Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chicken farming equipment, and in particular to a chicken flock transfer device. Background Technology
[0002] There are many ways to raise chickens outdoors, including free-range, outdoor pen-raising, and high-density indoor farming. Some farmers with limited space choose to raise chickens outdoors in pen-raising areas to improve meat quality. This involves enclosing a plot of land and raising the chickens within it. However, if chickens are kept in one place for too long, the accumulated manure can breed bacteria and viruses, affecting the chickens' growth. Furthermore, prolonged confinement in one area will deplete local vegetation and insects, negating the ecological benefits of outdoor chicken farming. Therefore, mobile chicken coops are now used, where chickens are frequently moved from outdoor pen-raising to different coops. The vacant coops are easy to clean, and grass or insects can be grown inside, achieving ecological chicken farming. Existing pen-raising methods use fixed coops, making chicken relocation laborious and inconvenient. Therefore, based on the above problems, this application proposes a chicken flock transfer device.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a chicken flock transfer device, comprising four columns distributed at the four corners of a rectangle. Both sides of each column are connected by a mesh fence to form a rectangular enclosure. Each column has an adjustment groove on its outer side, and a slider is slidably connected inside each adjustment groove. Each slider has a mounting block fixedly connected to one side. The end of each mounting block away from the slider is rotatably connected to a rotating rod via a bearing. The bottom end of each rotating rod is fixedly connected to a fork, and the bottom end of the fork is fixedly connected to a wheel. A worm gear is fixedly connected to the middle of the rotating rod within the two mounting blocks on one side. A worm is meshed with one side of each worm gear. The top of each rotating rod extends out of the mounting block and is equipped with a scale. An angle scale line is provided on the top of the two mounting blocks on one side. A hub motor is installed inside the two wheels on one side. A battery is installed in the upper part of the two columns on one side. Each battery is electrically connected to an electric telescopic rod and a hub motor via an inverter.

[0017] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] In this invention, when it is necessary to clean chicken manure inside the fence or to move the flock to a new breeding site, the electric telescopic rod moves the mounting block downwards via a slider. The slider causes the tires outside the hub motors to contact the ground, at which point the fence rises and detaches from the ground. At this time, the two hub motors on one side drive the wheels to rotate, which can move the fence. The two wheels on the other side can provide omnidirectional guidance, enabling the fence to slowly move the chickens to the new breeding site. The transfer of the flock does not require catching the chickens one by one, saving time, effort, and hygiene. Attached Figure Description

[0025] 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. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Reference Figure 1-4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a chicken flock transfer device, comprising four uprights 1 distributed at the four corners of a rectangle. Each upright 1 is connected on both sides by a mesh 6 to form a rectangular fence. Each upright 1 has an adjustment groove 8 on its outer side, which can accommodate an electric telescopic rod 10 or a limiting slider 14 to move a mounting block 7 up and down. The adjustment groove 8 is slidably connected to a slider 14, and a mounting block 7 is fixedly connected to one side of each slider 14. The end of each mounting block 7 away from the slider 14 is rotatably connected to a rotating rod 15 via a bearing. A fork 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of each rotating rod 15, and a wheel 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of each fork 13. When movement is required, the electric telescopic rod 10 drives the slider 14 to move the mounting block 7 downwards, causing the fence to lift off the ground. At this time, a hub motor drives the wheel 2 to move, allowing the fence to transfer the chickens within. Chicken manure from the old site can be cleaned, and the new site environment is suitable for chicken farming. The middle of the rotating rod 15 within the two mounting blocks 7 on one side is fixedly... A worm gear 16 is fixedly connected, and a worm 17 is meshed with one side of the worm gear 16. The top of the rotating rod 15 extends into a mounting block 7 and is equipped with a scale 18. Angle scale lines 11 are set on the top of the two mounting blocks 7 on one side. A hub motor is installed inside the two wheels 2 on one side. A battery 9 is installed in the upper part of the two columns 1 on one side. Each battery 9 is electrically connected to an electric telescopic rod 10 and a hub motor through an inverter. When the wheel 2 is lowered to the ground, the worm gear 16 is rotated by rotating the worm 17 through the handle 12. When the worm gear 16 rotates, the rotating rod 15 drives the wheel 2 to rotate by an angle, realizing the directional movement of the fence.
[0027] A fixing frame 3 is installed between adjacent columns 1, and the fixing frame 3 passes through the barrier net 6 to reinforce the barrier net 6. The electric telescopic pole 10, battery 9, and hub motor are all connected to a microcontroller via signal lines. The microcontroller has an operable display screen. Battery 9 supplies power to the electric telescopic pole 10 and hub motor. At the same time, the microcontroller has an operating program, which can be operated through the display screen to control the electric telescopic pole 10 and hub motor. Since this is not a technical feature in this application, it will not be discussed in detail here. The electric telescopic pole 10 is fixedly connected in the adjusting groove 8. The drive end of the bottom of the electric telescopic pole 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting block 7. The worm gear 17 is rotatably connected in the mounting block 7. One end of the worm gear 17 passes through the mounting block 7 and is fixedly connected to a handle 12. The worm gear 17 and the worm wheel 16 cooperate to prevent the wheel 2 from rotating in all directions when driven by the hub motor. Angle scale lines 11 are set on the outer periphery of the rotating rod 15, and scale ruler 18 is set directly above the angle scale lines 11. The combination of angle scale lines 11 and scale ruler 18 allows the rotating rod 15 to rotate in a certain direction and angle. The direction of fence movement can be precisely controlled. A chicken coop 4 is set inside the rectangular fence formed by the netting 6, and a feeding trough 5 is set inside the chicken coop 4. The chicken coop 4 is used to raise chickens when they are kept in the fence, and the feeding trough 5 is used to feed the chickens.
[0028] Working principle: When it is necessary to clean the chicken manure inside the fence or to move the chickens to a new breeding site, the electric telescopic rod 10 moves the mounting block 7 downward through the slider 14. The slider 14 makes the tires outside the hub motors contact the ground, and the fence rises off the ground. At this time, by turning the worm gear 17 through the handle 12, the rotating rod 15 drives two of the wheels 2 to turn in the direction that the fence needs to move. At this time, the two hub motors on one side drive the wheels 2 to rotate and move the fence, while the two wheels 2 on the other side can guide in all directions, so that the fence can slowly move the chickens to the new breeding site. The transfer of chickens does not require catching each chicken one by one, which saves time, effort and hygiene.
[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
