Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock and poultry breeding technology, and in particular to a multifunctional chicken coop ventilation and cooling louver. Background Technology
[0002] A multi-functional chicken coop is a modern breeding equipment that integrates rain protection, sun protection, ventilation, and safety protection. It is suitable for family backyards, farms, and outdoor breeding scenarios. It is made of materials such as Oxford cloth, galvanized steel wire mesh, metal frames (such as rust-proofed steel pipes), or plastic mesh, combining lightweight and durability. Some products are equipped with rainproof cloth and wire mesh to enhance waterproof and windproof performance.
[0003] In existing technologies, multi-functional chicken coops suffer from narrow access passages that obstruct poultry passage. With door widths of less than one meter, poultry are prone to getting stuck and colliding when entering and exiting. In particular, laying hens often experience stress reactions due to compression. At the same time, the limited door size restricts the lateral ventilation area, making it difficult for hot air inside the coop to form effective convection in summer. The low door frame also prevents cleaning equipment such as high-pressure water guns from entering properly. Workers have to bend over to carry bedding waste, which can easily lead to lumbar muscle strain with long-term operation. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a multifunctional chicken coop ventilation and cooling louver.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a multifunctional chicken coop ventilation and cooling louver, comprising a chicken coop body, the chicken coop body comprising a frame and a canopy body, the canopy body being fixed to the top of the frame, the canopy body being at least 0.5 meters above the ground, a rectangular groove being provided on the back of the canopy body, a mounting cover being detachably connected to the rectangular groove, a protruding frame being fixed to the inner wall of the mounting cover, the middle of the side of the protruding frame being fixed to the inner wall of the mounting cover, the width of the protruding frame being greater than the thickness of the canopy body, and multiple louvered slats being fixed to the inner wall of the protruding frame.
[0006] Preferably, the mounting cover plate has circular grooves at all four corners, and a fixed cylinder is slidably connected to the inner wall of the circular groove. An insert is fixed to the circumference of the fixed cylinder. A cylindrical groove is provided at the corresponding position of the canopy and the circular groove. A hollow rotating component is rotatably connected to one end of the cylindrical groove through a bearing. A through groove is provided on the inner wall of the hollow rotating component, and a sliding groove is provided on the inner wall of the cylindrical groove.
[0007] Preferably, a limiting groove is formed on the inner wall of the hollow rotating part, and the depth of the limiting groove is greater than half the length of the insert.
[0008] Preferably, one end of the inner wall of the limiting groove is configured as a rounded arc surface.
[0009] Preferably, a large-diameter column is fixed at the end of the fixed cylinder away from the insert, and the diameter of the large-diameter column is larger than the diameter of the circular groove.
[0010] Preferably, a return spring is fixed to one end of the inner wall of the cylindrical groove, and a bearing plate is fixed to one end of the return spring.
[0011] Preferably, multiple trapezoidal components are fixed on the periphery of the bearing plate, and trapezoidal grooves are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the cylindrical groove.
[0012] Preferably, rubber pads are glued to both ends of the trapezoidal component, and anti-slip horizontal grooves are arranged in a circular array on the circumference of the hollow rotating component.
[0013] Beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. This utility model achieves the goal of raising the shed body and using a detachable mounting cover, so that when workers need to clean, ventilate and cool the chicken shed, they can remove the mounting cover, the convex frame and the louvered slats to expose the rectangular groove, which makes it easier for workers to clean and ventilate and cool. At the same time, the raised shed body eliminates the need for workers to bend over to work, thereby improving the user experience.
[0015] 2. This utility model achieves the following: a part of the convex frame is located in the rectangular groove and the other part protrudes from the mounting cover plate, so that the convex frame supports the rectangular groove to prevent its deformation. A louvered plate is fixed to one end of the convex frame of the protruding mounting cover plate, thereby preventing poultry from directly contacting the louvered plate, which would cause the louvered plate to get dirty and difficult to clean, thus improving the convenience of later maintenance.
[0016] 3. This utility model achieves the effect of fixing the cylinder and the insert, so that the insert of the fixed cylinder slides into the slide groove along the through groove of the hollow rotating part. Then, the operator rotates the hollow rotating part to prevent the insert and the fixed cylinder from leaving the cylinder groove, thereby facilitating the operator to install and disassemble the cover plate and improving the user experience.

[0033] To make the technical means, creative features, and achieved objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model is further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. However, the following embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments described in the implementation plan without creative effort are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0034] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Specific Implementation Example 1:
[0036] Reference Figures 1-7A multifunctional chicken coop ventilation and cooling louver includes a chicken coop main body 1, which includes a frame and a coop body 101. The coop body 101 is fixed to the top of the frame, and the coop body 101 is not less than 0.5 meters above the ground. A rectangular groove is opened on the back of the coop body 101, and a mounting cover plate 2 is detachably connected to the rectangular groove. A protruding frame 201 is fixed to the inner wall of the mounting cover plate 2. The middle of the side of the protruding frame 201 is fixed to the inner wall of the mounting cover plate 2. The width of the protruding frame 201 is greater than the thickness of the coop body 101. Multiple louvered strips 202 are fixed to the inner wall of the protruding frame 201. By raising the coop body 101 and using the detachable mounting cover plate 2, the louvered ... When workers need to clean, ventilate, and cool the chicken coop, they can remove the mounting cover 2, the protruding frame 201, and the louvered slats 202 to expose the rectangular groove, making it easier for workers to clean and ventilate. At the same time, the raised coop body 101 eliminates the need for workers to bend over. Part of the protruding frame 201 is located in the rectangular groove, and the other part protrudes from the mounting cover 2, allowing the protruding frame 201 to support the rectangular groove and prevent it from deforming. One end of the protruding frame 201 protruding from the mounting cover 2 is fixed with the louvered slats 202, thereby preventing poultry from directly contacting the louvered slats 202, which would otherwise make the louvered slats 202 easy to get dirty and difficult to clean.
[0037] The cover plate 2 has circular grooves at all four corners. A fixed cylinder 3 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the circular groove. An insert 301 is fixed to the circumference of the fixed cylinder 3. The canopy 101 has cylindrical grooves at the corresponding positions of the circular grooves. A hollow rotating component 302 is rotatably connected to one end of the cylindrical groove via a bearing. A through groove 303 is opened on the inner wall of the hollow rotating component 302. A sliding groove 304 is opened on the inner wall of the cylindrical groove. By using the fixed cylinder 3 and the insert 301, the insert 301 of the fixed cylinder 3 slides into the sliding groove 304 along the through groove 303 of the hollow rotating component 302. Then, the operator rotates the hollow rotating component 302 to prevent the insert 301 and the fixed cylinder 3 from leaving the cylindrical groove, thereby facilitating the operator to install and disassemble the cover plate 2.
[0038] A return spring 4 is fixed to one end of the inner wall of the cylindrical groove, and a bearing plate 401 is fixed to the other end of the return spring 4. A limiting groove 6 is opened on the inner wall of the hollow rotating part 302. The depth of the limiting groove 6 is greater than half the length of the insert 301. One end of the inner wall of the limiting groove 6 is set as a rounded arc surface 7. When the worker inserts the fixed cylinder 3 into the cylindrical groove through the return spring 4, the fixed cylinder 3 squeezes the bearing plate 401, causing the return spring 4 to accumulate elastic potential energy under pressure. When the worker rotates the hollow rotating part 302 and releases it, the return spring 4 releases the elastic potential energy and pushes the bearing plate 401 and the fixed cylinder 3 outward until the insert 301 is inserted into the limiting groove 6. This effectively prevents the hollow rotating part 302 from rotating on its own after the worker releases it. At the same time, the rounded arc surface 7 prevents wear caused by the two abutting each other and improves their service life.
[0039] Multiple trapezoidal parts 5 are fixed on the circumference of the bearing plate 401. Trapezoidal grooves 501 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the cylindrical groove. The movement trajectory of the bearing plate 401 is restricted by the cooperation of the trapezoidal parts 5 and the trapezoidal grooves 501, so as to prevent abnormal wear or damage to the return spring 4 caused by tilting during the movement.
[0040] Both ends of the trapezoidal part 5 are glued and fixed with rubber pads. The hollow rotating part 302 has anti-slip horizontal grooves arranged in a circular array on its circumference. The rubber pads prevent damage caused by direct collision between the trapezoidal part 5 and the two ends of the trapezoidal groove 501. The rubber pads provide cushioning, thus improving the service life of both.
[0041] A large-diameter post 8 is fixed at the end of the fixed cylinder 3 away from the insert 301. The diameter of the large-diameter post 8 is larger than the diameter of the circular groove. The large-diameter post 8 limits the insertion depth of the fixed cylinder 3, thereby better preventing excessive insertion and causing the return spring 4 to exceed its limit compression distance, thus improving the service life of the return spring 4. Specific Implementation Example 2:
[0043] Reference Figures 1-7 In a modern egg-laying chicken farm in Shandong, workers used the structure disclosed in this utility model to create a 1.8×1.2m rectangular groove on the back wall of the main body 101 (0.6m above the ground) of the chicken shed. When the four sets of fixed cylinders 3 (large diameter 8, 25mm in diameter) of the cover plate 2 are aligned with the cylindrical groove of the shed 101, the operator presses the cover plate 2 to make the insert 301 (8mm wide) slide through the through groove 303 of the hollow rotating part 302 into the slide groove 304. The end of the fixed cylinder 3 compresses the bearing plate 401, causing the return spring 4 (60Si2MnA wire, 1.2mm in diameter) to store energy. After rotating the hollow rotating part 302 (with anti-slip horizontal grooves on the surface) 90°, the return spring 4 releases its elasticity, pushing the insert 301 into the depth of the limiting groove 6 (6mm deep). The rounded end arc surface 7 of the limiting groove 6 reduces friction, while the trapezoidal part 5 of the bearing plate 401 (with 2mm rubber pads at both ends) is embedded in the trapezoidal groove 501 to form an axial lock. The convex frame 201 (80mm wide) penetrates the shed body 101 (50mm thick), and the 15 sets of aluminum alloy louvered strips 202 (tilt angle 15°) installed on its protruding part are 0.5 meters away from the chicken cage to avoid poultry contact and contamination. During summer ventilation, the cover plate 2 is removed and installed, and the rectangular groove forms a horizontal air duct, which reduces the temperature inside the shed from 35℃ to 28℃ (measured wind speed 2.8m / s). During cleaning operations, the Kärcher HD-7 / 15 high-pressure water gun (working pressure 10MPa) sprays water directly through the rectangular groove, which is 3 times more efficient than traditional bending-over cleaning. The quick-release structure makes a single disassembly take 15 seconds, and the return spring 4 has a spring force attenuation rate of ≤5% after 3000 cycles of testing.
[0044] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the operator needs to fix the cover plate 2, press the four corner fixing cylinders 3 so that the inserts 301 of the fixing cylinders 3 are aligned with the through grooves 303 of the hollow rotating parts 302 in the cylindrical groove of the canopy 101. The fixing cylinders 3 are pushed along the through grooves 303 into the sliding grooves 304 and into the cylindrical groove. At this time, the end of the fixing cylinders 3 compresses the bearing plate 401, causing the return spring 4 to accumulate elastic potential energy. Then, the hollow rotating parts 302 are rotated about 90 degrees, and the return spring 4 releases its elastic force to push the bearing plate 401 outward, forcing the inserts 301 to be stuck deep in the limiting groove 6. At the same time, the trapezoidal parts 5 on the periphery of the bearing plate 401 are embedded in the trapezoidal grooves 501 on the inner wall of the cylindrical groove to form an axial lock. The rubber pads at both ends of the trapezoidal parts 5 provide cushioning. Collision is prevented, and the rounded arc surface 7 of the inner wall of the limiting groove 6 reduces rotational wear; in this state, the insert 301 is completely restricted by the limiting groove 6, realizing a firm lock between the installation cover 2 and the shed body 101; when disassembling, the hollow rotating part 302 is rotated in the opposite direction to make the through groove 303 realign the insert 301, and the reset spring 4 pops out the fixed cylinder 3; the convex frame 201 of the installation cover 2 penetrates the rectangular groove of the shed body 101, which not only supports the edge of the rectangular groove to prevent deformation, but also makes the louvered slats 202 protrude outward from the inner wall of the shed body 101 to avoid direct contact and contamination of poultry; when ventilation and cooling or cleaning is required, the installation cover 2 is disassembled to expose the rectangular groove to form a large area of transverse air duct, and the high-pressure water gun can directly enter for cleaning, and the design of the shed body 101 being greater than or equal to 0.5 meters above the ground eliminates the need for bending over to work.
[0045] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature.
