Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of broiler technology, specifically to a tracked automatic chicken cage. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of society, agriculture and animal husbandry have become increasingly developed. Broilers are poultry raised by humans for the production of chicken meat and have important economic value. Generally, large numbers of broilers are raised in cages for easy feeding and management.
[0003] With the development of the broiler market and the increase in breeding volume, broilers have been transformed from floor raising to net raising and then to cage raising. Breeding technology has been gradually improving. Usually, when broilers are removed, the conventional method is to pull the tray to remove them, causing the broilers to fall onto the lower conveyor belt and be conveyed out. This method of removing broilers can easily cause injury to the broilers due to stress response when the tray is pulled, and the efficiency of manual operation is low. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Preferably, the unloading component includes: two fixing plates disposed inside the conveyor frame support; a support plate on the bottom surface of each fixing plate; a unloading plate on the top surface of each support plate; a first connecting rod on one side of each fixing plate, one end of which is rotatably connected to the support plate; a second connecting rod on one side of each fixing plate, one end of which is rotatably connected to the support plate; two second drive motors fixedly connected to one side of each fixing plate; the drive shafts of the two second drive motors passing through the fixing plate and fixedly connected to the first and second connecting rods respectively; a connecting member disposed on one side of the fixing plate for connecting the conveyor frame support and the mesh cover; a snap-fit member disposed on one side of the support plate for snapping the first and second connecting rods together; and a driving member disposed on the top surface of the support plate for driving the unloading plate.
[0010] Preferably, the connector includes a second connecting block, which is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed plate, and one end of the second connecting block is connected to the support of the conveyor frame.
[0011] Preferably, the latching component includes: a latching block, which is rotatably connected to one side of the support plate, a second fixing block is fixedly connected to one side of the support plate, a plurality of return springs are fixedly connected to one side of the second fixing block, one end of the return springs is fixedly connected to the latching block, and a latching rod is fixedly connected to one side of one of the second connecting rods.
[0012] Preferably, the snap-fit component further includes a connecting handle, which is fixedly connected to one side of the snap-fit block.
[0013] Preferably, the driving component includes: two sliding grooves, both of which are formed on the top surface of the support plate; two second electric push rods are fixedly connected to one side of the support plate; the telescopic shafts of the second electric push rods pass through the support plate and extend into the interior of the sliding grooves; a sliding block is slidably connected inside the sliding grooves; the sliding block is fixedly connected to the telescopic shafts of the second electric push rods; and the sliding block is fixedly connected to the feed plate.
[0014] Preferably, a sound-absorbing pad is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the partition net.
[0015] In summary, the present invention has the following main beneficial effects:
[0016] The broiler chickens are positioned on top of the conveyor belt and below the top mesh via a set conveyor frame. When chickens need to be unloaded, the drive shaft of the second drive motor rotates, causing the first and second connecting rods to rotate. This moves the first and second connecting rods, along with the support plate and the feeding plate, to the same height as the conveyor belt. As the second and first connecting rods rotate, the locking block is squeezed by the locking rod, causing it to rotate and stretch the return spring. When the second and first connecting rods are completely horizontal, the locking rod enters the locking block, and the potential energy of the return spring releases, causing the locking block to reset, thus locking the first and second connecting rods to ensure the stability of the support plate. Then, the telescopic shaft of the second electric push rod retracts, causing the sliding block to move, which in turn moves the feeding plate until it is close to the conveyor belt. The distance between the conveyor belt and the feeding plate is one centimeter to prevent the feeding plate from affecting the operation of the conveyor belt. Then, the first drive motor... The drive shaft rotates, causing the rotating block to rotate. The telescopic shaft of the rotating block retracts, which in turn drives the first connecting block to move, causing the first connecting block to rotate the mesh door and open it. When the mesh door rotates, it simultaneously drives the fixed column to move, which in turn pulls the thin steel wire to slide inside the first pulley. Due to the limiting sleeve restricting the thin steel wire, the thin steel wire slides on the second pulley and pulls the partition net into the protective frame. When the mesh door rotates 90 degrees, the partition net is completely inside the partition net, thus removing the partition net from the broiler chickens. When the partition net is completely inside the protective frame, the sound-absorbing pad will contact the protective frame, thereby reducing noise generation and minimizing interference to the broiler chickens. At this point, the broiler chickens are transported by the conveyor belt and then unloaded by the feeding plate. Compared with the existing plate-pulling method, this application makes the broiler chicken unloading more convenient and efficient, and at the same time, it will not cause stress or injury to the broiler chickens.

Detailed Implementation
[0030] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] refer to Figures 1-12 A tracked automatic chicken cage includes: a conveyor frame 1, a mesh cover 2 fixedly connected inside the support of the conveyor frame 1, several fixing strips 3 fixedly connected inside the conveyor frame 1, a protective frame 4 fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the fixing strips 3, a partition net 5 slidably connected inside the protective frame 4, a top net 6 fixedly connected between every two connected protective frames 4, a thin steel wire 7 fixedly connected to the top surface of the partition net 5, a mesh door 8 inside the support of the conveyor frame 1, the mesh door 8 rotatably connected to the conveyor frame 1, a pulling component on the top surface of the mesh door 8 for pulling the top net 6, an opening and closing component on one side of the conveyor frame 1 for opening and closing the mesh door 8, and a feeding component inside the support of the conveyor frame 1 for feeding broilers.
[0032] As a further aspect of the present invention, the pulling component includes: a plurality of fixed posts 9, all of which are fixedly connected to the top surface of the mesh door 8; a retaining strip 19 is provided on one side of the mesh door 8; the mesh cover 2 is fixedly connected to the retaining strip 19; a plurality of first pulleys 10 are fixedly connected to the top surface of the retaining strip 19; a fixing frame 11 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the fixing strip 3; two second pulleys 12 are rotatably connected inside the fixing frame 11; a limiting sleeve 36 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the fixing strip 3; one end of the thin steel wire 7 passes through the fixing strip 3 and is connected to the fixed post 9 via the second pulley 12, the limiting sleeve 36, and the first pulley 10.
[0033] As a further part of the present invention, the opening and closing component includes: a first fixing block 13, which is fixedly connected to one side of the support of the conveyor frame 1; a rotating block 14 is provided on the top surface of the first fixing block 13; a first drive motor 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the first fixing block 13; the drive shaft of the first drive motor 15 passes through the first fixing block 13 and is fixedly connected to the rotating block 14; a first electric push rod 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating block 14; a first connecting block 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the mesh door 8; a rotating block 18 is rotatably connected inside the first connecting block 17; and one end of the telescopic shaft of the first electric push rod 16 is fixedly connected to the rotating block 18.
[0034] When the mesh gate 8 is rotated, it will synchronously drive the fixed column 9 to move, which in turn causes the fixed column 9 to pull the thin steel wire 7 to slide inside the first pulley 10. Since the limiting sleeve 36 restricts the thin steel wire 7, the thin steel wire 7 slides on the second pulley 12 and pulls the partition net 5 into the interior of the protective frame 4. When the mesh gate 8 rotates ninety degrees, the partition net 5 is completely inside the protective frame 4, and the partition net 5 is released from the chickens.
[0035] As a further aspect of the present invention, the unloading component includes: two fixing plates 20, which are disposed inside the support of the conveyor frame 1; a support plate 21 is provided on the bottom surface of the fixing plate 20; an unloading plate 22 is provided on the top surface of the support plate 21; a first connecting rod 23 is provided on one side of the fixing plate 20, one end of which is rotatably connected to the support plate 21; a second connecting rod 24 is provided on one side of the fixing plate 20, one end of which is rotatably connected to the support plate 21; two second drive motors 25 are fixedly connected to one side of the fixing plate 20, and the drive shafts of the two second drive motors 25 pass through the fixing plate 20 and are fixedly connected to the first connecting rod 23 and the second connecting rod 24 respectively; a connector is provided on one side of the fixing plate 20 for connecting the support of the conveyor frame 1 and the mesh cover 2; a snap-fit is provided on one side of the support plate 21 for snapping the first connecting rod 23 and the second connecting rod 24; and a drive component is provided on the top surface of the support plate 21 for driving the unloading plate 22.
[0036] When chickens need to be unloaded, the drive shaft of the second drive motor 25 rotates, causing the first connecting rod 23 and the second connecting rod 24 to rotate, so that the first connecting rod 23 and the second connecting rod 24 drive the support plate 21 and the feeding plate 22 to move to the same height as the conveyor frame 1, which facilitates the unloading of broiler chickens later.
[0037] As a further part of the present invention, the connector includes: a second connecting block 26, which is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing plate 20, and one end of the second connecting block 26 is connected to the support of the conveying frame 1.
[0038] The second connecting block 26 can connect the support of the conveyor frame 1 to the fixing plate 20, thereby reinforcing it.
[0039] As a further part of the present invention, the snap-fit component includes: a snap-fit block 27, which is rotatably connected to one side of the support plate 21. A second fixing block 28 is fixedly connected to one side of the support plate 21. A plurality of return springs 29 are fixedly connected to one side of the second fixing block 28. One end of the return spring 29 is fixedly connected to the snap-fit block 27. A snap-fit rod 30 is fixedly connected to one side of one of the second connecting rods 24.
[0040] As a further part of the present invention, the snap-fit component also includes a connecting handle 31, which is fixedly connected to one side of the snap-fit block 27.
[0041] With the locking block 27 in place, when the second link 24 and the first link 23 rotate, the locking block 27 will be squeezed by the locking rod 30, thus rotating and stretching the return spring 29. When the second link 24 and the first link 23 are in a horizontal state, the locking rod 30 enters the interior of the locking block 27. Under the release of the potential energy of the return spring 29, the locking block 27 resets, thereby locking the first link 23 and the second link 24 to ensure the stability of the support plate 21. To unlock later, simply press down on the connecting handle 31 to make the connecting handle 31 drive the locking block 27 to rotate, causing the locking rod 30 to disengage from the interior of the locking block 27. This allows the support plate 21 and the feeding plate 22 to reset through the first link 23 and the second link 24, achieving the storage effect of the support plate 21 and the feeding plate 22 when the chicken is not being discharged.
[0042] As a further part of the present invention, the driving component includes: two sliding grooves 32, both of which are formed on the top surface of the support plate 21. Two second electric push rods 33 are fixedly connected to one side of the support plate 21. The telescopic shafts of the second electric push rods 33 pass through the support plate 21 and extend into the interior of the sliding grooves 32. A sliding block 34 is slidably connected inside the sliding grooves 32. The sliding block 34 is fixedly connected to the telescopic shafts of the second electric push rods 33 and to the unloading plate 22.
[0043] The second electric push rod 33 is installed. The telescopic shaft of the second electric push rod 33 retracts, which drives the sliding block 34 to move. In turn, the sliding block 34 drives the unloading plate 22 to move until the unloading plate 22 is close to the track of the conveyor frame 1. The distance between the track of the conveyor frame 1 and the unloading plate 22 is one centimeter, so as to prevent the unloading plate 22 from affecting the operation of the track of the conveyor frame 1.
[0044] As a further part of the present invention, a sound-absorbing pad 35 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the partition net 5.
[0045] With the sound-absorbing pad 35 installed, when the partition net 5 is completely inside the protective frame 4, the sound-absorbing pad 35 will come into contact with the protective frame 4, thereby reducing the generation of noise and reducing interference to the broilers.
[0046] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
