Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bird bathing basin technology, and in particular to a luminescent glass bird bathing basin. Background Technology

[0002] A bird bathtub is a device specifically designed for birds to help them safely defecate and clean themselves, whether outdoors or indoors. Bathing removes grease, dirt, and parasites from feathers, keeping them soft and shiny, maintaining their health, and helping them fly better. However, existing bird bathtubs have relatively simple structures and functions, and do not have night-lighting capabilities. Since most birds are night-blind, existing bird bathtubs are extremely inconvenient to use at night, resulting in low utilization rates.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN217038452U discloses a bird bath basin, comprising a basin body for holding water. The basin body is characterized by a hollow support tube connected to its bottom. A ceramic infiltrator is located at the bottom of the support tube, with a pointed end. This allows the ceramic infiltrator to be directly inserted into the garden soil. The bottom end of the infiltrator can be used to water plants, while the top retains the original function of the bird bath basin, thus achieving a dual-purpose design and enriching the application of the bird bath basin. However, it lacks a nighttime light-emitting function, making it inconvenient for birds to use at night. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, to address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a luminous glass bird bath tub. It solves the technical problem that existing bird bath tubs lack nighttime lighting, making them inconvenient for birds to use at night.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A luminescent glass bird bath tub includes a support frame, a shell at the top of the support frame, a first light-emitting element at the bottom of the shell, and a detachable hanging bracket at the edge of the shell. The top of the shell is recessed to form a water storage tank, and the interior of the shell is hollow to form a cavity. The bottom of the shell has an installation port that communicates with the cavity. The installation port is detachably equipped with a mounting base. The first light-emitting element is mounted on the mounting base and is located inside the cavity. The light source of the first light-emitting element can be directed towards the water storage tank. The shell is made of a light-transmitting material. The hanging bracket has multiple hooks, and a second light-emitting element is wound around each hook. A solar cell box is connected to the hanging bracket, and the solar cell box supplies power to the first and second light-emitting elements.

[0007] Further:

[0008] The bracket is equipped with a plastic strip, and the solar cell box is connected to the other end of the plastic strip.

[0009] The first light-emitting element is fixed to the mounting base by a magnetic chuck. The mounting base is also provided with an electrical interface. The first light-emitting element is electrically connected to the electrical interface. The solar cell box can be electrically connected to the electrical interface through a wire.

[0010] The solar cell box includes a solar panel, a battery, and a microcontroller. The microcontroller is connected to the solar panel, the battery, a first light-emitting element, and a second light-emitting element. The battery is connected to the solar panel, the first light-emitting element, and the second light-emitting element.

[0011] The solar cell box also includes a photosensor connected to a microcontroller.

[0012] The outer wall of the housing is provided with a groove, and the bracket is annular and is fitted into the groove.

[0013] The bracket includes four support rods and two X-shaped folding rods located between the four support rods. The four ends of the X-shaped folding rods are respectively connected to the support rods. The support rods can be opened and folded along the hinge points of the X-shaped folding rods.

[0014] The first and second light-emitting elements are LED light strips, and the first and second light-emitting elements are provided with multiple LED beads of different colors.

[0015] The mounting port is threaded, and the mounting base is threadedly connected to the mounting port.

[0016] The housing is made of transparent glass or acrylic material.

[0017] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] In this invention, the housing is translucent, and the first light-emitting element is located inside the housing, emitting soft, non-glaring light that is not obstructed, providing a softer and more uniform lighting environment. The mounting base is detachably connected to the mounting opening for easy maintenance and replacement of the first light-emitting element. The second light-emitting element is wrapped around the hanger and hook, providing a brighter and more stable light source that attracts birds to the housing, increasing their willingness to bathe and providing a sense of security during bathing. This creates a safe and comfortable bathing environment for birds, increasing the frequency of use of the bird bathing tub and allowing bird enthusiasts to observe birds bathing at night. A solar panel is also used to power the first and second light-emitting elements. The solar panel is powered by a single unit, making it convenient for outdoor use. Furthermore, the plastic strip can rotate in any direction, allowing the solar panel to absorb more light energy. Furthermore, a photosensor automatically turns the panel on at night and off during the day, saving energy. Furthermore, the mounting bracket is securely fixed in the groove, preventing it from tilting or falling. Furthermore, the bracket has a foldable structure, allowing it to be folded flat, taking up little space and facilitating packaging, transportation, installation, and disassembly. Furthermore, different colored LEDs emit colorful lights, enhancing aesthetics and visual appeal. Furthermore, the mounting base is threaded into the mounting port, making installation and disassembly quick and easy. Attached Figure Description
