[0024] The following description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0025] The following embodiments can be understood as a part of the local structure or method of the present invention, or as a combination of embodiments to explain the connotation of a larger range of structures or methods of the present invention.
[0026] A feed feeding device for raising laying hens, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the system includes a chicken cage body 1 and a feeding trough mechanism 2. The feeding trough mechanism 2 is located at the front end of the chicken cage body 1. The feeding trough mechanism 2 includes a feed trough body 218 and a movable isolation net connected to the rear end of the feed trough body 218. The movable isolation net slides and engages with the front end of the chicken cage body 1 to form a blocking structure at the front end of the chicken cage body (i.e., the front end of the chicken cage body is open, and the movable isolation net blocks the hens from entering or leaving). The movable isolation net is connected to the feed trough body 218 via a linear drive mechanism. The function of the movable isolation net is: when the movable isolation net is in close contact with the feed trough body, the heads of the hens can pass through the isolation net to eat; when the movable isolation net moves backward a certain distance, it can block the hens from eating, thereby enabling timed feeding control of the hens.
[0027] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-5As shown, the chicken cage body 1 is a cubic structure, the bottom plate 11 of the chicken cage body extends forward to form a support plate, the trough body 218 is embedded on the support plate and fixedly connected with the support plate, the thickness of the left and right side walls of the trough body 218 is greater than that of the front and rear side walls, and Figure 4 As shown.
[0028] Further, as shown in Figures 1-5 The front end of the upper surface of the support plate is further provided with a limiting block 25 (as shown in Figure 1 、 2 The rear end of the limiting block 25 abuts against the front end of the trough body 218, so as to further limit the position of the trough body.
[0029] Further, as shown in Figures 1-5 The movable isolation net includes vertical rods 24 arranged on the left and right sides, the top end of the vertical rod 24 is provided with a roller 213, the roller 213 is in sliding connection with the lower surface of the top plate 12 of the chicken cage body 1, the bottom end of the vertical rod 24 is provided with a sliding block (not shown in the figure), the sliding block is in sliding connection with a straight sliding rail 29 prearranged on the upper surface of the bottom plate 11, the top of the two vertical rods 24 is fixedly connected with a horizontal rod 211, the isolation net 216 is connected between the two vertical rods 24 and the horizontal rod 211, the distance between the vertical rod 24 and the side wall of the chicken cage body 1 and the distance between the isolation net 216 and the upper surface of the bottom plate 11 both satisfy the condition of preventing the laying hens from passing through.
[0030] Further, as shown in Figures 1-5 The outer surface of the horizontal rod 211 is uniformly arranged with a plurality of bell-ringing devices 212 along the left-right direction.
[0031] Further, as shown in Figures 1-5 The straight-line driving mechanism includes two electric push rods 23 arranged horizontally along the front-rear direction, the fixed ends of the two electric push rods 23 are fixedly connected with the outer surfaces of the left and right side walls of the trough body 218, and the telescopic ends are fixedly connected with the lower part of the front side of the outer surface of the vertical rod 24, so as to realize the displacement of the isolation net through the telescopic extension of the electric push rod.
[0032] Further, as shown in Figures 1-5 The left and right side walls of the trough body 218 are respectively provided with a plurality of guide holes 21 arranged along the front-rear direction, the guide holes 21 are in sliding connection with guide rods 22, and one end of the guide rod 22 is fixedly connected with the vertical rod 24. By arranging the guide hole and the guide rod, the stability of the movable isolation net is further improved
[0033] Further, as shown in Figures 1-5As shown, the feeding trough body 218 includes a cubic trough body and a funnel-shaped discharge structure 215 integrally connected to the bottom end of the trough body. The trough body is embedded in a pre-set through hole (not shown in the figure) of the support plate and is fixedly connected to the through hole. The front side wall of the part of the trough body embedded in the through hole is provided with a through slot 217. The support plate opposite to the slot 217 is provided with a guide groove (not marked in the figure) that passes through the front end face. The slot 217 is equipped with a baffle 27 that passes through the guide groove and cooperates with the slot. The baffle 27 constitutes the bottom plate of the trough body. The outer end of the baffle 27 is provided with a handle 28.
[0034] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, it also includes a controller (not shown in the figure), which is located in the monitoring room of the egg-laying chicken farm. The controller is electrically connected to the electric push rod 23 via a wire. The top plate 12 extends forward to form a rain shield structure 26, and the rear end of the linear slide rail 29 is provided with a limiting post 210.
[0035] The working principle of this new type:
[0036] When it's feeding time, the controller uses an electric push rod to pull the movable isolation net closer to the feed trough. During this process, a bell rings, attracting the hens to the side of the net to put their heads through it to eat. Over time, the bell sound creates a conditioned reflex in the hens to eat. After feeding time, the controller uses the electric push rod to push the net away from the feed trough, preventing the hens from eating. To clean the feed trough, a baffle can be pulled out and thoroughly rinsed with a high-pressure water gun. After rinsing, the baffle can be reinserted.
