Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of poultry transfer equipment technology, and in particular to a multi-layer transfer chicken cage with disinfection function. Background Technology

[0002] In the modern egg-laying hen farming industry, in order to prevent the spread of diseases and ensure the health of the flock, egg-laying hen farming enterprises generally adopt the "all-in, all-out" feeding model, which means that laying hens and pullets are raised separately. That is, the pullets are raised in the chick rearing area until they reach a certain age and then transferred to the laying hen rearing area. During the transfer of laying hens, in order to improve the efficiency of the transfer, chicken transport vehicles are usually used for the transfer.

[0003] For example, the Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN216492773U discloses a chicken transfer vehicle for chicken farms, which includes a transfer device. The transfer device is equipped with a stacked chicken transfer frame. The chicken transfer frame is equipped with an upward pull-up frame door. The height of each layer of the chicken transfer frame can be adjusted to make the frame door of the chicken transfer frame aligned with the chicken cage door.

[0004] According to the patent disclosure, users need to pull the frame door upwards to open the internal space of the rotating chicken frame. After pulling the frame door upwards, the frame door will occupy the upper space of the rotating chicken frame. Therefore, sufficient space needs to be reserved in the rotating chicken frames on adjacent layers for the frame door to open. Utility Model Content

[0014] 2. This device guides the door body by setting a guide component. When opening the cage door, only the upper side of the door body needs to be pushed to open the cage door. After the cage door is opened to the correct position, the door body will be engaged with the limiting cavity under the elastic support of the elastic support mechanism, so that the cage door remains stably open, which improves the ease of operation of this device.

[0015] 3. This device uses mutually perpendicular horizontal and vertical guides to guide the door, so that during the opening process, the upper horizontal bar of the door slides towards the inside of the cage, while the lower horizontal bar slides towards the top of the cage. During the opening process, the lower side of the door always maintains a certain volume of clearance space, which further improves the utilization rate of the internal space of the cage.

[0016] 4. By adding a disinfection module, after the user completes the transfer of laying hens, disinfectant is added to the water tank and the water pump is turned on. The water pump and spray pipes can then evenly spray the disinfectant into the inner cavity of each cage layer. This design significantly improves the convenience of the disinfection operation.

[0034] Above, refer to Figures 1-6 A multi-layer transfer chicken cage with disinfection function according to an embodiment of the present invention is described, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. This device solves the problems existing in the prior art by setting a cage door 2 that opens towards the inside of the cage 11, thus avoiding the occupation of external space when the cage door 2 is open.

[0035] 2. This device guides the door 21 by setting the guide component 22. When opening the cage door 2, only the upper side of the door 21 needs to be pushed to open the cage door 2. After the cage door 2 is opened, the door 21 will be engaged with the limiting cavity 2223 under the elastic support of the elastic support mechanism, so that the cage door 2 remains stably open, which improves the ease of operation of this device.

[0036] 3. This device uses mutually perpendicular horizontal guides 221 and vertical guides 222 to guide the door 21, so that during the opening of the cage door 2, the upper horizontal bar 211 of the door 21 slides toward the inside of the layer cage 11, while the lower horizontal bar 212 of the door 21 slides toward the top of the layer cage 11. During the opening of the cage door 2, the lower side of the door 21 always maintains a certain volume of clearance space, which further improves the utilization rate of the internal space of the layer cage 11 of this device.

[0037] 4. By adding a disinfection module 3, after the user completes the transfer of laying hens, disinfectant is added to the water tank 31 and the water pump 33 is turned on. The water pump 33 and the spray pipe 32 can then evenly spray the disinfectant into the inner cavity of each layer of cage 11. This design significantly improves the convenience of the disinfection operation.
