Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a mechanism for closing the space above the container in a container cage for chicken farming. The present invention relates to a mechanism for closing the space above a container in a container cage for poultry farming, which allows the space above the container to be opened and closed without pulling out the container.

Chicken cages that use containers have been known for a long time, but in the past, the open space above the container was closed so that the chickens could not jump out, so they could not get sick inside the container. When removing dead or dead chickens, the container must be pulled out each time, and healthy chickens may jump out, making the process difficult.

The object of the present invention is to provide a closing mechanism that closes the open space existing above the container in this type of container cage, and can release the closed state by an extremely easy operation if necessary, and its characteristics are as follows: A support member is installed horizontally above the container in the front part of the cage, and a support member is formed on the support member to prevent the chickens housed in each container from jumping out from the space above the container, and a corresponding container is provided at the lower end of the support member. A closing member having an abutment portion extending to sandwich both sides of the upper end can be pushed vertically with respect to the support member, and when pushed upward, the lower end of the abutting member is moved from the upper end of the container. It is supported so that it can swing freely in the front direction of the container when positioned above.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, a container cage to which the present invention is applied will be explained.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a foundation member supported horizontally and parallel to each other by support legs 2a, 2 and b, and a pair of fixed pipes 3a, 3b are fixed at predetermined positions on each of these foundation members 1. There is.

These fixed pipes 3 a , 3 b are provided with respective supports 6 a , 6 b and 7 a , 7 of the partition body 4 and the connecting body 5 .
b is inserted, and the partition body 4 and the connecting body 5 are vertically arranged.

In addition, each of the above-mentioned pillars 6 a , 6 b and 7 a , 7
b are formed to have the same diameter, and the three pillars are connected to the fixed pipe 3b.
It is configured to be tightly fitted and fixed when inserted inside.

For this reason, auxiliary rods 8 are inserted into the fixed pipes 3a and 3b located at the ends to compensate for the lack of one pillar.

Further, fixed pipes 9 formed in the same manner as the fixed pipes 3a and 3b are tightly fitted into the upper ends of each of the pillars 6a, 6b and 7a, 7b.

10 a and 10 b are the fixed pipes 3 a and 3
A pair of connecting members located parallel to each other are fixed to b via a pair of fixing members 11 and 12, and are placed parallel to each other at both ends on each of the base members 1. It connects and fixes.

A round hole 13 is transparently provided at a suitable position on the upper surface of these connecting members 10a, 10b, and a pair of clamping plates 14a, 14b are provided on the side surface to form a clamping space directly below the round hole 13. , these clamping plates 14a, 14
Rectangular fitting holes 15a and 15b are transparently provided in the side portions of b.

16 has both ends passing through the opposed round holes 13 and then being clamped by the pair of clamping plates 14a and 14b, thereby supporting the excrement removal belt suspended over the pair of connecting members 10a and 10b. It's a stick.

Reference numeral 17 denotes a return belt support rod, which has through holes 15a and 15b located on the sides of the pair of clamping plates 14a and 14b.
(7) Fitted and supported in the appropriate opposing through hole 15a or 15b.

Both belt support rods 16 and 17 support an endless excrement removing belt (not shown) connected to a suitable rotational drive system (not shown).

18 a , 18 b , 18 C, 18 d are through-holes 19 a , 19 b , 19 C, 19 d which are formed through the lower frame plate 5 a of the connecting body 5 at predetermined intervals, and both ends thereof are fitted and supported. There are two pairs of mounting frames, on which containers 208 and 20b are placed.

The lower surfaces of these containers 20a, 20b are formed into a slatted or mesh shape.

Reference numeral 21 denotes a partition member having attachment parts 21a and 21b at both ends thereof, and this partition member 21 is attached to a hole 22 transparently provided in the center of the upper plate 5b of the connecting body 5. The through holes a and 21b are located in corresponding positions and are screwed to the upper plate 5b.

Each of the containers 203
．． The upper space between 20b and 20b is partitioned.

Note that a wire mesh (not shown) is stretched over the upper ends of the connecting body 5 and the partition body 4 to form a ceiling.

Further, although not shown, on both sides of the cage along the connecting body 5, appropriate feeding mechanisms and water supply mechanisms are disposed at appropriate height positions.

Next, the closing mechanism according to the present invention will be explained.

Reference numeral 23 denotes a closing member, and this closing member 23 has three horizontal bars 23a that are approximately the same length as the front surface of the container 20H and are arranged at equal intervals, and two horizontal bars 23a at both ends of each horizontal bar 23a. A fixed attachment is provided from the bars 24a, 24b and an abutment bar 25 fixed approximately in the center of each crossbar 23a.

In the attachment, the upper ends of the rods 24a and 24b are curved into a substantially inverted U-shape, and the lower ends thereof are bent at a substantially right angle.

By bending the lower end forward at a nearly right angle in this way, the chicken that takes its neck out of the container will not be injured.

The lower end of the contact rod 25 is connected to the mounting rod 24a.
, 24b are bent in a hook shape in a direction opposite to the direction in which the lower ends are bent.

The closing member 23 is attached to the second frame plate 5b through a pair of through holes 26a having the same distance as the distance between the rods 24a and 24b.

26b, the above-mentioned attachment is supported by the above-mentioned upper azusa plate 5b so as to be able to swing freely by passing through the curved upper ends of the rods 24a and 24b.

That is, the upper azusa plate 5b' constitutes a support member.

The attachment is carried out by bringing the lower ends of the rods 24a and 24b into contact with the outer upper end of the front surface of the container, and the contact rod 2
By bringing the lower end of the closing member 5 into contact with the inner upper end of the front surface of the container, the swinging movement of the closing member 23 is prevented.

That is, each of these rods 24 a , 24 b , 25 constitutes a contact portion.

In the present invention configured as described above, the container 20a
To open the front upper part of the
After pushing a upwardly to release the abutting relationship between the abutting rod 25 and the container 203, the closing member 23 can be swung in the front direction of the container.

In this way, according to the present invention, the upper front part of the container can be opened and closed with a simple operation, so it is possible to perform necessary operations such as taking sick or dead chickens out of the container. , there is no need to pull out the container outside each time, and healthy chickens do not jump out of the container, making the work extremely easy and smooth.

It should be noted that the structure of the container cage to which the present invention is applied is, of course, not limited to that of the above-mentioned embodiments, and the attachment part and the contact part of the closing member may be constructed as separate members. is also possible.

As described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and it goes without saying that many modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
