Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture equipment technology, specifically a chick basket. Background Technology
[0002] Chick crates, also known as chick turnover crates or chick transport crates, are key tools in poultry farming for transporting and temporarily storing chicks. Their design directly affects transport efficiency and chick survival rates. Currently, chick crates offer some protection against crushing and abrasion. The crates are stackable, buffering pressure from the upper layers and preventing injury from crushing chicks. The bottom has round or star-shaped perforations that allow for ventilation while preventing chicks from getting their claws stuck. To prevent escape and damage, the sidewall mesh gaps are approximately 2cm, balancing ventilation with preventing head entrapment. Raised edges (14-16cm) prevent chicks from jumping out. The multi-layer stacking design saves over 50% of vehicle space, and empty crates can be rotated 180° for stacking, reducing storage and transportation costs. A standard crate (69×49.5×14cm) can hold 80-100 chicks.
[0003] However, it also has design flaws, such as flawed partition design, uneven activity space, which may lead to local crowding and increase the risk of abrasions, trampling and squeezing; insufficient stacking stability, relying on the weight of the basket itself when stacked, which is prone to tilting or collapsing on bumpy roads, requiring additional reinforcement measures. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a chick basket.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a chick basket, comprising a basket body and multiple partition structures disposed within the basket body, the partition structures dividing the basket body into multiple separate cavities, and vertical support strips protruding from the basket body being disposed on the inner side walls of the basket body respectively, the top opening area of the basket body being larger than the bottom area of the basket body, and the top height of the vertical support strips being lower than the top opening height of the basket body, so that the bottom edge of the upper basket body is just supported on the upper end of the vertical support strip at the top opening of the lower basket body.
[0006] Furthermore, the four sides of the basket are provided with vertical elongated ventilation holes, the partition structure is provided with multiple rows of vertically arranged strip ventilation holes, and the bottom of each cavity is provided with multiple hollowed-out round ventilation holes.
[0007] Furthermore, each cavity has a grid-shaped anti-slip protrusion on the bottom surface of the basket.
[0008] Furthermore, the top opening of the basket is provided with an outwardly bent edge structure, and the lower surface of the edge structure is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the top of the basket by several reinforcing ribs.
[0009] Furthermore, handle structures extending outwards are provided on both sides of the edge structure.
[0010] Furthermore, adjacent cavities are each provided with a partition structure, which is fixedly connected by the top edge. The distance between adjacent partition structures gradually widens from top to bottom to form a breathable space, and the basket and partition structure are integrally injection molded.
[0011] Furthermore, the tops of adjacent partition structures are fixedly connected by multiple connecting ribs, and the connecting ribs and partition structures are integrally formed by injection molding.
[0012] Furthermore, the vertical support bar is a cylindrical structure that narrows uniformly from bottom to top, with an opening at the bottom and a sealed top.
[0013] Furthermore, each vertical support bar has an inwardly recessed reinforcing groove on the outer wall of the basket, with the depth of the reinforcing groove decreasing from top to bottom and the width increasing from top to bottom.
[0014] Furthermore, each vertical support bar has a partition protruding from the inner wall of the basket at its top, which creates a breathable gap between the bottom edge of the upper basket and the top opening of the lower basket.
[0015] When using this invention, the chicks are placed separately in each cavity, which effectively separates them and prevents them from being trampled or having difficulty breathing due to a large number of chicks being too concentrated. In addition, the bottom edge of the upper basket is supported by the upper end of the vertical support bar at the top opening of the lower basket. The vertical support bar is a cylindrical structure that narrows evenly from bottom to top, with an open bottom and a sealed top. The outer wall of the basket at each vertical support bar is provided with an inwardly recessed reinforcing groove, and the depth of the reinforcing groove gradually decreases from top to bottom while the width gradually increases from top to bottom. This greatly enhances the strength of the vertical support, making it easy to stack multiple of this invention together, and making the stacking more secure.
[0016] Not only are there multiple ventilation holes, but each vertical support bar also has a partition protruding from the inner wall of the basket. The partition creates a ventilation gap between the bottom edge of the upper basket and the top opening of the lower basket, which also allows air to enter from the top gap, effectively improving ventilation and preventing air circulation from being affected by stacking the baskets, thus ensuring that the chicks inside can breathe smoothly.

[0021] Figure 4 This is a reference diagram showing the actual usage state of this utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0022] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a chick basket includes a basket body 1 and multiple partition structures 2 disposed within the basket body 1. The partition structures 2 divide the basket body 1 into multiple separate cavities. For example, if it is divided into four cavities, the partition structures 2 are connected to form a cross shape. Figure 1 As shown, there can also be an even number of 2, 6, 8, etc., but 4 is the most suitable. The inner sidewalls of the basket 1 are respectively provided with vertical support bars 3 protruding from the basket 1. The top opening area of the basket 1 is larger than the bottom area of the basket 1, and the top height of the vertical support bar 3 is lower than the top opening height of the basket 1, so that the bottom edge of the upper basket 1 is just supported on the upper end of the vertical support bar 3 at the top opening of the lower basket 1.
[0023] Specifically: To facilitate ventilation, vertical elongated ventilation holes 4 are provided on the four sides of the basket 1, and multiple rows of vertically arranged strip ventilation holes 5 are provided on the partition structure 2. Multiple hollow round ventilation holes 6 are provided at the bottom of each cavity of the basket 1. A partition block 12 protruding from the inner side wall of the basket 1 is provided at the top of each vertical support bar 3. The partition block 12 creates a ventilation gap between the bottom edge of the upper basket 1 and the top opening of the lower basket 1.
[0024] To achieve an anti-slip effect, each cavity has a grid-shaped anti-slip protrusion 7 on the bottom surface of the basket 1.
[0025] To ensure the overall strength of the basket 1, the top opening of the basket 1 is provided with an outwardly bent edge structure 8. The lower surface of the edge structure 8 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the top of the basket 1 by several reinforcing ribs. On one side of the edge structure 8, there are outwardly extending handle structures 9.
[0026] Each adjacent cavity is provided with a partition structure 2, which is fixedly connected by the top edge. The distance between adjacent partition structures 2 gradually widens from top to bottom to form a breathable space. The basket 1 and the partition structure 2 are integrally molded by injection molding. The height of the upper edge of the partition structure 2 is higher than the top height of the vertical support bar 3. If the partition structure 2 is cross-shaped, the breathable space at the bottom can be locked on the upper edge of the partition structure 2 of the lower basket 1 when stacked, which plays a role in fixing and positioning, and the stacking is more stable.
[0027] The tops of adjacent partition structures 2 are fixedly connected by multiple connecting ribs 10, and the connecting ribs 10 and partition structures 2 are integrally formed by injection molding. The vertical support strip 3 is a cylindrical structure that narrows uniformly from bottom to top. The bottom of the vertical support strip 3 is open and the top is sealed. The outer wall of the basket 1 at each vertical support strip 3 is provided with an inwardly recessed reinforcing groove 11. The depth of the reinforcing groove 11 gradually decreases from top to bottom, while the width gradually increases from top to bottom.
[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using this utility model, the chicks are placed separately in each cavity, which can effectively separate the chicks and prevent problems such as trampling and breathing difficulties caused by a large number of chicks being too concentrated. In addition, the bottom edge of the upper basket 1 is just supported by the upper end of the vertical support bar 3 at the top opening of the lower basket 1. The vertical support bar 3 is a cylindrical structure that narrows evenly from bottom to top, and the bottom of the vertical support bar 3 is open and the top is sealed. The outer wall of the basket 1 at each vertical support bar 3 is provided with an inwardly recessed reinforcing groove 11, and the depth of the reinforcing groove 11 gradually decreases from top to bottom, while the width gradually increases from top to bottom. This greatly enhances the strength of the vertical support bar 3, making it easy to stack multiple of this utility model together, and making the stacking more secure.
[0029] Not only are there multiple ventilation holes, but each vertical support bar 3 also has a partition 12 protruding from the inner wall of the basket 1 at its top. The partition 12 creates a ventilation gap between the bottom edge of the upper basket 1 and the top opening of the lower basket 1, which also facilitates air to enter from the top gap, effectively improving the ventilation effect and preventing air circulation from being affected by the stacking of baskets, thus ensuring that the chicks inside can breathe smoothly.
[0030] The above description is merely an illustrative embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any equivalent changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art without departing from the concept and principles of this utility model should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
