Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of chicken farming technology, specifically to an automated chicken farming workshop. Background Technology

[0002] Chickens, as a type of vertebrate, are mainly raised through two methods: automated farming and artificial farming. Automated chicken farms, as a common form of automated farming, are large-scale, enclosed farming facilities that rely on mechatronic equipment, intelligent control systems, and standardized farming processes to automate the entire and core processes of chicken farming. They replace traditional manual operations such as feeding, manure removal, and environmental control, and feature high farming efficiency, low labor costs, and controllable farming environment. They are the core carrier of modern large-scale poultry farming and are suitable for the industrialized production needs of different chicken breeds, such as broiler fattening and egg production.

[0003] In automated chicken farming workshops, feed is delivered to the feeding troughs by feed conveying equipment. During the feed conveying process, the feed outlet speed, trough slope, and feed flowability affect the uniformity of feed supply, making it difficult to achieve uniform feed supply. Feed piles easily form below the feed outlet. Automated chicken farming workshops have high stocking densities, and there are differences between dominant and weak individuals in the flock. If feed piles form inside the troughs due to uneven feed supply, dominant chickens will occupy the piled-up areas and compete for food, making it difficult for weaker chickens to approach. In the long run, this will result in large differences in weight, dispersed slaughter times, inconsistent peak egg production, and uneven egg weight. To address these issues, we propose an automated chicken farming workshop. Summary of the Invention

The feeding component and the feeding receiving component are located on both sides of the chicken raising cage 104. In addition, a leveling component for leveling feed is provided on the feeding component, and a transmission component for driving the leveling component is provided on the chicken raising frame 103. It should be noted that during the automated breeding operation in the breeding workshop, the water supply component, feeding component, and feed collection component work together to achieve automated feeding, water supply, and centralized collection of eggs during the chicken raising process. During the feeding process, the feeding leveling component levels the feed that has been pre-placed in the feeding trough 401. After leveling, the feed in the feeding trough 401 is evenly distributed, and the chickens raised in the chicken cage 104 have equal feeding space and feed amount, which fundamentally reduces the differences in group growth and improves the overall quality of the breeding batch.

[0019] Preferably, the feeding component includes a feeding trough 401 disposed on one side of the chicken cage 104, and multiple sets of first support frames 402 for assisting in the installation and fixation of the feeding trough 401 are fixed between the feeding trough 401 and the chicken frame 103. A baffle 403 for blocking the feed is disposed between the feeding trough 401 and the chicken cage 104, and the baffle 403 is fixed on the chicken frame 103. It should be noted here that: the chickens to be raised are put into the chicken cage 104 in advance. After being put into the cage, the feed required for raising is put into the feed trough 401 in advance through the external feed conveying equipment. After being put into the feed trough 104, the chickens raised in the chicken cage 104 can eat on their own. In addition, the feed conveying equipment is a conventional technical component in this application, and its working principle and operation method will not be described in detail here.

[0020] Preferably, the flat material assembly includes a strip plate 501 slidably connected to the feeding trough 401. A plurality of push plates 502 for pushing feed inside the feeding trough 401 are provided on one side of the strip plate 501. The push plates 502 are located inside the feeding trough 401. A vertical slide rail 503 is provided on one side of the push plate 502. A slide plate 504 is slidably connected to the vertical slide rail 503. One end of the slide plate 504 is fixed to the strip plate 501. It should be noted here that: through transmission, each set of push plates 502 is subjected to force to perform lateral reciprocating motion inside the feeding trough 401. Through the lateral reciprocating motion of the push plates 502, the feed that has been pre-added inside the feeding trough 401 is leveled.

[0021] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes multiple sets of transmission inclined grooves 601 formed on the strip plate 501, each set of transmission inclined grooves 601 being respectively arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with each set of strip plates 501. A connecting plate 602 is provided on one side of the transmission inclined groove 601. The chicken raising frame 103 is provided with a lifting assembly for raising and lowering the connecting plate 602 and a guide assembly for guiding during the raising and lowering process. The connecting plate 602 and the push plate 502 are respectively located on both sides of the strip plate 501. A transmission pin 603 is slidably connected to the transmission inclined groove 601. One end of the transmission pin 603 is fixed to the connecting plate 602. A connecting assembly for auxiliary connection is provided between the connecting plate 602 and the push plate 502. It should be noted that: through the cooperation of the lifting assembly and the guide assembly, the connected plate 602 under force moves upward. During the movement of the strip plate 501, the transmission pin 603 is driven to move. During the movement of the transmission pin 603, through the interaction between the transmission pin 603 and the transmission inclined groove 601, the strip plate 501 under force moves laterally on the feeding groove 401. During the movement of the strip plate 501, through the connection between the vertical slide rail 503 and the sliding plate 504, the push plate 502 is driven to move laterally inside the feeding groove 401 under force. Through the lateral movement of the push plate 502, the lifting and lowering movement of the upper connected plate 602 is repeated. Through transmission, each set of push plates 502 is driven to move laterally reciprocatingly inside the feeding groove 401 under force.

[0022] Preferably, the connecting component includes a transverse slide rail 701 disposed above the push plate 502, a connecting block 702 slidably connected to the bottom of the transverse slide rail 701, one end of the connecting block 702 being fixed to the push plate 502, and a connecting rod 703 for assisting the connecting transmission is provided between the transverse slide rail 701 and the connecting plate 602. It should be noted that during the reciprocating feeding process of the push plate 502, the connecting plate 602 moves up and down, and the connecting rod 703, the transverse slide rail 701 and the connecting block 702 connect, causing the push plate 502 to move up and down in the vertical direction while pushing the material horizontally. When it encounters a feed protrusion, it can be lifted up and flipped over, and then fall to the bottom of the feed trough to continue leveling the material. This can spread out the scattered piles of material one by one, making the feed thickness in each area of ​​the feed trough 401 truly uniform, and completely avoiding the problem of piling up more and more as the material is pushed.

[0023] Preferably, the guiding assembly includes a first fixing plate 801 fixed to the chicken raising frame 103, a slide rod 802 fixed on the first fixing plate 801, a sleeve 803 slidably connected to the slide rod 802, and one end of the sleeve 803 fixed to the upper end of the connecting plate 602; the lifting assembly includes a second fixing plate 901 fixed to the chicken raising frame 103, a threaded rod 902 rotatably connected to the second fixing plate 901, a threaded sleeve 903 threadedly engaged with the threaded rod 902, one end of the threaded sleeve 903 fixed to the upper end of the connecting plate 602, and a drive motor 904 for driving the threaded rod 902 is installed on the second fixing plate 901; It should be noted that during the automated feeding process, the drive motor 904 is started, which drives the threaded rod 902 to rotate. During the rotation of the threaded rod 902, the connecting plate 602 is subjected to force and moves through the meshing transmission between the threaded rod 902 and the threaded sleeve 903. During the movement of the connecting plate 602, the connecting plate 602 moves up and down due to the sliding guidance of the sleeve 803 and the slide rod 802.

[0024] Preferably, the water supply component includes a pair of water supply pipes 201 installed on the chicken cage 104. The chicken cage 104 is provided with multiple sets of water storage basins 202. The water storage basins 202 are installed on the outside of the water supply pipes 201 by snap-fit. A connecting pipe 203 for supplying water to the inside of the water storage basins 202 is installed on the water supply pipes 201. A control valve for water outlet control is installed on the connecting pipe 203. It should be noted that during the breeding process, water is supplied through the water supply pipe 201. During the water supply process, the control valve of the corresponding connecting pipe 203 is opened. After the control valve is opened, the water transported inside the water supply pipe 201 falls into the water storage basin 202 through the connecting pipe 203 and is stored. The transported and stored water assists in the water supply operation during the breeding process. In addition, the working principle of the water supply pipe 201 and the control valve is known technology in this application and will not be described in detail here.

[0025] Preferably, the receiving component includes a receiving trough 301 disposed on one side of the chicken cage 104, the bottom of the chicken cage 104 is inclined toward the receiving trough 301, and multiple sets of second support frames 302 for auxiliary support installation are disposed between the receiving trough 301 and the chicken frame 103. It should be noted that during the breeding process, because the bottom of the chicken cage 104 is tilted towards the feed trough 301, the eggs fall to the bottom of the chicken cage 104 and flow towards the feed trough 301, where they accumulate and are collected inside. This achieves automated feeding, watering, and centralized collection of eggs during the chicken breeding process.

[0026] This solution describes an automated chicken farming workshop, which includes the following steps: In the process of automated breeding operations using a breeding workshop, chickens to be raised are pre-placed inside chicken cages 104. After placement, feed required for breeding is pre-placed into the feed trough 401 through external feed conveying equipment. After placement, the chickens raised inside the chicken cages 104 can eat on their own. During the breeding process, water is supplied through water supply pipes 201. During the water supply process, the control valve of the corresponding connecting pipe 203 is opened. After the control valve is opened, the water transported inside the water supply pipe 201 falls into the water storage basin 202 through the connecting pipe 203 and is stored. The transported and stored water assists in the water supply operation during the breeding process. In addition, during the breeding process, because the bottom of the chicken cages 104 is tilted towards the receiving trough 301, the eggs produced fall to the bottom of the chicken cages 104 and flow towards the receiving trough 301, accumulating and collecting inside the receiving trough 301. This realizes automated feeding, water supply and centralized collection of eggs during the chicken breeding process. In addition, during the automated feeding process, the drive motor 904 is started, which drives the threaded rod 902 to rotate. During the rotation of the threaded rod 902, the meshing transmission between the threaded rod 902 and the threaded sleeve 903 causes the connecting plate 602 to move under force. During this movement, the sliding guide action of the sleeve 803 and the sliding rod 802 causes the stressed connecting plate 602 to move upwards. During the movement of the strip plate 501, the transmission pin 603 is driven to move. During the movement of the transmission pin 603, the interaction between the transmission pin 603 and the transmission chute 601 causes the stressed strip plate 501 to move onto the feeding trough 401. The strip plate 501 moves laterally. During the movement of the strip plate 501, the vertical slide rail 503 and the sliding plate 504 are connected, which drives the push plate 502 to move laterally inside the feeding trough 401. Through the lateral movement of the push plate 502, the lifting and lowering movement of the upper connecting plate 602 is repeated. Through transmission, each set of push plates 502 is forced to move laterally back and forth inside the feeding trough 401. Through the lateral back and forth movement of the push plate 502, the feed that has been pre-placed in the feeding trough 401 is leveled. After leveling, the feed in the feeding trough 401 is evenly distributed. The chickens raised in the chicken cage 104 have equal feeding space and feed amount, which fundamentally reduces the difference in group growth and improves the overall quality of the breeding batch. In addition, during the reciprocating pushing of material by the pusher plate 502, the lifting and lowering movement of the connecting plate 602 and the connecting action of the connecting rod 703, the transverse slide rail 701 and the connecting block 702 drive the pusher plate 502 to move up and down in the vertical direction while pushing material horizontally. When encountering feed protrusions, it can be lifted up and flipped over, and then fall to the bottom of the feed trough to continue leveling the material. This can spread out the scattered piles of material one by one, making the feed thickness in each area of ​​the feed trough 401 truly uniform, and completely avoiding the problem of piling up more and more as it is pushed.
