Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of egg-laying hen breeding equipment, and more specifically, to a cage for raising egg-laying hens equipped with a feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Layer hen cages are specialized breeding equipment designed for layer hens, aiming to provide a comfortable growing environment, improve egg production efficiency, and enhance egg quality. Layer hen cages utilize a multi-level rearing system, making full use of space, increasing the number of hens that can be raised, and facilitating management.

[0003] Patent publication number CN221901902U discloses a cage for raising laying hens equipped with a feeding device, including a cage body with an egg outlet at the bottom of one side. In cage-raising of laying hens, since the hens' activity space is limited to the cage, their excrement also occurs within the cage. Furthermore, the short excretion cycle of laying hens makes cleaning the cage inconvenient. Therefore, a mesh plate is installed at the bottom of the cage body. The excrement from the laying hens inside the cage flows through the mesh of the mesh plate into a collection box located below the cage body. After the collection box is empty, the operator can move the sliders fixed on both sides of the collection box by pulling the handle on the outside of the collection box. As the sliders move, the locking blocks in the arc-shaped grooves at both ends retract into the grooves under the action of springs, thus facilitating the cleaning of the excrement inside the collection box. This ensures a better living environment for the laying hens raised in the cage, thereby enhancing the practicality of the device.

[0004] However, the feed trough in patent publication number CN221901902U adopts a conventional structure, which makes it impossible to distribute the feed evenly on the inner side of the feed trough. When multiple laying hens in the cage are feeding, the uneven distribution of feed will cause some laying hens to be unable to eat more feed, thus affecting the growth of the laying hens. In order to make the feed evenly distributed, we propose a cage for raising laying hens with a feeding device to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] 1. Technical problems to be solved

[0006] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a cage for raising laying hens equipped with a feeding device.

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] Example:

[0034] Please see Figure 1-8 A cage for raising laying hens equipped with a feeding device includes a cage body 1, a base 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the cage body 1, and a cage door 3 hinged to the cage body 1. A feeding opening 4 is provided on the part of the cage body 1 away from the cage door 3.

[0035] Four feeding ports are equipped with feeding devices installed on the outside of the main body 1 of the breeding cage;

[0036] The feeding device includes a feeding box 5 installed on the outside of the main body 1 of the breeding cage and having an open top, a feeding opening 6 opened on the side wall of the feeding box 5 and corresponding to the feeding opening 4, a bottom plate 7 fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the feeding box 5, a baffle 8 set at the bottom of the feeding opening 6, a guide plate 9 fixedly connected above the bottom plate 7, a feeding plate 10 fixedly connected to the root of the guide plate 9 and away from the feeding opening 6, a feeding hole 11 opened on the surface of the feeding plate 10, and mounting ears 12 symmetrically arranged at the edge of the top opening of the feeding box 5.

[0037] It should be noted that when using this cage-raising hen cage equipped with a feeding device, firstly, the feeding opening 6 on the feeding box 5, which constitutes the feeding device, corresponds to the feeding opening 4 on the main body 1 of the cage. Then, the feeding box 5 is fixed to the outside of the main body 1 of the cage. The feed for raising laying hens is poured in through the top opening of the feeding box 5. The guide plate 9 guides the feed, while the feeding plate 10 guides the feed, so that the feed falls evenly onto the bottom plate 7 through the feeding hole 11. The area above the feeding plate 10 can be used to store feed. Open the cage door 3, put multiple laying hens into the inside of the main body 1 of the cage, and close the cage door 3. The baffle 8 can be used to intercept feed to prevent spillage. During the process of the laying hens pecking, as the feed on the bottom plate 7 is taken, the feed above the feeding plate 10 will fall evenly, which can distribute the feed more evenly. This allows multiple laying hens inside the main body 1 of the cage to eat evenly, which is beneficial to the growth of the laying hens.

[0038] like Figure 8 As shown, a placement cavity is provided between the main body 1 of the breeding cage and the base 2, and a tray 16 is detachably connected to the inner side of the placement cavity;

[0039] It should be noted that by placing a tray 16 between the main body 1 of the breeding cage and the base 2, the excrement of the laying hens can be collected, making it convenient for unified collection and treatment.

[0040] like Figure 5 , Figure 7 As shown, the food distribution board 10 is arranged in an inverted V-shape, and multiple feeding holes 11 are evenly arranged on the food distribution board 10.

[0041] It should be noted that during the pecking process of the laying hens, as the feed on the bottom plate 7 is consumed, the feed above the feeding plate 10 will fall evenly, resulting in more even feeding.

[0042] like Figure 5 As shown, the mounting ear 12 has an assembly hole on its surface, and a bolt 13 extending to the inside of the breeding cage body 1 is installed at the assembly hole. A washer 14 that abuts against the inner wall of the breeding cage body 1 is installed at the end of the bolt 13, and the diameter of the washer 14 is larger than the mesh spacing of the breeding cage body 1. A locking nut 15 that fits tightly against the mounting ear 12 is screwed to the end of the bolt 13.

[0043] It should be noted that the mounting ear 12 is passed through the inside of the breeding cage body 1 by the bolt 13, and the washer 14 is installed on the bolt 13. Finally, the locking nut 15 is installed on the bolt 13. The mounting ear 12 is tightly fitted to the breeding cage body 1 with the washer 14, which facilitates the installation of the feed box 5.

[0044] like Figure 5 As shown, the mounting ear 12, food tray 10, guide plate 9, baffle 8, bottom plate 7 and food box 5 are integrally formed, and the food box 5 is made of transparent acrylic material.

[0045] It should be noted that this allows for easy observation of the feed inside the feed box 5, and that the feed needs to be added promptly when it decreases.

[0046] In use: First, align the feeding opening 6 on the feed box 5, which forms part of the feeding device, with the feeding opening 4 on the main body of the breeding cage 1. Then, fix the feed box 5 to the outside of the main body of the breeding cage 1. Pour the feed for laying hens into the feed box 5 through the top opening. Use the guide plate 9 to guide the feed, and the feeding plate 10 to guide the feed, so that the feed falls evenly onto the bottom plate 7 through the feed hole 11. The area above the feeding plate 10 can be used to store feed. Open the cage door 3 and put multiple laying hens into the inside of the main body of the breeding cage 1, and then close the cage door 3. The baffle 8 can be used to intercept feed to prevent spillage. As the laying hens peck at the feed, the feed on the bottom plate 7 is taken, and the feed above the feeding plate 10 will fall evenly, resulting in more even feeding.

[0047] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model; however, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
