Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of rabbit breeding, in particular to a feces collecting device for experimental rabbit breeding. Background Art

[0002] In the existing breeding technology, when large-scale rabbit breeding is carried out, multiple rows of rabbit cages are usually arranged in the breeding shed. Under each rabbit cage, there is an inclined plate for discharging feces. The discharged feces fall directly into the ditch through the inclined plate. When the feces in the ditch are cleaned, especially during the breeding process of experimental rabbits, the feces need to be cleaned frequently to avoid contamination to the rabbits.

[0003] However, in order to facilitate the discharge of feces, the bottom of the existing rabbit cage is usually a grid structure, which is convenient for the rabbit to discharge feces under the cage. However, when the external environment of the rabbit changes (such as stress, temperature change, food change, etc.), it is easy for the rabbit to discharge feces too thin or not formed, causing the feces to adhere to the grid at the bottom of the cage. The adhered feces can easily nourish pathogens and cause secondary damage to the rabbit. Secondly, in order to save space in the existing rabbit breeding process, the breeding cage is usually a multi-layer structure, and there is a baffle at the bottom of each layer of the cage to guide the rabbit's excrement. However, the rabbit's excrement, especially urine, is easy to adhere to the baffle at the bottom of the rabbit cage. The existing baffle is usually directly replaced or manually cleaned during use, and the use efficiency is poor. Summary of the invention

The multiple groups of rabbit cages 1 are stacked. During the breeding process, rabbits are put into the rabbit cages 1. During the defecation process, the excrement of the rabbits passes through the multiple groups of rotating rods 7 and falls on the baffle 10. Most of the excrement falls into the discharge trough under the action of gravity, and a small part remains above the rotating rods 7 and above the baffle 10. A cleaning mechanism 2 is installed in the discharge trough, and the bottom end of the cleaning mechanism 2 is connected to a motor 3, and the output end of the motor 3 is connected to a rotating wheel 301, which is located at the bottom end of the cleaning mechanism 2 and fits the discharge trough. The top of the motor 3 is connected to a wire 6, and the wire 6 As the water pipe 5 is extended to the outside and connected to the power supply, the motor 3 is started, and the output end of the motor 3 drives the rotating wheel 301 to rotate, and the rotating wheel 301 drives the cleaning mechanism 2 to move in the discharge groove, so that the cleaning mechanism 2 is inserted between the rabbit cages 1, and the bottom end of the cleaning plate 201 is provided with an inclined surface matching the baffle 10. During the movement of the cleaning mechanism 2, the bottom end of the cleaning plate 201 contacts the outer side of the baffle 10, and the excrement on the surface of the baffle 10 is scraped off by multiple groups of scrapers 203. The multiple groups of cleaning plates 201 are connected with connecting rods 207. Multiple groups of cleaning plates 201 are installed inside the cleaning mechanism 2. Both sides of the cleaning plates 201 are inserted between the rabbit cages 1 and are located above the baffle 10.

[0037] See also Figure 1 and Fig. 9A support frame 9 is installed on the outside of the rabbit cage 1. The support frame 9 is a metal frame structure, and the edge of the support frame 9 extends to the support foot. The support foot is located below the rabbit cage 1. The support frame 9 limits and fixes multiple groups of rabbit cages 1 on both sides of the discharge trough. The rabbit cage 1 includes a partition 101 and a cage 102.

[0038] See also Figure 1 A bracket 4 is connected to the top of the rabbit cage 1, and a mobile vehicle 401 is slidably connected inside the bracket 4. A water pipe 5 and a wire 6 are installed inside the mobile vehicle 401. The mobile vehicle 401 moves synchronously with the cleaning mechanism 2, so that the cleaning mechanism 2 can keep connected with the external power supply and water source during the movement of the cleaning mechanism 2.

[0039] See also Figure 6 A stabilizing frame 8 is installed on both sides of the cleaning mechanism 2 on the inner wall of the discharge groove, a connecting frame 206 is provided on the outer wall of the cleaning plate 201 to be engaged with the stabilizing frame 8, and a roller is connected to the bottom end of the stabilizing frame 8. The stabilizing frame 8 is slidably connected to the discharge groove, which can conveniently limit the cleaning mechanism 2 and maintain the stability of the cleaning mechanism 2.

[0040] See also Figure 5 The branch pipe 501 and the inclined pipe 502 are both in contact with the inner wall of the cleaning plate 201 , and the ends of the branch pipe 501 and the inclined pipe 502 are connected with a hose structure for bending to ensure that water can enter each group of branch pipes 501 and inclined pipes 502 .

[0041] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: when the rabbit cage 1 is used, firstly, multiple groups of rabbit cages 1 are installed in the supporting frame 9, and the rabbit cages 1 are placed on the discharge trough, and then the rabbits are put into the rabbit cages 1. When the rabbits are defecating, the excrement passes through the multiple groups of rotating rods 7 and falls on the baffle 10. Most of the excrement falls into the discharge trough under the action of gravity, and a small part remains above the rotating rods 7 and above the baffle 10. After long-term use, the residual amount is relatively large. At this time, the cleaning mechanism 2 is powered and watered through the water pipe 5 and the wire 6, so that the cleaning mechanism 2 can operate normally, and the motor 3 is started. The output end of the motor 3 drives the rotating wheel 301 to rotate, and the rotating wheel 301 drives the cleaning mechanism 2 to move in the discharge trough, so that the cleaning mechanism The cleaning mechanism 2 is inserted between the rabbit cages 1, and the bottom end of the cleaning plate 201 is provided with an inclined surface matching the baffle 10. During the movement of the cleaning mechanism 2, the bottom end of the cleaning plate 201 contacts the outer side of the baffle 10, and the excrement on the surface of the baffle 10 is scraped off by multiple groups of scrapers 203. At the same time, the external water source supplies water to the first nozzle 503 through the water pipe 5, and the water is sprayed from the water spray port 205 at the bottom end of the scraper 203 to further rinse the baffle 10, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the baffle 10. The water flow drives the excrement to flow downward and fall into the discharge trough. The bottom end of the cleaning mechanism 2 is also provided with a cleaning plate matching the discharge trough. During the movement of the cleaning mechanism 2, the discharge trough will also be cleaned synchronously to reduce the accumulation of excrement.

[0042] While cleaning the baffle 10, the gear plate 204 at the top of the cleaning plate 201 will mesh with the gear head 701 under the bottom plate 103. During the movement of the cleaning mechanism 2, the gear plate 204 will drive the gear head 701 to rotate synchronously, and the gear head 701 will drive the rotating rod 7 to rotate, so that the part of the rotating rod 7 located inside the rabbit cage 1 rotates and moves downward. At this time, the bristles 202 on the cleaning plate 201 will move below the rotating rod 7 to clean the excrement remaining on the rotating rod 7. At the same time, the water sprayed from the second nozzle 504 enters the bristles 202 to moisten the bristles to facilitate cleaning of the excrement remaining on the rotating rod 7, thereby improving the cleanliness of the rabbit cage 1. The rotating rod 7 will not return to its original position after rotation, thereby avoiding bringing excess water into the rabbit cage 1. During the cleaning process, a small amount of water is used to clean the excrement accurately through multiple groups of nozzles, without the need for a large amount of water for flushing, thereby reducing water waste and reducing the probability of water entering the rabbit cage 1, thereby facilitating the drying of the rabbit cage 1.
