[0025] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0026] As shown in the attached figures, a poultry breeding house includes a cage body made of metal, comprising a cage frame 1, a mesh cage sidewall 2 disposed around the cage frame 1, and a mesh cage top 3 disposed on the top of the cage frame 1. The cage body may be without an inner bottom to meet the needs of free-range poultry, allowing them to feed freely in different areas. However, in this embodiment, the cage body adopts a mesh cage bottom 4 to prevent other animals from digging holes to enter the cage body and harm the poultry.
[0027] The cage has a rectangular bottom, and the cage frame 1 includes six support legs 10 at the bottom. Each support leg 10 includes a support rod 11 and a support base 12 fixed to the bottom of the support rod 11. The height distance between the bottom surface of the support leg 10 and the bottom of the mesh cage 4 is 29mm, which makes it easy for poultry to touch the ground and forage.
[0028] Two wheel assemblies 5 are provided on one side of the bottom edge of the cage frame 1. Wheel frame discs 13 are fixed on two supporting base plates 12 on one side of the bottom of the cage frame 1, and each wheel assembly 5 is mounted on the corresponding wheel frame disc 13. Each wheel assembly 5 extends outward from one side of the cage body and includes a wheel joint 51 mounted on the bottom edge of the cage frame 1 and a wheel 52 pivotally connected to the wheel joint 51 around a horizontally arranged wheel axle X1.
[0029] To facilitate pushing the cage, only a slight lifting of the other side of the cage is needed to move it. In this embodiment, the wheel assembly 5 is made in a flip-type configuration. Each wheel joint 51 is pivotally connected to the wheel frame disk 13 around a horizontally arranged flip axis X2. The wheel axle X1 is spatially perpendicular to the flip axis X2, and the wheel joint 51 is bent into a rod shape from the flip axis X2 towards the wheel axle X1. A wheel locking mechanism 6 is provided between the wheel joint 51 and the wheel frame disk 13. The wheel locking mechanism 6 locks the wheel joint 51 in an upward flip position and a downward flip position that are 180° apart. In the upward flip position, the wheel joint 51 bends upward, and the lowest point of the outer contour of the wheel 52 is above the support bottom plane formed by all the support feet 10. In the downward flip position, the wheel joint 51 bends downward, and the lowest point of the outer contour of the wheel 52 is below the support bottom plane formed by all the support feet 10. Only a slight lifting of the other side of the cage opposite to the wheel assembly 5 is needed to easily push the cage.
[0030] The wheel lock mechanism 6 includes a first locking port 51a and a second locking port 51b located on opposite sides of the wheel joint 51, and a flip-locking tongue 61 rotatably mounted on the upper part of the wheel frame 13. Specifically, a locking tongue shaft X3 parallel to the axle X1 of the rolling wheel 52 is provided between the two protruding ears on the upper part of the wheel frame 13. One end of the flip-locking tongue 61 is installed in the middle of the locking tongue shaft X3, and a locking tongue clamping groove 62 is provided in the middle of the upper part of the wheel frame 13. In the upward position, the flip-locking tongue 61 is engaged in the locking tongue clamping groove 62 and the first locking port 51a; in the downward position, the flip-locking tongue 61 is engaged in the locking tongue clamping groove 62 and the second locking port 51b. The wheel lock mechanism 6 has a simple design structure and ensures the stability of the wheel 52 in the upward and downward positions, avoiding accidental shaking of the wheel assembly 5 during movement.
[0031] A mesh cage door is installed on the side wall 2 of the cage to facilitate the entry of farmers for cleaning and feeding.
[0032] The mesh cage bottom 4 can also be constructed by connecting multiple mesh cage bottom plates in sequence. When needed, it is unfolded and laid on the multiple bottom ribs distributed longitudinally and transversely at the bottom of the cage frame 1. The perimeter of the mesh cage bottom 4 can be fastened or tied to the bottom edge or bottom ribs of the cage frame 1. When not in use, the mesh cage bottom 4 can be folded up and taken out for later use. This adapts to the breeding needs of poultry in different situations, improving the versatility and practicality of the breeding house.
[0033] Of course, the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be used to limit the protection scope of this utility model. All modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of the main technical solution of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
