Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of poultry farming equipment technology, specifically to a device for the natural incubation of pigeons. Background Technology
[0002] Temperature is a key factor affecting hatching success rate and squab survival rate during natural incubation of pigeons. In northern regions during autumn and winter, low temperatures often lead to breeding pigeons abandoning their nests due to insufficient warmth, resulting in a significant decrease in hatching and hatching rates. Newly hatched squabs have not yet fully developed their thermoregulation mechanisms and are highly sensitive to low temperatures, making them extremely susceptible to frostbite or death, causing substantial economic losses for pigeon farmers.
[0003] Currently, some pigeon farms use auxiliary heating equipment such as infrared lamps and heating pads to heat and keep the inside of pigeon cages warm, but this method has many problems. First, the heating temperature is uneven, easily causing localized overheating or insufficient temperature; second, exposed wiring is easily pecked by pigeons, posing a safety hazard; third, the equipment is inconvenient to install and difficult to adapt to the existing pigeon nest structure; and fourth, it lacks precise temperature control, making it impossible to stably maintain the optimal temperature range required for pigeon incubation. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a pigeon natural incubation device with an integrated housing, uniform heating, safety, reliability, and easy installation to solve the pain points of existing equipment. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for the natural incubation of pigeons. This device provides uniform heating and can avoid problems such as abandonment of incubation, abandonment of raising, and frostbite or death of squabs caused by low temperatures.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A device for natural incubation of pigeons includes a cage with a perch suspended inside. The cage has an openable / closable entrance / exit. It also includes a nest assembly fixed to the perch. The nest assembly is a mesh-like structure with an open top and is formed by crisscrossing heating wires. A silicone sleeve surrounds the heating wires. The perch has a hollow interior forming a hollow channel, within which heating wires are threaded. The heating wires are connected to a temperature control unit located outside the cage.
[0007] Preferably, the silicone sleeve has a thickness of 2 mm and a smooth surface.
[0008] Preferably, the perch frame includes a first perch pole and a second perch pole arranged in parallel and spaced apart, the first perch pole and the second perch pole extending along the length of the cage and fixed on two opposite sides of the cage.
[0009] Preferably, the nest assembly includes a net pouch and a connecting part. The net pouch is located at the bottom of the connecting part, and the connecting part is arranged around the net pouch. Connecting members are provided on both sides of the connecting part at positions corresponding to the first perching post and the second perching post. The connecting members are detachably fixed to the first perching post and the second perching post.
[0010] Preferably, the connector includes a first blocking surface fixedly connected to the connecting part and a second blocking surface perpendicularly connected to the first blocking surface. The first blocking surface and the second blocking surface are generally L-shaped. When the connecting part is connected to the first perch or the second perch, the first blocking surface is located at the top of the first perch or the second perch, and the second blocking surface is located on the outer side wall of the first perch or the second perch.
[0011] Preferably, the hollow channel is further filled with flame-retardant epoxy resin, and the heating circuit is inserted inside the flame-retardant epoxy resin.
[0012] Preferably, the temperature control unit includes a power switch and a temperature adjustment knob. The power switch is used to control the on / off state of the heating wire, and the temperature adjustment knob is used to adjust the heating temperature of the heating wire.
[0013] Preferably, the recessed depth of the recessed component is 40-50 mm, the length is 25-30 cm, and the width is 25-30 cm.
[0014] Preferably, the cage is 50-80cm long, 40-60cm wide, and 45-60cm high.
[0015] In the above technical solution, a nest assembly is formed by interlocking and fixing a heating wire and a 2mm silicone sleeve around it. The heating wire directly and evenly heats the incubation area where the nest assembly is located, solving the problem of insufficient internal temperature of the nest assembly caused by low ambient temperatures in autumn and winter. This prevents breeding pigeons from abandoning their chicks due to temperature discomfort and provides a warm environment for newly hatched squabs whose thermoregulation functions are not yet fully developed, preventing them from freezing to death. The silicone sleeve isolates the heating wire from direct contact with the breeding pigeons and squabs, preventing burns during heating, and its smooth surface reduces damage to the heating wire caused by pigeons pecking at it, extending the service life of the nest assembly.
[0016] Meanwhile, the heating wire is connected to the temperature control unit outside the cage via heating lines running through the hollow channels of the perch. The flame-retardant epoxy resin filling the hollow channels further secures the heating lines and isolates them from external contact, preventing short circuits, electrical leaks, and other safety hazards caused by pecking or moisture. Combined with the temperature adjustment knob, the nest temperature can be changed in real time, ensuring it remains stable within the range suitable for natural incubation. This meets the temperature requirements for incubation without causing excessive heat that could negatively impact hatching, thus improving the hatching success rate and the survival rate of the squabs.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a device for natural incubation of pigeons includes a cage 1, which is 50-80cm long, preferably 50cm, 40-60cm wide, preferably 60cm, and 45-60cm high, preferably 50cm. A perch 2 is provided inside the cage 1 and is suspended above the inside of the cage 1 by a hook. The front of the cage 1 has an openable and closable entrance 11, which adopts a hinged door structure and is closed and fixed by a buckle.
[0024] The perching frame 2 includes a first perching pole 21 and a second perching pole 22 arranged in parallel and at intervals. The first perching pole 21 and the second perching pole 22 extend along the length of the cage body 1, and their two ends are bent to form hooks that are hooked onto the left and right opposite sides of the cage body 1.
[0025] A nest assembly 3 is fixed on the perch 2. The nest assembly 3 has a length of 25-30 cm, preferably 30 cm, and a width of 25-30 cm, preferably 30 cm. The nest assembly 3 is a net-like pouch with an open top and a recess depth of 40-50 mm, preferably 45 mm. The nest assembly 3 includes a net pouch portion 31 and a connecting portion 32. The net pouch portion 31 is located at the bottom of the connecting portion 32. The connecting portion 32 is arranged around the net pouch portion 31, and connectors 33 are provided on both sides of the connecting portion 32 at positions corresponding to the first perch 21 and the second perch 22. The connectors 33 are detachably fixed to the first perch 21 and the second perch 22.
[0026] The connector 33 includes a first blocking surface 331 and a second blocking surface 332 integrally formed with the connecting part 32. The first blocking surface 331 is horizontally arranged, and the second blocking surface 332 is perpendicular to the first blocking surface 331 and extends downward, so that the first blocking surface 331 and the second blocking surface 332 form an L-shaped structure. The distance between the first perching post 21 and the second perching post 22 is adapted to the inner diameter of the connecting part 32 of the nest assembly 3. When the nest assembly 3 is installed on the perching frame 2, the L-shaped connectors 33 on both sides of the connecting part 32 respectively engage with the first perching post 21 and the second perching post 22. At this time, the first blocking surface 331 horizontally covers and adheres to the top of the first perching post 21 or the second perching post 22, achieving longitudinal limitation by its own weight, while the second blocking surface 332 adheres to the outer wall of the first perching post 21 or the second perching post 22, forming lateral limitation. The L-shaped connector 33 forms a tight engagement with the first perching post 21 and the second perching post 22, which not only prevents the nest assembly 3 from sliding along the length of the perching post, but also prevents the nest assembly 3 from moving up and down. At the same time, only an upward force needs to be applied to separate the connector 33 from the first perching post 21 or the second perching post 22, thereby realizing the detachable connection between the nest assembly 3 and the perching frame 2.
[0027] The net section 31 is formed by heating wires 311 crosswise fixed together and covered with silicone sleeves 312. The silicone sleeves 312 are 2 mm thick and have a smooth surface. The heating wires 311 are connected to the temperature control unit 4 through heating circuits. The perch 2 has a hollow interior forming a hollow channel, which is filled with flame-retardant epoxy resin. The heating circuits pass through the flame-retardant epoxy resin. The temperature control unit 4 is located outside the cage body 1.
[0028] The temperature control unit 4 includes a power switch 41 and a temperature adjustment knob 42. The power switch 41 is used to control the on / off state of the heating wire 311, and the temperature adjustment knob 42 is used to adjust the heating temperature of the heating wire 311.
[0029] In this embodiment, the nest assembly 3 is fixed to the perch 2 by the connector 33. The heating circuit passes through the hollow channel of the perch 2 and connects the heating wire 311 to the temperature control unit 4. After the inlet and outlet 11 is closed, the heating function is started by the power switch 41 of the temperature control unit 4. The staff can set the appropriate temperature by adjusting the temperature knob 42. The silicone sleeve 312 prevents the heating wire 311 from directly contacting the pigeon. The flame-retardant epoxy resin ensures the safety of the heating circuit. The overall structure meets the usage requirements of natural incubation of pigeons.
[0030] This embodiment is merely an illustration of the concept and implementation of this utility model, and is not intended to limit it. Under the concept of this utility model, the technical solution without substantial changes is still within the protection scope.
