[0002] Chicken cages are devices used to raise chickens. Their design and structure are intended to provide a safe, hygienic, and comfortable environment to meet the growth and reproduction needs of chickens. Depending on their use in the breeding process, chicken cages can be divided into brooding cages, growing cages, and laying hen cages, etc.

[0003] While most existing chicken cages can separate different types of chickens for separate rearing, some cages are one-piece structures. Therefore, when cleaning the chicken droppings from the bottom of the cage, the cage's structural limitations require manual intervention from the farmer using cleaning tools to repeatedly clean the droppings. This method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also reduces the overall efficiency of cleaning the chicken cage. Utility Model Content

The use of terms like "first" and "second" is merely for distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the quantity or sequence of the indicated technical features.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a chicken cage that is easy to clean, including a first chicken cage frame 1 and a second chicken cage frame 2. Positioning support rods 3 are welded and installed on opposite sides of the first chicken cage frame 1 and the second chicken cage frame 2. The function of the positioning support rods 3 is to assist in supporting and fixing the first chicken cage frame 1 and the second chicken cage frame 2.

[0027] Furthermore, a storage support 4 is welded and installed on the surface of the first chicken cage frame 1, and an outer support ring 5 is rotatably installed on the surface of the storage support 4. A power ring 6 is rotatably installed on the inner side of the second chicken cage frame 2, and a water guide pipe 7 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the power ring 6. A cleaning support plate 8 is fixedly installed at the end of the water guide pipe 7 away from the power ring 6. The surface of the cleaning support plate 8 slides against the inner side of the first chicken cage frame 1. A drainage support pipe 9 is welded and installed on the surface of the water guide pipe 7. The drainage support pipe 9 is located above the cleaning support plate 8. The surface of the cleaning support plate 8 is inclined. A chicken cage cover plate 10 is slidably installed on the inner side of the power ring 6. An auxiliary water tank 11 is fixedly installed on the surface of the chicken cage cover plate 10. An inner connecting pipe 12 is fixedly installed on the surface of the auxiliary water tank 11. The lower end of the inner connecting pipe 12 is slidably installed on the inner side of the water guide pipe 7.

[0028] Specifically, when cleaning chicken manure inside the first chicken cage 1, the operator only needs to control the chicken cage cover 10 to rotate the power collar 6 inside the second chicken cage 2, and add water to the auxiliary water tank 11. The water then flows through the auxiliary water tank 11 and into the water guide branch pipe 7 via the inner branch pipe 12. At this time, the water inside the water guide branch pipe 7 is discharged through the drain branch pipe 9. As the water guide branch pipe 7 rotates with the power collar 6, it drives the cleaning support plate 8 to make contact with and clean the surface of the first chicken cage 1. The outer support collar 5 on the storage support barrel 4 assists the cleaning support plate 8 in selecting its movement and has a good limiting effect. The inclined surface of the cleaning support plate 8 allows for the contact cleaning of chicken manure inside the first chicken cage frame 1, followed by cleaning of the exterior at the groove opening. The drainage support pipe 9 assists in humidifying the chicken manure adhering to the surface of the first chicken cage frame 1, thus ensuring the ease of cleaning. This method ensures the ease of operation when cleaning chicken manure inside the first chicken cage frame 1. At the same time, the rotation of the cleaning support plate 8 ensures the convenience of cleaning the entire interior of the first chicken cage frame 1. This improves upon the drawbacks of traditional first chicken cage frames 1, which are time-consuming and laborious to clean due to structural limitations. Thus, this method achieves high efficiency in cleaning chicken manure inside the first chicken cage frame 1.

[0029] Furthermore, an inner support rod 14 is fixedly installed on the surface of the chicken coop cover 10, and an inner support groove 13 is opened on the inner side of the power collar 6. The surface of the inner support rod 14 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the inner support groove 13 on the power collar 6. When the chicken coop cover 10 is connected to the power collar 6, the inner support rod 14 on the chicken coop cover 10 and the inner support groove 13 on the power collar 6 are connected and matched, so that the chicken coop cover 10 and the power collar 6 can form a limited assembly, and also ensure the reliability of the connection and placement of the inner branch pipe 12 and the water guide branch pipe 7 on the auxiliary water tank 11.

[0030] Furthermore, the surface of the first chicken coop 1 is provided with a first groove 15, and a first slide rod 16 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the first groove 15 on the first chicken coop 1. A second slide rod 17 is slidably installed on the surface of the first slide rod 16, and an elastic component 18 is installed on the opposite side of the second slide rod 17 and the first slide rod 16. The surface of the second chicken coop 2 is provided with a second groove 19, and the surface of the second slide rod 17 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the second groove 19 on the second chicken coop 2. This allows for easy cleaning of the first chicken coop 1 when necessary. When releasing chickens from the cage, the operator can control the second slide rod 17 to press the elastic component 18 down on the surface of the first slide rod 16, thereby causing the second slide rod 17 to slide out of the inner wall of the second groove 19 on the second chicken cage frame 2, and thus separating the first slide rod 16 and the second slide rod 17 on the opposite sides of the second chicken cage frame 2 and the first chicken cage frame 1. This method ensures the ease of operation when cleaning or releasing chickens from the cage, and improves the drawback of traditional integrated chicken cages that require personnel to control the release of breeding chickens.

[0031] Working principle: A chicken cage that is easy to clean. When it is necessary to clean the chicken manure inside the first chicken cage frame 1, the operator only needs to control the chicken cage cover plate 10 to drive the power collar 6 to rotate inside the second chicken cage frame 2, and add water into the auxiliary water tank 11. The water then reaches the water guide branch pipe 7 through the auxiliary water tank 11 via the internal branch pipe 12. At this time, the water inside the water guide branch pipe 7 is discharged through the drain branch pipe 9. When the water guide branch pipe 7 rotates with the power collar 6, the water guide branch pipe 7 drives the cleaning support plate 8 to form abutment cleaning on the surface of the first chicken cage frame 1. The outer support collar 5 on the storage support barrel 4 assists the cleaning support plate 8 in selecting movement and has a good limiting effect. Moreover, the inclined surface of the cleaning support plate 8 can clean the chicken manure inside the first chicken cage frame 1 by abutment cleaning and then clean the outside at the trough opening.

[0032] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
