Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of chicken coops, and in particular to an integrated machine for raising chickens in multi-layer cage coops. Background Technology

[0002] A chicken coop is a place where chickens live. Currently, in order to save space, domestic chickens are generally raised in double-layered coops. Feeding troughs are set up in front of the coop, and doors that can be opened and closed are set up on the sides of the coop.

[0003] Existing chicken coops, such as the double-layer chicken coop disclosed in utility model patent application number 202323463476.2, mainly include a frame assembly, an opening and closing door assembly, a feeding assembly, a manure collection assembly, and a moving assembly. The opening and closing door assembly is located on the left side of the frame assembly, the feeding assembly is located at the bottom of the front end of the frame assembly, and the manure collection assembly is located at the bottom of the frame assembly for centralized collection and treatment of debris inside the frame assembly. In use, first hold the crank handle, and then use the crank handle to drive the drive screw to rotate counterclockwise. Since the drive screw is threadedly connected to the moving frame, the drive screw then drives the moving frame to move to the left. During the movement of the moving frame, the chickens inside the coop move to the left. Then hold the handle and use the handle to drive the movable plate upward, thereby opening the chicken coop door and allowing the chickens inside the coop to be taken out.

[0004] However, existing chicken houses are generally tall, making it difficult for staff to observe the upper floors when inspecting feed troughs, water lines, and removing dead chickens during routine inspections. Moreover, most existing chicken houses require staff to clean them, which is very troublesome. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a multi-layer cage chicken coop integrated machine that can not only inspect and monitor chicks at different locations and heights in the chicken coop and feed them in a timely manner, but also wash the chicken coop, saving the trouble of cleaning by staff and ensuring the cleanliness of the chicken coop.

[0006] This utility model discloses an integrated multi-layer cage-raising chicken coop, comprising a chicken coop; it also includes a moving mechanism, a lifting mechanism, a detection mechanism, and a feeding mechanism. The moving mechanism is installed on the chicken coop and drives the detection mechanism to move left and right. The lifting mechanism is installed on the moving mechanism and drives the detection mechanism to move up and down. The detection mechanism is installed on the moving mechanism and patrols the chicken coop. The feeding mechanism is installed on the detection mechanism and supplies water and feed to the detection mechanism. Chicks are placed into the chicken coop for raising. The moving mechanism drives the detection mechanism to move left and right, and the lifting mechanism drives the detection mechanism to move up and down, facilitating the detection mechanism to patrol and monitor chicken coops at different locations. The feeding mechanism delivers water and feed to the detection mechanism, and the detection mechanism delivers feed to the feeding trough and uses clean water to rinse the chicken coop. When a dead chicken is detected, an alarm is triggered and the farmer moves to the designated cage to remove the dead chicken.

[0007] Preferably, the chicken coop includes a main frame, multiple sets of connecting rods, multiple sets of grating panels, multiple sets of feeding troughs, and two sets of guide rails. The bottom of the main frame is connected to the ground, and multiple sets of drainage channels are opened on the main frame. Multiple sets of connecting rods, multiple sets of grating panels, multiple sets of feeding troughs, and two sets of guide rails are all installed on the main frame. The main frame is divided into multiple compartments by multiple sets of connecting rods to facilitate the growth of chicks. Chicken manure and other debris fall into the drainage channels of the main frame through the grating panels. The detection mechanism delivers feed into the feeding troughs for the chicks to eat. The movement of the moving mechanism is guided by the two sets of guide rails.

[0008] Preferably, the moving mechanism includes two sets of positioning frames, multiple sets of drive wheels, a longitudinal beam, a guide column, a slider, a seat, and an alarm light. The two sets of positioning frames are slidably mounted on two sets of guide rails, the multiple sets of drive wheels are mounted on the two sets of positioning frames, the longitudinal beam is installed between the two sets of positioning frames, and a moving groove is opened on the longitudinal beam. The guide column is installed in the moving groove of the longitudinal beam, the slider is slidably mounted on the guide column, the seat is mounted on the slider, and the alarm light is mounted on the slider. The two sets of drive wheels drive the two sets of positioning frames to move along the two sets of guide rails, and the lifting mechanism drives the slider to rise and fall along the guide column, which facilitates the inspection of chicks in different compartments. When the detection mechanism finds a dead chicken, it triggers the alarm light. When the dead chicken is at a higher position, the lifting mechanism drives the slider to automatically descend. After the staff sits on the seat, it lifts the staff to a designated height, making it convenient for the staff to remove the dead chicken for processing.

[0009] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes two sets of traction ropes, two sets of take-up rollers, two sets of first bevel gears, a dual-head motor, two sets of drive shafts, two sets of second bevel gears, and a protective box. The bottom ends of the two sets of traction ropes are connected to the top ends of the slider. The two sets of take-up rollers are rotatably mounted on the longitudinal beam and connected to the top ends of the two sets of traction ropes respectively. The two sets of first bevel gears are respectively mounted on the two sets of take-up rollers. The dual-head motor is mounted on the longitudinal beam. The two sets of drive shafts are also mounted on the dual-head motor. The two sets of second bevel gears are respectively mounted on the two sets of drive shafts and mesh with the two sets of first bevel gears respectively. The protective box is mounted on the longitudinal beam. When the dual-head motor is started, it drives the two sets of drive shafts to rotate. The two sets of drive shafts drive the two sets of second bevel gears to rotate. The two sets of second bevel gears mesh with the two sets of first bevel gears, thereby driving the two sets of take-up rollers to rotate. The two sets of take-up rollers wind up the two sets of traction ropes, and the two sets of traction ropes lift the slider to different heights.

The fixed plate is mounted on the slider, the patrol camera is mounted on the fixed plate, the feed trough is mounted on the fixed plate, and the multiple sets of nozzles are all mounted on the fixed plate. The patrol camera detects the growth of chicks in the main frame, the amount of feed in the feed trough, and the residue on the grating plate. When chicks die, an alarm light is triggered by an electrical signal. When insufficient feed is detected in the feed trough, feed is delivered into the feed trough through the feed trough. When a large amount of residue is detected on the grating plate, multiple sets of nozzles are controlled to spray water to rinse the grating plate.

[0011] Preferably, the feeding mechanism includes a conveying pump, a conveying hose, a first solenoid valve, a water pump, a water conveying hose, a second solenoid valve, and a positioning ring. The bottom end of the conveying pump is connected to the top end of the main frame. The conveying hose is installed on the conveying pump and communicates with the inside of the discharge trough.

The water conveying hose is installed on the water pump and communicates with the inside of multiple sets of nozzles. The second solenoid valve is installed on the water conveying hose. The positioning ring is installed on the longitudinal beam. When insufficient feed is detected in the trough, the inspection camera starts the conveying pump and opens the first solenoid valve via an electrical signal. The conveying pump delivers feed to the discharge trough through the conveying hose. When a large amount of residue is detected on the grating plate, the inspection camera starts the water pump and opens the second solenoid valve via an electrical signal. The water pump delivers clean water to the multiple sets of nozzles through the water conveying hose.
