Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bird feeding technology, and in particular to a bird feeder for wetland protection. Background Technology

[0002] Wetlands, along with forests and oceans, are known as the three major ecosystems on Earth. They play an irreplaceable role in flood control, climate regulation, water conservation, pollutant degradation, maintaining the global carbon cycle, and protecting biodiversity, and are hailed as the "kidneys of the Earth," a "treasure trove of species," and a "carbon sink." Wetland reserves are home to many organisms, such as birds. To prevent birds from being captured and harmed during predation, bird feeders are needed for feeding.

[0003] Existing technologies have certain shortcomings in bird feeding. Although food containers contain feed and other food, if they are sealed, birds cannot eat freely. If they are not sealed, the food will become damp over time. Although some systems use smart systems to achieve automatic and quantitative feeding, the large number of uncontrollable factors in wetlands may damage the smart systems, preventing birds from eating on time. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a wetland bird feeder that features automatic mechanical feeding and trigger-based feeding, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a wetland bird feeder, including a food storage bin, a rainproof canopy threaded onto the top of the food storage bin, a bracket fixedly installed on the outer ring of the food storage bin, a ring sleeve provided between the brackets, the food storage bin fixedly fitted inside the ring sleeve, a rocker device rotatably installed between the bottom of the brackets, a feeding device fixedly connected to the bottom opening of the food storage bin, and a transmission device slidably installed inside the food storage bin on the side wall of the feeding device.

[0006] With the above structural design, when a bird lands on the foot pedal, the foot pedal will rotate around the pivot axis due to gravity. Then, the top rod will push the transmission device to rise as a whole, causing the food inside the food storage bin to fall out from the feeding device through the gap between the inner wall of the food storage bin and the transmission device, and evenly fall into the receiving tray, thus realizing trigger-based automatic feeding.

[0007] Preferably, the rocker device includes a main rod, a foot pedal end, and a top rod end. The main rod has a fulcrum shaft located between the bottom of the support frame inside, and is rotatably mounted through the fulcrum shaft. One end of the main rod has a foot pedal end, and the other end of the main rod has a top rod end. A slider is rotatably mounted at the top center of the top rod end. The foot pedal end has thin crossbars and thick crossbars arranged in a linear array inside, and thin cotton thread is wound around the outer ring of the thin crossbars and the thick crossbars.

[0008] With the above structural design, the foot pedal provides a grab bar for birds of different sizes through thin and thick crossbars, and the top bar end is equipped with a slide head to make the top bar end smoother when pushing or pushing the transmission device.

[0009] Preferably, the feeding device includes a feeding pipe, a chute, and a receiving tray. The top of the feeding pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom opening of the food storage bin. A chute is provided on one side of the inner wall of the feeding device. A receiving tray is fixedly installed at the bottom of the opening of the feeding pipe.

[0010] With the above structural design, the material will not leak when the chute and the slide plate are closed. The material will fall from the inner wall of the feeding pipe to the inner wall of the receiving tray. Due to the design of the edge of the receiving tray, the material will not fall to the ground, thus avoiding waste.

[0011] Preferably, the transmission device includes a sliding plate and a tail plate. The sliding plate is slidably installed inside the slide groove. The tail plate is provided on one side of the bottom of the sliding plate. The top of the sliding plate is uniformly provided with uprights in an arc shape. A baffle is fixedly connected between the tops of the uprights. The baffle is in contact with the inner wall of the food storage compartment.

[0012] With the above structural setup, after the foot is stepped on, the top rod pushes the tail piece, causing the baffle to move upward. The food inside the food storage bin flows out from the bottom opening of the food storage bin through the gap between the baffle and the food storage bin, and the gap between the uprights, and falls into the interior of the feeding device.

[0013] Preferably, the tail piece has a groove inside, and the top of the slider is slidably installed inside the tail piece, with the shape and size of the top of the slider and the groove being compatible.

[0014] With the above structural design, when there is no weight on the foot pedal, the top rod end rotates downward, and the slide head drives the tail plate to descend synchronously, so that the gap between the baffle and the food storage compartment gradually decreases, achieving the effect of automatic closing.

[0015] This utility model has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. This wetland bird feeder, through its structure including a food storage bin, a rocker mechanism, a feeding device, and a transmission mechanism, achieves mechanical feeding by stepping on the feed. Birds land on the stepping end, and due to their weight, they naturally fall downwards. Since the main rod is rotated and fixed between the supports, the top rod end rotates around the connection point between the main rod and the supports. When the top rod end rotates, it pushes the entire transmission device upwards through a sliding head. Because the rotating sliding head slides inside the tail plate, it smoothly pushes the entire transmission device upwards. When the baffle moves upwards, the food inside the food storage bin falls out through the gap between the uprights and the gap between the baffle and the inner wall of the food storage bin, and then falls into the receiving tray through the feeding pipe, achieving the effect of mechanical feeding by stepping on the feed.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-2A wetland bird feeder includes a food storage bin 1. A rainproof canopy 2 is threaded onto the top of the food storage bin 1, which provides rain and moisture protection to prevent birds from getting wet while eating. A support frame 3 is fixedly installed around the outer ring of the food storage bin 1. A ring sleeve 31 is provided between the support frames 3, and the food storage bin 1 is fixedly fitted inside the ring sleeve 31. A rocker device 4 is rotatably installed between the bottom of the support frames 3. A feeding device 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom opening of the food storage bin 1. A transmission device 6 is slidably installed inside the food storage bin 1 on the side wall of the feeding device 5.

[0024] In practical applications, this device achieves automatic feeding through the coordinated structure of the rocker device 4, the feeding device 5, and the transmission device 6. When birds need to eat, they perch on the footrest 42. Depending on their size, either the thin crossbar 45 or the thick crossbar 46 is selected. When a bird perches on the footrest 42, the footrest 42 rotates around the pivot axis due to gravity. Then, the top rod 43 pushes the transmission device 6 to rise, causing the food inside the food storage bin 1 to fall through the gap between the inner wall of the food storage bin 1 and the transmission device 6 from the feeding device 5, and evenly into the receiving tray 53, thus achieving trigger-based automatic feeding.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-3 The rocker device 4 includes a main rod 41, a foot pedal end 42, and a top rod end 43. The main rod 41 has a fulcrum shaft located between the bottom of the support 3, and is rotatably mounted through the fulcrum shaft. One end of the main rod 41 has a foot pedal end 42, and the other end of the main rod 41 has a top rod end 43. A slider 44 is rotatably mounted in the middle of the top of the top rod end 43. The foot pedal end 42 has a linear array of thin crossbars 45 and thick crossbars 46 inside. The outer ring of the thin crossbars 45 and the thick crossbars 46 is wrapped with thin cotton thread to prevent birds from slipping when grasping. The thin crossbars 45 and the thick crossbars 46 are adapted to different birds. The thin crossbars 45 are used for small birds such as sparrows and white-eyes to perch on, and the thick crossbars 46 are used for medium-sized birds such as doves and crickets to stand on. When either the thin crossbars 45 or the thick crossbars 46 are triggered, the main rod 41 can be rotated between the bottom of the support 3.

[0026] The rocker device 4 is mounted between the support 3 via the main rod 41 and the fulcrum shaft. The stepping end 42 provides a grabbing and stopping bar for birds of different sizes via the thin crossbar 45 and the thick crossbar 46. The top rod end 43 is equipped with a slide head 44 to make the top rod end 43 smoother when pushing or pushing the transmission device 6. By stepping on the stepping end 42, the rocker device 4 rotates around the fulcrum shaft. Then, the top of the top rod end 43 pushes the transmission device 6 to rise, achieving a mechanical automatic feeding effect.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-4The feeding device 5 includes a feeding pipe 51, a chute 52, and a receiving tray 53. The top of the feeding pipe 51 is fixedly connected to the bottom opening of the food storage bin 1. A chute 52 is provided on one side of the inner wall of the feeding device 5. A receiving tray 53 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the opening of the feeding pipe 51.

[0028] After the food is triggered by stepping on the rocker device 4, it leaks out through the bottom opening of the food storage bin 1 and falls onto the inner wall of the feeding pipe 51. Since the chute 52 and the sliding plate 61 are closed, there will be no leakage. The food will fall from the inner wall of the feeding pipe 51 to the inner wall of the receiving tray 53. Due to the design of the edge of the receiving tray 53, the food will not fall to the ground, thus avoiding waste.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-4 The transmission device 6 includes a sliding plate 61 and a tail plate 62. The sliding plate 61 is slidably installed inside the slide groove 52. The tail plate 62 is provided on one side of the bottom of the sliding plate 61. The top of the sliding plate 61 is uniformly provided with uprights 63 in an arc shape. The gap between the uprights 63 is sufficient for the food to pass through. A baffle 64 is fixedly connected between the tops of the uprights 63. The baffle 64 fits against the inner wall of the food storage bin 1.

[0030] When the transmission device 6 moves downward, the side of the baffle 64 fits against the inner wall of the food storage bin 1, so that there is no gap between the food storage bin 1 and the baffle 64 for material to fall. When the stepping end 42 is stepped on, the push rod end 43 pushes the tail piece 62, causing the baffle 64 to move upward. The food inside the food storage bin 1 flows out from the bottom opening of the food storage bin 1 through the gap between the baffle 64 and the food storage bin 1 and the gap between the uprights 63, and falls into the interior of the feeding device 5.

[0031] Please see Figures 1-4 The tail piece 62 has a groove inside, and the top of the slider 44 is slidably installed inside the tail piece 62. The top of the slider 44 and the groove are matched in shape and size.

[0032] By adapting the internal groove of the tail piece 62 to the slide head 44, the top rod end 43 can synchronously drive the tail piece 62 to move upward when it rotates and rises. Since the transmission device 6 itself has no counterweight, when the foot pedal end 42 has no weight, the top rod end 43 rotates downward, and the slide head 44 will drive the tail piece 62 to descend synchronously, so that the gap between the baffle 64 and the food storage compartment 1 gradually decreases, achieving the effect of automatic closing.

[0033] Working principle: When in use, rotate the rain shelter 2 to remove it from the top of the food storage bin 1 by screwing it off. Then, pour the food into the food storage bin 1 through the top of the food storage bin 1. The food is stored at the bottom opening of the food storage bin 1 because it is blocked by the baffle 64. Then, re-screw the rain shelter 2 back onto the top of the food storage bin 1.

[0034] When a bird needs to eat, it automatically lands on the foot pedal 42, depending on its size, landing on either the thin crossbar 45 or the thick crossbar 46. Since both the thin and thick crossbars 45 and 46 are wrapped with cotton thread, they provide sufficient gripping force for the bird. The foot pedal 42 then naturally falls downwards due to the bird's weight. Because the main rod 41 is rotatably fixed between the supports 3, the top rod end 43 rotates around the connection point between the main rod 41 and the supports 3. During rotation, the top rod end 43, through the slider 44, drives the transmission device. The entire device 6 is pushed upwards, and because the rotating slide head 44 slides inside the tail plate 62, the entire transmission device 6 is pushed upwards smoothly. When the baffle 64 moves upwards, the food inside the food storage bin 1 will fall out from the opening of the food storage bin 1 through the gap between the uprights 63 and the gap between the baffle 64 and the inner wall of the food storage bin 1. Then it will fall into the receiving tray 53 through the feeding pipe 51, where the birds will eat it. Due to the concave design of the receiving tray 53, the food will not fly out, thus avoiding food waste.
