Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fattening cage technology, specifically to a fattening cage for squabs. Background Technology

[0002] Squabs, also known as meat pigeons, refer to young pigeons under 4 weeks old. Squabs grow quickly, have a large appetite, and low immunity, so they need special cages for protection. Therefore, fattening cages are needed to raise squabs to facilitate feeding operations and ensure the healthy growth of squabs.

[0003] In existing technologies, square wire mesh fattening cages are commonly used to raise squabs. By using wire mesh to weave square-shaped cages, squabs can be prevented from escaping the cages and can be effectively prevented from being crushed or trampled to death. It is also easy to clean up droppings. However, these cages usually have the feeding trough placed inside the cage, and feed is added manually. This requires workers to feed the squabs multiple times, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In addition, the height of the feeding trough is fixed, and the squabs in the cage may have different feed intakes due to differences in size, which leads to poor fattening results. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a pigeon fattening cage, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the difficulty in automatically adding feed and the inability to adapt to pigeons of different body sizes, resulting in poor pigeon fattening effects.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a pigeon fattening cage, comprising a cage body, a feed storage trough, a first feed trough, a feeding mechanism, a second feed trough, and a transport trough. The cage body has an opening. The feed storage trough is fixedly disposed within the cage body. A cover is hinged to the feed storage trough. A discharge port is provided on the feed storage trough. A first inclined surface is provided inside the feed storage trough. The first feed trough is fixedly disposed within the cage body. The feeding mechanism is disposed within the feed storage trough for blocking or releasing feed from the feed storage trough. The second feed trough is fixedly disposed within the cage body. The transport trough is disposed within the cage body, and both ends of the transport trough are respectively connected to the first feed trough and the second feed trough.

[0008] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism includes a baffle plate and an electric cylinder. A groove is provided on the first inclined surface, the baffle plate is slidably disposed in the groove, the electric cylinder is installed in the first inclined surface, and the output end of the electric cylinder is fixedly connected to one end of the baffle plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the first feeding trough is located diagonally above the second feeding trough, and both the first and second feeding troughs are provided with through grooves that communicate with the conveying trough. The through groove on the first feeding trough is located at the top of the side wall of the first feeding trough.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this solution, a second inclined surface is fixedly provided inside both the first feeding trough and the second feeding trough.

[0011] As a further step in this solution, a pressure sensor is installed on the bottom wall of the second feeding trough, and the pressure sensor is electrically connected to the electric cylinder.

[0012] Based on the aforementioned scheme, the other end of the baffle plate is an inclined surface that cooperates with the first inclined surface, and the storage tank is provided with a slot that cooperates with the other end of the baffle plate.

[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a fattening cage for squabs, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] In this invention, through the cooperation of a storage trough, a first feeding trough, a feeding mechanism, a pressure sensor, a second feeding trough, and a conveying trough, after feed is loaded into the storage trough, the other end of the baffle plate is moved out of the slot by activating the electric cylinder. The feed is then transferred to the first feeding trough through the discharge port. Larger squabs can eat the feed in the first feeding trough first. The feed in the first feeding trough gradually increases and is transferred to the second feeding trough through the conveying trough to feed smaller squabs. When the pressure sensor detects that there is too much feed in the second feeding trough, it sends a signal to the electric cylinder and controls the electric cylinder to move the baffle plate toward the slot. This controls the amount of feed in the second feeding trough, prevents feed from overflowing, and facilitates automatic feeding and reasonable feeding. Attached Figure Description

[0021] 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.

[0022] Example

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 4 A squab fattening cage includes a cage body 1, which is composed of a frame and wire mesh. The wire mesh is wound and tightened with the frame and can be detachably connected. One end of the cage body 1 can be opened by loosening the wire mesh with pliers, so that the squabs can be taken out and released. It also includes a storage trough 2, a first feeding trough 6, a feeding mechanism, a second feeding trough 7, and a transport trough 8.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, the cage body 1 has an opening, and the storage trough 2 is fixedly installed inside the cage body 1. The storage trough 2 is connected to the outside of the cage body 1 through the opening. The storage trough 2 is hinged with a cover 3. By opening the cover 3, feed can be loaded into the storage trough 2, and it is convenient to add feed. It should be noted that the feed for raising squabs is usually solid pellet feed, which has fluidity and avoids sticking. The storage trough 2 has a discharge port 4. The storage trough 2 is provided with a first inclined surface 5. The bottom end of the first inclined surface 5 is located on one side of the discharge port 4. The first feeding trough 6 is fixedly installed inside the cage body 1. The first feeding trough 6 is fixedly installed inside the cage body 1 by two fixing plates 16. One end of the first feeding trough 6 abuts against the bottom end of the storage trough 2 and is connected to the discharge port 4.

[0025] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a feeding mechanism is installed inside the storage trough 2 to block or release feed from the storage trough 2. The feeding mechanism includes a baffle plate 9 and an electric cylinder 11. A groove 10 is provided on the first inclined surface 5, and the baffle plate 9 is slidably disposed in the groove 10. The baffle plate 9 simultaneously abuts against and slides against the inner wall of the storage trough 2. The other end of the baffle plate 9 is an inclined surface that cooperates with the first inclined surface 5. A slot 15 is provided on the storage trough 2 to cooperate with the other end of the baffle plate 9. The electric cylinder 11 is installed inside the first inclined surface 5. The output end of the electric cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the baffle plate 9. By starting the electric cylinder 11, the output end of the electric cylinder 11 drives the baffle plate 9 to move along the inner wall of the slide 10 toward the slot 15. When the other end of the baffle plate 9 is inserted into the slot 15, the feed stops transferring and no feed passes through the discharge port 4. When the baffle plate 9 moves away from the slot 15, the feed can be transferred through the discharge port 4 to the first feed trough 6. As the baffle plate 9 moves, the transfer speed of the feed becomes faster and faster.

[0026] It should be added that when one end of the baffle plate 9 abuts against the inner wall of the chute 10, the other inclined surface of the baffle plate 9 matches the first inclined surface 5. The feed slides down along the first inclined surface 5 and the other end of the baffle plate 9. The sealing effect between the baffle plate 9 and the inner wall of the chute 10 is good, making it difficult for feed to enter the chute 10. It should also be added that after the feeding is finished, the residual feed residue in the slot 15 needs to be cleaned regularly.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, the second feeding trough 7 is fixedly installed inside the cage body 1, and the first feeding trough 6 is located diagonally above the second feeding trough 7. This can accommodate the feeding of squabs of different sizes. Larger squabs eat the feed in the first feeding trough 6, and smaller squabs eat the feed in the second feeding trough 7. Furthermore, when the feed baffle 9 does not block the transfer of feed, the feed will first enter the first feeding trough 6, allowing the larger squabs to eat first.

[0028] The feed trough 8 is installed inside the cage body 1. The two ends of the feed trough 8 are connected to the first feed trough 6 and the second feed trough 7 respectively. Both the first feed trough 6 and the second feed trough 7 are provided with a through trough 12 that is connected to the feed trough 8. The through trough 12 on the first feed trough 6 is located at the top of the side wall of the first feed trough 6. When the feed in the first feed trough 6 gradually increases and the "horizontal level" is higher than the through trough 12 on the first feed trough 6, the feed will enter the feed trough 8 through the through trough 12 on the first feed trough 6 and be transferred to the second feed trough 7 to provide feed for small squabs.

[0029] Both the first feeding trough 6 and the second feeding trough 7 are fixedly equipped with a second inclined surface 13, which can transfer the feed to the side away from the feed trough 8, providing the squabs with a larger activity space to eat. A pressure sensor 14 is installed on the bottom wall of the second feeding trough 7. The pressure sensor 14 is electrically connected to the electric cylinder 11. The pressure sensor 14 is installed on one side of the second inclined surface 13 in the second feeding trough 7. The electric cylinder 11 is equipped with a controller that works with the pressure sensor 14. When the pressure sensor 14 detects that there is too much feed in the second feeding trough 7, it transmits a signal to the electric cylinder 11 and controls the electric cylinder 11 to move the baffle plate 9 toward the slot 15, thereby controlling the amount of feed in the second feeding trough 7, preventing feed from overflowing the second feeding trough 7, and facilitating automatic feeding. It should be added that the first feeding trough 6 will continuously feed, which can supply larger squabs (larger squabs need more feed), making it easier to feed them properly.

[0030] It should be further explained that the electric cylinder 11 in this embodiment is a conventional device known to those skilled in the art and available on the market. The model can be selected or customized according to actual needs. In this patent, we only use it without improving its structure and function. Its setting method, installation method and electrical connection method can be debugged and operated by those skilled in the art according to the requirements of its instruction manual. It will not be described in detail here. The electric cylinder 11 is equipped with a matching control switch. The installation position of the control switch can be selected according to the actual use requirements to facilitate the operator's operation and control.

[0031] In summary, when feeding squabs, this squab fattening cage allows feed to be loaded into the storage trough 2 by opening the cover 3 and placing the other end of the feed baffle 9 into the slot 15. Activating the electric cylinder 11 moves the feed baffle 9 along the inner wall of the slide 10 away from the slot 15. Once the other end of the feed baffle 9 is removed from the slot 15, the feed is transferred to the first feeding trough 6 through the discharge port 4. Larger squabs can eat the feed in the first feeding trough 6 first, and the amount of feed in the first feeding trough 6 gradually increases. When the "horizontal plane" is higher than the through-hole 12 on the first feeding trough 6, the feed will enter the conveying trough 8 through the through-hole 12 on the first feeding trough 6 and be transferred to the second feeding trough 7 to feed the small squabs. When the pressure sensor 14 detects that there is too much feed in the second feeding trough 7, it sends a signal to the electric cylinder 11 and controls the electric cylinder 11 to move the baffle plate 9 toward the slot 15. This controls the amount of feed in the second feeding trough 7, prevents the feed from overflowing, and facilitates automatic feeding and reasonable feeding.

[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
