Description

Device for taking poultry out of cage

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention belongs to the technical field of bird houses, belongs to the A01K31 group of the IPC classification code, and more particularly relates to an apparatus and method for carrying out poultry out of a cage.

Nowadays, all modern automated poultry farms use the poultry farming system. And when chickens are picked, they are transferred directly to the poultry farms or poultry workshops. When catching chickens in cages by human work, it is cumbersome and time-consuming, and chickens deep in the cage are not easily caught because they are out of reach. Chicken coops with pull-type bottom nets can be pulled out by human work, which is also not easy, and the bottom net is in a direction perpendicular to the front door when the chickens reach a mature stage. Because a large amount of fish can be removed, chickens can be dropped on horizontal conveyor belts or other containers underneath the cage, requiring greater labor intensity from the operator.

Currently, there are cage frames that can automatically pick chickens and empty cages, such as the "Easy-Empty Broiler Cage Frame" disclosed in CN102893903A. Because of the use of floor nets, one side of the floor net must be lifted during the overturning of the floor nets, where the lifting height depends on the lifting angle and the distance between the sides and the axis of rotation, and the lifting angle is too small. If you do, the chicken will not fall automatically. Because there is a lower limit of the lifting angle and a height limit of each layer of the cage frame, the distance must not be too large, and if the distance is large, the height of the cage frame also increases, reducing the number of layers of chicken coop that can be placed at the same height. This will affect the space utilization. On the other hand, since the area of the overturning portion is small and the area of the overturning portion is large, the drop height when the chicken falls is increased and may be easily injured when the chicken falls. May affect Therefore, the half overturning half and the half overturning downwards must not be too wide, and the width of each bottom cannot be too large. Several overturning mechanisms are needed to pick out all chickens in one unit and empty the cage, which complicates the system and also creates a burden on maintenance. In addition, even if using the overturn type bottom net method can not drop all the chickens automatically in one unit to be driven out by the work of the person (specify the paragraph), as well as give the worker a burden on the automated machine Will also reduce the working efficiency.

1 and 2, the apparatus for carrying out the poultry from the cage according to the present embodiment includes a cage, the cage is provided with a front door (F) and side net (1), the bottom of the cage net Layers 2 and 2 'are disposed. The plurality of side nets 1 are arranged at equal intervals in the horizontal direction, whereby the cage is divided into a plurality of space units 7. 1 and 2, the cage is illustrated as having one space unit 7, but as in the other embodiments, when the cage has a plurality of space units, each space unit is continuously in the horizontal direction. Can be arranged.

In general, the front door (F) refers to a wire mesh arranged in front of the space unit (7) or a plurality of bars arranged horizontally or vertically, and when the poultry is accommodated in the space unit or in terms of maintenance It is installed to be open when access is needed inside. The side net 1 is fixed and may be made of a wire mesh or a plurality of rods similar to the front door F, but may also be made of a plate as shown so that poultry cannot contact between adjacent space units. The rear wall B of the space unit 7 may be configured like the front door F or the side net 1, and a ventilation duct or a device for fecal treatment necessary for a large breeding facility may be disposed.

On the floor of the space unit (7), the floor mesh layers (2, 2 ') which are linearly movable along the horizontal direction in a sliding manner are installed. The floor mesh layers (2, 2') are arranged in a line with each other. A block portion 2 and a bottom net hollow portion 2 '. In the direction seen from above, the bottom net block portion 2 is the same plate shape and size as the bottom of the space unit, and the bottom net hollow portion 2 'has the same shape and size as the bottom net block portion 2 The bottom

net layers

2, 2 ′ are connected via the chain 3, the chain wheel 4 and the drive device 5. 1 and 2, but the bottom net block portion 2 is illustrated as a plate, but this is for convenience and visual distinction of the description, it can be configured as a wire mesh as in a conventional cage, and also the floor Although the network block part 2 is illustrated as being horizontally arranged, the front door F may be inclined so as to be lowered for concentration.

upper floor layer

2,2'. will be. In this state, the bottom

net block portions

2 and 12 are located at the bottom of every space unit. Meanwhile, the lower bottom mesh layers 12 and 12 'are driven separately according to different driving systems than the upper bottom mesh layers 2 and 2'. That is, the lower floor mesh layers 12, 12 ′ are separate from the chain 3, the chain wheel 4 and the motor 5, which drive the upper floor mesh layers 2, 2 ′, 13. It can be operated by the chain wheel 14 and the motor 15.

According to the working principle of Example 3:

As shown in Figures 6 and 7, during breeding, since one bottom net block portion is provided for each space unit, the chicken may be stably in the cage. When the chickens in the first space unit 6 and the third space unit 8 need to be taken out, the bottom net block portion 12 of the lower bottom net layers 12, 12 'as shown in FIG. Overlaps the bottom mesh block portion 2 of the top mesh layer 2, 2 'and the hollows 2', the bottom mesh layer 12, 12 'and the

top mesh layer

2, 2'. 12 ') moves the lower floor mesh layer 12, 12' to the right until it fully overlaps, thus eliminating the members supporting the chicken at the bottom of the first space unit 6 and the third space unit 8 The chickens in the first and third space units 6 and 8 also fall on the conveyor belt or chicken transfer container at the bottom. As shown in FIG. 9, when the chickens in the second space unit 7 and the fourth space unit 9 need to be taken out, the bottom net block portion 2 of the upper bottom

net layer

2, 2 ′. ) And the bottom mesh block portion 12 of the bottom mesh layer 12, 12 'completely overlap and the bottom mesh hollows of the bottom mesh layer 12, 12' and the top mesh layer 2, 2 '( 2 ', 12') also moves the upper floor mesh layer 2, 2 'to the left until it fully overlaps, thus eliminating the member supporting the chicken at the bottom of the second and fourth space units 7, 9 Chickens in the second and fourth space units 7 and 9 also fall. When taking out the chickens in the second and fourth space units 7 and 9, if the carrying out operation of the chickens in the first and third space units 6 and 8 has just proceeded, that is, as illustrated in FIG. 8. In the same state, the upper and lower floor mesh layers 2, 2 ', 12 and 12' are all moved together to the left by one space unit to empty the bottom of the second and fourth space units 7 and 9, The chicken inside is dropped.

In the present embodiment, only four spatial units are given. However, according to the idea obtained from the present embodiment, those skilled in the art may use the idea to select among 6, 9, 10, 20, and dozens of spatial units. The task of removing the chickens may also be solved, except that the bottom mesh block portion of the upper bottom mesh layer is located at the bottom of the odd space unit, the hollow portion is located at the bottom of the even space unit, and the bottom of the bottom mesh layer is The network block portion is located below the even-numbered space unit, and the hollow part is located below the odd-numbered space unit, provided that the power of the motor is sufficient to ensure that the floor mesh layers are sufficiently driven. do. Of course, the top and bottom floor layers may be repositioned.

As shown in FIG. 10, the present embodiment differs from Embodiment 3 in that the bottom mesh block portion 12 of the lower

bottom mesh layer

12, 12 ′ is formed of the first and second

spatial units

6, 7. It is formed successively on the floor, the size of the bottom net block portion 12 is equal to the sum of the floor area of the first space unit 6 and the second space unit 7, the top bottom net layer (2, 2) ') Bottom net block portion 2 is formed on the bottom of the third and fourth space units 8 and 9, and the bottom net block portion 2 has a size corresponding to that of the third space unit 8; Coincides with the sum of the floor areas of the fourth space unit 9. On the contrary, the hollow bottom portion 2 'of the upper bottom mesh layers 2 and 2' is formed to correspond to the third space unit 8 and the fourth space unit 9 in succession, and the lower bottom mesh layer ( The bottom net hollow part 12 'of 12 and 12' is arrange | positioned corresponding to the 1st space unit 6 and the 2nd space unit 7.

According to the working principle of this embodiment:

When the chickens in the first and

second space units

6 and 7 need to be taken out, the bottom net block portion 12 and the top bottom net layers 2 and 2 'of the bottom bottom net layers 12 and 12'. The bottom net block portion 2 of) overlaps completely and the bottom net hollow portion 12 'of the bottom bottom layer 12, 12' is the bottom net hollow portion 2 'of the top bottom layer 2, 2'. And move the lower floor layer 12, 12 'to the right by the width of the two space units until it fully overlaps with Since the member disappears, the chickens in the first and

second space units

6 and 7 fall on the conveyor belt or the chicken transfer container at the bottom. When the chickens in the third space unit 8 and the fourth space unit 9 are to be taken out, the bottom net block portion 2 and the bottom bottom net layer 12 of the upper bottom net layers 2 and 2 'are to be taken out. 12 'completely overlap with the bottom mesh block portion 12 and the bottom mesh layers 12' and 12 'and the bottom mesh hollows 2' 12 'of the top layer 2 and 2' also overlap completely. By moving the upper floor net layers 2, 2 'to the left by the width of the two space units, the bottom of the third and fourth space units 8, 9 eliminates the support for the chickens. The chickens in the fourth space units 8 and 9 fall.

Of course, in the present embodiment, only four spatial units are given, but according to the ideas obtained from the present embodiment, the bottom net block portion of the first and second space unit floors and the bottom of the third and fourth space unit floors are provided. Each of the network block portions may be extended. For example, one floor net block part is responsible for blocking the first to tenth space units, and the other bottom net block part is responsible for blocking the eleventh to twelfth space units, and a total of 20 space units of chickens are taken out. Can solve the problem.

Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments, and the specific embodiments are merely exemplary and not limiting. Persons having the present invention may implement the present invention in various forms without departing from the scope of the spirit and scope for requesting the protection of the present invention by the spirit of the present invention. ① This application is not only used for poultry farming, but also can be used for forcible breeding of ducks. ② Instead of using a chain and chain wheel to transfer power, it is possible to transfer power by replacing the chain with a capstan and wire or a combination of belt and pulley. ③ Alternatively, the ball screw or screw nut structure may allow horizontal movement of the floor mesh layer. ④ All of the embodiments enumerated in the present invention use so-called closed chain transmission in which the chain operates on a closed loop, but open chain transmission can also be used as shown in FIG. Two motors (5, 15, 5 ', 15') drive the floor mesh layer, respectively, to allow horizontal movement. (5) According to the embodiments listed in the present invention, each space unit is rectangular in shape when viewed from the bottom, but each space unit can be produced in a parallelogram instead of a rectangle. (6) Or the bottom net block part and bottom net hollow part of Example 3 may extend longer. For example, the upper floor layer is divided into (5 space unit lengths of the bottom mesh block) + (5 space unit lengths of the bottom mesh hollow part) + (5 space unit lengths of the bottom mesh block part) + (5 Bottom net hollow) and the bottom net layer is made to have the same shape as the top net layer, and the bottom net hollow and the bottom net block part are arranged to be staggered with the top bottom net layer. This makes it possible to apply for breeding or taking out chickens for 20 consecutive space units, all of which extend beyond the scope of the present invention.

As can be seen from above, in the breeding state, the floor must be present in every space unit, so in any case, the sum of the area of each floor block portion of the upper floor layer and the lower floor layer is the floor area of each space unit. It should not be less than the summation, and should have a layout that can be moved to the bottom of each space unit by horizontal movement. On the contrary, it is sufficient that each of the bottom net hollows is provided with at least one of each of the top and bottom net layers. However, the hollows of the bottom net may be arranged to overlap each other and be in a state capable of moving to the bottom of all space units.
