Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a chicken breeding cage, specifically a chicken breeding cage with adjustable functions. Background Technology
[0002] Chickens are a highly valuable poultry breed, primarily producing eggs and meat, with byproducts including feathers and droppings. Eggs are rich in nutrients, while chicken meat is relatively low in fat, high in lean meat, and rich in high-quality protein, making it a widely recognized and popular food source. To meet demand, large-scale breeding of chickens is necessary, often using selective breeding cages. The Shimian Caoke chicken, originating from Caoke Township, Shimian County, Ya'an City, Sichuan Province, is a large, flavorful, dual-purpose (egg and meat) local breed, and a crucial resource for developing modern high-quality broiler chickens. In the selective breeding of Shimian Caoke chickens, the focus is on improving the growth performance of roosters and increasing egg production in hens to provide more hatching eggs.
[0003] Although existing breeding cages can be used to house breeding chickens, a lot of manure is produced during the breeding process. After the manure dries, it may become difficult to clean. When operators clean the dried manure, it takes more time, which increases time costs and labor intensity. In addition, the residual manure may easily breed bacteria, which may make the breeding chickens susceptible to disease, thus affecting their reproduction.
[0004] A search revealed a patent document with publication number CN 221355348 U, which discloses a breeding cage for chickens. The cage includes a support rod, a box fixedly connected to the top of the support rod, and a breeding cage body fixedly connected to the top of the box. The bottom of the breeding cage body has filter holes that communicate with the inner cavity of the box. A pull-out box is located at the bottom of the box. A cleaning mechanism is installed within the inner cavity of the box, comprising a device box and a water tank. The device box is fixedly connected to the right side of the box, the water tank is fixedly connected to the rear side, and a servo motor is fixedly connected to the front side of the device box. This breeding cage uses a nozzle to evenly spray cleaning water into the inner cavity of the box. Activating the servo motor drives a brush to clean the feces within the inner cavity of the box, and the feces are then flushed through a slot into the inner cavity of the pull-out box, thus completing the cleaning of feces and preventing bacterial growth due to untimely cleaning, solving the problem of untimely feces cleaning.
[0005] Based on the search of the above information, it can be seen that although the existing technology can conveniently clean up the manure, there is only one breeding cage body. When breeding a large number of chicks, there is a problem of insufficient space. Therefore, a new type of chicken breeding cage with adjustable function is proposed to optimize the existing technology. Utility Model Content

A matching receiving cylinder 31 is placed on the tray 30. The tray 30 supports the receiving cylinder 31, so that the receiving cylinder 31 can be easily removed and tilted.
[0037] Chicken manure and other impurities are collected below the chicken breeding cage 8 via a conveyor belt 29. The conveyor belt 29 is driven by an electric roller 13, and the surface of the conveyor belt 29 is cleaned by a scraper 28. The impurities are collected by a receiving cylinder 31, which facilitates the cleaning and collection of impurities.
[0038] The chicken breeding cage 8 includes a cage body 32, a perforated plate 33 fixedly connected to the bottom of the cage body 32, and a cage cover 34 adapted to the top of the cage body 32. One side of the cage cover 34 is hinged to the cage body 32 by a hinge, and a third hand-tightening bolt 35 passes through the other side of the cage cover 34. The third hand-tightening bolt 35 is inserted into the cage body 32 and threadedly connected to the cage body 32. The cage cover 34 has a round hole for the third hand-tightening bolt 35 to pass through, and the cage body 32 has a threaded hole for the third hand-tightening bolt 35 to be threadedly connected. A feed box 36 and a water box 37 are fixedly connected inside the cage body 32 and located at the edge of the perforated plate 33.
[0039] The chicks are isolated by the cage body 32, the perforated plate 33 and the cage cover 34, and fed by the feed box 36 and the water box 37.
[0040] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0041] When in use, it is necessary to extend the movable frame 2 outward and move the adjusting roller 17 inward. At this time, the chicken breeding cage 8 is placed above the movable frame 2 and the base frame 1, so that the slot 10 on the bracket 9 is locked on the base frame 1 and the movable frame 2. Then, the first hand-tightened bolt 11 is rotated and inserted into the corresponding first insertion hole 7 to fix the chicken breeding cage 8. At the same time, the movable frame 2 and the base frame 1 are fixed to each other. Then, the position of the adjusting roller 17 is adjusted synchronously, and the second hand-tightened bolt 22 is inserted into the second insertion hole 23 to form a fixed position. At this time, water and feed can be added to the feed box 36 and the water box 37, and chicks can be bred through the chicken breeding cage 8. At this time, impurities fall through the perforated plate 33 onto the conveyor belt 29 and are collected. After a period of time, the electric roller 13 is started, the conveyor belt 29 is rotated, and the impurities on the surface of the conveyor belt 29 are scraped off by the scraper 28 and fall into the receiving cylinder 31 for collection.
