Summary of the invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a cage-raising automatic chicken-taking-out device which has a simple structure, improves cage-turning efficiency, reduces breeding costs, and can synchronously take out chickens from upper and lower multi-layer cages.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the cage-type automatic chicken output device is taken as the front side in the direction of movement along the whole row of feeding cages. The present invention includes a movable frame, and the frame is provided with multiple layers of horizontally arranged transverse conveyor belts and a telescopic mechanism for driving the transverse conveyor belt to slide to the left; the left end of the transverse conveyor belt can extend outward from the left side of the frame and push open the cage door of the left feeding cage, and extend into the cage close to the bottom of the cage; the frame is also equipped with a longitudinal conveyor belt located at the lower side of the right end of each layer of the transverse conveyor belt, and the longitudinal conveyor belt collects the chickens output by the transverse conveyor belt and outputs them again.

[0005] After adopting the above structure, the frame can move forward along the whole row of feeding cages. When it is necessary to grab the poultry in the feeding cages, the frame is kept stationary and the transverse conveyor belt is aligned with the cage door of the left feeding cage. Then the transverse conveyor belt is driven to extend outward and slowly push open the cage door, and slowly extend into the cage close to the bottom of the cage. At this time, the poultry in the cage are squeezed into or jumped onto the transverse conveyor belt in turn as the transverse conveyor belt slowly extends. When the transverse conveyor belt extends to the deepest part of the cage, all the poultry are transferred to the transverse conveyor belt. Secondly, by adjusting the light in the house to avoid the poultry riot, the poultry will be smoothly output to the longitudinal conveyor belt by the transverse conveyor belt, and then output through the longitudinal conveyor belt reversing; finally, the transverse conveyor belt is retracted, and the frame is driven to continue to move forward to grab the poultry in the next row of feeding cages.

[0006] In order to ensure that the transverse conveyor belt has sufficient telescopic grabbing stroke and can ensure that the poultry can be moved smoothly and quickly from the cage to the conveyor belt body, an auxiliary conveyor belt that can swing up and down is installed on the left end of the transverse conveyor belt. The auxiliary conveyor belt can swing upward to a vertical setting when the cage-type automatic chicken discharge device is moving, and can swing downward to the bottom of the cage when the transverse conveyor belt extends into the cage.

[0010] Furthermore, the front and rear sides of the auxiliary conveyor belt are respectively provided with auxiliary panels higher than the upper surface of the auxiliary conveyor belt; the front and rear sides of the transverse conveyor belt are respectively provided with transverse panels higher than the upper surface of the transverse conveyor belt.

[0011] In order to ensure that when the transverse conveyor belt moves out to the extreme position, the poultry can still be guided from the transverse conveyor belt to the longitudinal conveyor belt through the longitudinal enclosure, the left and right sides of the longitudinal conveyor belt are respectively provided with longitudinal enclosures higher than the upper surface of the longitudinal conveyor belt, and the height of the longitudinal enclosure is adapted to the height gap between the longitudinal conveyor belt and the transverse conveyor belt; the longitudinal enclosure on the left side is extended obliquely toward the upper left, and the upper edge of the left enclosure is located below the transverse conveyor belt.

[0012] In order to adapt to cages with different upper and lower spacing specifications, the frame includes a main frame and multiple independent sub-frames. The multiple sub-frames are slidably installed on the main frame, and an adjustment mechanism for adjusting and fixing the adjacent spacing between the two layers of sub-frames is provided between the two adjacent layers of sub-frames. The number of layers of the sub-frames is consistent with the number of layers of the transverse conveyor belts, and a transverse conveyor belt and a longitudinal conveyor belt are installed on each layer of the sub-frames.

[0020] With reference to the accompanying drawings, in order to facilitate the description of the structure of the present invention, the following definition is given: Figure 2 The left side is the left side of the present invention, and the definition Figure 2 The front side is the front of the present invention; at the same time, it is defined that the cage-type automatic chicken-out device moves forward along the entire row of feeding cages 10 to perform the chicken-out work; the cage-type automatic chicken-out device includes a movable frame 1, and in order to realize the movement of the frame 1, the bottom of the frame 1 is provided with wheels and a driving mechanism for driving the wheels to move, and the wheels and the driving mechanism are not shown in the figure.

[0021] Continuing to refer to the accompanying drawings, the frame 1 is provided with multiple layers of horizontally arranged transverse conveyor belts 2 above and below and a telescopic mechanism for driving the transverse conveyor belt 2 to slide to the left. The transverse conveyor belt 2 can be retracted into the frame when the present invention is moving, and when catching chickens, the transverse conveyor belt 2 will extend out of the frame and into the cage. Of course, the number of layers of the transverse conveyor belt 2 is consistent with the number of layers of the upper and lower multi-layer cage bodies. The number of layers illustrated in this embodiment is 3 layers, but of course it can also be more than 3 layers or less than three layers; wherein, the transverse conveyor belt 2 includes two front and rear beams spaced apart, a transverse active roller and a transverse driven roller installed between the two beams, and a conveyor belt body installed between the transverse active roller and the transverse driven roller, and the conveyor belt body is preferably a belt-type belt body; in addition, a slide rail assembly for supporting the left and right movement of the beam is installed between the frame 1 and each beam; the telescopic mechanism is preferably a telescopic electric cylinder or a gear rack mechanism installed between the frame 1 and the beam.

[0022] The left end of the transverse conveyor belt 2 can extend outward from the left side of the frame 1 and push open the cage door of the left feeding cage 10, and extend into the cage close to the bottom of the cage, so that the poultry in the cage are squeezed onto the belt body of the transverse conveyor belt 2 in turn and transported outward; however, in order to ensure that the transverse conveyor belt 2 has a sufficient telescopic grasping stroke and can ensure that the poultry can be moved smoothly and quickly from the cage to the conveyor belt body, an auxiliary conveyor belt 4 that can swing up and down is installed on the left end of the transverse conveyor belt 2, and the front and rear width of the auxiliary conveyor belt 4 is the same as that of the cage The cage door width is adapted to the cage width. The auxiliary conveyor belt 4 can swing upward to a vertical setting when the cage-type automatic chicken-discharging device is moving, and can swing downward to the bottom of the cage when the transverse conveyor belt 2 is extended into the cage. The auxiliary conveyor belt 4 swings upward to a vertical setting to avoid the auxiliary conveyor belt 4 from interfering with the cage body when the present invention moves along the cage body. The auxiliary conveyor belt 4 can swing downward to the bottom of the cage when it is extended into the cage to ensure that the conveyor belt has a certain grabbing inclination angle, so that the poultry can jump onto the conveyor belt more easily. Secondly, in order to improve the carrying capacity of the auxiliary conveyor belt 4, a support wheel 5 that can be pressed against the bottom of the cage for walking is also installed on both sides of the auxiliary conveyor belt 4. The support wheel 5 is a freely rotating wheel body, and the support wheel 5 can push the left end of the auxiliary conveyor belt 4 upward to a certain distance from the bottom of the cage. In addition, the auxiliary conveyor belt 4 includes two auxiliary beams spaced apart in front and behind, an auxiliary active roller and an auxiliary driven roller installed between the two auxiliary beams, and a conveyor belt body installed between the auxiliary active roller and the auxiliary driven roller; the auxiliary conveyor belt 4 is hinged between the left end portions of the two cross beams through the auxiliary beams; at the same time, a swing adjustment mechanism for adjusting and fixing the swing angle of the auxiliary conveyor belt 4 is provided between the cross beam and the auxiliary beam, and the swing adjustment structure can adopt a swing cylinder structure.

[0023] In addition, a longitudinal conveyor belt 3 is installed in the frame 1, which is located at the lower side of the right end of each layer of the transverse conveyor belt 2. The angle between the longitudinal conveyor belt and the transverse conveyor belt can be set according to the needs of use. The angle between the longitudinal conveyor belt and the transverse conveyor belt of the present invention is about 90 degrees. Therefore, the longitudinal conveyor belt 3 collects the chickens output by the transverse conveyor belt 2 and then turns 90 degrees before outputting them again. Correspondingly, the longitudinal conveyor belt 3 includes a longitudinal active roller and a longitudinal driven roller, and a conveyor belt body is installed between the longitudinal active roller and the longitudinal driven roller; in addition, the active rollers of the present invention are driven to rotate by an external drive motor and a sprocket chain structure; in addition, the length of the longitudinal conveyor belt 3 is set according to the needs of use, and the front end of the longitudinal conveyor belt 3 exceeds the front side of the transverse conveyor belt 2 by a certain distance or is flush with the front side of the transverse conveyor belt 2; the left and right widths of the longitudinal conveyor belt 3 can be adapted to the telescopic stroke of the right end of the transverse conveyor belt 2; of course, if Figure 5As shown, a longitudinal conveyor belt 3 with a narrower width can be used. In order to ensure that when the transverse conveyor belt 2 is moved out to the extreme position, the poultry can still fall from the transverse conveyor belt 2 to the longitudinal conveyor belt 3, the left and right sides of the longitudinal conveyor belt 3 are respectively provided with longitudinal baffles 8 higher than the upper surface of the longitudinal conveyor belt 3, and the height of the longitudinal baffles 8 is adapted to the height gap between the longitudinal conveyor belt 3 and the transverse conveyor belt 2; the longitudinal baffle 8 on the left side is extended obliquely toward the upper left, and the upper edge of the left baffle is always located below the transverse conveyor belt.

[0024] Secondly, the front and rear sides of the auxiliary conveyor belt 4 are respectively provided with auxiliary panels 6 which are higher than the upper surface of the auxiliary conveyor belt 4; and the front and rear sides of the transverse conveyor belt 2 are respectively provided with transverse panels 7 which are higher than the upper surface of the transverse conveyor belt 2, wherein a soft connecting cloth 9 is provided between the auxiliary panels 6 and the transverse panels 7 on the same side, thereby ensuring that a transverse conveying channel is formed on the auxiliary conveyor belt 4 and the transverse conveyor belt 2; the height of the above panels must be greater than or equal to the height of the poultry to be conveyed.

[0025] In addition, the frame 1 of the present invention also has a second structure, that is, in order to adapt to cages with different upper and lower spacing specifications, the frame 1 includes a main frame and multiple independent sub-frames, which is not shown in the figure. The multiple sub-frames are installed on the main frame for sliding up and down, wherein an adjustment mechanism for adjusting and fixing the adjacent spacing between the two layers of sub-frames is provided between the two adjacent layers of sub-frames, and the adjustment mechanism can adopt a telescopic cylinder; of course, the number of layers of the sub-frames is consistent with the number of layers of the transverse conveyor belt 2, and each layer of the sub-frame is installed with a transverse conveyor belt 2 and a longitudinal conveyor belt 3.

[0026] When used specifically, the present invention can move forward along a whole row of feeding cages 10. When it is necessary to grab the poultry in the feeding cages 10, the frame 1 is kept stationary, and the transverse conveyor belt 2 is aligned with the cage door of the left row of feeding cages 10. Then, the transverse conveyor belt 2 is driven to extend outward and slowly push open the cage door, and the auxiliary conveyor belt is close to the bottom of the cage and slowly extends into the cage. At this time, the poultry in the cage is squeezed into or jumped onto the auxiliary conveyor belt and the transverse conveyor belt 2 in turn as the transverse conveyor belt 2 slowly extends. When the auxiliary conveyor belt and the transverse conveyor belt 2 extend to the deepest part of the cage, all the poultry are transferred to the auxiliary conveyor belt and the transverse conveyor belt 2, and then, they are output through the longitudinal conveyor belt 3 in reverse direction; finally, the transverse conveyor belt 2 is retracted, the auxiliary conveyor belt is bent upward to a reset state, and the frame 1 is driven to continue to move forward to grab the poultry in the next row of feeding cages 10.
