Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bird feeding tools, specifically a bird feeder. Background Technology

[0002] A bird feeder is a feeding device specifically designed for birds, whose main function is to provide a stable food source for birds in outdoor environments.

[0003] Since bird feeders are placed outdoors for birds to use, it is not convenient for birds to eat in the dark at night, so lighting is provided. The lighting structure of existing bird feeders is usually set on the top or directly uses light strips wrapped around the post.

[0004] For example, a novel bird feeder with publication number CN207720948U discloses a column, a feeding platform, a storage bin, and a top cover. The feeding platform is fixedly connected to the column, and several sound holes are opened on the top surface of the column, with a surround speaker inside. The feeding platform is concave, with a feeding rack surrounding it. The storage bin is fixedly connected to the center of the feeding platform, and a hollow tube with built-in wires extends from the center point. The storage bin is a transparent hollow body, with its bottom edges tapering inwards, forming a convex spherical platform with several discharge holes on the bottom edge. The top cover is bolted to the top of the storage bin. The top cover includes a cover base connected to the top of the storage bin, an LED light installed in the cover base, and a cap installed on the cover base. The bottom center of the cover base is connected to the wires inside the hollow tube. In this technical solution, the LED light is located inside the cover base, i.e., on the top of the bird feeder. Therefore, the lighting effect of the LED light is poor and it cannot effectively illuminate the feeding platform area.

[0005] A bird feeder with luminous properties, disclosed in publication number CN210641966U, includes a chassis and a support column mounted on the chassis. The support column has a feeding trough for birds to eat, and a light-emitting element, which is a light strip wound around the support column, is also mounted on the support column. However, with the light-emitting element wound around the support column, raindrops can splash onto the light strip during rain, and the light strip can be damaged by prolonged exposure to wind outdoors. Furthermore, rainwater splashing onto the light strip can cause water to enter and lead to a short circuit.

[0006] Therefore, the lighting structure of the bird feeder needs to be designed more rationally. Utility Model Content

[0007] This utility model discloses a bird feeder to solve the technical problems of poor lighting effect and easy damage.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention proposes the following optimized technical solution: A bird feeder includes a feed tray, a feed cylinder, a rain shield, and a lighting assembly. The feed cylinder is used to hold feed. The feed tray is provided with a connecting ring and is connected to the bottom of the feed cylinder through the connecting ring. The bottom side of the connecting ring is provided with a discharge port. The rain shield is sleeved on the top of the feed cylinder. The top of the feed cylinder is provided with a feed inlet. The feed tray is provided with a feeding trough. The inside of the feed cylinder is connected to the feeding trough through the discharge port. The lighting assembly includes a battery, a circuit board, a ring-shaped lamp panel, and a solar panel. The battery, the circuit board, and the ring-shaped lamp panel are all disposed inside the rain cover. The solar panel is disposed on the top of the rain cover. The battery, the circuit board, the ring-shaped lamp panel, and the solar panel are electrically connected. The rain cover has a plurality of ring-shaped through holes, the positions of which correspond to the top of the material cylinder. The width of the through holes is greater than the thickness of the material cylinder. The lamp beads of the ring-shaped lamp panel correspond one-to-one with the plurality of through holes.

[0009] Furthermore, the barrel is detachably connected to the connecting ring.

[0010] Furthermore, the material cylinder is tightly fitted onto the connecting ring.

[0011] Furthermore, the rain shield has a central hole with the same diameter as the inner diameter of the material cylinder. The bottom center of the rain shield has a circular limiting groove with a diameter larger than the outer diameter of the material cylinder. The rain shield is fitted onto the top of the material cylinder through the circular limiting groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the rain shield includes a bottom plate and a top plate, the bottom plate and the top plate are detachably connected to form a receiving cavity, the battery, the circuit board and the annular light panel are all disposed in the receiving cavity, the solar panel is disposed on the top of the top plate, and the through hole is disposed on the bottom plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the circuit board is equipped with a power button that extends outside the rain cover.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a top cover, which is detachably mounted on the rain shield and covers the feed inlet.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a hanging rope, which is attached to the top cover.

[0016] Furthermore, the material cylinder is provided with a pattern, and the pattern has a partially or completely light-transmitting area.

[0017] Furthermore, there are multiple discharge ports, which are evenly spaced on the connecting ring.

[0018] The present invention has the following advantages over the prior art: The bird feeder provided by this utility model is equipped with a lighting component, which includes a battery, a circuit board, a ring-shaped light panel, and a solar panel. The solar panel powers the battery, thus saving energy. The LEDs of the ring-shaped light panel correspond one-to-one with the through holes of the rain cover. These through holes are arranged in a ring to align with the top of the feed cylinder. Therefore, the LEDs of the light panel are aligned with the top of the feed cylinder, and the width of the through holes is greater than the width of the feed cylinder. When the light is turned on, it can illuminate the feed trough, making the lighting position more accurate and the lighting effect better, and it can also illuminate the inside of the feed cylinder. The light shines through the feed cylinder, making it more visually appealing. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] See Figures 1-4A bird feeder includes a feed tray 1, a feed cylinder 2, a rain shield 3, and a lighting assembly. The feed cylinder 2 is used to hold feed. The feed tray 1 is provided with a connecting ring 4, and the feed tray 1 is connected to the bottom end of the feed cylinder 2 through the connecting ring 4. The bottom side of the connecting ring 4 is provided with a discharge port 5, which is used for feed to fall from the feed cylinder 2 into a feeding trough 7. The rain shield 3 is sleeved on the top of the feed cylinder 2. The top of the feed cylinder 2 is provided with a feed inlet 6, through which feed can be added into the feed cylinder 2. The feed tray 1 is provided with a feeding trough 7, through which birds can peck at the feed. The inside of the feed cylinder 2 is connected to the feeding trough 7 through the discharge port 5. When feed is added to the feed cylinder 2, the feed can automatically flow out from the discharge port 5 into the feeding trough 7, and the birds will eat the feed in the feeding trough 7.

[0026] The lighting assembly includes a battery 8, a circuit board 9, a ring-shaped lamp panel 10, and a solar panel 11. The battery 8, circuit board 9, and ring-shaped lamp panel 10 are all housed within the rain cover 3. The solar panel 11 is located at the top of the rain cover 3 and is used to charge the battery 8. The battery 8 supplies power to the ring-shaped lamp panel 10. The battery 8, circuit board 9, ring-shaped lamp panel 10, and solar panel 11 are electrically connected. The rain cover 3 has multiple ring-shaped through holes 12, positioned at the top of the material cylinder 2. The width of each through hole 12 is greater than the thickness of the material cylinder 2. Each LED in the ring-shaped lamp panel 10 corresponds to one of the multiple through holes 12, forming a ring-shaped lamp... The LED beads of plate 10 are positioned above the feed cylinder 2. When the LED beads are lit, because the width of the through hole 12 is greater than the thickness of the feed cylinder 2, the light from the LED beads can shine through the through hole 12 from the front and back sides of the side wall of the feed cylinder 2 (that is, inside and outside the feed cylinder 2). When the light shines out from the outside of the feed cylinder 2, it just hits the feed trough 7, which helps birds see the feed and makes it easier for them to eat. When the light shines out from the inside of the feed cylinder 2, the light has the effect of illuminating the feed cylinder 2 from the inside out. Furthermore, the LED beads being above the feed cylinder 2 also cause the light to hit the side wall of the feed cylinder 2 from top to bottom, so that the side wall of the feed cylinder 2 is illuminated from the inside out and from top to bottom. The light also has a certain degree of translucency on the side wall of the feed cylinder 2, so it is neither dazzling nor does it present a good visual effect of a light source.

[0027] In this embodiment, the material cylinder 2 is detachably connected to the connecting ring 4. There are various options for the detachable connection of the material cylinder 2 to the connecting ring 4, as long as a detachable connection is achieved. For example, the material cylinder 2 can be tightly fitted onto the connecting ring 4.

[0028] In this embodiment, the rain shield 3 is provided with a central hole 13, the diameter of which is the same as the inner diameter of the material cylinder 2. A circular limiting groove 14 is provided at the bottom center of the rain shield 3, the diameter of which is larger than the outer diameter of the material cylinder 2. The rain shield 3 is fitted onto the top of the material cylinder 2 through the circular limiting groove 14, so that the rain shield 3 can be detachably connected to the top of the material cylinder 2.

[0029] In this embodiment, the rain shield 3 includes a bottom plate 15 and a top plate 16. The bottom plate 15 and the top plate 16 are detachably connected to form a receiving cavity. The battery 8, the circuit board 9 and the annular lamp plate 10 are all disposed in the receiving cavity. The solar panel 11 is disposed on the top of the top plate 16 to facilitate the solar panel 11 receiving sunlight. The through hole 12 is disposed on the bottom plate 15.

[0030] In this embodiment, the circuit board 9 is provided with a power button 20, which extends out of the rain shield 3. Specifically, the bottom plate 15 is provided with a hole, that is, the hole is located at the bottom of the sun shade. The power button 20 extends out from the hole and will not be rained on, effectively preventing short circuits and other situations from occurring.

[0031] In this embodiment, the present invention also includes a top cover 17, which is detachably mounted on the rain shield 3 and covers the feed inlet 6, thus sealing the feed cylinder 2 and preventing rainwater from falling into the feed cylinder 2 during rain. There are various options for detachably mounting the top cover 17 on the feed cylinder 2, as long as a detachable connection is achieved. For example, the top cover 17 can be tightly fitted into the center hole 13 of the top cover 17. The feed tray 1, feed cylinder 2, rain shield 3, and top cover 17 are all detachably connected, facilitating disassembly, assembly, and packaging. Different patterns 19 can also be used to replace the feed cylinder 2 according to personal preference, enhancing both its aesthetic appeal and its visual appeal.

[0032] In this embodiment, the present invention also includes a hanging rope 18, which is connected to the top cover 17 and serves as a suspension device.

[0033] In this embodiment, the material cylinder 2 is provided with a pattern 19, which has a partially or completely light-transmitting area. When the lamp bead is lit, the shape of the pattern 19 can be displayed at night, making it more aesthetically pleasing.

[0034] In this embodiment, there are multiple discharge ports 5, which are evenly spaced on the connecting ring 4 to achieve the effect of uniformly discharging material from the feeding trough 7 and avoid the situation where there is less material on one side of the feeding trough 7 and more material on the other side.

[0035] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, enabling those skilled in the art to understand or implement the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features claimed herein.
