Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of chicken coop technology, and in particular relates to a chicken coop. Background Technology

[0002] Chicken coops are places for raising chickens. With the development of industrial farming, chicken coops are mostly built with steel structures. Compared with traditional concrete or wooden structures, steel structure chicken coops are more economical and environmentally friendly.

[0003] In current chicken coop farming, chickens roam on the ground, and in order to provide sufficient space for movement, chickens raised on the ground need to maintain a specific stocking density, which results in low space utilization of chicken coops built with steel structures.

[0004] Therefore, in practice, to increase the number of chickens raised, chicken cages are installed in the chicken houses to achieve intensive farming. However, the drawback of this method is that it cannot provide enough space for the chickens to move around, and their activities are confined to the narrow cages. At the same time, the quality of farmed broilers is lower than that of free-range broilers, and their economic value is not high.

[0005] The main reason for the above-mentioned technical defects is that the vertical space of the steel structure chicken house cannot be easily utilized, and only the ground space can be used.

[0006] Therefore, in actual breeding, if multiple high-rise activity spaces similar in size to the activity floor area can be set up in the chicken house, it will not only effectively solve the problem of low space utilization in the chicken house, but also increase the activity space of the chickens, realize "free-range", and improve the quality of the broiler chickens. Utility Model Content

[0007] Based on the above background, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a chicken coop.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] A chicken coop includes a steel frame structure for building the chicken coop, and a plate frame mechanism is installed inside the steel frame structure;

[0010] The movable plate frame structure includes a fixed plate frame structure fixed at the lower end of the steel frame structure and a movable plate frame structure that slides on the steel frame structure.

[0011] The fixed plate frame structure includes a fixed plate frame, and the movable plate frame structure includes a movable plate frame. Fixed steel mesh is fixedly connected to the fixed plate frame and the movable plate frame respectively.

[0012] The movable frame is raised and lowered by several lifting and hoisting structures;

[0013] The chicken coop also includes a chicken manure collection mechanism located at the bottom of a fixed frame. The chicken manure collection mechanism includes a movable collection compartment, which is used to move the collected chicken manure.

[0014] Preferably, the steel frame structure includes several top beams, and steel structural columns are fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the top beams respectively;

[0015] Several fixed crossbeams are installed between the outer walls of the steel structure columns.

[0016] Preferably, the lifting and hoisting structures are installed on the front and rear sides of the top beam frame respectively;

[0017] The lifting and hoisting structure includes a lifting motor fixedly installed on the top beam frame. A rope reel is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the lifting motor. A steel cable is wound on the rope reel and fixed to the top of the movable plate frame.

[0018] Preferably, a number of roller brackets are fixedly connected to the front and rear side walls of the movable plate frame, and lifting rollers are installed on the roller brackets. A rail steel seat that cooperates with the lifting rollers is fixedly connected to the steel structure column. A limiting groove for limiting the lifting rollers is opened on the rail steel seat. During the lifting and lowering process of the movable plate frame, the lifting rollers are limited to rolling within the limiting groove.

[0019] Preferably, a steel structure fixed crossbeam is fixedly connected between the top of the top beam frame.

[0020] Preferably, a V-shaped support beam is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top beam frame, and a rope guide hole is opened on the V-shaped support beam, through which the steel cable passes.

[0021] Preferably, the chicken manure collection mechanism further includes a frame-shaped base fixedly connected between steel structure columns, the frame-shaped base having an opening corresponding to the collection bin, and the bin opening being located below the opening;

[0022] The bottom of the frame-shaped base is fixedly connected to several lower support brackets, which are supported on the ground.

[0023] Preferably, the bottom of the fixed plate frame is fixedly connected to several upper support brackets, and the bottom of the upper support brackets is fixed to the top of the frame base.

[0024] Preferably, the front and rear side walls of the storage compartment are equipped with several movable rollers, and a hanging ring is installed on the right side wall of the storage compartment.

[0025] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] 1. During operation, when the movable frame needs to be raised or lowered, the movable frame, the fixed steel mesh, and the chickens moving on the fixed steel mesh are raised and lowered synchronously under the drive of the lifting motor. During the raising and lowering process, the lifting rollers roll against the rail steel base, thus maintaining a smooth raising and lowering. This method ensures that the movable frame can be raised and lowered flexibly during operation.

[0027] The above structure enables double-layer chicken farming within a limited chicken coop. Because the movable frame of the movable layer can be flexibly raised and lowered, the height of the chickens raised on the movable frame and the second fixed steel wire mesh can be adjusted manually during operation. Simultaneously, the height of the chickens raised on the movable and fixed frames can be adjusted according to the temperature inside the chicken coop. For example, in cold winters, the distance between the two layers can be reduced to allow for more compact space between the chickens and better insulation, while in hot summers, the distance can be increased to facilitate airflow and heat dissipation.

[0028] 2. During operation, chicken manure falls from the first and second fixed steel meshes into the collection bin. When the bin is full, the operator uses a rope to pull it onto a hanging ring and moves the entire bin. Simultaneously, wastewater from cleaning the first and second fixed steel meshes also falls into the collection bin. This method facilitates the collection of chicken manure during the farming process.

[0029] 3. The chicken coop disclosed in this utility model achieves double-layer large-space breeding, that is, the top is a liftable breeding space and the bottom is a ground-level breeding space (fixed frame). This allows for convenient management and intervention of the breeding space at the upper level (movable frame), and the breeding space at the upper level can be adjusted according to breeding needs, facilitating manual intervention. At the same time, it achieves large-space breeding, creating sufficient free-range space within the limited chicken coop. Attached Figure Description

[0041] Example 1

[0042] like Figure 1-6As shown, a chicken coop includes a steel frame structure 1 for constructing the coop. Specifically, it is similar to existing steel structure chicken coops. The steel frame structure 1 includes several left-right spaced top beams 11 (the top beams 11 serve as the top beams of the chicken coop's steel structure, representing a conventional top beam structure disclosed in the prior art; the subsequent roof panels of the chicken coop are fixedly installed on the top surface of the top beams 11). Steel structure columns 12 are fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of each top beam 11. Similar to existing methods, mounting seats 121 are installed at the bottom of the columns, and the mounting seats 121 are installed on the foundation (on pre-cast embedded parts in the foundation).

[0043] Similar to existing steel structures, several fixed crossbeams 13 are installed between the outer walls of the steel structure columns 12. To improve the stability of the steel structure, fixed steel structure crossbeams 14 are fixedly connected to the top of the aforementioned top beam frame 11. V-shaped support beams 15 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the top beam frame 11.

[0044] To achieve tiered farming while maintaining ample space in each tier, it is necessary to increase the number of chickens raised within the steel-structured chicken house while ensuring sufficient space for the chickens to move around.

[0045] The steel frame structure 1 described above is equipped with a plate frame mechanism. The plate frame mechanism includes a fixed plate frame structure fixed at the lower end of the steel frame structure 1 and a movable plate frame structure 3 that slides on the steel frame structure 1.

[0046] The movable frame structure 3 serves as a height-adjustable breeding layer. During the breeding process, the movable frame structure 3 can be raised and lowered, and the broilers living on the movable frame structure 3 can be raised and lowered. This is intended to facilitate manual intervention on the chickens "upper floor" during the work process. For example, when it is necessary to inject vaccines or feed, the height of the movable frame structure 3 can be lowered to facilitate intervention by staff.

[0047] Under normal circumstances, the movable frame structure 3 is suspended in the chicken house and maintains a sufficient distance from the fixed frame structure near the ground. This method increases the space for raising broilers "upper floor" and "lower floor", promotes air circulation, and maintains sufficient heat dissipation, especially during the high-temperature season.

[0048] In winter, the height of the movable frame structure 3 can be reduced, thereby decreasing the distance between it and the chickens raised on the fixed frame structure, which facilitates heat preservation.

[0049] Specifically, the fixed plate frame structure includes a fixed plate frame 2, and the movable plate frame structure 3 includes a movable plate frame 31. The fixed plate frame 2 and the movable plate frame 31 are respectively fixedly connected with a first fixed steel mesh 22 and a second fixed steel mesh 32.

[0050] The first fixed steel mesh 22 and the second fixed steel mesh 32 are metal steel meshes with multiple mesh structures. They have a certain structural strength and are fixed to the fixed plate frame 2 and the movable plate frame 31 by welding to facilitate the movement of broiler chickens on the first fixed steel mesh 22 and the second fixed steel mesh 32.

[0051] Chicken droppings fall through the mesh structure.

[0052] Example 2

[0053] like Figure 1-6 As shown, in this embodiment, based on the structure of embodiment 1, in order to raise and lower the movable plate frame 31 mechanism 3, the movable plate frame 31 is raised and lowered by a number of lifting and lowering structures (the lifting and lowering structures are set at intervals on the left and right to realize the raising and lowering of the heavy movable plate frame 31 mechanism 3).

[0054] The lifting and hoisting structures are installed on the front and rear sides of the top beam frame 11 respectively. Specifically, the lifting and hoisting structure includes a lifting motor 33 fixedly installed on the top beam frame 11 (the lifting motor 33 is symmetrically distributed at the front and rear, and a motor base is installed on the top of the motor, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the top beam frame 11). The output shaft of the lifting motor 33 is fixedly installed with a rope winding wheel, and a steel cable is wound on the rope winding wheel (a rope guide hole is opened on the V-shaped support beam, and the steel cable passes through the rope guide hole). The steel cable is fixed to the top of the movable plate frame 31.

[0055] Meanwhile, several roller brackets are fixedly connected to the front and rear side walls of the movable plate frame 31, and lifting rollers 321 are installed on the roller brackets. A rail steel seat 35 that cooperates with the lifting rollers 321 is fixedly connected to the steel structure column 12. A limiting groove for limiting the lifting rollers 321 is opened on the rail steel seat 35. During the lifting and lowering process of the movable plate frame 31, the lifting rollers 321 are limited to rolling in the limiting groove.

[0056] During operation, when the movable frame 31 needs to be raised or lowered, the movable frame 31, the fixed steel mesh, and the chickens moving on the fixed steel mesh are raised and lowered under the synchronous drive of the lifting motor 33. During the raising and lowering process, the lifting rollers 321 roll against the rail steel seat 35, thus maintaining stable raising and lowering. This method ensures that the movable frame 31 can be raised and lowered flexibly during operation.

[0057] The above structure enables double-layer chicken farming within a limited chicken coop. Because the movable frame 31 of the movable layer can be flexibly raised and lowered, the height of the chickens raised on the movable frame 31 and the second fixed steel mesh 32 can be adjusted manually during operation. Simultaneously, the height of the chickens raised on the movable frame 31 and the fixed frame 2 can be adjusted according to the temperature inside the chicken coop. For example, in cold winter conditions, the distance between the two layers can be reduced to allow for more compact space between the chickens and better insulation, while in hot summer conditions, the distance can be increased to facilitate airflow and heat dissipation.

[0058] Example 3

[0059] like Figure 1-6 As shown, based on the structure of Example 2, in order to facilitate the collection and recycling of chicken manure during the breeding process, the chicken house also includes a chicken manure collection mechanism 4 located at the bottom of the fixed frame 2. The chicken manure collection mechanism 4 includes a movable collection bin 41, which moves the collected chicken manure.

[0060] Specifically, the chicken manure collection mechanism 4 also includes a frame-shaped base 42 fixedly connected between the steel structure columns 12. The frame-shaped base 42 has an opening corresponding to the collection bin 41, and the opening of the collection bin 41 is located below the opening.

[0061] Meanwhile, several lower support brackets 421 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame-shaped base 42, and the lower support brackets 421 are supported on the ground.

[0062] Several upper support brackets 21 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed frame 2, and the bottom of the upper support brackets 21 is fixed to the top edge of the frame base 42. Several moving rollers 412 are installed on the front and rear side walls of the storage compartment 41, and a hanging ring 411 is installed on the right side wall of the storage compartment 41.

[0063] During operation, chicken droppings fall from the first fixed steel mesh 22 and the second fixed steel mesh 32 into the collection bin 41. When the collection bin 41 is full, the operator uses a pull rope to pull the droppings onto the hanging ring 411 and drags the entire collection bin 41 to move.

[0064] Meanwhile, during the actual cleaning of the first fixed steel mesh 22 and the second fixed steel mesh 32, the cleaning wastewater also falls into the collection bin 41.

[0065] This method facilitates the collection of livestock manure during the breeding process.

[0066] Of course, the above description is not intended to limit the present utility model, and the present utility model is not limited to the examples given above. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
