Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of egg-laying hen breeding technology, specifically an outdoor egg-laying hen breeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Laying hens are breeds of chickens specifically raised for egg production. The core of their breeding is to maximize egg production and quality through scientific management. The needs and management priorities differ significantly at different growth stages. Outdoor laying hen farming is a method that allows laying hens to move freely and forage in a natural environment. The eggs produced are of good taste and high quality and are highly favored by consumers. However, in existing outdoor laying hen farming equipment, the feed is often scattered in the troughs, which can easily lead to feed accumulation or shortages. This causes laying hens to compete for and scavenge for feed, resulting in uneven feeding among the hens, causing nutritional imbalances in some laying hens and reducing egg production. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, this utility model provides an outdoor egg-laying hen farming device, which solves the problem that when feeding existing outdoor egg-laying hen farming devices, the feed is scattered in the feeding trough, which easily leads to feed accumulation or shortage. As a result, the hens cannot eat evenly due to fighting and scrambling for feed, causing nutritional imbalance in some hens and reducing egg production.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an outdoor egg-laying hen farming device, including a feeding trough, a sliding block fixedly installed at the center of the top of the feeding trough, a rotating rod rotatably connected to the top of the sliding block via a bearing, a connecting ring fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating rod, four connecting plates fixedly installed at equal angles on the outer side of the connecting ring, and the connecting plates are in close contact with the surface of the sliding block, a rotating scraper slidably connected to one side of the connecting plate, a T-shaped sliding strip fixedly installed on one side of the rotating scraper, a limiting groove provided on one side of the connecting plate, and the T-shaped sliding strip sliding inside the limiting groove, a limiting block fixedly connected to the bottom of the T-shaped sliding strip, a connecting frame slidably connected to the top of the connecting ring on the surface of the rotating rod, and the outer side of the connecting frame fixedly connected to the top of the four rotating scrapers, two locking blocks symmetrically fixedly installed on the top of the connecting frame, two locking grooves symmetrically provided on the surface of the rotating rod, and the locking blocks locking into the locking grooves.

[0005] Four support rods are fixedly installed at equal angles at the edge of the top of the feeding trough. A feeding cylinder is fixedly connected between the tops of the four support rods, and the top of the feeding cylinder is rotatably connected to the top of the rotating rod through a bearing.

[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a motor is fixedly installed on the top of the feeding cylinder, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod that extends out of the top of the feeding cylinder.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a connecting plate is fixedly installed at the center of the inside of the feeding cylinder, and the connecting plate is rotatably connected to the rotating rod through a bearing, and the rotating rod surface is fixedly connected to the rotating plate at the top of the connecting plate.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the surfaces of the connecting disk and the rotating disk are respectively provided with multiple through grooves at equal angles, and the positions of the through grooves on the surfaces of the connecting disk and the rotating disk correspond to each other.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: an inlet is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the feeding cylinder, and an outlet is provided at the bottom of the feeding cylinder, with the outlet corresponding to the position of the sliding block.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This outdoor laying hen farming device, by setting up a rotating scraper, a connecting frame, and a locking block, adjusts the height of the rotating scraper by pulling the connecting frame upward according to the remaining feed in the trough and the laying hen's laying status. This causes the locking block to disengage from the locking slot and engage with the locking slot of the next level, thereby driving the rotating scraper upward to adjust its height. When feed falls into the trough, the rotating scraper rotates on top of the feed, thus leveling the feed in the trough and ensuring that the feed is evenly distributed, guaranteeing that the laying hens eat evenly and avoiding nutritional imbalance.

[0011] 2. This outdoor egg-laying hen farming device, by setting up a rotating disc and a trough, when feeding the trough, starts the motor to make the rotating rod rotate, which drives the rotating disc to rotate one revolution on the surface of the connecting disc. When the trough on the surface of the connecting disc and the rotating disc overlaps, the feed at the top of the feeding cylinder passes through the trough and falls from the discharge port into the sliding block and into the inside of the feeding trough until the trough closes and the feed stops falling, thereby controlling the amount of feed fed each time to be relatively uniform and stable.

[0013] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0014] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an outdoor egg-laying hen farming device, including a feeding trough 1, a sliding block 2 fixedly installed at the center of the top of the feeding trough 1, a rotating rod 6 rotatably connected to the top of the sliding block 2 via a bearing, a connecting ring 7 fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating rod 6, four connecting plates 8 fixedly installed at equal angles on the outer side of the connecting ring 7, and the connecting plates 8 are in close contact with the surface of the sliding block 2, a rotating scraper 9 slidably connected to one side of the connecting plate 8, a T-shaped sliding strip 10 fixedly installed on one side of the rotating scraper 9, a limiting groove 12 provided on one side of the connecting plate 8, and the T-shaped sliding strip 10 sliding inside the limiting groove 12, and a limiting block 11 fixedly connected to the bottom of the T-shaped sliding strip 10, by providing the limiting block 11, the limiting block 11 slides inside the limiting groove 12, so that the T-shaped sliding strip 10 will not detach from the limiting groove 12, thereby preventing it from separating from the connecting plate 8 when the rotating scraper 9 slides to adjust its height.

[0015] The rotating rod 6 is slidably connected to the top of the connecting ring 7 with a connecting frame 13. The outer side of the connecting frame 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the four rotating scrapers 9. Two locking blocks 15 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the top of the connecting frame 13. The rotating rod 6 is symmetrically provided with two locking grooves 16, and the locking blocks 15 are locked inside the locking grooves 16. By providing locking blocks 15, the locking blocks 15 are locked inside the locking grooves 16 at different heights, which makes it convenient for the connecting frame 13 to adjust the rotating scrapers 9 to different heights.

[0016] Four support rods 3 are fixedly installed at equal angles on the top edge of the feed trough 1. A feeding cylinder 4 is fixedly connected between the tops of the four support rods 3. The top of the feeding cylinder 4 is rotatably connected to the top of the rotating rod 6 through a bearing. A motor 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the feeding cylinder 4. The output end of the motor 5 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod 6 that extends out of the top of the feeding cylinder 4. By providing the motor 5, starting the motor 5 causes the rotating rod 6 to drive the rotating disk 18 and the connecting ring 7 to rotate, thereby causing the feed to fall in a measured amount and the feed falling into the feed trough 1 to be spread out.

[0017] A connecting plate 17 is fixedly installed at the center of the inside of the feeding cylinder 4, and the connecting plate 17 is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 6 through a bearing. A rotating disk 18 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod 6 at the top of the connecting plate 17. Multiple through grooves 19 are provided at equal angles on the surfaces of the connecting plate 17 and the rotating disk 18, and the positions of the through grooves 19 on the surfaces of the connecting plate 17 and the rotating disk 18 are corresponding. By providing through grooves 19, when the connecting plate 17 rotates to overlap with the through grooves 19 on the surface of the rotating disk 18, a fixed amount of feed at the top of the rotating disk 18 falls, thereby controlling the amount of feed fed each time.

[0018] A feed inlet 20 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the feeding cylinder 4, and a discharge outlet 14 is provided at the bottom of the feeding cylinder 4. The discharge outlet 14 corresponds to the position of the sliding block 2. Through the feed inlet 20, the feed enters the inside of the feeding cylinder 4, thereby replenishing the feed in the feeding cylinder 4.

[0019] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The feed required for the laying hens for one day is fed into the feeding cylinder 4 through the inlet 20. Based on the remaining feed in the trough 1 and the growth stage of the laying hens, the connecting frame 13 is pulled upwards, causing the locking block 15 to lock into the locking groove 16 in the appropriate position. This causes the rotating scraper 9 to move upwards. The height of the rotating scraper 9 from the trough 1 is adjusted, and the motor 5 is started to rotate the rotating rod 6, which in turn rotates the rotating disk 18. When the rotating disk 18 and the through groove 19 on the connecting disk 17 overlap during the rotation of the rotating disk 18, the feed at the top of the rotating disk 18 falls from the through groove 19. The feed passes through the outlet 14 and falls onto the top of the sliding block 2, sliding into the trough 1. After the rotating disk 18 rotates one revolution, the through groove 19 closes, stopping the feeding. This achieves quantitative feeding of the device. At the same time as the rotating disk 18 rotates, the connecting ring 7 rotates synchronously, causing the rotating scraper 9 to rotate on top of the feed in the trough 1, thus leveling the feed in the trough 1 and achieving uniform distribution of the feed. This prevents uneven feeding by the laying hens and ensures balanced nutrition.
