Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention relates to a cage device installed inside a poultry farm.

(Prior art) As is well known, inside a poultry farm, cages are arranged horizontally in multiple rows vertically.
Each cage contains one or several chickens.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the conventional cage device described above, cages cannot be installed in multiple stages above and below. That is, in each cage, chickens must be removed for sick or weighed purposes, and new chickens must be placed in the cage. All of these operations are manual, so if the cage rows are stacked to a height that cannot be reached by human hands, the above-mentioned operations become extremely troublesome.
Therefore, conventionally, cage rows can be installed at most three levels above and below, and the cage rows cannot be installed higher than that, so the space under the ceiling of the poultry house is extremely wasted.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention was proposed in view of the above, and consists of multiple cage rows in which poultry cages are arranged horizontally in the vertical direction, and the lower cage rows have legs. It is characterized by the provision of a step stool.

(Example) The present invention will be explained below with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a cage device installed in a chicken house, and this cage device 1 consists of cage rows 3 in which cages 2 are arranged horizontally in a brood-like manner. They are installed in multiple stages vertically. In the embodiment shown in the drawings, the cage rows 3 are vertically arranged in five stages and are arranged in a back-to-back manner. Each row of cages 3 described above is placed and fixed on a horizontal shelf frame (not shown) provided between vertical members 4, 4, which are erected diagonally from the floor surface a of the poultry house at appropriate intervals. At the front of the row 3, a water gutter 5 and a bait gutter 6 are provided in series vertically.

In the cage device 1 described above, the gist of the present invention is that the footrest 7 is provided on the front surface of the lower row of cages.

This footstool 7 is constructed by attaching L-shaped supports 9 to the horizontal members 8 fixed to each of the vertical members 4 described above, and constructing an angled underframe 10 in series on the upper end of each support 9. The horizontal member 8 is shaped like a square pipe, and the support 9 is also shaped like a square pipe that can be inserted into the horizontal member 8, and a horizontally elongated hole (not shown) is formed in either or both of the horizontal member 8 and the support 9. Then, pass the bolt through and tighten the nut to fix the support column 9 to the cross member 8. Therefore, since each support column 9 can be adjusted in its longitudinal position relative to the cross member 8, the underframe 10 can be moved in its longitudinal position on the front surface of the cage row 3.

In the embodiment shown in the drawings, cage rows are arranged in five stages in the vertical direction, and the above-described footrest 7 is provided in front of the lower three cage rows. Therefore, the operator can climb each footstool 7 from below and reach the top row of cages sufficiently, so that hens can be easily taken in and out of each cage in the top row of cages.

Although the present invention has the above-described configuration, it can be modified in any manner as long as the configuration described in the claims for utility model registration is not changed. For example, the footrest 7 can be directly fixed to the vertical member 4, or the cage rows can be arranged in multiple stages in the vertical direction, and the footrests can be provided in the lower cage rows.

(Effects of the invention) In summary, according to the invention, since a footstool is provided in the lower cage row, even if the cage rows are installed in multiple levels above and below, it is enough to reach the topmost cage row by climbing the footstool. I can reach it. Therefore, it is possible to easily access chickens in and out of cages, not only in the top row of cages, but also in any row of cages, and to maintain and manage water gutters and feed gutters. Therefore, the space above the poultry house can be used effectively. Furthermore, even if the chicken house is small, it is possible to raise a large number of chickens, making it extremely effective as a poultry farm.
