Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of poultry farming equipment, specifically a poultry farming cage with an adjustable ventilation structure. Background Technology

[0002] In poultry farming, cages are one of the core pieces of equipment, and their design directly affects the health of poultry and farming efficiency. Traditional poultry cages mostly use a fixed structure, and their ventilation performance usually relies on the perforations or simple openings in the cage itself. However, this fixed ventilation method is difficult to adapt to changes in demand under different seasons and environmental conditions.

[0003] In poultry farming, ventilation is crucial for ensuring suitable air quality, temperature, and humidity. Especially during hot seasons or in high-density farming environments, good ventilation effectively reduces disease transmission and improves poultry comfort. However, existing cage ventilation systems often lack flexibility and cannot be adjusted to meet specific needs, leading to either insufficient or excessive ventilation in certain situations.

[0004] Because existing cage ventilation designs are mostly static, farmers need to use additional equipment or manually adjust the ventilation to improve conditions when external environmental conditions change. This not only increases operational complexity but may also lead to resource waste or failure to meet the poultry's growth needs in a timely manner. Therefore, how to achieve convenient adjustment of cage ventilation structures has become an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model belongs to the field of poultry farming equipment, and in particular relates to a poultry farming cage with an adjustable ventilation structure.

[0006] In poultry farming, cage design directly impacts poultry health and farming efficiency. Traditional cages typically employ fixed structures, with ventilation performance relying on the cage's perforations or simple openings. However, this fixed ventilation method struggles to adapt to changing seasonal and environmental conditions. In hot seasons or high-density farming environments, insufficient ventilation leads to decreased air quality and increased disease transmission risks; conversely, in cold seasons or low-density farming environments, excessive ventilation can result in excessively low temperatures, affecting poultry comfort and growth efficiency. Because existing cage ventilation designs are mostly static, farmers must use additional equipment or manual adjustments to improve ventilation when external environmental conditions change. This not only increases operational complexity but can also lead to resource waste or failure to meet the poultry's growth needs in a timely manner. Therefore, achieving convenient adjustment of cage ventilation structures has become a pressing issue.

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a poultry farming cage with an adjustable ventilation structure, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0008] This utility model is implemented as follows: a poultry farming cage with adjustable ventilation structure, including a main frame, ventilation components, and a drive box, with the specific structure as follows:

[0009] The main frame is welded from multiple rectangular steel pipes. Fixed plates are provided at the top and bottom of the main frame for installing other components. Slide grooves are opened on the inner walls of both sides of the main frame. The slide grooves extend vertically and the width of the slide grooves matches the thickness of the ventilation components. A drive box is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the main frame. The drive box contains a motor and a transmission device.

[0010] The ventilation assembly includes multiple ventilation plates, each elongated and equipped with a slider at each end. The sliders slide in a groove on the inner wall of the main frame, allowing the ventilation plate to move up and down within the groove. Multiple ventilation holes are evenly distributed on the surface of each ventilation plate, with a diameter between 5mm and 10mm. The spacing between adjacent ventilation plates can be adjusted by the drive housing. A threaded rod runs through the middle of each ventilation plate, with both ends fixed to the inner walls of the main frame via bearings. One end of the threaded rod is connected to a transmission device within the drive housing.

[0011] Preferably, a top cover is fixedly installed on the top of the main frame, and a circular through hole is opened in the center of the top cover. A transparent observation window is nested in the through hole for observing the ventilation inside the cage. A guide plate is provided on both sides of the top cover. The guide plate is arc-shaped, with one end hinged to the top cover and the other end connected to the outer wall of the main frame through a tension spring. When the external wind force is large, the guide plate can automatically adjust the angle to reduce the amount of air entering the cage.

[0012] Preferably, the surface of the ventilation plate is coated with a rust-proof coating with a thickness of 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm to improve the corrosion resistance of the ventilation plate; a filter screen with a mesh size of 40 to 60 is nested inside the ventilation holes of the ventilation plate to block dust and impurities from entering the cage.

[0013] Preferably, a control panel is provided on the outer wall of the drive housing. The control panel integrates a rotary switch and a display screen. The rotary switch is used to adjust the speed of the motor, thereby controlling the moving speed of the ventilation plate. The display screen is used to display the operating status of the motor and the current position of the ventilation plate.

[0014] Preferably, a base is fixedly installed at the bottom of the main frame, and shock-absorbing pads are installed at the four corners of the base. The shock-absorbing pads are made of rubber material and are used to absorb the vibration during the operation of the cage. A drainage hole with a diameter of 20mm is opened in the center of the base to drain the water inside the cage.

[0015] Preferably, the slider of the ventilation plate is provided with a positioning pin, one end of which passes through the slider and contacts the side wall of the slide groove. When the ventilation plate moves to the predetermined position, the positioning pin can be inserted into the positioning hole on the side wall of the slide groove, thereby fixing the position of the ventilation plate.

[0016] The poultry cage with adjustable ventilation structure provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] This invention utilizes a vertically movable ventilation panel, coupled with a gear and linkage transmission system, to achieve precise adjustment of the panel spacing, thus adapting to ventilation needs under different seasons and environmental conditions. The ventilation holes and filter design on the panel surface ensure airflow while effectively preventing dust and impurities from entering the cage, improving air quality. Furthermore, the automatic adjustment function of the deflector plate adjusts the air intake angle according to external wind force, preventing temperature fluctuations inside the cage due to excessive wind. The overall structure is rationally designed and easy to operate, significantly improving the efficiency and comfort of poultry farming. Attached Figure Description

[0022] This utility model provides a poultry farming cage with an adjustable ventilation structure, the overall structure of which is as follows: Figure 1As shown, the cage includes a main frame 1, a ventilation assembly, a top cover 8, and baffles 10. The main frame 1 is welded from multiple rectangular steel pipes, with fixing plates at its top and bottom for mounting other components. Slides 3 are formed on the inner walls of both sides of the main frame 1, extending vertically and matching the thickness of the ventilation plate 2 in the ventilation assembly. A drive housing 4 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the main frame 1, housing a motor and transmission device. A top cover 8 is fixedly mounted on the top of the main frame 1, with a circular through-hole in the center. A transparent observation window 9 is nested within the through-hole for observing the interior of the cage. Baffles 10 are located on both sides of the top cover 8, each baffle 10 being arc-shaped, hinged at one end to the top cover 8, and connected to the outer wall of the main frame 1 via a tension spring at the other end. A base 15 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the main frame 1, with shock-absorbing pads installed at its four corners and a drainage hole 16 in the center of the base 15.

[0023] The ventilation assembly includes multiple ventilation plates 2, each elongated and equipped with a slider 11 at each end. The slider 11 slides into grooves 3 on the inner wall of the main frame 1, allowing the ventilation plate 2 to move up and down within the grooves 3. Multiple ventilation holes 12 are evenly distributed on the surface of the ventilation plate 2, with a diameter between 5mm and 10mm. The spacing between adjacent ventilation plates 2 can be adjusted by a drive mechanism. A threaded rod 5 runs through the center of each ventilation plate 2, with both ends fixed to the inner walls of the main frame 1 via bearings. One end of the threaded rod 5 is connected to a transmission device within the drive housing 4. The surface of the ventilation plate 2 is coated with a rust-proof coating with a thickness of 0.2mm to 0.5mm. A filter screen 13, with a mesh size of 40 to 60, is nested within each ventilation hole 12. A positioning pin 14 is provided on the slider 11 of the ventilation plate 2. One end of the positioning pin 14 passes through the slider 11 and contacts the side wall of the slide groove 3. When the ventilation plate 2 moves to the predetermined position, the positioning pin 14 can be inserted into the positioning hole on the side wall of the slide groove 3 to fix the position of the ventilation plate 2.

[0024] A control panel 17 is provided on the outer wall of the drive housing 4. The control panel 17 integrates a rotary switch and a display screen. The rotary switch is used to adjust the speed of the motor to control the moving speed of the ventilation plate 2. The display screen is used to display the operating status of the motor and the current position of the ventilation plate 2.

[0025] In practical use, the operator first sets the motor speed using the rotary switch on the control panel 17 according to the current environmental conditions and aquaculture needs. After the motor starts, its output shaft drives the power transmission to the threaded rod 5. During the rotation of the threaded rod 5, since the ventilation plate 2 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 5, the ventilation plate 2 will move along the direction of the threaded rod 5. At this time, the movement of the slider 11 causes the ventilation plate 2 to move up and down along the slide groove 3, thereby changing the distance between adjacent ventilation plates 2. When the ventilation plate 2 moves to the predetermined position, the positioning pin 14 on the slider 11 inserts into the positioning hole on the side wall of the slide groove 3 to fix the position of the ventilation plate 2.

[0026] The ventilation holes 12 and filter screen 13 on the surface of the ventilation plate 2 ensure airflow while preventing dust and impurities from entering the cage. The transparent observation window 9 on the top cover 8 allows operators to observe the ventilation inside the cage at any time. The guide plates 10 on both sides of the top cover 8 achieve automatic adjustment via tension springs. When the external wind force is strong, the guide plates 10 rotate around the hinge point under the action of the wind force, thereby changing the air intake angle to reduce the amount of air entering the cage. The shock-absorbing pads on the base 15 absorb the vibration during the operation of the cage, and the drain hole 16 is used to drain the water accumulated inside the cage.

[0027] This invention achieves precise adjustment of the spacing between the ventilation panels 2 through the above structure, adapting to the ventilation needs under different seasons and environmental conditions, while ensuring air quality and improving poultry farming efficiency.

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and implement this utility model, the following supplementary explanation of the operating principle and implementation steps of this utility model is provided in conjunction with specific application scenarios.

[0029] In practical applications, when the ambient temperature is high and enhanced ventilation is required, the operator first sets the motor speed via the control panel 17 on the outer wall of the drive housing 4. The rotary switch on the control panel 17 adjusts the motor's output power, thereby indirectly controlling the movement speed of the ventilation plates 2. After the motor starts, its output shaft drives the threaded rod 5 to rotate, and the rotational motion of the threaded rod 5 is converted into the linear motion of the slider 11 along the slide groove 3. As the slider 11 moves upward along the slide groove 3, it drives the ventilation plates 2 to move upward synchronously, gradually increasing the distance between adjacent ventilation plates 2. At this time, the air circulation area inside the cage increases, and fresh air from outside enters the cage through the ventilation holes 12 on the surface of the ventilation plates 2. Simultaneously, the filter screen 13 blocks the intrusion of dust and impurities, ensuring that the air quality meets the requirements for aquaculture.

[0030] When the ambient temperature is low or the wind is strong, the operator can reduce the motor speed via the control panel 17, causing the ventilation plate 2 to move downwards along the slide 3. As the ventilation plate 2 moves downwards, the distance between adjacent ventilation plates 2 gradually decreases, reducing the airflow area inside the cage and effectively reducing the amount of cold air entering, thus preventing the cage interior temperature from becoming too low. Furthermore, the guide plates 10 on both sides of the top cover 8 automatically rotate around the hinge point under the influence of external wind, changing the air intake angle and further reducing the impact of strong winds on the cage interior environment. The rotation angle of the guide plates 10 is controlled by the elastic force of the tension springs. When the wind weakens, the tension springs return to their original state, and the guide plates 10 automatically reset, ensuring normal ventilation.

[0031] During the movement of the ventilation plate 2, the positioning pin 14 on the slider 11 plays a crucial role. When the ventilation plate 2 moves to the predetermined position, the positioning pin 14 inserts into the positioning hole on the side wall of the slide groove 3, thereby fixing the position of the ventilation plate 2 and preventing displacement of the ventilation plate 2 due to external vibration or airflow impact. This positioning mechanism ensures the stability of the spacing between the ventilation plates 2 and adapts to the ventilation needs under different environmental conditions.

[0032] The design of the base 15 also ensures the stable operation of the cage. The shock-absorbing pads installed at the four corners of the base 15 can absorb the vibration generated during the operation of the cage, avoiding stress reactions to poultry caused by mechanical vibration. At the same time, the drainage hole 16 in the center of the base 15 can drain the water inside the cage in time, keep the inside of the cage dry, and reduce the possibility of bacterial growth.

[0033] Through the above operating principles and implementation steps, this utility model achieves precise adjustment of the spacing between the ventilation plates 2, adapting to ventilation needs under different seasons and environmental conditions. The design of the air vents 12 and filter screen 13 on the surface of the ventilation plates 2 ensures airflow while blocking the entry of dust and impurities, thereby improving the air quality inside the cage. The automatic adjustment function of the guide plate 10 further optimizes the air inlet angle, reducing the impact of external wind on the internal environment of the cage. The overall structure is reasonably designed, easy to operate, and significantly improves the efficiency and comfort of poultry farming.
