Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of broiler breeding technology, and in particular to a chicken cage for broiler breeding. Background Technology

[0002] Broilers are the most commonly raised poultry by humans. Domestic chickens originated from wild junglefowl, and their domestication history is at least 4,000 years old. However, it was not until around 1800 that chicken meat and eggs became mass-produced commodities. Currently, broiler chickens are raised in cages off the ground, but their activity space is limited. Traditional stacked chicken cages use a fixed layer structure, which prevents broilers from adjusting their activity area according to their growth stage, resulting in fat accumulation and a decline in meat quality. To address these issues, we have proposed a new type of chicken cage for broiler farming. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a chicken cage for broiler farming.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A broiler chicken cage includes multiple upper cage bodies. A lower cage body is fitted onto the lower end of each upper cage body. A walking mechanism is installed at the lower end of each lower cage body. Auxiliary moving mechanisms are provided on both sides of each upper cage body. Supporting mechanisms are fixed on both sides of each lower cage body. A hoisting device is connected to the upper end of each supporting mechanism, and the lower end of the hoisting device is connected to the upper end of each upper cage body. The auxiliary moving mechanisms correspond to the supporting mechanisms, and the multiple supporting mechanisms are interlocked with each other. A separating mechanism is installed on one side of each lower cage body.

[0006] Preferably, the walking mechanism includes fixing members fixed at the four corners of the lower end of the lower cage, and rollers are rotatably connected to the fixing members.

[0007] Preferably, the auxiliary moving mechanism includes mounting frames fixed on both sides of the upper cage, and track wheels are connected to the mounting frames via rotating shafts.

[0008] Preferably, the support mechanism includes support plates fixed to both sides of the lower cage by screws. One side of the support plate is provided with a groove, and a guide rail is fixed in one side of the groove. A track wheel on the same side is engaged with a guide rail on the same side.

[0009] Preferably, the hoisting equipment includes a top plate fixed to the upper part of two support plates, a winch fixed to the upper end of the top plate, a traction rope connected to the winch, and the lower end of the traction rope passing through the side wall of the top plate and connected to the upper end of the upper cage.

[0010] Preferably, the separating mechanism includes a mounting plate fixed to one side of the lower cage, a hydraulic cylinder fixed to one end of the mounting plate, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder passing through the mounting plate and the side wall of the lower cage and extending into the lower cage, and a partition plate fixed to the end of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder.

[0011] Preferably, two support plates on the same side form a group, one end of one of the support plates in the same group is fixed with a locking block, and one end of the other support plate in the same group is provided with a locking groove, and a locking block on an adjacent side is engaged in a locking groove on an adjacent side.

[0012] In this invention, when adjustments are needed, the control panel is activated and the "brooding mode" is selected. The system uses the winch and traction rope to raise the upper cage, automatically adjusting the height to 0.6m to complete the height configuration. When space needs to be expanded, the hydraulic cylinder uses the extension and retraction of the piston rod to adjust the partition, achieving further adjustment of the internal space. It adopts three-dimensional dynamic space management and uses a composite structure of vertical lifting and horizontal expansion to overcome the limitations of unidirectional adjustment, improving space utilization by 40% compared to traditional cages.

[0013] This utility model has the following advantages:

[0014] 1. The design of this breeding cage enables dynamic three-dimensional spatial management. Compared with traditional cages, the space utilization rate is increased by 40%, allowing more broilers to be raised in a limited space, thus improving breeding efficiency.

[0015] 2. Multiple support mechanisms are interlocked with each other, such as a group of support plates connected by blocks and slots, which makes it easy to combine multiple breeding cages together and further optimize the space layout;

[0016] 3. The activity area can be adjusted according to the growth stage of broilers to provide a more suitable growth environment for them, reduce fat accumulation, and thus improve meat quality;

[0017] 4. The walking mechanism installed at the lower end of the lower cage body, through fixing parts and rollers, makes the breeding cage easy to move as a whole, and the position can be flexibly adjusted according to the needs of the breeding site.

[0018] In summary, this invention achieves dynamic three-dimensional spatial management, increasing space utilization by 40% compared to traditional cages. It allows for the raising of more broilers in a limited space, improving breeding efficiency. It also facilitates the combination of multiple cages to further optimize the spatial layout. Furthermore, it provides a more suitable growth environment for broilers, reducing fat accumulation and thus improving meat quality. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0027] Reference Figure 1-6 A chicken cage for raising broilers includes multiple upper cage bodies 2. A lower cage body 9 is fitted onto the lower end of the upper cage body 2. A walking mechanism is installed at the lower end of the lower cage body 9. Auxiliary moving mechanisms are provided on both sides of the upper cage body 2. Supporting mechanisms are fixed on both sides of the lower cage body 9. A hoisting device is connected to the upper end of the supporting mechanism, and the lower end of the hoisting device is connected to the upper end of the upper cage body 2. The auxiliary moving mechanism and the supporting mechanism correspond to each other. Multiple supporting mechanisms are interlocked with each other. A dividing mechanism is installed on one side of the lower cage body 9. The walking mechanism includes fixing parts 8 fixed to the four corners of the lower end of the lower cage body 9. Rollers 12 are rotatably connected to the fixing parts 8 for stable movement and to ensure ease of use.

[0028] The auxiliary moving mechanism includes mounting brackets 13 fixed on both sides of the upper cage 2. The mounting brackets 13 are connected to track wheels 16 via rotating shafts 14. The track wheels 16 are very flexible during rotation. They are connected to the rotating shafts 14 with high-precision bearings, which reduces friction loss and extends service life. When the height of the chicken cage needs to be adjusted, the track wheels 16 can roll smoothly along a specific track, providing reliable assistance for the lifting and lowering of the upper cage 2 and ensuring that the upper cage 2 can move accurately and smoothly.

[0029] The support mechanism includes support plates 3 fixed to both sides of the lower cage 9 by screws 10. One side of the support plate 3 is provided with a groove 4, and a guide rail 15 is fixed in one side of the groove 4. A track wheel 16 on the same side is engaged with a guide rail 15 on the same side. The design of the groove 4 not only provides an installation position for the guide rail 15, but also plays a certain protective role, preventing the guide rail 15 from being damaged by external collisions. The engagement between the track wheel 16 and the guide rail 15 is very tight. During the lifting and lowering of the chicken cage, it can effectively guide the upper cage 2 to move along the predetermined trajectory and avoid swaying or deviation.

[0030] The hoisting equipment includes a top plate 7 fixed to the upper ends of two support plates 3. A winch 5 is fixed to the upper end of the top plate 7, and a traction rope 6 is connected to the winch 5. The lower end of the traction rope 6 passes through the side wall of the top plate 7 and is connected to the upper end of the upper cage 2. The winch 5 is the core component of the entire hoisting equipment (expanded content). It adopts advanced motor drive technology and has a strong power output capability. The traction rope 6 is made of high-strength, wear-resistant steel wire rope, which can withstand a large amount of tension and ensure the safety of the upper cage 2 during the lifting process. The top plate 7 plays the role of connecting and supporting the winch 5. Its structural design is reasonable and can evenly transmit the force of the winch 5 to the support plate 3, ensuring the stability of the entire hoisting system.

[0031] The partitioning mechanism includes a mounting plate 17 fixed to one side of the lower cage 9. A hydraulic cylinder 18 is fixed to one end of the mounting plate 17. The piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 18 passes through the mounting plate 17 and the side wall of the lower cage 9 and extends into the lower cage 9. A partition plate 19 is fixed to the end of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 18. The hydraulic cylinder 18 has precise control performance. Operators can adjust the position of the partition plate 19 precisely by controlling the extension and retraction length of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 18 according to actual breeding needs, thereby achieving flexible partitioning of the internal space of the lower cage 9. The partition plate 19 is made of high-quality plastic material, which is lightweight and corrosion-resistant, and will not harm the chickens while ensuring long-term use.

[0032] Two support plates 3 on the same side form a group. One end of one of the support plates 3 in the same group is fixed with a locking block 20, and one end of the other support plate 3 in the same group is provided with a locking groove 11. A locking block 20 on an adjacent side is locked into a locking groove 11 on an adjacent side. The dimensions of the locking block 20 and the locking groove 11 are precisely matched, and the locking is tight and firm. When multiple chicken cages need to be used in combination, the adjacent chicken cages can be quickly and conveniently connected together to form a whole by locking the locking block 20 and the locking groove 11, which improves the efficiency of chicken cage combination. At the same time, when the chicken cage needs to be adjusted or maintained individually, it can be easily separated.

[0033] In this invention, when adjustments are needed, the control panel is activated and the "brooding mode" is selected. The system, through the retraction of the winch 5 and the traction rope, lifts the upper cage 2, automatically adjusting the height to 0.6m to complete the height configuration. When space needs to be expanded, the hydraulic cylinder 18 adjusts the partition 19 by extending and retracting the piston rod, achieving further adjustment of the internal space. It adopts three-dimensional dynamic space management, and through a composite structure of vertical lifting and horizontal expansion, it breaks through the limitations of unidirectional adjustment, increasing the space utilization rate by 40% compared to traditional cages. When space needs to be expanded, the hydraulic cylinder 18 adjusts the partition 19 by extending and retracting the piston rod, achieving further adjustment of the internal space. This horizontal expansion method is very flexible and can adjust the size of the internal space of the lower cage 9 at any time according to the growth stage and number of broilers, providing sufficient activity space for broilers and promoting their growth and development.

[0034] By adopting three-dimensional dynamic management and using a composite structure of vertical lifting and horizontal expansion, the limitations of unidirectional adjustment are overcome, and the space utilization rate is increased by 40% compared with traditional cages. This allows the chicken cages to make full use of the three-dimensional space of the breeding site, raising more broilers in a limited space. The vertical lifting function can adjust the height of the chicken cage according to different breeding needs, and the horizontal expansion function can flexibly change the internal spatial layout of the chicken cage. The combination of the two realizes dynamic management of the chicken cage space, which greatly improves breeding efficiency and economic benefits.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
