Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a cage, and more particularly to a novel detachable self-cleaning cage for poultry farming. Background Technology

[0002] There are many ways to raise poultry, including cage rearing, free-range rearing, and pen rearing. Different methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the equipment required also varies. Cage rearing allows for efficient use of space and facilitates management; the main equipment needed is the cage and the feeding trough. The bottom of the cage is often perforated to remove droppings and provide support for the poultry, thus facilitating cleaning. Currently, many cages with enhanced cleaning capabilities exist. These cages typically have cleaning mechanisms installed at the bottom, using mechanical structures or water flow to clean any missed droppings. However, the perforated bottom of these cages cannot be automatically cleaned, and over time, droppings and feathers can easily accumulate, increasing the risk of disease transmission. Furthermore, disassembling the cages is not convenient, making cleaning or replacing the sides and top inconvenient, highlighting the shortcomings of current technology. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel detachable self-cleaning cage for poultry farming to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A novel detachable self-cleaning poultry cage includes a frame, barrier components, brush components, a moving drive mechanism, and brush bristles. The frame has a geometric prism-shaped structure, and each side is equipped with detachable barrier components. The barrier components and the frame form a geometric prism-shaped three-dimensional cage structure, including side barrier components, top barrier components, and bottom barrier components. The bottom barrier component includes a support component and a rotating drive mechanism. The brush components and the moving drive mechanism are installed below the frame, and the rotating drive mechanism and multiple sets of support components are installed at the bottom. The support components include a left support component and a right support component. The left and right support members are rotatably connected to the frame in a front-to-back horizontal direction. The rotary drive mechanism is used to controllably drive the left and right support members to rotate and brake, thereby opening and closing relative to the bottom of the frame. When the left or right support member is open relative to the bottom of the frame, it hangs down. When the left and right support members are closed relative to the bottom of the frame, they are horizontally interlocked with gaps and have a hollow shape. The moving drive mechanism is used to drive the brush to move below the frame. When the brush moves, it can use its bristles to clean the hanging left or right support member.

[0006] Based on the above technical solution, the skeleton is a cuboid frame structure, the side barrier includes a mesh and a secondary connector, and multiple connectors are fixed to the front and rear parts of the skeleton. The left and right corresponding connectors constitute one pair. The secondary connectors of the front and rear parts of the skeleton are arranged equidistantly in a vertically corresponding manner. The mesh includes horizontal ribs and vertical ribs. Multiple horizontal ribs and multiple vertical ribs are fixed to each other in a crisscross pattern. The horizontal ribs are inserted into the connectors from top to bottom.

[0007] Based on the above technical solution, the side barrier also includes a receiving seat, a partition, a scraper, and a traction member. The left and right sides of the frame are each inserted with a receiving seat, and two adjacent frames can be inserted with the same receiving seat. The receiving seat is slidably connected to a partition. A set of scrapers is fixed to the front and rear sides of the receiving seat. Two scrapers in a set of scrapers are arranged on the left and right sides of the partition and are always in contact with the sides of the partition. During the sliding of the partition, the scrapers can scrape and clean the left and right sides of the partition. The front and rear parts of each partition are rigidly connected to a traction member.

[0008] Based on the above technical solution, the top barrier includes a cover plate, a limiting plate, connecting bolts, and a handwheel. The top of the receiving seat is threaded with detachable connecting bolts. A handwheel is coaxially fixed to the top of the connecting bolts. The upper part of the frame is inserted with the cover plate. The upper left and upper right parts of the frame are inserted with the limiting plates. The limiting plates are placed on the top of the cover plate and are respectively inserted through the connecting bolts. The handwheel can be pressed against the top of the limiting plate to prevent the cover plate from detaching from the frame. When the cover plate is inserted into the frame, its bottom end abuts against the top of the mesh.

[0009] Based on the above technical solution, the left support member includes a left main rod and a left auxiliary rod, and the right support member includes a right main rod and a right auxiliary rod. The left main rod and the right main rod are horizontally connected to the frame in a front-to-back manner. Multiple left auxiliary rods are fixed radially at equal intervals on the left main rod, and multiple right auxiliary rods are fixed radially at equal intervals on the right main rod. The left auxiliary rods fixed to the same left main rod are parallel to each other, and the right auxiliary rods fixed to the same right main rod are parallel to each other. The left auxiliary rods of the same left main rod and the right auxiliary rods of the same right main rod are staggered. The rotary drive mechanism is used to drive the left main rod and the right main rod to rotate and brake.

[0010] Based on the above technical solution, the rotary drive mechanism includes a left worm gear, a front support cylinder, a right worm gear, a rear support cylinder, a front servo motor, a front worm, a rear servo motor, and a rear worm. Each of the left main rods is coaxially fixed with a left worm gear. A front support cylinder is inserted vertically into the lower front part of the frame, and each front support cylinder is rotatably connected to each of the left main rods. Each left worm gear is located inside a front support cylinder. Each right main rod is coaxially fixed with a right worm gear. A rear support cylinder is inserted vertically into the lower rear part of the frame, and each rear support cylinder is rotatably connected to each of the right main rods. Next, each of the right worm gears is located inside the rear support cylinder. A front servo motor is fixed inside the front support cylinder, and a front worm is rotatably connected inside it. The output shaft of the front servo motor is rigidly connected to the front worm on the same axis. The front worm meshes with each of the left worm gears. A rear servo motor is fixed inside the rear support cylinder, and a rear worm is rotatably connected inside it. The output shaft of the rear servo motor is rigidly connected to the rear worm on the same axis. The rear worm meshes with each of the right worm gears. The front servo motor and the rear servo motor are electrically connected to an external electrical control system and power supply.

[0011] Based on the above technical solution, a collection trough is fixed to the bottom of the front support cylinder and the bottom of the rear support cylinder. The top of the collection trough is open and corresponds vertically to the bottom of the frame. The bottom of the inner wall of the collection trough is inclined forward and downward. A through-hole is provided at the front of the collection trough. A water spray pipe is fixed to the rear of the collection trough. The water spray pipe is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe and has a through-hole at the front. The through-hole is located above the rear of the collection trough. A water spray housing is fixed to the front and rear ends of the upper part of the receiving seat. Two water spray nozzles are passed through the bottom of the water spray housing. The two water spray nozzles at the bottom of the water spray housing are arranged on the left and right sides of the partition. A water inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the water spray housing. The connecting pipe and the water inlet pipe are respectively connected to the external water supply system through pipes.

[0012] Based on the above technical solution, the rear end of the inner wall of the collection tank is fixed with a guide rail in the left-right horizontal direction. The brush component includes a brush frame, support columns, and brush bristles. The brush frame is slidably connected to each guide rail in the left-right direction. The top of the brush component is fixed with multiple vertical and circular support columns. Brush bristles are densely fixed on the outer circumferential wall of each support column. The support columns are inserted into each left and right auxiliary rod with a gap in the left and right directions. The bottom end of the brush frame can fit against the bottom end of the inner wall of the collection tank. The moving drive mechanism is used to drive the brush frame to move left and right along the guide rail.

[0013] Based on the above technical solution, the mobile drive mechanism includes a support beam, a mounting base, a main servo motor, pulleys, a belt, a connecting seat, and a bidirectional lead screw. Support beams are provided at the front and rear ends of the bottom of the collection tank along the left and right horizontal directions. The support beams can be fastened to multiple collection tanks using fasteners. Mounting bases are provided on the left and right sides of the adjacent frame as a whole. The two mounting bases are fastened to the support beams using fasteners. A main servo motor is fixed to the top of each mounting base. Pulleys are coaxially fixed to the output shafts of the two main servo motors. A belt is connected to the two pulleys via friction transmission. The belt is an open loop, and connecting seats are fastened to both ends of the open loop. The external threads of the bidirectional lead screw have opposite directions on the left and right sides, and the left and right sides are threadedly connected to the two connecting seats respectively. The bidirectional lead screw is rotatably connected to the brush holder. When the bidirectional lead screw rotates forward and backward relative to the brush holder, it can drive the two connecting seats closer and further apart. The main servo motor is electrically connected to an external electrical control system and power supply.

[0014] Based on the above technical solution, the self-cleaning cage further includes a support mechanism for supporting the left and right support members. The support mechanism includes a left support arm, a right support arm, a front support frame, a rear support frame, a support base, and an electric push rod. A left support arm is radially fixed to the rear portion of each left main rod, and a right support arm is radially fixed to the front portion of each right main rod. A front support frame is slidably connected to the front support cylinder, and a rear support frame is slidably connected to the rear support cylinder. The left support arm is parallel to each left auxiliary rod, and the right support arm is parallel to each right auxiliary rod. Two adjacent left support arms are rigidly connected by detachable fasteners. The two adjacent right support arms are rigidly connected by detachable fasteners. Each of the two mounting bases is fixed with a support. The top of each support is fixed with an electric push rod along the left and right horizontal direction. The push rods of the two electric push rods are rigidly connected to the adjacent front support frame or rear support frame by detachable fasteners. The two electric push rods are electrically connected to an external electrical control system and power supply. When the two electric push rods are energized and extend, they can drive the front support frame and the rear support frame to slide left and right. When the front support frame and the rear support frame slide to a certain position, their tops can respectively engage and disengage the support of the left support arm and the right support arm.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: When the present invention is used, the left and right support members are rotated by a rotary drive mechanism, so that the two are closed relative to the bottom of the frame and remain horizontal, thus supporting the poultry in the cage. At this time, the left and right support members, which are interlocked, have a hollow structure, which facilitates the leakage of feces. When cleaning is required, the left and right support members are rotated alternately, so that the two hang down alternately. Then, the left or right support member that remains horizontal is used to temporarily support the poultry. Subsequently, the brush member is moved by a moving drive mechanism, and the brush bristles are used to clean the left or right support member to remove some of the feces and feathers on the surface, that is, self-cleaning.

[0016] The mesh and the auxiliary connector facilitate the disassembly, assembly, and cleaning of the mesh; the connecting bolts, cover plate, limit plate, frame, and handwheel facilitate the disassembly, assembly, and cleaning of the cover plate; by manually pulling the traction component back and forth, multiple partitions can be moved back and forth synchronously, thereby cleaning the partitions by using the cooperation between the scraper and the partitions.

[0017] By using an external water supply system to deliver water to the connecting pipe and the inlet pipe, water can be discharged from the drain and spray nozzles, thereby flushing and cleaning the feces, feathers, and other dirt in the collection tank and on both sides of the partition, thus improving the cleaning effect.

[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a novel detachable self-cleaning poultry cage includes a frame 1, barrier components, brush components, a moving drive mechanism, and brush bristles 5. The frame 1 has a geometric columnar frame structure, and each side is equipped with detachable barrier components. The barrier components and the frame 1 form a geometric columnar three-dimensional cage structure, including side barrier components, top barrier components, and bottom barrier components. The bottom barrier component includes a support component and a rotating drive mechanism. The brush components and the moving drive mechanism are installed below the frame 1, and the rotating drive mechanism and multiple sets of support components are installed at the bottom. The support components include a left support component 11 and a right support component 12. The left support component 11... The left and right support members 11 and 12 are rotatably connected to the frame 1 in a front-to-back horizontal direction. The rotary drive mechanism is used to controllably drive the left and right support members 11 and 12 to rotate and brake, so as to open and close relative to the bottom of the frame 1. When the left or right support member 11 is open relative to the bottom of the frame 1, it hangs down. When the left or right support member 11 and 12 are closed relative to the bottom of the frame 1, they are horizontally interlocked and have a hollow shape. The moving drive mechanism is used to drive the brush to move below the frame 1. When the brush moves, it can use its bristles 5 to clean the hanging left or right support member 11 or 12.

[0027] In use, the left support 11 and right support 12 are rotated by a rotary drive mechanism, so that they close relative to the bottom of the frame 1 and remain horizontal, thus supporting the poultry in the cage. At this time, the left support 11 and right support 12, which are interlocked, have a hollow structure, which facilitates the removal of feces. When cleaning is required, the left support 11 and right support 12 are rotated alternately, so that they hang down alternately. Then, the left support 11 or right support 12, which remains horizontal, is used to temporarily support the poultry. Then, the brush is moved by a moving drive mechanism, and the brush bristles 5 are used to clean the left support 11 or right support 12 to remove some of the feces and feathers adhering to the surface.

[0028] The frame 1 has a cuboid frame structure. The side barrier includes a mesh 13 and a secondary connector 14. Multiple connectors 14 are fixed to the front and rear parts of the frame 1. The left and right corresponding connectors 14 constitute one pair. The secondary connectors 14 of the front and rear parts of the frame 1 are arranged equidistantly in a vertically corresponding manner. The mesh 13 includes horizontal ribs 15 and vertical ribs 16. Multiple horizontal ribs 15 and multiple vertical ribs 16 are fixed to each other in a crisscross pattern. The horizontal ribs 15 are inserted into the connectors 14 from top to bottom. The horizontal ribs 15 and vertical ribs 16 are made of known materials, such as welded steel bars or integrally molded engineering plastics.

[0029] Furthermore, the mesh 13 and the auxiliary connector 14 facilitate the disassembly, assembly, and cleaning of the mesh 13.

[0030] The side barrier also includes a receiving seat 17, a partition 18, a scraper 19, and a traction member 20. The left and right sides of the frame 1 are each inserted with a receiving seat 17. Two adjacent frames 1 can be inserted with the same receiving seat 17. The receiving seat 17 is slidably connected to the partition 18. The receiving seat 17 is fixed with a pair of scrapers 19 at both the front and rear. Two scrapers 19 in a pair are arranged on the left and right sides of the partition 18 and are always in contact with the sides of the partition 18. During the sliding process of the partition 18, the scrapers 19 can scrape and clean the left and right sides of the partition 18. The front and rear parts of each partition 18 are rigidly connected with a traction member 20. The traction member 20 can be a rope or chain, etc.

[0031] Furthermore, by manually pulling the traction component 20 back and forth, multiple partitions 18 can be moved back and forth synchronously, thereby cleaning the partitions 18 by using the cooperation of the scraper 19 and the partitions 18. In addition, the partitions 18 can also isolate poultry in adjacent cages to prevent poultry from contacting and fighting.

[0032] The top barrier includes a cover plate 21, a limiting plate 22, a connecting bolt 23, and a handwheel 24. The top of the receiving seat 17 is threaded with a detachable connecting bolt 23. The top of the connecting bolt 23 is coaxially fixed with a handwheel 24. The upper part of the frame 1 is inserted with the cover plate 21. The upper left and upper right parts of the frame 1 are inserted with the limiting plate 22. The limiting plate 22 is placed on the top of the cover plate 21 and is inserted through the connecting bolt 23. The handwheel 24 can press against the top of the limiting plate 22 to prevent the cover plate 21 from detaching from the frame 1. When the cover plate 21 is inserted into the frame 1, its bottom end abuts against the top of the mesh 13.

[0033] Furthermore, after removing the connecting bolts 23, the limiting plate 22 can be removed, and then the cover plate 21 can be removed, making it easy to remove the mesh 13. When the handwheel 24 is pressed against the top of the cover plate 21, the limiting plate 22 can be pressed against, thereby indirectly restricting the upper and lower positions of the cover plate 21 and the mesh 13 to prevent them from detaching.

[0034] The left support member 11 includes a left main rod 25 and a left secondary rod 26, and the right support member 12 includes a right main rod 27 and a right secondary rod 28. The left main rod 25 and the right main rod 27 are horizontally connected to the frame 1 in a front-to-back manner. Multiple left secondary rods 26 are fixed radially at equal intervals on the left main rod 25, and multiple right secondary rods 28 are fixed radially at equal intervals on the right main rod 27. The left secondary rods 26 fixed to the same left main rod 25 are parallel to each other, and the right secondary rods 28 fixed to the same right main rod 27 are parallel to each other. The left secondary rods 26 of the same left main rod 25 and the right secondary rods 28 of the same right main rod 27 are staggered. The rotary drive mechanism is used to drive the left main rod 25 and the right main rod 27 to rotate and brake.

[0035] Furthermore, when the left main rod 25, left secondary rod 26, right main rod 27, and right secondary rod 28 are horizontal, they can support the poultry and form a hollow structure. When the left main rod 25 or the right main rod 27 rotates, the left secondary rod 26 or the right secondary rod 28 can be lowered, making it easier to clean the left secondary rod 26 and the right secondary rod 28 using the brush bristles 5.

[0036] The rotary drive mechanism includes a left worm gear 29, a front support cylinder 30, a right worm gear 31, a rear support cylinder 32, a front servo motor 33, a front worm 34, a rear servo motor 35, and a rear worm 36. Each left main rod 25 is coaxially fixed with a left worm gear 29. A front support cylinder 30 is inserted vertically into the lower front part of the frame 1, and each front support cylinder 30 is rotatably connected to each left main rod 25. Each left worm gear 29 is located inside a front support cylinder 30. Each right main rod 27 is coaxially fixed with a right worm gear 31. A rear support cylinder 32 is inserted vertically into the lower rear part of the frame 1, and each rear support cylinder 32 is rotatably connected to each right main rod 27. The right worm gear 31 is located inside the rear support cylinder 32. The front support cylinder 30 has a fixed front servo motor 33, and a front worm gear 34 is rotatably connected inside it. The output shaft of the front servo motor 33 is rigidly connected to the front worm gear 34 on the same axis. The front worm gear 34 meshes with each of the left worm gears 29. The rear support cylinder 32 has a fixed rear servo motor 35, and a rear worm gear 36 is rotatably connected inside it. The output shaft of the rear servo motor 35 is rigidly connected to the rear worm gear 36 on the same axis. The rear worm gear 36 meshes with each of the right worm gears 31. The front servo motor 33 and the rear servo motor 35 are electrically connected to the external electrical control system and power supply.

[0037] Furthermore, by controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the front servo motor 33, the front worm gear 34 can be driven to rotate forward and reverse, thereby driving each left main rod 25 to rotate forward and reverse through cooperation with the left worm wheel 29, so that the left auxiliary rod 26 is in a horizontal or downward posture; and by controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the rear servo motor 35, the rear worm gear 36 can be driven to rotate forward and reverse, thereby driving each right main rod 27 to rotate forward and reverse through cooperation with the right worm wheel 31, so that the right auxiliary rod 28 is in a horizontal or downward posture.

[0038] The bottom of the front support cylinder 30 and the bottom of the rear support cylinder 32 are both fixed with a collection trough 37. The top of the collection trough 37 is open and corresponds vertically to the bottom of the frame 1. The bottom of the inner wall of the collection trough 37 is inclined forward and downward. The front of the collection trough 37 is provided with a through drain port 38. The rear of the collection trough 37 is fixed with a water spray pipe 39. The water spray pipe 39 is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe 40 and has a drain port 41 through it at the front. The drain port 41 is located above and behind the collection trough 37. The upper front and rear ends of the receiving seat 17 are each fixed with a water spray housing 42. The bottom of the water spray housing 42 has two water spray nozzles 43. The two water spray nozzles 43 at the bottom of the water spray housing 42 are arranged on the left and right sides of the partition 18. The water spray housing 42 is fixedly connected to a water inlet pipe 44. The connecting pipe 40 and the water inlet pipe 44 are respectively connected to the external water supply system through pipes.

[0039] Furthermore, by setting up a collection tank 37 and a drain outlet 38, feces and feathers that leak out from the hollow structure composed of the left support member 11 and the right support member 12 can be collected and discharged through the drain outlet 38. Utilizing an external water supply system to supply water to the connecting pipe 40 and the inlet pipe 44 allows water to flow out from the drain outlet 41 and the spray nozzle 43, thereby flushing and cleaning feces, feathers, and other dirt in the collection tank 37 and on both sides of the partition 18, thus improving the cleaning effect.

[0040] The rear end of the inner wall of the collection tank 37 is fixed with a guide rail 45 along the left and right horizontal direction. The brush component includes a brush frame 46, a support column 47, and brush bristles 5. The brush frame 46 is slidably connected to each guide rail 45 in the left and right horizontal direction. The top of the brush component is fixed with a plurality of vertical and circular support columns 47. Brush bristles 5 are densely fixed on the outer circumferential wall of each support column 47. The support column 47 is inserted into each left auxiliary rod 26 and each right auxiliary rod 28 with a gap in the left and right direction. The bottom end of the brush frame 46 can fit against the bottom end of the inner wall of the collection tank 37. The moving drive mechanism is used to drive the brush frame 46 to move left and right along the guide rail 45.

[0041] Furthermore, the brush holder 46 is guided by the guide rail 45, thereby moving left and right under the drive of the moving drive mechanism. The brush bristles 5 are then used to clean the left auxiliary rod 26 and the right auxiliary rod 28. At the same time, the brush holder 46 can be used to scrape the bottom of the inner wall of the collection tank 37, thereby achieving a better cleaning effect.

[0042] The moving drive mechanism includes a support beam 48, a mounting base 49, a main servo motor 50, a pulley 51, a belt 52, a connecting seat 53, and a two-way lead screw 54. Support beams 48 are provided at the bottom front and rear ends of the collection trough 37 along the left and right horizontal directions. The support beams 48 can be fastened to multiple collection troughs 37 using fasteners. Mounting bases 49 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the adjacent frame 1 as a whole. The two mounting bases 49 are fastened to the support beams 48 using fasteners, which are known existing technologies such as bolts and nuts. The tops of the two mounting bases 49 are respectively fixed with the main servo motor. The main servo motor 50 has two pulleys 51 coaxially fixed to its output shafts. The two pulleys 51 are connected to a belt 52 by friction transmission. The belt 52 is an open loop, and each end of the belt is tightly fitted with a connecting seat 53. The external threads of the left and right parts of the bidirectional lead screw 54 are opposite in direction, and the left and right parts are threaded to the two connecting seats 53 respectively. The bidirectional lead screw 54 is rotatably connected to the brush holder 46. When the bidirectional lead screw 54 rotates forward and backward relative to the brush holder 46, it can drive the two connecting seats 53 to move closer and further apart. The main servo motor 50 is electrically connected to an external electrical control system and power supply.

[0043] Furthermore, by controlling the two main servo motors 50 to rotate in both directions, the brush holder 46 can be moved back and forth by the friction between the belt 52 and the pulley 51. By manually rotating the bidirectional lead screw 54 to rotate in both directions, the belt 52 can be moved closer and further apart by the cooperation between the bidirectional lead screw 54 and the connecting seat 53, thereby adjusting the tension to ensure transmission stability.

[0044] The self-cleaning cage also includes a support mechanism for supporting the left support member 11 and the right support member 12. The support mechanism includes a left support arm 55, a right support arm 56, a front support frame 57, a rear support frame 58, a support 59, and an electric push rod 60. The rear portion of each left main rod 25 is radially fixed with a left support arm 55, and the front portion of each right main rod 27 is radially fixed with a right support arm 56. The front support cylinder 30 is slidably connected to the front support frame 57, and the rear support cylinder 32 is slidably connected to the rear support frame 58. The left support arm 55 is parallel to each left auxiliary rod 26, and the right support arm 56 is parallel to each right auxiliary rod 28. Two adjacent left support arms 55 are rigidly connected by detachable fasteners. The two adjacent right support arms 56 are rigidly connected by detachable fasteners. The two mounting seats 49 are respectively fixed with supports 59. The tops of the two supports 59 are respectively fixed with electric push rods 60 in the left and right horizontal directions. The push rods of the two electric push rods 60 are rigidly connected to the adjacent front support frame 57 or rear support frame 58 by detachable fasteners. The two electric push rods 60 are electrically connected to the external electrical control system and power supply. When the two electric push rods 60 are energized and extend, they can drive the front support frame 57 and the rear support frame 58 to slide left and right. When the front support frame 57 and the rear support frame 58 slide to a certain position, their tops can respectively contact and release the contact support of the left support arm 55 and the right support arm 56.

[0045] Furthermore, when the left support member 11 and the right support member 12 are kept horizontal by using the rotary drive mechanism, the electric push rod 60 is extended and retracted accordingly, so that the front support frame 57 and the rear support frame 58 can achieve contact support for the left support arm 55 and the right support arm 56, thereby improving the support effect for the left support member 11 and the right support member 12, enhancing their horizontal stability, and indirectly improving the support effect for poultry. When it is necessary to lower the left support member 11 and the right support member 12, the front support frame 57 and the rear support frame 58 are moved in opposite directions, thereby releasing the contact between the left support arm 55 and the right support arm 56. Then, the rotary drive mechanism is controlled to lower the left support member 11 and the right support frame.

[0046] The above description represents a preferred embodiment of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, any changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations made to the implementation methods without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, based on the teachings of the present invention, still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
