[0056] In this embodiment, the first sprocket 28 is engaged with the chain 29, the chain 29 is engaged with the second sprocket 30, a cleaning rod is fixedly installed on the second sprocket 30, the outer surface of the cleaning rod is rotatably connected to the roof 6 and the collection trough respectively, and a cleaning brush 31 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the cleaning rod.
[0057] In this utility model, during use, the connecting seat 2, connecting box 3, support seat 1, and roof 6 have an outer layer of waterproof and biodegradable coating such as corn starch-based coating, an inner layer of breathable gauze to balance moisture-proof and ventilation requirements, and a middle beeswax coating: beeswax is applied to key parts to reduce ants and other insects climbing. When it is necessary to spot birds at a distance, the drive motor 1 34 is started. The output shaft of the drive motor 1 34 drives the camera 10 to rotate, allowing the camera 10 to change its observation angle and direction, thereby achieving a wider range of scanning and monitoring of the surrounding environment, thus achieving all-round observation. When it is necessary to add material, the drive motor 2 12 is started. The output shaft of the drive motor 2 12 drives the screw 1 13 to rotate, the screw 1 13 drives the first bevel gear 14 to rotate, the first bevel gear 14 drives the second bevel gear 15 to rotate, the second bevel gear 15 drives the rotating shaft 16 to rotate, the rotating shaft 16 drives the third bevel gear 17 to rotate, and the third bevel gear 17 drives the first bevel gear 16 to rotate. The fourth bevel gear 18 rotates, driving the screw 19 to rotate. During the rotation of the screw 19, the connecting block 20 moves downward, which in turn moves the sealing plate 21 downward, thus opening the channel between the grain trough and the feeding tray 5. This allows the grain filled in the grain trough to enter the feeding tray 5 through the through hole 2. The mint box is placed inside the feeding tray 5. The mint box uses the evaporation of plant essential oils to repel insects, avoiding the use of chemical agents, reducing pollution to the environment and grain, and ensuring the environmental friendliness of the feeder and the safety of the grain. At the same time, when it is necessary to block the grain, the screw 13 rotates, driving the connecting block 1 to move upward. The connecting block 1 moves the baffle 11 upward. During the feeding process, raising the baffle 11 can block the grain from flowing out unexpectedly. When it is necessary to add more grain, the sealing plate 21 opens, allowing the grain to enter the feeding tray 5 smoothly.When grain needs to be blocked, the baffle 11 rises to block it, preventing unnecessary waste or spillage. When water needs to be added, the hydraulic cylinder is activated, and its output shaft pushes the pressure plate 33 downward. The pressure plate 33 applies pressure to the water, squeezing it into the through hole one. During the squeezing process, the one-way valve two is opened, allowing water to flow into the water feeding tray 4 through the through hole one. By controlling the movement speed of the pressure plate 33, the inflow speed of the water source can be controlled. When it rains, the drive motor three is activated, and its output shaft drives one of the rotating rods 22 to rotate. Rod 22 drives one of the fifth bevel gears 23 to rotate, which in turn drives one of the sixth bevel gears 24 to rotate. The sixth bevel gear 24 drives the rotating rod 26 to rotate, which in turn drives another sixth bevel gear 24 to rotate. This second sixth bevel gear 24 then drives another fifth bevel gear 23 to rotate. The two fifth bevel gears 23 drive the two rotating rods 22 to rotate, which in turn drive the two placement plates 7 to rotate. This allows the two placement plates 7 to be blocked during rain, thus opening the placement plates 7 during rain. During the process, rainwater is collected, and the inflow rate of the water source can be adjusted according to actual needs to avoid adding too much or too little water, ensuring the appropriate water volume in the watering tray 4. It can also automatically open the placement plate 7 to collect rainwater, making full use of natural resources, reducing manual operation, and improving resource utilization efficiency. Simultaneously, one of the fifth bevel gears 23 drives the seventh bevel gear 25 to rotate, the seventh bevel gear 25 drives the rotating shaft 27 to rotate, the rotating shaft 27 drives the first sprocket 28 to rotate, which in turn drives the second sprocket 30 to rotate via the chain 29. The second sprocket 30 then drives the sweeping rod to rotate, and the sweeping rod drives the sweeping brush 3. During the rainwater collection process, the transmission system drives the cleaning brush 31 to clean the filter screen 32, preventing it from becoming clogged, ensuring smooth rainwater collection, extending the service life of the filter screen 32, and reducing maintenance costs. Rainwater enters the collection tank through multiple inlets 8, is filtered by the filter screen 32, and then flows onto the inner wall of the bottom side of the collection tank. Subsequently, the collected rainwater is transported to the water tank through connecting pipes, realizing the recycling of water resources, conforming to the concept of environmental protection, reducing dependence on external water sources, and saving water costs.
[0058] Example 2
[0059] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that solar panels are installed on the front and rear sides of the roof 6, which can collect energy when exposed to sunlight.

Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
