Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Purpose A long water supply gutter A is hung in front of a large number of rearing cages arranged side by side in a poultry farm, and water is constantly circulated through the gutter A to supply water to the chickens. Splashed food gets into the water supply gutter, or food stuck to the chicken's beak mixes with the water, and in the summer, this food rots and pollutes the water, causing diseases in the chickens and harming their rearing.
The present application has been devised to eliminate such inconveniences, and by moving a roll brush in contact with the inside of the water supply gutter at any time, the inside of the gutter is cleaned, removing food mixed in the water, and purifying the water. The purpose is to

Structure The present invention provides gate-shaped metal fittings 2 at both ends of the hollow center of a roll brush 1 with the upper shoulder and lower end touching the hollow inner wall, and a projecting plate 3 at the center of the upper surface of the metal fittings. At the middle of a vertical shaft 6 provided on a frame 5 that protrudes from the upper surface and is fixed to the lower end of the advancing support rod 4,
One end of the horizontal rod 7 is loosely fitted, a pressing coil spring 8 is wound around the upper part of the shaft, a link 9 is provided below the horizontal rod parallel to this, and two links 11 are provided vertically at a distance from each other. , 12 are pivotally connected at the upper end to the horizontal rod 7, at the middle part to the parallel link 9, and at the lower end to the projecting plate 3. A stopper rod 10, whose upper end faces the tip of the horizontal rod 7, is attached to the front end of the parallel link 9. This is a cleaning device for a water supply gutter of a poultry cage, in which stopper rods 13 facing the lower surface are respectively installed in the longitudinal direction at the rear ends of the links, and the support rods 4 are moved forward or backward by an appropriate drive device. In the figure, 14 and 15 are sled plates provided at the lower ends of both stopper rods.

Effect: When the support rod 4 is moved forward (in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 1) using an appropriate device, its tip hits the stopper rod 10 and pushes this, causing the roll brush 1 to advance. In this case, the support rod is pushed down by the spring 8, and the gate-shaped metal fitting 2 is pushed downward by the vertical links 11 and 12, and the lower end of the metal fitting presses down the brush and brings it into contact with the bottom of the gutter (solid line in Figure 1). ). In this way, as the brush moves forward, the inner wall of the gutter is rubbed and dirt such as attached bait is removed.

When the brush reaches the front end of the gutter, the drive device is switched and the support rod 4 is moved backward, and the rod is pulled to the right and stops when it hits the downward stopper 13. In this case, the upper ends of the vertical links 11 and 12 It is pulled and tilted, and its lower end is lifted, and the portal fitting 2 is pulled up, pushing up the brush with its shoulder.
The brush is then lifted up and leaves the bottom of the gutter (dotted line in Figure 1). In this way, the brush does not come into contact with the bottom of the gutter when the container is retracted, so dirt in the gutter is not pushed backwards.

The main feature of this application is that the brush is hollow, so that as the brush advances, water flows freely through the hollow space, so there is no risk of it being pushed by the brush and overflowing outside the gutter. The brush moves smoothly.

By using this device, all dirt in the water supply gutter is removed, improving the efficiency of water purification work, preventing chickens from getting sick due to unclean water supply, and is extremely effective in raising chickens.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. Gate-shaped metal fittings 2 are provided at both ends of the hollow center of the roll brush 1, with the upper shoulder and lower end touching the hollow inner wall, and the projecting plate 3 at the center of the upper surface of the metal fitting protrudes from the upper surface of the brush. A horizontal rod 7 is attached to the middle of the vertical shaft 6 provided on the frame 5 fixed to the lower end of the support rod 4.
One end is loosely fitted, a pressing coil spring 8 is wound around the upper part of the shaft, a link 9 is provided below the horizontal rod and parallel to this, and two links 11 and 12 are installed vertically apart from each other. A stopper rod 10 is attached to the parallel link 9 by pivoting the upper end to the horizontal rod 7, the middle portion to the parallel link 9, and the lower end to the projecting plate 3, the upper end facing the tip of the horizontal rod 7, and the lower end having a sled plate 14. This cleaning device for a water supply gutter of a poultry cage is provided with a stopper rod 13 having a sled plate 15 at the front end and facing the lower surface of a horizontal rod and provided with a sled plate 15 at the lower end, respectively, installed in the vertical direction at the rear end of the link.
