Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of poultry transportation technology, specifically to a multi-layer transmission loading and transporting device for poultry. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, in order to improve the efficiency of chicken removal and reduce the labor intensity and labor costs of catching chickens, automated chicken removal equipment has been widely adopted. Through automated chicken removal in cages and automated transfer equipment, chickens can be transported to the outside of the coop.
[0003] For example, a poultry farming system with publication number CN114208718A has a cage that can move under the drive of a cage mesh guide rail, realizing automated loading and unloading of chickens. Furthermore, a motor-driven manure belt is installed below the cage mesh guide rail, which can realize automated cleaning of manure generated during the farming process. Moreover, the farming cage includes a main frame of the device and a protective net fixed to the main frame of the device. The main frame of the device adopts a detachable splicing structure and uses clamps to achieve detachable connection. Then, the protective net can be fixed to the main frame of the device as needed. After the main frame of the device with different sides is stacked together and transported to the site, it is spliced and assembled using clamps. When it is necessary to transport this foldable poultry farming device to another location, it is only necessary to remove the clamps to realize the stacking and transportation between the different sides of the main frame of the device.
[0004] However, the above structure still requires a large number of chicken handlers to catch the chickens and put them into the chicken baskets. Then, forklifts are used to load the chicken baskets into the chicken trucks. After arriving at the slaughterhouse, the loading and unloading of the chicken baskets and the removal of the chickens from the baskets are necessary. This batch-style process of unloading and emptying the baskets results in a large workload, a high rate of chicken injuries, and is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and leads to high breeding costs. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a multi-layer transmission loading and transporting device for poultry. By utilizing multi-layer storage racks and a transmission device located on the storage racks, chickens can be directly transferred and moved out, improving the efficiency of loading and unloading chickens.
[0006] It adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A multi-layer transmission transport device for loading poultry includes a frame located on a transport body. The frame has multiple vertically arranged storage racks for placing poultry. Each storage rack has a conveying device for conveying poultry at its lower part. The conveying device includes a drive roller and a driven roller located at both ends of the storage rack. A drive device is connected to the drive roller. An annular conveyor belt is connected to both the drive roller and the driven roller. A set of conveyor belt supports is provided between the drive roller and the driven roller, and the conveyor belt supports are supported on the bottom of the upper layer of the conveyor belt.
[0008] When the conveyor belt is transporting in the forward direction, the chickens in the cage are transferred to the storage rack through the transfer device; when the conveyor belt is transporting in the reverse direction, the chickens in the storage rack are unloaded through the transfer device.
[0009] Furthermore, a pressure roller is provided near the area of the drive roller, and the pressure roller is located at the bottom of the lower layer of the conveyor belt to increase the wrap angle of the conveyor belt at the drive roller.
[0010] Furthermore, the vehicle frame includes a frame-type support body, the support body has the storage rack inside, the support body has hollow side walls on both sides, a top net on the top, and an openable door net at the rear of the support body.
[0011] Furthermore, the storage rack is equipped with a middle partition mesh.
[0012] Furthermore, the sidewall is composed of a set of parallel rods.
[0013] Furthermore, the two sides of the frame are provided with communicating limiting grooves, and a pull-out baffle for dividing the storage rack space can be inserted into the limiting groove.
[0014] The advantages of this utility model compared to the prior art are as follows:
[0015] This invention utilizes a vertically arranged multi-layered storage rack and a poultry conveying device at the bottom of the rack. The forward and reverse motion of the conveying device transports chickens in and out of the storage rack, thus maximizing labor savings and reducing workload throughout the entire loading and unloading process.
[0016] By setting limiting grooves and pull-out baffles on the frame, the storage space can be effectively divided to prevent chickens from being killed or injured by collisions caused by vehicle inertia during transportation. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To make this utility model clearer, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, further illustrates a multi-layer transmission loading and transporting device for poultry. The specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a multi-layer transmission transport device for loading poultry includes a transport body 1. Considering the transport capacity, the transport body 1 is preferably a heavy-duty flatbed truck. A frame 2 is welded to the load-bearing area of the flatbed truck. The frame 2 is formed by welding or riveting high-rigidity and high-strength metal components such as pipes, steel profiles, and wire mesh.
[0024] The frame 2 includes a frame-type support body 21, which is welded to the load-bearing plane of the flatbed. The support body 21 is a three-dimensional rectangular frame structure formed by welding together several vertical and horizontal steel sections, and its outline is perfectly matched to the load-bearing area of the flatbed. Inside, it forms vertically multi-layered storage racks 3, each rack 3 having the same height and length. On both sides of the support body 21 in the width direction, there are perforated side walls 22, which can be composed of a group of horizontally and parallelly arranged rods welded together. A top net 23 is provided at the top of the support body 21, and an openable door net 24 is provided at the rear of the support body 21 (the rear of the transport body 1). Thus, the entire frame 2 not only has ample storage space but also good ventilation, providing favorable conditions for the subsequent storage of chickens.
[0025] A set of intermediate partition nets 25 is also provided at the rear of the frame 2. Each intermediate partition net 25 is located at the rear of the corresponding storage rack 3 to divide the space. For example, the intermediate partition net 25 is located at the center of the width direction of the frame 2. On both sides of the width direction at the rear of the frame 2, there are also mutually communicating limiting grooves 26. The limiting grooves 26 are vertical grooves. They can be formed by the gap between adjacent welded vertical steel pipes in the side wall 22, or they can be formed by steel pipes bent into a U-shaped slit. The positions and sizes of the limiting grooves 26 in the side walls 22 correspond to each other. As needed, a pull-out baffle 4 can be inserted into the limiting groove 26 and locked in place, thereby further dividing the space of the corresponding layer of storage rack 3 and preventing chickens from being injured or killed by collision due to vehicle inertia during transportation.
[0026] A conveying device 5 is provided in the lower area of each storage rack 3. It includes a drive roller 51 and a driven roller 52 located at the front and rear ends of the storage rack 3, respectively. Both the drive roller 51 and the driven roller 52 are simply supported structures, with their ends rotatably connected by bearings. The bearings are fixed to the transverse steel of the supporting body 21, providing stable support for the drive roller 51 and the driven roller 52. A drive device 53 is connected to one end of the drive roller 51. Preferably, the drive device 53 is a geared motor, with its output directly connected to the end of the drive roller 51. The geared motor is fixed to the supporting body 21. A circular conveyor belt 54 is connected to both the drive roller 51 and the driven roller 52. The conveyor belt 54 contacts the roller surfaces of the drive roller 51 and the driven roller 52, and is driven to move by the geared motor. By controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the drive device 53, the forward and reverse movement of the conveyor belt 54 is realized. In this embodiment, the upper layer of the conveyor belt 54 is set to move into the storage rack 3 as forward transportation and move out of the storage rack 3 as reverse transportation.
[0027] Considering the large distance between the drive roller 51 and the driven roller 52, the conveyor surface of the conveyor belt 54 is subject to its own weight and the weight of chickens and chicken manure, making it prone to excessive bending and unable to move smoothly. Therefore, a set of conveyor belt support rods 55 is provided between the drive roller 51 and the driven roller 52. The conveyor belt support rods 55 support the bottom of the upper layer of the conveyor belt 54 to provide support. The two ends of the conveyor belt support rods 55 can be directly and loosely inserted into the through holes of the steel profiles of the support body 21, allowing the conveyor belt support rods 55 to rotate freely. Furthermore, in addition to this, conveyor belt support rods 55 (not shown in the figure) can also be provided at the bottom of the lower layer of the conveyor belt 54 to reduce sagging of the lower layer of the conveyor belt 54.
[0028] To reduce or even prevent slippage of the drive roller 51, a pressure roller 56 is provided near the drive roller 51. The pressure roller 56 is located at the bottom of the lower layer of the conveyor belt 54 to increase the wrap angle of the conveyor belt 54 at the drive roller 51. The pressure roller 56 may have a simply supported structure, with both ends connected to the support body 21 via bearing seats. In some embodiments, the axis of the pressure roller 56 is parallel to the axis of the drive roller 51, and the axis of the pressure roller 56 is located above the lowest point of the drive roller 51, thus ensuring that the wrap angle of the conveyor belt 54 at that point is greater than 180° to prevent slippage.
[0029] This device needs to be used in conjunction with the existing technology transfer device 6, which has height adjustment and conveying functions.
[0030] The working process of this device is as follows: Figure 4As shown, during chicken loading, the height of the transfer device 6 is adjusted to match the number of layers in the storage rack 3. Chickens in the cages are transferred out of the shed via the transfer device 6. After the drive unit 53 starts forward transport, chickens falling onto the conveyor belt 54 are conveyed into the storage rack 3. The pressure roller 56 increases the wrap angle between the conveyor belt 54 and the drive roller 51 to prevent slippage. The drive roller 51 provides direct driving force to the conveyor belt 54, ensuring smooth transport while meeting the chicken's carrying capacity requirements. Then, a pull-out baffle 4 is inserted into the corresponding limiting groove 26 to separate the chickens into single-layer areas, preventing chickens from being injured by impact due to vehicle inertia during transport. After loading a single layer of chickens, the docking height of the transfer device 6 can be adjusted to load chickens into different layers. When the chickens are transported to the slaughterhouse for unloading, the reverse transport of the drive unit 53 can be used to unload chickens from different layers, and the chickens are directly transferred to the hanging platform via the transfer device 6. The entire process of loading and unloading chickens can achieve maximum labor savings, reduce workload, and reduce the injury rate of chickens.
[0031] The above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all embodiments here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived from the essential spirit of this utility model still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
