[0015] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0016] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown in the figure, a multi-layer cage for convenient area capture is disclosed in a specific embodiment of the present invention, including a support frame and multiple breeding cages 100 installed on the support frame. The breeding cages are arranged in multiple vertical layers and multiple horizontal columns. A baffle 200 is provided at the rear end of the breeding cage 100, and the baffle 200 is locked to the rear end of the breeding cage 100 by a locking structure 300. A pushing device 400 is included, which is correspondingly arranged between two columns of breeding cages on the same layer. The pushing device 400 includes a guide structure 500 and two pushing mechanisms 600. The guide structure extends along the arrangement direction of the breeding cages, and the pushing mechanisms can move along the guide structure to the rear end of the corresponding breeding cage. The pushing mechanism 600 can be adjusted to connect and cooperate with the baffle 200, unlock the locking structure 300, and drive the baffle 200 to move towards the front end of the breeding cage 100. The above-mentioned multi-layer cage for convenient area capture provides multiple independent breeding spaces; the rear end of the breeding cage is equipped with a baffle, which is locked to the rear end of the breeding cage by a locking structure. The baffle has a movable basic condition and can be kept locked by the locking structure to effectively block the rear end of the breeding cage. It also includes a pushing device that can move the baffle, reduce the breeding space of the breeding cage, drive the poultry and livestock in the cage toward the exit, facilitate capture, and is convenient for practical use. It should be noted that this also includes a remote control, an electrical control box, and infrared sensors. The electrical control box controls the coordination of each electrical component, while the infrared sensors monitor the movement of moving parts. The remote control controls the capture of the corresponding breeding cages and performs corresponding start-stop operations. The above are all relatively common electrical components that can be purchased and used on the market. The electrical connection and coordination methods are also standard and will not be elaborated on in detail.

[0017] Furthermore, such as Figure 6As shown, the locking structure 300 includes a first locking tongue 310, a first spring 320, and a first support block 330. A first guide hole 331 is provided through the first support block 330, and a first limiting ring is fixedly provided on the inner wall of one end of the first guide hole 331. A first slider 311 is fixedly provided on one end of the first locking tongue 310. The first slider slides along the first guide hole, and the first locking tongue extends outward through the first limiting ring. The first spring 320 is provided in the first guide hole 331 to provide the first locking tongue 310 with an outward pushing force. Its structure is simple, and the first spring can be used as an elastic support component to make the first locking tongue have a retractable elastic force, thereby facilitating locking and unlocking actions. There are four locking structures 300, installed at the four corners of the rear end of the breeding cage 100; the moving direction of the first locking tongue is parallel to the extending direction of the guide structure, and the first locking tongues all extend towards the center of the breeding cage; Figures 3 to 5 As shown, a second support block 210 is fixedly provided on the rear wall of the baffle 200. The second support block 210 is provided with a first insertion hole 211 that is adapted to the first locking tongue 310. Multiple locking structures provide locking at multiple points, which can effectively lock the baffle, so that the baffle is firmly stuck at the end of the breeding cage and provides effective blocking.

[0018] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the second support block 210 has first recesses 212 on both sides, and a first insertion hole 211 is provided through the wall surface of the first recesses 212 away from the center. The first recesses 212 has a first pusher 220 inside, and a first push rod 221 is provided on the first pusher 220 corresponding to the first insertion hole. The end of the first push rod extends into the first insertion hole. The wall surface of the first recesses 212 with the first insertion hole has a first countersunk hole 213. A second spring 230 is installed at the first countersunk hole 213. The second spring 230 provides the first pusher 220 with a pushing force towards the center of the second support block, so that one side of the first pusher abuts against the other wall surface of the first recesses. Since the baffle has a certain length, the first pusher can be used as a component to push the first locking tongue, realizing the effect of intermediate transmission and facilitating the design of the subsequent pushing mechanism. A second insertion hole 214 is provided through the wall surface of the first recess 212 away from the first insertion hole; the pushing mechanism includes a second push rod that matches the second insertion hole, and the second push rod is adjustable and movable; the extended second push rod can be inserted into the second insertion hole and push the first pushing frame; the locking structure is unlocked, and the second push rod is connected and engaged with the baffle; under this structural limitation, the second push rod extends into the second insertion hole, so that the two can be connected and engaged, and the baffle can move accordingly; and the first push rod on the first pushing frame pushes out the locking tongue that has entered the first insertion hole, and the unlocking action is realized simultaneously, making the engagement action more coherent, and to a certain extent, the overall structural design is more compact; Furthermore, the first pusher frame includes a first support rod, one end of which is fixedly equipped with a first push plate, and the other end is equipped with a second push plate. Both ends of the first push plate are fixedly equipped with first push rods. The assembly structure allows for easy placement of the first support rod and part of the first push plate into the first recess, with the first push rod inserted into the first insertion hole. After the second spring is compressed, the second push plate is then installed onto the first support rod. When the force is released, the second spring applies force to the first pusher frame, causing the second push plate to abut against the other side wall of the first recess, thus maintaining the first pusher frame inside the first recess. Specifically, half of the first push rod is inserted into the first insertion hole at a semi-deep position, preparing for subsequent unlocking without affecting the locking structure's locking of the baffle. It should be noted that a cover plate is also provided at the opening of the first recess, which is fixed to the second support block with screws to seal the opening of the first recess and prevent the first pusher frame from detaching. Furthermore, the two ends of the second support block are chamfered, and the end of the first locking tongue is a spherical structure, which facilitates the smooth insertion of the first locking tongue into the first jack, and makes it easy for the first locking tongue to be reset and locked.

[0019] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, the pushing mechanism 600 includes a support plate 630, a first drive structure 610, a second drive structure 620, and a locking structure 640. The support plate 630 is slidably mounted on the guide structure 500 and is driven by the first drive structure 610 to slide along the guide structure. The second drive structure 620 is mounted on the support plate 630 and is used to drive the locking structure 640 to move along the depth direction of the breeding cage. The locking structure is connected and cooperates with the baffle and unlocks the locking structure. The first drive structure drives the entire pushing structure to move to the breeding cage position where poultry and livestock need to be captured. Then, the second drive structure drives the baffle to move, changing the internal space of the breeding cage and driving the poultry and livestock in the cage to move outward for easy capture. Furthermore, the guiding structure includes a slide rail and a rack, which are mounted on a support frame by screws and extend along the length of the support frame; the support plate is slidably mounted on the slide rail via a slide block; the first drive structure includes a first motor, which is mounted on the support plate by screws, and a gear is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the first motor, which meshes with the rack for transmission; there are four slide rails, arranged in groups of two, distributed on both sides of the rack; the support plates of the two jacking mechanisms are mounted on two slide rails on the same side via slide blocks; the rack is located in the middle of the two groups of slide rails, and teeth are provided on both sides of the top of the rack; the first drive structure of the two jacking mechanisms can both cooperate with the rack transmission to achieve structural sharing and make its overall structure more compact.

[0020] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 , Figure 8As shown, the second drive structure 620 includes a second motor 621 and a lead screw 622. The lead screw is mounted on the top surface of the support plate via a bearing seat. The lead screw 622 has two sections of threads with opposite patterns, which are fitted with two sliding sleeves 623. A first push block 650 is fixedly mounted on the sliding sleeve 623 by screws. The end of the first push block 650 is rotatably connected to a support rod 660 via a rotating shaft. The other end of the support rod 660 is rotatably connected to a locking structure 640. When the two sliding sleeves move, they can drive the locking structure to move along the depth direction of the breeding cage. The second motor drives the lead screw to rotate... The movement of the two sliding sleeves causes them to move synchronously towards or away from each other. When the two sliding sleeves move synchronously towards each other, the push rod and locking structure arch up and move towards the baffle. When the locking structure and the baffle are engaged, the baffle continues to move towards the other end of the cage, thereby reducing the internal space and driving the livestock outward. When the second motor rotates in the opposite direction, it will drive the locking structure and the baffle back, so that the baffle moves to the rear end of the cage. After the locking structure disengages from the rear baffle, it is locked by the locking structure, restoring the state of blocking the port.

[0021] Furthermore, a guide block is fixedly provided on the bottom surface of the first push block 650; a guide groove is provided on the support plate 630 corresponding to the guide block, and the first push block 650 slides along the guide groove via the guide block; this design further limits the movement of the first push block, thereby limiting the movement of the frame rod and the locking structure, so that the locking structure can move smoothly.

[0022] Furthermore, the locking structure 640 includes a housing 641 and a cover 642, the cover being fixedly mounted on the housing with screws; a third insertion hole 643 is provided on each of the opposite sides of the housing 641, the position of the third insertion hole 643 corresponding to the position of the second insertion hole 214 and having the same diameter; two electric push rods 644 are installed inside the housing 641, a second push bracket 645 is installed at the piston rod end of the electric push rod 644, the second push bracket 645 includes a second push rod 646, the position of the second push rod 646 corresponding to the third insertion hole 643 The positions are corresponding and the hole diameters are compatible; two centrally symmetrical protrusions 647 are fixedly provided on the box cover 642, and the protrusions 647 are rotatably connected to the frame rod 660 through a rotating shaft; the assembly structure is adopted, which facilitates the processing and production of each structural component and also makes it easy to disassemble and replace parts; when the extended second push rod is locked in the third and second insertion holes, it can realize the connection and cooperation between the box body and the baffle, so that the baffle can move with the box body; and it can push the first push frame to realize the unlocking action, completing two effects simultaneously.

[0023] Furthermore, the second support block 210 has a second recess 215 in the middle, and the second recess 215 is connected to the first recess 212 through a second insertion hole 214; the shape of the second recess 215 is adapted to the shape of the box body 641; protrusions 216 are fixed on both sides of the groove of the second recess 215, and the wall surface of the protrusions away from the baffle is an outwardly convex arc structure; the edge of the wall surface of the box body near the baffle is chamfered; this structural design can facilitate the smooth and accurate entry of the locking structure into the second recess, which is convenient for subsequent connection and unlocking actions.

[0024] Furthermore, a guide frame is fixedly installed in the middle of the wall surface away from the box body of the lid, and a sliding groove is provided in the middle of the guide frame; a limit block is installed on the top surface of the support plate, and the limit block corresponds to the position of the sliding groove; during the process from the initial state of the locking structure to the completion of docking between the locking structure and the baffle, the limit block is in a state of cooperation with the sliding groove, effectively limiting the movement of the locking structure, so that it can accurately enter the second sink and complete the docking; the subsequent movement of the locking structure relies on the cooperation between the baffle and the breeding cage, which can also make the locking structure move in a preset direction; and the end of the sliding groove away from the box cover has an outwardly flared opening structure, which facilitates the subsequent smooth locking on the outside of the limit block, so as to achieve smooth reset; Furthermore, guide strips can be provided on the inner wall of the breeding cage, and corresponding latches can be provided on the baffle. The movement of the baffle can be effectively limited by the sliding cooperation between the latches and the guide strips, thereby further realizing the above-mentioned actions and effects.

[0025] This invention also discloses a method for using multi-layer cages for convenient area capture, which includes the following steps when capturing poultry and livestock in a particular cage: S1, open the front screen of the corresponding breeding cage; S2, activate the first drive structure, and drive the entire push mechanism to move to the center of the locking structure and the center of the corresponding breeding cage; S3, activate the second drive structure, drive the locking structure to move a preset distance towards the baffle, so that the locking structure is engaged in the second sink groove; S4, activate the electric push rod, extend it to a preset length, so that the second push rod passes through the third socket, passes through the second socket, and pushes the first push frame to move the corresponding distance; during this process, the first push rod pushes the first locking tongue that has entered the first socket out of the first socket, thereby unlocking the locking structure; S5, activate the second drive structure, which drives the locking structure and baffle to continue moving forward, thus driving the poultry and livestock out of the breeding cage; S6, After capture is completed; the second drive structure is activated, which drives the locking structure and the baffle to move back to the preset position; during the movement, the electric push rod is activated, which drives the second push frame to move back a preset distance, leaving the end of the first insertion hole empty; after the baffle moves to the preset position, the first locking tongue part of the locking structure extends into the first insertion hole; S7, start the electric push rod, drive the second push bracket to move back to the preset position, the second push rod disengages from the second insertion hole, the first push bracket resets under the action of the second spring, the first push rod moves back a bit more, the first locking tongue inserts into the first insertion hole to a deeper position, and locks the baffle.
