AUTOMATIC FOOD FEEDER ·


FIELD OF INVENTION

The present invention relates to an automated bird nesting system equipped with
waste management and a smart feeding mechanism. It more particularly relates to a
bird nest that features an integrated loT-based food dispenser and a removable waste
tray for efficient upkeep. This invention provides a self-sustaining environment for
birds, reducing manual intervention. The system ensures proper feeding schedules,
10 optimal nest conditions, and easier maintenance.


DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART
Conventional bird nests, both for domestic and wild birds, typically lack automated
15 systems for feeding and waste management. Bird enthusiasts and wildlife caretakers
often need to manually supply food and clean the nests, making it a time-consuming
and labor-intensive task. This lack o( automation can lead to inconsistent feeding
schedules, unhygienic conditions, and an increased risk of disease, especially in
confined or enclosed nesting environments. Also, current designs offer limited
monitoring capabilities, making it difficult to track the health and well-being of the birds.

With advancements in loT and automated systems, there is an opportunity to enhance
bird care by integrating smart technologies into nesting .solutions. Existing products do
not combine automated feeding with waste collection, nor do they provide features for
25 real-time monitoring and environmental control. This invention addresses these
shortcomings by introducing an integrated bird nesting system that e~utomates feeding,
manages waste effectively, and provides a connected interface for remote monitoring.

~ OBJECTIVES OF THE INVENTION
:.> To provide an automated bird nesting system that simplifies feeding and -::1'
maintenance with minimal human intervention.
:.> To integrate an loT-based food dispensing mechanism for precise and
scheduled feeding of birds.

~ To include a waste collecting tray with guiding rollers for easy removal and
improved hygiene.
~ To enable remote monitoring and control of the nest environment via an loT
interface, enhancing user convenience.
5 ~ To monitor and maintain optimal nest conditions using built-in sensors for
temperature and moisture.
~ To reduce the risk of disease and ensure a healthier living environment by
maintaining cleanliness and consistent feeding schedules.
~ To offer a user-friendly interface with LCD screens and timer controls for easy
setup and operation.

~ To provide a durable and weather-resistant structure for safe and secure
nesting in various outdoor conditions.



BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention introduces an automated bird nesting system that integrates feeding,
waste management, and smart monitoring capabilities. The nest features a sturdy
metal enclosure with a protective roof and a bottom cabin that houses a waste
collecting tray. The waste tray is easily removable, supported by guiding rollers for
20 quick and hygienic cleaning. The system includes an loT-enabled food feed hopper,
which dispenses food through a controlled valve based on user-set schedules.
An LCD screen and timer controls allow users to configure feeding intervals and
monitor system status. Built-in sensors for temperature and moisture help maintain a
25 comfortable environment for the birds, while the loT interface enables remote control
and real-time updates via a connected device. This innovative design reduces manual
labor; ensures consistent feeding, and provides a healthier habitat for birds, making it
a practical solution for bird enthusiasts and wildlife caretakers alike.

and electronics. It provides a protected area for components like the guiding
rollers, LCD screen, and sensors, keeping them safe from external damage.
4. WASTE COLLECTING TRAY
Positioned at the base of the bottom cabin, the tray collects bird droppings and
debris. It is easily removable for cleaning, helping to maintain a hygienic
environment inside the nest.
5. GUIDING ROLLERS
Located at the bottom of the cabin, the rollers assist in sliding the waste tray in
and out smoothly. This feature simplifies the process of tray removal, making
maintenance hassle-free.


6. FOOD FEED HOPPER
Placed above the nest, the hopper stores bird feed and releases it through the
dispenser valve. It ensures a steady supply of food, with a design that prevents
spills and minimizes waste.
7. FOOD DISPENSER
Attached to the base of the food feed hopper, the valve controls the release of
food into the nest. It dispenses feed based on a pre-set schedule, preventing
overfeeding and ensuring proper portion control.
8. LCD SCREEN

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The invention is an automated bird nesting system designed to provide a secure, lowmaintenance
habitat. The nest features a metal fencing enclosure (1) that offers a
5 sturdy, breathable environment, allowing visibility while keeping birds safe from
predators. A weather-resistant roof (2) covers the nest, shielding it from rain and direct
sunlight. The bottom cabin (3), located beneath the nest, houses essential
components including the waste collecting tray (4), guiding rollers (5), sensors, and
electronics.
10
The waste collecting tray (4) sits at the base of the bottom cabin and is designed for
easy removal. It collects bird droppings and food waste, helping to maintain a hygienic
space. Guiding rollers (5) beneath the tray facilitate smooth sliding, making cleaning
straightforward and efficient. Positioned at the top of the structure, the food feed
15 hopper (6) stores bird feed and ensures a steady supply. The food dispenser valve
(7), located at the base of the hopper, controls the release of food based on user-set
intervals, preventing overfeeding and minimizing waste.
An LCD screen (8) is mounted on the exterior of the bottom cabin, providing users with
20 a clear display of system status, including feeding times and sensor data. Beneath to
the screen, timer controls (9) allow the user to customize feeding schedules,
automating the process according to specific needs. The loT interface (10), integrated
within the cabin, connects to a mobile device or laptop, enabling remote monitoring
and control of the nest. It sends alerts for low food levels and a full waste tray.
The moisture sensor (11 ), placed inside the nest, monitors humidity, while the
temperature sensor (12) in the bottom cabin tracks internal temperature. These
sensors help maintain optimal conditions for bird health, providing a safe and
comfortable nesting environment.


BEST METHOD OF OPERATION OF THE INVENTION

1. Initial Setup:
o Position the metal fencing nest (1) in a secure, dry area with adequate
ventilation.
o Install the roof (2) to ensure that the nest is protected from harsh weather
conditions.
o Place the food feed hopper (6) at the top of the nest, filling it with bird
feed appropriate for the species being housed.
2. Configuring the System:
o Use the LCD screen (8) and timer controls (9) to set feeding intervals
and schedule feeding times based on the birds' needs. This can be done
manually via the controls on the unit or remotely via the loT interface·
(1 0).
o Ensure the waste collecting tray (4) is properly aligned within the bottom
cabin (3) and the guiding rollers (5) are functioning to facilitate easy
removal.
o Set up the moisture sensor (11) and temperature sensor (12) to monitor
environmental conditions, ensuring they align with the optimal levels for
bird health.
3. Feeding Process:
o The food dispenser valve (7) automatically releases feed from the food
feed hopper (6) according to the pre-set feeding schedule. This
eliminates the need for manual feeding and ensures consistency.
o The system will dispense the appropriate amount of food at each
scheduled interval, minimizing waste and overfeeding.
· 4. Waste Management:
o The waste collecting tray (4) captures droppings and debris from the
birds. When full, the guiding rollers (5) make it easy to remove and clean
the tray.
o Regularly check the loT interface (10) for alerts related to waste tray
fullness or low food levels.

5. Monitoring and Adjustment:
o The loT interface (10) allows users to monitor system performance
remotely, checking feed levels, waste tray status, and environmental
conditions such as temperature and humidity.
o If necessary, adjust the moisture sensor (11) or temperature sensor (12)
settings via the connected app to maintain ideal conditions.
By following these steps, the system operates efficiently with minimal manual
intervention, providing a healthy and comfortable environment for the birds while
reducing the time and effort required for maintenance.
