Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of farm working vehicles, and in particular to a live poultry transport vehicle and a transport method. Background Art

[0002] The poultry farming industry is developing rapidly on a large scale, with the poultry farming technology being continuously improved and the scale being continuously expanded, but some coexisting problems are also constantly highlighted, such as the problem of transporting and loading chickens, which is currently mainly manifested in high labor intensity and cumbersome processes. The existing method of taking out chickens mainly relies on manual work to grab them out of the breeding cages, put them into turnover cages one by one, stack them on a trolley and transport them outside the house, and then move the cages full of poultry one by one into the cargo box of the transport truck. In this process, when workers grab poultry out of the breeding cages, they have to take the empty cages back and forth, and after each cage is filled, they have to be stacked on a trolley, and then they have to move the cages one by one to the transport truck, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0003] There are some designs of convenient transfer vehicles in the prior art, but they are mainly used for transfer between farm houses. For example, a chicken transfer vehicle for a chicken farm disclosed in CN202122996429.9 is provided with a stacked chicken transfer frame on its transfer device. Although the height of each layer of the chicken transfer frame can be adjusted to facilitate the alignment of the frame door of the chicken transfer frame with the cage door of the chicken cage, the chicken transfer frame of the transfer device is fixed and only applicable between chicken houses, and cannot be loaded and unloaded on a transport vehicle. And the height of the chicken transfer frame needs to be designed according to the height of the chicken houses in different chicken farms, and the versatility is not good. However, there is a great demand in the market to directly use the existing turnover cages on the market to sell bulk poultry, and turnover cages need to be used for transportation during the transfer process. On the other hand, the common poultry turnover cages on the market have upper opening doors and are not suitable for the above-mentioned chicken transfer vehicles.

[0004] In summary, the existing live poultry transport vehicles need to carry cages back and forth during the transfer of poultry, which places high labor intensity on workers and has low transport efficiency. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] The present invention discloses a live poultry transport vehicle, which, when in use, has a multi-layer cage 1 stacked thereon, and is used for transporting live poultry such as chickens and ducks from a breeding farm to a transport vehicle. The cage 1 can be a common turnover cage for live poultry such as chickens / ducks / geese on the market, or can be customized. The commonly used turnover cage on the market has a circle of protruding edges 11 in the middle of the cage body, and the cage door 12 is set at the top.

[0024] like Figure 1-10 As shown in the figure, it is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the transfer vehicle comprises a vehicle body 2, a lifting platform 3, a clamping device 4 and a lifting device 5. Among them: The vehicle body 2 is used to carry various components, and may include a vehicle chassis 21 and wheels 22 disposed below the vehicle chassis 21. The vehicle chassis 21 is provided with a driving device 23 for driving the vehicle body 2 forward or backward. The driving device 23 may be a human push rod connected to one end of the vehicle chassis 21 (as shown in the embodiment in the figure), or may be an electric power device connected to the vehicle chassis 21.

[0025] The lifting platform 3 is arranged on the vehicle body 2, and a plurality of cages 1 are stacked on the lifting platform 3, and the lifting platform 3 is used for lifting each cage 1. The lifting platform 3 can be arranged on the vehicle chassis 21, and can be a hydraulic scissor-type lifting platform (as shown in the embodiment in the figure). Figure 2-3 As shown, the lifting platform 3 can adjust the height so that the cages 1 stacked on it are at the same height as the breeding cage frame or the cargo box platform of the transport vehicle, which is convenient for grabbing live poultry or transferring the cages 1. The lifting platform 3 can be provided with a limit fence 31 to limit the cages 1 and prevent them from falling from the lifting platform 3.

[0026] The clamping device 4 is used to clamp one layer of cages, and it can be implemented in a variety of structures. In this embodiment, the clamping device 4 includes a telescopic frame 41 and a telescopic mechanism 42 that can control the opening and closing of the telescopic frame 41. The telescopic mechanism 42 is clamped under the outer protruding edge 11 of one layer of cages 1 by controlling the opening and closing of the telescopic frame 41 to clamp the layer of cages 1.

[0027] like Figure 4-5 As shown, the telescopic frame 41 of the clamping device 4 may include two opposing clamping arms 411 and two pairs of connecting arms 412. The two clamping arms 411 are connected by two pairs of connecting arms 412, and each pair of connecting arms 412 is connected by a telescopic mechanism 42. The telescopic frame 41 is rectangular in shape when viewed from above. The telescopic mechanism 42 may be an electric push rod (the embodiment shown in the figure). Figure 1 As shown, in order to ensure that the telescopic frame 41 is connected to the lifting device 5 without affecting the telescopic action, a slideway 43 with a limit is provided at the connection between the telescopic frame 41 and the lifting device 5, wherein a pair of connecting arms 412 are placed in the slideway 43. In order to prevent the telescopic frame 41 from interfering with the cage 1 when it is opened, further, a pair of external limit structures (not shown in the figure) can be provided in the slideway 43 and between the connecting arms 412 located in the slideway. The external limit structure allows the two clamp arms 411 to extend outward to the limit distance (hereinafter referred to as the external limit distance), and when they are at the external limit distance, the two clamp arms 411 can move up and down around the periphery of the cage 1. Further, an internal limit structure that limits the two clamp arms from shrinking inward can also be provided, and specifically, a pair of internal limit structures (not shown in the figure) can be provided in the slideway 43 and between the connecting arms 412 therein. The internal limit structure allows the two clamp arms 411 to shrink inward to the limit distance (hereinafter referred to as the internal limit distance), and when they are at the internal limit distance, the two clamp arms 411 can just clamp under the outer protruding edge 11 of a layer of the cage 1. In this embodiment, there are two cages 1 arranged side by side on one layer, and the clamping arms 411 just clamp under the protruding edges of the long sides of the two cages 1. Of course, the outer side surface of the cage 1 can also be directly used as the inner limit structure without setting up an additional inner limit structure. The electric push rod achieves extension and contraction by switching the forward and reverse rotation of its motor. The working process of the clamping device 4 is as follows: when the motor of the electric push rod rotates forward, the electric push rod contracts, and one of the clamping arms 411 first reaches the inner limit structure on the same side of the slide 43 (or touches the side wall of the cage 1) and then stops moving, and then the other clamping arm 411 is driven by the electric push rod to continue to contract to the other inner limit structure (or touches the other side wall of the cage 1). Figure 4As shown, at this time, the telescopic frame 41 is just stuck under the outer protruding edge 11 of one layer of the cage 1, completing the clamping action, and the telescopic frame 41 is in a clamped state. When the motor of the electric push rod reverses, the electric push rod extends, and one of the clamping arms 411 first reaches the outer limit structure on the same side and stops moving, and then the other clamping arm 411 is driven by the electric push rod to continue to extend to the other outer limit structure of the slideway 43, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, at this time, the telescopic frame 41 is in an open state, reaches the extreme position of extension and is centered, and will not interfere with the cage 1 due to deviation from the center. The telescopic frame 41 utilizes the feature that there is a circle of protruding edges 11 in the middle of the cage 1, and can directly clamp the protruding edges 11 by controlling the amount of expansion and contraction in the horizontal direction to clamp the cage. For cages without protruding edges, it is only necessary to use the continuous action of the electric push rod to form the clamping force of the clamping arm 411 on the side of the cage to achieve the clamping of the cage. Of course, if the clamping arm 411 is further designed with a clamping member, the transfer vehicle of the present invention can also be applied to other types of cages.

[0028] Furthermore, the distance between the two pairs of connecting arms 412 can be designed to match the length of one layer of cage 1, so that the connecting arms 412 can also play a role in clamping the protruding edge 11 of the cage 1, so that the telescopic frame 41 clamps the cage 1 more firmly.

[0029] Furthermore, a tripod 44 may be provided below one end of the clamp arm 411 of the telescopic frame 41 close to the lifting device 5, and the tripod 44 may strengthen the force of the clamp arm 411 of the telescopic frame 41 and stabilize the telescopic frame 41. The hypotenuse of the tripod 44 may protrude a certain dimension outside the vehicle relative to the clamp arm 411. When the telescopic frame 41 descends, the hypotenuse of the tripod 44 first reaches the outer protruding edge 11 of the next layer of cage 1, and the upper and lower layers of cage 1 can be stacked together to prevent the upper and lower layers of cage 1 from being staggered and causing unstable stacking.

[0030] The lifting device 5 is used to drive the clamping device 4 and the cage clamped by the clamping device 4 and the upper cage to lift upward, and it can adopt various structural forms, such as a lifting cylinder. In this embodiment, the lifting device 5 includes a frame 51 and a lifting mechanism 52, the frame 51 is arranged on the side of the lifting platform 3, and the lifting mechanism 52 connects the frame 51 and the telescopic frame 41 and controls the telescopic frame 41 to lift or lower.

[0031] like Figure 1As shown, the frame 51 of the lifting device 5 may include a top plate 511, two guide rails 512 and a base 513, the base 513 is fixed on the vehicle chassis 21, the two guide rails 512 are respectively erected on the base 513, and the top plate 511 is fixed to the top of the two guide rails 512. The lifting mechanism 52 may include a screw rod 521, a drive motor (not shown in the figure) and a lifting nut (not shown in the figure). The screw rod 521 is arranged between the two guide rails 512 and parallel to them, and the two ends pass through the base 513 and the top plate 511 respectively and are fixed thereto. The drive motor is arranged on the top plate 511 or the base 513 and drives the rotation of the screw rod 521. The lifting nut is sleeved on the screw rod 521 and is driven to rise and fall by the screw rod 521. The slideway 43 of the clamping device 4 is fixed to the lifting nut through the guide connector 522 and sleeved on the guide rail 512, and the lifting nut drives the clamping device 4 to vertically lift along the guide rail 512. When the telescopic frame 41 is lifted, the drive motor drives the screw rod 521 to lift the lifting nut, and the telescopic frame 41 connected to the lifting nut through the guide connector 522 is lifted accordingly. Figure 6 The process of lowering the telescopic frame 41 is the opposite of the above. At the same time, the guide connector 522 is also sleeved on the guide rail 512, so that the lifting and lowering of the telescopic frame 41 is more stable and will not deviate.

[0032] Furthermore, if Figure 7-8 As shown, the base 513 has a length equivalent to the height of the lifting platform 3 in the lowest state, and a movable hinge 6 is provided at the far end of the base 513 (the connection between the base 513 and the vertical part of the frame 51 is the near end), and the other end of the movable hinge 6 is connected to a slider 531, and the chassis 21 is provided with a slide rail 532 matching the slider 531; a movable hinge is also provided between the telescopic frame 41 and the frame 51, specifically, a movable hinge is provided between the slide rail 43 and the guide connector 522. The provision of these movable hinges enables the frame 51 and the telescopic frame 41 to work stably when in use, and the frame 51 can be flipped (90°) and laid down on the lifting platform 3 when not in use. Figure 9-10 As shown, when folding and storage is required, the slider 531 can move to the left on the slide rail 532 on the chassis 21. After the slider 531 reaches the left limit, the frame 51 is flipped to the right, so that the main body of the frame 51 (referring to the other parts except the base 513) is parallel to the telescopic frame 41. At this time, the base 513 of the frame 51 is in a vertical state, and the height is consistent with the lifting platform 3. The main body of the frame 51 can be placed flat on the lifting platform 3 to complete the folding and storage. The base 513 not only strengthens the fixing strength of the frame 51, but also its length is equivalent to the height of the lifting platform 3. Therefore, after flipping, the frame 51 can adapt to the height of the lifting platform 3 and be placed flat.

[0033] Furthermore, the action of the lifting mechanism 52 controlling the vertical lifting of the telescopic frame 41 and the action of the telescopic mechanism 42 controlling the horizontal telescopic movement of the telescopic frame 41 can be uniformly controlled by connecting the two mechanisms to a controller. The control steps are as follows: 1. Start the telescopic mechanism 42 to control the telescopic frame 41 to retract inward to the limit point, then clamp the outer protruding edge 11 of the upper layer of empty cages to clamp the cages 1 of this layer and above, and the telescopic frame 41 is in a clamped state at this time; 2. Start the lifting mechanism 52 to control the telescopic frame 41 to lift the clamped cage 1 vertically, and the telescopic frame 41 is in a clamped state during the lifting process to ensure that the cage will not fall; 3. When the live poultry is fully loaded with a layer of cages 1, start the lifting mechanism 52 to control the telescopic frame 41 to descend to the limit point with the clamped cage 1, that is, the fully loaded cage 1; 4. Start the telescopic mechanism 42 to control the telescopic frame 41 to extend outward to release the empty cage 1, and the telescopic frame 41 is in an open state at this time; 5. Start the lifting mechanism 52 to control the telescopic frame 41 to rise again (the open state is set to a non-clampable state at this time due to the rise) to the limit point of the upper layer, and then change from the original open state to a clamped state, and the telescopic frame 41 clamps the upper cage 1 and then lifts, and so on.

[0034] The present invention also discloses a live poultry transport method, which is characterized by comprising the following steps: Step 1: stack the empty cages 1 on the lifting platform 3 of the transfer vehicle; Step 2: Use the empty cage 1 at the bottom as the grabbing layer, and adjust the lifting platform 3 until the grabbing layer is at the same height as the breeding cage of the live poultry to be grabbed; Step 3: The lifting device 5 controls the telescopic frame 41 to rise to the upper cage 1 of the grabbing layer through the lifting mechanism 52; Step 4: The telescopic mechanism 42 of the clamping device 4 controls the telescopic frame 41 to retract inward to clamp below the protruding edge 11 of the layer of cage 1, completing the clamping action; Step 5: The lifting device 5 controls the telescopic frame 41 to lift the cage 1 held by it through the lifting mechanism 52, leaving a passage for placing the captured live poultry through the upper door 12 of the cage 1 at the grabbing layer, and captures the live poultry from the breeding cage to the cage 1 at the grabbing layer; Step 6: After the grabbing layer cage is fully loaded, the lifting device 5 controls the telescopic frame 41 to descend through the lifting mechanism 52 to stack the clamped cage 1 on the fully loaded cage 1; Step 7: The telescopic mechanism 42 of the clamping device 4 controls the telescopic frame 41 to open outwards, releases the previously clamped cage 1, and then repeats steps 2 to 6 until all cages 1 are filled with live poultry; Step 8: Move the transfer vehicle to the side of the transport vehicle, start the lifting platform 3, and raise the fully loaded cage 1 to the same height as the cargo box platform of the transport vehicle, so as to facilitate loading and unloading the cage 1 onto the transport vehicle.

[0035] The transfer vehicle of the present invention can stack the required empty cages 1 on the lifting platform in advance, the lifting platform 3 adjusts the basic height of the stacked cages, and uses the telescopic frame 41 and the telescopic mechanism 42 to clamp the empty cages 1. The lifting mechanism 52 lifts the clamped empty cages, and the cages can be filled with live poultry from the bottom layer to the top layer in sequence, without the need to carry the cages back and forth. The present invention integrates the steps of stacking cages, grabbing live poultry, loading and unloading fully loaded cages, and all operations can be completed by one person, reducing labor intensity and improving work efficiency. The transfer vehicle of the present invention is particularly suitable for transporting live poultry in cages with upper doors because it has a clamping device 4 and a lifting device 5.
