Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of poultry farming technology, specifically to a pet duck breeding facility. Background Technology

[0002] In modern society, pet ownership is becoming increasingly common. Besides common animal species like cats and dogs, poultry (such as chickens, ducks, and geese) are also increasingly accepted as pets. When keeping poultry as pets, especially when providing them with appropriate resting facilities, the following factors need to be considered more carefully than for cats and dogs: for example, poultry are likely to lay eggs more frequently (compared to cats and dogs), whether poultry droppings are recycled effectively, and the diversity of the resting facility's environment, etc.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN208242573U discloses an ecological duck house suitable for rice-duck-fish circular farming. In order to make the most of the various organic products in this small ecosystem, the ecological duck house must be built in the specific setting of rice fields, which limits its application scope and makes it clearly impossible to apply to the setting of urban household pets. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the problems of the prior art, this application proposes a pet duck breeding facility, including a floor, a roof, a plurality of pillars, at least one first side enclosure, and at least one second side enclosure. The floor and the roof are identical in shape and size, and each has a floor edge and a roof edge that correspond to each other. The plurality of pillars are disposed between the floor and the roof to support the roof. Each pair of adjacent pillars defines a separate side. Each of the sides is provided with a single first side enclosure, a single second side enclosure, or no side enclosure of any type. In at least one of the sides provided with a single first side enclosure, the corresponding floor edge is provided with a ground connector for connecting to the ground, and the corresponding roof edge has a cantilever connector for detachably connecting to a cantilever or leaving it idle.

[0005] In one embodiment, the floor and the ceiling are formed in the shape of a triangle, quadrilateral, polygon, circle, or ellipse.

[0006] In another embodiment, the pet duck breeding facility further includes an egg-laying mat and an egg-collecting trough. The egg-laying mat is formed with a slope, and the egg-laying mat is positioned such that its top side is in close contact with the edge of the floor where the ground connector is provided, and the egg-collecting trough is positioned on the bottom side of the egg-laying mat.

[0007] In another embodiment, the top plate is a photovoltaic panel or the top surface of the top plate is provided with a photovoltaic panel.

[0008] In another embodiment, the first side enclosure is a removable fence that spans / covers the entire side of the current first side enclosure, and the removable fence is also provided with a heating device and / or insulation material.

[0009] In another embodiment, the second side enclosure is a roller blind, the lowermost end of which is at a specific distance from the floor.

[0010] In yet another embodiment, the floor is in the form of a slatted floor.

[0011] In another embodiment, when the pet duck breeding facility is completely on the ground, the pet duck breeding facility is detachably connected to an aquarium or hydroponic tank via the ground connector.

[0012] In another embodiment, when the pet duck breeding facility is located on the shore of an aquatic environment, the aquatic environment is divided into at least two parts, wherein the first part of the aquatic environment located below the pet duck breeding facility is a sedimentation zone, and the second part of the aquatic environment located away from the pet duck breeding facility is an aquatic plant planting zone.

[0013] In another embodiment, a third part of the aquatic environment, serving as a disposal area, is further defined between the sedimentation zone and the aquatic plant planting zone.

[0014] With the above configuration, the pet duck breeding facility of this application can be placed entirely on the ground or arranged on the shore of aquatic environments. This means that urban residents can also use the pet duck breeding facility at home (e.g., on balconies, backyards, etc.), demonstrating its universal applicability. The roof panel itself is a photovoltaic panel, or the top surface of the roof panel is equipped with photovoltaic panels to power the pet duck breeding facility, reducing or even eliminating the need for the facility to obtain energy from external sources, thus indirectly saving on energy requirements. Furthermore, the pet duck breeding facility can be designed so that, on the shore of aquatic environments, especially with a certain distance between the second side enclosure and the floor, the pet ducks can pass through this gap to enter the water and play, which is beneficial to their physical and mental health. Furthermore, the pet duck breeding facility can also be set up in an aquatic environment. Organic waste (such as pet duck droppings) falls into the aquatic environment through the slatted floor and can be continuously absorbed by aquatic animals / plants. This not only improves the recycling rate of organic waste, but also provides a high-quality fertilizer / feed source for aquatic animals / plants. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0021] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "X-axis," "Y-axis," "Z-axis," "vertical," "parallel," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0022] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-2 The diagrams show simplified schematics of pet duck breeding facilities according to different embodiments of this application, wherein... Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the pet duck breeding facility, along with the pool, is located above ground. Figure 2 The water tank of the pet duck breeding facility in the illustrated embodiment is excavated from the ground, with only the resting area for the pet ducks located above ground. The pet duck breeding facility includes a roof 1, a floor 2, several supports (not shown), at least one first side enclosure 3, and at least one second side enclosure 4. The roof 1 and floor 2 are identical in shape and size; for example, they can be triangular, quadrilateral, polygonal, circular, or elliptical. Therefore, regardless of their geometric shape, the roof 1 and floor 2 have corresponding roof edges and floor edges, even if they are circular or elliptical, they still have corresponding rounded edges. Several supports are arranged between the roof 1 and floor 2 to support the roof 1. In particular, when the roof 1 and floor 2 are triangular, quadrilateral, or polygonal, these supports are preferably arranged at the corners of the triangle, quadrilateral, or polygon; alternatively, when the roof 1 and floor 2 are circular or elliptical, these supports can be arranged equidistantly along their perimeter. Each pair of adjacent pillars defines a separate side, meaning the number of pillars corresponds to the number of sides. Each side is provided with a single first side enclosure 3, a single second side enclosure 4, or neither type of side enclosure is provided. It is important to note that at least one of these sides must be provided with a single first side enclosure 3.

[0024] To ensure the universal applicability of this pet duck breeding facility, that is, to ensure that it can be used in both urban households and rural farms (e.g., on the banks of ponds), it is necessary to equip the pet duck breeding facility with a special positioning structure. In at least one side with a single first side enclosure 3, one side is arbitrarily selected, within which the corresponding floor edge is provided with a ground-connecting member (not shown), and the corresponding top edge has a cantilever connecting member (not shown). When the pet duck breeding facility is completely on the ground, the entire facility is detachably connected to an aquarium or hydroponic tank, and its weight is transferred to the ground through the bottom of the aquarium or hydroponic tank. In other words, the aquarium or hydroponic tank serves as the base of the entire facility; however, the ground-connecting member connects the floor 2 to the aquarium or hydroponic tank, while the cantilever connecting members are idle at this time. Alternatively, when the pet duck breeding facility is located on the bank of a water body, the ground connector connects the floor 2 to the ground on the bank, preferably in a hinged form. Simultaneously, the cantilever connector connects the top plate 1 to the external cantilever 5. In this way, the ground connector acts as a fulcrum, while the cantilever 5 lifts the entire facility until the floor 2 is suspended above the water surface. Thus, the pet duck breeding facility achieves widespread applicability in urban homes or on the banks of rural water bodies.

[0025] Furthermore, on either side of the pet duck breeding facility, preferably on the side where a single first side enclosure 3 is provided, or (when the pet duck breeding facility is located on the bank of a water environment) on the side adjacent to the bank, a laying mat 6 and an egg collection trough 7 are provided. The laying mat 6 is formed with a slope. The laying mat 6 is positioned such that its top side is close to the edge of the floor, particularly when the pet duck breeding facility is located on the bank of a water environment, its top side is close to the edge of the floor where the ground connection is provided. The egg collection trough 7 is positioned on the bottom side of the laying mat 6. The advantage of this arrangement is that when pet ducks or other poultry reach the egg-laying period, the owner can use appropriate means to lure them to the laying mat 6 to lay eggs. The eggs are then rolled down the slope of the laying mat 6 into the egg collection trough 7, thus eliminating the need for the owner to collect the eggs everywhere due to their natural tendency to lay eggs indiscriminately.

[0026] Optionally, the roof panel 1 itself can be a photovoltaic (PV) panel, or at least, the top surface of the roof panel 1 is provided with PV panels. At any time, especially on sunny days with high illuminance, the PV panels convert solar energy into electrical energy, which can power the pet duck breeding facility and its surrounding electrical equipment, further saving energy. For example, the pet duck breeding facility can have lighting fixtures 8 installed inside, which are powered by the PV panels. Of course, considering that the power generation of the PV panels may not be sufficient to support the daily energy consumption of the pet duck breeding facility, the pet duck breeding facility can also be equipped with an electrical outlet to obtain power from the outside.

[0027] In this embodiment, the first side enclosure 3 is a removable fence that spans / covers the entire side of the current first side enclosure 3. Furthermore, the removable fence is also equipped with a heating device and / or insulation material; it is conceivable that the heating device (if present) could also be powered by the aforementioned PV panel. When the removable fence is installed on the current side, it can prevent pet ducks or other poultry from leaving the pet duck breeding facility from the current side; when the removable fence is removed, for example, when the pet ducks or other poultry reach their egg-laying period, the owner can lure them across the current side until they reach the laying pad 6 to lay eggs.

[0028] On the other hand, the second side enclosure 4 can be a roller shutter, with a specific distance between the bottom of the shutter and the floor. Similarly, the raising and lowering of this roller shutter can be powered by the aforementioned PV panel. Pet ducks or other poultry can pass through this gap to reach the outdoor area (relative to the pet duck breeding facility) or enter the water to play, allowing them to move around in a wider space, which is beneficial to the physical and mental health of the pet ducks.

[0029] Similarly, it is conceivable that the pet duck breeding facility is also equipped with a feeding trough 9 and a water trough 10, into which feed and drinking water can be added automatically or manually, so that pet ducks or other poultry can eat / replenish their water. In particular, when the operation of adding feed and drinking water to the feeding trough 9 and water trough 10 is carried out automatically, the feeding trough 9 and water trough 10 can also be powered by the aforementioned PV panel.

[0030] Floor 2 is in the form of a slatted floor, which can be any commercially available type. When the pet duck breeding facility is entirely above ground, the area beneath floor 2 (i.e., the slatted floor) is an aquatic environment (e.g., an aquarium, hydroponic pond). The poultry droppings that leak down from floor 2 fall directly into the water, becoming nutrients for aquatic animals / plants.

[0031] The aquatic environment is divided into at least two parts. The first part, located below the pet duck breeding facility, is a sedimentation zone 12. The second part, located away from the pet duck breeding facility, is an aquatic plant planting area 13. Optionally, a third part, defined as a disposal zone 14, is further divided between the sedimentation zone 12 and the aquatic plant planting area 13. Whether or not to include this disposal zone 14 depends on the area of ​​the balcony and the aquatic environment. For example, if the area of ​​the aquatic environment is small, the disposal zone 14 may not be defined, and even the aquatic plant planting area 13 may be reduced accordingly. In the sedimentation zone 12, poultry droppings from the pet duck breeding facility can be digested and consumed by fish, shrimp, and crabs, and more droppings will settle to the bottom of the sedimentation zone 12. Water pumps 11 can be installed at the bottom of the spacer between sedimentation zone 12 and disposal zone 14, and at the bottom of the spacer between disposal zone 14 and aquatic plant planting zone 13. The water pump 11 between sedimentation zone 12 and disposal zone 14 pumps the settled poultry manure to disposal zone 14, and the water pump 11 between disposal zone 14 and aquatic plant planting zone 13 pumps poultry manure that is not completely consumed in disposal zone 14 to aquatic plant planting zone 13. In disposal zone 14, poultry manure becomes nutrients for algae and duckweed; in aquatic plant planting zone 13, poultry manure becomes nutrients for hydroponic vegetables. Through this configuration, the entire aquatic environment uses poultry manure as the main feed / fertilizer. This recycling of organic waste not only protects the environment but also improves the growth quality of aquatic plants and animals. Furthermore, a fence 15 can also be installed above the spacer between sedimentation zone 12 and disposal zone 14, with several openings 16 near the water surface. The size of the openings 16 prevents birds from swimming from the sedimentation zone 12 to the digestion zone 14, but allows birds to stretch their necks through these openings 16 to feed on the algae and duckweed cultivated in the digestion zone 14.

[0032] Back Figure 1 Furthermore, when the pet duck breeding facility is located on the backyard floor of a home with a backyard, it is highly likely that the homeowner will not dig a pond on the ground, but rather place a large tank as a pond. In this case, the pond is higher than the backyard floor, so a ladder 17 can be mounted on the side with the single first side enclosure 3, especially on its floor edge, so that pet ducks or other poultry can climb the ladder 17 from the land to enter the pet duck breeding facility, and even eventually enter the water environment to play.

[0033] It should be understood that the above-described figures and specific embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of this application, and not an exhaustive list of possible implementations of this application. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications to the above-described specific embodiments within the scope of protection of this application without departing from the spirit of this application.
