Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of animal husbandry technology, and specifically relates to a cleaning device for the feed tray of chicks. Background Technology

[0002] In the large-scale breeding of poultry (such as chicks and ducklings), the initial feeding tray is an important tool for chicks to obtain feed in the early stages. The design of the initial feeding tray usually conforms to the chicks' eating habits, making it easy for breeders to observe and manage the chicks' feeding situation and promptly identify and address any problems. Through feeding from the initial feeding tray, the chicks' digestive system gradually adapts to solid food, promoting the development and functional improvement of the gastrointestinal tract and enhancing digestive capacity. However, because chick feed often contains easily perishable substances such as oils and proteins, and chick activity can cause feed residue, feces, and other contaminants to adhere to the inner wall of the tray, these residues and feces can easily breed pathogenic bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella, leading to diseases such as pullorum disease and intestinal infections in chicks. If feed residue becomes moldy, it can produce mycotoxins, causing digestive system diseases such as proventriculitis and gizzard inflammation. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the initial feeding tray regularly to prevent bacterial growth, ensure the health of the chicks, and maintain a good breeding environment.

[0003] Currently, the common method for cleaning feed trays for chicks mainly relies on manual brushing or rinsing, which is labor-intensive and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for cleaning feed trays for chicks.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following measures: a poultry feed tray cleaning device, characterized in that it includes two symmetrically arranged support frames, a cylindrical skeleton arranged between the two support frames, and a rotating shaft concentrically connected to the skeleton. The two ends of the rotating shaft are rotatably arranged on the support frames. Cleaning cages are symmetrically arranged inside the skeleton and on both sides of the rotating shaft. A drain pipe is arranged at the lower part of one side between the two support frames, and an upper water pipe is arranged at the upper part of the other side. The axes of the upper and lower water pipes are flush with the axis of the rotating shaft. Both the upper and lower water pipes are provided with nozzles facing the cleaning cages. The upper and lower water pipes are connected to a water source through connecting pipes and a water pump.

[0006] Each of the cleaning cages is equipped with a cage door.

[0007] Furthermore, the cleaning cage includes a bottom plate, arc-shaped end plates symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom plate, and arc-shaped side plates connecting the bottom plate and the two arc-shaped end plates. The arc-shaped end plates and arc-shaped side plates are concentrically arranged with the frame and fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame. The arc-shaped side plates and arc-shaped end plates are mesh structures or filter plates with several holes.

[0008] The bottom plates of the two cleaning cages are parallel to each other and spaced apart. The arc-shaped end plates and arc-shaped side plates are generally fixed to the inner wall of the frame by welding. The bottom plates are used to support the material tray, and the arc-shaped end plates and arc-shaped side plates are designed to be concentric with the frame and adopt a mesh or perforated plate structure to ensure that water can flow unimpeded into the cage to rinse the material tray and discharge wastewater (filtration function). The welding fixing method ensures the firmness of the connection between the cleaning cage and the frame and the strength of the overall structure.

[0009] Furthermore, a rectangular opening is provided on the base plate along the axis of the rotating shaft. The cage door that blocks the rectangular opening is rotatably mounted on the base plate via a hinge. The rectangular opening is located on one side of the rotating shaft, and the gap between the two base plates allows the cage door to be opened. The length of the rectangular opening is generally slightly smaller than the length of the base plate, which facilitates the removal of the material tray.

[0010] The movable side of the cage door is fixed to the frame or cleaning cage via connectors. The cage door is a single piece of board without any holes. The cage door is typically secured using existing locks or by binding wire, and has through holes for the binding wire to pass through. The cage door is mounted on the base plate, near the pivot point, with both cage doors facing the central gap. This provides ample operating space when opening the cage door (flipping towards the central gap), facilitating the insertion and removal of the material tray and significantly improving operational convenience. The use of hinges and locks / binding wires results in a simple and practical structure.

[0011] Furthermore, the frame includes two symmetrically arranged rings and several support rods connecting the two rings. The support rods are all arranged around the periphery of the cleaning cage, and the rings are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft by several radial rods.

[0012] Furthermore, the support frame includes a mounting base and support legs symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting base. The rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the mounting base through a bearing seat. Both ends of the drain pipe pass through the two support legs on the same side. The sealed end of the drain pipe is fixed by a nut, and the open end of the drain pipe is connected to the connecting pipe by a threaded connection.

[0013] On the other side, two support legs are equipped with uprights. The two ends of the water supply pipe pass through the two uprights. The sealed end of the water supply pipe is fixed by a nut, and the open end of the water supply pipe is connected to the connecting pipe by a threaded connection.

[0014] Furthermore, an auxiliary support leg is fixedly provided on the outer side of the mounting base, and a reinforcing rod is provided between the upright and the support leg.

[0015] Furthermore, either end of the rotating shaft is connected to a motor.

[0016] Furthermore, the cage door is equipped with a handle and several reinforcing ribs.

[0017] Specific usage process:

[0018] Untie the binding wire or lock on the movable side of the cage door. Hold the handle on the cage door and flip it open around the hinge towards the central partition area. Place the feed tray for chicks to be cleaned into the cleaning cage through the rectangular opening on the bottom plate. Depending on the size of the feed tray and the capacity of the cleaning cage, multiple feed trays can be placed in one cage at a time. Flip the cage door back down to cover the rectangular opening. Use binding wire to pass through the through-hole on the cage door and securely tie it to the curved side plate of the cleaning cage. Connect the water pump inlet to a water source (such as a tap). Connect the water pump outlet to the open ends of the upper and lower water pipes (threaded connection) via connecting pipes (such as a flexible hose). The nozzle on the upper water pipe should be tilted downwards to spray high-pressure water to clean the feed trays in the upper cleaning cage. The nozzle on the lower water pipe should be tilted upwards to spray high-pressure water to clean the feed trays in the lower cleaning cage.

[0019] If no motor is installed, the frame can be rotated manually. Additionally, the impact of the water jets from the upper and lower nozzles on the cleaning cage can also assist in rotating the frame. The material trays continuously tumble and collide within the cleaning cage (with the cage walls and other material trays), and the dirt is peeled off under the mechanical friction and water impact. If a motor is installed, it can be started to rotate the frame.

[0020] Draining: Keep the frame rotating for a period of time to use centrifugal force to shake off most of the residual water in the tray and cleaning cage, or let it stand to drain.

[0021] The beneficial effects of the technical solution provided by this utility model embodiment are as follows: This device achieves the cleaning of multiple chick feed trays through the design of upper and lower double-pipe spraying and rotating rinsing; the rotation of the cleaning cage causes the feed trays to tumble, and the combination of water flow impact and mechanical friction improves the cleaning effect; the double cleaning cage design supports batch cleaning, improving efficiency. The water flow impact can be assisted by manual driving of the frame rotation or by motor-driven rotation. Attached Figure Description

The cage door 204, which blocks the rectangular opening 205, is rotatably mounted on the base plate 201 via a hinge 206. The rectangular opening 205 is located on one side of the rotating shaft 4. The gap between the two base plates 201 allows the cage door 204 to be opened. The length of the rectangular opening 205 is generally slightly smaller than the length of the base plate 201, which facilitates the removal of the material tray.

[0037] The movable side of the cage door 204 is fixed to the frame 1 or cleaning cage 2 via a connector. The cage door 204 is a single piece of board without any holes. The cage door 204 is generally fixed using existing locks or directly with binding wire, and has through holes 20401 for the binding wire to pass through. The cage door 204 is set on the base plate 201, located near the rotating shaft 4, with both cage doors 204 facing the central gap. This provides ample operating space when opening the cage door 204 (flipping towards the central gap), facilitating the insertion and removal of the material tray and significantly improving operational convenience. The structure is simple and practical, using hinges 206 for connection and locks / binding wire for fixation.

[0044] Untie the binding wire or lock on the movable side of the cage door 204. Hold the handle on the cage door 204 and flip the cage door 204 around the hinge 206 towards the central partition area to open it. Place the feed tray for the chicks to be cleaned into the cleaning cage 2 through the rectangular opening on the bottom plate 201. Depending on the size of the feed tray and the capacity of the cleaning cage 2, multiple feed trays can be placed in one cage at the same time. Flip the cage door 204 back down to cover the rectangular opening. Use binding wire to pass through the through hole 20401 on the cage door 204 and securely tie it to the arc-shaped side plate 203 of the cleaning cage 2. Connect the water pump inlet to a water source (such as a tap water pipe), and connect the water pump outlet to the open ends of the upper water pipe 7 and the lower water pipe 6 respectively (threaded connection) through connecting pipes (such as a hose). The nozzle 8 on the upper water pipe 7 is tilted downward to spray high-pressure water to clean the feed trays in the upper cleaning cage 2.

[0045] The nozzles 8 on the drain pipe 6 tilt upwards to spray high-pressure water to clean the material tray inside the lower cleaning cage 2.
