Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a brooding and raising cage. Background Technology
[0002] When raising chicks in brooding and rearing equipment, the chicks' feeding height varies at different growth stages. Therefore, we need to adjust the height of the feeding hole at the front of the cage using a feeding adjustment plate, and then use a chicken-blocking strap to control excessive gaps, thereby regulating the chicks' feeding height. This not only changes the chicks' feeding height but also ensures that the cage does not have excessive gaps that could cause the chicks to escape. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a brooding cage in which the breeder can adjust the position of the feeding component by adjusting the handle, control the feeding space of the poultry, and ensure that each bird can eat evenly.

[0005] A brooding cage includes a brooding frame, bottom-layer rearing cages installed on both sides inside the brooding frame, intermediate-layer rearing cages installed on both sides inside the brooding frame and located above the bottom-layer rearing cages, upper-layer rearing cages installed at the top inside the brooding frame, and a feed conveying mechanism installed on the brooding frame. The brooding frame includes a frame body, feed troughs installed on both sides of the frame body and distributed at equal intervals, and the brooding frame also includes a feeding adjustment mechanism installed on the side of the frame body and corresponding to each feed trough. The feeding adjustment mechanism includes a plurality of feeding components distributed at equal intervals, adjustment pull plates connecting adjacent feeding components, and adjustment levers inserted from one end of the brooding frame and connected to the adjustment pull plates.
[0006] Preferably, the feeding assembly includes a support structure fixedly installed with the frame, a first feeding adjustment connecting plate supported by the support structure and connected to the adjustment pull plate, and a second feeding adjustment connecting plate supported by the support structure and movably connected to the first feeding adjustment connecting plate.
[0007] Furthermore, the second feeding adjustment connecting plate is connected to the next feeding component through an adjustment pull plate, and can be adjusted in conjunction with the adjustment pull plate.
[0008] Furthermore, the support structure includes an inner support bracket and an outer support bracket that covers the inner support bracket and is fixedly installed to the inner support bracket by bolts.
[0009] Furthermore, the inner support fixing frame and the outer support fixing frame are inverted L-shaped frames, so the upper parts of the inner support fixing frame and the outer support fixing frame are stacked and fixed to the frame body by bolts.
[0010] Preferably, the feed conveying mechanism includes a traveling trolley movably mounted on the frame, and feed hoppers installed on the traveling trolley in a number consistent with the feed troughs, a first drive motor installed at one end of the frame and connected to the traveling trolley via a steel cable, and a second drive motor installed at the other end of the frame and connected to the traveling trolley via a steel cable.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the walking trolley of the feed conveying mechanism moves along the frame under the drive of the motor, distributing the feed in the feed hopper to each feed trough. At the same time, the feeding adjustment mechanism can flexibly adjust the feeding space according to the growth of poultry, ensuring that each poultry can get enough feed. It is suitable for modern, large-scale poultry farms and can effectively improve breeding efficiency and poultry growth quality. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0019] Example
[0020] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a brooding cage includes a brooding frame 1, bottom breeding cages 2 installed on both sides inside the brooding frame 1, middle breeding cages 3 installed on both sides inside the brooding frame 1 and located above the bottom breeding cages 2, upper breeding cages 4 installed at the top inside the brooding frame 1, and a feed conveying mechanism 5 installed on the brooding frame 1.
[0021] The brooding frame 1 includes a frame 11 and feed troughs 12 that are installed on both sides of the frame 11 and are distributed at equal intervals.
[0022] The brooding frame 1 also includes a feeding adjustment mechanism 13 installed on both sides of the frame 11 and corresponding to each feed trough 12. The feeding adjustment mechanism 13 includes a plurality of feeding components 131 distributed at equal intervals, an adjustment pull plate 132 connecting adjacent feeding components 131, and an adjustment lever 133 inserted from one end of the brooding frame 1 and connected to the adjustment pull plate 132.
[0023] The feeding assembly 131 includes a support structure 1311 fixedly installed with the frame 11, a first feeding adjustment connecting plate 1312 supported by the support structure 1311 and connected to the adjustment pull plate 132, and a second feeding adjustment connecting plate 1313 supported by the support structure 1311 and movably connected to the first feeding adjustment connecting plate 1312.
[0024] The second feeding adjustment connecting plate 1313 is connected to the next feeding component 131 through an adjustment pull plate, and is adjusted in conjunction with the adjustment pull plate.
[0025] It should be further explained that both the first feeding adjustment connecting plate 1312 and the second feeding adjustment connecting plate 1313 have triangular portions extending upwards, and strip-shaped grooves inclined to the same side from the triangular portions. Specifically, after the first feeding adjustment connecting plate 1312 and the second feeding adjustment connecting plate 1313 are stacked, the first feeding adjustment connecting plate 1312 is pulled by the adjusting pull plate 132, and the connecting piece passing through the strip-shaped groove drives the second feeding adjustment connecting plate 1313 to move, thereby realizing flexible adjustment of the feeding space. Moreover, the second feeding adjustment connecting plate 1313 can be adjusted by adjusting the next feeding component 131 in conjunction with the adjusting pull plate.
[0026] The support structure 1311 includes an inner support fixing frame 13111 and an outer support fixing frame 13112 that covers the inner support fixing frame 13111 and is fixedly installed to the inner support fixing frame 13111 by bolts.
[0027] The inner support fixing frame 13111 and the outer support fixing frame 13112 are inverted L-shaped frames. Therefore, the upper parts of the inner support fixing frame 13111 and the outer support fixing frame 13112 are stacked and fixed to the frame body 11 by bolts.
[0028] The feed conveying mechanism 5 includes a traveling trolley 51 movably mounted on the frame 11, and feed hoppers 52 installed on the traveling trolley 51 in the same number as the feed troughs 12. A first drive motor 53 is installed at one end of the frame 11 and connected to the traveling trolley 51 by a steel cable, and a second drive motor 54 is installed at the other end of the frame 11 and connected to the traveling trolley 51 by a steel cable. Both the first drive motor 53 and the second drive motor 54 are servo motors equipped with winches to wind up the steel cables.
[0029] Working principle: The feed conveying mechanism uses a motor to drive a walking trolley, which automatically distributes feed to each feed trough, reducing manual operation and improving the efficiency and accuracy of feed distribution. By adjusting the lever, farmers can adjust the position of the feeding components, control the feeding space for poultry, and ensure that each bird can eat evenly.
[0030] In conclusion, the design of this brooding cage is suitable for modern, large-scale poultry farms, and can effectively improve breeding efficiency and poultry growth quality.
