Description

[Detailed description of the invention] In a poultry house, a long feed gutter 7 for holding feed is installed on the front of the chicken cages arranged in rows.The wheels 10 of the chassis 2 supporting the feed hopper 1 are Conventionally, the method of placing the bait on the rail 11, moving the hopper forward, and continuously distributing the bait from the pipe 12 of the hopper to the bait trough 7 has been generally practiced.

In this case, the amount of feed remaining in the feed trough at the front of each cage varies depending on the presence or absence of chickens in each cage, the current number of chickens, and the chickens' eating preferences.

Because of this, the feed rate must be adjusted evenly from time to time, or because long feed troughs are sometimes curved vertically as shown in Figure 5 or front and back as shown in Figure 6, this may be the case. Therefore, the balancing operation is difficult.

The present invention has been devised in view of these facts, and its purpose is to ensure that the foreground leveling operation can be carried out smoothly and effectively, regardless of the curvature of the feed gutter in the front and back and up and down directions.

The rear edge of the upper surface of the rectangular metal frame 3 is pivotally connected to the chassis 2 supporting the feed hopper 1 with a hinge 4, and the vertical part of the angle mold 5 is pivotally connected to the front edge of the lower surface of the frame with a hinge 6. Then, the center of the back surface of the horizontal part of the mold and the top surface of the gate-shaped body 8 placed in the bait gutter 7,
Connect with vertical rod 9.

Effects When the hopper 1 is advanced, the gate-shaped body 8 connected to the rectangular metal frame 3 attached to the chassis 2 moves along the bait gutter 7, so that the feed is squeezed evenly in the gutter. It becomes accustomed to.

During the above action, the rectangular metal frame 3 pivots around the hinge 4 and lifts up somewhat (dotted line in Figure 4) at the point where the bait trough 7 is curved upward (Fig. 5), and the place where the bait gutter 7 is curved downward At that point, it goes down in the opposite direction (solid line in Figure 4).

Therefore, the gate-shaped body 8 always moves along the bottom of the gutter.

Next, at the point where the bait trough 7 curves back and forth (Fig. 6), the angle type metal 5 pivots around the hinge 6, and the gate type body 8 to which it is attached via the vertical rod 9 moves back and forth. do.

Therefore, several of them always move along the feeding trough that curves back and forth.

As described above, since the gate-shaped body 8 moves along the feeding trough which is curved forward and backward, the foreground can be smoothly and effectively balanced, which is extremely convenient for raising chickens.
