Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a broiler chicken feeding device, and more particularly to a mobile feeding device for caged broiler chickens. Background Technology

[0002] Broiler chickens generally refer to domestic chicken breeds raised specifically for consumption. Their meat is tender, nutritious, and a common source of high-quality protein on the dining table. Broiler chickens grow quickly and have a high feed conversion rate; through scientific breeding and large-scale farming, they can reach market weight in a relatively short time. Common broiler breeds include white-feathered and yellow-feathered broilers, and they are suitable for various cooking methods such as frying, stir-frying, stewing, and roasting. They are widely used in home cooking, the fast food industry, and processed foods (such as chicken breast, chicken wings, and chicken legs).

[0003] Currently, broiler chickens are typically raised in cages. In this method, feed is placed into fixed troughs at fixed times and locations, allowing the chickens to eat without moving. However, this results in limited activity levels for the chickens. Prolonged static feeding inhibits their natural walking and exploration behaviors, exacerbating problems such as poor bone development, leg diseases, and fat deposition caused by insufficient exercise, which seriously affects their health and meat quality. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a motion feeding device for caged broiler chickens.

[0005] A mobile feeding device for caged broilers includes a ring-shaped feeding cage, support legs, cage doors, a feeding mechanism, and a feeding mechanism. The ring-shaped feeding cage has support legs connected to both sides of its bottom. The ring-shaped feeding cage has two cage doors. The ring-shaped feeding cage is equipped with a feeding mechanism for feeding broilers, and the feeding mechanism is equipped with a feeding mechanism.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the feeding mechanism includes an annular guide rail, a connecting frame, a feeding frame, and electric rollers. An annular guide rail is installed at the top of the annular feeding cage, and a connecting frame is slidably connected inside the annular guide rail. Electric rollers are installed on both sides of the upper part of the connecting frame, and the electric rollers are in contact with the inside of the annular guide rail. A feeding frame is connected to the bottom of the connecting frame.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the feeding mechanism includes a feeding frame, a feeding pipe, a sliding frame, and a driving component. The upper parts of both sides of the connecting frame are connected to the feeding frame, and the sides of the feeding frame are slidably connected to the sliding frame. The bottom of both feeding frames is connected to the feeding pipe, the end of the feeding pipe is fixed to the sliding frame, and the end of the feeding pipe is aligned with the feeding frame. A driving component is provided between the connecting frame and the feeding frame, and the driving component can drive the sliding frame to move.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the driving assembly includes a drive motor, a lifting screw, a slider, and a connecting rod. The drive motor is installed at the bottom of the connecting frame, and the lifting screw is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor. The lifting screw is rotatably connected to the connecting frame, and the slider is slidably connected to the connecting frame. The slider is threadedly engaged with the lifting screw, and the slider is hinged to the top of the sliding frame on both sides.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a material extraction mechanism is further included. The material extraction mechanism includes a recycling box, a recycling pipe, a material extraction pump, a swing scraper, and a mounting plate. The recycling box is connected between the two feeding frames. The material extraction pump is installed inside the recycling box. The material extraction end of the material extraction pump is connected to the recycling pipe. The recycling pipe is mounted on a connecting frame. The end of the recycling pipe extends into the middle of the feeding frame. Mounting plates are connected to the sides of the two sliding frames that are close to each other. Swing scrapers are hinged to the mounting plates.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a feeding mechanism is further included. The feeding mechanism includes a storage frame, a push block, a feeding pipe, a plug, a lifting frame, and an elastic element. The top of the annular feeding cage is connected to the storage frame. The bottom two sides of the storage frame are connected to the feeding pipe. The bottom of the storage frame is slidably connected to the lifting frame. An elastic element is connected between the lifting frame and the storage frame. The upper two sides of the lifting frame are connected to the plug, which is inserted into the feeding pipe. The push block is connected to the connecting frame. The lower part of the lifting frame is located at the movement trajectory of the push block.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a collection frame is also included, with the collection frame connected between the two legs.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a cleaning brush rod is also included, and the bottom of the feeding frame is connected to the cleaning brush rod.

[0013] The beneficial effects are as follows: 1.

[0025] First, it should be noted that in different described embodiments, the same components are given the same reference numerals or the same component names. The disclosure contained throughout this specification can be applied semantically to the same components having the same reference numerals or the same component names. The location descriptions selected in the specification, such as upper, lower, lateral, etc., also refer to the directly described and illustrated figures and are semantically applied to the new location when the location changes.

[0026] A type of exercise feeding device for caged broiler chickens, such as Figures 1-5As shown, it includes a ring-shaped feeding cage 1, support legs 2, cage doors 3, a feeding mechanism and a feeding mechanism. The ring-shaped feeding cage 1 is connected to support legs 2 on both the front and rear sides of its bottom. The ring-shaped feeding cage 1 has two cage doors 3 on its front side. The ring-shaped feeding cage 1 is equipped with a feeding mechanism for feeding broilers, and the feeding mechanism is equipped with a feeding mechanism.

[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the feeding mechanism includes a ring guide rail 41, a connecting frame 42, a feeding frame 43, and electric rollers 44. The ring guide rail 41 is installed at the top of the ring-shaped feeding cage 1. The connecting frame 42 is slidably connected inside the ring guide rail 41. Electric rollers 44 are installed on both the left and right sides of the upper part of the connecting frame 42. The electric rollers 44 are in contact with the inside of the ring guide rail 41, and the electric rollers 44 can move along the ring guide rail 41 when rotating. The feeding frame 43 is connected to the bottom of the connecting frame 42. Feed is added into the feeding frame 43, and the broilers can eat the feed in the feeding frame 43, so as to achieve the effect of feeding the broilers.

[0028] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the feeding mechanism includes a feeding frame 51, a feeding pipe 52, a sliding frame 53, and a driving assembly. The feeding frames 51 are connected to the upper parts of the front and rear sides of the connecting frame 42. The sliding frames 53 are slidably connected to the left and right sides of the feeding frame 43. The bottom of both feeding frames 51 is connected to the feeding pipe 52. The end of the feeding pipe 52 is fixed to the sliding frame 53. The end of the feeding pipe 52 is aligned with the feeding frame 43 so that the feed in the feeding frame 43 will be fed into the feeding frame 43 through the feeding pipe 52. A driving assembly is provided between the connecting frame 42 and the feeding frame 43. The driving assembly can drive the sliding frame 53 to move.

[0029] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the drive assembly includes a drive motor 54, a lifting screw 55, a slider 56, and a connecting rod 57. The drive motor 54 is installed at the bottom of the connecting frame 42. The lifting screw 55 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 54. The lifting screw 55 is rotatably connected to the connecting frame 42. The slider 56 is slidably connected to the connecting frame 42. The slider 56 can slide up and down along the connecting frame 42. The slider 56 is threadedly engaged with the lifting screw 55 so that the rotation of the lifting screw 55 can drive the slider 56 to move up and down through the thread. The left and right sides of the slider 56 are hinged to the top of the sliding frames 53 on both sides, so that the up and down movement of the slider 56 can drive the two sliding frames 53 to move closer or further apart through the connecting rod 57.

[0030] This device can be used when feeding broilers. In use, the cage door 3 can be opened, and then the broilers can be placed into the circular rearing cage 1. After placement, the cage door 3 can be closed. Feed can then be added to the feeding frame 51, which will be injected into the feeding frame 43 through the feeding pipe 52. At this time, the drive motor 54 can be controlled to rotate the lifting screw 55. When controlling the drive motor 54, the controller and program can be used to automatically control the drive motor 54 to start at set times to achieve timed feeding. The rotation of the lifting screw 55 drives the slider 56 upward through the thread. The upward movement of the slider 56 can cause the two sliding frames 53 to move closer together through the connecting rod 57. The two sliding frames 53 moving closer together can cause the two feeding pipes 52 to move closer together. When the feed pipes 52 are brought close together, feed can be delivered to other positions within the feeding frame 43 until the feeding frame 43 is full. At this point, the two feed pipes 52 also move close together to the middle of the feeding frame 43. The feed in the feeding frame 43 will block the feed at the feed pipes 52, preventing the feed from falling out. Then, the broilers can eat the feed in the feeding frame 43. While eating, the electric roller 44 can be rotated. When the electric roller 44 rotates, it can move along the circular guide rail 41. When the electric roller 44 moves, it can drive the connecting frame 42 and the feeding frame 43 to move, so that the broilers will move around in the circular rearing cage 1 with the feeding frame 43 while eating chicken feed. This increases the amount of exercise in the broiler breeding process and improves the health of the broilers and the quality of the chicken meat.

[0031] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, it also includes a material extraction mechanism, which includes a recovery box 61, a recovery pipe 62, a material extraction pump 63, a swing scraper 64, and a mounting plate 65. The recovery box 61 is connected between the right sides of the two feeding frames 51. The material extraction pump 63 is installed in the recovery box 61. The extraction end of the material extraction pump 63 is connected to the recovery pipe 62. The recovery pipe 62 is installed on the connecting frame 42. The end of the recovery pipe 62 extends into the middle of the feeding frame 43. The two sliding frames 53 are connected to the mounting plate 65 on their sides that are close to each other. The swing scraper 64 is hinged to the mounting plate 65. When the two sliding frames 53 are close to each other, the swing scraper 64 can be driven by the mounting plate 65 to scrape the material on both sides of the feeding frame 43 towards the middle.

[0032] When the two sliding frames 53 approach each other, the mounting plate 65 can drive the two swing scrapers 64 to approach each other. At this time, the two swing scrapers 64 can scrape the remaining feed at the bottom of the feeding frame 43 towards the middle. Then, the pump 63 can be controlled to operate to extract the remaining feed between the two swing scrapers 64 through the recovery pipe 62 and pump the feed into the recovery box 61, thereby playing the role of recovering the remaining feed. When the two sliding frames 53 move away from each other, when the swing scraper 64 comes into contact with the feed in the feeding frame 43, the swing scraper 64 will be squeezed and swung by the feed inside the feeding frame 43, causing the swing scraper 64 to fold. This prevents the swing scraper 64 from moving outward with the feed. In this way, the remaining feed in the feeding frame 43 can be processed.

[0033] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, it also includes a feeding mechanism, which includes a storage frame 71, a push block 72, a feeding pipe 73, a plug 74, a lifting frame 75, and an elastic element 76. The storage frame 71 is connected to the top right side of the annular feeding cage 1. The feeding pipe 73 is connected to the bottom left and right sides of the storage frame 71. The lifting frame 75 is slidably connected to the bottom of the storage frame 71. The lifting frame 75 can slide up and down along the storage frame 71. An elastic element 76, which is a return spring, is connected between the lifting frame 75 and the storage frame 71. The plug 74 is connected to the upper left and right sides of the lifting frame 75. The plug 74 is inserted into the feeding pipe 73. The push block 72 is connected to the front side of the connecting frame 42. The lower part of the lifting frame 75 is located at the moving trajectory of the push block 72, so that the movement of the push block 72 can contact the lifting frame 75 and squeeze the lifting frame 75 to move.

[0034] Initially, feed can be stored in the storage box 71. When the connecting frame 42 moves, it will drive the push block 72 to move as well. The push block 72 can contact the lifting frame 75 when it moves. Then, the push block 72 continues to move and squeezes the lifting frame 75 to move upward. The elastic element 76 is compressed. The upward movement of the lifting frame 75 will drive the stop block 74 to move upward. After the stop block 74 moves upward, it will no longer block the feeding pipe 73. At this time, the feeding box 51 is also aligned with the feeding pipe 73. The feed in the storage box 71 will be added into the feeding box 51 through the feeding pipe 73. When the push block 72 moves to the point of disengagement from the lifting frame 75, the lifting frame 75 will reset under the action of the elastic element 76. The reset of the lifting frame 75 will drive the stop block 74 to reset, so that the stop block 74 will block the feeding pipe 73 again. In this way, the feed in the feeding box 51 can be automatically replenished, making the operation more convenient.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a collection frame 8, which is connected between the two legs 2. The collection frame 8 is used to collect the broiler's feces.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a cleaning brush 9. The bottom of the feeding frame 43 is connected to the cleaning brush 9. When the feeding frame 43 moves, it can move the cleaning brush 9 together. When the cleaning brush 9 moves, it can clean the feces at the bottom of the annular feeding cage 1 and scrape the feces into the collection frame 8 to prevent feces from remaining in the annular feeding cage 1.
