Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of egg-laying buffer bottom plates, specifically a chicken cage egg-laying behavior sensing buffer bottom plate structure. Background Technology

[0002] Chicken cage egg production adopts a modular design and achieves efficient egg production through scientific zoning. The cage body is usually welded with galvanized steel wire. The system is equipped with lighting and temperature control devices. However, traditional chicken cage egg production systems generally adopt a rigid inclined bottom plate combined with egg collection belt design, which has technical pain points such as high egg breakage rate and high egg production stress.

[0003] The existing egg-laying sensor-activated buffer plates still have the following problems in actual use:

[0004] While it can cushion the eggs during laying, its protective performance is still relatively poor. It cannot provide safer protection when the eggs fall, which reduces its safety and effectiveness in practice. Furthermore, it cannot automatically open and close the protective plate after the eggs fall, which reduces its ease of operation and hinders its widespread adoption.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model introduces a chicken cage egg-laying behavior sensing buffer bottom plate structure. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a chicken cage structure with an egg-laying behavior sensing buffer bottom plate, which has the advantages of protecting the eggs from falling during laying and automatically opening and closing the protective plate, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background technology.

[0007] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a chicken cage egg-laying behavior sensing buffer bottom plate structure, including a chicken cage and a buffer bottom plate. A protective mechanism is provided on the right side of the buffer bottom plate. The protective mechanism includes a sliding block, a connecting spring, a telescopic rod, and an elastic pad. The left side of the sliding block is fixedly installed with the right side of the buffer bottom plate. A buffer groove is opened on the left side of the chicken cage. The outer surface of the sliding block is slidably connected with the inner wall of the buffer groove. One end of the telescopic rod is fixedly installed with the bottom of the sliding block. One end of the connecting spring is fixedly installed with the bottom of the sliding block.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This type of chicken cage features an egg-laying behavior-sensing buffer bottom plate structure. Through the use of a buffer bottom plate, sliding block, buffer groove, connecting spring, and telescopic rod, when an egg moves to the upper surface of the buffer bottom plate, it is sensed and the connecting spring and telescopic rod are compressed, automatically sensing and buffering the egg to achieve safe egg collection.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] 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.

[0022] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0023] The core application of the egg-laying behavior-sensing buffer floor of chicken cages is in intensive egg-laying farms, especially suitable for addressing safety and efficiency improvement issues during egg production in high-density environments. Traditional chicken cages, due to their rigid floor panels, are prone to problems such as high egg breakage rates and strong stress responses in the flock.

[0024] This technology integrates intelligent buffering and a fully automatic opening and closing design to create a highly efficient and safe egg-laying system for chicken cages. A buffer base plate with sliding blocks and springs is installed on the left side of the cage. When an egg falls, the springs compress to achieve double shock absorption, and the bottom elastic pads and anti-slip bumps further protect the eggshell. On the right side, a rotating hinge connects to a movable plate, forming an automatic egg-drop channel. After laying, the movable plate immediately opens to guide the egg into the buffer zone, and automatically closes to prevent contamination. Internal partitions reduce stress on the chickens, while top baffles and external protective frames ensure a stable environment. Compared to traditional rigid base plates, this design reduces egg breakage by more than 50% and requires no frequent manual intervention, balancing production efficiency and animal welfare, and meeting the needs of modern farming scenarios.

[0025] This device is like installing a "smart egg-catching system" in a chicken coop, primarily solving the problems of eggs easily breaking and chickens being startled by traditional coops. It consists of four parts: First, a "spring-loaded cushioning pad"—when an egg falls, it triggers the springs and soft pads under the base plate to compress instantly, absorbing shock like a sponge pad and a spring mattress, with small bumps on the surface to prevent the egg from rolling around; second, an "automatic door opening and closing"—when the egg slides out of the coop, it pushes open a movable plate, and the door automatically closes after the egg falls, preventing dust and chickens from pecking at the egg; the inside of the coop is divided into small individual compartments by partitions to reduce chickens fighting, and a baffle is added at the top to prevent chickens from flying out; finally, there is a "small step" (cushioning baffle) at the end of the buffer zone, which can catch the egg if it doesn't slide accurately. The entire process is automated—the egg is gently caught by the springs and soft pads, then slides down an automatic slide into the collection area, and finally comes to rest steadily at the baffle. This protects the egg from breaking, allows the chickens to lay eggs in peace, and saves the trouble of manual egg collection.

[0026] Traditional chicken coops have hard metal bars on the bottom, making eggs feel like they're hitting a rock when they fall. Combined with the friction from the egg-collecting belt, the shells easily break, and the chickens, huddled together, are easily startled, leading to a decrease in egg production. This new technology is like giving the coop a "breathing mattress": the cushioning bottom panel contains springs and soft padding. When an egg is hit, the springs compress, dissipating the impact like stepping on a trampoline. The uneven surface with small bumps also helps to hold the egg in place, preventing it from rolling around. The automatic door opens and closes using leverage; when an egg slides out, it's like pushing a door handle, lifting the movable panel, and the door automatically springs back after the egg falls, preventing dust and chickens from pecking at the egg. The entire coop is also divided into small individual compartments with partitions to reduce fighting, and a top baffle prevents chickens from flying out. Physically, the compression and rebound of the springs convert the kinetic energy of the falling egg into elastic potential energy, which is then slowly released, much like a car's shock absorbers transforming bumps into smooth up-and-down motion. The friction and raised design of the cushioning pads, like tire treads, increase grip and reduce impact when the egg slides.

[0027] This technology addresses the technical bottlenecks of traditional chicken cage egg-laying systems, such as rigid bottom plates leading to eggshell breakage, increased friction damage from egg collection belts, frequent manual intervention, and significant stress responses in chickens. It proposes an innovative integrated dynamic buffering and adaptive protection solution. Through a spring-elastic pad composite structure built into the buffer bottom plate, combined with the frictional damping characteristics of the buffer protrusions, multi-level dissipation and dynamic balance of the egg's falling kinetic energy are achieved. The pioneering rotating rod-moving plate linkage mechanism, employing lever principles and a self-resetting design, completes the opening and closing of the channel instantaneously upon egg triggering, avoiding the risk of electronic malfunctions compared to electric opening and closing devices relying on external sensors. The modular cage design uses partitions to separate feeding units and baffles to restrict the range of movement, combined with a top protective structure, to construct a three-dimensional safety protection system. This technology, through biomimetic optimization of the mechanical structure and functional integration, solves the core defects of traditional solutions, such as insufficient passive protection, lack of active control, and inefficient human-machine interaction, providing a highly reliable and low-maintenance intelligent upgrade path for intensive farming scenarios.

[0028] Please see Figure 3 A chicken cage structure with an egg-laying behavior sensing buffer base includes a chicken cage 1 and a buffer base 5. A protective mechanism 16 is provided on the right side of the buffer base 5. The protective mechanism 16 includes a sliding block 6, a connecting spring 8, a telescopic rod 9, and an elastic pad 18. The left side of the sliding block 6 is fixedly installed to the right side of the buffer base 5. A buffer groove 7 is provided on the left side of the chicken cage 1. The outer surface of the sliding block 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the buffer groove 7. One end of the telescopic rod 9 is fixedly installed to the bottom of the sliding block 6, and one end of the connecting spring 8 is fixedly installed to the bottom of the sliding block 6. The upper surface of the elastic pad 18 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the buffer base plate 5. One end of the connecting spring 8 is fixedly connected to the inside of the buffer groove 7. One end of the telescopic rod 9 is fixedly connected to the inside of the buffer groove 7. A buffer baffle 11 is fixedly installed on the right side inside the buffer base plate 5. Multiple sets of buffer protrusions 10 are provided on the upper surface of the buffer base plate 5. Through the use of the sliding block 6, the connecting spring 8, the telescopic rod 9 and the elastic pad 18, a safer effect can be achieved when collecting eggs, improving safety in practice and enhancing the actual use effect.

[0029] Please see Figure 4A control closing mechanism 17 is provided on the left side of the chicken cage 1. The control closing mechanism 17 includes a rotating rod 13, a connecting block 14, and a movable plate 15. An egg dropping groove 12 is provided on the left side of the chicken cage 1. The outer surface of the rotating rod 13 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the chicken cage 1. The inner surface of the connecting block 14 is fixedly installed to the outer surface of the rotating rod 13. The right side of the movable plate 15 is fixedly connected to the left side of the connecting block 14. Both sides of the movable plate 15 are in contact with the inner wall of the chicken cage 1. By using the rotating rod 13, the connecting block 14, the movable plate 15, and the egg dropping groove 12, a faster egg dropping effect can be achieved, and the convenience in practice is improved, which is conducive to its promotion and use in practice.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A top frame 2 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the chicken cage 1, a baffle 3 is fixedly installed on the right side of the chicken cage 1, and a partition 4 is fixedly installed inside the chicken cage 1. By using the baffle 3 and the partition 4, the mixing of chickens can be avoided during egg production, thus improving the actual egg production effect.

[0031] Working principle: During use, when eggs are dropped, they fall out of the chicken coop 1 through the egg dropping groove 12 on the left side of the coop 1. When the eggs fall out of the coop 1, they are subject to their own gravity. Then, the rotating rod 13 inside the coop 1 rotates the connecting block 14 and the movable plate 15 fixedly installed on the left side of the connecting block 14, thus separating the eggs from the inside of the coop 1. After the eggs leave the inside of the coop 1, the rotating rod 13 automatically restores the connecting block 14 and the movable plate 15 fixedly installed on the left side of the connecting block 14, so that the movable plate 15 is aligned with the inside of the chicken coop 1.

[0032] After the eggs leave the chicken coop 1, they first pass over the surface of the buffer base plate 5, where the buffer protrusions 10 are set, providing initial cushioning. The eggs' own weight causes the buffer base plate 5 to descend. As the buffer base plate 5 descends, the outer surface of the sliding block 6 fixed on the right side of the buffer base plate 5 slides against the inner wall of the buffer groove 7, simultaneously compressing the connecting spring 8 and the telescopic rod 9, thus providing further cushioning. The bottom of the buffer base plate 5 can also be compressed on the upper surface of the elastic pad 18, providing double cushioning as the eggs fall. This sensor-based cushioning operation ensures that the eggs are properly protected when they reach the left side of the buffer base plate 5. Finally, the buffer baffle 11 provides final protection, resulting in greater safety during egg laying.
