Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of breeding cage technology, specifically to a breeding cage with a manure cleaning structure for laying hen breeding. Background Technology

[0002] In patent application CN215454702U, a vertical plate is included, with a base plate fixedly installed at the lower end of the vertical plate. Manure collection troughs are fixedly installed on both sides of the vertical plate, and chicken cages are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the manure collection troughs. The advantages are: This utility model optimizes the breeding space through the layered structure design of the chicken cages. When laying hens produce manure, it falls through the mesh at the bottom of the chicken cages onto the surface of the manure collection troughs. Connecting the main water pipe to a water pump allows for simultaneous flushing of the manure on the surfaces of multiple manure collection troughs via four branch pipes and multiple water nozzles. The manure collection troughs prevent manure from falling into the chicken cages below. The flushing method allows for centralized treatment of manure produced by each chicken cage, and the manure can be centrally stored and utilized through the manure collection box, greatly improving the efficiency of manure cleaning and recycling. Furthermore, this process does not frighten the laying hens and does not affect their egg production rate.

[0003] In the aforementioned patents or prior art, traditional methods of cleaning manure mostly involve rinsing with water pipes. Considering that laying hens are easily startled, the cleaning of the chicken coop itself still relies on manual labor, which is inefficient and has many dead corners at the bottom that are difficult to clean thoroughly. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a breeding cage with a manure cleaning structure for egg-laying chicken farming, so as to solve the problem of cleaning dead corners mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a breeding cage with a manure cleaning structure for egg-laying hen breeding, comprising a base, a brush on the top of the base, a fourth gear fixedly connected to the bottom of the brush, the bottom of the fourth gear being rotatably connected to the top of the base, a cage body on the top of the base, and the bottom of the cage body contacting the top of the brush.

[0006] Furthermore, a motor is provided at the bottom of the base, one end of the motor is fixedly connected to a motor gear, and the bottom of the motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base.

[0007] Furthermore, a first gear is provided on one side of the top front of the base, and a conveyor belt is provided on the top of the base. The first gear is fixedly connected to one side of the front of the conveyor belt, and the first gear, the motor gear, and the first chain are connected in a transmission manner.

[0008] Furthermore, a second gear is provided on the top of the front side of the base. The second gear, the motor gear, and the second chain are connected in a transmission relationship. A second bevel gear is fixedly connected to one end of the second gear.

[0009] Furthermore, the second bevel gear is connected to the first bevel gear in a transmission manner, and a third gear is fixedly connected to the top of the first bevel gear.

[0010] Furthermore, the third gear and the fourth gear are connected to the third chain for transmission.

[0011] Furthermore, a manure storage box is provided on one side of the base.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the breeding cage with a manure cleaning structure for laying hen farming is reasonable and has the following advantages: (1) Since chicken manure is mostly fluid or semi-solid, it is easy for the bottom of the cage to stick when laying hens produce manure. It is difficult to clean after it dries. The rotating brush structure can effectively clean the bottom of the cage, which reduces the amount of manual labor and avoids the risk of infectious diseases such as chicken plague caused by residual bacteria in the manure. Since the brush rotates continuously, it also avoids the possibility of manure drying and residue. The brush is made of soft material and rotates slowly, so laying hens are not easily frightened. A conveyor belt is installed at the bottom of the cage, working in conjunction with a brush to collect manure into the storage bin immediately, ensuring no manure accumulates at the bottom of the cage. Considering the relatively high temperature and poor ventilation inside the chicken house, accumulated manure can easily breed and spread bacteria. The combination of conveyor belt and storage bin can avoid this situation, eliminating the need for manual cleaning and reducing the risk of infection for operators. At the same time, the conveyor belt and brush share the same power unit, reducing power consumption. The optimized and streamlined structure reduces purchase costs, while also greatly improving maintenance and repair efficiency. Attached Figure Description
