Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of breeding technology for breeding chickens, and in particular relates to a breeding cage that reduces the egg breakage rate. Background Technology
[0002] Artificial insemination is used to breed chickens, which significantly increases labor intensity and affects work efficiency. Traditional free-range farming has drawbacks such as a high risk of disease infection and low utilization of chicken coops. Therefore, artificial insemination cages are used. These cages are equipment used in poultry farming, primarily for raising and breeding breeding chickens. The cage body is generally made of hot-dip galvanized sheet with a zinc coating thickness of 275g / m². The cage wires undergo a post-weld hot-dip galvanizing process, which provides corrosion resistance and a long service life. However, in practical use, they still have the following drawbacks:
[0003] When this breeding cage is in use, the heads of the breeding chickens can extend out of the cage for feeding and other tasks. However, the structure for collecting the produced eggs is located on the outside of the cage. When the breeding chickens extend their heads out of the cage, they are prone to pecking at the produced eggs, causing the eggs to break and affecting the egg breakage rate.
[0004] Secondly, during the operation of this exchange cage, the produced eggs fall directly onto the egg collection equipment inside the cage. When the eggs fall, they are easily bumped and damaged, which affects the breakage rate of the eggs. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a breeding cage that reduces the egg breakage rate. By setting up a protective frame, receiving components and feed trough, it solves the problems that the breeding chickens in this breeding cage are prone to pecking at the eggs after their heads stick out of the cage, causing the eggs to break, and that the eggs are easily affected by impacts when falling, which affects the egg breakage rate.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] This utility model relates to a breeding cage for reducing egg breakage rate. It includes a protective frame, a receiving component, and feed troughs. A fixed frame is fixed to the bottom of the protective frame, and a receiving component is fixed to the bottom of the fixed frame. The receiving component includes a connecting plate, a soft pad, a bottom plate, and an egg collection box. Connecting plates are fixed to the two short sides of the bottom of the fixed frame. The bottom of the two connecting plates is jointly fixed to the soft pad, and the bottom plate is fixed to the bottom. The egg collection box is jointly fixed to one side of the connecting plate, soft pad, and bottom plate on the same vertical plane. Equally spaced support rods are evenly fixed to each edge of the top of the protective frame. Two feed troughs are provided on the top of the protective frame away from the egg collection box. During operation, the support rods and fixed frame are connected to the protective frame, which also shields the breeder chickens from pecking at the eggs in the egg collection box. The receiving component collects the eggs produced by the breeder chickens, and the feed troughs hold the feed for the breeder chickens.
[0008] Furthermore, a connecting frame is fixed to the top of all the support rods, and a cover plate is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting frame. A support mesh is fixed inside the fixed frame. When the support rods are in operation, the cover plate is hinged to them through the connecting frame, and the top of the connecting frame is closed by the cover plate.
[0009] Furthermore, the receiving component also includes a second soft pad, which is fixed on the side wall of the egg collection box away from the protective frame. The egg collection box further cushions the produced eggs through the second soft pad.
[0010] Furthermore, an adhesive strip is fixed to the lower edge of the material trough near the protective frame. The adhesive strip is adhered to the outside of the support rod. When the material trough is in operation, it is adhered to the support rod by the adhesive strip.
[0011] Furthermore, three equally spaced magnetic sleeves are fixed at the side edge of the material trough above the adhesive strip. The magnetic sleeves are movably connected to the periphery of the support rod at the top of the protective frame. The adhesive strip is movably connected through the magnetic sleeves to support the material trough on the support rod.
[0012] Furthermore, a mounting plate is fixed in the middle of the side of the cover plate above the egg collection box. A threaded rod is rotatably connected to the middle of the side of the mounting plate away from the cover plate. A movable plate is threadedly connected to the periphery of the threaded rod. Movable rods are symmetrically fixed on the side of the movable plate near the mounting plate. The movable rods are placed on both sides of the threaded rod and are inserted through the mounting plate. A rotating rod is fixed to the end of the threaded rod away from the mounting plate. By rotating the rotating rod, the threaded rod is driven to rotate. By rotating the threaded rod, the movable plate is driven to move. The movable plate drives the movable rod and restricts the movable column.
[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] This invention solves the problem of breeder chickens pecking at eggs and breaking them when their heads protrude from the cage by setting up a protective frame. When the breeder chickens are placed in the protective frame, they are supported by the support net inside the frame and walk around. When the breeder chickens lay eggs, the eggs pass through the gaps between the support nets and fall onto a soft pad above the bottom plate, then roll into the egg collection box. During the process of the breeder chickens walking, the protective frame blocks their view of the eggs in the egg collection box after laying, and the protective frame also restricts the breeder chickens' necks to prevent them from pecking at the laid eggs, thus reducing the egg breakage rate.
[0015] This invention solves the problem of egg breakage rate caused by impacts during egg drop in the transfer cage by setting up a protective frame, receiving components, and a feed trough. After the breeding hen lays eggs, the eggs fall onto the connecting plate and are first cushioned by a soft pad to prevent them from breaking. When the eggs roll into the egg collection box, they are further cushioned by a soft pad inside the box to prevent them from breaking. This effectively protects the eggs laid by the breeding hen and prevents them from being bumped during drop in the transfer cage. 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. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Specific Implementation
[0027] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model is a breeding cage for reducing egg breakage rate, including a protective frame 1, a receiving component 2, and a feed trough 3. A fixing frame 104 is fixed to the bottom of the protective frame 1, and the receiving component 2 is fixed to the bottom of the fixing frame 104. The protective frame 1 is welded to an external feeding support frame during use. The protective frame 1 has a certain height to prevent the heads of the breeding chickens from protruding into the egg collection box 204 during operation. The receiving component 2 and the protective frame 1 are connected by the fixing frame 104, and a support net 105 is fixed therein. The receiving component 2 includes a connecting plate 201, a soft pad 202, a bottom plate 203, and an egg collection box 204. Connecting plates 201 are fixed to the two short sides of the bottom of the fixing frame 104. When the connecting plates 201 are in operation, they connect the soft pad 202... Inside the fixed frame 104, the bottom of the two connecting plates 201 is fixed with a soft pad 202. The soft pad 202 provides initial cushioning when the hen lays eggs. The bottom of the soft pad 202 is fixed with a base plate 203 for rigid support. The connecting plates 201, soft pad 202 and base plate 203 are located on the same vertical plane and are fixed with an egg collection box 204. The egg collection box 204 collects the eggs laid by the hen. Each edge of the top of the protective frame 1 is evenly fixed with a support rod 101 at equal intervals. The support rod 101 supports the connecting frame 102 on it. Two feed troughs 3 are provided on the top of the protective frame 1 away from the egg collection box 204. Chicken feed is contained in the feed troughs 3.
[0028] Specifically, a connecting frame 102 is fixed to the top of all the support rods 101. A cover plate 103 is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting frame 102. A support net 105 is fixed inside the fixed frame 104. The tops of all the support rods 101 are connected together through the connecting frame 102. The top of the connecting frame 102 is covered by the cover plate 103. The support net 105 provides support for the breeding chickens to walk.
[0029] Furthermore, the receiving component 2 also includes a second soft pad 205. The second soft pad 205 is fixed on the side wall of the egg collection box 204 away from the protective frame 1. When the receiving component 2 is working, the egg collection box 204 uses the second soft pad 205 to further cushion the eggs that roll from the first soft pad 202 into the egg collection box 204.
[0030] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: When the breeding chickens are placed in the protective frame 1, they are supported by the support net 105 in the fixed frame 104 and walk around. When the breeding chickens lay eggs, the eggs pass through the gaps between the support nets 105 and fall onto the soft pad 202 above the base plate 203. The eggs roll into the egg collection box 204 through the soft pad 202. During the process of the breeding chickens walking, the protective frame 1 blocks the breeding chickens' view of the eggs in the egg collection box 204 after laying. The protective frame 1 restricts the range of head movement of the breeding chickens, preventing them from pecking at the eggs in the egg collection box 204 and reducing the egg breakage rate. Specific Implementation
[0031] Please see Figure 1-7 Based on the first specific embodiment, an adhesive strip 302 is fixed at the lower edge of the material trough 3 near the protective frame 1. The adhesive strip 302 is adhered to the outside of the support rod 101. When the material trough 3 is working, it is adhered to the support rod 101 by the adhesive strip 302, thus limiting the position of the material trough 3 on the support rod 101.
[0032] Specifically, three equally spaced magnetic sleeves 301 are fixed at the side edge of the material trough 3 above the adhesive strip 302. The magnetic sleeves 301 are movably connected to the support rod 101 at the top of the protective frame 1. The movable connection of the magnetic sleeves 301 to the support rod 101 allows the height of the material trough 3 to be determined during operation.
[0033] Furthermore, a mounting plate 4 is fixed to the middle of the side of the cover plate 103 above the egg collection box 204. A threaded rod 401 is rotatably connected to the middle of the side of the mounting plate 4 away from the cover plate 103. A movable plate 403 is threadedly connected to the periphery of the threaded rod 401. A movable rod 404 is symmetrically fixed to the side of the movable plate 403 near the mounting plate 4. The movable rod 404 is placed on both sides of the threaded rod 401 and is inserted through the mounting plate 4. A rotating rod 402 is fixed to the end of the threaded rod 401 away from the mounting plate 4. The mounting plate 4 rotatably connects the threaded rod 401 to it and movably connects the movable rod 404 to it. The movable plate 403 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 401. When the rotating rod 402 is rotated, the movable plate 403 is driven to move, which in turn drives the movable rod 404 to move.
[0034] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: During operation, when it is necessary to place the breeding chicken into the protective frame 1, the top of the cover plate 103 is opened by pushing, and then the breeding chicken is placed into the protective frame 1. After the cover plate 103 is put back, the rotating rod 402 is rotated, which drives the threaded rod 401 to rotate. When the threaded rod 401 rotates, it drives the movable plate 403 to move towards the mounting plate 4 until the two movable rods 404 move between the two adjacent support rods 101 and are set at the bottom of the connecting frame 102, restricting the cover plate 103 and the connecting frame 102. Then, the feed trough 3 is pulled. The magnetic sleeve 301 is pushed up and down to a suitable height. Then, the adhesive strip 302 on the feed trough 3 is bonded to the support rod 101. The height of the feed trough 3 is adjusted to suit the feeding of roosters and hens of the breeding chickens. When the breeding hens lay eggs, the eggs are collected on the connecting plate 201. First, the soft pad 202 cushions the eggs to prevent them from being bumped and broken. When the eggs roll into the egg collection box 204, the soft pad 205 inside the egg collection box further cushions the eggs to prevent them from being bumped and broken, thus effectively protecting the eggs produced by the breeding chickens.
