Description
A stepped, stacked egg-laying hen feeding device Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of egg-laying hen breeding technology, and in particular to a stepped, stacked egg-laying hen breeding device. Background Technology
[0002] When raising layered laying hens, a type of tiered layered laying hen rearing device is often used. This is a highly efficient breeding equipment whose design allows multiple layers of cages to be stacked vertically, with each layer connected by ramps to facilitate egg collection and hen management. The benefits of this device include improved space utilization, easier centralized management and disease control, reduced labor costs, and improved egg-laying environment. It is an important tool for improving efficiency and yield in modern layered hen farming.
[0003] The tiered layer hen rearing system first ensures that the chickens' basic living needs are met by automatically and regularly providing them with food and water; then, it uses automated equipment to collect eggs, reducing human intervention and increasing efficiency; finally, it treats manure and other waste to maintain a clean and hygienic rearing environment. The entire process aims to improve production efficiency, ensure animal welfare, and promote sustainable development.
[0004] In existing stepped layered layered chicken rearing devices, feed supply largely relies on manual timed feeding or simple mechanical conveying, resulting in a significant lack of automatic feeding. On the one hand, manual feeding is inefficient, labor-intensive, and easily influenced by the operator's habits, leading to uneven feed distribution among the chicken cages. On the other hand, some equipped spiral or belt conveyor feeding devices are difficult to adapt to the three-dimensional drop of the stepped layered structure, easily resulting in uneven distribution with full feed in the upper layers and insufficient feed in the lower layers. In addition, existing automated feeding lacks accurate monitoring of the feed troughs in each layer, and cannot replenish feed in real time according to the dynamic feeding of the hens, often causing feed waste or untimely feeding. Therefore, a stepped layered layered layered chicken rearing device is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

An automatic feeding mechanism is provided on the outside of the stepped support 1, and cleaning mechanisms are provided on the left and right sides inside the stepped support 1.
[0034] The automatic feeding mechanism includes a storage bin 4, which stores a certain amount of feed to provide a continuous feed supply for laying hens. A shell 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the storage bin 4 to protect the drive component from the influence of the external environment, such as dust and moisture, and also to provide some sound insulation and protection. The drive component is fixedly connected inside the shell 5 to provide rotational power to the stirring shaft 7, so that the stirring shaft 7 drives the stirring rod 8 to stir the feed in the storage bin 4 to prevent the feed from clumping and separating. The output end of the drive component is rotatably connected to the stirring shaft 7, which transmits the rotational power of the motor 6 to the stirring rod 8, so that the stirring rod 8 can stir the feed in the storage bin 4.
[0035] Stirring rods 8 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the outside of the stirring shaft 7. Driven by the stirring shaft 7, the feed in the storage box 4 is stirred to make the feed evenly mixed, avoid feed clumping and layering, and ensure the quality and flowability of the feed. The discharge pipes 9 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the outside of the storage box 4 to transport the feed in the storage box 4 to the distribution block 10, providing a channel for subsequent distribution operations. The distribution block 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the discharge pipe 9 to distribute the feed transported by the discharge pipe 9. Under the control of the motor 11 and the rotating rod 12, the feed is transported to the distribution pipe 14 and the distribution pipe 15 respectively to realize the feed supply to chicken cages in different positions.
[0036] A motor 11 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the feed distribution block 10, which provides rotational power to the rotating rod 12, causing the rotating rod 12 to drive the feeding plate 13 to rotate inside the feed distribution block 10, thereby controlling the flow direction and flow rate of the feed. The output end of the motor 11 is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 12, which transmits the rotational power of the motor 11 to the feeding plate 13, enabling the feeding plate 13 to rotate inside the feed distribution block 10, thereby controlling the flow direction and flow rate of the feed.
[0037] Feeding plates 13 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the rotating rod 12. Driven by the rotating rod 12, they rotate inside the feeding block.

[0038] The cleaning mechanism includes a connecting rod 16, which is a component connecting the feed distribution pipe and the cleaning plate 17. It can transmit the movement of the feed distribution pipe to the cleaning plate 17, so that the cleaning plate 17 moves with the movement of the feed distribution pipe 14 and the feed distribution pipe 2 15, thereby cleaning the feed trough 18. The cleaning plate 17 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting rod 16.

Linear slide rails 21 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the inside of the chicken cage 20 to provide a sliding track for the pneumatic slider 22, ensuring that the pneumatic slider 22 can move stably along a straight line. The pneumatic slider 22 is slidably connected to the outside of the linear slide rail 21. Under the action of air pressure, it slides along the linear slide rail 21, driving the fixed block 23 and the connecting rod 24 to move, thereby realizing the movement of the egg collection and manure collection plate 25.
[0042] A fixed block 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the pneumatic slider 22, which is an intermediate component connecting the pneumatic slider 22 and the connecting rod 24. The movement of the pneumatic slider 22 is transmitted to the connecting rod 24. The linear slide rail 21 is fixedly connected to the left and right sides inside the chicken cage 19. The connecting rod 24 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed block 23, which connects the fixed block 23 and the egg collection and manure collection plate 25. The movement of the pneumatic slider 22 is transmitted to the egg collection and manure collection plate 25, so that the egg collection and manure collection plate 25 can move inside the chicken cage.
[0043] The bottom space of the connecting rod 24 is fixedly connected to the egg and manure collection plate 25. Driven by the pneumatic slider 22, it slides inside the chicken cage to collect eggs and manure and concentrate them in a designated location for easy cleaning and disposal. The egg and manure collection plate 25 is externally slidably connected to the inside of the chicken cage 19 and externally slidably connected to the inside of the chicken cage 20.
[0044] Referring to Figures 3 and 4, an outlet 26 is provided on one side of the inside of chicken cage 19, which is a channel for eggs and feces to be discharged from the chicken cage, so that eggs and feces can smoothly enter the drain pipe trough 27. The outside of the outlet 26 is opened on one side of the inside of chicken cage 20, and the drain pipe trough 27 is fixedly connected to the outside of the outlet 26, guiding the eggs and feces to be discharged from the chicken cage and transporting them to the installation trough 28 for centralized treatment. The installation trough 28 is fixedly connected to the outside of the drain pipe trough 27, providing a position for the installation and fixing of the drain pipe trough 27, ensuring the stability and reliability of the drain pipe trough 27, and facilitating the centralized collection and treatment of eggs and feces.
[0045] The outer side of the pipe channel 27 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the chicken cage 19, and the outer side of the pipe channel 27 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the chicken cage 20. The top left and right sides of the stepped bracket 1 are fixedly connected to the sliding rods 2, which provide a sliding track for the sliding plate 3, so that the sliding plate 3 can slide freely on the sliding rods 2, thereby realizing the movement of the automatic feeding mechanism and facilitating the feeding operation of chicken cage 19 and chicken cage 20 at different positions.
[0046] The slide bar 2 is externally slidably connected to a sliding plate 3, which serves as the mounting carrier for the automatic feeding mechanism. By sliding on the slide bar 2, the automatic feeding mechanism is driven to move on the stepped support 1, thereby supplying feed to chicken cage 19 and chicken cage 20 at different positions. The bottom space of the storage box 4 is fixedly connected to the top space of the slide bar 2, and the bottom space of the storage box 4 is slidably connected to the top of the stepped support 1. The outside of the stirring rod 8 is rotatably connected to the inside of the storage box 4, and the outside of the feeding plate 13 is rotatably connected to the inside of the distributing block 10.
[0047] Working principle: When motor 6 starts, it drives the stirring rod 8 to rotate and stir the feed in the storage box 4 through the stirring shaft 7, preventing clumping and stratification. The feed in the storage box 4 enters the distribution block 10 through the discharge pipe 9. At this time, motor 11 runs, driving the rotating rod 12 to drive the feeding plate 13 to rotate in the distribution block 10, controlling the feed flow to the distribution pipe 14 or the distribution pipe 25, so as to feed the chicken cage 19 and chicken cage 20 at different positions. The sliding plate 3 can slide along the sliding rod 2 on the top of the stepped support 1, driving the entire automatic feeding mechanism to move, thereby performing feeding operations on the chicken cage 19 and chicken cage 20 at different positions.
[0048] When feed distribution pipe 14 and feed distribution pipe 215 move, the cleaning plate 17 is driven by the connecting rod 16 to slide at the bottom of the feed trough 18 to clean residual feed and debris. At the same time, the pneumatic slider 22 slides on the linear slide rail 21 under the action of air pressure. Through the fixing block 23 and the connecting rod 24, the egg collection and manure collection plate 25 slides in the chicken cage 19 and chicken cage 20 to collect eggs and manure. The collected eggs and manure enter the drain trough 27 through the outlet 26 opened on one side of the inside of the chicken cage 19 and chicken cage 20, and are finally guided to the installation trough 28 for centralized treatment.
