Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of breeding cage technology, and in particular to a breeding cage for laying hens with protective functions. Background Technology
[0002] In the process of raising egg-laying breeder chickens, the breeding cage is the core facility. It is used to raise egg-laying breeder chickens in a centralized manner, providing them with space for roosting, feeding, and laying eggs. It has a significant impact on the growth, reproduction, and breeding efficiency of egg-laying breeder chickens.
[0003] In traditional farming models, some cages simply prioritize capacity, resulting in haphazard vertical space planning and wasted space, making them unsuitable for large-scale, high-efficiency farming. Other cages attempt to divide the space into multiple layers using fixed partitions, which improves space utilization to some extent. However, once the partitions are installed, their fixed height makes it difficult to easily change the height of the layers when dealing with laying hens at different growth stages (such as chicks and adult hens, which have different height requirements) or when flexibly adjusting the layout according to stocking density. This hinders daily feeding management, equipment maintenance, and other operations, making them inconvenient to use and impractical. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the problems of existing traditional egg-laying chicken breeding cages, such as inefficient vertical space planning leading to idle waste, or the inability to easily adjust the height of fixed partitions and layers, which affect feeding management and maintenance, are inconvenient to use, and have poor practicality, this utility model is proposed.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a protective layer chicken breeding cage, including a chicken cage, wherein a number of sets of fixing mechanisms are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the chicken cage, and a mesh plate and a collection plate are arranged vertically between each set of symmetrically arranged fixing mechanisms, and a disinfection component is provided inside the chicken cage on the outside of the mesh plate and the collection plate.
[0006] The fixing mechanism includes two slide rails arranged side by side, and the slide rails are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the chicken cage. Slide plates are slidably installed in the slide rails. The two upper slide plates are fixedly connected to the mesh plate, and the two lower slide plates are fixedly connected to the collection plate. A guide groove is opened on the top of the collection plate, and a cavity is opened inside the front end of the slide plate. A torsion bar is rotatably installed in the cavity, and one end of the torsion bar extends to the outside of the slide plate and is connected to a handle.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the fixing mechanism further includes a torsion spring, which is sleeved on the outside of the torsion bar and located inside the cavity. The two ends of the torsion spring are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cavity and the torsion bar, respectively. A locking rod is connected to one end of the torsion bar located on the outside of the slide plate. A limiting frame adapted to the locking rod is provided at the lower front end of the slide rail, and the lower end of the locking rod is located inside the limiting frame.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment, a water spray pipe is embedded in the inner wall of the front end of the guide channel, a connector communicating with the water spray pipe is provided at the bottom of the slide plate, a discharge pipe communicating with the guide channel is provided at the end of the collection plate away from the water spray pipe, and one end of the discharge pipe extends to the outside of the chicken cage, a guide cover is provided on the back of the chicken cage corresponding to the position of the discharge pipe, a collection box communicating with the guide cover is provided below the chicken cage, a water tank is provided on one side of the top of the chicken cage, a pump body is connected to one side of the water tank, a main pipe is connected to the output end of the pump body, and several connecting pipes with valves are connected to one side of the main pipe, and one end of the connecting pipe is detachably connected to the connector.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. This utility model uses a fixing mechanism. By twisting the handle, the torsion bar rotates and twists the torsion spring. At the same time, the torsion bar moves the locking rod out of the limiting frame, thus releasing the limiting of the slide plate. This allows the mesh plate and collection plate to be detached and removed. The distance between adjacent mesh plates can be adjusted according to usage needs. The mesh plate is then installed in the appropriate position of the slide rail. According to the disassembly steps, the torsion spring helps the locking rod reset and engage inside the limiting frame, completing the installation and fixing of the slide plate. This method improves the utilization rate of the vertical space inside the chicken cage and is more convenient to use.
[0014] 2. This utility model can use a collection plate to guide the collection of feces, discharge it through a discharge pipe and collect it into a collection box. It can also start the pump to deliver water through a spray pipe to flush and clean the guide channel, so as to process and collect the feces.
[0015] 3. This utility model, through the disinfection component, can deliver disinfectant through the pump body and spray it through the disinfection nozzle to the top of each mesh plate in the chicken cage, thereby disinfecting and sterilizing the chicken cage, reducing the spread of pathogenic microorganisms, preventing cross-infection, improving the quality of hatching eggs, optimizing the breeding environment, and playing a protective role.

[0023] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] Reference Figures 1-5 As shown, a protective layer hen breeding cage is provided, including a chicken cage 1. The inner wall of the chicken cage 1 is symmetrically provided with several sets of fixing mechanisms, and each set of symmetrically arranged fixing mechanisms is provided with a mesh plate 4 and a collection plate 5 distributed vertically between them. A disinfection component is provided inside the chicken cage 1 on the outside of the mesh plate 4 and the collection plate 5. The position of the mesh plate 4 and the collection plate 5 can be flexibly adjusted through the fixing mechanisms to improve space utilization. The disinfection component can disinfect the chicken cage, protect the health of the flock, and improve breeding efficiency.
[0025] The fixing mechanism includes two parallel slide rails 2, which are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the chicken cage 1. Slide plates 3 are slidably installed inside the slide rails 2. The upper two slide plates 3 are fixedly connected to the mesh plate 4, and the lower two slide plates 3 are fixedly connected to the collection plate 5. The top of the collection plate 5 is provided with a guide channel 6, and the front end of the slide plate 3 is provided with a chamber 24. A torsion bar 7 is rotatably installed inside the chamber 24, and one end of the torsion bar 7 extends to the outside of the slide plate 3 and is connected to a handle. This facilitates the flexible disassembly and installation of the mesh plate 4 and the collection plate 5, and allows for adjustment of the vertical space layout inside the chicken cage according to needs, meeting different breeding scenarios.
[0026] In this example, the fixing mechanism also includes a torsion spring 8, which is sleeved on the outside of the torsion bar 7 and located inside the chamber 24. The two ends of the torsion spring 8 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the chamber 24 and the torsion bar 7, respectively. A locking rod 9 is connected to one end of the torsion bar 7 on the outside of the slide plate 3. A limiting frame 10 adapted to the locking rod 9 is provided at the lower front end of the slide rail 2. The lower end of the locking rod 9 is located inside the limiting frame 10. By using the structure of the torsion spring 8 and the locking rod 9, the slide plate 3 can be quickly fixed and disassembled. The operation is simple and the fixing is stable.
[0027] In this example, a water spray pipe 11 is embedded in the inner wall of the front end of the guide channel 6. A connector 19 communicating with the water spray pipe 11 is provided at the bottom of the slide plate 3. A discharge pipe 12 communicating with the guide channel 6 is provided at the end of the collection plate 5 away from the water spray pipe 11, and one end of the discharge pipe 12 extends to the outside of the chicken cage 1. A guide cover 13 is provided on the back of the chicken cage 1 corresponding to the position of the discharge pipe 12. A collection box 14 communicating with the guide cover 13 is provided below the chicken cage 1. A water tank 15 is provided on one side of the top of the chicken cage 1. A pump body 16 is connected to one side of the water tank 15. A main pipe 17 is connected to the output end of the pump body 16. Several connecting pipes 18 with valves are connected to one side of the main pipe 17, and one end of the connecting pipe 18 is detachably connected to the connector 19. This realizes automatic collection of manure and automatic flushing of the guide channel 6, keeping the chicken cage clean, reducing the amount of manual cleaning work, and improving breeding efficiency.
[0028] In this example, the slide rail 2 has a C-shaped cross section, the limit frame 10 has an L-shaped structure, and the connecting pipe 18 is a flexible hose; the C-shaped slide rail 2 and the L-shaped limit frame 10 have good compatibility and are reliably fixed; the flexible hose is easy to connect and disassemble, and convenient for maintenance.
[0029] In this example, the disinfection component includes a storage tank 20, a pump body 21 connected to one side of the storage tank 20, and a plurality of disinfection spray pipes 23 connected to the output end of the pump body 21 through a diversion pipe 22. The plurality of disinfection spray pipes 23 are arranged in a rectangular distribution and are embedded in the inner wall of the chicken cage 1; it can disinfect the inside of the chicken cage, reduce pathogenic microorganisms, prevent diseases in the flock, and ensure the safety of breeding.
[0030] In this example, the outer wall of the chicken cage 1 is symmetrically provided with several ventilation slots, and the disinfection spray pipe 23 is located between adjacent ventilation slots; the reasonable layout of the ventilation slots and disinfection spray pipe 23 ensures both air circulation in the chicken cage and disinfection without dead corners.
[0031] During use, the vertical space adjustment principle is as follows: When it is necessary to adjust the vertical space layout inside the chicken cage 1, twisting the handle drives the torsion bar 7 to rotate. The rotation of the torsion bar 7 will twist the torsion spring 8. At the same time, the torsion bar 7 drives the locking rod 9 to move out of the limiting frame 10, thereby releasing the limitation on the slide plate 3. At this time, the mesh plate 4 and the collection plate 5 can be removed from the slide rail 2. According to the actual needs, the mesh plate 4 is installed in the slide rail 2 at the appropriate position. After releasing the handle, the torsion spring 8 resets and drives the torsion bar 7 to rotate, so that the locking rod 9 is re-locked into the inside of the limiting frame 10, completing the installation and fixing of the slide plate 3, and realizing the flexible use of the vertical space inside the chicken cage 1.
[0032] Manure treatment principle: The manure produced by the laying hens falls onto the collection plate 5 and is guided by the guide channel 6 at the top of the collection plate 5. The manure is discharged from the chicken cage 1 through the discharge pipe 12 and enters the collection box 14 through the guide cover 13 to complete the collection. When it is necessary to clean the guide channel 6, the pump body 16 is started. Water in the water tank 15 is sprayed from the spray pipe 11 through the pump body 16, the main pipe 17, the connecting pipe 18 and the connector 19 to rinse the guide channel 6 and ensure that the collection plate 5 is kept clean.
[0033] Disinfection principle: When pump body 21 is activated, the disinfectant in the storage tank 20 is delivered to each disinfection spray pipe 23 through pump body 21 and the diversion pipe 22. The disinfection spray pipe 23 sprays the disinfectant evenly onto the mesh plates 4 inside the chicken cage 1, disinfecting and sterilizing the inside of the chicken cage 1 in all directions, reducing pathogenic microorganisms and ensuring the health of the chickens.
