Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an egg-laying hens storage cage device.

[Conventional technology]

Consisting of front, rear, left and right side net members, a top net member, and a bottom net member, each configured in a lattice shape,
Various types of egg-laying hen storage cage devices are known in which the front end of the bottom net member is configured as an egg receptacle, one example of which is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 11424/1983.

[The problem that the idea aims to solve]

In the laying hens storage cage devices that have been proposed so far,
As shown in FIG. 3, the horizontal wire B of the bottom net member A is located at the front of the storage basket, so the eggs C stay at the horizontal wire B and roll to the egg receiver D in front, as shown. Failure to penetrate the eggs often occurred, resulting in a tendency for the hens to peck at the eggs and break them.

Furthermore, since the bottom net member A bends and sinks due to the weight of the chicken itself, it is necessary to make the bottom net member A have a large slope, and as a result, there is a risk of broken eggs.

The object of the present invention is to provide an egg-laying hen storage cage device that can solve the above-mentioned drawbacks by improving the structure of the bottom net member.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the egg-laying hen storage cage device according to the present invention consists of a large number of vertical wires arranged vertically at regular intervals and a large number of horizontal wires perpendicular to these vertical wires, which are fixed in a lattice shape. The bottom net member is configured independently for each storage basket, and the vertical wires at both ends are thicker than the other vertical wires, and the frontmost horizontal wire located in each storage basket is thicker than the other horizontal wires. It is characterized by being thicker and positioned at a position offset from the front end of each storage basket to the rear.

[Effect]

In the egg-laying hen storage cage device of the present invention configured as described above, the vertical wires at both ends of the bottom net member and the horizontal wire at the frontmost side are made thicker, so the rigidity of the bottom net member is increased and there is no sinking. , the slope of the bottom net member can be set relatively gently.

In addition, since the frontmost horizontal wire is located behind the front of the storage basket, the eggs that remain in this position are pushed forward by the chicken's legs and are ensured to fall into the egg receiver at the front. It turns out.

〔Example〕

The illustrated embodiment will be described below.

FIG. 1 schematically shows an embodiment of an egg-laying hen storage cage device according to the present invention, in which storage cages are arranged in two rows back to back. Each storage basket has a bottom net member 1 inclined toward the front, and this bottom net member 1 is independent for each storage basket, and includes vertical wire rods 2 extending at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction, and each vertical wire rod 2
It is constructed by fixing or welding horizontal wires 3 extending in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal wires 3 to each other in a grid pattern.
The front end of the bottom net member 1 is bent upward to form an egg receiving part 4. The vertical wire rods 2L and 2R at both left and right ends of the bottom net member 1 are thicker than the other vertical wire rods 2, and the frontmost horizontal wire rod 3A is thicker than the remaining horizontal wire rods 3.

In Fig. 1, reference numeral 5 denotes a bait gutter that is commonly attached to the front surface of each storage basket on the same side, and 6 is a flap that is attached to the inside of the front surface of each storage basket. When the storage cages are stacked one on top of the other, this prevents feces from entering the feed gutter attached to the front of the lower chicken storage cage from the upper chicken storage cage, and prevents the chickens in the storage cage from falling under the feed gutter. This function prevents the eggs from being poked when they stick out their necks and move into the egg receiving part 4. 7 is a water supply duct, below which a water receiving gutter 8 is arranged, and 9 is an air channel. A feces removal belt 10 is shown below the bottom net member 1 of each storage basket.

The frontmost thick horizontal wire 3A of the bottom net member 1 is the second
As shown in the figure, the lower wire rod 11A of the partition net member 11 on both sides of the storage basket is positioned behind the front part of the storage basket and substantially below the flap 6.
can be supported by Alternatively, the horizontal wire 3A can also be supported by the front structural member 12 via a suitable fixing member (not shown).

By configuring the bottom net member 1 in this way, the support position of the thick horizontal wire 3A is rearward from the front part of the storage basket, so that the bottom net member 1 is affected by the chicken load.
Since the sinking of the bottom net member 1 is small, and the eggs caught on the horizontal wire rods are pushed forward by the chicken's feet, the slope of the bottom net member 1 can be made gentle.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, in the egg-laying hens storage cage device according to the present invention, the vertical wires at both left and right ends of the bottom net member and the forwardmost horizontal wire are made thicker, and the position of the forwardmost horizontal wire is adjusted to the front surface of the storage cage. Since it is shifted further to the rear, it is possible to reduce the sinking of the bottom net member due to the weight of the chickens, and as a result, the slope of the bottom net member can be made gentler, and the risk of breaking eggs due to rapid egg turning can be prevented. . Also, since the frontmost horizontal wire is located behind the front part of the storage basket,
Eggs caught on this horizontal wire are pushed forward by the chicken's legs, reducing the possibility of egg stagnation.
