Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock and poultry transportation technology, and in particular to a livestock and poultry breeding and transportation device. Background Technology

[0002] Live animal transport is a critical link in the livestock industry chain where stress reactions are highly prevalent. Inside enclosed transport vehicles, the accumulation of heat and humidity is caused by a combination of factors: animal respiration and metabolism (e.g., pigs can generate 100-150 W / head of heat), excrement fermentation (releasing harmful gases such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide), and fluctuations in external environmental temperature (especially in summer when the internal temperature of the transport vehicle can exceed 40°C). Studies have shown that when the temperature and humidity index (THI) inside the transport vehicle exceeds 28, the risk of heat stress in livestock and poultry increases significantly, manifested as increased respiratory rate (e.g., cattle increase from 30 breaths / minute to 80 breaths / minute), decreased feed intake (reduced by 30%-50% after 12 hours of transport), and in severe cases, organ failure or even mass mortality (transport loss rate can reach 2%-5%).

[0003] Current technology often involves directly piling a large number of transport cages in a truck bed. Although the livestock and poultry on the outside can get good ventilation, the transport cages at the bottom and center still have difficulty getting ventilation. As a result, the livestock and poultry in the cages will still accumulate heat, causing the temperature to be significantly higher than that on the outside, which can easily lead to the death of the livestock and poultry.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0027] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Reference Figures 1-5 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a livestock and poultry breeding and transportation device, including a transportation cage 100 and a ventilation component 200 disposed on the transportation cage 100. The ventilation component 200 includes an installation assembly 201 connected to the transportation cage 100 and a ventilation component 202 disposed on the installation assembly 201. The ventilation component 202 includes a fixing rod 202a fixed on the installation assembly 201, a fan 202b installed on the fixing rod 202a, and an air guide pipe 202c provided at the exhaust end of the fan 202b. The axis of the air guide pipe 202c is inclined downward.

[0030] Specifically, the transport cage 100 has a cage body 101, which is used to transport animals. The cage body 101 is breathable, and the cage bodies 101 can be stacked together in the carriage. However, when a large number of cage bodies 101 are stacked, the cage bodies 101 at the bottom and center will still accumulate a lot of heat, and the ventilation efficiency is extremely low, causing the internal temperature to rise. Therefore, a ventilation component 202 is needed to actively circulate air and accelerate heat dissipation. The airflow is accelerated by a fan 202b, and the air is blown downwards through a duct 202c, so that it can blow on the animal, reduce the animal's body temperature inside the transport cage 100, and blow away the hot air.

[0031] Furthermore, the mounting assembly 201 includes a fixing plate 201a disposed on the upper surface of the cage 101, a mounting plate 201b mounted on the fixing plate 201a, and a mounting cylinder 201c fixedly connected to the lower surface of the mounting plate 201b. The mounting cylinder 201c is used to install the ventilation assembly 202, and the fixing plate 201a is used to connect and fix the mounting plate 201b. The connection can be bolted, snap-fit, or any other method that can fix the mounting plate 201b.

[0032] Furthermore, the mounting cylinder 201c is semi-circular, with an air duct 201d in the center and mounting cavities 201e on both sides of the air duct 201d. The ventilation component 202 is installed inside the air duct 201d. The mounting cylinder 201c is a semi-circular hollow cylinder, while the air duct 201d is a cylindrical hollow cylinder. The air duct 201d is located at the center of the mounting cylinder 201c, and the outer wall of the air duct 201d is connected to the inner wall of the mounting cylinder 201c. At this time, the space left on both sides of the mounting cylinder 201c is the mounting cavity 201e, and the two mounting cavities 201e are symmetrical about the air duct 201d.

[0033] Furthermore, the fixing rod 202a is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air duct 201d, the fan 202b is coaxially installed with the air duct 201d, and the air guide duct 202c is adapted to the air duct 201d. The air duct 201d is parallel to the upper surface of the cage 101. The fan 202b is fixedly installed inside the air duct 201d by the fixing rod 202a. The fan blades of the fan 202b are in contact with the inner wall of the air duct 201d to maximize the efficiency of air intake, blowing air from the air duct 201d to the air guide duct 202c, and the air guide duct 202c then guides the air downward.

[0034] Operation process: During installation, the ventilation component 200 is installed on the fixing plate 201a of the transport cage 100 via the mounting plate 201b. It can be fixed by bolts and nuts or by clips, thus installing the ventilation component 200 as a whole on the top of the transport cage 100. During use, the livestock and poultry are placed in the transport cage 100, and multiple transport cages 100 are stacked in the truck bed. During transportation, the fan 202b in the air duct 201d is activated by the electronic control 201f. The fan 202b actively draws air into the air duct 201d, and then into the air guide pipe 202c through the channel. The air guide pipe 202c discharges the air downwards, thereby actively improving the air circulation efficiency and blowing the air onto the livestock and poultry, removing more heat and preventing the livestock and poultry from overheating and getting sick.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] Reference Figure 5 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, an electrical control component 201f is installed in the mounting cavity 201e. The electrical control component 201f includes, but is not limited to, a battery and a PCB. A connector 201g is provided on the upper surface of the mounting plate 201b. The connector 201g is connected and fixed to the fixing plate 201a. Since the mounting cavity 201e needs to install the electrical control component 201f, at least one end of the mounting cavity 201e can be opened. A plug is provided at the opened end. The plug can be engaged with the mounting cavity 201e by snap-fit, interference fit, etc., as long as the mounting cavity 201e can be closed after the plug is installed. The electrical control component 201f is electrically connected to the fan 202b and can supply power to the fan 202b and control the fan 202b to switch on and off.

[0037] Furthermore, a wireless control module and a temperature monitoring module can be set on the electrical control unit 201f to realize basic automatic control and remote control functions.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 Specifically, the transport cage 100 includes a cage body 101, with a cage door 102 movably connected to one surface of the cage body 101. The cage body 101 has sliding limiters 103 on both sides of the cage door 102. The cage door 102 can be opened and closed to prevent livestock from escaping. The sliding limiters 103 are used to limit the range of motion of the cage door 102. The sliding limiters 103 can be baffles, chutes, or other structures that do not affect the raising and lowering of the cage door 102. At the same time, the cage door 102 can also be installed on the transport cage 100 by hinges, latches, etc. In this case, the sliding limiters 103 can be buckles, etc.

[0039] The rest of the structure is the same as in Example 1.

[0040] Operation process: By installing electrical control 201f in the mounting cavities 201e on both sides of the mounting cylinder 201c, the electrical control 201f is used to supply power to the fan 202b during transportation. By adding temperature sensors or wireless network modules, the fan 202b can be automatically controlled to start and stop and rotate according to the temperature inside the transport cage 100. It can also be remotely controlled. Even without adding other functional modules, the power supply can be maintained and the fan 202b can be manually controlled to start and stop.

[0041] Example 3

[0042] Reference Figure 2 - Figure 5 This is the third embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the above embodiments, the ventilation component 200 also includes a filter assembly 203, which is disposed at the air inlet end of the air duct 201d.

[0043] Specifically, the filter assembly 203 is used to block dirt at the air inlet. Since the livestock and poultry in the transport cage 100 stacked above will excrete hair and other substances during transportation, the filter assembly 203 is set to block hair, excrement and dust in order to protect the fan 202b.

[0044] Furthermore, the filter assembly 203 includes an installation partition 203a disposed on the inner wall of the air duct 201d, a filter cartridge 203b installed on the inner wall of the air duct 201d, and a handle 203c provided on the top of the filter cartridge 203b. The installation partition 203a is used to block the installation position of the filter assembly 203 and prevent the filter assembly 203 from obstructing the fan 202b. The filter cartridge 203b is installed in the air duct 201d and completely covers the air duct 201d. The filter cartridge 203b is used to install various filter media such as filter screens, filter membranes and filter cotton. The handle 203c is located at the end of the filter cartridge 203b facing outward from the air duct 201d and is used for installing and removing the filter cartridge 203b.

[0045] Mounting baffle 203a is located in front of fan 202b. Mounting baffle 203a is a hollow annular plate. The inner wall of air duct 201d is threaded, and the outer wall of filter cartridge 203b is threaded accordingly. The hollow structure of mounting baffle 203a is used to maintain air circulation. By opening threads on air duct 201d and filter cartridge 203b, filter cartridge 203b can be easily installed and removed, making it convenient to remove filter cartridge 203b for cleaning when not in use.

[0046] The filter cartridge 203b is equipped with filter media and a filter screen for filtering out dirt.

[0047] The rest of the structure is the same as in Example 2.

[0048] Operating procedure: Before use, align the filter cartridge 203b with the air duct 201d. Rotate the filter cartridge 203b using the handle 203c to install it inside the air duct 201d until the top of the filter cartridge 203b is firmly against the installation partition 203a. Installation is then complete. During use, the fan 202b is activated, drawing outside air into the air duct 201d. The air first enters the filter cartridge 203b for filtration, and then is blown out by the fan 202b into the air duct 202c. This process traps dirt in the filter cartridge 203b, protecting the fan 202b and extending its service life.

[0049] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
