Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial field of application] This application relates to a water supply gutter that is attached to the front of a large number of rearing cages arranged side by side in a poultry house to supply water to the chickens. This invention relates to an improvement in a water supply gutter for a poultry cage in which the upper end of the front side plate of a substantially U-shaped gutter body is configured higher than the upper end of the rear side plate located on the cage side.

[Conventional technology]

Generally, when raising chickens in cages, as the days pass, food and sludge from the chickens' beaks gradually accumulate in the water supply gutter, causing the bottom to become shallow and causing the water in the gutter to overflow. be. In this case, in the case of a conventional water supply gutter, the height of the front plate is the same as the rear plate, so the water that overflows over the rear plate is
The water flows down along the front of the cage where this is installed, but since the feeding box is installed at the bottom of the front of the cage with a large upward opening, water that overflows over the front plate of the water supply gutter will fall. All of it will flow into the feeder. In such cases, the feed in the feeder is suspended in water, making it difficult for the chickens to eat, and if the feed gets soaked with water, it quickly spoils during the summer, causing food damage to the chickens who eat it and causing disease.

[The problem that the invention is trying to solve]

Therefore, in order to solve these problems in the prior art, the front plate of the water supply gutter is made higher than the rear plate to prevent the water in the gutter from flowing down from the front plate, thereby preventing it from entering the feeding box. I thought about it, but if I simply adopted this kind of structure, the water supply gutter would normally be placed a little farther forward from the rearing cage and fixed at a predetermined point with a support bracket to make it easier for the animals to drink water. Overflowing water first flows from the upper edge of the low back side plate of the water supply gutter to the bottom of the gutter, and as a result, it falls into the feeder below, making the overflow from the back side. That alone would not solve the problem.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above problems, the water supply gutter of the poultry cage according to the present invention has the upper end 3 of the front side plate 2 of the gutter body 1 whose bottom surface is approximately U-shaped, from the upper end of the rear side plate 4 located on the cage 5 side. In the water supply gutter of a poultry cage having a high configuration, the upper end of the rear side plate 4 is separated from the substantially U-shaped outer side of the gutter body 1 and is integrally bent downward into a substantially dogleg shape in cross-sectional view. The side surface of the portion 4' is brought into contact with the cage 5, and overflowing water is guided in the direction of the cage 5.

[Effect]

Therefore, when the water overflowing from the gutter body 1 flows down from the upper end of the lower rear plate 4, it reaches the cage 5 along the bent portion 4', and the cage 5
The water flows downward substantially vertically, thereby preventing water from falling into the bait box located directly below the gutter body 1. In other words, when overflowing water flows down, the bent portion 4' is bent downward in a substantially dogleg shape and is separated from the substantially U-shaped outside of the gutter body 1. This prevents it from wrapping around the outside bottom of the letter shape and dripping down.

〔Example〕

Next, an embodiment of the water supply gutter for a poultry cage according to the present invention will be described in detail. As shown in FIGS. In the water supply gutter of a poultry cage configured to be higher than the upper end of the rear plate 4 located on the 5 side, the upper end of the rear plate 4 is integrally bent downward away from the substantially U-shaped outside of the gutter body 1, The side surface of the bent portion 4' is brought into contact with the cage 5 and fixed by appropriate known means. Further, in detail, the upper end of the front side plate 2 of the gutter body 1 having a U-shaped bottom (FIG. 1) or the gutter body 1 having an acute angle bottom (FIG. 2) (these are collectively referred to as approximately U-shaped). 3 is extended to an appropriate height, such as 5 mm to 10 mm, from the upper end of the rear side plate 4. The bent portion 4' has a substantially doglegged shape when viewed in cross section,
Overflowing water can be smoothly guided in the direction of the cage 5.

[Effect of idea]

According to the present invention, the water overflowing from the gutter body can be reliably transmitted to the cage through the bent part and flowed downward from the cage, thereby preventing water from falling into the feeding box located directly below the gutter body. As a result, water is prevented from flowing into the feeder and causing the feed to become waterlogged.This makes it easier for the chickens to eat the feed and ensures sufficient intake, especially in the summer. Since there is no risk of feed spoiling due to water falling into the water, it is extremely effective for the health of the chickens, and it also eliminates the need to dispose of feed due to spoilage, resulting in less feed loss and is economically advantageous. We have achieved this effect.
