Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a feeder, and more particularly to an outdoor automatic feeder. Background Technology

[0002] Under current technology, outdoor bird feeders generally consist of a food storage container and a feeding mechanism. They allow birds to eat by placing bird food in the feeding opening. However, current feeders commonly suffer from the following problems:

[0003] Food storage containers that are exposed are easily corroded by rainwater, causing them to become moldy and damp.

[0004] Water tends to accumulate at the feeding vent, making it difficult for birds to access food.

[0005] As food is consumed inside the feeder, its overall height gradually decreases, making it impossible to obtain food normally from the feeding opening. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the problems of existing technologies, this utility model provides an outdoor automatic feeder that not only ensures that bird food is not easily damaged by rain, but also makes it easier for birds to obtain food.

[0007] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0008] An outdoor automatic feeder includes a net cover, a food tube inside the net cover, a top cover on the top of the net cover, and a feeding outlet that runs horizontally through the food tube on the net cover. The feeding outlet has an arc-shaped cross-section and opens downwards. A standing pole is provided on the net cover below the feeding outlet. A bird feed lifting mechanism is provided inside the food tube. The top of the bird feed lifting mechanism passes through the top cover and is connected to a hook rope. The bird feed lifting mechanism uses the weight of the bird to lift the bird feed at the bottom of the food tube into the feeding outlet.

[0009] Preferably, the bird feed lifting mechanism includes a central rod, a central rod cover at the upper end of the central rod, the central rod cover being connected and fixed to the top cover, a bird feed lifting part at the lower end of the central rod, a central spring rod inside the central rod, the bottom end of the central spring rod being connected to the bottom cover plate of the net cover, the top end passing through the central rod cover and connected to the hook rope, a spring being provided on the outside of the central spring rod, the central rod and the central spring rod sliding relative to each other and being reset by the spring.

[0010] Preferably, the support pole is hinged to the outside of the mesh cover.

[0011] Preferably, there are four sets of poles, which are symmetrically distributed around the perimeter of the net cover.

[0012] Preferably, a positioning wedge is provided between the food tube and the mesh cover.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the technical solution provided by this utility model are:

[0014] 1. By using a bird feed lifting mechanism, the food in the feed tube can be lifted to the feed outlet when the bird is feeding, making it easier for the bird to eat.

[0015] 2. The feeding opening faces downwards, which not only prevents rainwater from flowing back in, but also makes it easier for birds to peck downwards to feed. At the same time, the upward lifting mechanism of the bird feed is opposite to the direction of the feeding opening, which facilitates the accumulation of food at the feeding opening. Attached Figure Description

[0016] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example

[0020] As attached Figure 1 As shown in Figure 2, an outdoor automatic feeder of this embodiment includes a net cover 1, a food tube 2 disposed inside the net cover 1, a top cover 3 disposed on the top of the net cover 1, and a feeding outlet 4 that runs horizontally through the food tube 2 on the net cover 1. The feeding outlet 4 has an arc-shaped cross-section and opens downwards. A standing pole 5 is disposed on the net cover 1 below the feeding outlet 4. A bird feed lifting mechanism is disposed inside the food tube 2. The top of the bird feed lifting mechanism passes through the top cover 3 and is connected to a hook rope 6. The bird feed lifting mechanism uses the weight of the bird to lift the bird feed at the bottom of the food tube 2 into the feeding outlet 4.

[0021] The bird feed lifting mechanism of this embodiment includes a central rod 7, a central rod cover 8 at the upper end of the central rod 7, the central rod cover 8 being connected and fixed to the top cover 3, a bird feed lifting part 9 at the lower end of the central rod 7, a central spring rod 10 inside the central rod 7, the bottom end of the central spring rod 10 being connected to the bottom cover base 11 of the net cover 1, and the top end passing through the central rod cover 8 and connected to the hook rope 6, a spring 12 being provided on the outside of the central spring rod 10, the central rod 7 and the central spring rod 10 sliding relative to each other and being reset by the spring 12.

[0022] In this embodiment, the pole 5 is hinged to the outside of the mesh cover 1 and can be folded away when not in use.

[0023] In this embodiment, there can be four sets of poles, which are symmetrically distributed around the perimeter of the net cover 1.

[0024] In this embodiment, a positioning wedge 13 is provided between the food tube 2 and the mesh cover 1 to fix the food tube and the mesh cover.

[0025] Bird food is placed in the food tube. When a bird stands on the perch 5 to eat, its weight causes the entire net cover 1 and food tube 2 to move downwards. Under the tension of the hook rope 6, the central spring rod of the bird food lifting mechanism is pulled up, which drives the bird food lifting part 9 to lift up and lift the bird food at the bottom of the food tube upwards. Since the feeding port 4 has an arc-shaped cross section and opens downwards, the bird food is pushed into the feeding port, making it easy for the bird to eat. After the bird flies away, the bird food lifting part 9 returns to its initial position under the action of the spring 12.

[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
