Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of poultry breeding, in particular to a feces cleaning device for caged chicken houses. Background Art

[0002] Chicken is a kind of bird that has been domesticated for a long time in human history. Chicken is a common source of meat in people's diet. Eggs are also rich in nutrients and are a very delicious food. Therefore, the demand for chicken in modern society is very large, and chicken farming is becoming more and more standardized. In the breeding process, many farmers adopt collective breeding in chicken cages, and a few farmers choose to graze those special chickens in order to meet the variety requirements. The eggs produced by free-range chickens are relatively much more expensive, and the cost will also increase. Cage breeding and free-range breeding each have their own advantages and disadvantages.

[0003] Cage raising of laying hens is an intensive management method for modern laying hens. It is the most common breeding method at present. Almost all large, medium and small farms adopt this method. Since the high-yield laying hens bred in modern times are suitable for intensive production, cage raising is the best choice for laying hens. The cages have three or four layers, and the main placement methods include full overlap, full step, half step, step stacking and single-layer flat, which means that all the cages are arranged on a horizontal plane, and the chicken manure falls directly into the manure trough. Feeding is done by trough, and water is supplied by water line plus nipple drinker or trough.

[0004] In a caged chicken house, one chicken cage can house multiple chickens, and the chickens have very limited space to move around. The feces produced during the breeding process will also fall directly into the manure trough below the chicken cage. The staff needs to clean the manure trough frequently, such as by flushing or scrubbing, to maintain the sanitation of the chicken house and prevent infectious diseases from occurring during the breeding process, which can cause large-scale losses. The chicken cages currently used generally have a sloped railing-type bottom surface at the bottom, which directly transfers the eggs to the egg trough after the chickens lay them. However, even with the railing-type bottom surface, some chicken feces cannot be prevented from staying on the metal rods. It is not possible to clean the manure troughs thoroughly, and cleaning the metal rods at the bottom requires the chickens to be taken out, which causes great inconvenience. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a feces cleaning device for caged chicken houses to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology. A structure is proposed to facilitate the cleaning of feces at the bottom of the chicken cage, which can quickly complete the feces cleaning of the chicken cage without the need to transfer the chickens, reduce the difficulty of operation, and improve the sanitation effect.

The inclined surface originally formed by the guide rods under the chicken feet is transformed into an inclined surface formed by the cross bars. Therefore, the overall position of the chicken is raised. The bottom of the chicken cage can be cleaned without moving the chicken out of the chicken cage, and flushing will not cause the chicken to get wet. The problem of needing to place the chicken elsewhere during large cleaning is solved, which greatly reduces the difficulty of cleaning and improves the breeding hygiene of caged chickens.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. 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 creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] See also Figures 1 to 6 In an embodiment of the present invention, a feces cleaning device for a caged chicken house comprises a bracket 1 and a chicken cage 3; a plurality of rows of chicken cages 3 are mounted on the bracket 1, a manure trough 35 is provided on the bracket 1 between each row of chicken cages 3, a side of the chicken cage 3 close to the manure trough 35 is provided with an inclined grid plate 33, and the inclined grid plate 33 is composed of a plurality of mutually parallel guide rods 331; a lifting structure 2 is provided in the middle of the bracket 1, and the lifting structure 2 comprises a guide plate 24 located between the two chicken cages 3, the guide plate 24 is placed vertically, and a plurality of cleaning structures 4 located between each chicken cage 3 and the manure trough 35 are respectively provided on both sides of the guide plate 24; the cleaning structure 4 comprises a mounting seat 41 fixedly mounted on one side of the guide plate 24, A plurality of connecting rods 421 are installed on the guide plate 24 near the mounting seat 41, and the connecting rods 421 are connected to a support plate 42 which is obliquely inserted into the manure trough 35, and the support plate 42 is connected to a cleaning frame 43 which is fitted with the shape of the manure trough 35, and track grooves 431 are arranged on both sides of the cleaning frame 43, and a translation structure 5 is arranged inside the track groove 431, and a brush 44 is connected between the translation structures 5, and the brush 44 is provided with oblique and staggered bristles 441 on multiple surfaces; the end of the support plate 42 away from the cleaning frame 43 is connected to a plurality of cross bars 45 parallel to the cleaning frame 43, and the cross bars 45 are arranged in gaps with the guide rods 331, and the end of the cross bars 45 away from the support plate 42 is connected to the cleaning frame 43 through a vertical rod 451.

[0023] The device fixes the chicken cages 3 on two sides in a multi-row arrangement on the bracket 1. The bottom of each chicken cage 3 uses a plurality of inclined guide rods 331 as the ground surface, and a manure trough 35 is provided under each chicken cage 3 for collecting manure. At the same time, the device is also provided with a cleaning structure 4 that penetrates the bracket 1. For the convenience of observation, only one connection mode between the chicken cage 3 and the manure trough 35 is shown in the attached drawings of the device. Therefore, the length of the cleaning structure 4 is also adaptively adjusted. When multiple chicken cages 3 are arranged in parallel, it is only necessary to extend the length of the cleaning structure 4 to perform uniform cleaning.

[0024] A guide plate 24 that can be raised and lowered is provided in the middle of the bracket 1, and the cleaning structure 4 is installed on the guide plate 24, and is connected to the support plate 42 by a connecting rod 421, and a cleaning frame 43 is placed in the manure trough 35, and the width of the cleaning frame 43 is substantially consistent with the width of the manure trough 35. The brush 44 provided in the cleaning frame 43 can move back and forth following the translation structure 5, and while moving, the space inside the manure trough 35 is brushed, and the manure trough 35 can be thoroughly cleaned by cooperating with an external water source for water supply.

[0025] When the inclined grid plate 33 needs to be cleaned, the guide plate 24 is raised, and the cleaning frame 43 is raised accordingly, and fits under the inclined grid plate 33. Part of the bristles 441 of the brush 44 covers the area where each guide rod 331 is located, and because the bristles 441 are staggered and inclined, they can also cover most of the area on the upper surface of the guide rod 331. The brush 44 moves along the guide rod 331 to achieve a good cleaning effect. When the cleaning frame 43 is raised, the crossbar 45 located at each gap position is also raised accordingly, and is inserted into the chicken cage 3 through the gap of the guide rod 331, replacing the inclined grid plate 33 and becoming the bottom surface that the chicken contacts, thereby directly suspending and raising all the chickens. When cleaning the guide rod 331, the chicken does not need to be taken out, and the cleaning effect can be directly achieved. Therefore, high-frequency cleaning can be performed without considering the problem of repeatedly transferring the chickens, which greatly reduces the difficulty of operation and helps to keep the chicken cage 3 clean.

[0026] Since the present device is mainly designed for cleaning the feces in the chicken cage 3, the chicken cage 3 should be equipped with other infrastructure such as a water feeding device as common knowledge in the field, and no excessive restrictive description is given. There are no excessive restrictions on the structure of flushing water to the manure trough 35, such as using a fixed nozzle or manual flushing, and various water feeding methods or different manure trough 35 flushing methods can meet the structural use requirements of the present device.

[0027] As another embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figures 3 to 5The connecting rod 421 is rotatably connected to the guide plate 24, and a hinge seat 411 is installed on the mounting seat 41. The hinge seat 411 is connected to the primary support rod 46, and the primary support rod 46 is connected to the connecting rod 421 through the secondary support rod 47. Torsion springs 48 are provided at the connection between the primary support rod 46 and the hinge seat 411 and the secondary support rod 47. The connecting rod 421 can rotate slightly, so that the cleaning frame 43 also has a certain rotation range. Since the bottom of the manure trough 35 is horizontal, and the inclined grid plate 33 is provided with an inclined structure to realize the function of automatically discharging eggs, the cleaning frame 43 needs to be at different angles when the two are attached. The hinged seat 411 cooperates with the primary support rod 46, the secondary support rod 47 and the torsion spring 48 to provide a certain supporting force for the cleaning frame 43. At the same time, the primary support rod 46 is located on the surface of the mounting seat 41, and the mounting seat 41 will also limit the arc that the primary support rod 46 can rotate downward, so as to support the cleaning frame 43 to basically maintain a horizontal position. After being lifted and attached to the inclined grid plate 33, it will rotate to an inclined position under the height limit of the inclined grid plate 33 and the guide plate 24, and can return to a horizontal position after leaving the inclined grid plate 33.

[0028] See also Figure 3 and Figure 6 The translation structure 5 includes an adjusting screw 51 horizontally installed in the track groove 431, a threaded barrel 52 is installed on the adjusting screw 51, and the threaded barrel 52 is connected to the brush 44. A primary motor 53 is installed at one end of the track groove 431, and the primary motor 53 is connected to the adjusting screw 51. The primary motor 53 drives the adjusting screw 51 to rotate and drives the threaded barrel 52 to move. The threaded barrel 52 drives the brush 44 to clean the manure trough 35 and the inclined grid plate 33.

[0029] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a plurality of transverse plates 11 are installed on the bracket 1, and the lifting structure 2 includes a winding wheel 21 installed on the transverse plate 11, a sling 22 is wound around the winding wheel 21, and the sling 22 is connected to the guide plate 24, and a secondary motor 23 is installed on the transverse plate 11, and the secondary motor 23 is connected to the winding wheel 21. The transverse plate 11 is used to install the lifting structure 2, and the secondary motor 23 drives the winding wheel 21 to rotate, controls the length of the sling 22 released, and drives the lifting and lowering of the guide plate 24, controls the guide plate 24 to lift and move the cleaning frame 43 to the inclined grid plate 33. The lifting structure 2 described in this device is only a display of a structure with a lifting effect, and should not be regarded as a limitation on the specific structure. Using a hydraulic rod or a screw to control the lifting and lowering of the guide plate 24 also meets the functional requirements of this device.

[0030] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2The chicken cage 3 is provided with a movable grid plate 31 on one side away from the guide plate 24, and a feeding trough 32 located outside the movable grid plate 31 is connected to the bracket 1. A plurality of support bars 12 are installed outside the bracket 1, and the support bars 12 are connected to the feeding trough 32. The movable grid plate 31 can be opened to operate inside the chicken cage 3, and a large number of hollow parts on the surface of the movable grid plate 31 are convenient for chickens to stretch their heads out to eat. The feeding trough 32 located outside can be filled with food for the chickens to eat, and the support bars 12 provide support for the feeding trough 32.

[0031] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The outer side of the chicken cage 3 is provided with an egg taking trough 34 connected to the inclined grid plate 33, and a side of the chicken cage 3 close to the guide plate 24 is provided with a plurality of I-shaped positioning frames 36, and the positioning frames 36 are attached to the surface of the guide plate 24. The egg taking trough 34 is located at the lowest point of the inclined grid plate 33, and the positioning frames 36 are used to limit the position of the guide plate 24, and further ensure that the position of each cleaning frame 43 accurately corresponds to the manure trough 35.

[0032] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 The cleaning frame 43 is provided with a water inlet 433, and the inner wall of the cleaning frame 43 is provided with a plurality of water spray holes 432. The water inlet 433 and the water spray holes 432 are both optional structures and should not be regarded as restrictive structures. The water spray holes 432 can be supplied with water through an external water source, and water can be sprayed toward the brush 44 during the cleaning process to improve the cleaning effect. In order to control the weight of the cleaning frame 43, the water supplied by the cleaning frame 43 should not be used as the main water spray source, but should be used in conjunction with the standing flushing equipment. The working principle of the present invention is: The device is provided with two-sided multi-row chicken cages 3 on a bracket 1, and an inclined slant grid plate 33 is used as the bottom surface of the chicken cage 3 at the bottom, and a manure trough 35 is provided below the chicken cage 3 to collect manure, and a guide plate 24 that can be raised and lowered is provided between the chicken cages 3 on both sides, and the guide plate 24 is connected to a cleaning frame 43, and a brush 44 that can be translated is provided in the cleaning frame 43, and the cleaning frame 43 is placed in the manure trough 35 to clean the manure trough 35, and the guide plate 24 is raised, and the cleaning frame 43 is attached to the slant grid plate 33 from below to clean the slant grid plate 33, and a plurality of groups of suspended cross bars 45 are provided above the cleaning frame 43, and when the cleaning frame 43 is raised, the cross bars 45 enter the chicken cage 3, and raise the position of the bottom surface of the chicken cage 3, so that the chickens are passively raised, and the bottom can be cleaned without moving the chickens out.
