Description

A chicken feed trough that can catch chickens Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chicken farming technology, and in particular to a chicken feed trough that can catch chickens. Background Technology

[0002] As living standards improve, consumers are increasingly demanding higher quality chicken. Compared to traditional intensive farming, free-range chickens, with their larger living space and more exercise, are considered to produce chicken with better quality and flavor, thus gaining popularity in the market.

[0003] Traditional manual capture relies on the chickens' habit of returning to their roosts at dusk, but the process is prone to disturbing the flock, causing them to scatter and escape, thus reducing the success rate of capture. When a large number of chickens are needed, it is necessary to repeat the process multiple times to complete the capture. Furthermore, forcibly driving or surrounding the chickens can easily cause severe stress reactions, resulting in feather loss and affecting their appearance, thereby affecting the results. In addition, manual driving not only has a low success rate of capture, but is also quite physically demanding. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the problems that existing methods of forcibly driving away or capturing chickens are prone to causing severe stress reactions and have low capture success rates, this utility model is proposed.

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a chicken feed trough that can catch chickens, with the aim of catching them by means of attraction, which has a high success rate and saves time and effort.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a chicken feed trough that can catch chickens, including a channel chamber, a feed plate is rotatably installed below the chicken inlet end of the channel chamber, a feed storage cavity for placing feed is opened on the top of the feed plate, a rotary drive assembly for driving the feed storage cavity to rotate is installed on one side of the channel chamber, and an outlet groove for the feed storage cavity to pass through is opened on the side of the channel chamber near the rotary drive assembly.

[0007] A drive source is installed between the two sides of the channel compartment and above the storage cavity. Three sets of baffles are installed at equal intervals on the rotating end of the drive source. An anti-blocking cavity is opened on the top of the channel compartment and on the side near the baffles for the baffles to pass through.

[0008] As an improved technical solution, the rotary drive assembly includes a motor frame and a shaft block welded to the channel chamber, and the material plate is rotatably mounted on the top of the shaft block.

[0009] As an improved technical solution, a second drive motor is installed on the top of the motor frame, and a rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the drive end of the second drive motor, with the bottom end of the rotating shaft fixed to the top of the material plate.

[0010] As an improved technical solution, the drive source includes two lifting structures respectively installed on both sides of the channel compartment. A first drive motor is installed on the top of the movable end of one of the lifting structures. The drive end of the first drive motor is fixedly connected to a horizontal shaft, and a stop bar is welded to the horizontal shaft. Movable cavities for the horizontal shaft to pass through are opened on both sides of the top of the channel compartment.

[0011] As an improved technical solution, the top of the drive end of another lifting structure is fixed with a shaft bracket, and the shaft bracket is rotatably connected to the end of the horizontal axis away from the first drive motor through a rotating shaft installed thereon.

[0012] As an improved technical solution, the lifting structure includes a fixed vertical plate fixed on the channel compartment, and an electric telescopic rod is installed on the fixed vertical plate through a fixed sleeve. The movable end of the electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to a support platform.

[0013] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. This utility model utilizes the chicken's instinctive attraction to feed to induce it to naturally enter the passageway chamber, greatly reducing the disturbance to the flock during capture operations and effectively avoiding the disturbance, stress, and injury caused by traditional capture methods. At the same time, this device can be operated at any time, and once the chicken enters the passageway chamber, the barrier will prevent the chicken from flowing back and escaping from inside the passageway chamber, significantly improving the success rate and efficiency of capture and saving a lot of manpower and time costs.

[0015] 2. In this utility model, the door can also be disassembled, and the outlet end of the passage compartment can be aligned with the inlet end of the chicken cage. The continuous rotation of the feed plate lures the chickens into the interior of the passage compartment, and the inlet is blocked by the baffle to prevent the chickens from flowing back. This also makes it easier to lure the chickens back to the cage to rest at night. Furthermore, the extension of the electric telescopic rod raises the horizontal axis upward, allowing the baffle to detach from the interior of the passage compartment, which facilitates the chickens passing through the passage compartment and leaving the chicken cage during the day.

[0022] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] Referring to Figures 1-3, the first embodiment of this utility model provides a chicken feed trough that can trap chickens. This chicken feed trough includes a channel chamber 1, which is made of a solid plate or a perforated plate. Both ends of the channel chamber 1 are open. A feed plate 2 is rotatably installed below the chicken inlet end of the channel chamber 1. A storage cavity 3 for placing feed is opened on the top of the feed plate 2. A rotary drive assembly 4 for driving the storage cavity 3 to rotate is installed on one side of the channel chamber 1. An outlet groove 5 for the storage cavity 3 to pass through is opened on the side of the channel chamber 1 near the rotary drive assembly 4.

[0025] A drive source 6 is installed between the two sides of the passage chamber 1 and above the storage chamber 3. Three sets of baffles 7 are installed at equal intervals on the rotating end of the drive source 6. A blocking cavity 8 is opened on the top of the passage chamber 1 and on the side near the baffles 7 so that the baffles 7 can pass through. A door is detachably installed on the end of the passage chamber 1 away from the baffles 7. The door can also be set on the top of the passage chamber 1. The baffles 7 block the entrance of the passage chamber 1, thus blocking the chicken inside the passage chamber 1.

[0026] The rotary drive assembly 4 includes a motor frame 41 welded to the channel chamber 1 and a shaft block 44, and the material plate 2 is rotatably mounted on the top of the shaft block 44.

[0027] A second drive motor 42 is mounted on the top of the motor frame 41, and the drive end of the second drive motor 42 is located below the motor frame 41. The drive end of the second drive motor 42 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 43, and the bottom end of the rotating shaft 43 is fixed to the top of the material plate 2.

[0028] During use, the chickens' instinctive attraction to feed is used to guide them into the interior of the passage chamber 1, greatly reducing the disturbance to the flock during the capture operation. This effectively avoids the disturbance, stress, and injury caused by traditional capture methods. At the same time, this device can be operated at any time, and once the chickens enter the passage chamber 1, the baffle 7 will prevent them from flowing back and escaping from the passage chamber 1, significantly improving the success rate and efficiency of capture and saving a lot of manpower and time costs.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] Referring to Figures 1-2, this is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that: the drive source 6 includes two lifting structures 61 respectively installed on both sides of the channel compartment 1. A first drive motor 62 is installed on the top of the movable end of one lifting structure 61. The drive end of the first drive motor 62 is fixedly connected to a horizontal shaft 63, and a stop bar 7 is welded to the horizontal shaft 63. Movable cavities for the horizontal shaft 63 to pass through are opened on both sides of the top of the channel compartment 1, allowing the horizontal shaft 63 to move vertically.

[0031] Another lifting structure 61 has a shaft bracket 64 fixed at the top of its drive end, and the shaft bracket 64 is rotatably connected to the end of the horizontal shaft 63 away from the first drive motor 62 via a rotating shaft mounted thereon.

[0032] The lifting structure 61 includes a fixed vertical plate 611 fixed on the channel compartment 1. An electric telescopic rod 612 is installed on the fixed vertical plate 611 through a fixed sleeve. The movable end of the electric telescopic rod 612 is fixedly connected to a support platform 613.

[0033] During use, the door is disassembled, and the outlet end of the passage chamber 1 is aligned with the inlet end of the chicken cage. The continuous rotation of the feed plate 2 lures the chickens into the interior of the passage chamber 1, and the inlet is blocked by the baffle 7 to prevent the chickens from flowing back. This also facilitates the chickens returning to the cage to rest at night. Furthermore, the extension of the electric telescopic rod 612 raises the horizontal axis 63 upward, causing the baffle 7 to detach from the interior of the passage chamber 1, making it easier for the chickens to pass through the passage chamber 1 and leave the chicken cage during the day.

[0034] The remaining structure is the same as that in Example 1.

[0035] Based on embodiments 1-2, the working principle of this utility model is as follows: feed is placed in the storage chamber 3 to lure chickens to approach the passage chamber 1 to eat. While the chickens are eating, the second drive motor 42 drives the rotating shaft 43 to rotate, slowly rotating the feed plate 2 into the interior of the passage chamber 1. The chickens follow the feed plate 2 to move and hunt, and will enter the interior of the passage chamber 1 accordingly. As the feed plate 2 continues to go deeper into the interior of the passage chamber 1, the chickens will also go deeper into the inner cavity of the passage chamber 1 in sync.

[0036] When the feed plate 2 rotates toward the inside of the channel chamber 1, the first drive motor 62 will also drive the horizontal shaft 63 to rotate synchronously. The baffle 7 will block the entrance of the channel chamber 1, trapping the chicken inside. At this time, the door of the channel chamber 1 can be opened to quickly capture the chicken from the channel chamber 1.

[0037] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
