AI Technical Summary
Traditional rabbit cages cannot automatically time the feeding opening, causing rabbits to overeat during non-feeding hours, which affects their growth, health, and feed utilization.
A mechanism for opening and closing the feeding port of a rabbit cage was designed, including a drive unit, a synchronous shaft, and a detachable door panel. The drive unit drives the door panel to swing back and forth on the synchronous shaft, thereby realizing automated timed control of the opening and closing of the feeding port.
This allows rabbits to eat on time, saving manpower, improving breeding efficiency, reducing feed waste, and promoting healthy growth.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of breeding equipment technology, specifically to an opening and closing mechanism for the feeding opening of a rabbit cage. Background Technology
[0002] In rabbit farming, proper control of the feeding opening in the rabbit cage is crucial. Traditional rabbit cages either keep the feeding opening constantly open, allowing rabbits to enter and exit the feeding area at any time, which can easily lead to overeating during non-feeding hours, affecting their growth, health, and feed utilization; or they use manual opening and closing, which is not only labor-intensive but also difficult to guarantee on time, easily causing them to miss the optimal feeding time, which is not conducive to scientific breeding management. Therefore, a mechanism that can automatically and timed control the opening and closing of the feeding opening is needed to improve breeding efficiency and quality. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an opening and closing mechanism for the feeding opening of a rabbit cage, thereby solving the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] A mechanism for opening and closing the feeding opening of a rabbit cage includes a drive device, a synchronous shaft, several door panels, and a partition frame for dividing the feeding opening of the rabbit cage into several unit feeding openings; the door panels are all detachably mounted on the synchronous shaft, and each unit feeding opening is provided with one door panel; the synchronous shaft passes through the perforation at the upper end of each partition frame, and under the drive of the drive device, drives the door panels to swing back and forth within a certain angle.
[0006] Preferably, the door panel includes a door panel body, a locking plate, and fastening bolts; the size of the door panel body is adapted to the unit feeding opening, and its top end has an arc-shaped bend adapted to the synchronous shaft, with a strip-shaped opening near the end edge of the arc-shaped bend; the upper part of the locking plate also has an arc-shaped bend adapted to the synchronous shaft, and the top end of the arc-shaped bend has a latch that matches the strip-shaped opening; during assembly, first, the arc-shaped bend at the top of the door panel body is clamped onto the top surface of the synchronous shaft, then the latch of the locking plate is inserted into the strip-shaped opening from bottom to top, and then the arc-shaped bend of the locking plate is clamped onto the synchronous shaft, with the lower part of the locking plate fitting against the door panel body. After finely adjusting the angle of the door panel, the door panel body and the locking plate are locked and fixed by the fastening bolts, so that the door panel is fixed on the synchronous shaft.
[0007] Preferably, the outer side of the spacer is provided with two hanging ears, one above the other. During assembly, the spacer is hung on the cage mesh plate on the front side of the rabbit cage through the two hanging ears.
[0008] Preferably, a tongue plate is fixed to the bottom of the spacer.
[0009] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, this utility model can be used as a supporting component of an automatic rabbit feeding system. The drive device is connected to and controlled by the automatic feeding system to realize automated timed control, save manpower, ensure that rabbits eat on time, which is conducive to scientific breeding management and improves breeding efficiency. During non-feeding time, the door is closed tightly, which can effectively prevent rabbits from entering the feeding opening, avoid feed waste and rabbit overeating, improve feed utilization, and promote healthy growth of rabbits.

[0014] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model. Example:
[0015] Reference Figure 1-3 As shown in this embodiment, the opening and closing mechanism of the rabbit cage feeding opening includes a drive device 1, a synchronous shaft 2, several door panels 4, and a partition frame 3 for dividing the rabbit cage feeding opening into several unit feeding openings. The partition frame 3 has two upper and lower hanging ears 32 on its outer side. During assembly, the partition frame 3 is hung on the cage mesh plate 61 on the front side of the rabbit cage 6 via the two hanging ears 32. Preferably, in order to keep the feed level during conveying, a tongue plate 31 for smoothing the feed is fixed to the bottom of the partition frame 3.
[0016] The door panels 4 are all detachably mounted on the synchronous shaft 2 along the axial direction of the synchronous shaft 2, and each unit feeding port is equipped with one door panel. The synchronous shaft 2 passes through the perforations at the upper end of each spacer 3, and under the drive of the drive device 1, it drives the door panels 4 to swing back and forth within a certain angle.
[0017] Specifically, the door panel 4 includes a door panel body 41, a locking plate 42, and fastening bolts 43. The size of the door panel body 41 is adapted to the unit feeding opening, and its top end is provided with an arc-shaped bend adapted to the synchronous shaft 2. The arc-shaped bend has a strip-shaped opening near its end edge. The upper part of the locking plate 42 is also provided with an arc-shaped bend adapted to the synchronous shaft 2, and the top end of its arc-shaped bend is provided with a latch that matches the strip-shaped opening. During assembly, the arc-shaped bend at the top of the door panel body 41 is first clamped onto the top surface of the synchronous shaft 2. Then, the latch of the locking plate 42 is inserted into the strip-shaped opening from bottom to top. Then, the arc-shaped bend of the locking plate 42 is clamped onto the synchronous shaft 2. The lower part of the locking plate 42 is in contact with the door panel body 41. After finely adjusting the angle of the door panel, the door panel body 41 and the locking plate 42 are locked and fixed by the fastening bolts 43, so that the door panel 4 is fixed on the synchronous shaft 2.
