[0004] A birdhouse, as an outdoor place to provide breeding and roosting space for birds, consists of a main body with a containment chamber for birds to move around and roost in. In order to protect the birds and prevent them from being harmed by wind, rain or predators, the containment chamber of the main body is closed, leaving only a passage for the birds to enter and exit.

[0005] To facilitate observation of the breeding and roosting of birds within the enclosure, the aviary is equipped with a camera system. The footage captured by the camera system is then wirelessly transmitted to the user, allowing the user to remotely observe the birds in real time or at set intervals. However, in existing aviaries with camera systems, the placement of the camera system overlaps with the birds' living areas. The poor placement of the camera system affects the actual shooting effect, and the placement of the camera system determines the coverage area of ​​the shooting range.

[0006] Furthermore, the placement of the camera components determines the proportion of the bird's living area within the containment chamber; poor placement will result in a waste of the limited space within the containment chamber. Utility Model Content

[0007] This utility model embodiment provides a birdhouse, which mainly solves the technical problem that the poor placement of the camera component affects the utilization rate of the housing space and the shooting effect of the camera component.

[0013] Optionally, the partition plate is provided with a shooting through hole, and at least a portion of the camera assembly is housed in the shooting through hole so that the camera assembly can shoot the living area from the equipment area toward the living area.

[0014] Optionally, the fixing component includes a first fastener that spans the shooting through-hole to secure the camera component to the partition plate.

[0015] Optionally, the main body is provided with a bird inlet for birds to enter and exit the containment cavity; the camera assembly is fixed to the inner wall of the containment cavity, and the shooting direction of the camera assembly is angularly offset from the entry direction of the bird inlet.

[0016] Optionally, the fixing component further includes a second fastener that secures the camera component to the inner wall of the receiving cavity.

[0017] Optionally, the main body includes a top plate, multiple side plates, and a bottom plate, wherein the top plate, the multiple side plates, and the bottom plate together enclose the receiving cavity.

[0046] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more detailed description is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that when an element is described as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly on the other element, or one or more intermediate elements may exist between them.

The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this specification are for illustrative purposes only.

[0047] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The term "and / or" as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0048] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The birdhouse 1000 comprises a main body 1 and a window baffle 2, with the window baffle 2 located on the main body 1. The main body 1 has a housing cavity 11, which serves as a space for birds to breed, roost, and live, providing them with high-quality activity space and effectively solving the problem of lost breeding and roosting space due to environmental destruction. The main body 1 has at least one light-transmitting window 12 communicating with the housing cavity 11, allowing external light to pass through and enter the housing cavity 11. The window baffle 2 blocks or closes the light-transmitting window 12, thus not affecting the birdhouse 1000's function of providing shelter from wind and rain. Furthermore, the window baffle 2 is a light-transmitting baffle, allowing external light to pass through and enter the housing cavity 11, ensuring that the function of increasing the amount of light entering the birdhouse 1000 is not affected. Through the above structure, this embodiment can greatly increase the amount of external light entering the containment cavity 11 by utilizing the cooperation between the window baffle 2 and the light-transmitting window 12 opened on the main body 1, so as to provide sufficient light for the young birds that breed and roost in the birdhouse 1000 and ensure the health of the young birds.

[0049] Understandably, changes in the position of the light-transmitting window 12 on the main body 1 will affect the actual amount of light entering the receiving cavity 11. Therefore, the placement of the light-transmitting window 12 is an important consideration. By carefully adjusting the position of the light-transmitting window 12, the light distribution within the receiving cavity 11 can be optimized, thereby meeting specific lighting requirements or achieving specific visual effects. In this embodiment, the light-transmitting window 12 is located at the top of the main body 1.

[0050] Furthermore, the shape of the window baffle 2 includes, but is not limited to, rectangle, circle, polygon, or other irregular shapes. The shape of the window baffle 2 is adapted to the shape of the main body 1. When the outer surface of the main body 1 is flat, the window baffle 2 is a plate-like structure; when the outer surface of the main body 1 is curved, the window baffle 2 is a curved plate structure adapted to the curved surface.

[0051] The window baffle 2 is used to shield the light-transmitting window 12. The shielding method can be to directly cover the light-transmitting window 12 or to maintain a certain distance from the light-transmitting window 12. It can shield the light-transmitting window 12 for waterproofing and rain protection. For example, it can be set above or to the side of the light-transmitting window 12 at a certain distance. The shielding range of the window baffle 2 is larger than the size of the light-transmitting window 12. This method can also provide a way for the receiving cavity 11 to communicate with the external environment.

[0052] It should be noted that when the window baffle 2 is a light-transmitting baffle, due to the light-transmitting characteristics of the window baffle 2, the materials that can be selected for the window baffle 2 include, but are not limited to: glass, plastic, light-transmitting stone, light-transmitting wood, and light-transmitting film. For example, in this embodiment, the material of the window baffle 2 is glass or plastic.

[0053] Considering that when the light-transmitting window 12 is located at the top of the main body 1, the young birds inside the birdhouse 1000 may find it difficult to withstand the high intensity of external light during the long hours of summer sunshine. Therefore, various methods can be used to soften the light. For example, the window baffle 2 can be coated with a light-softening layer, which may include, but is not limited to, an anti-ultraviolet coating, a heat-reflective glass coating, a low-emissivity glass coating, or a conductive film glass coating. The specific coating can be chosen based on actual needs and will not be elaborated here. Alternatively, the window baffle 2 can be made of a semi-transparent material. Utilizing the properties of semi-transparency, the external light passing through the window baffle 2 can be softened, reducing glare and making the light entering the housing cavity 11 softer and more natural. Of course, in some embodiments, the window baffle 2 is selected as a diffuser, making the external light entering the housing cavity 11 softer, similar to the effect of tree branches blocking the light during natural nesting. This can filter ultraviolet rays, providing a good environment for birds to live and breed, and also facilitating the photography and recording of birds' lives and breeding.

[0054] Understandably, the light-transmitting window 12 includes a first through-hole communicating with the receiving cavity 11, or the light-transmitting window 12 includes multiple second through-holes communicating with the receiving cavity 11. For example, when the light-transmitting window 12 is preferably a first through-hole, the first through-hole is located at the top of the body 1; when the light-transmitting window 12 is preferably multiple second windows, one second through-hole is located at the top of the body 1, and the remaining second through-holes are located on the side of the body 1.

[0055] In some embodiments, the window baffle 2 may also be made of a material with adjustable light transmittance, such as smart glass. The light transmittance of this type of window baffle 2 is inversely proportional to the light intensity, and the window baffle 2 can adaptively adjust according to the intensity of the external ambient light. Specifically, this means that the higher the intensity of the external light, the weaker the light transmittance of the window baffle 2; the weaker the intensity of the external light, the stronger the light transmittance of the window baffle 2, thereby ensuring that the light intensity in the containment cavity 11 is within a controllable range, providing a comfortable activity space for birds within the containment cavity 11.

[0056] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The birdhouse 1000 includes a camera component 3, whose field of view covers the containment cavity 11. The camera component 3 is used to capture images and videos of birds moving within the containment cavity 11. Furthermore, the camera component 3 can communicate with external devices to send the captured bird images to other devices (referring to mobile phones, computers, and any device capable of displaying images via the internet) for users to view on other devices. Since the light intensity inside the sealed containment cavity 11 is insufficient, affecting the shooting effect of the camera component 3, the light-transmitting window 12 in this embodiment allows light passing through it to illuminate the supplementary lighting area of ​​the camera component 3. The light-transmitting window 12 introduces external light into the containment cavity 11 to supplement the lighting of the camera component 3, thereby improving its shooting effect. Furthermore, the light-transmitting window 12 located at the top minimizes the shadow area of ​​bird activity, improving the presentation of the captured bird images.

[0057] Understandably, the methods by which the window baffle 2 blocks the light-transmitting window 12 include, but are not limited to, directly covering or laying it in a trench.

[0058] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The main body 1 is provided with a receiving groove 13. The height difference between the outer and inner walls of the receiving groove 13 is the thickness of the aforementioned window baffle 2. The light-transmitting window 12 is located at the bottom of the receiving groove 13. The window baffle 2 is received in the receiving groove 13 to cover the light-transmitting window 12. The outer surface of the window baffle 2 facing away from the receiving groove 13 is flush with the outer surface of the main body 1. By making the outer surface of the window baffle 2 flush with the outer surface of the main body 1, the overall appearance of the birdhouse 1000 is more regular, improving the aesthetics of the birdhouse 1000. Furthermore, the flush setting can also prevent rainwater, debris, etc. from accumulating at the junction of the window baffle 2 and the main body 1, reducing the risk of water leakage. Moreover, dust and other debris falling on the top of the birdhouse 1000 can be carried away by rainwater on the flush surface, saving cleaning steps and reducing the frequency of cleaning.

[0059] The shape of the window baffle 2 is adapted to the shape of the receiving groove 13 so that when the window baffle 2 is received in the receiving groove 13, the receiving groove 13 can accurately limit the window baffle 2. The adapted window baffle 2 and the receiving groove 13 make the main body 1 present a unified appearance, which improves the aesthetics of the birdhouse 1000. The adapted window baffle 2 and the receiving groove 13 also ensure the gap between the two, which facilitates the waterproofing operation later.

[0060] Furthermore, to prevent rainwater from entering the receiving cavity 11 through the gap between the window baffle 2 and the bottom of the receiving groove 13, in some embodiments, the window baffle 2 is also provided with a waterproof adhesive layer 21. The waterproof adhesive layer 21 is disposed between the window baffle 2 and the bottom of the receiving groove 13. The waterproof adhesive layer 21 is used to bond the window baffle 2 to the bottom of the receiving groove 13. Relying on the adhesiveness and waterproof properties of the waterproof adhesive layer 21, the waterproofness of the birdhouse 1000 is improved.

[0061] In some other embodiments, the main body 1 is provided with a sealing groove (not shown). The sealing groove is arranged around the light-transmitting window 12 and surrounds the light-transmitting window 12, that is, the side length of the sealing groove is greater than the side length of the light-transmitting window 12. The sealing groove is located at the bottom of the receiving groove 13 and surrounds the bottom of the receiving groove 13. When assembling the window baffle 2, glue is poured into the sealing groove. The glue is contained in the sealing groove to prevent the glue from flowing through the light-transmitting window 12 and entering the receiving cavity 11 during the pouring of glue, which increases the step of cleaning the glue. Moreover, due to the setting of the sealing groove, the flow of glue can be constrained, thereby making the glue pouring distribution uniform and improving the sealing performance.

[0062] It should be noted that the waterproof adhesive layer 21 can be directly exposed to external light, therefore the waterproof adhesive layer 21 needs to have weather resistance and UV protection capabilities.

[0063] When the window baffle 2 is housed within the receiving groove 13, a gap exists between the window baffle 2 and the side wall of the receiving groove 13. External rainwater may seep into this gap through accumulation. Prolonged immersion of the waterproof adhesive layer 21 in this gap will cause it to age rapidly, affecting its waterproof performance. For some embodiments, please refer to... Figure 1 The window baffle 2 is also provided with a sealing layer 22, which is located between the window baffle 2 and the side wall of the receiving groove 13. The side wall of the window baffle 2 and the receiving groove 13 together hold the sealing layer 22, thereby preventing external rainwater from seeping into the gap between the window baffle 2 and the side wall of the receiving groove 13, extending the service life of the waterproof adhesive layer 21, and improving the waterproof performance of the birdhouse 1000.

[0064] The camera assembly 3 requires significant power for both shooting and data transmission. To improve the battery life of the camera assembly 3 and reduce the frequency of battery replacement or charging, in this embodiment, the birdhouse 1000 also includes a power supply assembly 4. The power supply assembly 4 includes, but is not limited to, a solar panel, an external energy storage battery, a direct power supply, or a replaceable rechargeable battery. For example, in this embodiment, the power supply assembly 4 is a solar panel, spaced apart from the light-transmitting window 12, and electrically connected to the camera assembly 3. The solar panel provides power to the camera assembly 3, and sunlight is converted into electrical energy through the solar panel, which is a clean energy source, thus enhancing the birdhouse 1000's environmental friendliness.

[0065] The camera component 3 is a commonly used device in the prior art, so its structure and function will not be described in detail here.

[0066] The existing birdhouse 1000 structure is usually closed in order to protect the young birds, with only the bird entrance 14 for the birds to enter and exit. The bird entrance 14 is used to communicate and ventilate the containment chamber 11 with the external environment and dissipate heat. This is too inefficient, resulting in polluted air, low oxygen concentration and poor air quality inside the birdhouse 1000, which is not good for the health of birds that live in this environment for a long time.

[0067] To significantly enhance the ventilation efficiency and airflow of the Birdhouse 1000, an optimized airflow channel structure was specially designed in this embodiment. Please refer to the attached document for details. Figure 3 The main body 1 is provided with an air inlet 15 and an air outlet 16. Both the air inlet 15 and the air outlet 16 are connected to the receiving cavity 11. The air inlet 15 is located at the bottom of the main body 1, and the air outlet 16 is located at the top of the main body 1. Since the weight of hot air is less than that of cold air, the air outlet 16 located at the top of the main body 1 allows hot air to be discharged from the air outlet 16. The air inlet 15 located at the bottom of the main body 1 facilitates the inflow of cold air from the air inlet 15, thus forming an airflow channel from bottom to top. Cold air is drawn in from the air inlet 15 at the bottom. As the temperature gradually rises and the air is naturally convectioned, this cold air circulates in the receiving cavity 11 and helps to cool down, and then turns into hot air. Subsequently, this hot air rises naturally under the action of buoyancy and is finally discharged smoothly through the air outlet 16 at the top. By utilizing the principles of thermodynamics, the birdhouse 1000, equipped with air inlets 15 and air outlets 16, forms an efficient and natural ventilation system, which greatly improves the air quality and living comfort within the containment chamber 11.

[0068] It should be noted that the number of air outlets 16 is greater than or equal to one. When there is only one air outlet, the air inlet 15 and the air outlet 16 are diagonally distributed in the main body 1 to maximize the airflow path in the receiving cavity 11 and ensure the optimal ventilation effect of the birdhouse 1000. When there are two air outlets 16, the two air outlets 16 are arranged adjacently or opposite each other to improve the ventilation efficiency of the birdhouse 1000. When the two air outlets 16 are arranged opposite each other, the air inside the main body 1 forms convection, further increasing the ventilation efficiency.

[0069] For subject 1 mentioned above, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The main body 1 includes a top plate 1a, multiple side plates 1b and a bottom plate 1c, which together enclose a receiving cavity 11.

[0070] Furthermore, the angle between the top plate 1a and the bottom plate 1c is an acute angle, which makes the top plate 1a inclined relative to the bottom plate 1c, thus making the volume of the space inside the receiving cavity 11, especially the top space, linearly converge. The inclined top plate 1a allows the light-transmitting window 12 to receive sunlight for a longer period of time, and the inclined top plate 1a facilitates the flow of rainwater, preventing rainwater from accumulating on the top of the main body 1, or even on the transparent baffle, which would affect the passage of external light.

[0071] Understandably, the enclosure connection methods of the top plate 1a, multiple side plates 1b, and bottom plate 1c include, but are not limited to, mortise and tenon joints, screw connections, snap-fit ​​connections, and fixing with fasteners 7. For example, in this embodiment, a screw connection is used for enclosure connection, reducing the processing cost of the birdhouse 1000 and enhancing its market competitiveness.

[0072] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the bottom plate 1c and the lower part of any side plate 1b are spaced apart to form an air inlet 15, so that the location of the air inlet 15 at the bottom of the birdhouse 1000 is selectable, meeting the customization needs of different users. Because of the spaced arrangement, the air inlet 15 is naturally formed during the assembly process of the birdhouse 1000, eliminating the need for separate processing steps, thus improving the processing efficiency of the birdhouse 1000 and reducing its manufacturing cost. And / or, the top plate 1a and the upper part of any side plate 1b are spaced apart to form an air outlet 16, so that the location of the air outlet 16 at the side of the birdhouse 1000 is selectable, meeting the customization needs of different users. Because of the spaced arrangement, the air outlet 16 is naturally formed during the assembly process of the birdhouse 1000, eliminating the need for separate processing steps, thus improving the processing efficiency of the birdhouse 1000 and reducing its manufacturing cost. This constitutes a birdhouse 1000 with one air outlet 16.

[0073] To facilitate the regular cleaning of waste inside the birdhouse 1000, such as nests built by birds using twigs and other objects, and bird droppings, the main body 1 needs to be provided with an opening that can be opened, including but not limited to: top opening, side opening, or bottom opening. For example, in this embodiment, any one of the multiple side panels 1b is rotatable relative to the other side panels 1b. Specifically, each side panel 1b has a rotating part 1b1 on both sides, and the two side panels 1b directly connected to this side panel 1b each have a rotating hole 1b2. The rotating part 1b1 is received within the rotating hole 1b2, so that the rotating part 1b1 rotates relative to the rotating hole 1b2, thereby driving the side panel 1b with the rotating part 1b1 to rotate. This configuration allows the side panels 1b to be rotated and opened, facilitating the user's cleaning of waste inside the birdhouse 1000.

[0074] It is understood that the connection methods between the rotating part 1b1 and the side plate 1b include, but are not limited to: the rotating part 1b1 and the side plate 1b being integrally formed, or the rotating part 1b1 being detachably disposed on the side plate 1b, etc. For example, in this embodiment, please refer to... Figure 4 The rotating part 1b1 is detachably mounted on the rotatable side plate 1b. One end of the rotating part 1b1 is inserted into the insertion hole 1b3 of the rotatable side plate 1b, and the other end is inserted into the rotation hole 1b2. One end of the rotating part 1b1 is interference-fitted with the rotatable side plate 1b, while the other end can rotate relative to the rotation hole 1b2. This rotating design allows the rotatable side plate 1b to open faster and is more convenient to operate, improving the user experience of the Birdhouse 1000 during cleaning.

[0075] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the air inlet 15 is disposed between the rotatable side plate 1b and the bottom plate 1c. The air inlet 15 not only allows airflow to pass through, but also provides movement space for the rotation operation of the rotatable side plate 1b, avoiding collision between the side plate 1b and the bottom plate 1c during rotation.

[0076] Furthermore, to facilitate the rotation of the rotatable side plate 1b, the rotatable side plate 1b and the top plate 1a are spaced apart to form an air outlet 16 structure similar to that described above. These air outlets 16 provide rotation space for the rotatable side plate 1b, preventing collisions between the side plate 1b and the top plate 1a, while also providing a new airflow channel for the airflow within the housing cavity 11 of the birdhouse 1000, further improving the ventilation efficiency of the birdhouse 1000. This constitutes a birdhouse 1000 with two air outlets 16.

[0077] Furthermore, in order to prevent the rotatable side plate 1b from rotating too much and compressing the space of the receiving cavity 11, please refer to 1. The inner wall of the receiving cavity 11 is provided with a limiting part 11'. The limiting part 11' is used to limit the rotation angle of the rotatable side plate 1b, and when the rotatable side plate 1b closes the receiving cavity 11, the rotatable side plate 1b abuts against the limiting part 11'.

[0078] Furthermore, to prevent birds from colliding with the rotatable side panel 1b while moving within the containment chamber 11, thus avoiding accidental rotation of the rotatable side panel 1b, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 In some embodiments, the birdhouse 1000 further includes a locking member 5, which is rotatably disposed on the side plate 1b provided with the rotating part 1b1, so as to lock or unlock the side plate 1b provided with the rotating part 1b1 with other side plates 1b or the top plate 1a.

[0079] Understandably, while locking the rotatable side plate 1b, the locking member 5 can also limit the rotation angle of the rotatable side plate 1b, so that the birdhouse 1000 does not need to be equipped with a limiting part 11', and can limit the rotation angle of the rotatable side plate 1b by relying solely on the connection between the locking member 5 and other side plates 1b or top plate 1a.

[0080] For the locking element 5 mentioned above, please refer to... Figure 2 The locking member 5 includes a rotating part 51 and a locking part 52. The locking member 5 is L-shaped. The rotating part 51 is rotatably disposed on the side plate 1b on which the rotating part 1b1 is disposed, thereby driving the locking part 52 to rotate. A locking groove 1b4 is provided on any side plate 1b adjacent to the side plate 1b on which the rotating part 1b1 is disposed. The locking part 52 can be received in the locking groove 1b4, and the state of the side plate 1b on which the rotating part 1b1 is disposed can be determined according to whether the locking part 52 is received in the locking groove 1b4, as follows:

[0081] When the locking member 5 rotates to the preset first position, the locking part 52 is received in the locking groove 1b4. The locking part 52 restricts the rotation of the side plate 1b with the rotating part 1b1 to prevent birds from colliding with the side plate 1b with the rotating part 1b1 when moving in the containment cavity 11, which would cause the containment cavity 11 to be opened accidentally. When the locking member 5 rotates to the preset second position, the locking part 52 is pulled out from the locking groove 1b4. The locking part 52 removes the restriction on the side plate 1b with the rotating part 1b1, and the user can easily open the containment cavity 11 and clean up the waste in the containment cavity 11.

[0082] Furthermore, to facilitate user rotation of the side plate 1b equipped with the rotating part 1b1, please refer to... Figure 2In some embodiments, the side plate 1b with the rotating part 1b1 is provided with a clearance opening 1b5 for latching, allowing the user to insert their fingers or tools into the clearance opening 1b5 to rotate the side plate 1b with the rotating part 1b1. The clearance opening 1b5 also communicates with the receiving cavity 11, allowing the receiving cavity 11 to communicate with the external environment through the clearance opening 1b5, thereby assisting in the ventilation of the receiving cavity 11.

[0083] It is understood that in some embodiments, handles, pull rings, pull ropes, etc. can be provided to facilitate user operation. Specific settings and related structures will not be described in detail.

[0084] The birdhouse 1000 equipped with camera component 3 has a working area that overlaps with the living area of ​​the birds. The presence of camera component 3 not only affects the birds' activities in the containment chamber 11, but also causes great disturbance to the birds when camera component 3 needs to be disassembled or reassembled. Furthermore, there is a high probability that the birds will accidentally touch camera component 3 during their activities, causing damage to camera component 3 or affecting the shooting effect of camera component 3.

[0085] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The birdhouse 1000 includes a partition 6 disposed within a housing cavity 11. The partition 6 divides the housing cavity 11 into a living area 11A for birds and an equipment area 11B for housing the camera assembly 3. The living area 11A and equipment area 11B are separated by the partition 6, thus achieving a reasonable physical division of the housing cavity 11, improving its tidiness. Furthermore, the partition 6 prevents birds in the living area 11A from accidentally bumping into the camera assembly 3 and affecting its recording, and also conceals the camera assembly 3 within the equipment area 11B, reducing disturbance to the birds and providing a more comfortable and stable living space. The partition 6 has a through-hole 61 for the camera assembly 3 to film the birds in the living area 11A. The camera assembly 3 films the birds in the living area 11A through the through-hole 61, greatly reducing the disturbance to the birds from potentially bright areas such as indicator lights on the camera assembly 3.

[0086] Understandably, in order to reduce the disturbance of birds to the camera component 3, the material of the partition 6 should be selected as an opaque material to prevent the light of the indicator light of the camera component 3 from being transmitted to the living area 11A. That is, the partition 6 is preferably an opaque partition 6.

[0087] Furthermore, to facilitate ventilation within the containment chamber 11 and heat dissipation for the camera assembly 3, the partition plate 6 is provided with a ventilation hole 62. The ventilation hole 62 connects the living area 11A and the equipment area 11B, allowing airflow between them. The air inlet 15 at the bottom of the main body 1, the ventilation hole 62, and the air outlet 16 at the top of the main body 1 together form an upward airflow channel. External cold air enters through the air inlet 15, cooling the birds in the living area 11A. After warming, the cold air becomes hot air, which rises naturally under buoyancy. It then passes through the ventilation hole 62 and enters the equipment area 11B. The hot air in the equipment area 11B continues to rise naturally under buoyancy and finally exits through the air outlet 16, forming a complete ventilation system. Due to the presence of the partition 6, heat transfer from the equipment area 11B to the living area 11A is prevented, thus ensuring that the temperature of the living area 11A remains lower than that of the equipment area 11B. Furthermore, the camera module 3 located in the equipment area 11B continuously emits heat into the surrounding environment during long-term operation, resulting in a higher temperature in the equipment area 11B compared to the living area 11A. Therefore, the camera module 3 in the equipment area 11B can be considered a "heat pump." This "heat pump" continuously heats the air in the equipment area 11B and exhausts it through the air outlet, thereby driving air from the living area 11A into the equipment area 11B. This forms an efficient ventilation system, which improves the air quality and living comfort of the birds in the containment chamber 11, while also providing real-time cooling for the camera module 3, ensuring its stable operation.

[0088] Understandably, there are at least two ventilation holes 62, and the two ventilation holes 62 are located at both ends of the partition plate 6, which facilitates the reduction of resistance when the airflow flows along the inner wall of the main body 1. Of course, the ventilation holes 62 can also be omitted, and the air can be discharged through the clearance port 1b5 and the air outlet 15 formed by the side plate 1b with the rotating part 1b1 and the top plate 1a. The hot air in the receiving cavity 11 can be successfully discharged without the ventilation holes 62.

[0089] It should be noted that the partition plate 6 can be disposed in the receiving cavity 11 in a manner including but not limited to: a fixed manner, a detachable manner, or an integrated manner. For example, in this embodiment, the partition plate 6 is disposed in the receiving cavity 11 in a fixed manner.

[0090] For details, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5The birdhouse 1000 includes a fixing member 7 and multiple screw connectors 8. The fixing member 7 is L-shaped and includes a first fixing part 71 and a second fixing part 72. The first fixing part 71 is provided with a first screw hole 711, and a screw connector 8 passes through the first screw hole 711 and is screwed to the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11. The second fixing part 72 is provided with a second screw hole 721, and another screw connector 8 passes through the second screw hole 721 and is screwed to the partition plate 6. One screw connector 8 passes through the first screw hole 711 and is screwed to a side plate 1b, and another screw connector 8 passes through the second screw hole 721 and is screwed to the partition plate 6, thereby fixing one end of the partition plate 6 to the side plate 1b.

[0091] Understandably, in order to ensure that the partition plate 6 can be stably fixed to the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11, the number of fasteners 7 is at least two. One fastener 7 fixes one end of the partition plate 6 to one side plate 1b, and the other fastener 7 fixes the opposite end of the partition plate 6 to the opposite side plate 1b. That is, in this embodiment, one fastener 7 fixes one end of the partition plate 6 to the second plate 1b7, and the other fastener 7 fixes the opposite end of the partition plate 6 to the fourth plate 1b9.

[0092] It should be noted that the number of fasteners 7 is greater than or equal to two. The specific number needs to be selected after comprehensively considering factors such as the actual location of the partition plate 6, the length of the partition plate 6, and the size of the fasteners 7. For example, when the length of the partition plate 6 is long, four fasteners 7 can be used. The four fasteners 7 are located at the four opposite corners of the same surface of the partition plate 6, so that the stress distribution of the partition plate 6 is more uniform. In addition, the partition plate 6 can also be regarded as a "reinforcing plate" in the birdhouse 1000, improving the overall structural strength of the birdhouse 1000.

[0093] Furthermore, in order to protect the health of the birds in the living area 11A, the fastener 7 is located on the surface of the partition 6 facing away from the living area 11A to avoid the fastener 7 and the screw 8 scratching the birds.

[0094] In other embodiments, the partition plate 6 is installed in the receiving cavity 11 by a plug-in connection. Specifically, both ends of the partition plate 6 include plug-in portions (not shown); the side wall of the receiving cavity 11 is provided with plug-in grooves (not shown), and the plug-in portions are received in the plug-in grooves. That is, both opposite side plates 1b are provided with plug-in grooves. During the assembly of the birdhouse 1000, the plug-in portion of one end of the partition plate is inserted into one plug-in groove, and the plug-in portion of the other end of the partition plate is inserted into the other plug-in groove, thereby clamping and fixing the partition plate 6 together by the two side plates 1b. This achieves a fixing structure for the partition plate 6 without fasteners 7, improving the aesthetics of the living area 11A and the equipment area 11B.

[0095] Furthermore, to ensure that the living area 11A has a sufficiently large space, in some embodiments, the partition plate 6 is inclined relative to the top of the main body 1 to separate the receiving cavity 11, and the boundary of the living area 11A does not exceed the field of view of the camera component. This arrangement of the partition plate 6 maximizes the space utilization within the receiving cavity 11, and the inclined structure relative to the top of the main body 1 allows the camera component 3 to shoot directly into the living area 11A, maximizing the overlap between the field of view of the camera component 3 and the space of the living area 11A. This maximizes the shooting range of the camera component 3, avoiding the waste of space caused by useless areas within the birdhouse 1000. This compact and highly space-efficient arrangement reduces the overall volume of the birdhouse 1000, making it easier to place in areas with limited space. It also reduces the weight of the birdhouse 1000, lowering the risk of it falling from its fixed position.

[0096] It should be noted that the tilt angle of the partition plate 6 relative to the top of the main body 1 needs to be comprehensively considered in conjunction with factors such as the actual shape of the birdhouse 1000, the field of view of the camera component 3, and the depth of the living area 11A. For example, when the angle between the top plate 1a and the bottom plate 1c is an acute angle, the tilt angle between the partition plate 6 and the top plate 1a is in the range of 50° to 75°.

[0097] For the multiple side plates 1b mentioned above, please refer to... Figure 1 The multiple side panels 1b include a first panel 1b6, a second panel 1b7, a third panel 1b8, and a fourth panel 1b9. The partition plate 6 is connected to the second panel 1b7 and the fourth panel 1b9. The first panel 1b6 and the third panel 1b8 are arranged opposite to each other, and the second panel 1b7 and the fourth panel 1b9 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0098] It is understandable that the number of side plates 1b is not limited to four; it can also be three or any positive integer greater than three. The specific structure will not be described in detail here, as long as it can be ensured that it can be combined with the top plate 1a and the bottom plate 1c to form the receiving cavity 11.

[0099] Based on the structure of the multiple side plates 1b described above, in this embodiment, one fixing member 7 is fixed to the second plate 1b7, and the other fixing member 7 is fixed to the fourth plate 1b9; or one insertion slot is provided in the second plate 1b7, and the other insertion slot is provided in the fourth plate 1b9. The side plate 1b with the rotating part 1b1 is represented by the first plate 1b6, and the second plate 1b7 and the fourth plate 1b9 are also respectively provided with rotating holes 1b2.

[0100] Furthermore, for easier handling of camera component 3, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 6The main body 1 is provided with an installation window 17 for placing and removing the camera component 3. The installation window 17 is connected to the equipment area 11B, that is, the installation window 17 is connected to the receiving cavity 11. The third plate 1b8 includes a first sub-plate 1b81 and a second sub-plate 1b82. The first sub-plate 1b81 is rotatably disposed between the second plate 1b7 and the third plate 1b8, and is spaced apart from the top plate 1a to form the aforementioned air outlet 16. The first sub-plate 1b81 covers the installation window 17. Depending on the rotation position of the first sub-plate 1b81, the installation window 17 has two states: when the first sub-plate 1b81 rotates to a preset third position, the first sub-plate 1b81 covers the installation window 17; when the first sub-plate 1b81 rotates to a preset fourth position, the installation window 17 is open, and the user can remove the camera component 3 from the equipment area 11B through the installation window 17 for data transmission, battery replacement, maintenance, and other operations.

[0101] This is understandable; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 6 To prevent the first partition plate 1b81 from being accidentally opened due to external forces such as vibration, the locking member used to lock the side plate 1b can also be applied to the first partition plate 1b81. For details on the structure and function of the locking member, please refer to the above embodiments; they will not be repeated here. Correspondingly, the side plate 1b adjacent to the first partition plate 1b81 is also provided with a locking groove 1b4 that matches the locking member, so that the locking member and the locking groove 1b4 can cooperate to control the rotation of the first partition plate 1b81.

[0102] Furthermore, to prevent the first partition plate 1b81 from rotating too much, the space in equipment area 11B is compressed. Please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 1 The inner wall of the receiving cavity 11 may also be provided with a limiting block 11”. When the first partition plate 1b81 rotates to the preset third position, the first partition plate 1b81 abuts against the limiting block 11” and covers the installation window 17.

[0103] Furthermore, to facilitate user rotation of the first partition plate 1b81, the first partition plate 1b81 is provided with a latching groove, which communicates with the receiving cavity 11, allowing the user's fingers or tools to be inserted into the latching groove, thereby driving the first partition plate 1b81 to rotate. The latching groove is located at the connection point between the first partition plate 1b81 and the top plate 1a. In some embodiments, the latching groove combines with the air outlet 16 formed by the first partition plate 1b81 and the top plate 1a to form a slotted structure, serving both ventilation and user-operated latching functions.

[0104] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the birdhouse 1000 is irregularly shaped. Specifically, the top plate 1a forms an obtuse angle with the first plate 1b6, the first plate 1b6 forms an acute angle with the bottom plate 1c, the third plate 1b8 forms a right angle with the bottom plate 1c, and the top plate 1a forms an acute angle with the third plate 1b8. For example, the angle between the top plate 1a and the first plate 1b6 is 120°, the angle between the first plate 1b6 and the bottom plate 1c is 75°, the angle between the third plate 1b8 and the bottom plate 1c is 90°, and the angle between the top plate 1a and the third plate 1b8 is 90°. By setting the birdhouse 1000 to an irregular shape, the angle of inclination of the top plate 1a is perpendicular to the angle of sunlight, allowing more sunlight to enter the main body 1, providing sunlight for birds to live, breed, and roost. Furthermore, the irregular shape of the birdhouse 1000 enhances its overall aesthetic appeal. It is understood that the shape of the birdhouse 1000 does not have to be irregular; for example, it can be a square, a rectangle, or other shapes. This utility model does not specifically limit the shape of the birdhouse 1000.

[0105] Furthermore, when the Birdhouse 1000 adopts the aforementioned angled arrangement, please refer to [the relevant documentation / reference]. Figure 1 The main body 1 also includes a partition plate 9, which is set at an angle to the partition plate 6. For example, the angle between the partition plate 9 and the partition plate 6 is set to 90°. The partition plate 9 can support the partition plate 6. By setting the partition plate 6 and the partition plate 9 at an angle, the camera assembly 3 can be fixed at the optimal angle for filming the living area 11A, allowing bird lovers and animal conservationists to observe birds living and breeding from the best viewing angle. Moreover, by setting the partition plate 6 and the partition plate 9 at an angle, the space required to install the camera assembly 3 can be reduced, and the space in the living and breeding area can be increased, providing a comfortable living, breeding, and roosting environment for birds.

[0106] It should be noted that the partition plate 9 may not be required; instead, the partition plate 6 can be fixed together by the second plate 1b7 and the fourth plate 1b9.

[0107] There are currently two main ways to allow birds to enter and exit the birdhouse 1000: one is to open a bird entrance 14 in the main body 1, and the other is to open one of the side panels 1b of the birdhouse 1000 to form an open window for birds to enter and exit. However, the open window lacks sufficient concealment and provides less protection for the birds inside the birdhouse 1000. Furthermore, the bird entrance 14 in the birdhouse 1000 has a fixed size, allowing only birds of a preset size to enter and exit. When users have a need to select birds based on their size, the fixed bird entrance 14 cannot be used.

[0108] To resolve the above issues, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 7 and Figure 8The birdhouse 1000 in this embodiment also includes a bird inlet assembly 1A. The main body 1 is provided with a bird inlet 14 for birds to enter and exit the reception cavity 11. The bird inlet assembly 1A is detachably mounted on the main body 1. The bird inlet assembly 1A has a bird inlet window 1A1 and the bird inlet window 1A1 communicates with the bird inlet 14. This detachable design allows users to select birds based on their size by replacing the bird inlet assembly 1A with bird inlet windows 1A1 of different sizes. This detachable design is convenient and quick to operate. Furthermore, the detachable bird inlet assembly 1A means that when users need to observe different birds, they only need to replace the bird inlet assembly 1A, eliminating the need to purchase the entire birdhouse 1000, thus reducing operating costs.

[0109] It should be noted that different bird inlet components 1A are provided with bird inlet windows 1A1 of different sizes. Users can choose to replace them according to their actual needs. The size of the bird inlet window 1A1 of the bird inlet component 1A is smaller than the size of the bird inlet 14, so as to ensure that birds can enter the containment cavity 11 through the bird inlet window 1A1 after replacing different bird inlet components 1A.

[0110] Understandably, the bird inlet assembly 1A can be detachably installed in at least one of the following ways: screw connection, snap connection, magnetic attraction, so as to facilitate detachment from the main body 1.

[0111] For example, in this embodiment, the bird inlet assembly 1A is provided with an external thread (not shown); the inner wall of the bird inlet 14 is provided with an internal thread (not shown), and the external thread and the internal thread are screwed together to facilitate the screwing of the bird inlet assembly 1A to the main body 1. It can be understood that this screwed connection method has strong connection stability, and the bird inlet assembly 1A can be disassembled and assembled simply by screwing the external thread and the internal thread together, without the need for auxiliary tools, making the operation convenient.

[0112] Alternatively, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 The bird inlet assembly 1A includes a fixing ring 1A2 and an elastic layer 1A3. The elastic layer 1A3 is provided with a retractable elastic window 1A31. The elastic window 1A31 can elastically deform under external force, thereby making the size of the window adjustable. The elastic window 1A31 is connected to the bird inlet 14, and the fixing ring 1A2 presses the elastic layer 1A3 against the periphery of the bird inlet 14. The elastic window 1A31 allows the birdhouse 1000 to be adjusted according to the body size of different birds, thereby improving the versatility and practicality of the birdhouse 1000 and providing a safe and comfortable living environment for birds.

[0113] It is understood that the fixing ring 1A2 can be fixed to the main body 1 in ways including but not limited to: screw connection, snap connection, etc. For example, in this embodiment, the fixing ring 1A2 is screwed. The fixing ring 1A2 is provided with a screw hole 1A21. The main body 1 is provided with a screw through hole 18 around the periphery of the bird inlet 14. The elastic layer 1A3 is provided with a through hole 1A32. The screw connector 8 passes through the screw through hole 18, the through hole 1A32 and the screw hole 1A21 to fix the fixing ring 1A2 and the elastic layer 1A3 to the main body 1.

[0114] In some embodiments, in order to capture the actions of birds entering and leaving the aviary 1000 for observation and research by animal lovers and scholars, a camera component 3 is provided around the bird entry window 1A1. The camera component 3 can capture images in real time, or it can be used with corresponding sensing devices (such as infrared sensors, liveness detection devices, etc.) to activate the camera component 3 when it is determined that an animal is approaching. The video or image data captured by the camera component 3 can also be transmitted to the device of an external user at regular intervals or in real time.

[0115] In some embodiments, the bird inlet assembly 1A is fixed by magnetic attraction. Specifically, the bird inlet assembly 1A further includes a window (not shown), a first magnetic attractor (not shown), and a second magnetic attractor (not shown). The first magnetic attractor is fixed to the periphery of the bird inlet 14, and the second magnetic attractor is fixed to the window. The first and second magnetic attractors are attracted to each other. The attraction between the first and second magnetic attractors allows for quick and convenient disassembly or installation of the window, improving the ease of replacement for the bird inlet assembly 1A.

[0116] For the bird inlet component 1A described above, the available shapes include, but are not limited to, round, square, flower-shaped, or any graphic that can enhance aesthetics and recognizability. For example, in this embodiment, the bird inlet component 1A is square, which facilitates gripping by the user during assembly or clamping by fixtures during mass production.

[0117] Furthermore, the shapes of the bird entrance 14 and the bird entrance window 1A1 need to be compatible to maximize the space utilization of the bird entrance 14 and the bird entrance window 1A1. The shapes of the bird entrance 14 and the bird entrance window 1A1 include, but are not limited to, circular, square, and oval openings. For example, in this embodiment, both the bird entrance 14 and the bird entrance window 1A1 are circular openings to avoid the corners of the bird entrance window 1A1 causing scratches or other damage to passing birds. In addition, the circular bird entrance window 1A1 and the bird entrance 14 are adapted to the body size of birds, making it convenient for birds to enter. This design reduces obstacles for birds when entering and improves their convenience in entering the birdhouse 1000.

[0118] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8The bird inlet assembly 1A has a metal protective layer 1A4 on its outer layer to protect it from woodpeckers or other animals, thereby extending its service life.

[0119] For the convenience of birds moving within the birdhouse 1000 to enter and exit through the bird entrance 14, please refer to Figure 7 In this embodiment, the birdhouse 1000 is also provided with a climbing component 1B, which is housed in the receiving cavity 11. Specifically, the climbing component 1B is disposed on the inner wall of the main body 1 and the receiving cavity 11. That is, in this embodiment, the climbing component 1B is disposed on the side plate 1b, and the climbing component 1B is used for birds to climb.

[0120] It should be noted that the climbing component 1B is arranged adjacent to the bird inlet 14 so that birds can climb from the containment chamber 11 to the bird inlet 14.

[0121] Regarding the climbing component 1B mentioned above, it is understood that the climbing component 1B includes, but is not limited to, any one or more combinations of climbing nets, climbing poles, and climbing grooves.

[0122] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 The climbing component 1B includes multiple strip grooves 1B1. The inner wall of the receiving cavity 11 is provided with multiple grooves to form the strip grooves 1B1. That is, the side plate 1b is provided with multiple grooves facing the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11. These grooves can be directly processed when cutting the side plate 1b.

[0123] It should be noted that the width of the groove is at least greater than the diameter of the bird inlet 14 to ensure that the bird has enough foothold, and the depth of the groove is sufficient to allow the tip of the bird's toe to extend into the groove and have a point of support.

[0124] In other embodiments, the climbing assembly 1B includes a plurality of climbing rods (not shown) disposed on the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11, with the climbing rods spaced apart to allow the bird's toes to pass through, so that the bird's toes have enough space to grasp.

[0125] Regarding the climbing poles mentioned above, it is understandable that the diameter of the climbing poles needs to be adapted to the bird's toes so that the bird's toes can grip them smoothly.

[0126] Specifically, the climbing pole includes a climbing section and a fixing section disposed at both ends of the climbing section. One end of the fixing section is fixed to the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11, and the other end of the fixing section is connected to the climbing section.

[0127] It is understood that the fixing part can be fixed to the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11 in ways including but not limited to: screw connection, snap connection, interference fit, etc. For example, in this embodiment, the fixing part is fixed to the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11 by an interference fit.

[0128] In other embodiments, the climbing component 1B includes a climbing net (not shown) disposed on the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11 so that the bird's toes can hook onto the climbing net and thus climb smoothly to the bird inlet 14.

[0129] Understandably, the climbing net may be installed on the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11 in ways including but not limited to: hook connection, screw fixation, snap-fit ​​fastening, etc.

[0130] For example, in this embodiment, the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11 is provided with multiple hooks (not shown). The climbing net includes a net body and multiple ropes. The multiple ropes are located at the corners of the net body so that the net body can be fully extended. One end of the rope is connected to the net body, and the other end of the rope is wrapped around the hook, thereby fixing the net body to the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11 through the connection between the rope and the hook. It can be understood that the cooperative structure of the rope and the hook makes the installation and disassembly operations more convenient, and makes it easier for users to replace worn climbing nets.

[0131] As the young birds live and breed inside the birdhouse 1000, rainwater may enter the birdhouse 1000, or condensation may occur due to changes in ambient temperature. Conventional enclosed birdhouse 1000s do not have drainage structures, which prevents rainwater or condensation from draining in time, causing mold to grow inside the birdhouse 1000 and affecting the health of the birds.

[0132] For easier drainage of condensate or rainwater, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 1 In this embodiment, the bottom of the main body 1 is provided with a plurality of connecting holes 19 communicating with the receiving cavity 11. The connecting holes 19 are used to drain condensate or rainwater from the birdhouse 1000 into the receiving cavity 11. Furthermore, the connecting holes 19 can also work in conjunction with the aforementioned air inlet 15 for ventilation, increasing the communication pathways between the outside air and the air inside the receiving cavity 11, thereby improving the overall ventilation efficiency of the birdhouse 1000. Correspondingly, the air inlet 15 can also assist in the drainage of rainwater or condensate, improving the drainage efficiency of the birdhouse 1000. It can be understood that the shape of the connecting holes 19 is: elongated, circular, or any other irregular shape.

[0133] Furthermore, condensation or rainwater will accumulate at the bottom of the receiving cavity 11 due to its own gravity. To improve the drainage efficiency of the birdhouse 1000, in some embodiments, the base plate 1c is inclined. For example, the base plate 1c is set at an acute angle, that is, the base plate 1c is at an acute angle relative to the horizontal plane of the outside. This allows the rainwater accumulated at the bottom of the receiving cavity 11 to flow along the inclined angle of the base plate 1c, thereby draining the condensation or rainwater in the birdhouse 1000 in a short time, ensuring that the environment inside the birdhouse 1000 is dry and providing a comfortable living space for birds.

[0134] Furthermore, to prevent rainwater or condensate from failing to drain in time at the connecting hole 19 due to insufficient surface tension or tilt angle, in some embodiments, the connecting hole 19 is set at an angle to the bottom plate 1c to reduce the resistance of rainwater or condensate flowing out at the edge of the connecting hole 19. In order to facilitate the guidance of water flow, a chamfered groove can also be provided at the connection between the connecting hole 19 and the bottom surface of the main body 1 facing the receiving cavity 11, thereby accelerating the drainage of water.

[0135] It should be noted that, in order to reduce the assembly difficulty when installing the birdhouse 1000, the base plate 1c may not be inclined. Instead, the base plate 1c is processed. Specifically, the base plate 1c includes a first surface 1c1 and a second surface 1c2 that are arranged opposite to each other. The first surface 1c1 faces the receiving cavity 11, and the second surface 1c2 faces away from the receiving cavity 11. The angle between the first surface 1c1 and the second surface 1c2 is an acute angle, thus forming a base plate 1c that changes linearly from thin to thick, which facilitates the flow of rainwater or condensate. The direction of the linear change of the base plate 1c from thin to thick can be selected according to actual needs. This embodiment will not limit the description.

[0136] In some embodiments, the periphery of the top panel 1a extends to form a rainproof eave (not shown) to block external rainwater. This reduces the probability of external rainwater seeping into the birdhouse 1000 through the joint between the top panel 1a and the side panel 1b, thereby improving the waterproofness of the birdhouse 1000.

[0137] As birds move around in the containment chamber 11, a large amount of bird droppings or bird nests built by birds after they leave will be generated inside the containment chamber 11. In order to facilitate the next breeding and roosting of birds in the bird house 1000, users need to clean it. The existing bird house 1000 cleaning process is cumbersome and requires the use of certain tools, or the bird house 1000 needs to be removed as a whole, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0138] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments, the birdhouse 1000 also includes a cleaning component 1C, which is movably disposed in the receiving cavity 11 so that the user can use the cleaning component 1C to quickly clean up the trash inside the birdhouse 1000.

[0139] Understandably, the cleaning component 1C includes a cleaning net or a cleaning plate. When the cleaning component 1C is a cleaning plate, the cleaning plate is provided with several drainage holes 1C1 to allow bird droppings and other debris to pass through. Furthermore, the presence of drainage holes 1C1 also facilitates the insertion of branches when birds build nests, improving the stability of the connection between the birdhouse 1000 and the bird's nest. Moreover, the presence of drainage holes 1C1 does not affect the airflow within the containment cavity 11, that is, it does not affect the cold air entering the containment cavity 11 from the air inlet and the connecting hole 19.

[0140] It should be noted that the cleaning component 1C is equipped with a drain hole 1C1, which reduces the overall weight of the birdhouse 1000.

[0141] Furthermore, the cleaning component 1C is spaced apart from the bottom wall of the containment cavity 11 to prevent bird nests from blocking the air inlet 15 and the connecting hole 19, thus affecting the ventilation and drainage of the birdhouse 1000.

[0142] The cleaning component 1C can be set up in various ways, including but not limited to pull-out and flip-out.

[0143] For example, in this embodiment, the cleaning component 1C is pulled out. Specifically, the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11 is provided with a groove 111, and the cleaning component 1C is slidably inserted into the groove 111. In this embodiment, the groove 111 is provided on the inner wall of the side plate 1b facing the receiving cavity 11, specifically the groove 111 is provided on the second plate 1b7 and the third plate 1b9. The user can pull the cleaning component 1C out of the receiving cavity 11, thereby removing the trash in the birdhouse 1000 from the receiving cavity 11, making it convenient for the user to clean the birdhouse 1000.

[0144] In other embodiments, the cleaning component 1C is flipped up, meaning the birdhouse 1000 includes a rotating member (not shown), one part of which is connected to the cleaning component 1C, and the other part is connected to the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11. By flipping the cleaning component 1C up using the rotating member, the trash inside the birdhouse 1000 can be cleaned quickly.

[0145] Specifically, the rotating component includes a rotating connecting part and a rotating shaft. Both ends of the rotating shaft are fixed to the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11. One end of the rotating connecting part is fixed to the cleaning component 1C, and the other end of the rotating connecting part is rotatably disposed on a portion of the rotating shaft. Through the cooperation of the rotating shaft and the rotating connecting part, relative rotation can be generated, thereby driving the rotation of the cleaning component 1C. The rotation of the cleaning component 1C enables rapid cleaning of the birdhouse 1000. In this embodiment, for example, one end of the rotating shaft is fixed to the second plate 1b7, and the other end of the rotating shaft is fixed to the fourth plate 1b9. The second plate 1b7 and the fourth plate 1b9 provide fixed support points for the rotating shaft.

[0146] It should be noted that, to prevent the cleaning component 1C from directly abutting the bottom of the receiving cavity 11 when rotating within it, thus preventing the cleaning component 1C from being placed horizontally, a limiting protrusion is provided on the side wall of the receiving cavity 11. The cleaning component 1C abuts against the limiting protrusion, ensuring that the cleaning component 1C is in a horizontal state within the receiving cavity 11. Furthermore, the presence of the limiting protrusion also ensures a gap between the cleaning component 1C and the bottom of the receiving cavity 11. Alternatively, as an example, in this embodiment, instead of providing a limiting protrusion, the end of the cleaning component 1C furthest from the rotating shaft abuts against the aforementioned spacer plate 9. This fully utilizes the spacer plate 9, achieving a combination of multiple functions, simplifying the structure of the birdhouse 1000, reducing processing difficulty, and thus lowering manufacturing costs.

[0147] The existing camera unit 3 in the birdhouse 1000 is mixed with the birds' living area 11A, which affects the actual shooting effect and causes a great waste of the limited space in the containment chamber 11.

[0148] In order to optimize the placement of the camera component 3, in this embodiment, the camera component 3 is located at the top or side of the receiving cavity 11, and the field of view of the camera component 3 covers the receiving cavity 11.

[0149] Understandably, when the camera component 3 is located at the top, i.e., on the top panel 1a, its shooting range can completely capture the living area 11A, allowing users to observe all bird activities within the living area 11A. Alternatively, when the camera component 3 is located on the side, i.e., on the side panel 1b, its shooting range can overlook the bird entrance 14, or it can directly overlook the living area 11A from the bird entrance 14.

[0150] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The camera component 3 is fixed at the junction of the top and side of the housing 11. Due to its special location, the camera component 3 can cover most of the housing 11, making it easy for users to observe birds entering and exiting the bird inlet 14 and their activities within the housing 11. Furthermore, because of its location, the probability of birds colliding with the camera component 3 is extremely low, thus ensuring the image quality of the camera component 3 and improving the utilization of the limited space within the housing 11, especially in the aforementioned irregularly shaped birdhouse 1000 structure.

[0151] Furthermore, to ensure that the field of view of the camera assembly 3 covers the receiving cavity 11, the top and sides of the receiving cavity 11 are arranged along the field of view of the camera assembly 3. This encloses the camera assembly 3, ensuring that the field of view of the camera assembly 3 is within the required space.

[0152] In some embodiments, the birdhouse 1000 includes a fixing component 1D, which assembles the camera component 3 onto the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11 by at least one of magnetic attraction, snap-fit, or hanging.

[0153] Furthermore, to smoothly fix the camera assembly 3 at the junction of the top and side of the receiving cavity 11, one end of the partition plate 6 is connected to the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11, and the other end of the partition plate 6 is connected to the inner top wall of the receiving cavity 11; and the partition plate 6 is set at an acute angle to the inner top wall of the receiving cavity 11. Alternatively, the partition plate 6 can be fixed to the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11 by the aforementioned fastener 7. For specific structures and functions, please refer to the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0154] It should be noted that in the aforementioned irregularly shaped birdhouse 1000, the partition plate 6, the top plate 1a, and the third plate 1b8 enclose a triangular area to house the camera assembly 3. The angle between the partition plate 6 and the top plate 1a is 50° to 75°; for example, the angle between the partition plate 6 and the top plate 1a is 60°. The angle between the partition plate 6 and the third plate 1b8 is 50° to 75°; for example, the angle between the partition plate 6 and the third plate 1b8 is 60°. The angle between the top plate 1a and the third plate 1b8 is 50° to 75°; for example, the angle between the top plate 1a and the third plate 1b8 is 60°.

[0155] The partition plate 6 is provided with a shooting through hole 61, and at least a portion of the camera component 3 is housed in the shooting through hole 61 for mounting the camera component 3 so that the camera component 3 can shoot the living area 11A from the equipment area 11B toward the living area 11A.

[0156] For the aforementioned fixed component 1D, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 9 The fixing component 1D includes a first fastener 1D1, which spans the shooting through hole 61 to fix the camera component 3 to the partition plate 6. That is, the camera component 3 is fixedly placed at the shooting through hole 61 by the first fastener 1D1, so that the camera component 3 can shoot the activities of birds through the shooting through hole 61.

[0157] For the first fastener 1D1 mentioned above, please refer to Figure 9 The first fastener 1D1 includes a covering portion 1D11 and mounting portions 1D12 disposed at both ends of the covering portion 1D11. The mounting portions 1D12 are connected to the covering portion 1D11. The covering portion 1D11 covers at least a portion of the camera assembly 3. The mounting portion 1D12 is provided with mounting holes 1D121. After the screw 8 passes through the mounting holes 1D121, it fixes the mounting portion 1D12 to the partition plate 6, thereby using the first fastener 1D1 to fix the camera assembly 3 to the partition plate 6.

[0158] In some embodiments, an elastic arm (not shown) and a snap-fit ​​arm (not shown) are provided at the connection position between the mounting part 1D12 and the covering part 1D11. The elastic arm is formed by bending and extending the mounting part, and the end of the elastic arm away from the mounting part 1D12 is connected to the snap-fit ​​arm. The two ends of the covering part 1D11 are provided with snap-fit ​​grooves. When the elastic arm is in its natural state (meaning it is not in contact with any object), the snap-fit ​​arm extends into the snap-fit ​​groove and can move within the snap-fit ​​groove. When the elastic arm is in an elastically deformed state (meaning the elastic arm is in contact with the camera assembly), the snap-fit ​​arm abuts against the inner wall of the camera assembly opposite to the snap-fit ​​groove, thereby realizing the matching and limiting structure of the covering part 1D11 and the snap-fit ​​arm.

[0159] Understandably, the covering part 1D11 needs to be compatible with the camera component 3 to ensure its fixation function.

[0160] In some embodiments, the camera assembly 3 is fixed to the side wall of the receiving cavity 11. Specifically, the main body 1 is provided with a bird inlet 14 for birds to enter and exit the receiving cavity 11; the camera assembly 3 is fixed to the inner side wall of the receiving cavity 11, and the shooting direction of the camera assembly 3 is angularly offset from the entry direction of the bird inlet 14. This is to prevent light from the bird inlet 14 from directly shining on the camera assembly 3, thereby avoiding problems such as glare and dark backlit images captured by the camera assembly 3.

[0161] Furthermore, in order to fix the camera assembly 3 to the inner wall, the fixing assembly 1D also includes a second fastener (not shown), which fixes the camera assembly 3 to the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11.

[0162] It is understood that the second fastener includes, but is not limited to, hooks, fixing plates and screws, magnetic components, etc. These will not be listed individually in this embodiment.

[0163] In some embodiments, the birdhouse 1000 also includes a mounting component 1E, see [link to documentation]. Figure 2 The mounting component 1E is disposed on the outer side wall of the main body 1 and is used to mount the main body 1 to trees, poles, walls, or other locations where it needs to be hung. For example, the mounting component 1E is a hook, which is fixed to the fourth plate 1b9.

[0164] Alternatively, instead of setting up mounting component 1E, the main body 1 can be placed on a supporting surface, such as the ground or grass. Further examples will not be provided.

[0165] In this embodiment, the birdhouse 1000 includes a main body 1 and a camera assembly 3. The main body 1 is provided with a receiving cavity 11 for birds to move around in. The camera assembly 3 is housed in the receiving cavity 11 and is located at the top or side of the receiving cavity 11, with its field of view covering the receiving cavity 11. By placing the camera assembly 3 at the top or side of the receiving cavity 11, the shooting position and angle of the camera assembly 3 are optimized. This arrangement also provides ample space for birds to move around in the receiving cavity 11, increasing the proportion of the birds' activity area within the receiving cavity 11, reducing the impact of the camera assembly 3 on the birds' activities, and improving the space utilization rate within the receiving cavity 11.
