Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chicken feeder technology, and more specifically to a chicken feeder with a fixed component. Background Technology

[0002] Chicken feeders on poultry cages are feeding devices specifically designed for poultry, ensuring convenient and hygienic feeding. They are typically installed on the outside of the cage. During installation, due to height differences between the mounting holes on the cage uprights, the feeder may not make contact with the bottom bracket during installation, affecting not only the installation but also reducing its support capacity. Therefore, some designs incorporate height-adjustable structures on the bracket to ensure proper contact. For example, Chinese patent application number 2020221784791 discloses an easily detachable bracket for chicken cage feeders, where the internal tightening bolts ensure effective support for the feeder.

[0003] The current height adjustment mechanism for chicken feeders still has the following problems when in use:

[0004] 1. Although it can provide support, the contact area between the adjustment structure and the chicken feeder is reduced. Compared with the original contact size, it becomes a line contact or point contact, which can easily cause damage and penetration to the chicken feeder and affect its service life.

[0005] 2. The top of the adjusting bolt will directly contact the chicken feeder. When adjusting the height, the rotating bolt will damage the bottom of the chicken feeder.

[0006] 3. When the length of the chicken feeder is insufficient, multiple feeders are usually connected together. At this time, the overlapping part will be raised, and the raised edge will cause damage to the poultry that are feeding.

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a chicken feeder with fixed components to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0008] To address the above problems, this utility model provides a chicken feeder with a fixing component, which can fix and clamp the bracket to ensure the stability of the chicken feeder above, and at the same time can adjust the height of the bracket to maintain a fixed connection with the chicken feeder.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0010] A chicken feeder with a fixing component includes a bracket connected to a rearing cage upright and a chicken feeder located above the bracket. The bracket is provided with a support member on its exterior. The support member has a bent fixing part on its side near the bracket. The fixing part is used to clamp the bracket to the rearing cage upright. The fixing part has a vertically arranged sliding groove on its upper part. The bracket has a folded edge that passes through the sliding groove. The bottom of the fixing part has a horizontal part away from the bracket. An adjusting bolt is internally threaded to the horizontal part. The top of the adjusting bolt contacts the folded edge.

[0011] The bracket is provided with a horizontal support part and an inclined support part. The inclined support part is provided with fixing holes. The chicken feed trough is provided with fixing holes at both ends and the middle for installation on the inclined support part.

[0012] Preferably, in order to facilitate the installation of the support member on the upright, the end of the support member near the upright is provided with an installation hole.

[0013] Preferably, in order to facilitate the connection of two chicken feeders together, one end of the chicken feeder is provided with a recess for connection with the adjacent chicken feeder.

[0014] Preferably, in order to prevent the rotating adjusting bolt from damaging the folded edge, a sleeve is provided on the top of the adjusting bolt, and a groove is provided on the top of the sleeve, with the folded edge located in the groove.

[0015] Preferably, in order to prevent poultry from being cut, the chicken feeder is provided with a first bend and a second bend located away from the upright, with the first bend located at the end closer to the upright.

[0016] Preferably, in order to prevent the edges from warping at the overlapping part of the two chicken feeders, a limiting frame is provided above the chicken feeder. The limiting frame is connected to the upright and presses on the top of the first bend.

[0017] Preferably, in order to accommodate the height differences of the chicken feed troughs, the limiting frame is provided with a strip-shaped adjustment groove.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] 1. This device has a support component on one side of the bracket. The support component has the function of clamping and fixing the bracket, which is convenient to adapt to changes in the height of the bracket. At the same time, the adjusting bolts on the support component can adjust the height of the bracket, so as to keep the contact between the bracket and the chicken feed trough unchanged and avoid the problem of the force-bearing area becoming smaller and affecting the fixation.

[0020] 2. This device has a sleeve component between the adjusting bolt and the folded edge, which can prevent the adjusting bolt from rubbing against the folded edge when rotating, and avoid wear on the adjusting bolt and the folded edge.

[0021] 3. This device has a limiting frame component on the top of the chicken feed trough, which prevents the connection from warping up and avoids the warped edge from affecting the safety of the poultry. Attached Figure Description

[0030] 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.

[0031] Please see Figure 1-6A chicken feeder with a fixed assembly includes a bracket 101 connected to a rearing cage upright 105 and a feeder 102 located above the bracket 101. Multiple vertically arranged uprights 105 are provided on the rearing cage. The bracket 101 is fixed to the uprights 105 by a support member 103. The support member 103 is provided on the outside of the bracket 101, and it fixes the bracket 101 to the uprights 105 by clamping. A bent fixing part 106 is provided on the side of the support member 103 near the bracket 101. The fixing part 106 is used to clamp the bracket 101 to the uprights 105 of the rearing cage, fixing the bracket 101 by clamping without affecting the bracket 101. 01. The upward movement is achieved by the fixed part 106 having a vertically arranged sliding groove 107, and the bracket 101 having a folded edge 108 passing through the sliding groove 107. In use, the weight of the bracket 101 will act on the folded edge 108. The length of the sliding groove 107 is longer than the folded edge 108. The bottom of the fixed part 106 has a horizontal part 109 away from the bracket 101. The horizontal part 109 is internally threaded with an adjusting bolt 110. When the adjusting bolt 110 is rotated, the adjusting bolt 110 will move upward, thereby lifting the folded edge 108 upward. When rotated in the opposite direction, the height decreases, and the top of the adjusting bolt 110 contacts the folded edge 108.

[0032] Traditional height adjustment mechanisms typically involve placing the top of a bolt against the bottom of the feeder 102, and adjusting the bolt's extension length by rotating it to support the bottom of the feeder 102. However, this method can lead to wear on the bottom of the feeder 102 due to the rotating bolt. Furthermore, the small contact area provides insufficient support, and the concentrated support force at a single point can accelerate wear. Additionally, bolt holes are usually present on the bracket 101 and the feeder 102 for fixing; raising them can compromise the connection and fixation.

[0033] When the height of this application is adjusted, the lifting force during rotation will act on the bracket 101 through the folded edge 108, without affecting the contact area between the bracket 101 and the chicken feeder 102, and also without affecting the connection of the bolts between the bracket 101 and the chicken feeder 102.

[0034] The bracket 101 is fixed by clamping, which does not affect its vertical movement. At the same time, the folded edge 108 located in the sliding groove 107 also increases the stability during fixing.

[0035] The bracket 101 is provided with a horizontal support part 111 and an inclined support part 112. The horizontal support part 111 supports the bottom of the chicken feeder 102, and the inclined support part 112 supports the sides and facilitates fixing with bolts. The inclined support part 112 has fixing holes 113. The chicken feeder 102 has fixing holes 113 at both ends and in the middle, which are used for mounting on the inclined support part 112. Because the chicken feeder 102 is relatively long, fixing holes 113 are provided in the middle for fixing to improve support strength. The fixing holes 113 are holes through which bolts pass for fixing.

[0036] Specifically, in order to facilitate the installation of the support member 103 on the upright 105, the support member 103 has an installation hole 104 at one end near the upright 105. The support member 103 can be fixed to the upright 105 using bolts. The support member 103 is installed on the upright 105 of the feeding cage by bolts.

[0037] Specifically, in order to facilitate the connection of two chicken feeders 102 together, one end of the chicken feeder 102 is provided with a recess 114. The recess 114 is set in a direction away from the interior and is used to connect with the adjacent chicken feeder 102. When the two chicken feeders 102 are connected, one is placed in the recess 114 of the other.

[0038] Specifically, to prevent the rotating adjusting bolt 110 from damaging the folded edge 108, a sleeve 115 is fitted over the top of the adjusting bolt 110. The sleeve 115 is hollow and fits over the top of the adjusting bolt 110. A top cover is provided on the top of the sleeve 115 to prevent the adjusting bolt 110 from passing through the sleeve 115 and contacting the folded edge 108. A groove is provided on the top of the top plate, which is inserted into the bottom of the folded edge 108 through the groove. When the adjusting bolt 110 rotates inside the groove, it will not affect the top of the folded edge 108. The groove is provided on the top of the sleeve 115, and the folded edge 108 is located in the groove. The groove is used to maintain the relative positional relationship between the sleeve 115 and the folded edge 108. In one embodiment, the sleeve 115 is a plastic part.

[0039] Specifically, to prevent poultry from being cut, the chicken feeder 102 is provided with a first bend 116 and a second bend 117 located away from the upright 105. The ends of the first bend 116 and the second bend 117 are folded over to prevent the barbs at the ends from affecting the poultry. The first bend 116 is located at the end closest to the upright 105. The first bend 116 and the second bend 117 are arranged in an arc shape. The second bend 117 can be stepped on by the feeder, making it easier for the feeder to observe the feeding of poultry at higher positions.

[0040] Specifically, to prevent the edges of the two chicken feeders 102 from warping at the overlapping point, a limiting frame 118 is provided above each feeder 102. The limiting frame 118 has two grippers that press the connection point together. The limiting frame 118 is connected to the upright 105 and presses above the first bend 116. The first bend 116 is closest to the poultry and is prone to causing injury. The limiting frame 118 serves to prevent the edges from warping.

[0041] Specifically, in order to accommodate the height difference of the chicken feeders 102, the limiting frame 118 is provided with a strip adjustment groove 119. The height at the connection of the two chicken feeders 102 will increase, and the strip adjustment groove 119 on the limiting frame 118 can adapt to the change in height.

[0042] In this embodiment, the support member 103 is bolted to the upright 105 and the bracket 101 is fixed by clamping. The chicken feeder 102 is bolted to the inclined support part 112 of the bracket 101. When the height of the bracket 101 at a certain position is insufficient, the adjusting bolt 110 on the support member 103 is rotated and the adjusting bolt 110 will move upward. The folded edge 108 pushes it upward, and at this time the bracket 101 can be connected with the chicken feeder 102, which has the function of maintaining stability and fixation.

[0043] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
