Description

{CAGE FOR TRANSPORTING POULTRY}

The present invention relates to a cage for poultry transportation, and more particularly, to a cage which is mounted on a transportation vehicle and has a multi-layered structure so that poultry such as chickens and ducks can be received and transported, The front end of the shelf is vertically pivoted so that the inlet formed at the front of the cage can be extended upward so as to insert the poultry into the cage so that the poultry bumps into the narrow entrance of the cage in the process of putting the poultry into the cage for shipment, To a cage for poultry transportation that can reduce the loss of marketability due to bruises and prevent the poultry from being killed during transportation due to a wound.

Generally, livestock such as chickens and ducks are called poultry, and these poultry are supplied in large quantities to factories that produce large amounts of poultry.

In the cargo loading compartment of the transportation vehicles used for transporting and transporting the poultry, a large number of cages stacked in the network are stacked to accommodate a large amount of poultry, or a large cage adapted to the size of the cargo loading compartment is mounted In this cage, poultry is received and transported to a poultry processing plant.

Such a cage has been customized by a user using wood or the like in the past, or it is customized on an iron worksite or the like so that the cage can be loaded to the size of the cargo space of a transportation vehicle. That is, in the past, the manufacture and supply of professional mobile cages adapted to carry poultry could not be achieved.

In addition, since the past cage was manufactured with a rule-of-thumb, it was very rough in its shape, and not only was the ventilation difficult during transportation of the poultry, but also several poultry in the cage bounced against the wall Or slipping and falling, and the incidence of mortality of poultry during transport was very high.

In addition, since the past cage was once installed in the vehicle, it was not easy to separate it. Therefore, it was inconvenient to use the vehicle only as a poultry transportation vehicle. When the cage was to be separated, it was separated by a plurality of personnel and various tools This was very troublesome because of the risk of safety accidents and inconvenience to work.

In addition, when the poultry is shipped from the farm to the vehicle, the poultry must be manually inserted into the cage by the person when the poultry is shipped from the farm to the vehicle. However, there are troubles and inconveniences in the work, There was a problem that it took a lot of manpower and time because it had to take one by one and take it out of the cage.

In the prior art developed to solve the problem caused by the use of the past cage as described above, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0363148 (Registered Date: Nov. 19, 2002) "Mobile chicken rack" There is a bar.

The mobile chick according to the above-described prior art has a door opening and closing door selectively opening and closing only a certain layer on the front part so as to sequentially accommodate the chickens and a rear door having a door for pouring the housed chicken at one time, And a foot guide groove is formed in the part so that the foot guide can be moved to a predetermined position by being lifted by the forklift.

The above-described mobile chicken cooperator of the prior art can prevent the occurrence of four seasons during transportation and is convenient to transport. When the chicken coop is tilted at a machining factory or the like, when the chicken coop is tilted, the chopper is automatically poured at once, There was an effect.

However, the above-described prior art has caused considerable problems in the process of putting poultry into a cage for shipment on the farm.

Meanwhile, in recent years, most of the specifications management such as feeding, watering, lighting, and environmental control is automated for the breeding of poultry, but the automation system for shipment, which enables convenient shipment of breeding poultry, Since it is not in widespread use, the shipment work still depends on the workforce to the present so that it takes much labor and time.

As a result, during poultry shipment, the worker pours one poultry into the cage quickly for quick work.

However, since the conventional cages including the above-described conventional techniques are multi-layered, the size of the inlet for each phase formed in each layer is very narrow. Therefore, a large number of poultry enters the inside of the cage while bumping against the rim or wall of the narrow entrance during poultry work. This can result in injury to the poultry, loss of marketability due to bruising, or damage to the wounded poultry during transportation, resulting in significant losses to the producer or supplier.

In addition, as the number of cages increases, the distance between the operator and the entrance is too long, which makes the work more difficult.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a poultry carrying cage having a plurality of shelves therein, The inlet formed at the front of the cage can be extended upward to reduce the impact of the poultry against the narrow inlet of the cage in the process of putting the poultry into the cage for shipment so that the poultry is scratched or bruised, And to prevent the poultry from being killed during transportation due to a wound, and to provide a cage for poultry transportation.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a cage for transporting poultry including ducks and chickens, the cage having a plurality of shelves therein, And a front opening and closing door for opening and closing an inlet formed in the front surface to receive the poultry into the accommodation space and a rear opening and closing door for opening and closing an outlet formed for pouring the poultry contained in the accommodation space, Wherein the front opening and closing door is provided with a plurality of openings corresponding to one or more floors of the cage body so as to selectively open the receiving space of the cage body to receive poultry, Wherein a plurality of cages are provided over one or more layers of the cage body, The upper end portion is hingedly connected to the rear surface of the cage body so that the lower end thereof can be pivoted to open the outlet when the main body is inclined toward the rear side and the plurality of shelves are extended by individually extending A rear end portion of the cage body is hinged to a rear surface of the cage body so that a front end portion thereof is vertically rotatable.

The poultry transporting cage according to the present invention further comprises a hook rotatably provided on the front surface of the cage body so that the front end of the shelf can be hung and fixed while the front end of the shelf is rotated in an upward direction .

In the poultry transportation cage according to the present invention, the cage body further includes a front locking device for locking the front opening and closing door, wherein the front locking device comprises: a rotation piece rotatably coupled to one side of the front opening and closing door; And a retaining piece provided at a position opposite to the rotating piece in the cage body so that the rotating piece is rotated and hooked.

Further, in the poultry transportation cage according to the present invention, the cage body further includes a rear surface locking device for locking the rear opening and closing door, wherein the rear surface caching device is provided on both sides of the cage body so as to be rotatable in the left- A cover member which is elongated in the longitudinal direction so as to entirely restrain a plurality of rear opening and closing doors, a fixing pin provided on one side of the cover member so as to protrude downwardly, And a lock ring provided at a position opposite to the lock ring.
