Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention mainly relates to the technical field of breeder chicken feed reward measurement, and in particular to a breeder chicken feed reward measurement device. Background Art

[0002] Feed conversion rate is an indicator to measure the efficiency of animal feed utilization. It represents the weight of feed consumed by animals to produce a certain weight of products (such as meat, eggs, and milk). Feed conversion rate is a very important economic indicator in the breeding industry, which is directly related to breeding costs and economic benefits.

[0003] Existing breeder chickens are usually raised in cages, with each breeder chicken placed in a separate cage. This method helps to improve the management efficiency of the breeder chickens, ensure the health of the breeder chickens, and also facilitates the observation and recording of the growth and reproduction of the breeder chickens. When the breeder chickens are fed with caged feed, a long feeding trough is usually used, and the same weight of feed is poured into each feeding trough. Then, the reward is calculated based on how much feed each breeder chicken eats and how many eggs it produces. However, the amount of feed each breeder chicken eats is different. Some breeder chickens will eat more feed, while some breeder chickens will eat less feed. The farm needs to feed a large number of breeder chickens at one time. Since the feed return of breeder chickens needs to be measured, a certain amount of feed is usually poured into the feed trough in front of each breeder chicken. This certain amount of feed needs to be enough for each breeder chicken to eat. This will cause waste of feed poured in for each breeder chicken, and the breeder chickens that eat less will waste more feed, which will increase feed waste and increase breeding costs. In addition, the existing feed troughs are usually connected in a row, so when the feed return is measured, it is usually measured for a row of breeder chickens, which cannot be accurate to each chicken, and the result of the return measurement is relatively rough. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention aims at the technical problem that the existing technical solutions are too single, and provides a solution that is significantly different from the existing technology. It mainly provides a feed conversion measuring device for breeding chickens, which is used to solve the technical problem that when measuring the existing breeder feed conversion proposed in the above background technology, each chicken needs a sufficient amount of feed, which will cause the chickens that eat less to waste more feed, increasing costs; at the same time, the existing feed conversion measurement can usually only be carried out row by row, and cannot be accurate to each chicken, and the measurement result is relatively rough.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above technical problems is:

[0006] A breeding chicken feed reward measuring device comprises a fixed base, a chicken cage body is arranged above the fixed base, an egg laying trough for collecting and weighing eggs is arranged above the fixed base, and multiple groups of feed troughs for holding feed are arranged above the fixed base, and first adjustment components and second adjustment components are respectively arranged between the multiple groups of feed troughs, and the first adjustment components and the second adjustment components are used to drive the feed trough with more feed to tilt toward the feed trough with less feed.

[0007] Preferably, the chicken cage main body is arranged above the fixed base, a feeding port is provided on one side of the chicken cage main body, an inclined chicken cage base is provided at the bottom of the chicken cage main body, and an opening is provided between one side of the chicken cage base and the chicken cage main body.

[0008] Preferably, a guide block with an inclined upper surface is arranged above the fixed base, the guide block is arranged below the chicken cage base, an egg laying groove is arranged above the fixed base, the lowest point of the upper surface of the guide block is above the egg laying groove, and a weight sensor is arranged below the egg laying groove.

[0009] Preferably, a support plate is arranged above the fixed base, a support base is arranged above the support plate, a push rod is arranged above the support base, and an upper end of the push rod is movably connected to the support platform.

[0010] Preferably, a baffle and a material trough are arranged above the support platform, a second telescopic sleeve is arranged between the support platform and the material trough, the baffles are arranged on both sides of the material trough, a monitoring head is arranged on the inner baffle, and a vibrator is arranged on the outer baffle.

[0011] Preferably, a first telescopic sleeve rod is fixedly mounted on the outermost support base, and an upper end of the first telescopic sleeve rod is movably connected to the support platform.

[0012] Preferably, the first adjustment assembly includes a first hydraulic oil tank and a second hydraulic oil tank, the first hydraulic oil tank is arranged above the support base, the second hydraulic oil tank is arranged above the left adjacent support base, and the first hydraulic oil tank and the second hydraulic oil tank are connected through a first connecting pipe.

[0013] Preferably, a first support rod is slidably connected to the first hydraulic oil tank, and the first support rod passes through the support platform and is movably connected to the material trough. A first counterweight block is slidably connected to the second hydraulic oil tank, and the first counterweight block is movably connected to the left bottom of the left adjacent support platform.

[0014] Preferably, the second adjustment assembly includes a third hydraulic oil tank and a fourth hydraulic oil tank, the third hydraulic oil tank is arranged above the support base, the third hydraulic oil tank is arranged above the adjacent support base on the right side, and the third hydraulic oil tank and the fourth hydraulic oil tank are connected through a second connecting pipe.

[0015] Preferably, the third hydraulic oil tank is slidably connected to a second support rod, the second support rod passes through the support platform and is movably connected to the material trough, and the fourth hydraulic oil tank is slidably connected to a second counterweight block, and the second counterweight block is movably connected to the left bottom of the right adjacent support platform.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: a row of feed troughs is divided into a plurality of groups of small feed troughs, and each feed trough is connected to the adjacent feed troughs on the left and right respectively through the first adjusting component and the second adjusting component. When the feed inside the left feed trough is more than that in the middle feed trough, the first adjusting component will drive the middle feed trough to descend and the left feed trough to tilt toward the middle feed trough, and then cooperate with the vibration of the vibrator to convey part of the material inside the left feed trough into the middle feed trough until the weight of the feed inside the two feed troughs is the same, and the two feed troughs are at the same height and keep balance. The second adjusting component is used to adjust the feed inside the middle feed trough and the right feed trough, and each adjacent feed trough on the left and right can be achieved by the first adjusting component, the second adjusting component and the vibrator, so that each feed trough can be kept in a uniform feed inside. This can prevent some chickens from eating more feed and some chickens from eating less feed, and the problem that the chickens that eat less waste more feed after pouring the feed uniformly, and the feed in the trough in front of the chickens that eat less will be continuously transported into the trough in front of the chickens that eat more, thereby reducing the waste of chicken feed and reducing costs.

[0017] A monitoring head is set on the baffle on each section of the feed trough. The monitoring head is used to monitor the number of times the breeder chickens lower their heads, and then calculate the amount of feed eaten by the breeder chickens. An egg-laying trough is set under each chicken cage body to collect the eggs laid by the breeder chickens inside each chicken cage body, and a weight sensor is set under each egg-laying trough. In this way, the feed reward of each breeder chicken can be monitored instead of monitoring them row by row, so that the data obtained can be more accurate.

[0018] The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0031] Please refer to the attached Figure 1-Figure 7A breeding chicken feed reward measuring device includes a fixed base 1, a chicken cage body 2 is arranged above the fixed base 1, an egg laying trough 6 for collecting and weighing eggs is arranged above the fixed base 1, and multiple groups of feed troughs 14 for holding feed are arranged above the fixed base 1, and first adjustment components and second adjustment components are respectively arranged between the multiple groups of feed troughs 14, and the first adjustment components and the second adjustment components are used to drive the feed troughs 14 with more feed to tilt toward the feed troughs 14 with less feed.

[0032] The specific operation process of the present invention is as follows: an equal amount of feed is transported into each section of the feed trough 14. The breeder chickens in each chicken cage main body 2 will eat the feed in the front feed trough 14, but the amount of feed eaten by each breeder chicken is different. Some breeder chickens eat more and some breeder chickens eat less. When the weight of the feed in the left and right adjacent feed troughs 14 is different, the first adjustment component and the second adjustment component will adjust each adjacent feed trough 14. When the feed in the left feed trough 14 is heavier than the feed in the right feed trough 14, the first adjustment component will drive the left feed trough 14 to tilt, and transport the feed in the left feed trough 14 into the right feed trough 14 until the feed in the two feed troughs 14 is the same and the balance is restored. Similarly, when the right feed trough 14 finally reaches the left feed trough 14, the second adjustment component will drive the right feed trough 14 to tilt and transport the feed into the left feed trough 14 until the balance is restored at the same time. In this way, the feed in multiple groups of feed troughs 14 will be kept uniform to keep the feed in each feed trough 14 uniform, and the eggs laid by the breeder chickens will fall into the egg-laying trough 6 below for collection and weighing.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 3 A chicken cage body 2 is arranged above a fixed base 1, a feeding port 3 is provided on one side of the chicken cage body 2, an inclined chicken cage base 4 is provided at the bottom of the chicken cage body 2, an opening is provided between one side of the chicken cage base 4 and the chicken cage body 2, a guide block 5 with an inclined upper surface is provided above the fixed base 1, the guide block 5 is provided below the chicken cage base 4, an egg laying groove 6 is provided above the fixed base 1, the lowest point of the upper surface of the guide block 5 is above the egg laying groove 6, and a weight sensor 7 is provided below the egg laying groove 6.

[0034] The breeder hens stick their heads out through the feeding opening 3 to eat feed, and the eggs laid by the breeder hens will fall onto the top of the cage base 4, roll downward along the inclined surface of the cage base 4, pass through the opening between the cage base 4 and the cage body 2 and fall onto the top of the guide block 5, and then be guided by the inclined surface of the guide block 5 to fall onto the top of the egg laying trough 6 for collection. A weight sensor 7 is provided below the egg laying trough 6 for weighing the eggs laid by each breeder hens. The egg laying trough 6, the guide block 5 and the cage body 2 may be provided with structures such as straw and sponge that can act as a buffer to prevent the eggs from being damaged during transportation.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 4-Figure 7A support plate 8 is arranged above the fixed base 1, a support base 9 is arranged above the support plate 8, a push rod 26 is arranged above the support base 9, and the upper end of the push rod 26 is movably connected to the support platform 11.

[0036] The support platform 11 is movably connected in the middle by a top rod 26, and the left and right sides are movably connected by a first counterweight block 20 and a second counterweight block 25 respectively. The whole is in a seesaw shape. The support platform 11 is tilted by lifting and lowering the first counterweight block 20 and the second counterweight block 25, so as to drive the feed trough 14 to tilt and transport feed.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 4-Figure 7 A baffle 12 and a material trough 14 are arranged above the support platform 11, a second telescopic sleeve rod 15 is arranged between the support platform 11 and the material trough 14, the baffles 12 are arranged on both sides of the material trough 14, a monitoring head 13 is arranged on the inner baffle 12, and a vibrator 27 is arranged on the outer baffle 12. A first telescopic sleeve rod 10 is fixedly installed on the outermost support base 9, and the upper end of the first telescopic sleeve rod 10 is movably connected to the support platform 11.

[0038] The monitoring head 13 is used to monitor the number of times the breeding chickens lower their heads. The vibrator 27 is used to vibrate the feed trough 14 to assist in conveying feed when the feed trough 14 is tilted. The outermost first telescopic sleeve 10 is used to assist the support platform 11 in tilting. The feed trough 14 and the support platform 11 are connected by the second telescopic sleeve 15. The feed trough 14 on the support platform 11 will only perform a linear lifting motion due to gravity and will not tilt itself. The support platform 11 will tilt to drive the feed trough 14 to tilt, and the feed trough 14 and the support platform 11 will always remain parallel.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 4-Figure 7 The first adjustment assembly includes a first hydraulic oil tank 16 and a second hydraulic oil tank 17. The first hydraulic oil tank 16 is arranged above the support base 9, and the second hydraulic oil tank 17 is arranged above the left adjacent support base 9. The first hydraulic oil tank 16 and the second hydraulic oil tank 17 are connected through a first connecting pipe 18. A first support rod 19 is slidably connected to the first hydraulic oil tank 16, and the first support rod 19 passes through the support platform 11 and is movably connected to the trough 14. A first counterweight block 20 is slidably connected to the second hydraulic oil tank 17, and the first counterweight block 20 is movably connected to the left bottom of the left adjacent support platform 11 The second adjusting component includes a third hydraulic oil tank 21 and a fourth hydraulic oil tank 22. The third hydraulic oil tank 21 is arranged above the support base 9. The third hydraulic oil tank 21 is arranged above the adjacent support base 9 on the right. The third hydraulic oil tank 21 and the fourth hydraulic oil tank 22 are connected through a second connecting pipe 23. A second support rod 24 is slidably connected to the third hydraulic oil tank 21. The second support rod 24 passes through the support platform 11 and is movably connected to the material trough 14. A second counterweight block 25 is slidably connected to the fourth hydraulic oil tank 22. The second counterweight block 25 is movably connected to the left bottom of the adjacent support platform 11 on the right.

[0040] When the feed inside the left trough 14 is lighter than the feed inside the right trough 14, the feed inside the left trough 14 decreases and becomes lighter, and the squeezing pressure of the first support rod 19 on the hydraulic oil inside the first hydraulic oil tank 16 below becomes smaller. Since the first hydraulic oil tank 16 and the second hydraulic oil tank 17 are connected through the first connecting pipe 18, the first counterweight block 20 begins to descend due to the reduced squeezing pressure, and the first counterweight block 20 drives the support platform 11 below the right trough 14 to descend close to the side of the left trough 14. At this time, the right trough 14 is in an inclined state, and the right trough 14 is vibrated by the vibrator 27, and the feed in the right trough 14 is transported into the left trough 14. The feed entering the left trough 14 begins to slowly descend and squeeze the hydraulic oil inside the first hydraulic oil tank 16 below. When the weight of the feed in the two troughs 14 is roughly the same, the two troughs 14 are at the same height to restore balance;

[0041] When the feed inside the left trough 14 is heavier than the feed inside the right trough 14, the feed inside the right trough 14 is reduced and becomes lighter, and the squeezing pressure of the second support rod 24 on the hydraulic oil inside the third hydraulic oil tank 21 below becomes smaller. Since the third hydraulic oil tank 21 and the fourth hydraulic oil tank 22 are connected through the second connecting pipe 23, the second counterweight block 25 begins to descend due to the reduced squeezing pressure, and the second counterweight block 25 drives the support platform 11 below the left trough 14 to descend close to the side of the right trough 14. At this time, the left trough 14 is in an inclined state, and the left trough 14 is vibrated by the vibrator 27. The feed in the left trough 14 will be transported into the right trough 14, and the feed entering the right trough 14 begins to slowly descend and squeeze the hydraulic oil inside the third hydraulic oil tank 21 below. When the weight of the feed in the two troughs 14 is roughly the same, the two troughs 14 are at the same height to restore balance.

[0042] The above is an exemplary description of the present invention in combination with the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned method. As long as such non-substantial improvements are made by adopting the method concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the concept and technical solution of the present invention are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
