Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of poultry farming, and particularly to a multifunctional feeding system for a poultry farming monitoring platform. Background Art

[0002] Poultry farming in China has a history of more than 5,000 years. China's poultry industry has achieved rapid development. The poultry breeding volume and egg production have ranked first in the world for many consecutive years, and the poultry meat production ranks second in the world. At the present stage, it is undergoing a transformation period: from a simple production mode, low production efficiency and production level to a modern farming mode. At present, China's poultry farming is still mainly small-scale and large-group based. However, due to social development needs, national policy promotion and industry development requirements, the emerging large-scale and modern farming is becoming the future development trend.

[0003] The patent document with the patent number CN112931296B discloses an egg collection device, which includes a conveyor belt, an egg receiving plate and a plurality of egg laying boxes arranged side by side. The conveyor belt is used to place egg trays. The egg receiving plate is horizontally fixed above the conveyor belt. The egg tray is located between the conveyor belt and the egg receiving plate. A plurality of flipping concave trays corresponding to the egg laying boxes one by one are arranged on the egg receiving plate. The bottom plate of the egg laying box is inclined, and an egg outlet is arranged at the lower end of the bottom plate. The egg outlet is communicated to the corresponding flipping concave tray through a chute. The flipping concave tray is rotationally connected to the egg receiving plate through a rotating shaft. A pressing plate is arranged at one end of the flipping concave tray. The rotating shaft is located between the center of gravity of the flipping concave tray and the pressing plate. The conveyor belt is driven by a servo motor. The PLC controller can control the servo motor to drive the displacement of the egg tray. A pressure sensor for sensing the pressure of each egg cavity is arranged on the conveyor belt, and the pressure sensor is electrically connected to the PLC controller.

[0004] However, in the actual use process, the inventor found that the products are generally collected manually and the bottom surface of the cage is set to be inclined for work after birth.

[0052] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0053] Embodiment 1

[0054] As Figures 1-3 shown, a multi-functional feeding system for a poultry breeding monitoring platform includes a cage body 1, and further includes:

[0055] A feeding mechanism 2, which is located inside the cage body 1 and is used to complete the regular feeding work of poultry;

[0056] A waste removal mechanism 3, which is arranged at the bottom of the cage body 1 and includes a primary cleaning mechanism 31 for cleaning the internal environment of the cage body 1 and a secondary cleaning mechanism 32 for cleaning the larger and difficult-to-discharge waste inside the cage body 1;

[0057] A product 100 output mechanism 4, which includes a transfer mechanism 41 correspondingly arranged below the primary cleaning mechanism 31 and a collection mechanism 42 arranged on one side of the cage body 1 and used to cooperate with the transfer mechanism 41 to collect the product 100.

[0058] In this embodiment, by setting the feeding mechanism 2, the waste removal mechanism 3, and the product 100 output mechanism 4, an automated breeding function is exerted during the poultry breeding process. The process of poultry feeding is grasped by more scientific means. Through the close cooperation of each mechanism, while reducing manual participation, the scientific and reasonable feeding process and the clean and tidy breeding environment can be ensured, the probability of poultry getting sick during the breeding process is reduced, and the breeding quality and the output of the product 100 are improved.

[0059] Specifically, through the feeding mechanism 2, poultry can be driven to the feeding area for feeding work at a fixed time every day. At the same time, after the activity area of the poultry is vacated, the waste removal mechanism 3 starts to clean the environment, discharging the excrement, feathers and other sundries inside the cage body 1 to ensure the clean and hygienic breeding environment. During the process, the product 100 output mechanism 4 conveys the product 100 of the poultry out of the cage body 1 and completes the collection work under the action of the collection mechanism 42.

[0060] It should be noted that the excrement is collected and conveyed by means of a transmission track belt arranged at the bottom of the activity area, which is a conventional means not shown in the figure.

[0061] Furthermore, as Figures 1-2 and Figures 6-8 shown, the feeding mechanism 2 includes a driving mechanism 21 arranged inside the cage body 1 and used to control the activity area of the chicken flock, a feeding mechanism 22 arranged on the cage body 1 and used to complete the feeding of feed under the drive of the driving mechanism 21, and a water replenishing mechanism 23 arranged on one side of the cage body 1 and synchronously driven with the primary cleaning mechanism 31.

[0062] In this embodiment, by setting up the driving mechanism 21, the feeding mechanism 22, and the water replenishing mechanism 23, the regular and quantitative feeding work in the process of poultry breeding is completed, ensuring the scientific nature of the poultry feeding work and maximizing the improvement of the feeding quality and output.

[0063] Specifically, when the time is in the feeding stage, the driving mechanism 21 drives the poultry from the activity area to the feeding area for quantitative feeding. During this process, after the activity area is emptied, as the cleaning work progresses, the water replenishing mechanism 23 replenishes the drinking water according to the existing water volume, and waits for the poultry to be driven back to the activity area after the feeding is completed.

[0064] Further, as Figure 1 and Figures 6-7 shown, the feeding mechanism 22 includes a feed box 221 connected to the inner wall of one side of the cage body 1, a feeding trough 222 arranged below the feed box 221, a special-shaped plate 224 arranged at the outlet position of the feed box 221 and connected to the inner wall of the cage body 1 through a cross bar 223, a trigger plate 226 connected to one end of the cross bar 223 and connected with a torsion spring 225, and a push rod 227 connected to the top of the second guardrail 2112 and used to drive the trigger plate 226 to rotate for discharging materials.

[0065] In this embodiment, through the cooperation of the feeding mechanism 22 and the driving mechanism 21, the quantitative feeding work can be completed immediately after the poultry is driven to the feeding area.

[0066] Specifically, when the driving mechanism 21 drives the second guardrail 2112 to move to the boundary, the top of the second guardrail 2112 drives the push rod 227 to push the trigger plate 226, so that the trigger plate 226 drives the cross bar 223 and the special-shaped plate 224 to rotate together. At this time, the special-shaped plate 224 transfers the feed out through the opening position and puts it into the feeding trough 222, and closes the outlet of the feed box 221 through the solid position to complete the quantitative feeding. When the feeding is completed, as the second guardrail 2112 and the push rod 227 move away, the special-shaped plate 224 and the cross bar 223 rotate back to the initial position under the action of the torsion spring 225.

[0067] Further, as Figure 2 and Figure 8 shown, the water replenishing mechanism 23 includes a water storage tank 232 connected with a first water outlet pipe 231 and arranged on one side of the cage body 1, a second water outlet pipe 233 connected to the outer wall of the first water outlet pipe 231, a water stop plug 235 connected to one end of the first water outlet pipe 231 and connected with a sleeve rod 234, a water feeding trough 236 connected to one side of the cage body 1, and a water inlet component 237 that controls the water stop plug 235 to add water according to the water volume in the water feeding trough 236;

[0068] The water inlet assembly 237 includes a floating plate 2371 connected to the inner wall of one side of the water feeding trough 236, a mounting frame 2373 connected to the top of the floating plate 2371 through a fifth spring 2372, an inner rod 2374 connected to the top of the mounting frame 2373 and used to drive the sleeve rod 234 to move, and a roller 2376 connected to the mounting frame 2373 and cooperating with the rotating block 2375 for telescopic movement.

[0069] In this embodiment, a water replenishing mechanism 23 that is synchronously driven with the primary cleaning mechanism 31 is provided, so that during the poultry feeding process, as the primary cleaning mechanism 31 is running, the water replenishing mechanism 23 can perform a water replenishing operation based on the remaining water in the water feeding trough 236, thereby ensuring sufficient drinking water and facilitating the poultry to drink water after eating.

[0070] In detail, when the cleaning mechanism 31 is running, the rotating block 2375 is driven to rotate by the belt transmission. When the water in the water feeding trough 236 needs to be replenished, due to the decrease in water level, the position of the floating plate 2371 will also slide down on the inner wall of the water feeding trough 236, and then the floating plate 2371 drives the mounting frame 2373 and the roller 2376 to descend to a certain position. At this time, the rotating block 2375 is squeezed with the roller 2376 during the rotation process, so that the roller 2376 drives the mounting frame 2373 to move horizontally, and the mounting frame 2373 drives the inner rod 2374 to move, and the inner rod 2374 then drives the sleeve rod 234 And the water stop plug 235 moves, and then the water stop plug 235 cancels the closure of the second water outlet pipe 233, so that the water flows from the first water outlet pipe 231 to the second water outlet pipe 233, and then flows into the water feeding trough 236 from the second water outlet pipe 233, and then under the elastic force of the fifth spring 2372, the water stop plug 235 returns to the initial position to stop water intake, and so on. As the block rotates and continuously drives the water stop plug 235 to open, the rising water level causes the position of the floating plate 2371 to rise, and then drives the mounting frame 2373 and the roller 2376 to rise, and finally the roller 2376 is no longer in contact with the rotating block 2375, and the water replenishment work is completed.

[0071] Further, if Figures 3-4 and Figure 9 As shown, the primary cleaning mechanism 31 includes a plurality of groups of cylinders 311 arranged in parallel inside the cage 1, a plurality of groups of scrapers 312 connected to the inner wall of the cage 1 and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cylinder 311, a plurality of avoidance grooves 313 opened on the scrapers 312, a plurality of second gears 314 connected to the outer wall of the cylinder 311 and meshing with each other between adjacent two, and a third gear 316 connected to the output end of the third motor 315 and meshing with the second gear 314. The third motor 315 drives the rotating block 2375 to rotate through a belt drive.

[0072] In this embodiment, by arranging multiple groups of cylinders 311 arranged in parallel inside the cage body 1, on the one hand, it can provide support for poultry, and on the other hand, it is convenient to clean the inside of the cage body 1, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the breeding environment, reducing the occurrence of poultry disease risks, and improving the breeding quality.

[0073] Specifically, when feeding poultry, the activity area has been emptied. At this time, the third motor 315 drives the third gear 316 to rotate, and the third gear 316 drives the meshing second gear 314 to rotate. Furthermore, multiple adjacent and meshing second gears 314 rotate, and finally multiple cylinders 311 rotate to discharge most of the waste inside the cage body 1. During the process, the surface of the cylinder 311 can be cleaned more thoroughly through the cooperation of the rotation of the cylinder 311 and the scraper 312.

[0074] Furthermore, as Figures 2-4 、 Figures 9-11 shown, the secondary cleaning mechanism 32 includes:

[0075] A blockage prevention component 321, the blockage prevention component 321 includes a first driving cylinder 3212 horizontally connected to one side of the cage body 1 and an output end connected to an installation rod 3211, a rotating rod 3214 connected to one end of the installation rod 3211 and provided with a plurality of groups of cleaning strips 3213, a first gear 3215 connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 3214, a first rack 3216 connected to the cage body 1 and meshing with the first gear 3215, and a triangular block a 3217 and a triangular block b 3218 respectively connected to the bottom of the installation rod 3211;

[0076] A feather removal component 322, the feather removal component 322 includes a sliding plate 3222 connected to the bottom of the cage body 1 and connected with a second reciprocating lead screw 3221, two fourth gears 3223 respectively connected to the output ends of the second reciprocating lead screw 3221 and the third motor 315 and meshing with each other, a plurality of insertion rods 3224 connected to one side of the sliding plate 3222 and one end inserted into the cylinder 311, a follower plate 3226 connected to the inner wall of the cylinder 311 through a fourth spring 3225 and moving by being squeezed by the insertion rod 3224, and a plurality of cleaning rods 3227 connected to one side of the follower plate 3226 and penetrating through the cylinder 311.

[0077] In this embodiment, by setting the blockage prevention component 321, some larger feathers that have not been cleaned can be left in the cage body 1 during the process of the product 100 being output outward and will not be discharged into the product output mechanism 4 along with the product 100 to affect its work. At the same time, after the product 100 is output, under the action of the feather removal component 322, the feathers are knocked off and discharged outside the cage body 1 to complete the secondary cleaning work.

[0078] Specifically, when starting the output work of the product 100, first start the first driving cylinder 3212. The output end of the first driving cylinder 3212 drives the mounting rod 3211 to move. The mounting rod 3211 drives the rotating rod 3214 to move. The rotating rod 3214 drives the first gear 3215 to move. During this process, the first gear 3215 meshes with the first rack 3216, causing the rotating rod 3214 to rotate, and then driving a plurality of cleaning bars 3213 to rotate, so as to flick the lifted feathers in the direction opposite to the product 100, preventing them from being discharged along with the product 100. When the output of the product 100 is completed and the anti-blocking assembly 321 returns to the initial position, start the third motor 315 again. The third motor 315 rotates to continue driving the first cleaning assembly to rotate. At the same time, the second reciprocating lead screw 3221 is driven to rotate by two meshing fourth gears 3223. Then the second reciprocating lead screw 3221 drives the sliding plate 3222 to move. When the sliding plate 3222 moves, it drives a plurality of insertion rods 3224 to move, so that one end of the insertion rod 3224 presses against one side of the follower plate 3226, causing the follower plate 3226 to drive a plurality of cleaning rods 3227 to extend out of the cylinder 311 and rotate together, knocking off the longer feathers. When rotating, the cleaning rods 3227 pass through a plurality of avoidance grooves 313 on the scraper 312. Under the action of the second reciprocating lead screw 3221, the feather removal assembly 322 gradually returns to the initial position as the rotation progresses. The follower plate 3226 drives the cleaning rods 3227 to retract under the action of the fourth spring 3225.

[0079] It should be noted that when the first cleaning assembly works for the first time, it will drive the feather removal assembly 322 to work, causing the insertion rod 3224 in the feather removal assembly 322 to move forward. The working time of the first cleaning assembly for the first time will stop before the insertion rod 3224 contacts the follower plate 3226, preventing the cleaning rods 3227 from extending out and affecting the work of the product 100 output mechanism 4. The material of the cleaning rods 3227 is rubber. The initial state of the insertion rod 3224 is inside the cylinder 311, so that when the cylinder 311 rotates, the insertion rod 3224 also rotates accordingly. A plurality of ball bearings are provided at the contact where the cleaning rods 3227 penetrate through the cylinder 311 to assist the cleaning rods 3227 in expanding and contracting.

[0080] Furthermore, as Figures 3-4 and Figures 16-18 shown, the transfer mechanism 41 includes:

[0081] The lifting assembly 411 is used to intermittently lift the product 100 and move it outwards. It includes a plurality of first pallets 4111 arranged in parallel below the waste removal mechanism 3, two long rods 4113 connected to L-shaped rotating rods 4112 and used to connect the plurality of first pallets 4111, and a first motor 4114 sliding on the cage body 1 and connected to one of the L-shaped rotating rods 4112. The first motor 4114 is driven by a triangular block a3217 and a triangular block b3218 to move horizontally;

[0082] The buffer assembly 412 is used to slow down the collision between the product 100 and the waste removal mechanism 3 when the product 100 falls. It includes a second pallet 4122 connected to the inner walls on both sides of the first pallet 4111 and connected to the bottom of the first pallet 4111 through two first springs 4121, two buffer strips 4123 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second pallet 4122 and connected to the top of the first pallet 4111, a slide rod 4126 connected to the bottom of the buffer strip 4123 and connected to one side of the slider 4125 through a limit ring 4124 and used to cooperate with the movement of the slider 4125 to drive the buffer strip 4123 to stretch and contract, and a second spring 4127 connected between the two sliders 4125.

[0083] It is worth mentioning here that since most of the collection of the product 100 is achieved by manual picking or by setting an inclined bottom of the cage body 1. Manual picking requires a lot of time and energy, while using an inclined cage body 1 will cause the products 100 to roll and collide with each other during the rolling process, increasing the occurrence of cracks in the product 100 and reducing the production efficiency. The lifting assembly 411 in the transfer mechanism 41 can lift and move the product 100 outwards, reducing the situation of random rolling. And during each lifting and falling process, the buffer assembly 412 can well weaken the collision between the product 100 and the cylinder 311, better protect the product 100 and reduce the occurrence of cracks, improving the quality.

[0084] Specifically, after the anti-blocking component 321 is activated, the triangular block a3217 contacts and presses against the first motor 4114, causing the first motor 4114 to drive the entire lifting component 411 to move horizontally through the output end, thereby moving the first support plate 4111 to the gap between the cylinders 311. At this time, the first motor 4114 is started, and the first motor 4114 drives one of the L-shaped rotating rods 4112 to rotate through the output shaft. The L-shaped rotating rod 4112 drives multiple groups of first support plates 4111 to rotate in a circular motion through the long rod 4113, intermittently driving the product 100 to move outward. During the process, when the first support plate 4111 moves upward, the second support plate 4122 first contacts the product 100. Due to the gravity of the product 100, the second support plate 4122 moves downward and presses against the sliders 4125 on both sides. When the sliders 4125 move, they push the slide rods 4126. The slide rods 4126 drive the buffer strips 4123 to extend and closely adhere to both sides of the product 100 under the restriction of the limit rings 4124. When driving the product 100 to descend, the buffer strips 4123 on both sides can weaken the collision between the product 100 and the cylinders 311, thereby playing a protective role. As the lifting component 411 continues to rotate downward, the first support plate 4111 gradually separates from the product 100. Under the action of the first spring 4121 and the second spring 4127 respectively, the first support plate 4111 and the sliders 4125 both return to their initial positions to prepare for the next lift. After the product 100 is output, the anti-blocking component 321 starts to reset. During the process, the triangular block b3218 presses and pushes one side of the first motor 4114 to drive the lifting mechanism back to its initial position.

[0085] It should be noted that the transfer mechanism 41 needs to be activated after the anti-blocking component 321 works, while the feather removal component 322 is activated after the transfer mechanism 41 and the anti-blocking component 321 are completed. The bottom of the first motor 4114 is assisted in moving through the guide rail provided with a damper, so that the first motor 4114 will not shift during the working state.

[0086] Furthermore, as Figures 1-2 and Figures 13-15 shown, the collection mechanism 42 includes an organizing component 421 for preliminarily organizing and arranging the product 100, an orientation adjusting component 422 provided at the outlet of the organizing component 421 to adjust the transmission state of the product 100, and a storage component 423 for storing the product 100.

[0087] The rectifying assembly 421 includes a first conveying unit 4212 which is provided with a plurality of grooves 4210 and cooperates with a comb-shaped plate 4211 to collect the product 100, two groups of flow guiding plates 4213 symmetrically connected to the cage body 1 and located above the first conveying unit 4212, a plurality of rotating shafts 4215 around which the same conveyor belt 4214 is wound, a plurality of baffle plates 4216 equidistantly arranged on the outer wall of the conveyor belt 4214, a flow dividing plate 4217 connected to the flow guiding plate 4213, and two groups of first driving members 4218 respectively arranged on both sides of the first conveying unit 4212 and used to drive the first conveying unit 4212 and the conveyor belt 4214 to rotate;

[0088] The alignment assembly 422 includes a half gear 4221 connected to one of the rotating shafts 4215, a driving rack 4224 connected to a fixed plate 4223 through a spring member 4222 and meshing with the half gear 4221, and a lever 4225 connected to one side of the driving rack 4224;

[0089] The storage assembly 423 includes a temporary storage channel 4231 connected to one side of the flow guiding plate 4213, a connecting rod 4233 connected with a blocking plate 4232, a pawl 4236 connected to one side of the connecting rod 4233 through a torsion spring member 4234, a storage box 4235 connected to the cage body 1, a collection box 4237 which is provided with a plurality of pushing grooves 4230 and cooperates with the pawl 4236, a second conveying unit 4239 connected to the cage body 1 and used to drive the arranged collection box 4237 after collection, and a second driving member 42310 used to drive the connecting rod 4233 and the second conveying unit 4239 to work.

[0090] In this embodiment, by setting the rectifying assembly 421, the product 100 conveyed by the transfer mechanism 41 is collected, and it is initially arranged to facilitate storage, and at the same time, the collision generated when the products 100 are aggregated can be reduced. And under the action of the alignment assembly 422, the output angle of each product 100 can be correctly aligned to facilitate unified storage. Finally, under the action of the storage assembly 423, the products 100 can be sequentially stored and placed in the collection box 4237, reducing manual participation and improving the degree of automation.

[0091] Specifically, when the product 100 is gradually conveyed outwards from the inside of the cage body 1 under the action of the transfer mechanism 41, the product 100 first separates from the transfer mechanism 41 at the comb-shaped plate 4211 and slides into the groove 4210 formed on the surface of the first conveying unit 4212 to limit its movement, reducing the situation of cracking due to rolling by its own gravity and collision. Then, under the drive of the first driving member 4218, the first conveying unit 4212 conveys the product 100 forward. At the same time, the shunt plate 4217 conveys the product 100 towards both sides. Then, under the drive of the first driving member 4218, the rotating shaft 4215 and the conveyor belt 4214 are driven to rotate, and the conveyor belt 4214 drives a plurality of baffle plates 4216 to move, gradually pushing the product 100 into the channel between the two diversion plates 4213. Then, driven by one of the rotating shafts 4215, the semi-gear 4221 starts to rotate, driving the driving rack 4224 engaged with it to move. The driving rack 4224 drives the lever 4225 to move to adjust the position and angle of the product 100. When it rotates to the smooth side, the driving rack 4224 returns to the initial position under the action of the spring member 4222, and works in this way repeatedly. When the product 100 moves into the temporary storage channel 4231, the second driving member 42310 is started to drive the first reciprocating lead screw 4238 to rotate. The first reciprocating lead screw 4238 drives the connecting rod 4233 to move. When the connecting rod 4233 moves, on the one hand, it drives the blocking plate 4232 to move to open the temporary storage channel 4231, and on the other hand, it drives the pawl 4236 to move through the torsion spring 225 member and pushes the collection box 4237 forward by a certain distance through the push groove 4230 at the bottom of the collection box 4237, so that the product 100 falls into the holes of the collection box 4237. As the first reciprocating lead screw 4238 rotates, the connecting rod 4233 drives the blocking plate 4232 to close the temporary storage channel 4231, and at the same time drives the pawl 4236 back to the initial position, and so on. A plurality of collection boxes 4237 are arranged in the storage box. After the previous collection box 4237 is completely pushed out, the collection box 4237 inside automatically falls under the action of gravity for replenishment. The collected collection boxes 4237 are arranged and placed by the second conveying unit 4239 under the drive of the second driving member 42310.

[0092] It should be noted that the inside of the collection box 4237 is provided with EPE to ensure the safety of the product 100; a pressure sensor is arranged inside the temporary storage channel 4231 to identify whether there is a product 100 to be output through the pressure sensor, so as to start the second driving member 42310.

[0093] Embodiment 2

[0094] As Figure 6 shown, the same or corresponding components as those in Embodiment 1 are denoted by the corresponding reference numerals in Embodiment 1. For the sake of simplicity, only the differences from Embodiment 1 will be described below. The difference between this Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that:

[0095] Further, as Figures 1-2 and Figures 6-7 shown, the driving mechanism 21 includes:

[0096] A limiting component 211 that limits the activity position of the chicken flock and includes two first guardrails 2111 and 2112 arranged in parallel and connected to one side of the cage body 1, a second driving cylinder 2113 connected to one side of the cage body 1 and with its output end connected to the first guardrail 2111, and a Z-shaped rod 2114 connected to one side of the first guardrail 2111 and having a fixing hole 2110 opened at the top of one end;

[0097] A locking component 212 that fixes the position of the limiting component 211 and includes a jack 2120 opened on one side of the second guardrail 2112, a engaging member 2121 connected to the top of the second guardrail 2112 and cooperating with the fixing hole 2110, a trapezoidal block 2122 connected to one side of the cage body 1 and used to drive the engaging member 2121 to move upward to release the engagement, and a U-shaped stopper 2124 connected to the inner wall of the cage body 1 through a third spring 2123.

[0098] In this embodiment, by setting the limiting component 211 and the locking component 212, the driving component stays at a certain position after working to facilitate restricting the position of the poultry, thereby realizing the work of timed feeding and activities.

[0099] Specifically, when it is necessary to drive the poultry to the feeding area, first, the second driving cylinder 2113 is activated to drive the first guardrail 2111 to move, thereby driving the poultry towards the feeding area. During this process, the first guardrail 2111 drives the Z-shaped rod 2114 to move. When the Z-shaped rod 2114 moves, it squeezes the U-shaped stopper 2124 on the inner wall of the cage body 1 downward, so as to release the limit on the second guardrail 2112. Then, one end of the Z-shaped rod 2114 pushes the second guardrail 2112 to move. When the second guardrail 2112 moves to the end and can no longer move, the engaging part 2121 is pressed by the Z-shaped rod 2114 to snap into the fixing hole 2110 of the Z-shaped rod 2114, connecting the second guardrail 2112 and the Z-shaped rod 2114. At this time, the poultry is in the feeding area under the joint limit of the first guardrail 2111 and the second guardrail 2112. After feeding, the second driving cylinder 2113 is activated to drive the first guardrail 2111 and the second guardrail 2112 to move together. During this process, the U-shaped stopper 2124 is always in a contracted state at the bottom of the Z-shaped rod 2114. As the second guardrail 2112 moves to the middle position of the U-shaped stopper 2124, the Z-shaped rod 2114 begins to release the extrusion of the U-shaped stopper 2124. The U-shaped stopper 2124 rises under the elastic force of the third spring 2123 to limit the position of the second guardrail 2112 inside it. At the same time, when the Z-shaped rod 2114 continues to move, the top of the engaging part 2121 contacts and presses the trapezoidal block 2122, causing the engaging part 2121 to move out of the fixing hole 2110 to cancel the connection between the first guardrail 2111 and the second guardrail 2112. Then, the first guardrail 2111 returns to its initial position. At this time, the poultry is in the activity area under the limit of the first guardrail 2111 and the second guardrail 2112 for free-range farming to strengthen the activity.

[0100] It should be noted that the two sides of the U-shaped stopper 2124 are inclined, which is convenient for extrusion and contraction. The heights of the first guardrail 2111 and the second guardrail 2112 can be adjusted according to the actual size of the poultry. For example, the rotation and telescoping of bolts are used to change the heights of the first guardrail 2111 and the second guardrail 2112 respectively to meet the breeding needs.

[0101] Working process:

[0102] First, through the feeding mechanism 2, the poultry can be driven to the feeding area for feeding work at a fixed time every day. At the same time, after the activity area of the poultry is vacated, the waste removal mechanism 3 starts to clean the environment, discharging the excrement, feathers and other sundries inside the cage body 1 to ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of the breeding environment. During this process, the product 100 output mechanism 4 conveys the product 100 of the poultry outside the cage body 1 and completes the collection work under the action of the collection mechanism 42.
