Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of chicken breeding technology, specifically relating to a feeding trough for laying hens that is easy to clean. Background Technology

[0002] Laying hens are chickens raised specifically to produce eggs. Unlike broiler chickens, the main focus of raising laying hens is to improve egg quality and maintain or increase egg production. Laying hens are raised in high-density cages in chicken houses. When the chickens move around, they easily throw chicken droppings, feathers, and other debris into the feeding troughs. To ensure the feeding troughs are clean and hygienic and reduce disease, farm workers must clean them daily, removing feathers, leftover feed, and droppings. To allow the flock to feed efficiently, long, narrow feeding troughs are fixed to the cages. However, these fixed troughs are difficult for workers to clean, making cleaning time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the problems of fixed, elongated feeding troughs in the prior art being difficult for workers to clean, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient, this utility model provides an easy-to-clean feeding trough for laying hens. A flexible corrugated baffle 5 is installed on both sides of the conveyor belt 4 to form a flexible feeding trough 9. The motor 3 drives the feeding trough 9 to rotate, distributing feed from the fixed-point feeder to the chickens' feeding area, reducing feeding difficulty and lowering the labor intensity of workers. The rotation of the feeding trough 9 by the motor 3 transports chicken feathers, leftover feed, chicken manure, and other debris from the feeding trough 9 to a waste collection hopper 6 for collection and treatment. While the feeding trough 9 rotates, a high-pressure water spray device 7 sprays high-pressure water to clean it, and a high-pressure air blower 8 blows high-pressure air to dry it, ensuring the feeding trough is clean and hygienic, reducing the occurrence of diseases. The operation is simple and quick, effectively reducing manual labor intensity and labor costs, and significantly improving the cleaning efficiency of the feeding trough 9.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: A feed trough for laying hens that is easy to clean mainly includes a frame 1, a transmission roller 2, a motor 3, a conveyor belt 4, a flexible corrugated baffle 5, a waste hopper 6, a high-pressure water spray device 7, and a high-pressure air blowing device 8. The frame 1 is installed on the side of the breeding cage. The conveyor belt 4 is installed on the frame 1 through the transmission roller 2. The motor 3 is installed on the frame 1 and is connected to the transmission roller 2 at the front end. Flexible corrugated baffles 5 are installed on both sides of the conveyor belt 4. The flexible corrugated baffles 5 on both sides and the conveyor belt 4 form a feed trough 9. The end of the conveyor belt 4 is inclined downward. A high-pressure water spray device 7 for cleaning the feed trough 9 is installed at the bottom end of the frame 1. A high-pressure air blowing device 8 for drying the feed trough 9 is installed at the bottom end of the frame 1. The waste hopper 6 is installed on the breeding cage through a support rod 61 and is located at the bottom end of the conveyor belt 4.

[0005] Furthermore, the bottom of the frame 1 is provided with a support wheel 11 for supporting the conveyor belt 4, and the bottom of the frame 1 is provided with a support ear 12, and the support wheel 11 is mounted on the support ear 12 by bearings.

[0006] Furthermore, support rollers 13 for supporting the conveyor belt 4 are evenly installed on the frame 1.

[0007] Furthermore, the high-pressure water spraying device 7 includes a water supply pipe 71 and spray nozzles 72. The water supply pipe 71 is installed on the frame 1, and the spray nozzles 72 are evenly installed on the water supply pipe 71. The spray nozzles 72 spray downwards at an angle along the conveyor belt 4. The water supply pipe 71 is connected to the water supply system inside the chicken house.

[0008] Furthermore, the high-pressure air jetting device 8 includes an air supply pipe 81 and an air nozzle 82. The air supply pipe 81 is installed on the frame 1, and the air nozzles 82 are evenly installed on the air supply pipe 81. The air nozzles 82 spray downwards at an angle along the conveyor belt 4. The air supply pipe 81 is connected to the air supply system inside the chicken house.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0010] This invention enables the distribution of feed from a fixed-point feeder to the chickens' feeding area, reducing the difficulty of feed feeding and lowering the labor intensity of employees. Driven by a motor, chicken feathers, leftover feed, chicken droppings, and other debris in the feeding trough are transported to a waste collection hopper for collection and treatment. While the feeding trough rotates, a high-pressure water sprayer cleans the trough, and a high-pressure air blower dries it, ensuring cleanliness and hygiene, reducing the occurrence of diseases.
