Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a multi-stage poultry cage used for poultry raising.

(Prior art) In today's poultry farming, a large number of chickens are placed in poultry cages one by one, and these poultry cages are arranged in columns and in three or four stages. Workers feed and supply water and breed a large number of chickens.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) By the way, in recent years, the demand for chicken and eggs has been increasing with the westernization of dietary habits, and each poultry farmer is striving to increase production of poultry to meet these demands. . In the poultry farm, which is a breeding ground of each poultry farm, a large number of poultry farms are carried out by arranging poultry cages in a multi-tiered manner as described above. However, in order to further increase production, it is necessary to increase the current installation area of poultry cages.However, due to the recent rise in land prices, it is difficult for poultry farmers in various places to increase the installation area of poultry houses. The area is naturally limited. For this reason, it is desired that the poultry cages be stacked in more layers in the poultry house in a limited space.

However, in a conventional poultry cage constructed by assembling individual cages, in order to allow the worker to smoothly feed, supply water, or control the hygiene of the chicken, the poultry cage is stacked at about three to four stages. However, if the poultry cages are simply stacked and raised, it is difficult to feed and supply water to the upper berth, and this has a problem in that daily work is hindered.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. Sho 63-5472 and Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. Sho 62-46143 disclose a configuration in which a footrest is provided in each cage row below a vertical multi-stage poultry cage.

The footrest is a step-shaped, narrow, angled underframe for stepping up from below to an upper step. Therefore, it is not possible to walk on it in the column direction because it is dangerous,
This footrest could only be used to move up and down.

Therefore, in the upper row, although it is possible to work on the poultry cages adjacent in the column direction, it is not possible to reach the poultry cages several rows away, so one end, go down to the lower row, Until you reach the target poultry cage,
It was necessary to work on poultry cages within reach, and for poultry cages several rows away, it was necessary to go down to the lower passage at one end and step up from the bottom of the intended poultry cage. Such an ascending and descending operation had to be repeated from end to end of the cascading multi-stage poultry cage, so that the physical load on the operator was great. In addition, the step between the footrests is the same as the step in each poultry cage, which is a considerable step. Therefore, there is a problem in that when the user repeatedly goes up and down many times, he or she gets tired.

In addition, since the footrest has no handrail, there is a danger that the worker may lose his balance and fall down.

The present invention has been developed in view of the above points, and the object thereof is to facilitate inspection and management of the cages and chickens in the upper row of poultry cages arranged in tandem and multiple stages. To provide a multi-stage poultry cage.

(Means for Solving the Problems) Therefore, the present invention has the following configuration in order to effectively solve the above object. That is, in the middle stage on both sides of the poultry cage arranged in cascade, horizontal members are provided extending on both sides of each multi-stage poultry cage, and are supported by the projecting portions of the horizontal members so that they can walk in the column direction. Floor members,
An upper passage composed of a protective handrail erected along the column direction outside the floor member is provided, and an ascending and descending stair from the lower passage to the upper passage in the lower stage of the multi-stage poultry cage is provided.

(Operation) According to the above configuration, even if, for example, a chicken cage is stacked in five or six or more stages, a worker goes up in the upper stage passage through the upper stage passage extending in the middle direction in the middle stage. By performing repairs and inspections, etc., or feeding, watering, and hygiene management of the chickens in the cages, the above-mentioned operation can be smoothly performed on the upper cages of the stacked chicken cages.

In addition, since the protective handrail is provided, the fall of the worker is prevented. In addition, since the stairs are provided with the ascending and descending stairs, it is possible to ascend and descend to the upper-stage passage reliably and easily.

Example An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 is a multi-stage poultry cage according to the present invention, wherein each multi-stage poultry cage 1 is a cubic chicken cage 2 formed of a metal frame.
Are arranged in six columns in the left and right columns. The hens placed in the chicken cages 2 on the side of each passage 3 can project their heads to the respective passages 3 through the gaps of the chicken cages 2.

On both sides of each of the multi-stage chicken cages 1, upper passages 4 are provided in the third stage from the top of the chicken cages 2 stacked in six stages. The upper passage 4 is supported by the support members 5 and the like of each of the multi-stage poultry cages 1 provided in the cascaded multi-stage as described above.

More specifically, individual chicken cages 2 are arranged in cascade in a row like the above-mentioned multi-stage poultry cages 1, and these chicken cages 2
Are supported by the supporting member 5 to constitute each multi-stage poultry cage 1. A horizontal member 5a extending on both sides of each multi-stage poultry cage 1 projects in each span of the multi-stage poultry cage 1 in the column direction. I have. A floor member 6 such as a checker plate is mounted on the protrusion 5b of the horizontal member 5a for each span so as to be supported by the protrusion 5b.
Further, a protective handrail 7 is provided upright along the column direction outside the floor member 6. An elevating stair (9) is provided at one end of each upper passage 4. 8 is a lower passage. Of course, the ascending and descending stairs may be provided at both ends of the upper passage 4 or may be provided in the middle of the upper passage 4.

In this manner, upper passages 4 are provided on both sides of each multi-stage poultry cage 1. By passing through the upper passage 4, the worker can easily check the chicken cages 2 and the like in the upper three stages and see the state of the chickens in the chicken cages. It can be carried out.

It should be noted that the upper passages 5 provided on both sides of each multi-stage poultry cage 1 may be formed continuously, or alternatively, the other-stage poultry cage 1
Continuously connect the upper passages 4 provided on both sides of the upper passage 4.
May go to any multi-stage poultry cage 1. Further, as an application of the present invention, a passage may be formed in two or more stages on both sides of the multi-stage poultry cage 1.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, the present invention provides
In the middle stage of the poultry cage arranged in multiple rows of chicken cages,
A horizontal member extending on both sides of each multi-stage poultry cage is provided, a floor member supported by a protruding portion of the horizontal member and capable of walking in a column direction, and a standing member standing along the column direction outside the floor member. In this configuration, an upper-level passage consisting of a protective handrail is provided. Feed, water supply, hygiene management, etc. can be performed smoothly.

At this time, since the protection handrail is provided outside the upper passage, there is no danger of the worker falling down. Further, since the floor member of the upper passage is not an angle-shaped thin member but a floor member which can be easily walked, the walking movement and work can be performed safely and reliably.

In addition, since the ascending and descending stairs for ascending and descending to the upper passage are provided, when working on the poultry cage of each upper stage, the ascending stairs are used to ascend to the upper passage and walk on the floor member of the upper passage. To move in the column direction and reach the desired poultry cage. In this way, the work on each poultry cage can be performed while sequentially moving in the column direction along the upper passage in each of the upper stages.
