Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of poultry farming technology, specifically to a poultry farming cage. Background Technology

[0002] Poultry farming typically uses cages for raising poultry, which is more convenient. Poultry are placed in cages for feeding until they grow to adulthood.

[0003] For example, a poultry cage disclosed in patent CN222170901U can automatically feed poultry when the feed box is low. The top plate and sliding rod move upwards under spring pressure, causing the connecting frame to move upwards so that the feeding trough and feeding box align, allowing feed to fall into the feeding box. Once the feed box reaches a certain weight, the connecting frame moves the sliding rod and top plate downwards to compress the spring, causing the feeding trough and feeding box to align, thus achieving automatic feeding. However, in actual use, poultry enter and exit the cage through the opening and closing of the door. The door lacks a self-locking mechanism, and its opening and closing requires operator intervention. If the door is not closed due to operator error, poultry can easily escape, affecting the cage's usability. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a breeding cage to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] The upper end of the cage door is hinged to the front side of the cage body. The self-locking component is located at the lower end of the cage door. The self-locking component includes a positioning hole on the cage body and a telescopic component that can be extended and retracted on the cage door. A guide surface is provided at the positioning hole, and a counterweight is provided on the cage door to allow the telescopic component to be extended and retracted along the guide surface and inserted into the positioning hole.

[0008] The bottom of the cage is provided with support legs, and there is a reinforcing plate between the opposite support legs. There are grooves on the side walls opposite the reinforcing plates along their extension direction. There is a slidable feces collection box between the grooves. There are positioning parts on the support legs for positioning the feces collection box.

[0009] Furthermore, a mounting cavity is provided at one end of the lower part of the cage door, and a plug ring is threadedly installed at the opening of the mounting cavity;

[0010] The telescopic component includes a sliding column that is installed in the mounting cavity via a first spring. The sliding column is provided with a positioning rod, and the first spring is used to push the positioning rod through the plug ring to extend the component.

[0011] Furthermore, the lower end of the cage door has a sliding groove on the side wall that connects to the mounting cavity along the extension direction of the mounting cavity, and a lever extending out of the sliding groove is provided on the sliding column.

[0012] Furthermore, the positioning element includes a first hand-tightening bolt threaded onto the support leg, the first hand-tightening bolt passing through the support leg to block the feces collection box.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] To further understand the content of this utility model, a detailed description of this utility model will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments are merely illustrative of this utility model and are not intended to limit it.

[0028] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-6 This embodiment will be described in further detail.

[0029] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a breeding cage in this embodiment includes a cage body 100, and a cage door 110 is hinged to the front side of the cage body 100. The cage door 110 is fixed to the cage body 100 by a self-locking component.

[0030] The upper end of the cage door 110 is hinged to the front side of the cage body 100. The self-locking component is located at the lower end of the cage door 110. The self-locking component includes a positioning hole 201 on the cage body 100 and a telescopic member that can be telescopically installed on the cage door 110. A guide surface 202 is provided at the positioning hole 201. The cage door 110 is provided with a counterweight block 301 for telescopically inserting the telescopic member into the positioning hole 201 along the guide surface 202.

[0031] The bottom of the cage 100 is provided with support legs 101, and a reinforcing plate 102 is provided between the opposite support legs 101. The side wall opposite the reinforcing plate 102 is provided with a sliding groove 211 along its extension direction. A slidable fecal collection box 120 is provided between the sliding grooves 211. The support legs 101 are provided with positioning components for positioning the fecal collection box 120.

[0032] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the front side of the cage body 100 forms a notch for the installation of the cage door 110. The upper end of the notch is provided with mounting holes on the opposite side wall. The upper end of the cage door 110 is provided with a mounting shaft 302 that extends into the corresponding mounting hole. Thus, the upper end of the cage door 110 is preferably hinged on the front side of the cage body 100.

[0033] In actual use, the counterweight 301 provides counterweight to the cage door 110, ensuring that the cage door 110 remains vertically installed within the opening under gravity. The telescopic component, positioning hole 201, and guide surface 202 allow the cage door 110 to slide along the guide surface 202 as it rotates into the opening under the action of the counterweight 301, retracting into the cage door 110. When the cage door 110 is in a vertical position, the telescopic component resets, extending into the corresponding positioning hole 201, thus locking and fixing the cage door 110. This achieves self-locking of the cage door 110 at the front side of the cage body 100, preventing poultry from escaping due to operator error and the cage door not being fully closed.

[0034] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 4 As shown, the two side walls of the feces collection box 120 form sliding parts 401 that slide within the sliding groove 211, thereby enabling the feces collection box 120 to be pulled out and installed between the support legs 101.

[0035] Specifically, the slide 211 is open at one end, and the positioning member is set on the support leg 101 at the open end of the slide 211. Thus, the positioning member can position the fecal collection box 120 that is slidably installed in the slide 211, so as to prevent the fecal collection box 120 from sliding in the slide 211, which would prevent it from collecting feces effectively.

[0036] The positioning component includes a first hand-tightening bolt 410 threaded onto the support leg 101. The first hand-tightening bolt 410 passes through the support leg 101 to block the fecal collection box 120. By turning the first hand-tightening bolt 410, the fecal collection box 120 can be positioned and released. The operation is simple and convenient, and it is beneficial for practical use.

[0037] Combination Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a mounting cavity 311 is provided at one end of the lower end of the cage door 110, and a plugging ring 320 is threadedly installed at the opening of the mounting cavity 311.

[0038] The telescopic component includes a sliding post 340 disposed in the mounting cavity 311 via a first spring 330, and a positioning rod 341 disposed on the sliding post 340. The first spring 330 is used to push the positioning rod 341 through the plug ring 320 to extend out.

[0039] In this embodiment, the opening of the mounting cavity 311 is oriented toward the corresponding positioning hole 201, wherein the plug ring 320 is threadedly installed at the opening of the mounting cavity 311, which preferably realizes the assembly and disassembly of the telescopic component in the mounting cavity 311.

[0040] The arrangement of the first spring 330, the sliding column 340, and the positioning rod 341 ensures that, in the initial state, the first spring 330 pushes the sliding column 340 against the blocking ring 320, allowing the positioning rod 341 to extend through the blocking ring 320 and out of the mounting cavity 311. The extended end of the positioning rod 341 is hemispherical, allowing it to slide more smoothly on the guide surface 202. Under the action of the counterweight 301, the positioning rod 341 slides along the guide surface 202, causing the sliding column 340 to compress the first spring 330, thus retracting the positioning rod 341 into the mounting cavity 311. When the positioning rod 341 is aligned with the positioning hole 201, the compressed first spring 330 resets, pushing the positioning rod 341 into the positioning hole 201, thereby achieving self-locking of the cage door 110.

[0041] In actual use, in order to open the self-locking cage door 110, in this embodiment, the side wall at the lower end of the cage door 110 is provided with a moving groove 312 that communicates with the mounting cavity 311 along the extension direction of the mounting cavity 311. The sliding column 340 is provided with a lever 342 that extends out of the moving groove 312. The lever 342 is threadedly connected to the sliding column 340 to realize the assembly of the telescopic component in the mounting cavity 311. When the lever 342 is moved along the moving groove 312 to drive the positioning rod 341 to retract into the mounting cavity 311, the lock on the cage door 110 is released, and the operator can turn the cage door 110 to open it.

[0042] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the lower end of the support leg 101 is provided with a slot 601, and the top of the cage body 100 is provided with a locking block 103 that can be locked into the corresponding slot 601.

[0043] In this embodiment, by setting the slot 601 and the block 103, the breeding cages are stacked so that the block 103 can be inserted into the slot 601, making the stacking of the breeding cages more stable and less prone to tipping over.

[0044] In this embodiment, the support leg 101 is provided with a fixing member for fixing the card block 103 that is inserted into the card slot 601.

[0045] In this embodiment, the fasteners fix the card block 103 that is inserted into the card slot 601, making the stacking of the breeding cages more stable and better preventing the stacked breeding cages from tipping over due to the poultry inside the cages jumping and causing agitation.

[0046] In this embodiment, the support leg 101 is provided with a cavity 501 that communicates with the corresponding slot 601. A push plate 520 is provided in the cavity 501 through a second spring 510. A T-shaped block 611 is provided on the push plate 520 that extends into the slot 601. A T-shaped groove 420 is provided on the slot 103 for the corresponding T-shaped block 611 to be inserted. A second hand-tightening bolt 530 is threadedly connected to the support leg 101 to push the push plate 520 and drive the T-shaped block 611 to disengage from the T-shaped groove 420.

[0047] In this embodiment, an opening is provided on one side of the cavity 501, and a blocking plate 620 is provided at the opening, thereby better realizing the assembly and disassembly of the fastener within the cavity 501.

[0048] The support leg 101 has a threaded hole on one side that connects to the cavity 501. The second hand-tightening bolt 530 is threaded into the threaded hole, and one end of the second hand-tightening bolt 530 extends into the cavity 501 and cooperates with the push plate 520. Through the above structure, when the second hand-tightening bolt 530 is disengaged from the cavity 501 during actual use, the second spring 510 pushes the push plate 520 to slide in the cavity 501, so that the T-shaped block 611 extends into the slot 601. At this time, the T-shaped block 611 is inserted into the T-shaped groove 420, which can fix the block 103, thereby achieving its fixation in the slot 601, making the stacking of the breeding cage more stable.

[0049] When it is necessary to release the fixing of the locking block 103 so that the locking block 103 can extend into or out of the locking groove 601, the second hand-tightening bolt 530 is turned to extend it into the cavity 501, thereby pushing the push plate 520 to compress the second spring 510 to slide, so that the T-shaped block 611 retracts into the cavity 501 and is removed from the T-shaped groove 420. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0050] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the side wall of the push plate 520 slides in conjunction with the side wall of the cavity 501, so that the push plate 520 can slide relatively smoothly in the cavity 501, so as to align the T-shaped block 611 with the T-shaped groove 420; at the same time, a protruding post is provided on one side of the push plate 520, and one end of the second spring 510 is sleeved on the protruding post, so that the second spring 510 is stably installed in the cavity 501.

[0051] In summary, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the patent application of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the patent of the present utility model.
