Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of egg-laying hen farming technology, specifically an automated egg-laying hen farming device. Background Technology

[0002] Egg-laying hen farming refers to an agricultural production activity in which people raise chickens to obtain eggs. Commonly used breeds in egg-laying hen farming include egg-laying chickens and golden egg-laying chickens, which are breeds specifically designed for egg production. Egg-laying hen farming requires providing suitable feed, water, temperature, and environmental conditions to ensure the growth, development, and egg production capacity of the chickens.

[0003] The existing publication CN221264826U discloses a protective structure for laying hen cages, including two cage frames and two cage meshes, with the cage meshes located within the inner cavity of the cage frames. By incorporating a limiting device, limiting block, stabilizing hole, spring, and limiting groove, this design addresses the problem that existing laying hen cages, used as auxiliary equipment for confining laying hens, are often stacked to save space due to the large number of hens being raised. These existing cages are typically mesh-like folding cages, which are prone to collapse when stacked, posing a safety threat to the hens. Furthermore, the existing cages lack components for treating excrement; if excrement accumulates in the cage or falls into the bottom cage, it can easily expose the hens to enteritis, coccidiosis, and other diseases. The lack of components in existing laying hen cages provides health and safety protection for the hens.

[0004] In the current egg-laying hen farming industry, the application of automated egg-laying hen farming technology still has certain limitations. As a long-term production activity, the main goal of egg-laying hen farming is to produce eggs efficiently. To achieve this goal, egg-laying hens need to be properly isolated from broilers and other laying hens during the egg-laying period to avoid unnecessary interference and ensure that the hens can lay eggs smoothly. However, the existing egg-laying hen farming equipment on the market is insufficient in achieving this isolation, which has a certain negative impact on the egg-laying hen production environment. In addition, the automation level of egg-laying hen farming equipment is not ideal, which limits the ability of farmers to accurately control the internal environment of the equipment. The key links of temperature regulation and ventilation are not easy to control. Due to the lack of effective automated control, farmers are insufficient in monitoring the health status of egg-laying hens and improving the egg-laying hen production environment, which has an adverse impact on the production efficiency of egg-laying hens and the quality of eggs.

[0005] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided an automated egg-laying hen farming device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automated egg-laying hen breeding equipment to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the existing egg-laying hen breeding equipment is not conducive to the small-cage and automated breeding of egg-laying hens.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] An automated egg-laying hen farming device includes: a breeding cage, corner brackets fitted at the ends of the cage, side panels installed on both the left and right sides of the cage, and exhaust fans for air intake and exhaust installed on the surface of the side panels, a door panel rotatably installed on the front of the cage, a rear panel installed on the back of the cage, a transparent panel installed on the top of the cage, and a monitoring camera installed above the transparent panel, a solar panel mounted on one side of the monitoring camera via a bracket, a thermostat installed at the bottom of the cage, and a control panel installed on one side of the thermostat, and temperature-controlled heating lamps installed at the four corners of the inner wall of the cage.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: the upper two corners of the rear plate are fixedly connected to a connector, and a rotating rod is rotatably installed inside the connector.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: the two ends of the rotating rod are elastically connected with spring beads by springs, and the end surface of the connector is fixedly provided with a locking hole.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the door panel is rotatably connected to the breeding cage via hinges, and the side panels, door panel, transparent panel, and rear panel are all installed around the breeding cage.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model: a pad is fitted inside the breeding cage, and a sewage box is installed at the bottom of the pad.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, the breeding cage is fixedly connected at the four corners by corner brackets.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. The breeding cage frame in this design is meticulously crafted from hollow aluminum alloy profiles, resulting in a stable and lightweight structure. To ensure the frame's sturdiness, corner brackets are used as connectors, precisely fixing the four corners of the cage. The cage's perimeter features detachable side panels, door panels, and a rear panel, all securely fastened to the frame with screws. This ensures structural stability and facilitates future maintenance and cleaning. A transparent panel is strategically placed at the top of the cage, enhancing the breeding environment and allowing for real-time monitoring of the equipment's interior by an overhead surveillance camera, ensuring safety. In addition to ensuring transparency and safety in the breeding process, the breeding cages are equipped with thermostats and PLC control panels. These intelligent devices can precisely regulate and control the temperature and humidity inside the cages, providing an ideal growth environment for the laying hens. Temperature-controlled lamps are installed inside the cages, which not only provide necessary illumination but also adjust the temperature as needed to further optimize the breeding environment. To ensure air circulation and freshness inside the cages, exhaust fans are installed on the side panels. These fans can effectively expel stale air and introduce fresh air, thereby achieving continuous regulation and optimization of the internal environment of the breeding cages.

[0016] 2. By using cages, laying hens can be effectively isolated and separated, preventing cannibalism that often severely impacts egg production. Furthermore, using cages for smaller, automated farming not only allows farmers to monitor the hens' health in real time but also significantly improves the production environment. To further enhance efficiency, a connecting joint is designed to easily connect two sets of cages, facilitating the placement of multiple cages in a compact farming area. When separate management is needed, farmers simply rotate the rotating rod to disengage the umbrella beads from the locking holes, easily separating adjacent cages and enabling flexible farming layouts.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model embodiment provides an automated egg-laying hen breeding equipment, including: a breeding cage 2, a pad 15 is fitted inside the breeding cage 2, and a wastewater box 17 is installed at the bottom of the pad 15. The breeding cage 2 is fixedly connected at the four corners by corner brackets 1.

[0024] The breeding cage 2 adopts a hollow aluminum alloy frame structure. This structure is not only sturdy and durable, but also uses corner brackets 1 for precise assembly and connection at the four corners during the assembly process, thus constructing the breeding cage 2 into a stable three-dimensional frame structure. To further enhance the stability of the structure, the side panels 3, door panels 5, transparent panels 12, and rear panels 9 are all fixed and installed with screws. In addition, the surface of the pad 15 is specially designed with holes, which can effectively prevent the accumulation of dirt. When dirt is generated, it will fall into the sewage box 17 below through these holes, making it easy to collect and clean, thereby maintaining the cleanliness and hygiene of the breeding environment.

[0025] Angle bracket 1 is fitted into the end of the breeding cage 2. Side plates 3 are installed on both the left and right sides of the breeding cage 2.

A rear plate 9 is installed on the back of the breeding cage 2. A connector 10 is fixedly connected to the upper two corners of the rear plate 9. A rotating rod 11 is rotatably installed inside the connector 10. Spring umbrella beads 19 are elastically connected to both ends of the rotating rod 11 through springs. A locking hole 18 is fixedly opened on the end surface of the connector 10.

[0026] By setting the connector 10 and cooperating efficiently with the rotating rod 11, when the rotating rod 11 rotates inside the connector 10, the spring bead 19 and the locking hole 18 will accurately complete the docking and misalignment, thereby ensuring that two adjacent sets of breeding cages 2 can be connected smoothly. This not only improves the connection speed but also enhances the connection stability, providing farmers with a fast and reliable method for connecting breeding cages 2, optimizing breeding space, and facilitating the placement of multiple sets of breeding cages 2 together.

[0027] A transparent panel 12 is installed on the top of the breeding cage 2, and a monitoring camera 13 is installed above the transparent panel 12. A solar panel 14 is installed on one side of the monitoring camera 13 via a bracket. A thermostat 7 is installed at the bottom of the breeding cage 2, and a control panel 8 is installed on one side of the thermostat 7.

The side panels 3 and door panel 5 are cleverly placed around the breeding cage 2, working together to provide enclosure and isolation, ensuring the enclosure and safety of the breeding environment. A transparent panel is installed on the top of the breeding cage 2. This design not only ensures the light transmission of the internal environment but also provides convenience for monitoring equipment. A monitoring camera 13 is installed on the transparent panel 12, allowing real-time observation of the situation inside the breeding cage 2 and ensuring continuous monitoring of the laying hens. In addition, the thermostat 7, temperature-controlled heating lamp 16, and exhaust fan 4 provide a suitable temperature and well-ventilated growing environment for the laying hens, ensuring their healthy growth and high egg production rate. At the same time, the monitoring camera 13 allows farmers to observe the situation inside the breeding cage 2 in real time. A solar panel 14 is also installed on the transparent panel 12, which can effectively absorb solar energy and convert it into electrical energy to power the monitoring equipment and other electronic equipment inside the breeding cage 2, thereby greatly improving the energy efficiency of the entire system.

[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0029] When using this utility model, firstly, the breeding cage 2 is precisely assembled with the side panel 3, door panel 5, transparent panel 12, and rear panel 9 using corner brackets 1 and screws to form a stable and enclosed three-dimensional breeding space. During the breeding process, the monitoring camera 13 observes the inside of the breeding cage 2 in real time through the transparent panel 12 to ensure the health of the laying hens. The solar panel 14 is responsible for absorbing solar energy and converting it into electrical energy to power the monitoring equipment and other electronic equipment, improving the energy efficiency of the equipment. At the same time, the thermostat 7 adjusts the temperature of the temperature-controlled heating lamp 16 inside the breeding cage 2 through the control panel 8 to ensure that the laying hens are in a suitable growth environment. When it is necessary to clean the breeding cage 2, simply open the door panel 5 and take out the wastewater box 17 under the pad 15 for cleaning. When effectively ventilating the inside of the breeding cage 2, exhaust fans 4 are used to ensure smooth and efficient air circulation. Specifically, two sets of exhaust fans 4 are carefully installed on the side panel 3 of the breeding cage 2. One set is responsible for introducing fresh air into the cage, while the other set is responsible for expelling the stale air from the cage. This design not only helps to... Maintaining air quality in the breeding environment and effectively controlling temperature provide a healthier and more comfortable growth environment for the farmed animals, greatly improving the efficiency and convenience of egg-laying hen farming. Furthermore, when connecting the breeding cages 2, simply bring the connector 10 on the back plate 9 of one set of breeding cages 2 close to the connector 10 on the back plate 9 of the other set of breeding cages 2, insert both ends of the rotating rod 11 into the two sets of connectors 10 respectively, and then rotate the rotating rod 11 to align the spring bead 19 with the locking hole 18, thus achieving a quick connection of the breeding cages 2. The operation is simple and convenient, greatly saving farmers' time and effort. In addition, the design of the breeding cages 2 fully considers the growth needs of egg-laying hens. Through devices such as the thermostat 7, temperature-controlled heating lamp 16, and exhaust fan 4, a suitable temperature and well-ventilated growth environment is provided for the egg-laying hens, ensuring their healthy growth and high egg production rate. At the same time, the monitoring camera 13 allows farmers to observe the situation inside the breeding cages 2 in real time, promptly identify and address problems, further improving the efficiency and safety of farming.
