Description

[0001]
[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to a chicken cage having a structure in which a food basket for supplying food to chickens in the cage is provided in front of the chicken cages arranged in a row in the chicken farm .
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, a bait cage 100 having a cross-sectional shape as shown in FIG. 5 is often used as a bait cage provided in a large number of chicken cages. One example is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-37251. The bait 100 includes a groove-shaped V-shaped inclined portion 101 at the center and an inclined portion 102 that is one step higher than the groove-shaped V-shaped inclined portion 101.
[0003]
A feeder 103 as shown in FIG. 6 is provided to feed the bait into the bait having such a shape, and the feeder 103 is provided with leveling tools 104 and 105 for leveling the bait. Has been. The feeder 103 is configured to reciprocate along the longitudinal direction of the bait 100 so as to level the surface while supplying the bait uniformly.
[0004]
When the feeder 103 reciprocates along the bait 100, the slide member 106 disposed on the lower surface of the feeder 103 slides in contact with the surface of the bait.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the conventional bait bowl as described above, the slide member 106 disposed on the lower surface of the feeder slides on the surface of the bait bowl 100, so the contact portion between the bait bowl and the slide member (A in FIG. 5). This causes not only a thin bait and a weakened strength, but also a problem that a hole may be formed depending on long-term use.
[0006]
The present invention also slide member feeder slides has been made for the purpose of providing a poultry cages with Esatoi not red pore.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The chicken cage according to the present invention is
In a chicken cage comprising a bait cage and a feeder configured to slide along the longitudinal direction of the bait cage,
A slide member that slides in contact with the bottom surface of the bait cage is disposed on the lower surface of the feeder, and the bottom surface of the bait cage that slides with the slide member of the feeder It is thicker than the rest of the body .
[0008]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, a poultry cage according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings showing embodiments thereof. FIG. 1 is a side cross-sectional view of a main part of a chicken cage, and FIG. 2 is a side cross-sectional view in a use state.
[0009]
In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a food cage for a chicken cage according to the present invention. On the bottom of the housing 2, substantially horizontal bottom surfaces 21A and 21B that are gently inclined toward the intermediate portion in the width direction are formed. , 21B is formed with a concave recess 22 having inclined bottom surfaces 22A, 22B that are steeper than the inclination of the bottom surfaces 21A, 21B along the longitudinal direction of the housing 2. Reference numeral 6 denotes three ridges formed on the bottom surfaces 21 </ b> A and 21 </ b> B, each formed in the longitudinal direction of the housing 2.
[0010]
In FIG. 2, reference numeral 3 denotes a feeder according to the present invention, which feeds food fed from a feeding device (not shown) through a hose 33 into the food basket 1. A leveling plate 31 in the center and leveling plates 32A and 32B on both sides thereof are vertically suspended. 4 is a driving unit, the slide member 5A, 5B are mounted on the lower surface thereof. The slide members 5A and 5B are made of plastic with a smooth surface, and grooves are formed so as to be fitted into the frame portion of the traveling unit 4 from below.
[0011]
The feeder 3 is disposed so as to slide in a state where it is placed on the ridge 6 of the housing 2 by slide members 5A and 5B.
[0012]
Oite poultry cage having the above-described configuration, when supplying feed from the hopper to move along the installed rail to the cage top, the bait is fed to the feeder 3 through the hose 23. The surface of the bait fed from the lower surface of the feeder 3 into the bait basket is leveled by the leveler 31. The outer levelers 32A and 32B scrape the bait scattered on the bottom surfaces 21A and 21B toward the concave 22 and make it easy to fit with a bowl.
[0013]
The feeder 3 that has reached the end of the bait basket starts moving toward the opposite end after stopping for a predetermined time, that is, when the bait is reduced and when it becomes scattered and difficult to eat. At this time, you may just level without feeding.
[0014]
In this way, each time the feeder 3 reciprocates to feed or level the bait, the slide members 5A, 5B and the ridge 6 are rubbed and worn. When the slide members 5A and 5B are worn, the slide members 5A and 5B mounted on the side panel of the traveling unit 4 may be pulled out and replaced with new slide members 5A and 5B.
[0015]
When the slide members 5A and 5B are used over a long period of time, such as by changing the slide members 5A and 5B several times, the bait side also wears, but the manner of wear on the bait side wears that the ridges 6 become lower. Therefore, the housing 2 does not immediately become thin or have a hole. Therefore, since the replacement of the slide members 5A and 5B, which does not require labor and cost, can be performed in place of the replacement of the housing that is laborious and costly, it is possible to obtain an effect that the maintenance of the facility is simplified and the cost is reduced.
[0016]
The ridge 6 may be at least one for each slide member, and may not be parallel to the longitudinal direction of the bait. As shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of intermittent ridges 6 </ b> B may be provided to make it easier to scrape bait. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4, the thickness of the bait B at the portion in sliding contact with the feeder may be thicker than the other portion C. Moreover, you may provide the member which served as the leveling plates 32A and 32B and the slide member.
[0017]
Moreover, although the convex shape 6 may be shape | molded integrally with a housing, what was shape | molded separately may be attached by adhesion | attachment etc. The structure of the frame is not limited to the illustrated shape, and any structure may be used as long as the feeder slides to supply food. The material of the slide member is a smooth resin is preferable such as Teflon, it is also possible to use other materials such as metal. Further, a small wheel may be provided to reduce friction.
[0018]
【The invention's effect】
According to poultry cage according to the present invention, since increasing the thickness of the food trough feeders sliding contact portion, the hole is not red be somewhat worn, than is available without long term replacement.
