Opfindelsen angår en burkasse til fededyrhold i en udførelsesform ifølge indledningsafsnittet til krav 1.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The invention relates to a cage box for animal feed in one embodiment according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ved en kendt burkasse af den førnævnte art er de 5 i modsatliggende endeområder af burrummet forhåndenværende svingporte udformet som dobbeltfløjdøre, der svinger om lodrette akser, og som kan blokeres sålænge ved hjælp af elektronisk styrede betjeningselementer, til det i burrummet indelåste fededyr har fortæret den 10 dette tildelte foderportion. Efter frigørelse af svingportene skal et efterfølgende fededyr drive fededyret, som stadig befinder sig i burrummet, ud, hvad der ofte i praksis viser sig at være vanskeligt og oftest fører til, at det ikke er muligt at have en gnidningsløs og 15 kontinuerlig enkeltfodringsdrift ved at indelukke eller fastholde flere fededyr i burrummet.In a known cage of the aforementioned kind, the pivot gates present in opposite end regions of the cage compartment are formed as double wing doors which swing about vertical axes and which can be blocked as long as by means of electronically controlled controls, until the cage enclosed in the cage compartment has consumed it. this allocated feed portion. After releasing the swing gates, a subsequent mammal must drive out the mammal, which is still in the cage compartment, what often proves difficult in practice and most often leads to the possibility of having a smooth and continuous single feeding operation by enclose or retain multiple mammals in the cage compartment.

Fra DE-U-7103252 kendes en burkasse til grise med et burrum, der sideværts er begrænset af vægdele, og et fodertrug anbragt i den forreste del af burrum-20 met. Burrummet er kun tilgængeligt fra bagsiden, således at grisen skal gå ind bagfra til fodertruget, men efter fodringen også skal gå ud af bagsiden ved at gå baglæns. En gnidningsfri enkeltfodringsdrift er ikke mulig med denne kasse, eftersom grisen skal gå ud imod 25 efterkommende og anmasende dyr, således at der indgår en væsentlig fare for uheld for det udtrædende dyr og de efterfølgende dyr. For i det mindste at sikre det dyr, som befinder sig i kassen, mod de efterfølgende dyr, skal burrumsindgangen sikres ved hjælp af et vægt-30 belastet lukkelegeme, som er forbundet med et hæveled over fodertruget. Ved hjælp af dyret, som befinder sig i kassen, skal hæveleddet under fodringsprocessen svinge, således at også lukkelegemet bringes i sin lukkestilling. Derved udelukkes imidlertid ikke at burrums-35 indgangen allerede er blokeret af efterfølgende dyr og således at såvel lukkelegemet som hæveleddet ikke kanFrom DE-U-7103252 a cage box for pigs is known with a cage space laterally limited by wall parts and a feeding trough placed in the front part of the cage space 20. The cage compartment is only accessible from the back, so that the pig has to go in from behind to the feeding trough, but after feeding must also go out of the back by going backwards. A smooth single feeding operation is not possible with this box, since the pig has to go out to 25 offspring and feeding animals, so that there is a significant risk of accident for the outgoing animal and the subsequent animals. In order to at least secure the animal present in the box against the subsequent animals, the cage entrance must be secured by a weight-loaded closure body, which is connected to a heel joint over the feeding trough. With the aid of the animal that is in the box, the swelling joint must swing during the feeding process, so that the closing body is also brought into its closing position. However, this does not rule out that the burr room entrance is already blocked by subsequent animals and so that both the closing body and the swivel joint cannot

Opfindelsen har til opgave at skabe en burkasse til fededyr af den indledningsvis nævnte art, med hvil-5 ken fededyret efter fodring ledes sikkert ud af burkassen med et kontinuerligt og gnidningsløst fodringsforløb for øje. Til løsning af denne opgave har kassen ifølge opfindelsen den udformning, der er angivet i den kendetegnende del af krav 1.The object of the invention is to create a cage box for mammals of the kind mentioned above, with which the mammal after feeding is safely guided out of the cage box with a continuous and smooth feeding process in mind. In order to solve this task, the box according to the invention has the configuration as defined in the characterizing part of claim 1.

10 I burkassen ifølge opfindelsen skubbes fededy ret, der befinder sig i burrummet på en nænsom måde af et indad svingende uddrivningslegeme ud af burkassen efter fortæring af den tildelte foderration, før der kan komme et efterfølgende fededyr til fodertruget, ud-15 drivningslegemets svingning og svingportenes åbne - og lukkebevægelse skal udføres henholdsvis afstemmes i forhold til hinanden med konstruktivt enkle midler af såvel med hensyn til bevægelse som med hensyn til tidsforløbet egnede, f.eks. elektronisk styrede betjenings-20 apparater såsom stillecylindre. Fodringsforløbet skal gennemføres kontinuerligt og såvidt muligt automatisk. Uddrivningslegemet skal på en konstruktivt enkel måde tilpasses de respektive rumlige forhold i burkassen, der som regel udformes rektangulært i grundplanen.In the cage of the invention, the fat that is in the cage is gently pushed out of the cage by an inwardly oscillating expulsion body after consuming the assigned feed ration before a subsequent fatty animal can enter the feed trough, the ejector body oscillation, and the pivot gates. open and close movement must be performed respectively in relation to each other with constructively simple means of both in terms of movement as well as in the passage of time suitable, e.g. electronically controlled operating apparatus such as still cylinders. The feeding process must be carried out continuously and as far as possible automatically. The expulsion body must be adapted in a constructively simple way to the respective spatial conditions in the can, which are usually rectangular in the floor plan.

25 Fortrinsvis er uddrivningslegemet svingbart om en vandret aksel fra oven ind i burrummet og udformet som burkassens indgangssvingpori:, for at der ikke på grund af uddrivningslegemet opstår merudgifter til fremstilling og drift af burkassen. Yderligere træk og 30 enkeltheder ved opfindelsen er angivet i yderligere underkrav, i den efterfølgende beskrivelse og på tegningen. På tegningen viser fig. 1 et eksempel på en udførelse af burkassen . skematisk set fra siden med et fodertrug hængende på 35 siden, fig. 2 udførelseseksemplet ifølge fig. 1 set forfra (indgangssiden), 325 Preferably, the expulsion body is pivotal about a horizontal shaft from above into the cage compartment and is designed as the cage entry pivot of the cage, so that no additional costs are incurred for the manufacture and operation of the cage due to the expulsion body. Further features and details of the invention are set forth in further subclaims, in the following description and in the drawings. In the drawing, FIG. 1 shows an example of an embodiment of the can. schematic side view with a feeding trough hanging on the 35 side, fig. 2 illustrates the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 1 front view (entrance side), 3

På tegningen er kun vist de til den umiddelbare forståelse af opfindelsen nødvendige elementer af bur-5 kassen, og principielt sammenhørende dele er forsynet med de samme henvisningstal. Den på tegningen viste generelt med 1 betegnede burkasse til fededyr er udformet som enkeltfodringsburkasse til grise og består af et gitterrammestel med en sidevæg 3 til at afgræn-10 se burrummet 2 samt med gittertværribber 4 foroven.In the drawing, only the elements necessary for the immediate understanding of the invention are shown in the cage box, and in principle related parts are provided with the same reference numerals. The fat cage generally indicated in the drawing, designated 1, is designed as a single feeding cage for pigs and consists of a lattice frame frame with a side wall 3 for defining the cage space 2 and with lattice cross ribs 4 at the top.

1 den bageste længdesidevæg 5 findes der en udsparing 6, hvorigennem et ophængt fodertrug er tilgængeligt. Skematisk er der vist en snekke 8 og en tragt 9, igennem hvilken fodetruget 7 forsynes med foderratio- 15 nen. På ikke i enkeltheder vist måde kan foderrationen ske med automatisk virkende dosering af foderrationen med elektroniske betjeningselementer, der virker sammen med sensorer, som bæres omkring fededyrets hals, for at muliggøre en præcis dosering af foderrationen til hvert 20 enkelt fededyr.In the rear longitudinal side wall 5 there is a recess 6 through which a suspended feed trough is available. Schematically there is shown a worm 8 and a hopper 9 through which the feed trough 7 is provided with the feed ration. In not shown in detail, the feed ration can be done with automatic dosing of the feed ration with electronic controls which work with sensors carried around the mammal's throat to allow a precise dosing of the feed ration for every 20 mammals.

Ved burkassens indgangsside omgiver sidevæggen 3 et som en kurv udformet, om en vandret aksel 12 svingbart uddrivningslegeme 10, der samtidigt virker som en indgangssvingport. Som det er antydet med op-25 trukne linier i fig. 1 og 3, lukker uddrivningslegemet 2 udadtil. Ved den modsat uddrivningslegemet 10 liggende forreste ende 11 findes der en ikke i enkeltheder vist udgangssvingport, der kan være udformet som dobbeltfløjdør eller på en anden egnet måde, f.eks. som 30 drejegitter. Til svingning af uddrivningslegemet 10 henholdsvis af indgangssvingporten og af udgangssvingporten findes der i enkeltheder ikke viste betjeningscylindre, der udløses over egnede elektronisk betjenelige styremekanismer, der samvirker med indretningen 35 til foderdoseringen henholdsvis sensorene på fededyrets hals.At the entrance side of the cage, the sidewall 3 surrounds one shaped as a basket, about a horizontal shaft 12 pivotally expelling body 10, which simultaneously acts as an input pivot port. As indicated by drawn lines in FIG. 1 and 3, the expulsion body 2 closes outward. At the front end 11 of the expulsion body 10 there is an output swing port not shown in detail which can be designed as a double wing door or in another suitable manner, e.g. such as 30 turning grids. For oscillation of the ejector body 10 of the input swing gate and of the exit swing gate, respectively, operating cylinders are not shown, which are triggered by suitable electronically operable control mechanisms which cooperate with the device 35 for the feed dosing and the sensors on the mammal's neck.

Uddrivningslegemet 10, der svinger indad om den vandrette aksel 12 til den punkteret viste stilling i fig. 1 og 3, er på kurvlignende måde forsynet med bukkede sidestivere 13, 14 og med bueformet ud-5 formede gitterstave 15 til overdækning. Sidestiverne 13 og 14 strækker sig til det øverste endeområde af sidevæggen 3. Sidestiveren 14 er hængslet ved det nederste endeområde af sidevæggen 3. Ved det øverste endeområde af sidevæggen 13 fastgøres en ind i bur-10 rummet svingbar uddrivningsbøjle 16, der er drejeligt i pilen 17's retning, og hvis drejeområde er begrænset af svingbøj lestoppet 18, som er fastgjort til sidestiveren 13. Længde- og højdemålene af burkassen 1 og uddrivningslegemet 10 med dets uddrivnings-15 bøjle 16 er derved hensigtsmæssigt dimensioneret sådan, at uddrivningsbøjlen 16 under fodringen af fede-dyret befinder sig lige bagved dets bagdel for at fede-dyret, der befinder sig i burkassen, ved indaddrejnin-gen af legemet 10 og med åben udgangssvingport næn- 20 somt og sikkert ved hjælp af bøjlen 16, 'skubbes ud af burkassen 1. I den punkteret viste uddrivningsstilling af uddrivningslegemet 10 er uddrivningsbøjlen 16 svinget ud og strækker sig til det nederste endeområde af burkassen 1, sådan at burrummet 2 fuldstæn-25 digt gennemtrænges af uddrivningslegemet 10 med dets uddrivningslegeme. I denne uddrivnings - henholdsvis inderste stilling er dermed det til udsparingen 6 knyttede indre burrum stadig afspærret for et efterfølgende fededyr. Det efterfølgende fededyr kan dog alle-30 rede betræde burrummet i det område, der er beliggende foran uddrivningsbøjlen 16. Til fuldstændig frigivelse af burrummet 2 svinges uddrivningslegemet 10 med sine gitterstave som overdækning så over fededyret til dets burkassen 1 fuldstændigt afspærrende udgangs-35 stilling. Uddrivningslegemet 10 er i det i fig. 1 og 2 viste udførelseseksempel koblet med et på væglignende 5The expulsion body 10 pivoting inwardly about the horizontal shaft 12 to the dotted position shown in FIG. 1 and 3, are provided in a basket-like manner with bent side struts 13, 14 and with arcuate shaped grid bars 15 for covering. The side struts 13 and 14 extend to the upper end region of the sidewall 3. The side struts 14 are hinged at the lower end region of the sidewall 3. At the upper end region of the sidewall 13, a pivotable swing bar 16 pivotable in the cage 10 is secured. 17, and whose pivoting area is limited by the swing bend leg stop 18, which is attached to the side strut 13. The length and height dimensions of the cage 1 and the expulsion body 10 with its expulsion bracket 16 are suitably sized such that the ejection bracket 16 during feeding of grease the animal is located just behind its hindquarters so that the fatty animal which is in the cage, by the inward rotation of the body 10 and with open exit swing gate 20, is pushed out of the cage 1 slowly and securely by the cage 1. In the dotted position of expulsion of the expulsion body 10, the ejector 16 is pivoted and extends to the lower end region of the can axis 1, so that the cage space 2 is completely penetrated by the expulsion body 10 with its expulsion body. Thus, in this expulsion or inner position, respectively, the inner cage space attached to the recess 6 is still locked for a subsequent mammal. However, the subsequent mammal may already enter the cage compartment in the area located in front of the ejector bar 16. For complete release of the cage compartment 2, the expulsion body 10, with its lattice rods as a cover, is swung over the mammal to its cage 1 completely detachable exit position. The expulsion body 10 is shown in FIG. 1 and 2 coupled with a wall-like 5

måde udformet lukkeorgan 19, som skal spærre udsparingen 6 henholdsvis fodertrugsåbningen og tillige undersøtte uddrivningsprocessen. Lukkeorganet 19 er del af den bageste længdesidevæg 5 og føres langs 5 gitterlængdestivere 20 og 21. Til at koble bevægelsen af lukkeorganet 19 til uddrivningslegemet 10 er der hængslet en forbindelsesstang 22 ved 23 og 24 på den ene side til et centralområde midt på lukkeorganet 19 og på den anden side til sidestiveren 13, hvilken 10 stang skal svinge med uddrivningslegemet 10 til den punkteret viste stilling i fig. 1. Forkanten af det vægagtige lukkeorgan 19, som vender mod udsparingen 6, forløber fra oven skråt nedad, så at det indelukkede fededyr, under længdeforskydningen af lukkeorganet 15 19 henholdsvis uddrivningssvingebevægelsen tvinges at tage hovedet ud af udsparingen. På grund af den skråt tilspidsende udformning af det vægagtige lukkeorgan 19 sikres det, at der er et tilstrækkelig frirum til udtagning af hovedet. På grund af uddrivningslegemets 20 bevægelseskobling med lukkeorganet gennemføres en uddrivning af et indelukket fededyr også uden problemer og hindringsfrit i de tilfælde, hvor der f.eks. stadig befinder sig foderrester i fodertruget 7.The closure means 19 are designed to block the recess 6, respectively, the feed trough opening and also support the expulsion process. The closure member 19 is part of the rear longitudinal side wall 5 and is guided along 5 grid length struts 20 and 21. To couple the movement of the closure member 19 to the expulsion body 10, a connecting rod 22 at 23 and 24 is hinged on one side to a central region in the middle of the closure member 19 and on the other hand to the lateral strut 13, which 10 rod must pivot with the expulsion body 10 to the position shown in FIG. 1. The leading edge of the wall-like closure member 19 facing the recess 6 extends downwardly from above, so that, during the longitudinal displacement of the closure member 15 19 and the expulsion swinging movement, the enclosed mammal is forced to take the head out of the recess. Due to the obliquely tapered configuration of the wall-like closure member 19, there is ensured that there is sufficient clearance to remove the head. Due to the movement coupling of the expulsion body 20 with the closing means, an expulsion of an enclosed fat animal is also carried out without problems and obstruction-free in the cases where e.g. feed residues are still in the feeding trough 7.

Ved det viste udførelseseksempel i fig. 3 sker, 25 ved en ellers fuldkommen analog udformning af burkassen 1, afspærringen af udsparingen 6 ved hjælp af en på den bageste længdesidevæg svingbart fastgjort svingarm 25, der ved hjælp af en vinkelarm 26 med indbyrdes hængselforbundne armdele 27 og 28 er koblet ubevæ-30 geligt med uddrivningslegemet 10's på den bageste længdesidevæg 5 beliggende sidestiver 13. På grund af uddrivningssvingebevægelsen af drivelementet 10 svinges henholdsvis bevæges svingarmen 25 og vinkelarmen 26's delarme 27 og 28 til de punkteret viste 35 stillinger i fig. 3. I stedet for svingarmen 25 og vinkelarmen 26 kan der derudover også anvendes andre. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 occurs, 25 in an otherwise perfectly analog embodiment of the can 1, the locking of the recess 6 by means of a swing arm 25 pivotally attached to the rear longitudinal wall, which is coupled to the arm by means of an angular arm 26 with interconnected arm parts 27 and 28 similar to the thrust body 10's on the rear longitudinal sidewall 5 located on the rear longitudinal wall 5. Due to the driving swing motion of the drive element 10, the pivot arm 25 and the angular arm 26's sub-arms 27 and 28 are respectively moved to the 35 positions shown in FIG. 3. In addition to the pivot arm 25 and the angular arm 26, others may also be used
