AI Technical Summary
The droppings on the bottom bars of existing chicken coops are difficult to clean, especially after they dry and harden, making cleaning inconvenient and requiring the chickens to be herded out before cleaning can be done.
A bottom fence structure for chicken coops was designed, including a frame, straight rods, sleeves, and a scraper plate. Feces are scraped off by friction between the sleeves and the frame, and the scraper plate is used instead of the frame to scrape off the feces, so that cleaning can be achieved without having to drive the chickens out.
This allows for convenient cleaning of droppings on the bottom bars of the chicken coop without having to remove the chickens, preventing the droppings from drying and hardening, thus improving cleaning efficiency and convenience.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of poultry farming cage technology, and in particular to a chicken cage that is easy to clean. Background Technology
[0002] To ensure the hygiene of chicken coops, a device for collecting manure is usually installed at the bottom of the chicken cages. Small chicken coops typically place a manure basin at the bottom of the cages, while large chicken coops usually place the cages above a conveyor belt, as shown in patent document CN221429881U. The conveyor belt can clean the manure at any time.
[0003] Whether it's a manure basin or a conveyor belt, it can only clean out the portion of the manure that leaves the chicken coop. Some manure remains on the bottom bars of the coop. Although this portion of manure is small, it dries and hardens over time, making it difficult to clean. Furthermore, cleaning the bottom bars of the coop requires herding the chickens out of the coop, which is very inconvenient. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a chicken cage that facilitates manure removal.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A chicken cage for easy manure removal includes a cage body with a bottom fence. The bottom fence includes a frame, a connecting plate, several straight rods, and several sleeves. The straight rods are arranged parallel and spaced apart within the frame. The first axial end of each straight rod is fixedly connected to a first side of the frame, and the second axial end of each straight rod is located near a second side of the frame. Each straight rod has a through hole on its second side. The sleeves are movably inserted into the through holes and fitted onto the straight rods. One end of each straight rod outside the frame is fixedly connected to the connecting plate.
[0007] Furthermore, the second end of the straight rod is disposed within the through hole.
[0008] Furthermore, the cage also includes two feeding grates, two door grates, a side grates, and a top grates. The frame is rectangular. The two feeding grates are respectively fixed vertically on the two short sides of the frame. The top grates are fixed to the top of the two feeding grates. The side grates are fixed between the rear sides of the two feeding grates. The two door grates are respectively hinged to the front sides of the two feeding grates. The two door grates are locked together by bolts.
[0009] Furthermore, a scraper toothed plate is attached to several of the sleeves, the scraper toothed plate is attached to the second side of the frame, the top edge of the side fence is connected to the top fence, and a gap is left between the bottom edge of the side fence and the second side of the frame for removing the scraper toothed plate.
[0010] Furthermore, a bracket is fixed to the bottom of the frame, a support plate is provided inside the bracket, and a manure collection tray is mounted on the support plate.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the sleeve can be moved at any time, allowing the sleeve to rub against the second side of the frame, thereby scraping off the feces left on the sleeve; the straight rod can continue to support the chickens inside the cage, enabling the sleeve to be cleaned without driving the chickens out of the cage.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0018] like Figures 1-4As shown, a chicken cage for easy manure removal includes a cage body with a bottom fence 1, two feeding fences 2, two door fences 3, a side fence 4, and a top fence 5. The bottom fence 1 includes a frame 11, a connecting plate 12, several straight rods 13, and several sleeves 14. The frame 11 is rectangular and horizontally arranged. The several straight rods 13 are parallel and spaced apart within the frame 11. The first axial end of the straight rod 13 is fixed to the front long side of the frame 11, and the second axial end of the straight rod 13 is located near the rear long side of the frame 11. A through hole 111 is opened on the rear long side of the frame 11 for each straight rod 13. Several sleeves 14 are movably inserted into the several through holes 111, and the outer wall of the sleeve 14 fits against the inner wall of the through hole 111. Pipes 14 are respectively sleeved on several straight rods 13. The inner wall of the sleeve 14 is in contact with the outer wall of the straight rod 13. One end of each straight rod 13 outside the frame 11 is fixed to the connecting plate 12. A handle 121 is fixed to the connecting plate 12. Two feeding grates 2 are respectively vertically fixed on the short sides of the left and right sides of the frame 11. The top grates 5 are fixed to the top of the two feeding grates 2. The side grates 4 are fixed between the rear sides of the two feeding grates 2. Two door panel grates 3 are respectively hinged to the front sides of the two feeding grates 2. The two door panel grates 3 are locked by a bolt. A bracket 6 is fixed to the bottom of the frame 11. A support plate 61 is horizontally arranged inside the bracket 6. A manure collection tray 7 is placed on the support plate 61. The manure collection tray 7 is located below several sleeves 14.
[0019] In actual use, after the chickens excrete their droppings, most of the droppings fall into the collection tray 7 through the gaps between the adjacent sleeves 14. A small amount of droppings remain on the surface of the sleeves 14. The connecting plate 12 can be pulled at any time to scrape off the droppings on the surface of the sleeves 14 by the long rear side of the frame 11, preventing the droppings on the surface of the sleeves 14 from drying and hardening. The straight rod 13 can continue to support the chickens in the cage, enabling the sleeves 14 to be cleaned without driving the chickens out of the cage. Even cleaning the frame 11 is not too troublesome.
[0020] In this embodiment, the second end of the straight rod 13 is located inside the through hole 111 to improve the stability of the bottom fence 1.
[0021] In this embodiment, a scraper plate 8 is attached to several sleeves 14. The shape of the tooth groove of the scraper plate 8 corresponds to the shape of the outer wall of the sleeve 14. The sleeve 14 is set in the tooth groove of the scraper plate 8. The scraper plate 8 is attached to the second side of the frame 11. The top edge of the side fence 4 is connected to the top fence 5. A gap is left between the bottom edge of the side fence 4 and the rear long side of the frame 11 for removing the scraper plate 8. The scraper plate 8 is set so that it can scrape the feces instead of the rear long side of the frame 11. Thus, cleaning the scraper plate 8 is done instead of cleaning the rear long side of the frame 11. The scraper plate 8 can be removed from the cage, thus improving the convenience of cleaning.
[0022] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
