Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of egg-laying hen breeding, and in particular to a special breeding equipment for egg-laying hens. Background Technology

[0002] Layer hens are chickens raised specifically to produce eggs. Unlike broiler chickens, the main focus of raising layer hens is to improve egg quality and maintain or increase egg production, rather than improving chicken meat quality. Eggs are the primary source of income for layer hen farmers, and factories typically raise a large number of layer hens, thus requiring the use of layer hen racks for systematic farming.

[0003] A search of Chinese utility model patent (publication number CN222357074U) reveals a laying hen rack, which includes a base plate, support columns, a top plate, and rings. The base plate can be replaced and cleaned without the need to handle the laying hens, improving the user's work efficiency and the cleanliness of the device.

[0004] However, practical application has revealed that this technical solution still has at least the following drawbacks:

[0005] This technical solution requires opening the entire frame when collecting eggs, a cumbersome and time-consuming process. In large-scale egg-laying hen farming, farmers need to collect eggs frequently every day, opening the main frame each time. This not only consumes a lot of manpower and time but may also disturb the hens, affecting their egg-laying status and thus adversely impacting egg production and quality. Utility Model Content

[0006] The present invention aims to provide a special breeding equipment for laying hens to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A special breeding equipment for laying hens includes a base plate, a support rod connected to the base plate, a top plate connected to the support rod, a sliding sleeve connected to the support rod, a feeding cage connected to the sliding sleeve, a hidden groove on the support rod, a limit block slidably connected to the inner wall of the hidden groove, the limit block cooperating with the sliding sleeve, a spring connected to the limit block, the other end of the spring connected to the inner wall of the hidden groove, a manure collection trough connected to the base plate, an installation frame connected to the manure collection trough, a grid plate connected to the installation frame, the grid plate being inclined, and a waterer and a feeder connected to the feeding cage.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom wall of the fecal collection tank is inclined.

[0010] Preferably, the fecal collection trough is connected with a pin, the mounting frame has a slot, and the pin is slidably connected to the slot.

[0011] Preferably, the limiting block has an inclined surface, which cooperates with the sliding sleeve.

[0012] Preferably, the mounting frame is connected to a sponge pad.

[0013] Preferably, the base plate is connected to a mounting plate, and the mounting plate has mounting holes.

[0014] Preferably, the bottom wall of the feeding trough is inclined.

[0015] Preferably, the bottom of the feeding cage and the grating plate are coated with a low surface energy coating.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this technical solution compared to existing technologies are as follows:

[0017] (1) This technical solution allows for flexible height adjustment of the rearing cage by setting a sliding connection between the sliding sleeve and the support rod, in conjunction with a limiting block and a spring. The inclined grid plate is connected to the rearing cage, allowing the eggs to automatically roll into the installation frame above the manure collection trough after being laid. This achieves automatic egg collection, avoids frequent manual entry into the rearing cage to search for eggs, reduces contact between eggs and pollutants such as manure, ensures egg cleanliness, reduces the labor intensity of the rearing staff, and improves breeding efficiency. It is both practical and hygienic.

[0018] (2) By setting up a manure collection trough with an inclined inner bottom wall, the manure can automatically gather to a lower place by gravity, which is convenient for centralized cleaning, avoids the accumulation and retention of manure in the trough, reduces dead corners during cleaning, reduces the difficulty and workload of manual cleaning, and improves the convenience and efficiency of breeding management.

[0019] (3) By setting pins and slots, the fecal collection tank and the installation frame can be quickly separated. When it is necessary to clean the fecal collection tank or replace the grid plate in the installation frame, there is no need to use complicated tools or carry out tedious disassembly steps, which shortens the maintenance time and improves work efficiency.

[0020] (4) By setting an inclined surface, when the sliding sleeve is pushed upward, the sliding sleeve will press the limiting block along the inclined surface of the limiting block, so that it overcomes the spring force and retracts into the hidden groove, thereby releasing the restriction on the sliding sleeve and allowing the breeding cage to move upward smoothly, simplifying the process of adjusting the height of the breeding cage.

[0021] (5) By setting up a sponge pad, a buffer layer can be formed, which can effectively reduce the impact force of the egg hitting the mounting frame, prevent the egg from cracking or breaking due to collision, and improve the egg integrity rate.

[0022] (6) By setting up mounting plates and mounting holes, a flexible and stable installation method can be provided for laying hen breeding equipment. This ensures that the equipment will not shake or shift due to laying hen activity, routine maintenance, or other operations during use, thus improving equipment stability.

[0023] (7) By setting the feed trough with an inclined inner bottom wall, the feed can naturally gather at a lower position, avoiding the accumulation of feed in the corners or edges of the feed trough. This is especially suitable for granular or powdered feed, ensuring that the flock can easily eat all the feed in the feed trough and reduce residual waste.

[0024] (8) By setting a low surface energy coating, the adhesion of substances such as eggs, feces, and feed can be reduced, making the eggs roll more smoothly and avoiding pollution caused by residual egg liquid or feces sticking together. This makes cleaning the breeding cage and grid plate easier and reduces the workload of manual scraping and rinsing. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0031] like Figure 1-4The illustrated laying hen-specific feeding equipment includes a base plate 1, with mounting plates connected to both sides of the base plate 1. The mounting plates have mounting holes 10. Four sets of support rods 2 are connected to the four corners of the top wall of the base plate 1, and these four sets of support rods 2 are connected to a top plate 6. Each set of support rods 2 is slidably connected to two sets of sliding sleeves 4, which are connected to a feeding cage 5. The bottom of the feeding cage 5 has a gap for eggs to pass through. Several sets of hidden grooves 7 are formed on the side walls of the support rods 2, with the positions of the hidden grooves 7 corresponding to the positions of the sliding sleeves 4. Limiting blocks 3 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the hidden grooves 7. A spring 16 is connected to one side of the limiting block 3 inside the hidden groove 7, and the other end of the spring 16 is connected to the inner wall of the hidden groove 7. An inclined surface 15 is provided on the side of the limiting block 3 away from the spring 16, with the inclined surface 15 facing downwards. When the spring 16 is in a balanced state, the inclined surface 15 of the limiting block 3 is exactly outside the hidden groove 7. When the feeding cage 5 is pushed upwards, the sliding sleeve 4 contacts the inclined surface 15 of the limiting block 3. The inclined surface 15 is subjected to force, causing the limiting block 3 to compress the spring 16 and retract into the hidden groove 7, thereby releasing the restriction on the sliding sleeve 4, allowing the feeding cage 5 to move upwards smoothly. When the feeding cage 5 rises to a suitable height, the limiting block 3 pops out of the hidden groove 7 under the restoring force of the spring 16, locking the sliding sleeve 4 and achieving stable positioning of the feeding cage 5. Pressing the limiting block 3 inwards so that it fully enters the hidden groove 7 allows the feeding cage 5 to be moved downwards.

[0032] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a manure collection trough 13 is connected to the top wall of the base plate 1, and the bottom wall of the manure collection trough 13 is inclined. Several sets of pins 18 are connected to the top of the manure collection trough 13, and several sets of slots 17 are opened on the bottom wall of the mounting frame 9, with the pins 18 slidingly connected to the slots 17. A grid plate 12 is connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame 9, and the grid plate 12 is inclined in the opposite direction to the inclination of the bottom wall of the manure collection trough 13. A sponge pad 19 is connected to the inner side wall of the mounting frame 9, and the sponge pad 19 is located on the lowest side of the grid plate 12. A waterer 14 is connected to the inner bottom wall of the feeding cage 5, and a feed trough 8 is detachably connected to the front wall of the feeding cage 5. The bottom wall of the feed trough 8 is inclined, and the lowest point of the bottom wall of the feed trough 8 is close to the feeding cage 5. The bottom of the feeding cage 5 and the grid plate 12 are both coated with a low surface energy coating. The bottom of the feeding cage 5 has gaps, allowing eggs laid by the hens to roll down through these gaps. The eggs fall onto the inclined grid plate 12 below and, under the influence of gravity, roll downwards along the grid plate 12, eventually landing on the side of the sponge pad 19 inside the mounting frame 9. The hens' droppings fall through the gaps at the bottom of the feeding cage 5 and the grid plate 12 into the inclined droppings collection trough 13. The inclined bottom wall of the droppings collection trough 13 causes the droppings to automatically collect downwards under gravity, facilitating centralized cleaning.

[0033] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0034] In use, the equipment is fixed to a suitable location in the breeding area using bolts, expansion screws, and other fasteners through the mounting holes 10 on both sides of the base plate 1, ensuring stability and preventing shaking. Lower the feeding cage 5 to its lowest position, bringing it close to the grid plate 12. After the hens lay eggs, the eggs will automatically roll onto the sponge pad 19 inside the mounting frame 9, which the breeder can periodically collect. Due to the inclined bottom wall of the manure collection trough 13, manure will concentrate at the lower level, allowing the breeder to clean it directly from there. When cleaning the grid plate 12, push the feeding cage 5 upwards. At this time, the sliding sleeve 4 presses against the inclined surface 15 of the limiting block 3, causing the limiting block 3 to retract into the hidden groove 7, allowing the feeding cage 5 to rise freely. Once the appropriate height is reached, release the feeding cage 5; the limiting block 3 will pop out under the action of the spring 16, locking the sliding sleeve 4 and fixing the height. The grid plate 12 below can then be cleaned freely.

[0035] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of this utility model. Commonly known technical solutions and / or characteristics are not described in detail here. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the technical solution of this utility model. These modifications and improvements should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model, and will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of this utility model or the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection claimed in this application should be determined by the content of its claims, and the specific embodiments described in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
