Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chicken breeding technology, specifically to a protective fence for raising free-range chickens. Background Technology

[0002] There are many ways to raise chickens, and most outdoor and forest-based chicken farming involves building chicken fences. Existing chicken fences generally use small-mesh wire mesh for protection, preventing chickens from escaping and also protecting them from weasels, wild dogs, and other predators.

[0003] A search revealed that CN211430590U discloses a protective fence for raising free-range chickens, comprising a base plate, an upper fence, a middle fence, and a lower fence. A square stainless steel post is fixedly connected to the upper part of the base plate. Threaded holes are formed on the four sides of each stainless steel post, and handles are installed within these holes. Loops are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the upper, middle, and lower fences, respectively. Hollow tubes are inserted into the loops, and tension ropes are inserted inside the hollow tubes. The two ends of the tension ropes are tied to the handles. A connecting rope is fixedly connected to a connecting rod and tied to the handle. This protective fence uses three fences (upper, middle, and lower) and is secured to the stainless steel posts with tension ropes, making it easy to carry and install.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned protective fence still has the following problems: The above protection is achieved by fixing bells to the bottom of the netting under the fence. The design of the bells can scare away weasels or wild dogs when they approach and alert chicken farmers. However, since the bells are exposed to the outside, they are easily affected by the wind. When the wind is strong, the bells will shake, which will affect the chicken farmers' judgment of intruding animals. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model proposes a protective fence for raising free-range chickens, which solves the problem in the prior art where the bells are easily affected by wind, thus affecting the judgment of invasive animals.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A protective fence for raising free-range chickens includes two uprights, a fixed frame fixed between the two uprights, and a stainless steel mesh fixed inside the fixed frame. A crossbar is provided at the bottom of the fixed frame, and an elastic mesh is fixed at the bottom of the crossbar. The two ends of the elastic mesh are fixed to the uprights. Elastic guides for sliding the crossbar are provided on both sides of the bottom of the fixed frame. A through groove is provided in the middle of the upright, and a groove is provided at the bottom of the through groove. A bell is provided in the groove. A traction wheel assembly is provided in the through groove to pull the bell out of the groove when the crossbar moves down. An elastic stop is provided on one side of the groove to make the pulled-out traction wheel assembly sway.

[0007] Preferably, the elastic guide includes a guide rod, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the fixed frame, and a fixed plate is fixed to the top end of the guide rod. The fixed plate is fixed to the fixed frame, the guide rod passes through the crossbar and is slidably connected to the crossbar, and a spring is sleeved on the guide rod. The two ends of the spring abut against the crossbar and the fixed frame, respectively.

[0008] Preferably, the traction wheel assembly includes a pull rope, a first guide wheel is rotatably connected to the top of the through groove, an opening is provided on the guide rod, and a second guide wheel is rotatably connected inside the opening.

[0009] Preferably, one end of the pull rope is fixed to the bell, and the other end of the pull rope passes over the first guide wheel and the second guide wheel and is fixed to the crossbar.

[0010] Preferably, the groove includes an upper flared section and a lower cylindrical section, wherein the flared section gradually narrows towards the cylindrical section from top to bottom.

[0011] Preferably, the diameter of the grooved cylindrical section is greater than the maximum diameter of the bell.

[0012] Preferably, the elastic stop includes a rubber rod and a metal ball fixed to one end of the rubber rod, wherein the rubber rod is radially fixed to the flared section of the groove.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. The stainless steel mesh in the upper part of this utility model can prevent chickens from flying out and dangerous animals from jumping in, while the elastic mesh structure at the bottom can reduce the impact of dangerous animals hitting the ground on the protective fence.

[0015] 2. In the initial state, the elastic net is under tension due to the elastic force of the spring, and the bell is completely contained in the groove, thereby preventing it from being affected by wind factors exposed to the outside. This solves the problem in the prior art that the bell is easily affected by wind, which affects the judgment of invasive animals.

[0016] 3. When the elastic net is impacted, the impact force pulls the crossbar, which compresses the spring and slides downward along the guide rod. Guided by the first and second guide wheels, the pull rope pulls the bell out of the groove. During the popping process, the bell is blocked by the rubber rod and the metal ball, causing the bell to shake continuously as it pops out, which scares away the impacting animal and alerts the zookeeper to drive it away.

[0023] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a technical solution: a protective fence for raising free-range chickens, including two uprights 1, a fixed frame 2 fixed between the two uprights 1, and a stainless steel mesh 3 fixed inside the fixed frame 2. A crossbar 4 is provided at the bottom of the fixed frame 2, and an elastic mesh 5 is fixed at the bottom of the crossbar 4. The two ends of the elastic mesh 5 are fixed to the uprights 1. Elastic guides 6 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the fixed frame 2 to guide the crossbar 4 to slide. A through groove 11 is provided in the middle of the uprights 1, and a groove 12 is provided at the bottom of the through groove 11. A bell 7 is provided in the groove 12. A traction wheel set 8 is provided in the through groove 11 to pull the bell 7 out of the groove 12 when the crossbar 4 moves down. An elastic stop 9 is provided on one side of the groove 12 to make the pulled-out traction wheel set 8 swing.

[0025] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4The elastic guide 6 includes a guide rod 61, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 2, and a fixed plate 62 fixed to the top end of the guide rod 61. The fixed plate 62 is fixed to the fixed frame 2. The guide rod 61 passes through the crossbar 4 and is slidably connected to the crossbar 4. A spring 63 is sleeved on the guide rod 61. The two ends of the spring 63 abut against the crossbar 4 and the fixed frame 2, respectively. When the elastic net 5 is impacted, the impact force can pull the crossbar 4, and the crossbar 4 can compress the spring 63 and slide downward along the guide rod 61. The elasticity of the elastic net 5 itself can buffer the impact of dangerous animals on the ground and reduce the overall impact on the protective fence.

[0026] The traction wheel assembly 8 includes a pull rope 81, a first guide wheel 82 rotatably connected to the top of the through groove 11, an opening 611 on the guide rod 61, a second guide wheel 83 rotatably connected inside the opening 611, one end of the pull rope 81 being fixed to the bell 7, and the other end of the pull rope 81 passing around the first guide wheel 82 and the second guide wheel 83 and being fixed to the crossbar 4. When the elastic net 5 is impacted, the impact force can pull the crossbar 4, and the crossbar 4 compresses the spring 63 and slides down along the guide rod 61. Then, under the guidance of the first guide wheel 82 and the second guide wheel 83, the pull rope 81 pulls the bell 7 out of the groove 12.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, the groove 12 includes an upper flared section and a lower cylindrical section. The flared section gradually narrows towards the cylindrical section from top to bottom. The diameter of the cylindrical section of the groove 12 is larger than the maximum diameter of the bell 7, so that the bell 7 can be placed inside the cylindrical section to achieve the concealment and protection of the bell 7 and prevent the bell 7 from being exposed to the outside and easily affected by the wind.

[0028] The elastic stopper 9 includes a rubber rod 91 and a metal ball 92 fixed to one end of the rubber rod 91. The rubber rod 91 is radially fixed to the flared section of the groove 12. During the popping of the bell 7, the bell 7 is blocked by the rubber rod 91 and the metal ball 92, which causes the bell 7 to shake continuously when it pops out, thereby scaring away any animals that may be bumping into it, and at the same time reminding the keeper to drive them away.

[0029] It should be noted that the stainless steel mesh 3 and the elastic mesh 5 are staggered, and the lower part of the stainless steel mesh 3 overlaps with the upper part of the elastic mesh 5. The length of the overlapping part is sufficient to meet the downward pull distance of the crossbar 4 when the elastic mesh 5 is impacted, thereby preventing gaps from appearing between the stainless steel mesh 3 and the elastic mesh 5.

[0030] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: The stainless steel mesh 3 in the upper part of this utility model can prevent the chickens from flying out and the dangerous animals from jumping in, while the elastic mesh 5 at the bottom can reduce the impact of the ground collision of dangerous animals on the protective fence.

[0031] When the elastic net 5 is impacted, the impact force pulls the crossbar 4, which compresses the spring 63 and slides downward along the guide rod 61. Guided by the first guide wheel 82 and the second guide wheel 83, the pull rope 81 pulls the bell 7 out of the groove 12. During the popping process, the bell 7 is blocked by the rubber rod 91 and the metal ball 92, causing the bell 7 to shake continuously when it pops out, which scares away the impacting animal and alerts the keeper to drive it away.

[0032] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
