[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, this application provides a multifunctional bird feeder, which includes a grain storage module 100 and a camera module 200. The grain storage module 100 includes a grain bin 110, which is a container with a first accommodating space 111 inside. The first accommodating space 111 is used to store grain. The grain bin 110 includes a first side wall 112 and a grain outlet plate 113. The first side wall 112 is provided with a grain outlet 114, which is connected to the first accommodating space 111. The grain outlet plate 113 is fixedly installed at the grain outlet 114. The grain outlet plate 113 is inclined, and the horizontal height of the end of the grain outlet plate 113 away from the grain outlet 114 is higher than the horizontal height of the end near the grain outlet 114, so that the grain in the first accommodating space 111 slides out from the grain outlet 114 along the grain outlet plate 113 under the action of gravity. The camera module 200 includes a mounting box 210 and a camera 220. The mounting box 210 is fixedly installed in the first accommodating space 111. The mounting box 210 has a second accommodating space 211 inside, and the camera 220 is located in the second accommodating space 211.

[0031] In one specific embodiment, the grain storage module 100 is mainly responsible for storing and providing food for birds. The grain silo 110 is a container with a large internal space, namely the first receiving space 111, which is specifically used to store grain. The grain silo 110 is roughly rectangular in shape, with one side of the grain silo 110 being a first side wall 112. The bottom of the first side wall 112 has a grain outlet 114, which is connected to the first receiving space 111 to ensure that the grain can flow smoothly out of the first receiving space 111. The grain dispensing plate 113 is a rectangular plate. The grain dispensing plate 113 is located in the first receiving space 111 and is fixed at the grain dispensing port 114. The inclined design of the grain dispensing plate 113 plays a key role. The inclined grain dispensing plate 113 makes the end away from the grain dispensing port 114 higher and the end closer to the grain dispensing port 114 lower. When there is grain in the first receiving space 111, the grain will slide out from the grain dispensing port 114 along the inclined surface of the grain dispensing plate 113 under the action of gravity, so as to realize the function of automatic grain dispensing.

[0032] The camera module 200 is mainly used to record and analyze the natural behavior of birds. The mounting box 210 is a container with one open side. The mounting box 210 is fixedly connected to the first side wall 112 and is located within the first receiving space 111 of the grain silo 110. The interior of the mounting box 210 forms a second receiving space 211. The camera 220 is disposed within the second receiving space 211. The mounting box 210 has two symmetrical first mounting holes 212 on both sides. Screws are used to fix the camera 220 through the two first mounting holes 212, and the camera 220 can rotate around the screws to adjust its shooting angle. The camera 220 includes a camera area 221 and a sensing area 222. The camera area 221 is used to capture images, and the sensing area 222 is used to detect whether animals are feeding. In this embodiment, the sensing area 222 is an infrared detection device. By placing the camera module 200 inside the grain silo 110, the stable installation of the camera 220 is ensured, its concealment is enhanced, and it is also convenient for recording bird feeding scenes. The camera module 200 also includes an antenna 230, which is connected to the camera 220 and extends from the second receiving space 211. The antenna 230 is used to receive and transmit signals.

[0033] In summary, the design of the grain storage module 100, especially the inclined setting of the grain dispensing plate 113, utilizes gravity for automatic grain dispensing, eliminating the need for frequent manual operation and greatly improving the convenience of feeding birds, thus ensuring a stable food source. Placing the mounting box 210 of the camera module 200 within the first receiving space 111 of the grain silo 110 provides better protection for the camera 220, preventing it from being directly exposed to the external environment and reducing damage from wind, sun, rain, and other natural factors. Furthermore, it enhances the camera 220's concealment to a certain extent.

[0034] This design, which combines the food storage module 100 and the camera module 200, integrates bird feeding and photography functions. Users can feed the birds while simultaneously capturing footage of them eating through the camera 220, satisfying their need to observe bird behavior and enhancing the user experience.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the first sidewall 112 is also provided with a first opening 115, the position of the first opening 115 matches the position of the camera 220, and the camera 220 captures images through the first opening 115.

[0036] In one specific embodiment, the first opening 115 is a large rectangular opening at the center of the first sidewall 112. The function of the first opening 115 is to provide a channel for the camera 220 to capture images of the outside world. The position of the first opening 115 precisely matches the position of the camera 220 installed inside the mounting box 210. The camera 220 is located in the second receiving space 211 of the mounting box 210. Through the first opening 115, the camera 220 can capture images of the surroundings, especially scenes of birds coming to feed.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the grain storage module 100 also includes a grain storage box 120. The grain bin 110 is installed based on the grain storage box 120. After the grain comes out from the grain outlet 114, it falls into the grain storage box 120.

[0038] In one specific embodiment, the grain storage box 120 is an important component of the grain storage module 100. The grain storage box 120 is a rectangular container, and the grain bin 110 is fixedly installed in the grain storage box 120. When grain slides out from the grain outlet 114 of the grain bin 110 along the grain outlet plate 113 under the action of gravity, it will fall directly into the grain storage box 120. The grain storage box 120 serves to receive the grain, providing a concentrated feeding area for birds. The installation method between the grain storage box 120 and the grain bin 110 can adopt various forms, such as snap-fit ​​connection, bolt fixing, etc., to ensure that the connection between the two is firm, and also to facilitate disassembly when cleaning or replacing parts is required.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the grain storage box 120 is provided with several first drainage holes 121 to prevent moisture from accumulating in the grain storage box 120.

[0040] In one specific embodiment, a plurality of first drainage holes 121 are provided at the bottom of the grain storage box 120 near the grain outlet 114. These first drainage holes 121 are arranged in a matrix. Their function is to promptly drain water from the grain storage box 120 during rainy weather or when birds accidentally bring water into the box while foraging, preventing water accumulation. The number and size of the first drainage holes 121 need to be rationally designed based on the size of the grain storage box 120 and potential rainfall conditions. For example, if the grain storage box 120 is large, more drainage holes or holes with larger diameters may be needed to ensure drainage efficiency. Simultaneously, to prevent grain from leaking out of the drainage holes, the hole diameter is controlled within a certain range, and filters or similar devices can be installed at the drainage holes to both drain water and prevent grain from escaping.

[0041] like Figure 3As shown, the grain storage module 100 also includes an anti-theft cover 130. The anti-theft cover 130 is installed on the grain storage box 120. The anti-theft cover 130 covers the grain storage box 120. The anti-theft cover 130 is provided with several feeding openings 131, so that birds can take food from the feeding openings 131, while squirrels and other animals cannot take food from the feeding openings 131.

[0042] In one specific embodiment, the anti-theft cover 130 is a component installed above the food storage box 120. Its function is to prevent non-target animals such as squirrels from stealing the food from the food storage box 120. The anti-theft cover 130 completely covers the food storage box 120, sealing it and forming a relatively enclosed space. A specific number and size of feeding openings 131 are provided on the anti-theft cover 130. The feeding openings 131 are rectangular, and their size is carefully designed to accommodate the beak size and feeding movements of common birds, allowing birds to easily peck at the food through the feeding openings 131. However, larger animals such as squirrels, whose beak structures differ from birds, cannot enter the food storage box 120 to obtain food through these feeding openings 131. In this embodiment, the anti-theft cover 130 is fixedly assembled with the grain storage box 120. In another embodiment, the anti-theft cover 130 and the grain storage box 120 can be installed in a movable connection manner, such as a hinge connection. The camera 220 identifies whether the animal approaching the grain storage box 120 is a bird. If it is, the anti-theft cover 130 is opened to make it easier for the bird to eat. If it is not, the anti-theft cover 130 is closed to prevent other non-bird animals from stealing the food.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, the multi-functional bird feeder also includes a garbage collection trough 300, which is a container with one open side. The garbage collection trough 300 is arranged adjacent to the food storage box 120 so that the garbage produced by the birds after eating can fall into the garbage collection trough 300.

[0044] In one specific embodiment, the waste collection trough 300 is a component of a multi-functional bird feeder used to collect waste generated by birds after they have eaten. The waste collection trough 300 is a container with one open side, facing upwards to facilitate the falling of waste. The waste collection trough 300 is placed adjacent to the food storage box 120, and their positional relationship allows food scraps and other waste dropped by birds while feeding in the food storage box 120 to fall directly into the adjacent waste collection trough 300. The food storage box 120 has several hooks 122 on the side closest to the waste collection trough 300, and the waste collection trough 300 has matching slots 310. The waste collection trough 300 is connected to the food storage box 120 through the cooperation of the hooks 122 and the slots 310, maintaining a relatively fixed position. Several second drainage holes 320 are provided at the bottom of the waste collection trough 300 to prevent rainwater from accumulating in it.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, the multi-functional bird feeder also includes a support assembly 400, which includes a fixing frame 410 and a mounting plate 420. The fixing frame 410 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 420 and is used for birds to stand on. The mounting plate 420 is fixedly assembled with the side of the food storage box 120.

[0046] In one specific embodiment, the support assembly 400 is a structure in a multifunctional bird feeder that provides a standing position for birds. The support assembly 400 includes a fixing frame 410 and a mounting plate 420. The fixing frame 410 is the actual standing position for the birds, and it is approximately U-shaped. The mounting plate 420 connects the fixing frame 410 and the food storage box 120. Two mounting plates 420 are provided, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the food storage box 120, and are fixedly assembled to the sides of the food storage box 120. The fixing frame 410 is welded to the mounting plate 420. Through the fixation of the mounting plate 420, the U-shaped fixing frame 410 can stably surround the food storage box 120, allowing birds to rest on the fixing frame 410 before and after feeding.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, the mounting plate 420 is provided with a sliding groove 421, and the grain storage box 120 is provided with a fixing hole 123 on its side. Screws pass through the sliding groove 421 and the fixing hole 123 to fix the mounting plate 420 to the grain storage box 120. By adjusting the position of the screw in the sliding groove 421, the positional relationship between the fixing bracket 410 and the grain storage box 120 can be adjusted.

[0048] In one specific embodiment, a groove 421 is formed on the mounting plate 420. The groove 421 is a long, narrow, groove-like structure, and corresponding fixing holes 123 are provided on the side of the grain storage box 120. The number and position of the fixing holes 123 correspond to the groove 421 on the mounting plate 420. In this embodiment, screws are used to sequentially pass through the groove 421 of the mounting plate 420 and the fixing holes 123 on the side of the grain storage box 120, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the mounting plate 420 and the grain storage box 120. Due to the presence of the groove 421, the screws can move along the direction of the groove within the groove 421. When it is necessary to adjust the positional relationship between the fixing frame 410 and the grain storage box 120, the user only needs to loosen the screws, push the mounting plate 420 to move the screws to the appropriate position within the groove 421, and then tighten the screws to change the distance between the fixing frame 410 and the grain storage box 120. This design provides the user with the possibility of flexibly adjusting the equipment structure according to actual observed bird behavior and needs. In another embodiment, the camera 220 can identify the size of the bird based on the captured image. The multi-functional bird feeder automatically adjusts the position of the mounting plate 420 according to the size of the bird, thereby adjusting the position of the fixing frame 410 relative to the food storage box 120, so that the bird can easily take food from the food storage box 120.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, the support assembly 400 also includes a food fork 430 and a honey pot 440. Both the food fork 430 and the honey pot 440 are fixedly installed on the mounting bracket 410. The food fork 430 is used to hold food such as apples, and the honey pot 440 is used to store honey for hummingbirds to eat.

[0050] In one specific embodiment, the food fork 430 is a component specifically designed to hold food, and it is fixedly mounted on the holder 410 of the support assembly 400. The food fork 430 has a sharp, toothed structure that can easily insert into chunks of food such as apples, securing the food firmly to the holder 410. This design is because different birds have different diets; some birds, in addition to grains, also enjoy eating fruits and other foods, and the food fork 430 provides them with a way to obtain these types of food.

[0051] The honey pot 440 is also fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 410. The honey pot 440 is a spherical container used to store honey. Hummingbirds are special birds whose primary food source is nectar, and the honey pot 440 is designed to meet this specific dietary need. The honey pot 440 has a small opening, allowing the hummingbird to easily insert its slender beak to suck up the honey. By adding a food fork 430 and the honey pot 440 to the mounting frame 410, the variety of food that the multi-functional bird feeder can provide is enriched, meeting the feeding needs of various bird species with different diets.

[0052] like Figure 5 As shown, the multi-functional bird feeder also includes a bathtub 500, which is fixedly installed on the top of the grain storage bin 110, and a fountain pipe 510 is provided at the center of the bathtub 500.

[0053] In one specific embodiment, the bathtub 500 is a water-holding container fixedly installed on top of the food storage bin 110. Its main function is to provide a bathing place for birds, meeting their daily feather-cleaning needs. The size and depth of the bathtub 500 are designed according to the body size and activity range of common birds. A fountain pipe 510 located at the center of the bathtub 500 is a device that sprays water upwards to create a fountain effect. The fountain pipe 510 can achieve its spraying function by connecting to an external water source or by using a built-in small water pump. The water flow from the fountain pipe 510 not only increases the water flow within the bathtub 500, simulating the state of a natural water body to attract birds, but the flowing water also keeps the water clean, reducing the accumulation of impurities and bacteria. The bathtub 500 covers the space above the food storage bin 120 to prevent rainwater or water from the bathtub 500 from falling into the food storage bin 120.

[0054] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the bathtub 500 includes a fixing plate 520 with a second mounting hole 521. Screws are used to fix the bathtub 500 to the grain bin 110 through the second mounting hole 521. The multi-functional bird feeder also includes an assembly plate 600, which is L-shaped and fixedly assembled to the bottom surface of the grain storage box 120. The bottom surface of the grain storage box 120 has several arc-shaped first positioning holes 124, and the assembly plate 600 has corresponding second positioning holes 610. Pins pass through the first positioning holes 124 and the second positioning holes 610 to fix the relative positions of the grain storage box 120 and the assembly plate 600. By inserting pins into different first positioning holes 124, the angles of the grain storage box 120 and the grain bin 110 relative to the assembly plate 600 can be adjusted. The assembly plate 600 also has several hanging holes 620 to facilitate the installation of the multi-functional bird feeder to external surfaces.

[0055] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the multi-functional bird feeder also includes a solar module 800 and a charging interface 700. The solar module 800 and the charging interface 700 are electrically connected to provide power to the multi-functional bird feeder.

[0056] In one specific embodiment, the solar module 800 includes a solar panel 810, which is a device that converts solar energy into electrical energy. The solar panel 810 typically consists of multiple photovoltaic cells that absorb sunlight and convert it into direct current. In a multi-functional bird feeder, the solar panel 810 is generally installed in a relatively open location that receives ample sunlight. Its area and power are rationally designed based on the power requirements of various components inside the multi-functional bird feeder (such as the camera 220, the fountain pipe 510, and the water pump) to ensure sufficient power generation for equipment operation.

[0057] The solar module 800 also includes a bracket 820, which supports the solar panel 810 so that the solar panel 810 can better receive sunlight.

[0058] The solar module 800 also includes a charging cable 830, one end of which is electrically connected to the solar panel 810, and the other end is used to electrically connect to the charging interface 700 of the multi-functional bird feeder.

[0059] The charging interface 700 is fixedly installed on the mounting box 210 and extends through the grain bin 110. The charging interface 700 is used to connect to a power source for charging. It is electrically connected to the solar panel 810 via a charging cable 830. When solar energy is insufficient to meet the bird feeder's power needs, users can connect an external power source (such as a charger or power bank) through the charging interface 700 to charge the multi-functional bird feeder, ensuring continuous and stable operation. For example, during continuous rainy weather, when the solar panel 810 generates less power, the charging interface 700 can be used to connect to a household power source to supplement the multi-functional bird feeder's power. This operating mode utilizes clean solar energy and provides a backup external charging solution, greatly improving the practicality of the multi-functional bird feeder's power supply.

[0060] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and do not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this application.
