[0026] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] This embodiment provides a novel birdcage, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the birdcage includes the cage body, which forms the overall frame of the birdcage and provides the main activity space for the pet bird. The cage frame can be made of lightweight, high-strength aluminum alloy profiles or engineering plastics to ensure structural stability and ease of transport. The birdcage has sufficient internal space to meet the activity needs of small to medium-sized pet birds.

[0028] The birdcage consists of an upper cage body 1 and a lower cage body 2. The upper cage body 1 is connected to the upper side of the lower cage body 2 and communicates with it. The lower side of the upper cage body 1 has a lower opening, and the upper side of the lower cage body 2 has an upper opening, with the lower opening and upper opening connected to each other. The birdcage is formed by combining the upper cage body 1 and the lower cage body 2, thereby expanding the birdcage's space and solving the problem that most existing birdcages are too cramped, failing to provide sufficient space for short-distance flight, climbing, and other activities for pet birds, which is detrimental to their health.

[0029] Preferably, the top cover net is detachably connected to the upper cage body 1. Multiple support members 101 are arranged around the upper opening of the upper cage body 1, and the top cover net 10 is placed on these support members 101. An elastic member 102 secures the top cover net 10 to the side wall and front side of the upper cage body 1.

The top cover net 10 can be easily removed from the top of the upper cage body 1 to form a top-opening birdcage structure, increasing the flexibility of the birdcage design.

[0030] At least one mounting opening 11 is provided on the side of both the upper cage body 1 and the lower cage body 2, at which a side net 12 can be detachably installed. Hooks 121 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the side net 12, which engage with the mesh wires on the upper cage body 1 or the lower cage body 2. The side net 12 is made of multiple horizontal and vertical metal wires welded together to form a regular mesh structure. The surface of these metal wires is treated with an environmentally friendly and non-toxic powder coating, which provides rust prevention and prevents pet birds from ingesting harmful substances when chewing. After the side net 12 is removed, a suitable incubation chamber or bathing tub can be connected and fixedly installed at the mounting opening 11, and hung outside the birdcage for easy access for the pet bird.

[0031] Mounting plates 8 for detachably mounting accessories are provided on the back sides of both the upper cage 1 and the lower cage 2. The automatic water feeder and automatic food feeder can be detachably fixed to the mounting plates 8 at any height and position using their own hooks or buckles.

[0032] Both the upper cage 1 and the lower cage 2 have door openings 21 on their front sides, and each door opening 21 has a cage door 22 that can be opened and closed. The cage door 22 on both the upper cage 1 and the lower cage 2 allows for selective opening of either one, thereby increasing the flexibility of opening the cage door 22 to adapt to the different flight needs of birds.

[0033] In this embodiment, the mesh structure of the side net 12 and the structure of the mounting plate 8 provide abundant accessory installation interfaces, making accessory installation simple and secure. Together, they constitute the "standardized installation structure" defined in this application, providing users with a unified, reliable, and reusable physical interface, making highly customizable cage layouts possible, and making the birdcage an open and expandable main basic module; allowing users to plan their own birdcage spaces for eating, entertainment, and resting.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of connection holes 81 are arranged on the mounting plate 8 for detachably mounting accessories. The mounting plate 8 is made of a transparent material, consisting of a high-strength transparent polycarbonate sheet with a plurality of standard-sized round holes evenly distributed in a preset array.

This perforated plate structure provides a highly flexible mounting platform, allowing users to securely mount various accessories to the back plate using standard bolts, hooks, or other fasteners. Its transparent design increases light and ventilation inside the cage while also facilitating observation of the pet bird's activities from outside.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, each doorway 21 is equipped with at least two openable cage doors 22. The cage doors 22 are connected to the frame of the birdcage by hinges and are equipped with a reliable door locking mechanism, such as a spring pin or a rotary lock. This design not only prevents pet birds from escaping accidentally, but also facilitates daily feeding, cleaning and cage layout adjustments for users.

[0036] Preferably, each doorway 21 is provided with two cage doors 22. The lower side of each cage door 22 is connected to the frame of the birdcage body by a hinge. The upper side of the cage door 22 is hung on a hanger 24 on the side of the doorway 21 and then locked by a door pin 23. One end of the door pin 23 passes through the cage door 22 and the other end has a hook, which is hung on the hanger 24.

[0037] The area of ​​the doorway 21 is at least one-third of the front side area of ​​the upper cage body 1 or the lower cage body 2, allowing the doorway 21 to be opened wide, thus changing the birdcage from a static, closed design. This also solves the problems of numerous installation and disassembly steps and difficult operation associated with existing large-sized birdcages.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, a connecting frame 3 is provided at the top of the upper cage 1, and a full-spectrum lamp 4 is installed on the connecting frame 3. This full-spectrum lamp 4 can be one or more LED strips, with its spectrum specially designed to simulate the spectral composition of natural sunlight. It has a color rendering index of over 95, a color temperature between 3000K and 5700K, and can provide an appropriate amount of long-wave ultraviolet radiation. The integrated full-spectrum lamp effectively supplements indoor lighting. This type of lighting can promote the synthesis of vitamin D3 in indoor pet birds, aid calcium absorption, regulate their physiological rhythms, and help prevent behavioral problems such as depression, thus ensuring the pet's health. It reduces problems caused by insufficient indoor light in existing birdcages, such as disrupted biological clocks, irregular estrus cycles, reproductive dysfunction, behavioral issues, and vision problems in pet birds.

[0039] In one preferred embodiment, the connecting frame 3 includes multiple support rods 31. One end of each support rod 31 is connected to a corner of the upper cage 1, and the other end extends upwards towards the center of the upper cage 1. A full-spectrum lamp 4 is positioned above the center of the upper cage 1 and connected to the multiple support rods 31. Specifically, four support rods 31 are provided, and the full-spectrum lamp 4 is connected at the junction of the four support rods 31. The support rods 31 provide good support for the full-spectrum lamp, and the full-spectrum lamp 4 is positioned above the center of the birdcage, enabling all-around illumination of the birdcage's interior, avoiding blind spots, and ensuring sufficient light source.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, for ease of cleaning, this embodiment also includes a bird droppings tray 5, which is removable and located on the underside of the lower cage body 2. The bird droppings tray 5 is integrally injection molded from waterproof and corrosion-resistant plastic material, with a smooth surface that is easy to clean. The bird droppings tray 5 can be smoothly pulled out and pushed in along a pre-set slide rail at the bottom of the bird cage body. A handle 53 is provided on the front side of the bird droppings tray 5 for easy pulling. Above the bird droppings tray 5, the bird cage body is also equipped with a bottom mesh. The mesh size of this bottom mesh allows bird droppings to fall off while preventing the bird's claws from contacting the excrement at the bottom, thus ensuring the hygiene of the pet bird's feet.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the bird droppings container 5 has multiple raised ridges 51 that protrude upwards relative to its bottom surface, dividing the container into multiple droppings compartments 52. Preferably, the raised ridges 51 are arranged in a crisscross pattern. The raised ridges 51 prevent the bird droppings container 5 from splashing, avoiding bird droppings from polluting the external environment and solving the problem of maintaining cleanliness inside and outside the cage. The optimized drawer-type bird droppings container 5 greatly reduces the daily cleaning burden and improves the hygiene of the home environment.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, this example further includes a support frame 6, with the birdcage body connected to the support frame 6. A pull-out gap is formed between the lower cage body 2 and the top surface of the support frame 6, and the bird droppings tray 5 is pull-out and positioned within the pull-out gap. Multiple casters 7 are connected to the bottom of the support frame 6. The support frame 6 provides support for the entire birdcage body. Preferably, the support frame 6 is height-adjustable. The casters at the bottom of the support frame 6 facilitate the movement of the birdcage.

[0043] The novel birdcage of this embodiment is arranged from bottom to top as follows: a support frame 6, a bottom frame 103, a lower cage body 2, a middle control layer 104, an upper cage body 1, a top frame 105, and a connecting frame 3. The lower cage body 2 and the upper cage body 1 include a mesh surface and multiple vertical beams 106, and are assembled layer by layer. The bottom frame, middle control layer, and top frame are connected together using injection-molded connectors, making installation convenient. In a preferred embodiment, this embodiment also includes a control module, sensors for detecting environmental parameters within the cage, and an alarm device connected to the control module. The control module is configured to drive the alarm device to issue an alarm signal when the sensors detect environmental parameters exceeding a preset range.

[0044] Among them, the sensor used to detect the environmental parameters inside the cage can be a temperature and humidity sensor. The control module displays the temperature and humidity of the birdcage on the screen, and immediately alarms when abnormal temperature and humidity are detected, so as to monitor the temperature and humidity of the birdcage in real time.

[0045] In one preferred embodiment, the control module supports at least one of local control via a physical controller mounted on the cage and remote control via a built-in wireless communication unit to establish a connection with a user terminal.

[0046] Preferably, the birdcage is equipped with an automatic water feeder and an automatic food feeder. The automatic water feeder and automatic food feeder can be based on existing technology. According to the user's preset feeding plan, the food and water are automatically and regularly changed, so that the pet bird can be provided with clean food and water even when the owner is not at home. This makes feeding pet birds easier and eliminates the need to frequently change food and water or clean the food and water dishes.

[0047] This birdcage integrates a control module, including a control knob and multiple device interfaces. The knob allows for direct local control of the birdcage's lighting, feeding, watering, and other related functions. It can also be remotely controlled and configured via an app; local and remote alarms are provided for food and water shortages. The multiple device interfaces support electronic or smart devices such as automatic feeders, automatic waterers, cameras, lights, air filters, heaters, and humidifiers, facilitating the installation of various externally powered devices and avoiding wiring designs that birds would chew on, such as cameras and smart toys.

[0048] The control module is a compact, box-like structure, securely mounted in the rear middle control layer 104 of the birdcage, achieving integration with the cage. This module serves as the control hub for the entire smart birdcage. On the front of the birdcage, there is a physical controller and a speaker grille 9. Users can perform basic manual operations via the physical controller, such as rotating to adjust the brightness of the full-spectrum light or switching the light on / off state by short / long presses. Behind the speaker grille 9 is an alarm device, such as a piezoelectric buzzer or a small speaker, used to issue audible alarms under specific conditions. On the back of the birdcage, there are multiple device interfaces. These can be used to power external electronic accessories or for data communication. All cables connected to the device interfaces are routed outside the cage, avoiding the risk of being chewed by the pet bird and ensuring electrical safety.

[0049] The core of the control module is the main processor, such as a microcontroller unit with integrated wireless communication capabilities. The main processor connects to various internal and external components of the birdcage via an internal bus or interface. Specifically, the main processor connects to and controls the full-spectrum lamp, precisely controlling its brightness through stepless adjustment and on / off switching via pulse-width modulation signals. The main processor also connects to one or more environmental sensors, such as a temperature and humidity sensor, for real-time monitoring of the temperature and humidity within the cage. This environmental sensor can be integrated within the control module or placed in a suitable location within the cage via wires. Correspondingly, the main processor connects to and drives an alarm device, emitting an audible sound when preset conditions are met, and receives local user input signals from the physical controller. Furthermore, the main processor, through its integrated wireless communication unit, can establish a wireless connection with the user's smartphone, tablet, or other user terminal. The user can install a dedicated application on their user terminal to remotely control and monitor the birdcage's status. The main processor also manages the device interfaces, providing a stable power supply to external electronic accessories connected to it and exchanging information with them via data lines (such as USB cables) when necessary.
