Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of poultry farming technology, and more specifically, to a pigeon cage for breeding young pigeons. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the pigeon farming industry has developed rapidly, becoming the fourth largest poultry industry after chickens, ducks, and geese. To save on farming space, the industry commonly adopts a dense "back-to-back" arrangement of two rows of pigeon cages (the back of the cage refers to the side with the cage doors facing each other). However, this layout has significant drawbacks. During the young pigeon stage, their small size allows them to adapt to the narrow spacing between cages. But as they grow to maturity, the increased size leads to frequent fighting among pigeons in adjacent rows due to space constraints, resulting in wound infections, decreased immunity, and severely impacting their health and growth performance. Simultaneously, droppings from one cage can easily splash onto the opposite cage, causing cross-contamination of the farming environment and increasing the risk of disease transmission.

[0003] To address these issues, cage spacing needs to be adjusted according to the pigeons' growth stages during the breeding process. Currently, the main methods rely on moving devices (such as forklifts) to move the entire cage rows or on manual handling. These methods are not only cumbersome and inefficient, but the violent vibrations and large displacements generated during movement also cause severe stress to the pigeons, which is detrimental to their growth and development. Furthermore, when young pigeons mature and need to be transferred to another production area, manual or mechanical handling is required. This process is labor-intensive, stressful for the pigeons, and can easily cause injury. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the need to adjust the cage spacing according to the growth stage of pigeons in the existing pigeon breeding process, and to provide a breeding pigeon cage that can reduce the stress on pigeons during the spacing adjustment process and improve operational efficiency.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A breeding pigeon cage for meat pigeons is provided, comprising a support frame on which a plurality of pigeon cages are mounted, and a sliding assembly comprising a guide rail, a pulley, and a connecting shaft. The guide rail is slidably connected to the pulley, the pulley is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft, and the connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support frame. A plurality of pin holes are provided on the sides of both the guide rail and the pulley.

[0006] In the operation of the above scheme, pulleys are fixed to the bottom of the support frame via a coupling, and the pulleys are nested on guide rails fixed to the ground, forming a sliding connection. When it is necessary to adjust the spacing between the two rows of "back-to-back" pigeon cages, the operator can apply a pushing force to the pigeon cages, driving the pulleys to slide smoothly along the guide rails, thereby moving the entire row of pigeon cages synchronously. When the pigeon cages move to the predetermined position, the corresponding pin holes pre-set on the guide rails and the sides of the pulleys will align with each other. At this time, inserting the pins into these aligned pin holes simultaneously locks the relative position of the pulleys and the guide rails, thus firmly fixing the entire support frame and the pigeon cages above, effectively preventing them from shifting during use. This avoids the problems of large vibrations and cumbersome operation of traditional moving methods, making the cage spacing adjustment process labor-saving and smooth, and greatly reducing stress on the pigeons. At the same time, this structure also provides convenience for the transfer of mature young pigeons to the next production area. The pigeon cages can be directly slid off the guide rails before being transferred, significantly improving transfer efficiency and reducing labor intensity.

[0007] Furthermore, the sliding assembly also includes a load-bearing wheel, which is located on the shaft segment of the connecting shaft between the two pulleys and is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft. The load-bearing wheel is placed in the middle of the connecting shaft connecting the two pulleys, and its direct function is to bear most of the vertical downward load of the support frame and the pigeon cage, reducing the bearing load of a single pulley, effectively preventing deformation or damage caused by long-term heavy pressure, and improving the durability of the entire system.

[0008] Furthermore, mudguards are installed at both ends of the connecting shaft, and the pulley is located inside the mudguard and rotatably connected to the mudguard; the mudguard forms a semi-enclosed protection for the pulley assembly, effectively solving the operational failure problem caused by the invasion of impurities such as dust, feathers, and fecal particles in the farm.

[0009] Furthermore, a base plate is provided at the bottom of the support frame. One side of the base plate is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft, and a first partition area is provided between the other side of the base plate and the bottom surface of the pigeon cage. A liner is laid in the first partition area above the base plate, which realizes the standardized collection of feces. The liner is disposable, so the staff no longer need to clean the base plate. They only need to replace the liner periodically to quickly complete the cleaning work. The operation is simple, hygienic and efficient, which significantly reduces labor intensity and labor costs.

[0010] Furthermore, the guide rail has a plurality of pin holes arranged along its length, and the pulley has a plurality of pin holes arranged circumferentially. The pin holes arranged along the length of the guide rail are a pre-set series of fixed, equidistant locking points. Each time the pulley slides to a new hole position, it signifies that the pigeon cage has acquired a new fixed position. By densely arranging the pin holes, flexible positioning along the length of the guide rail is achieved, allowing the spacing between the two rows of pigeon cages to be adjusted significantly in a stepped manner according to the different stages of the young pigeons' growth.

[0011] Furthermore, the pigeon cages on the supporting frame are arranged in two to four layers in the vertical direction, and the number of pigeon cages in each layer is three to five in the horizontal direction. A second interval area is set between two adjacent layers of pigeon cages. The arrangement of two to four layers of pigeon cages in the vertical direction realizes three-dimensional breeding, improves the breeding efficiency per unit land area, and the second interval area ensures that each layer of cages has more ventilation and lighting space, avoiding the direct inhalation of exhaust gas, feathers and dust exhaled by pigeons on the upper layer by pigeons on the lower layer, effectively improving the air environment in the cage and reducing the risk of respiratory disease transmission.

[0012] Furthermore, a manure collection plate is provided in the second interval area, and the manure collection plate is detachably connected to the top surface of the pigeon cage below the top layer; the top surface of the lower pigeon cage is equipped with a manure collection plate, which is used to intercept and receive the manure excreted by the pigeons in the upper layer.

[0013] Furthermore, the top surface of the pigeon cage below the top layer is inclined, and the manure collection plate is parallel to the top surface of the pigeon cage; by setting the top surface of the pigeon cage parallel to and inclined to the manure collection plate, gravity is used to realize the automatic collection and guidance of excrement, making it easier for farmers to clean up the excrement and improving the efficiency and cleanliness of the cleaning work.

[0014] Furthermore, a water pipe and a water basin are installed on the support frame. The water basin is located at the bottom of the pigeon cage, and the outlet of the water pipe is opposite to the water basin. The water basin is fixedly installed on the support frame and located at the bottom of the cage, precisely aligned with the outlet of the water pipe, forming a structurally integrated closed water supply loop to improve watering efficiency.

[0015] Furthermore, a dust baffle is installed above the water basin, and the dust baffle is detachably connected to the pigeon cage; the dust baffle can effectively block pollutants such as feathers, dust, and fecal particles falling from above the cage into the water basin, avoiding the possibility of the drinking water being contaminated due to exposure to the breeding environment, and ensuring the cleanliness of the pigeons' drinking water.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. Several pigeon cages are installed on the support frame, which also includes a sliding assembly. The sliding assembly includes a guide rail, pulleys, and a connecting shaft. The guide rail and pulleys are slidably connected, the pulleys and connecting shafts are rotatably connected, and the connecting shafts are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support frame. Several pin holes are provided on the sides of the guide rail and pulleys. Operators can apply a pushing force to the rows of pigeon cages to drive the pulleys to slide smoothly along the guide rails, avoiding the large vibrations and cumbersome operation of traditional moving methods. This can reduce the stress on the pigeons during the spacing adjustment process and improve operational efficiency.

[0017] 2. A first partition area is set between the other side of the bottom plate and the bottom surface of the pigeon cage. A second partition area is set between two adjacent layers of pigeon cages. A manure collection board is set in the second partition area. The top surface of the pigeon cages below the top layer is inclined. The manure collection board is parallel to the top surface of the pigeon cage. A liner is laid in the first partition area above the bottom plate. A manure collection board is set on the top surface of the pigeon cage in the second partition area. This makes it easier for farmers to clean up excrement and improves the efficiency and cleanliness of the cleaning work. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Example 1 This embodiment is a first embodiment of a young pigeon cage for meat pigeon breeding, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the system includes a support frame 100, on which several pigeon cages 200 are mounted, and a sliding assembly 300. The sliding assembly 300 includes a guide rail 310, a pulley 320, and a connecting shaft 330. The guide rail 310 and the pulley 320 are slidably connected, the pulley 320 and the connecting shaft 330 are rotatably connected, and the connecting shaft 330 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support frame 100. Several pin holes 400 are provided on the sides of both the guide rail 310 and the pulley 320.

[0023] Specifically, the sliding assembly 300 also includes a load-bearing wheel 340, which is located on the shaft segment of the connecting shaft 330 between the two pulleys 320 and is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 330. The load-bearing wheel 340 is placed in the middle of the connecting shaft 330 connecting the two pulleys 320, and its direct function is to bear most of the vertical downward load of the support frame 100 and the pigeon cage 200, thereby reducing the bearing load of a single pulley 320, effectively preventing deformation or damage caused by long-term heavy pressure, and improving the durability of the entire system.

[0024] Specifically, mudguards 331 are installed at both ends of the coupling 330, and the pulley 320 is located inside the mudguard 331 and is rotatably connected to the mudguard 331; the mudguard 331 forms a semi-enclosed protection for the pulley 320 assembly, effectively solving the problem of operational failure caused by the invasion of impurities such as dust, feathers, and fecal particles in the farm.

[0025] Specifically, such as Figure 3As shown, a number of pin holes 400 on the guide rail 310 are arranged along the length of the guide rail 310, and a number of pin holes 400 on the pulley 320 are arranged circumferentially. The pin holes 400 arranged along the length of the guide rail 310 are a series of preset, fixed, and equidistant locking points. Each time the pulley 320 slides to a new hole position, it means that the pigeon cage 200 has obtained a new fixed position. By densely arranging the pin holes 400, flexible positioning along the length of the guide rail 310 is achieved, allowing the spacing between the two rows of pigeon cages 200 to be adjusted significantly in a stepped manner according to the different stages of the young pigeons' growth.

[0026] The working principle of a young pigeon cage for meat pigeon breeding in this embodiment is as follows: When the spacing between the two rows of pigeon cages 200 needs to be adjusted, the operator applies a pushing force to the support frame 100. At this time, the connecting shaft 330 fixed to the bottom of the frame drives the pulleys 320 at both ends and the load-bearing wheel 340 in the middle to roll on the guide rail 310 fixed to the ground. The load-bearing wheel 340 bears most of the vertical load, ensuring that the pulley 320 mainly plays a guiding role, making the movement smooth and effortless. The mudguard 331 continuously prevents dust, feathers and other debris from entering the bearings of the pulley 320 during the movement, ensuring smooth sliding.

[0027] When the pigeon cage 200 is pushed to near the target position, a fine adjustment is made to align a pin hole 400 on the guide rail 310 along its length with a pin hole 400 on the circumference of the pulley 320. At this point, inserting the pins into these aligned holes simultaneously locks the pulley 320 and the guide rail 310 together, thus firmly securing the entire support frame 100 and the pigeon cage 200.

[0028] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are as follows: the densely packed pin holes 400 on the guide rail 310 provide a macroscopic range of spacing adjustment, while the multiple pin holes 400 on the circumference of the pulley 320 ensure that a corresponding locking point can be found at any position, achieving flexible, precise, and reliable fixing. The entire process is simple to operate, moves smoothly, and is firmly fixed, effectively avoiding stress caused to the pigeons by excessive shaking of the cage.

[0029] Example 2 This embodiment is a second embodiment of a young pigeon cage for meat pigeon breeding, such as... Figure 1As shown, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that the bottom of the support frame 100 is provided with a base plate 110. One side of the base plate 110 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 330, and the other side of the base plate 110 is provided with a first partition area 120 between it and the bottom surface of the pigeon cage 200. A pad is laid in the first partition area above the base plate 110, which realizes the standardized collection of feces. The pad is disposable, and the staff no longer need to clean the base plate 110. They only need to replace the pad periodically to quickly complete the cleaning work. The operation is simple, hygienic and efficient, which significantly reduces labor intensity and labor costs.

[0030] Specifically, the pigeon cages 200 on the supporting frame 100 are arranged in two to four layers in the vertical direction, and the number of pigeon cages 200 in each layer is three to five in the horizontal direction. A second partition area 130 is set between two adjacent layers of pigeon cages 200. The arrangement of two to four layers of pigeon cages 200 in the vertical direction realizes three-dimensional breeding, improves the breeding efficiency per unit land area, and the second partition area 130 ensures that each layer of cages has more ventilation and lighting space, and avoids the exhaust gas, feathers and dust exhaled by the pigeons on the upper layer being directly inhaled by the pigeons on the lower layer, effectively improving the air environment in the cage and reducing the risk of respiratory disease transmission.

[0031] Specifically, a manure collection plate 210 is provided in the second interval zone 130. The manure collection plate 210 is detachably connected to the top surface of the pigeon cage 200 below the top layer. The manure collection plate 210 is installed on the top surface of the lower pigeon cage 200, and its function is to intercept and receive the manure excreted by the pigeons in the upper layer.

[0032] Specifically, the top surface of the pigeon cage 200 below the top layer is inclined, and the manure collection plate 210 is parallel to the top surface of the pigeon cage 200. By setting the top surface of the pigeon cage 200 parallel to and inclined to the manure collection plate 210, gravity is used to realize the automatic collection and guidance of excrement, making it easier for farmers to clean up excrement and improving the efficiency and cleanliness of cleaning work.

[0033] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the support frame 100 has three layers of pigeon cages 200 in the height direction. Each layer has four pigeon cages 200 arranged longitudinally. The top plane of the pigeon cages 200 in the first and second layers is inclined and a manure collection plate 210 is installed. The inclination direction is such that the height of the side with the cage door (front) is greater than the height of the side opposite the cage door (back). The top plane of the pigeon cages 200 in the third layer is a horizontal plane.

[0034] The working principle of a young pigeon cage for meat pigeon breeding in this embodiment is as follows: Feces first fall through the bottom grid of the cage. For the lowest pigeon cage 200, the feces fall directly onto the disposable paper mat laid on the bottom plate 110 in the first partition area 120, achieving preliminary standardized collection and isolation of the feces. For the upper pigeon cages 200, the feces fall onto the manure collection plate 210 installed on top of the pigeon cages 200 in the second partition area 130. Both the top surface of the pigeon cage 200 and the manure collection plate 210 are inclined, using gravity to automatically collect the feces falling from the upper layer to the lower side.

[0035] When cleaning is required, for the upper-level pigeon cages 200, the farmer scrapes the manure from both sides of each row of cages 200 onto the lowest point of the lower-level inclined manure collection plate 210. Then, cleaning tools are used to scrape and clean the manure collection plate 210. For the bottom-level pigeon cages 200, the manure is collected by disposable paper pads on the bottom plate 110. The farmer can use the sliding component 300 to push apart adjacent rows of pigeon cages 200, increasing the distance between them and creating a spacious working passage. Then, the farmer enters this gap to replace the disposable paper pads.

[0036] After cleaning, the personnel leave, and then the pigeon cage 200 is moved back to the required working distance and locked.

[0037] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are: the related arrangement of the manure receiving plate 210 and the bottom plate 110 enables systematic and efficient cleaning of excrement from multi-layer and multi-row pigeon cages 200, significantly improving cleaning quality and work efficiency.

[0038] Example 3 This embodiment is a third embodiment of a young pigeon cage for meat pigeon breeding, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that a water pipe 500 and a water basin 600 are installed on the support frame 100. The water basin 600 is located at the bottom of the pigeon cage 200, and the outlet of the water pipe 500 is opposite to the water basin 600. The water basin 600 is fixedly installed on the support frame 100 and located at the bottom of the cage, precisely opposite to the outlet of the water pipe 500, forming a structurally integrated closed water supply loop, which improves the water feeding efficiency.

[0039] Specifically, a dust baffle 610 is installed above the water basin 600. The dust baffle 610 is detachably connected to the pigeon cage 200. The dust baffle 610 can effectively block pollutants such as feathers, dust, and fecal particles falling from the top of the cage into the water basin 600, avoiding the possibility of the drinking water being contaminated due to exposure to the breeding environment, and ensuring the cleanliness of the pigeons' drinking water.

[0040] like Figure 1As shown, the water basin 600 is installed at the bottom of the front of the pigeon cage 200 and is placed between two adjacent pigeon cages 200. This eliminates the need to install a water basin 600 at the bottom of each pigeon cage 200 for feeding. The pigeons in the two pigeon cages 200 share one water basin 600, which can reduce the layout of water pipes 500 and improve feeding efficiency.

[0041] The working principle of a young pigeon cage for meat pigeon breeding in this embodiment is as follows: During daily water supply, the water pipe 500 directly fills the water basin 600 fixed at the bottom of the cage, while the detachable dust baffle 610 above the water basin 600 continuously plays a key role in preventing dust, feathers and other pollutants from falling, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the drinking water.

[0042] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are: the water basin 600 eliminates the need for breeders to move or open the pigeon cage 200, achieving efficient in-situ cleaning of the water supply system, greatly reducing interference to the pigeon flock and the labor intensity of operators, and effectively maintaining the continuous hygiene of drinking water.

[0043] In the specific implementation of the above embodiments, the technical features can be combined in any non-contradictory way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the above technical features are described. However, as long as the combination of these technical features is not contradictory, it should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0044] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
