[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture technology, and in particular to a chicken cage manure collection device. Background Technology
[0002] In the process of poultry farming, especially in the chicken industry, a large number of chicken cages are needed. Chicken cages are mostly set up in rows, and a large number of chickens can be raised in one cage. The chickens eat and defecate in the cage.
[0003] For example, CN207461168U discloses a chicken coop manure collection and cleaning device, including a base and a movable collection plate. The bottom of the base has a water tank with four casters, each equipped with a wheel brake. Both sides of the top of the base have baffles, and one side of each baffle has a groove that slidably connects to a slider. One side of the slider is fixedly connected to both sides of the movable collection plate. The top of the movable collection plate has two electric telescopic rods, each with a fixed plate at its top. This invention uses the rotation of a motor output shaft to drive a transmission gear, which moves within a rack. Limiting blocks at both ends of the rack restrict the position of the transmission gear within the rack, causing the movable collection plate to slide within the groove.
[0004] However, in existing technologies, when using chicken cages for breeding, ordinary chicken cages are not convenient for quick collection, resulting in poor manure collection. This leads to manure accumulating in or around the cage, producing a foul odor, and attracting pests such as flies and mosquitoes, increasing the risk of disease transmission. The manure contains a large number of bacteria, viruses, and parasite eggs. Long-term exposure to such an environment makes chickens susceptible to diseases such as respiratory and digestive diseases, affecting their growth performance and health. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that poor manure collection in the existing technology increases the risk of disease transmission, and to propose a manure collection device for chicken cages.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a chicken cage manure collection device, including a chicken cage frame, a support plate installed on the inner side of the chicken cage frame, and two collection mechanisms symmetrically installed on the top of the support plate;
[0007] The collection mechanism includes a movable frame, a cleaning roller rotatably connected to the inner side of the movable frame, the other end of the cleaning roller passing through the movable frame, and a support block rotatably connected to one end of the cleaning roller. A scraper is fixedly connected to one side of the movable frame, the bottom of the scraper abutting against the top of the support plate. A transmission gear is rotatably connected to the side wall of the movable frame, and the transmission gear is fixedly connected to one end of the cleaning roller. A control rod is rotatably connected to the shaft end of one side of the transmission gear. A guide block is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom end of the support block. A guide groove is opened on the side wall of the support plate, and the guide groove is slidably connected to the guide block.
[0008] Preferably, the support plate has multiple collection ports on its top, and fixed plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the support plate, with an opening in the center of the top of the fixed plate.
[0009] Preferably, the control mechanism includes a mounting box, with two lead screws rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the mounting box, and a sliding block threaded onto the outer surface of the lead screws, one end of which is fixedly connected to a control rod.
[0010] Preferably, a drive motor is installed on one side of the mounting box, and a bevel gear set is installed inside the mounting box, the bevel gear set being fixedly connected to a lead screw.
[0011] Preferably, racks are fixedly connected to both sides of the support plate, and the racks are meshed with transmission gears.
[0012] Preferably, a manure box is installed below the fixing plate.
[0013] Preferably, one end of the manure box passes through the chicken cage frame, and the manure box is slidably connected to the inner wall of the chicken cage frame.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0023] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0024] Example 1: As Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, this utility model provides a chicken cage manure collection device, including a chicken cage frame 1, a support plate 4 installed on the inner side of the chicken cage frame 1, and two collection mechanisms 3 symmetrically installed on the top of the support plate 4;
[0025] The collection mechanism 3 includes a movable frame 32, a cleaning roller 38 rotatably connected to the inner side of the movable frame 32, the other end of the cleaning roller 38 passing through the movable frame 32, and a support block 36 rotatably connected to one end of the cleaning roller 38. A scraper 34 is fixedly connected to one side of the movable frame 32, the bottom of the scraper 34 abutting against the top of the support plate 4. A transmission gear 33 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the movable frame 32, and the transmission gear 33 is fixedly connected to one end of the cleaning roller 38. A control rod 31 is rotatably connected to the shaft end of one side of the transmission gear 33. A guide block 37 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom end of the support block 36. A guide groove 43 is opened on the side wall of the support plate 4, and the guide groove 43 is slidably connected to the guide block 37.
[0026] The specific settings and functions of this embodiment will be described in detail below. First, during the movement of the movable frame 32 driven by the control lever 31, the movable frame 32 is made of sturdy metal material, capable of withstanding the force generated by the scraper 34 during the cleaning process. At the same time, its structural design allows it to slide smoothly on the track of the chicken coop frame 1 without shaking or jamming. The scraper 34 is made of a high-hardness, wear-resistant material to ensure that it will not wear out quickly when repeatedly scraping the surface of the support plate 4, maintaining a long-lasting cleaning effect.
[0027] When the control lever 31 moves the movable frame 32, the rack 35 generates a continuous driving force on the transmission gear 33. The transmission gear 33 then converts this driving force into rotational motion, thereby driving the cleaning roller 38 to rotate. The cleaning roller 38 ensures that the surface of the support plate 4 is thoroughly and evenly cleaned.
[0028] To further improve cleaning effectiveness, the surface of the cleaning roller 38 can be covered with fine bristles or a cleaning cloth made of a special material. These bristles or cleaning cloths effectively remove residues from the surface of the support plate 4 during rotation, including fine fecal particles and dust. Furthermore, the materials chosen for these materials also consider abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance, and ease of cleaning to ensure that the cleaning roller 38 maintains its high cleaning efficiency over a long period.
[0029] Example 2: Figure 2 - Figure 4As shown, the support plate 4 has multiple collection ports 41 on its top, and fixed plates 42 are fixedly connected to both sides of the support plate 4. A through-hole is located at the center of the top of each fixed plate 42. The control mechanism 2 includes a mounting box 22. Two lead screws 24 are rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the mounting box 22. Sliding blocks 25 are threaded onto the outer surface of the lead screws 24, and one end of each sliding block 25 is fixedly connected to a control rod 31. A drive motor 21 is mounted on one side of the mounting box 22, and a bevel gear set 23 is mounted inside the mounting box 22, which is fixedly connected to the lead screws 24. Racks 35 are fixedly connected to both sides of the support plate 4, and the racks 35 mesh with transmission gears 33. A manure box 5 is installed below the fixed plate 42. One end of the manure box 5 penetrates the chicken cage frame 1, and the manure box 5 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the chicken cage frame 1.
[0030] The overall effect of this embodiment is that when the drive motor 21 is running, the two driven bevel gears of the bevel gear set 23 start to rotate, so that when the lead screw 24 rotates, the sliding block 25 on the surface will start to move, which in turn drives the control rod 31 to move. When the control rod 31 moves, it can control the moving frame 32 to start moving so as to carry out the work of collecting feces.
[0031] During the process of controlling the moving frame 32 to move along a predetermined trajectory, the support blocks 36 located on its sides play a crucial role. These support blocks 36 provide stable support for the moving frame 32, and the sliding of the guide blocks 37 in the guide grooves 43 allows the moving frame 32 to maintain a precise trajectory even when moving at high speed, effectively preventing deviation or shaking caused by vibration or external impact.
[0032] In this way, the scraper 34 can maintain a stable posture while cleaning the surface of the support plate 4, avoiding problems such as incomplete cleaning or damage to the support plate 4 caused by tilting or shifting. This improves the efficiency and quality of cleaning.
[0033] To improve the efficiency of fecal collection, a layout of multiple collection ports 41 is adopted. These collection ports 41 are evenly distributed on the surface of the support plate 4, forming a dense collection network. When the scraper 34 scrapes the feces off the surface of the support plate 4, the feces can quickly and accurately fall into the nearest collection port 41, avoiding splashing or leakage caused by excessive distance.
[0034] The device's operation and working principle are as follows: During breeding, corresponding fences can be installed on the side walls of the chicken cage frame 1. After the manure accumulates on the support plate 4, cleaning and collection of the manure begins. When cleaning the manure on the top of the support plate 4, the operator manually moves the control lever 31, causing it to slide along one side of the chicken cage frame 1. During this process, the control lever 31 pulls the moving frame 32 to move synchronously. The moving frame 32 then controls the scraper 34 on one side to clean the manure on the surface of the support plate 4, pushing the manure to the collection port 41.
[0035] As the scraper 34 moves, the rack 35 interacts with the transmission gear 33, driving the transmission gear 33 to rotate, which in turn drives the cleaning roller 38 to rotate. The cleaning roller 38, through its own rotational motion, further cleans the surface of the support plate 4, ensuring surface cleanliness.
[0036] To maintain the stability of the scraper 34 during the cleaning process, the support block 36 on one side of the moving frame 32 drives the guide block 37 to slide along the inside of the guide groove 43, effectively preventing the scraper 34 from tilting or shifting, thereby improving the efficiency of cleaning and collection. In addition, the setting of multiple collection ports 41 improves the efficiency of fecal collection.
[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
