premise of meeting the user's demand for squirrel prevention, and multiple birds can be received to feed at the same time, so that the user can appreciate multiple birds at the same time.
