Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of livestock feeding cage technology, and in particular relates to an auxiliary structure for livestock feeding cages. Background Technology
[0002] Animal husbandry refers to the artificial raising, breeding, and domestication of animals, such as cattle, sheep, pigs, and chickens. Livestock cages are equipment used in animal husbandry, primarily for the penning and management of livestock and poultry. These cages typically have specific designs and functions. The existing technology has the following problems: The bottom of the livestock cage's inner cavity has a waste collection box for collecting animal excrement. Because the bottom of the cage has a mesh structure, excrement usually falls through the bottom mesh into the waste collection box. Cleaning typically only involves removing the waste collection box for washing; however, excrement also adheres to the surface of the bottom mesh. Cleaning this requires disassembling the cage, which is inconvenient. If it is not disassembled, residue may remain after cleaning, leading to bacterial growth over time, which is detrimental to animal husbandry. However, existing livestock cages lack components for more convenient cleaning of animal excrement. Therefore, an auxiliary structure for livestock cages is proposed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the problems of existing technologies, this utility model provides an auxiliary structure for livestock feeding cages, which makes it easier to clean the excrement produced by the animals. It solves the problem that existing livestock feeding cages have a waste collection box at the bottom of the inner cavity to collect excrement. Because the bottom of the cage has a mesh structure, excrement usually falls into the waste collection box through the bottom frame mesh. During cleaning, only the waste collection box is usually removed for washing. However, excrement also adheres to the surface of the bottom frame mesh. Cleaning this requires disassembling the feeding cage, which is inconvenient. If it is not disassembled, residue may remain after cleaning, leading to bacterial growth over time, which is detrimental to feeding. However, existing livestock feeding cages lack a component that facilitates easier cleaning of animal excrement.
[0004] This utility model is implemented as follows: an auxiliary structure for a livestock feeding cage includes a feeding cage and a waste box. The waste box is movably connected to the inner cavity of the feeding cage. A bottom frame mesh is movably connected to the inner cavity of the waste box via a rotating shaft. Positioning shells are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the feeding cage. Positioning shells that cooperate with the positioning shells are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the waste box. The inner cavity of the positioning shell is in contact with the surface of the positioning shell. A positioning device is provided in the inner cavity of the positioning shell.
[0005] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the positioning device includes two right-angled positioning shells. Opposite sides of the two right-angled positioning shells penetrate the shells and extend to the outer side of their inner cavities. Springs are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the two right-angled positioning shells, and opposite sides of the springs are fixedly connected to the inner cavities of the positioning shells. Positioning rods are movably connected to the inner cavities of the right-angled positioning shells, and opposite sides of the two positioning rods are fixedly connected to the inner cavities of the positioning shells. By providing this positioning device, when the waste box and the bottom frame mesh move into the inner cavity of the feeding cage, the positioning device restricts the position of the waste box and the bottom frame mesh.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a positioning slider is fixedly connected to the surface of the positioning square rod, and a positioning sliding hole is provided on the surface of the positioning right-angle shell for use with the positioning slider. The surface of the positioning slider is movably connected to the inner cavity of the positioning sliding hole. By setting the positioning slider and the positioning sliding hole, when the positioning right-angle shell moves, it will drive the positioning sliding hole to move along the surface of the positioning slider. The use of the positioning sliding hole and the positioning slider has a limiting effect on the movement position of the positioning right-angle shell.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a movable column is fixedly connected to the surface of the positioning right-angle shell, and a pressing movable frame that works in conjunction with the movable column is movably connected to the inner cavity of the positioning shell. The inner cavity of the pressing movable frame is in contact with the surface of the movable column. By setting the movable column and the pressing movable frame, when the pressing movable frame moves, it can generate a pressing force on the movable column. The two movable columns subjected to the pressing force can drive the positioning right-angle shell to move.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner cavity of the positioning shell is fixedly connected to a positioning block that cooperates with the extrusion moving frame. The surface of the positioning block is movably connected to the inner cavity of the extrusion moving frame. By setting the positioning block, the positioning block restricts the movement position of the extrusion moving frame when it moves.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a rotating column is fixedly connected to the surface of the extrusion moving frame, and a rotating control ring that works with the rotating column is movably connected to the inner cavity of the positioning shell via a rotating shaft. The inner cavity of the rotating control ring is movably connected to the surface of the rotating column, and the side of the rotating control ring away from the feeding cage passes through the positioning shell and extends to the outside of the inner cavity of the positioning shell. By setting the rotating column and the rotating control ring, when the rotating control ring rotates, it can generate an extrusion force on the rotating column, and the rotating column subjected to the extrusion force can drive the extrusion moving frame to move.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the top and bottom of the inner cavity of the positioning shell are provided with positioning right-angle grooves that cooperate with the positioning right-angle shell. The surface of the positioning right-angle shell contacts the inner cavity of the positioning right-angle groove. By setting the positioning right-angle groove, when the positioning shell moves into the inner cavity of the positioning shell, the rotation control ring is released, and the restoring force generated by the spring returning to its shape will drive the positioning right-angle shell to be stuck into the inner cavity of the positioning right-angle groove. The cooperation between the positioning right-angle shell and the positioning right-angle groove has a limiting effect on the position of the positioning shell.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] 1. This utility model solves the problem of existing livestock cages having a waste box at the bottom of the inner cavity for collecting animal excrement. Because the bottom of the cage has a mesh structure, the excrement usually falls into the waste box through the bottom frame mesh. During cleaning, only the waste box is usually removed for washing. However, excrement also sticks to the surface of the bottom frame mesh. If it is cleaned, the cage needs to be disassembled, which is very inconvenient. If it is not disassembled, there will be residue after cleaning. Long-term accumulation can easily breed bacteria, which is not good for feeding. However, existing livestock cages do not have a component for more convenient cleaning of animal excrement.
[0013] 2. This utility model, by setting a positioning device, will cause the two positioning right-angle shells to move closer to each other along the surface of the positioning square rod when the moving column moves. When the positioning right-angle shells move, they will cause the positioning sliding hole to move along the surface of the positioning slider. At the same time, the force generated when the positioning right-angle shells move will cause the spring to undergo elastic deformation. The force generated when the spring returns to its shape will cause the positioning right-angle shells to move back to their original positions. The positioning device has a limiting effect on the position of the waste box and the bottom frame mesh. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To further understand the invention content, features and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0020] The structure of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, an auxiliary structure for a livestock feeding cage provided by this utility model embodiment includes a feeding cage 1 and a waste box 2. The waste box 2 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the feeding cage 1. The inner cavity of the waste box 2 is movably connected to a bottom frame mesh 3 via a rotating shaft. Positioning shells 4 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the feeding cage 1. Positioning shells 5 that cooperate with the positioning shells 5 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the waste box 2. The inner cavity of the positioning shell 5 is in contact with the surface of the positioning shell 4. A positioning device 6 is provided in the inner cavity of the positioning shell 4.
[0022] refer to Figure 4 The positioning device 6 includes two positioning right-angle shells 601. The opposite sides of the two positioning right-angle shells 601 penetrate through the positioning right-angle shells 601 and extend to the outside of the inner cavity of the positioning right-angle shells 601. The opposite sides of the two positioning right-angle shells 601 are fixedly connected to springs 602. The opposite sides of the two springs 602 are fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the positioning shell 4. The inner cavity of the positioning right-angle shells 601 is movably connected to positioning square rods 603. The opposite sides of the two positioning square rods 603 are fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the positioning shell 4.
[0023] The above solution is adopted: by setting up a positioning device 6, when both the waste box 2 and the bottom frame mesh 3 move into the inner cavity of the feeding cage 1, the positioning device 6 has a restrictive effect on the position of the waste box 2 and the bottom frame mesh 3.
[0024] refer to Figure 4 The positioning square rod 603 is fixedly connected to the positioning slider 7, and the positioning right angle shell 601 is provided with a positioning sliding hole 8 that cooperates with the positioning slider 7. The surface of the positioning slider 7 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the positioning sliding hole 8.
[0025] The above solution is adopted: by setting the positioning slider 7 and the positioning sliding hole 8, when the positioning right angle shell 601 moves, it will drive the positioning sliding hole 8 to move along the surface of the positioning slider 7. The cooperation between the positioning sliding hole 8 and the positioning slider 7 has a limiting effect on the movement position of the positioning right angle shell 601.
[0026] refer to Figure 4 A movable column 9 is fixedly connected to the surface of the positioning right-angle shell 601, and a pressing movable frame 10 that cooperates with the movable column 9 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the positioning shell 4. The inner cavity of the pressing movable frame 10 is in contact with the surface of the movable column 9.
[0027] Using the above scheme: by setting the moving column 9 and the squeezing moving frame 10, when the squeezing moving frame 10 moves, it can generate squeezing force on the moving column 9. The two moving columns 9 subjected to squeezing force can drive the positioning right angle shell 601 to move.
[0028] refer to Figure 4 The inner cavity of the positioning shell 4 is fixedly connected to a positioning block 11 that works in conjunction with the extrusion moving frame 10. The surface of the positioning block 11 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the extrusion moving frame 10.
[0029] The above solution is adopted: by setting the positioning block 11, the positioning block 11 restricts the movement position of the squeezing moving frame 10 when the squeezing moving frame 10 moves.
[0030] refer to Figure 4 A rotating column 12 is fixedly connected to the surface of the compression moving frame 10. The inner cavity of the positioning shell 4 is movably connected to a rotating control ring 13 that works with the rotating column 12 via a rotating shaft. The inner cavity of the rotating control ring 13 is movably connected to the surface of the rotating column 12. The side of the rotating control ring 13 away from the feeding cage 1 passes through the positioning shell 4 and extends to the outside of the inner cavity of the positioning shell 4.
[0031] The above scheme is adopted: by setting a rotating column 12 and a rotating control ring 13, when the rotating control ring 13 rotates, it can generate a squeezing force on the rotating column 12, and the rotating column 12 subjected to the squeezing force can drive the squeezing moving frame 10 to move.
[0032] refer to Figure 2 The top and bottom of the inner cavity of the positioning housing 5 are provided with positioning right angle grooves 14 that cooperate with the positioning right angle housing 601, and the surface of the positioning right angle housing 601 contacts the inner cavity of the positioning right angle groove 14.
[0033] The above solution is adopted: by setting the positioning right angle groove 14, when the positioning shell 4 moves into the inner cavity of the positioning shell 5, the rotation control ring 13 is released, and the restoring force generated by the spring 602 returning to its shape will drive the positioning right angle shell 601 to be inserted into the inner cavity of the positioning right angle groove 14. The cooperation between the positioning right angle shell 601 and the positioning right angle groove 14 has a limiting effect on the position of the positioning shell 4.
[0034] The working principle of this utility model:
[0035] In use, when the livestock feeding cage 1 needs to more easily clean the excrement produced by the animals, the user first rotates the rotating control ring 13, causing it to rotate via the shaft. As the rotating control ring 13 rotates, it moves the rotating column 12 forward. This movement of the rotating column 12 causes the pressing moving frame 10 to move along the surface of the positioning block 11. The pressing moving frame 10 exerts a pressing force on the two moving columns 9, causing them to move closer together. This movement of the moving columns 9 then causes the two positioning right-angle shells 601 to move along the surface of the positioning square rod 603, also moving closer together. Finally, the movement of the positioning right-angle shells 601 causes the positioning sliding hole 8 to move along the positioning sliding hole. The surface of block 7 moves, and the force generated by the movement of the positioning right-angle shell 601 causes the spring 602 to undergo elastic deformation. When the positioning right-angle shell 601 moves completely into the inner cavity of the positioning shell 4 and disengages from the inner cavity of the positioning right-angle groove 14, the waste box 2 is pulled forward. When the waste box 2 moves, it will drive the positioning shell 4 and the bottom frame mesh 3 to move simultaneously. When the waste box 2 and the bottom frame mesh 3 completely disengage from the inner cavity of the feeding cage 1, the rotation control ring 13 is released. The force generated by the spring 602 restoring its shape will drive the positioning right-angle shell 601 to move back to its original position. Then, the bottom frame mesh 3 can be flipped backward through the pivot, so that both the waste box 2 and the bottom frame mesh 3 are in a state that can be easily cleaned. At this time, the livestock feeding cage 1 can more easily clean the excrement produced by the animals.
[0036] In summary, the auxiliary structure of this livestock cage, through the coordinated use of positioning device 6, positioning right-angle shell 601, spring 602, positioning square rod 603, and positioning right-angle groove 14, solves the problem of existing livestock cages having a waste box at the bottom of the inner cavity for collecting animal excrement. Because the bottom of the cage has a mesh structure, excrement usually falls into the waste box through the bottom frame mesh. During cleaning, only the waste box is usually removed for washing. However, excrement also adheres to the surface of the bottom frame mesh. Cleaning requires disassembling the cage, which is inconvenient. If it is not disassembled, residue may remain after cleaning, leading to bacterial growth over time, which is detrimental to animal husbandry. However, existing livestock cages lack components for more convenient cleaning of animal excrement.
