[0002] First of all, breeding cages can provide a safe and comfortable living environment for chickens to avoid being attacked by natural enemies. Secondly, breeding cages can effectively control the range of chickens' activities, which is conducive to the growth of chickens and convenient for collecting eggs. In addition, breeding cages can also facilitate feeding and management. Finally, breeding cages help to increase the stocking density of chickens, save land resources, and improve feeding efficiency. Therefore, chickens usually need breeding cages for breeding.
[0003] In the prior art, laying hen cages are usually made of hard mesh materials. The cages can be set to be square, long or cylindrical, etc., as long as they can prevent the laying hens from escaping, and there is no need to be too restricted by the shape and structure. There is a cage door on the breeding cage. However, when laying hens are raised in the breeding cage, the laying hens will lay eggs in the breeding cage, and the cage door needs to be opened before the eggs can be taken out. This will cause the laying hens to be frightened during the egg-taking process, affecting the egg-laying amount of the laying hens. However, if the eggs are not taken out in time, the laying hens will trample on the eggs, causing them to break, and other laying hens will peck at the eggs, causing them to break.

Specifically, the bottom of the breeding cage 1 is composed of two symmetrically inclined plane mesh materials on the left and right, and the intersection line of the two plane mesh materials is located in the middle of the breeding cage 1. The left and right sides of the bottom of the side wall of the breeding cage 1 are provided with egg discharge openings 12, and the egg discharge openings 12 are located at the lowest point of the bottom of the breeding cage 1. The bottom of the egg discharge opening 12 is aligned and connected to the lowest point of the upper surface of the bottom of the breeding cage 1. The egg discharge opening 12 is obliquely connected with an egg storage trough 7. The egg storage trough 7 on the same side has the same inclination angle as the bottom of the breeding cage 1, and the inclination angle is 2°, so that eggs can pass through the egg discharge opening from the breeding cage 1. The opening 12 rolls into the egg storage tank 7, and then rolls into the outer end of the egg storage tank 7. A plurality of lifting mechanisms are arranged at intervals on the top wall of the egg storage tank 7. The lifting mechanism is connected with a baffle 21. The lifting mechanism can drive the baffle 21 to be inserted into the egg storage tank 7. The end of the egg storage tank 7 away from the egg discharge opening 12 is also fixed with a baffle 21. A pressure sensor 18 is fixedly arranged on the side of the baffle 21 close to the egg discharge opening 12. The pressure sensor 18 is fixedly connected with a pad 22.

The controller 17 controls the lifting mechanism closest to the egg side (the outermost side) to drive the baffle 21 to be inserted into the egg storage tank 7. At the same time, the baffle 21 drives the pad 22 to be inserted into the egg storage tank through the pressure sensor 18 thereon. When a new egg is placed in the egg storage trough 7 and pressed on the new soft pad 23, the controller 17 controls the next lifting mechanism (the second one at the outermost end) to drive the soft pad 23 thereon to be inserted into the egg storage trough 7, so that after each egg is rolled in, the controller 17 controls a lifting mechanism to drive the soft pad 23 thereon to be inserted into the egg storage trough 7, and the control sequence is from the outer end of the egg storage trough 7 to the breeding cage 1, so that each egg rolled into the egg storage trough 7 is separated, so that two eggs can be prevented from colliding and being damaged when the eggs are laid, so that the egg storage trough 7 can store more eggs and at the same time protect the discharged eggs to avoid their damage.
