Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of breeding, in particular to a feeding pedal with a claw grinding function. Background Art

[0002] Poultry animals need to grind their claws during the growth process. Otherwise, due to their too long nails, they will have difficulty walking, thus affecting the normal growth of chicks. Free-range chickens achieve claw grinding through daily walking or foraging; however, caged chickens cannot walk long distances and forage due to limited space, resulting in their too long nails. On the other hand, when chicks feed, due to their relatively low height and a certain height difference from the feeding trough, it is difficult for them to feed; in order to facilitate chicks to feed, a feeding pedal is arranged at the included angle position between the feeding trough and the bottom net in the breeding cage. Chicks step on the feeding pedal to forage, making up for the height difference between the chicks and the feeding trough and facilitating chicks to feed. Chicks' feeding is the main activity of caged chickens. If claw grinding of caged chickens can be achieved through this activity, the problem of too long nails of caged chickens will be solved.

[0003] Therefore, there is a need for a feeding pedal that enables chickens to grind their claws during the feeding process and ensures the healthy growth of chicks. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a feeding pedal with a claw grinding function, which realizes claw grinding of chicks during the feeding process and ensures the healthy growth of caged chickens.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides a feeding pedal with a claw grinding function, which includes a foot pedal extending obliquely upward to the right, a hook part connected to the right end of the foot pedal and bent left and backward, and a claw grinding structure for chickens to grind their claws is arranged on the foot pedal.

[0006] After adopting the above structure, when a chicken steps on the foot pedal to forage, its nails will be inserted into the claw grinding structure, realizing friction on the nails, thereby realizing claw grinding of chicks during the feeding process and ensuring the healthy growth of caged chickens.

[0007] In order to facilitate the insertion of chicken nails, the claw grinding structure includes holes evenly arranged on the foot pedal that allow chicken nails to be inserted.

[0008] In order to facilitate the grasping of chicks' chicken feet, prevent them from slipping during the feeding process, and at the same time facilitate the grinding of their nails, the claw grinding structure includes a plurality of convex ribs arranged in parallel and extending along the length direction of the foot pedal. The top of the convex ribs is a smooth supporting surface, and claw grinding holes that allow chicken nails to be inserted are arranged on both sides of the supporting surface on the convex ribs.

[0009] To facilitate the insertion of the chicks' nails and avoid reducing the strength of the feeding pedal due to an overly large coverage area of the claw-grinding holes, the claw-grinding holes are long-strip holes or circular holes evenly arranged.

[0010] To increase the contact area between the nails and the claw-grinding holes and improve the claw-grinding effect, the claw-grinding holes are of a blind-hole structure.

[0011] To further increase the contact area between the nails and the claw-grinding holes and improve the claw-grinding effect, the bottom of the claw-grinding holes is arc-shaped.

[0012] To improve the claw-grinding effect, a frosted surface is provided at the position where the nails contact in the claw-grinding holes.

[0013] To facilitate replacement and reduce costs, sandpaper is adhesively attached to the inner wall of the claw-grinding holes.

[0014] To increase the service life of the frosted surface, an inlay block made of frosted material is inlaid in the claw-grinding holes. The height of the inlay block does not exceed the radial depth of the claw-grinding holes, and an arc-shaped groove is provided on the side of the inlay block corresponding to the notch of the claw-grinding holes.

[0015] To facilitate the bottom support of the bottom feeding pedal, a vertically downward support plate is provided at the left end of the foot pedal, and a folding edge that folds upward to the right is provided at the bottom of the support plate.

[0016] After adopting the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0017] The feeding pedal with a claw-grinding function of the present utility model solves the technical problem in the prior art that the feeding pedal has a single function and cannot realize the claw-grinding function. By providing a claw-grinding structure on the feeding pedal, the present utility model enables chicks to grind their claws during the feeding process, ensuring the healthy growth of cage-raised chickens.

[0025] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] All the orientations involved in this specification are subject to the orientation when a feeding pedal with a claw grinding function of the present utility model is working properly, and do not limit its orientation during storage and transportation. It only represents the relative positional relationship and does not represent the absolute positional relationship.

[0027] Embodiment 1:

[0028] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 jointly shown, a feeding pedal with a claw grinding function includes a foot pedal 3 that extends obliquely upward to the right, and a hook part 1 connected to the right end of the foot pedal 3 and bent left and backward. The hook part 1 can be integrally formed with the foot pedal 3 by sheet metal or formed by welding a spring piece, and this embodiment does not limit this. The hook part 1 is used to hook on the side wall of the feeding trough or on the cage net adjacent to the feeding trough.

[0029] In order to achieve stable support for the feeding pedal, a vertically downward support plate 2 is provided at the left end of the foot pedal 3, and a folded edge that folds upward to the right is provided at the bottom of the support plate 2. The support plate 2 supports on the bottom net and is used for supporting the bottom of the foot pedal 3 to ensure its stability.

[0030] A claw grinding structure for chickens is provided on the foot pedal 3.

[0031] When installing the feeding pedal, only need to hook the hook part 1 of the feeding pedal on the side wall of the feeding trough or on the cage net adjacent to the feeding trough. The foot pedal 3 is located inside the chicken coop, and the support plate 2 catches the bottom net of the chicken coop. The chicks can walk along the foot pedal 3 to the upper part to forage. When the chicks grow up, the feeding pedal can be disassembled from the hanging place, and there is no need to frequently replace the feeding trough.

[0032] In this embodiment, the claw grinding structure includes holes 31 evenly arranged on the foot pedal 3 that allow the chicken's nails to be inserted. When the chicks climb the foot pedal 3, their nails are inserted into the holes 31. On the one hand, it prevents the chicks from sliding down and enables them to climb smoothly to the top of the foot pedal 3. On the other hand, when the chicks' nails are inserted into the holes 31, a certain friction is generated between the nails and the holes 31, thus playing the function of claw grinding.

[0033] Embodiment 2:

[0034] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 jointly shown, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment lies in the different claw grinding structures.

[0035] In this embodiment, the claw grinding structure includes a plurality of convex ribs 32 arranged in parallel and extending along the length direction of the foot pedal 3. The top of the convex rib 32 is a smooth supporting surface 321. Claw grinding holes 322 allowing the nails of young chickens to be inserted are arranged on both sides of the supporting surface 321 of the convex rib 32; the claw grinding holes 322 can be long strip holes or circular holes arranged evenly.

[0036] When a young chicken climbs on the foot pedal 3, the chicken claw grasps the convex rib 32, and the sole of the chicken claw supports on the supporting surface 321. The smooth supporting surface 321 will not cause abrasion to the inner skin of the chicken claw, while its nail is inserted into the claw grinding hole 322, and a certain friction is generated between the nail and the claw grinding hole 322, thus playing the function of claw grinding.

[0037] Embodiment Three:

[0038] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 jointly shown, on the basis of Embodiment Two, this embodiment is further improved. In order to increase the claw grinding function of the claw grinding hole 322, the claw grinding hole 322 is of a blind hole structure; the blind hole structure can ensure the rotation of the chicken claw during the climbing process of the young chicken, enabling the nail to contact the bottom of the claw grinding hole 322, thereby improving the claw grinding effect.

[0039] In order to further improve the claw grinding effect and increase the contact area between the nail of the young chicken and the bottom of the claw grinding hole 322, the bottom of the claw grinding hole 322 is of a circular arc bottom.

[0040] In order to further improve the claw grinding effect, a frosted surface is arranged at the position where the nail contacts in the claw grinding hole 322.

[0041] As Figure 5 shown, for the convenience of replacement and cost reduction, the frosted surface can be formed by adhering sandpaper on the inner wall of the claw grinding hole 322.

[0042] Since the sandpaper is easy to fall off, in order to improve the service life of the frosted surface, an inlay block 323 made of frosted material is inlaid in the claw grinding hole 322. The height of the inlay block 323 does not exceed the radial depth of the claw grinding hole 322, and a circular arc-shaped groove is arranged on the inlay block corresponding to the notch side of the claw grinding hole 322.

[0043] Certainly, the above description is not a limitation of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above examples. Changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the essence of the present invention should also fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
