Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laying box technology, specifically an adjustable laying box for breeder hens. Background Technology

[0002] In modern large-scale breeding chicken farming, the laying box is a core piece of equipment in breeding chicken production, and its structural design directly affects the production performance of the chickens and the efficiency of breeding. To meet market demands, laying boxes with various structures are now available on the market.

[0003] For example, the utility model patent with publication number CN215500908U discloses an egg-laying box for breeding hens, which includes a box body and an egg trough arranged symmetrically on the left and right sides. The left and right boxes are separated by a vertical middle connecting plate, and the inclined fixed plate at the top of the left and right boxes forms a conical structure with a high contact area. The box body includes multiple mountain-shaped plates and a base support. The mountain-shaped plates are spaced apart and are fixedly connected by multiple base support round steel bars. The base support round steel bars between the mountain-shaped plates of each side box support the base support respectively. The base support is provided with through ventilation holes. Each base support is covered with an artificial straw mat, and the artificial straw mat has multiple through ventilation holes.

[0004] While the aforementioned patented laying boxes for breeder chickens offer a high degree of automation, their manufacturing cost is also high, making them unsuitable for small and medium-sized chicken farms. Currently, many small and medium-sized chicken farms use non-automated laying boxes with horizontal bases. This leads to the accumulation of feces and feed residue, making manual cleaning time-consuming and labor-intensive, and increasing the risk of bacterial growth and disease transmission. Furthermore, the horizontal base prevents eggs from moving, requiring workers to reach inside the box to retrieve them, which is inconvenient. Additionally, existing laying boxes lack adequate insulation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an adjustable laying box for breeder chickens, which aims to improve the problems of existing laying boxes, which are mostly horizontal in structure, making them difficult to clean and retrieve eggs, and also unable to provide heating for breeder chickens in winter.

[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0007] An adjustable laying box for breeder hens includes a box body with multiple laying spaces, each with a tray at its bottom. Inside the box body, a mesh panel is installed above each tray, with its rear end passing through the box body. An electric push rod is rotatably connected to the rear end of the box body, its output end rotatably connected to the rear end of the mesh panel to tilt the panel.
