Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of poultry farming equipment technology, and in particular to a water additive device for the storage of chicks. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of raising chicks, especially during the storage stage from hatching to transfer to other flocks, the timely and efficient supply of hydration supplements is crucial for improving chick survival rates. Two to three days after beak trimming, chicks experience beak pain, making it difficult to feed and drink. Furthermore, their mobility is weak, placing extremely high demands on the stability, ease of feeding, and safety of hydration supplement dispensing equipment. Simultaneously, in large-scale farming settings, the frequent movement of chick crates directly impacts the anti-displacement performance of the dispensing equipment, affecting hydration supplement utilization and the chicks' living environment.

[0003] In existing technologies, the addition of hydration agents to chicks is mostly done using ordinary long, narrow feeding troughs, which has the following core drawbacks:

[0004] Firstly, it has poor stability. Ordinary feed troughs are lightweight and easily shift when chicks move or the chick crates are moved, causing the watering agent to spill out and wet the chicks, increasing the risk of disease.

[0005] Secondly, the feeding efficiency is low. The feed troughs lack color stimulation design, resulting in weak willingness of chicks to start eating. Furthermore, the lack of a guiding structure leads to uneven distribution of the hydration agent, causing some chicks to not eat enough.

[0006] Third, there is a lack of safety. The edges of the feed troughs are mostly right-angled, which can easily scratch the chicks, especially causing secondary damage to chicks that are sensitive after beak trimming.

[0007] Fourth, disassembly and cleaning are inconvenient; the one-piece molded structure is difficult to clean thoroughly, which can easily breed bacteria and cause disease.

[0008] Fifth, it has poor adaptability, does not match the size of conventional chick frames, and is prone to occupying activity space or being not securely fixed.

[0009] In response to the practical pain points in the above-mentioned breeding process, there is an urgent need for a water additive device with stable positioning, efficient feeding guidance, safety protection and convenient disassembly and assembly, so as to meet the special needs of the chick storage stage and improve the survival rate and management efficiency of breeding. Utility Model Content

[0010] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a watering agent adder for chick storage, which solves the technical problems of traditional chick watering agent adder feeders being prone to displacement leading to watering agent spillage, insufficient stimulation and guidance for chicks to eat, easy to scratch chicks, inconvenient disassembly and cleaning, and poor compatibility with chick frames.

[0011] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0012] A water additive dispenser for chick storage includes a feed trough body, a feed trough kit, and a counterweight block;

[0013] The feeder kit is entirely red and has baffles fixed to its inner walls. The red design can visually stimulate the chicks' willingness to eat, especially suitable for chicks with sensitive beaks and weak feeding ability 2-3 days after beak trimming. It can significantly improve the feeding efficiency of the water supplement and avoid the problem of insufficient water supplementation caused by some chicks' low willingness to eat. The baffles can separate and guide the water supplement, preventing local accumulation of the water supplement in the feeder and ensuring that chicks in different positions can eat easily.

[0014] The four side walls of the feeding trough kit are all hollow walls, and the feeding trough kit is movably connected to the four side walls of the feeding trough body through the hollow walls; the detachable connection structure makes it easy to separate the feeding trough kit from the feeding trough body after use, which can thoroughly clean the inner wall of the feeding trough kit, the inner cavity of the feeding trough body and the surface of the baffle, solving the problem of incomplete cleaning and easy bacterial growth of traditional one-piece molded feeding troughs, and meeting the hygiene requirements of large-scale breeding.

[0015] Side strips are fixed to the bottom of both ends of the feeding trough body, and locking strips are fixed to the opposite sides of the two side strips.

[0016] Both ends of the counterweight are provided with slotted grooves.

[0017] Preferably, the two strip grooves are respectively engaged with the two locking strips;

[0018] The front and rear of the counterweight are flush with the front and rear outer walls of the trough body, respectively. The precise engagement of the locking strip and the groove allows for quick assembly and disassembly of the counterweight and the trough body. At the same time, the flush design of the counterweight and the trough body ensures the overall center of gravity is balanced, preventing the trough from tilting due to a shift in the center of gravity, and further improving the stability of the placement.

[0019] Preferably, an extension ring is fixed to the bottom of the outer wall of the feed trough kit. The bottom of the extension ring is flush with the bottom surface of the side strip. The extension ring and the side strip together form a bottom support surface, making the feed trough more stable in contact with the bottom of the chick frame and avoiding the trough shaking due to uneven local force. At the same time, the extension ring can limit the fitting position of the feed trough kit and prevent the feed trough kit from sliding up and down along the feed trough body during use.

[0020] Preferred design: The bottom surfaces of the counterweight and side strip are flush. This design allows the counterweight, side strip, and bottom of the chick frame to form a stable three-point contact. The counterweight itself provides a stable downward force to the feed trough, and the feed trough can be kept fixed in the chick frame without the need for additional fasteners. This effectively solves the displacement problem caused by chick movement or chick frame movement in traditional lightweight feed troughs, avoids watering agents from spilling and wetting the chicks, and reduces the risk of diseases such as colds and pecking caused by dampness in the chicks.

[0021] Preferred design: The bottom surface of the baffle is fitted to the inner bottom surface of the feed trough body, and both ends of the baffle are fixed with arc-shaped edges. The fitted design of the baffle and the inner bottom surface of the feed trough body can prevent the water replenishing agent from leaking from the gap between the baffle and the bottom of the trough, ensuring that all the water replenishing agent remains in the feeding area; the arc-shaped edges can eliminate the safety hazards of the right-angled edges of traditional feed troughs, avoid the chicks being scratched in the mouth during feeding, and especially protect the sensitive beak after beak breakage, reducing secondary damage.

[0022] Preferably, the curved edge side is fixed to the inner wall of the feeding trough kit.

[0023] Preferably, the upper ends of both the feeding trough body and the feeding trough kit are beveled ends, the left and right inner walls of the extension ring are coated with a layer of anti-slip pads, there is a gap between the inner wall of the extension ring and the outer wall of the side strip, and the anti-slip pads are located in the gap between the inner wall of the extension ring and the outer wall of the side strip.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] The counterweight structure is formed by the interlocking strips on the bottom side of the feed trough and the slotted strips of the counterweight block. The counterweight block is flush with the bottom surface of the side strips and the front and rear walls are flush with the feed trough body, ensuring overall balance. This design allows the feeder to be stably placed in the chick crate without additional fixing, and there is no displacement when the chicks move or the chick crate is moved. This completely solves the problem of feeder spillage caused by displacement in traditional feed troughs, avoids diseases such as colds and pecking caused by wet chicks, and reduces mortality.

[0026] The feeding trough kit features an overall red design, effectively stimulating the chicks' visual nerves and increasing their willingness to start eating, especially suitable for chicks with weakened feeding ability after beak trimming. The fixed baffle on the inner wall, combined with the curved edges at both ends, ensures even distribution of the hydration agent and guides feeding while preventing scratches to the chicks' mouths from sharp edges. The curved edges and the fixed structure of the feeding trough kit further enhance its protective reliability. Meanwhile, the sloping design at the top of the feeding trough body and the feeding trough kit lowers the feeding height for the chicks, conforming to their body shape and improving feeding convenience.

[0034] This application provides a water-adding device for chick storage, which effectively solves the technical problems of traditional chick water-adding feed troughs that are prone to displacement leading to water spillage, insufficient stimulation and guidance for chicks to eat, easy to scratch chicks, inconvenient disassembly and cleaning, and poor compatibility with chick frames.

[0035] Example

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the overall technical solution in this application embodiment is as follows:

[0037] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a water supplementer for chick storage. Through the cooperation of the feed trough body 5, the feed trough kit 1, and the counterweight 2, it achieves stable storage of the water supplementer, efficient feeding, and positioning of the feed trough to prevent displacement. The specific implementation method is as follows:

[0038] The trough body 5 is a long strip-shaped trough, with side strips 4 fixed at both ends of the bottom. The opposite sides of the two side strips 4 are fixed with locking strips 6, which are used to connect with the strip-shaped grooves 7 of the counterweight block 2.

[0039] The four side walls of the feed trough body 5 are solid walls, which are used to movably connect with the hollow wall of the feed trough kit 1; its upper end is a sloping end, which makes it easy for chicks to eat the water supplement, while avoiding scratching the chicks.

[0040] The feeder kit 1 is entirely red. The red design can stimulate chicks to start eating and improve the feeding efficiency of the hydration supplement.

[0041] The four side walls of the feeding trough kit 1 are all hollow walls. The hollow walls are movably connected to the four solid side walls of the feeding trough body 5, so that the feeding trough kit 1 can be quickly installed and removed from the feeding trough body 5.

[0042] An extension ring 3 is fixed to the bottom of the outer wall of the feeding trough kit 1. The bottom of the extension ring 3 is flush with the bottom surface of the side strip 4. The left and right inner walls of the extension ring 3 are coated with a layer of anti-slip pads. There is a gap between the inner wall of the extension ring 3 and the outer wall of the side strip 4. The anti-slip pads fill the gap to enhance the stability of the feeding trough kit 1 after it is fitted with the feeding trough body 5.

[0043] A baffle 9 is fixed to the inner wall of the feed trough kit 1. The bottom surface of the baffle 9 is in contact with the inner bottom surface of the feed trough body 5. Both ends of the baffle 9 are fixed with arc-shaped edges 8, and the sides of the arc-shaped edges 8 are fixed to the inner wall of the feed trough kit 1. The baffle 9 is used to separate and guide the water supplement, and the arc-shaped edges 8 prevent scratching the chicks, while optimizing the flow of the water supplement and the feeding experience.

[0044] The counterweight 2 is a long strip-shaped block with grooves 7 at both ends. The two grooves 7 are respectively engaged with two locking strips 6 to achieve a detachable connection between the counterweight 2 and the trough body 5.

[0045] The counterweight 2 is flush with the front and rear outer walls of the feed trough body 5, and the counterweight 2 is flush with the bottom surface of the side strip 4. The counterweight 2 uses its own weight to keep the feeder stable in the chick frame and prevent the feed trough from shifting during movement.

[0046] Assembly steps:

[0047] Align the groove 7 of the counterweight 2 with the locking strip 6 of the trough body 5 so that the two can be engaged to complete the installation of the counterweight 2. At this time, the front and back of the counterweight 2 are flush with the front and back outer walls of the trough body 5, and the bottom surface is flush with the bottom surface of the side strip 4.

[0048] Next, align the hollow wall of the feeding trough kit 1 with the four side walls of the feeding trough body 5, so that the feeding trough kit 1 fits onto the feeding trough body 5. At this time, the bottom of the extension ring 3 is flush with the bottom surface of the side strip 4, and the anti-slip pad is filled in the gap between the extension ring 3 and the side strip 4, which prevents the counterweight 2 from separating from the feeding trough body 5. The presence of the anti-slip pad makes it difficult for the feeding trough kit 1 to separate from the feeding trough body 5, and the entire device maintains its integrity during normal use.

[0049] Usage process:

[0050] Pour the hydration agent into the cavity formed by the feeding trough kit 1. The red feeding trough kit 1 stimulates the chicks to open their mouths and feed, guiding them to efficiently consume the hydration agent.

[0051] The weight of counterweight 2 keeps the feed trough stable within the chick frame, preventing the watering agent from spilling and wetting the chicks. If cleaning or adjustment is required, the feed trough kit 1 can be directly removed from the feed trough body 5. Counterweight 2 can also be disassembled by separating the strip groove 7 from the retaining strip 6, making the operation convenient.

[0052] In summary, this utility model, through the coordinated design of the feed trough body 5, the feed trough kit 1, and the counterweight block 2, achieves stable storage of the water replenishing agent, efficient feeding of chicks, and positioning and anti-displacement of the feed trough. It has a simple structure, strong practicality, and is suitable for scenarios involving the addition of water replenishing agents during the storage of chicks.

[0053] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
