Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeder protection technology, specifically to a feeding cover that prevents squirrels from feeding. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of urban park culture, many cities hang bird feeders on public trees in parks to meet people's need to get closer to nature. Existing feeders are generally open structures for easy access by birds. Since there are also many squirrels living in parks, a large amount of food in the feeders is stolen by squirrels. Moreover, since squirrels have the instinct to hoard food, they often sweep the feeders clean, making it impossible for birds in the park to get food from the feeders in a timely manner. Utility Model Content

[0003] Purpose of the utility model: The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a feeding cover that prevents squirrels from stealing food from bird feeders.

[0004] Technical solution

[0005] To solve the above problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A squirrel-proof feeding cover includes an upper cover with a transparent cover that is rotatably mounted on the upper cover, a lower cover that is fixedly mounted on the lower side of the upper cover, a rotating bearing that is provided between the transparent cover and the lower cover, and screw holes that are provided on the upper side of the upper cover.

[0007] Furthermore, the lower side of the outer surface of the upper cover is provided with an external thread, and the inner side of the lower cover is provided with an internal thread, wherein the external thread and the internal thread are threadedly engaged.

[0008] Furthermore, the upper cover is provided with an embedding groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the top of the outer surface of the transparent cover is provided with an annular protrusion, which is inserted into the embedded groove.

[0010] Furthermore, an annular wall is provided on the lower inner side of the transparent cover, and the rotating bearing is inserted into the annular wall.

[0011] Furthermore, a bushing is provided inside the upper cover.

[0012] Furthermore, the upper cover is provided with an adapter tube.

[0013] Furthermore, the bushing, the adapter tube, and the screw hole positions of the upper cover are all provided with screw holes corresponding to each other.

[0014] Furthermore, at least one of the bushing and the adapter tube is retained.

[0015] Furthermore, a sleeve is provided inside the screw hole.

[0016] Beneficial effects

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0018] The technical solution provided by this utility model protects the bird food inside the feeder by setting a feeding cover on the feeder, preventing squirrels from stealing it. The combination of an upper cover and a lower cover, with a rotatable transparent cover between the upper and lower covers, causes the transparent cover to rotate due to the squirrel climbing up the feeding cover to eat the food in the feeder. This prevents the squirrel from standing firmly on the feeding cover, thus protecting the food in the feeder. Furthermore, by setting a bearing under the feeding cover, the friction of the transparent cover during rotation is further reduced, making the rotation of the transparent cover easier.

[0023] To make the technical solution of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Combined with appendix Figure 1-4 A squirrel-proof feeding cover for use with bird or poultry feeders comprises an adapter tube 5, a bushing 4, an upper cover 1, a transparent cover 7, a rotating bearing 2, and a lower cover 6. The transparent cover 7 can rotate to prevent squirrels from climbing.

[0026] The adapter tube 5 is fitted with a bushing 4. The adapter tube 5 is a medium structure. The adapter tube 5 has a channel that runs through it from top to bottom. The adapter tube 5 is used to cooperate with feeders of different sizes. By passing the feeder through the channel in the adapter tube 5, the feeder can be used in conjunction with the feeding hood.

[0027] The bushing 4 is fitted over the adapter tube 5, preferably in close contact. The bottom of the adapter tube 5 may have a flange or a notch, and the bottom of the bushing 4 may also have a flange or a notch. The flange or a notch of the adapter tube 5 provides support and restraint for the bushing 4, while the flange or a notch at the bottom of the bushing 4 provides support and restraint for the upper cover 1 mounted on the bushing 4, facilitating installation and preventing detachment. Preferably, the flanges or a notch of the adapter tube 5 and the bushing 4 are non-perforated, serving only a supporting and restraining function.

[0028] A cover 1 is fitted over the bushing 4, and the cover 1 fits snugly against the bushing 4. Screw holes 8 are provided on the cover 1, the bushing 4, and the adapter tube 5. The screw holes 8 on the cover 1, the bushing 4, and the adapter tube 5 are all in the same position and are the same size. After the bushing 4 is installed on the adapter tube 5 and the cover 1 is installed on the bushing 4, the screw holes 8 of the cover 1, the bushing 4, and the adapter tube 5 are concentric and pass through each other. The screw holes 8 formed by the cover 1, the bushing 4, and the adapter tube 5 are used to install screws or bolts. After the feeder passes through the adapter tube 5 through the screw holes 8 of the cover 1, the bushing 4, and the adapter tube 5, the feeder is fixed to the cover 1, the bushing 4, and the adapter tube 5 by screws or bolts, thereby fixing the feeder to the feeding cover.

[0029] A sleeve 3 can be inserted into the screw hole 8 formed by the top cover 1, bushing 4 and adapter tube 5, thereby limiting the top cover 1, bushing 4 and adapter tube 5 through the screw hole 8, and the sleeve 3 can install screws more conveniently.

[0030] The flange or flange of the bushing 4 provides support and limit for the upper cover 1. After screws or bolts are installed in the screw holes 8, the upper cover 1, bushing 4, and adapter tube 5 are engaged by screws or bolts, thereby limiting and locking them.

[0031] The bottom outer surface of the top cover 1 is provided with an external thread, and the top of the external thread is provided with an embedded groove 11. The embedded groove 11 is annular and is located inside the body of the top cover 1 on the upper side of the external thread, with the opening of the threaded groove facing downward.

[0032] The transparent cover 7 is a semi-circular cover. The top of the outer surface of the transparent cover 7 is provided with an annular protrusion 71. The annular protrusion 71 of the transparent cover 7 is corresponding to the shape of the embedding groove 11 of the upper cover 1. The annular protrusion 71 of the transparent cover 7 is inserted into the embedding groove 11 of the upper cover 1. The outer surface of the annular protrusion 71 of the transparent cover 7 and the inner surface of the embedding groove 11 of the upper cover 1 are smoothly polished. This reduces the friction between the annular protrusion 71 of the transparent cover 7 and the embedding groove 11 of the upper cover 1 after the annular protrusion 71 of the transparent cover 7 is inserted into the embedding groove 11 of the upper cover 1, so that the annular protrusion 71 of the transparent cover 7 and the embedding groove 11 of the upper cover 1 can rotate relative to each other.

[0033] An annular wall 72 is provided on the lower side of the inner side of the transparent cover 7. The annular wall 72 is located on the outer side of the annular protrusion 71. The annular wall 72 is used to engage the rotating bearing 2. The rotating bearing 2 is installed in the annular wall 72 of the transparent cover 7, thereby reducing the friction on the lower side of the transparent cover 7 through the rotating bearing 2, thus facilitating the rotation of the transparent cover 7.

[0034] A lower cover 6 is rotatably mounted on the external thread on the lower side of the upper cover 1. The lower cover 6 has an internal thread on its inner side, and the internal thread and the external thread are threaded together, so that the lower cover 6 is mounted on the upper cover 1 by rotation.

[0035] The lower cover 6 is used to cooperate with the annular wall 72 of the transparent cover 7 to limit the rotation bearing 2. During installation, the rotation bearing 2 is placed on the lower cover 6. By rotating the lower cover 6, the lower cover 6 rises on the external thread of the upper cover 1. The rise of the lower cover 6 pushes the rotation bearing 2 into the annular wall 72 of the transparent cover 7, thereby installing the rotation bearing 2 between the annular wall 72 of the transparent cover 7, the upper cover 1, and the lower cover 6. At this time, the rotation bearing 2 can greatly reduce the influence of the friction of the lower cover 6 and the upper cover 1 on the transparent cover 7 when the transparent cover rotates, thus facilitating the rotation of the transparent cover 7 under force.

[0036] After the feeder is fixed inside the adapter tube 5 with screws or bolts, when a squirrel wants to feed the food in the feeder, the squirrel will climb onto the transparent cover 7. At this time, the transparent cover 7 will rotate due to the pushing force of the squirrel's footsteps. The rotation of the transparent cover 7 makes it impossible for the squirrel to stand firmly on the transparent cover 7, thus causing the squirrel to fall off the transparent cover 7 and preventing it from stealing food.

[0037] In other embodiments, only one of the adapter tube 5 and bushing 4 may be retained. The adapter tube 5 and bushing 4 are only for the convenience of installation with feeders of different sizes. Therefore, the size of the adapter tube 5 and bushing 4 can be changed according to the size of the feeder to be used. At the same time, when only one adapter tube 5 and bushing 4 is needed, the other one can be removed to facilitate the use with the feeder.

[0038] In other embodiments, the transparent cover 7 may be a semi-transparent structure or an intermittently transparent structure to protect the food in the feeder.

[0039] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
