As shown in fig. 1 and 2, a poultry raising apparatus includes a cage 200 and a cage 100 provided on the cage 200. One or more than two cages 100 can be placed on each layer of the stent of the cage 200. Each cage body 100 is provided with a poultry raising space therein. The cage body 100 is detachably disposed on the cage 200. The poultry can be chicken, duck, goose, pigeon or other poultry species. The poultry raising device also comprises a poultry drinking device.
Wherein, the poultry drinking device comprises drinking mechanisms 300 which are in one-to-one correspondence with the cage body 100. As shown in FIG. 3 (FIG. 3 shows a schematic drawing of the hydration device from the cage 100), the hydration mechanism 300 includes a drive assembly 320 and a hydration assembly 310. The driving assembly 320 includes a lifting rail 321, a sliding plate 323, a connecting member 324, and a driving member (not shown in the drawings). The lifting rail 321 may stand within the cage 100. The sliding plate 323 and the connector 324 (water pipe clamp) are located between the lifting rail 321 and the drinking water pipe 311. The sliding plate 323 is in sliding fit with the lifting guide rail 321, and the connecting member 324 is used for fixing the drinking water pipe 311 on the sliding plate 323. The lifting guide rail 321 is further provided with a limiting stop part for preventing the sliding plate 323 from sliding down and falling off, for example, the lifting guide rail 321 may be provided with other limiting parts such as screws or bolts.
The driving member is used for driving the drinking water pipe 311 to lift. The drive member comprises a pull line (e.g., a wire rope) having one end connected to the slide plate 323 and the other end passing around a support point (which may be a support, such as a suspension beam 322, or a pulley, etc.). The traction rope can be directly and manually pulled to drive the sliding plate 323 to lift, and the automatic retraction of the traction rope can also be realized through a winch. In other embodiments, the driving element may also be another automatic driving element such as an air cylinder, an oil cylinder, a linear motor, and the like, and the driving end of the air cylinder, the oil cylinder, the linear motor, and the like is connected to the sliding plate 323 to drive the sliding plate 323 to move up and down.
The drinking assembly 310 includes the drinking tube 311 fixed on the lifting rail 321 and a drinking nipple 312 disposed on the drinking tube 311. The length of the drinking tube 311 is smaller than the length of the cage 100, so that the drinking assembly 310 can enter the cage 100 as a whole. The drinking nipple 312 is used for the birds to peck. The drinking assembly 310 further includes a water receiving member 313, the water receiving member 313 is disposed on the drinking tube 311, and the water receiving member 313 is disposed with a water receiving cup 3131 located right below the drinking nipple 312. The water receiving member 313 is used for receiving water leakage when the poultry pecks the drinking nipple 312, and can be used for the poultry to drink again. It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the water receiving member 313 may not be provided, for example, the water receiving member 313 may not be provided when feeding larger birds for drinking. Through the arrangement of the drinking water mechanism 300, the drinking water function of the feeding device is realized, so that the growth requirement of poultry is met.
The working principle and effect of the cooperation between the driving assembly 320 and the drinking assembly 310 according to the embodiment of the present invention are explained as follows: in the process that the driving piece drives the sliding plate 323 to move up and down, the drinking tube 311 can be driven to move up and down, so that the height of the drinking tube 311 is adjusted, the drinking requirements of poultry with different sizes are met, and the applicability of the drinking device is improved. Meanwhile, the height of the drinking water pipe 311 is convenient to adjust, and the sliding plate 323 only needs to be driven, so that the sliding plate 323 can stably move along the lifting guide rail 321. Meanwhile, since the drinking water tubes 311 are installed on the elevating guide rails 321, it is no longer necessary to provide notches for fixing the drinking water tubes 311 on both sides of the cage body 100, simplifying the manufacturing of the entire breeding device. Moreover, the drinking water pipes 311 are correspondingly and independently arranged in one cage body 100 and do not penetrate through the whole row of cage bodies 100, so that the drinking water height in each cage body 100 is flexibly and conveniently adjusted.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, the driving assembly 320 further includes a suspension cross member 322 fixed to the cage 200, and the lifting rail 321 is rotatably connected (e.g., hinged) to the suspension cross member 322. The lifting rail 321 is rotatably switchable between a vertical state and a horizontal state. The lifting guide rails 321 can drive the drinking water assembly 310 to integrally enter or exit the corresponding cage 100 during the rotation process. Therefore, when drinking water is required to be supplied to the birds, the lifting guide rails 321 can be rotated to be vertical, and the drinking water pipes 311 are positioned in the cage body 100, so that the birds can peck the drinking water conveniently. When drinking water is not needed, the lifting guide rail 321 can be rotated to the horizontal state, so that the drinking water assembly 310 and the lifting guide rail 321 are withdrawn from the cage body, and a wider space is provided for poultry. Meanwhile, the drinking mechanism 300 does not interfere with the cage 100 any more, and the cage 100 can move freely, for example, the whole cage 100 can be pulled out to be used as a transportation cage, or the cage 100 can be pulled out to be cleaned. In addition, each water drinking mechanism 300 corresponds to one cage body 100, and when one cage body 100 needs to be drawn out independently, the corresponding driving component 320 can be operated independently, so that the feeding device is flexible and convenient to use.
Further, referring to fig. 6, a first adjusting opening 3221, a second adjusting opening 3222, a first locking member 3223 capable of reciprocating in the first adjusting opening 3221, and a second locking member 3224 capable of reciprocating in the second adjusting opening 3222 are disposed on the hanging beam 322. One end of the lifting guide rail 321 close to the suspension cross beam 322 is provided with a first clamping piece 3211, and the other end of the lifting guide rail 321 is provided with a second clamping piece 3212. When the lifting guide rail 321 is in a vertical state, the first buckling member 3223 moves in the first adjusting opening 3221 to contact with the first clamping piece 3211 and clamp the first clamping piece 3211; when the lifting rail 321 is in a horizontal state, the second locking member 3224 moves in the second adjusting opening 3222 to contact with the second locking piece 3212 and lock the second locking piece 3212. Specifically, when the lifting rail 321 needs to be maintained in the vertical state, the first locking member 3223 may be adjusted to move toward the first locking piece 3211, and the first locking piece 3211 is locked between the first locking member 3223 and the top wall of the hanging beam 322, so that the lifting rail 321 is maintained in the vertical state and does not rotate. When the lifting rail 321 needs to be adjusted to a horizontal state, the first locking member 3223 may be adjusted to move in a direction away from the first locking piece 3211, so that the first locking piece 3211 loses its constraint and the lifting rail 321 may rotate. When the lifting rail 321 is rotated to the horizontal state, the second locking member 3224 is adjusted to move toward the second locking piece 3212, and the second locking piece 3212 is locked between the second locking member 3224 and the top wall of the hanging beam 322, so that the lifting rail 321 is kept horizontal and does not rotate. When the lifting rail 321 needs to be adjusted to the vertical state again, the second locking member 3224 is adjusted to move in the direction away from the second locking piece 3212, so that the second locking piece 3212 loses the constraint, and the lifting rail 321 is rotatable. The design enables the lifting guide rail 321 to keep stable horizontal state and vertical state, and ensures the stability and safety of the drinking mechanism 300. It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the first locking member 3223 and the second locking member 3224 may also be configured as a spring structure fixedly disposed on the suspension cross member 322, and may be stationary relative to the suspension cross member 322. The first and second locking pieces 3211 and 3212 are fixed and released by elastic spring structures.
Specifically, the first hooking part 3223 and the second hooking part 3224 each include a bolt and a nut engaged with the bolt. When the position of the lifting guide rail 321 needs to be locked, the bolt and the nut can be tightly matched to clamp the lifting guide rail 321, so that the first buckling piece 3223 and the second buckling piece 3224 are prevented from being loosened.
In addition, the poultry drinking device further comprises a water feeding pipe 400, and the water feeding pipe 311 in each drinking mechanism 300 is connected with the water feeding pipe 400 through a connecting hose 500. The use of the connection hose 500 is for ensuring that the drinking tube 311 can be freely lifted and rotated. The drinking water pipes 311 of all the drinking water mechanisms 300 on each layer of the cage 200 share one water supply pipe 400.
