Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an automated breeding cage, in particular to a large-scale breeding cage which is convenient for entry and exit. Background Art

[0002] Up to now, large-scale farms basically use multi-layer cages for breeding. The main breeding method is that when the chicks are born, the chickens (ducks) are pushed to each row of chicken cages with a cart and the chicks are thrown into each cage on each layer. When the finished chickens (ducks) are ready, the cart is loaded with transport cages and pushed into the chicken (duck) house. The chickens (ducks) are caught from each chicken cage one by one, and then stuffed into the transport cages, which are then pushed outside the chicken (duck) house for loading.

[0003] The above methods consume a lot of manpower costs. This work is dirty and tiring, the environment is bad, and it is easy to cause broken wings and claws and blood bruises to the finished chickens (ducks), which is not in line with animal welfare. Each farm will also pay a lot of chicken catching costs for this. Therefore, the problem of entering chicks and marketing has always troubled the majority of farmers. There are many patents in this regard, but basically none of them are practical. Utility Model Content

[0023] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a large-scale breeding cage that is easy to enter and exit, the cage body 1 is arranged in one or more layers up and down, the cage body 1 is separated by a plurality of push-pull plug plates 2 arranged vertically at intervals, and the push-pull plug plates 2 are arranged along the running direction of the cage bottom, one end or both ends of the cage body 1 are provided with an openable blocking plate, each push-pull plug plate 2 is pushed and pulled out manually or electrically, such as driven by an electric telescopic rod.

[0024] The cage also includes a cage bottom that is suspended from the side walls of the cage body 1 (suspended 50-100 mm apart), so that the chickens can stick their heads out through the gap at the bottom to eat. Figure 7 ), the side walls of the cage body 1 are fixedly connected to a plurality of supporting legs 11, the chain guide rails 7 are fixed on the supporting legs 11 on both sides, the upper and lower parts of the closed and rotating chain 3 are respectively located in the chain guide rails 7, and the cage bottom is moved by the movement of the chain 3, and the cage body 1 can be raised and lowered, and lifting rods are installed at intervals on both sides of the cage body, and the lifting rods are connected to the sides of the cage body, that is, a commonly used lifting structure at present, and the cage body 1 can be driven to rise and fall by simultaneously controlling the extension and retraction of each lifting rod.

[0025] A rotatable main water line 8 is arranged inside the cage body 1 along the running direction of the cage bottom. The main water line 8 is connected to a water feeding tray 10 through a plurality of rotatable water distribution pipes 9. The main water line 8 is connected to an external water supply device through a rotating joint, so that the water distribution pipe 9 can also rotate to facilitate the transportation of poultry.

[0026] Special screws are installed on the chain plates on both sides of the chain. When installing the cage bottom plate, you only need to insert the two ends of the cage bottom plate into the special screws. The connection is convenient, simple and reliable.

[0027] The cage bottom includes a chain 3 closed at the front and rear and a plurality of long cage bottom plates 4 fixed between the upper parts of the chains 3. The two ends of each chain 3 are respectively mounted on sprockets 5 arranged at the front and rear of each end. The sprockets 5 at each end are fixedly connected by the same rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft at one end is driven by a reducer to rotate forward and reverse.

[0028] The two ends of the lower part of each chain 3 are supported by tensioning sprockets 6 respectively, and the bottom of each chain 3 is supported on the corresponding chain guide rail 7. The side of the cage body 1 is supported by multiple vertical supporting legs 11, and a fixing seat 12 is provided at the bottom of each supporting leg 11.

[0029] At one end of the driven sprocket 5 of each layer of the cage body 1, a brush 13 and a water spray head 14 are respectively installed on the upper and lower parts of the cage bottom plate 4. The brush 13 motor and the water spray head 14 solenoid valve are connected to the control cabinet to automatically control the rotation of the brush 13 and the water spray head 14 to spray water, so as to clean the feces on the cage bottom plate 4. A vibration roller 15 is installed under the cage bottom plate 4. The vibration roller 15 motor is connected to the control cabinet to automatically control the rotation speed and strength to clean the feces on the cage bottom plate 4. The brush, the water spray head and the control cabinet are prior art and their structures are not repeated here. A vibration roller 15 and a conveyor belt are installed under the cage bottom plate 4. The vibration roller 15 and the conveyor belt are prior art. For example, the two ends of the existing vibration roller 15 are a driving shaft and a driven shaft. The driving shaft is driven to rotate by a reducer. When the conveyor belt rotates, the vibration roller 15 also rotates to vibrate the feces on the conveyor belt.

[0030] Working principle of the utility model: when putting chicks in, all the partition plates 2 are pulled out from one side of the outside of the cage body 1 until they do not affect the birds passing through below, so that each row of cages (tens or hundreds of meters long) is empty, and when the main water line 8 is installed on the top of the cage body 1, the main water line 8 (connected to the water supply device through the rotary joint) is rotated to a horizontal position, and the chain 3 is started to run forward, and chicken (duck) chicks are placed on the cage bottom plate 4 from the inlet end of the chain 3, while the chain is rotated, until all the push-pull plugs are filled with chicks, the chain stops running, and then the entrance end of each row of cages is blocked with a blocking plate, and the main water line 8 waterer (i.e., the water feeding tray 10) is rotated to be vertically downward, and the normal feeding stage is entered;

[0031] When the chickens are released from the market, first pull out each push-pull board 2 manually or electrically, then rotate the water feeding tray under each main water line to a horizontal position, pull out the push-pull board 2 at the chick end of the cage 1, start the chain 3 to reverse back, and move the finished chickens out in sequence to complete the release. When the chickens are released from the market, photoelectric sensors can be installed on both sides of the cage to measure the number of chickens. The delivered finished chickens can be connected to the transfer cage or directly enter another patented loading and unloading transport vehicle of our company.

[0032] The above description is only an illustrative embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Any equivalent changes and modifications made by any technician in the field without departing from the concept and principle of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
