Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chicken cage technology, and in particular to a stacked chicken cage with a movable chicken cage door. Background Technology
[0002] Chicken cages are specialized devices used for raising chickens in enclosures, playing a crucial role in the chicken farming industry. They are typically divided into multiple independent compartments, each with a well-planned layout to meet the chickens' daily activity needs while facilitating management by the farmer. Some cages are also equipped with automatic feeding and watering systems, significantly improving farming efficiency. In large-scale farms, multi-layered, vertical chicken cages are widely used, greatly saving space and enabling large-scale farming. In small-scale farms, simple single-layer chicken cages are suitable for raising a small number of chickens due to their ease of movement and installation. As an essential tool for chicken farming, chicken cages provide chickens with a safe and comfortable living space, powerfully driving the development of the chicken farming industry.
[0003] Stackable chicken cages have a three-dimensional structure and can be configured with multiple layers to meet breeding needs. They make full use of vertical space, effectively increasing the stocking density per unit area of the chicken house, making them suitable for large-scale intensive chicken farming. At the same time, stackable chicken cages facilitate automated management and can be used with automatic feeding, ventilation, and temperature control equipment, which can significantly reduce labor costs and improve breeding efficiency and economic benefits. They are one of the commonly used chicken cage types in modern chicken farming.
[0004] However, some existing stacked chicken cages lack a stable and suitable fixing structure. When faced with the frequent vibrations generated by the chickens' activities, as well as daily moving and handling operations, the overall stability of the chicken cage will be greatly reduced, making it impossible to effectively fix the chicken cage. In terms of food residue cleaning, it is impossible to effectively clean up food residue. Therefore, to address the above shortcomings, a stacked chicken cage with a movable chicken cage door is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a stacked chicken cage with a movable chicken cage door, which aims to improve the problem that some stacked chicken cages in the prior art cannot effectively fix the chicken cage and cannot clean up the residue.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A stackable chicken cage with a movable cage door includes multiple uprights. Two mounting plates are fixedly connected inside each upright. Two support plates are fixedly connected inside each upright. A drive assembly is provided at the top of each mounting plate. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of each drive assembly. Two pressure plates are fixedly connected to the rear side of each connecting plate. Two rotating rods are rotatably connected to the bottom of each connecting plate. A scraper is rotatably connected to the bottom of each rotating rod. A feed frame is fixedly connected to the top of each support plate. Two drop grooves are provided inside each feed frame. Two collection frames are fixedly connected to the bottom of each support plate. Two chicken cage frames are provided at the top of each support plate. Slots are provided inside each chicken cage frame.
[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0009] Both drive components include cylinders, the bottoms of the two cylinders are respectively mounted on the tops of the two mounting plates, and push rods are fixedly connected to the output ends of the two cylinders.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0011] Each of the multiple chicken cage frames is fixedly connected to a fixed shaft inside, and each of the multiple fixed shafts is rotatably connected to a rotating door outside. Each of the multiple rotating doors is fixedly connected to two handles on opposite sides. Each of the multiple chicken cage frames is slidably connected to a locking post inside, and each of the multiple locking posts is fixedly connected to a fixing ring outside. Each of the multiple locking posts is fitted with a spring outside, and each of the multiple locking posts is fixedly connected to a pull plate at the top.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0013] The bottom of the pressure plate contacts the top of the chicken cage frame, the outside of the push rod is slidably connected to the inside of the mounting plate, and the bottom of the push rod is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate.
[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0015] The scraper is slidably connected to the inside of the feed frame, and both the scraper and the connecting plate are provided with pins to ensure the rotation of the rotating rod.
[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0017] The rotating door is externally slidably connected to the inside of the chicken cage frame, and the fixing ring is externally slidably connected to the inside of the chicken cage frame.
[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0019] One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inside of the chicken cage frame, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing ring;
[0020] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0021] The top of the rotating door has a slot, and the outside of the locking post is slidably connected to the inside of the slot.
[0022] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] 1. In this utility model, when the cylinder is started, the output end pushes the push rod to produce displacement, causing the connecting plate to move accordingly. The pressure plate on the rear side of the connecting plate will then move downward, tightly squeezing the top of the chicken cage frame and firmly pressing the chicken cage frame onto the support plate. This ensures that the chicken cage frame will not shift when the chickens move or are subjected to external forces. At the same time, the rotating rod rotatably connected to the bottom of the connecting plate rotates due to its displacement. The scraper rotatably connected to the bottom of the rotating rod slides in the feed frame fixed to the top of the support plate, effectively scraping off residual feed in the feed frame. The scraped feed residue falls into the collection frame through the drop trough by gravity, completing the cleaning of feed residue, keeping the feed frame clean, and preventing feed deterioration from affecting the health of the chickens.
[0024] 2. In this utility model, when the breeder pulls the pull plate fixedly connected to the top of the locking post, the locking post moves upward, causing the fixing ring to move, the spring to be compressed, and the locking post slides out of the slot of the rotating door, thus unlocking. At this time, the handle can be used to quickly rotate the rotating door around the fixed axis fixed inside the chicken cage frame to open. When it is necessary to close the rotating door, the breeder pushes the rotating door to rotate around the fixed axis to the closed position, releases the pull plate, the spring releases its elastic potential energy, pushes the fixing ring and the locking post to reset downward, and the locking post re-inserts into the slot at the top of the rotating door, quickly completing the closing and locking of the rotating door, which greatly improves the efficiency of the breeder's daily management of the chicken flock.

[0032] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a stacked chicken cage with a movable chicken cage door, comprising multiple uprights 1. The uprights 1 play a crucial role in supporting and stabilizing the entire stacked chicken cage. Two mounting plates 2 are fixedly connected internally to the multiple uprights 1. The main function of the mounting plates 2 is to provide a stable mounting platform for the cylinders 4 in the drive assembly. Two support plates 3 are fixedly connected internally to the multiple uprights 1. A drive assembly is provided on the top of each of the two mounting plates 2. Each drive assembly includes a cylinder 4. The bottoms of the two cylinders 4 are respectively mounted on the tops of the two mounting plates 2. The cylinders 4 are the power source of the drive assembly. Push rods 5 are fixedly connected to the output ends of both cylinders 4. The push rod 5 is externally slidably connected to the inside of the mounting plate 2. The bottom of the push rod 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 6. The bottom of both drive components is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 6. When the cylinder 4 is working, the linear displacement of the push rod 5 drives the connecting plate 6 to move accordingly. Two pressure plates 7 are fixedly connected to the rear side of both connecting plates 6. When the cylinder 4 is working, they move downward with the displacement of the connecting plate 6 and squeeze the top of the chicken cage frame 13. Its function is to firmly press the chicken cage frame 13 onto the support plate 3, realize the positioning of the chicken cage frame 13, prevent the chicken cage frame 13 from shifting under the action of chickens or external forces, and ensure the stability of the chicken cage.
[0034] Two rotating rods 8 are rotatably connected to the bottom of each of the two connecting plates 6. Scrapers 9 are rotatably connected to the bottom of each of the multiple rotating rods 8. When the connecting plate 6 is displaced, it drives the rotating rods 8 to rotate around the pin connected to the connecting plate 6. The rotation of the rotating rod 8 converts the linear motion of the cylinder 4 into the sliding motion of the scraper 9 inside the feed frame 10, realizing the scraping and cleaning function inside the feed frame 10. The scraper 9 and the connecting plate 6 are both equipped with pins to ensure the rotation of the rotating rod 8. The top of the two support plates 3 are fixedly connected to the feed frame 10. The scraper 9 is slidably connected to the inside of the feed frame 10. The inside of the two feed frames 10 is provided with two drop grooves 11. The bottom of the two support plates 3 is fixedly connected with two collection frames 12. The position of the drop grooves 11 is so that when the scraper 9 scrapes the feed residue to this point, it can fall smoothly into the collection frame 12 below by gravity. The top of the two support plates 3 is provided with two chicken cage frames 13. The collection frame 12 collects the feed residue. The bottom of the pressure plate 7 is in contact with the top of the chicken cage frame 13. The inside of the multiple chicken cage frames 13 is provided with slots 14.
[0035] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 Each of the multiple chicken coop frames 13 has a fixed shaft 15 fixedly connected inside. With the support of the fixed shaft 15, the rotating door 16 can rotate smoothly around it to realize the opening and closing operation of the chicken coop door. The rotating door 16 is rotatably connected to the outside of the multiple fixed shafts 15. The outside of the rotating door 16 is slidably connected to the inside of the chicken coop frame 13. Two handles 17 are fixedly connected to the opposite side of the multiple rotating doors 16. The operator pulls the handles 17 to drive the rotating door 16 to rotate around the fixed shaft 15 to realize the opening and closing operation of the chicken coop door. Each of the multiple chicken coop frames 13 has a locking post 18 slidably connected inside. The top of the rotating door 16 has a locking groove. The outside of the locking post 18 is slidably connected to the inside of the locking groove. When the chicken coop is in normal use, the locking post 18 is kept inserted into the locking groove at the top of the rotating door 16 under the elastic force of the spring 20, thereby locking the rotating door 16 firmly.
[0036] Each of the multiple locking posts 18 is fixedly connected to a fixing ring 19. The fixing ring 19 is slidably connected to the inside of the chicken coop frame 13. The fixing ring 19 serves as a support point for one end of the spring 20. When the locking post 18 is displaced by external force, the spring 20 will be compressed or stretched between the fixing ring 19 and the chicken coop frame 13. Each of the multiple locking posts 18 is fitted with a spring 20. One end of the spring 20 is fixedly connected to the inside of the chicken coop frame 13, and the other end is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing ring 19. When the pull plate 21 is pulled... When the locking pin 18 moves upward, the spring 20 is compressed, storing elastic potential energy. When the pull plate 21 is released, the spring 20 releases its elastic potential energy, pushing the fixing ring 19 and the locking pin 18 to return downward and re-insert into the slot of the rotating door 16, thus realizing the automatic locking function. The tops of multiple locking pins 18 are fixedly connected to the pull plate 21. By pulling the pull plate 21, the operator can easily and quickly drive the locking pin 18 to slide upward inside the chicken cage frame 13, so that the locking pin 18 slides out of the slot at the top of the rotating door 16, thereby realizing the unlocking operation of the rotating door 16.
[0037] Working principle: When using this stacked chicken cage, the cylinder 4 is activated to drive the push rod 5 to move, which in turn drives the connecting plate 6 and the pressure plate 7 to move. This causes the rotating rod 8 to rotate, and the rotation of the rotating rod 8 causes the scraper 9 to slide inside the feed frame 10. The displacement of the scraper 9 effectively scrapes and cleans the inside of the feed frame 10. At the same time, the pressure plate 7 moves downward to squeeze the chicken cage frame 13, thereby positioning the chicken cage frame 13.
[0038] When it is necessary to open the revolving door 16, the pull plate 21 can be pulled to move the locking pin 18. This will cause the fixing ring 19 to move and the spring 20 to be compressed, so that the locking pin 18 can slide out of the locking groove inside the revolving door 16. Then the handle 17 can be used to drive the revolving door 16 to rotate, thereby opening the revolving door 16.
[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
