Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of broiler farming equipment, and in particular to an automatic feeding and drinking device for high-rise broiler cages. Background Technology
[0002] High-rise broiler cages are cages specifically designed for broiler farming. They are typically manufactured using spot welding and hot-dip galvanizing techniques, resulting in corrosion resistance and a cage bottom that is less prone to collapse. High-rise broiler cages are usually designed with a 3- or 4-layer overlapping structure, and their design and construction are basically the same as those for layer chicken cages. High-rise broiler cages are widely used in broiler farms, chicken farms, and other livestock farms. Their high-density rearing method can save land, saving about 50% of land compared to free-range farming. In addition, the design of high-rise broiler cages makes centralized management more convenient and reduces the incidence of poultry diseases.
[0003] For example, patent number (CN216363161U) discloses a feed adding device for high-rise chicken cages, including: a feeding mechanism, which includes a horizontally arranged base plate and a feeding cage. A box is installed on the top of the base plate, and the feeding cage is located on the top of the base plate. A first housing is installed on one side of the box. In use, a feed box is installed inside the feeding cage, and a pressure sensor is installed in the feed box. The pressure sensor detects the amount of feed in the feed box. When the feed is insufficient, the weight pressure will decrease. When the pressure is less than the preset value in the DSP controller, the DSP controller controls the electric push rod to start, driving the movable plate to move on the partition, pushing the feed through the third housing into the feed box, thereby completing the feed addition. This feed adding process does not require manual operation by the user, reducing labor, and achieves automatic adding operation through detection and control.
[0004] Currently, the automatic feeding and watering devices for high-rise broiler cages can automatically deliver feed and water to each layer during operation, reducing manual labor. However, it is still necessary to add feed and water at each meal, which is not conducive to improving the convenience of using the automatic feeding and watering devices. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the problem that the automatic feeding and watering devices for high-rise broiler cages still require feeding and watering at each meal, which is not conducive to improving the convenience of equipment use.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: an automatic feeding and drinking device for high-rise broiler cages, including a high-rise broiler cage, an automatic drinking structure and an automatic feeding structure. A water storage tank is fixedly installed on the left side of the upper end of the high-rise broiler cage, and a feed storage box is fixedly installed on the right side of the upper end of the high-rise broiler cage. An installation plate is fixedly installed at the lower end inside the water storage tank, and a connecting slide rod is fixedly installed at the upper end of the installation plate. A pressure sensor is fixedly installed at the upper end of the installation plate on the side of the connecting slide rod. An annular float is provided on the surface of the connecting slide rod, and a sensor base plate is fixedly installed at the lower end inside the feed storage box.
[0007] Preferably, the high-rise chicken cage is mainly composed of wire mesh grilles, manufactured using spot welding and hot-dip galvanizing technology. It features corrosion resistance and a cage bottom that is not easily collapsed. The mesh spacing is moderate, making it convenient for broilers to extend their heads to eat. It is also equipped with auxiliary structures such as cage doors. Steel wire and other auxiliary support structures can be connected to the water tank and feed tank to share their weight. Pressure sensors and sensing base plates transmit data to the control terminal, which processes the information and facilitates the control of electrical valves and motors. The sensing base plates inside the water and feed trays can be used to detect the remaining amount of feed and water, allowing the terminal to receive signals and control the equipment for automatic feeding and watering.
[0008] Preferably, the surface of the connecting slide rod is slidably connected to the annular float, and the upper end of the connecting slide rod is fixedly connected to the water storage tank.
[0009] Preferably, the automatic drinking structure includes a distribution water pipe, an electrically controlled valve is fixedly installed on the surface of the distribution water pipe on the side of the water tank, a drinking head is fixedly installed on the surface of the distribution water pipe inside the high-level chicken cage, and a water tray is fixedly installed on the surface of the distribution water pipe on the side of the drinking head.
[0010] As a preferred option, the distribution water pipes are connected to the water storage tank, and the water tray is equipped with the same sensor base plate. The water tray is fixedly connected to the high-rise chicken cage.
[0011] Preferably, the automatic feeding structure includes a distribution trough, a motor is fixedly mounted on the surface of the distribution trough, the output end of the motor extends into the interior of the distribution trough and a drive shaft is fixedly mounted thereon, and a helical blade is fixedly mounted on the surface of the drive shaft.
[0012] Preferably, the distribution trough and the storage box are connected to each other, the output end of the motor is rotatably connected to the distribution trough, and the spiral blades are adapted to the distribution trough.
[0013] Preferably, a feeding tray is fixedly installed at the end of the distribution trough away from the storage box, and the feeding tray is equipped with the same sensor base plate. The feeding tray is fixedly connected to the high-rise chicken cage.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] The automatic feeding and drinking device of this high-rise broiler cage uses a water tank and a feed tank to store the water and feed required for a certain period of time, thereby greatly reducing the number of times to add feed and avoiding feeding at every meal, which helps to improve the convenience of using the equipment.
[0016] The pressure sensor is pressed down by the ring float, which sends a signal to the control and processing terminal of the equipment. The storage bin monitors the weight of the stored feed using the sensing base plate. When the weight is lower than the set value, it also sends a signal to the control and processing terminal of the equipment to replenish drinking water and feed in time, so as to avoid the water tank and the storage bin being empty for a long time.
[0017] The sensor base plates inside the water and feed trays can be used to detect the remaining amount of feed and water, allowing the terminal to receive signals and control the equipment to automatically feed and water. The distribution water pipes are controlled by an electronically controlled valve to automatically feed water, and the water head automatically distributes a fixed amount of water to each water tray. The motor drives the drive shaft to rotate, which causes the spiral blades to move the feed and drop it into the feed tray, thus realizing automatic feeding and watering and reducing manual labor.

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0025] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides an embodiment of an automatic feeding and drinking device for high-rise broiler cages, including a high-rise broiler cage 1, an automatic drinking structure, and an automatic feeding structure. A water tank 2 is fixedly installed on the left side of the upper end of the high-rise broiler cage 1, and a feed storage box 3 is fixedly installed on the right side of the upper end of the high-rise broiler cage 1. An installation plate 4 is fixedly installed at the lower end inside the water tank 2, and a connecting slide rod 5 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the installation plate 4. A pressure sensor 6 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the installation plate 4 on the side of the connecting slide rod 5. An annular float 7 is provided on the surface of the connecting slide rod 5. A sensing base plate 8 is fixedly installed at the lower end inside the feed storage box 3. The device utilizes the water tank... 2 and 3 store the drinking water and feed required for a certain period of time. When the water in the water tank 2 is too low, the pressure sensor 6 is pressed down by the sliding of the annular float 7. The weight of the stored feed in the storage tank 3 is monitored by the sensing base plate 8. Both can send signals to the control and processing terminal of the equipment to replenish the drinking water and feed in time, thereby greatly reducing the number of times to add water. The distribution water pipe 9 is automatically fed by the electric control valve 10. The water head 11 automatically distributes a certain amount of drinking water to each water tray 12. The motor 14 drives the transmission shaft 15 to rotate, so that the spiral blade 16 moves the feed and falls into the feed tray 17.
[0026] Please see Figures 1-3 In this embodiment, the surface of the connecting slide rod 5 is slidably connected to the annular float 7, and the upper end of the connecting slide rod 5 is fixedly connected to the water storage tank 2. The water storage tank 2 and the feed storage tank 3 store the drinking water and feed required for a certain period of time. As the annular float 7 gradually decreases with the level of drinking water, when the water level in the water storage tank 2 is too low, the annular float 7 slides down and presses down on the pressure sensor 6, causing it to send a signal to the control and processing terminal of the equipment. The feed storage tank 3 uses the sensing base plate 8 to monitor the weight of the stored feed. When the weight is lower than the set value, it also sends a signal to the control and processing terminal of the equipment to replenish drinking water and feed in time, thereby greatly reducing the number of times feed is added and avoiding feeding at every meal.
[0027] Please see Figures 1-5In this embodiment, the automatic drinking structure includes a distribution water pipe 9. An electrically controlled valve 10 is fixedly installed on the surface of the distribution water pipe 9 on the side of the water storage tank 2. A drinking head 11 is fixedly installed on the surface of the distribution water pipe 9 inside the high-rise chicken cage 1. A water tray 12 is fixedly installed on the surface of the distribution water pipe 9 on the side of the drinking head 11. The distribution water pipe 9 is connected to the water storage tank 2. A similar sensor base plate 8 is provided on the water tray 12. The water tray 12 is fixedly connected to the high-rise chicken cage 1. The automatic feeding structure includes a distribution feed trough 13. A motor 14 is fixedly installed on the surface of the distribution feed trough 13. The output end of the motor 14 extends into the interior of the distribution feed trough 13 and a drive shaft 15 is fixedly installed. The surface of the drive shaft 15 is fixedly... The distribution trough 13 is connected to the storage box 3 and equipped with a spiral blade 16. The output end of the motor 14 is rotatably connected to the distribution trough 13. The spiral blade 16 is adapted to the distribution trough 13. A feeding tray 17 is fixedly installed at the end of the distribution trough 13 away from the storage box 3. The feeding tray 17 is equipped with the same sensor base plate 8. The feeding tray 17 is fixedly connected to the high-rise chicken cage 1. The distribution water pipe 9 is controlled by the electric control valve 10 to automatically feed water. The drinking head 11 automatically distributes a certain amount of drinking water to each water tray 12. The motor 14 drives the transmission shaft 15 to rotate, so that the spiral blade 16 drives the feed to move and fall into the feeding tray 17, realizing automatic feeding and drinking, reducing manual labor.
[0028] During operation, the water tank 2 and feed tank 3 store the required drinking water and feed for a certain period of time. An annular float 7 gradually lowers the water level. When the water level in the water tank 2 is too low, the annular float 7 slides down, pressing down on the pressure sensor 6, which sends a signal to the equipment's control terminal. The feed tank 3 uses a sensing base plate 8 to monitor the weight of the stored feed. When the weight is below a set value, it also sends a signal to the equipment's control terminal to replenish the drinking water and feed in a timely manner. This significantly reduces the frequency of feeding, avoiding the need for feeding at each meal and improving the ease of use of the equipment. The water distribution pipe 9 is automatically fed water via an electrically controlled valve 10. The drinking head 11 automatically distributes a fixed amount of drinking water to each water tray 12. A motor 14 drives the transmission shaft 15 to rotate, causing the spiral blades 16 to move the feed and drop it into the feed tray 17, thus achieving automatic feeding and watering and reducing manual labor.
[0029] Through the above steps, the water tank 2 and the feed tank 3 are used to store the drinking water and feed required for a certain period of time. When the water tank 2 has too little water, the annular float 7 slides down to press the pressure sensor 6. The feed tank 3 uses the sensing base plate 8 to monitor the weight of the stored feed. Both can send signals to the control and processing terminal of the equipment to replenish the drinking water and feed in time, thereby greatly reducing the number of times to add feed. This solves the problem that the automatic feeding and drinking device of high-rise broiler cages still needs to add feed and water every meal when it is working, which is not conducive to improving the convenience of equipment use.
