OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención pertenece a sector avícola, y más concretamente a mecanismos o aparatos para la alimentación y abrevado de aves de corral. The present invention belongs to the poultry sector, and more specifically to mechanisms or apparatus for feeding and watering poultry.
El objeto principal de la presente invención es un accesorio complementario para dosificadores de pienso, de especial aplicación en jaulas de gallinas ponedoras, mediante el cual se consigue que la yacija de cada jaula disponga de forma automática, rápida y eficaz, de la cantidad adecuada de material friable sobre el que la gallina pueda escarbar y picotear, reduciendo considerablemente los costes totales de la instalación, nave o granja. The main object of the present invention is a complementary accessory for feed dispensers, of special application in laying hens cages, whereby the cage of each cage is automatically, quickly and efficiently provided, with the appropriate amount of friable material on which the hen can dig and peck, considerably reducing the total costs of the installation, ship or farm.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Actualmente son conocidos en el estado de la técnica diferentes tipos de jaulas o baterías de jaulas, para la cría y recría de aves de corral, gallinas ponedoras, pollos, etc. Generalmente, dichas baterías de jaulas están constituidas por una estructura longitudinal y enrejillada formada por varios niveles o pisos de altura, disponiendo cada piso de un número de celdas determinado, en función de los requerimientos y dimensiones del lugar donde se prevea la incorporación de la instalación. Por encima de la citada estructura discurre un carro automatizado que se desplaza sobre un par de guías o perfiles longitudinales a lo largo de toda la batería de jaulas. Dicho carro incorpora un recipiente superior donde se aloja el pienso para su distribución final a través de un tubo general de suministro hasta el comedero principal, del cual se alimentan las gallinas. Currently, different types of cages or cage batteries are known in the state of the art for the breeding and rearing of poultry, laying hens, chickens, etc. Generally, said cage batteries are constituted by a longitudinal and lattice structure formed by several levels or height floors, each floor having a certain number of cells, depending on the requirements and dimensions of the place where the incorporation of the installation is foreseen. . Above mentioned structure runs an automated car that travels on a pair of guides or longitudinal profiles along the entire battery of cages. Said car incorporates an upper container where the feed is housed for final distribution through a general supply tube to the main feeder, from which the chickens are fed.
En la Directiva 1999/74/CE del Consejo Europeo, de 19 de Julio de 1999, se establecen las normas mínimas de protección de las gallinas ponedoras. En dicha Directiva se fija el 1 de Enero de 2012 como fecha límite a partir de la cual se prohibe la cría de gallinas ponedoras en jaulas "no acondicionadas". Más concretamente, en el Capítulo III, se describen las disposiciones aplicables a la cría de gallinas ponedoras en jaulas acondicionadas. En dicho Capítulo III, artículo 6, se especifica que el espacio disponible para cada gallina se incrementa hasta 750 cm2 y el área mínima total de cada jaula individual se amplía hasta 2000 cm2. Además, entre otros requerimientos, se prescribe que las gallinas ponedoras deben disponer de una "yacija" o lecho que permita a las gallinas picotear, para acortar y limpiar su pico; y escarbar, para reducir las garras de sus patas, permitiendo así cubrir sus necesidades etológicas. No obstante, dicho Capítulo III no hace mención o restricción alguna respecto a la forma y dimensiones del suelo ni sobre el tipo de material que se puede distribuir sobre el mismo, siendo necesario en cualquier caso que dicho material sea de textura "friable" (fácil de desmenuzar) y que se pueda picotear. In the Directive 1999/74 / CE of the European Council, of July 19, 1999, the minimum standards of protection of laying hens are established. This directive is set on January 1, 2012 as the deadline after which the breeding of laying hens in "unconditioned" cages is prohibited. More specifically, in Chapter III, the provisions applicable to the laying of laying hens in conditioned cages are described. In said Chapter III, Article 6, it is specified that the space available for each hen is increased to 750 cm 2 and the total minimum area of each individual cage is extended to 2000 cm 2 . In addition, among other requirements, it is prescribed that laying hens must have a "yacija" or bed that allows the hens to peck, to shorten and clean their beak; and digging, to reduce the claws of its legs, thus allowing it to cover its ethological needs. However, said Chapter III makes no mention or restriction regarding the shape and dimensions of the soil or the type of material that can be distributed on it, being necessary in any case that said material is of "friable" texture (easy to crumble) and that it can peck.
El problema técnico que aquí se plantea es el de disponer de una jaula o batería de jaulas para la cría de aves de corral, especialmente gallinas ponedoras, que presente un mecanismo automático para el suministro rápido y eficaz de material friable sobre la yacija existente en el interior de cada jaula. The technical problem that arises here is that of having a cage or battery of cages for the breeding of poultry, especially laying hens, that presents an automatic mechanism for the fast and efficient supply of friable material on the existing deposit in the inside each cage.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN Mediante la presente invención se soluciona el problema técnico anteriormente planteado proporcionando un accesorio complementario para dosificadores de pienso, de especial aplicación en jaulas o baterías de jaulas de gallinas ponedoras, mediante el cual se consigue que la yacija existente en cada una de las jaulas disponga de la cantidad de material friable suficiente como para que las gallinas puedan escarbar y picotear, ejecutándose todo ello de forma automática, rápida y eficaz, aumentando los rendimientos finales obtenidos y reduciendo considerablemente los costes totales de la instalación, nave o granja avícola de que se trate. El accesorio objeto de invención está destinado a instalarse y acoplarse en el conducto general de suministro de un dosificador de pienso para jaulas de gallinas ponedoras, de los comprendidos por un carro superior automatizado que se desplaza sobre un par de guías longitudinales, comprendiendo dicho accesorio al menos: DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION By means of the present invention, the above-mentioned technical problem is solved by providing a complementary accessory for feed dispensers, of special application in cages or batteries of cages of laying hens, whereby it is achieved that the existing deposit in each of The cages have enough friable material so that the hens can dig and peck, running all this automatically, quickly and efficiently, increasing the final yields obtained and considerably reducing the total costs of the poultry installation, ship or farm concerned. The accessory object of the invention is intended to be installed and coupled in the general supply duct of a feed dispenser for laying hens cages, of those comprised of an automated upper carriage that travels on a pair of longitudinal guides, said accessory comprising the less:
- dos pletinas superpuestas y orientadas en el plano vertical, preferentemente de configuración rectangular, siendo la pletina exterior, más próxima a las jaulas, desplazable respecto de la pletina interior, la cual es fija y presenta en su superficie unas ranuras pasantes en las cuales se introducen unos medios de unión vinculados a la pletina exterior y adaptados para permitir la elevación y/o giro de dicha pletina exterior, - two plates superimposed and oriented in the vertical plane, preferably of rectangular configuration, the outer plate, being closer to the cages, movable with respect to the inner plate, which is fixed and has in its surface some grooves in which introduce joining means linked to the outer plate and adapted to allow the lifting and / or rotation of said outer plate,
- una pieza de accionamiento, vinculada a la pletina interior a través de unos medios de fijación, y destinada a entrar en contacto con una varilla saliente dispuesta en cada una de las jaulas, y - a drive piece, linked to the inner plate through fixing means, and intended to come into contact with a projecting rod arranged in each of the cages, and
- un tubo inclinado de suministro, que presenta pendiente negativa y está vinculado por su extremo superior al conducto general del dosificador de pienso, y cuyo extremo inferior traspasa la superficie de la pletina interior fija, no así de la pletina exterior con la cual hace tope. - an inclined supply tube, which has a negative slope and is connected by its upper end to the general duct of the dispenser of feed, and whose lower end crosses the surface of the fixed inner plate, but not of the outer plate with which it stops.
Con esta disposición, al desplazarse el dosificador de pienso longitudinalmente a lo largo de toda la batería de jaulas, la pieza de accionamiento contacta con cada una de las varillas salientes de las jaulas, de manera que dicha pieza de accionamiento gira sobre sí misma, preferentemente en el sentido de las agujas del reloj, haciendo que los medios de unión arriba citados se desplacen a través de las ranuras de la pletina interior provocando la elevación de la pletina exterior y en consecuencia liberando la embocadura del extremo inferior del tubo inclinado. Esto permite la caída libre por gravedad de una cierta cantidad de pienso sobre el comedero y la yacija existente en el interior de cada una de las jaulas. With this arrangement, as the feed dispenser moves longitudinally along the entire cage battery, the drive piece contacts each of the protruding cage rods, so that said drive piece rotates on itself, preferably clockwise, causing the aforementioned joining means to move through the grooves of the inner plate causing the outer plate to rise and consequently releasing the mouth of the lower end of the inclined tube. This allows the free fall by gravity of a certain amount of feed on the feeder and the existing deposit inside each of the cages.
Preferentemente, tanto el conducto general del dosificador de pienso, como el tubo inclinado de suministro, están en todo momento llenos de pienso en su interior, de forma que cualquier abertura o vía de escape provoca la salida del pienso contenido. Asimismo, tanto las pletinas, la pieza de accionamiento y el tubo inclinado de suministro son preferentemente metálicos por sus propiedades de resistencia y robustez. Además, preferiblemente, la pieza de accionamiento presenta una configuración triangular, estando vinculada a la pletina interior fija a través de uno de sus vértices, en el cual se insertan los medios de fijación arriba citados, cayendo inferiormente el resto de la pieza de accionamiento por su propio peso. Preferably, both the general duct of the feed dispenser, and the inclined supply tube, are at all times filled with feed inside, so that any opening or escape route causes the contained feed to escape. Likewise, both the plates, the drive piece and the inclined supply tube are preferably metallic for their strength and robustness properties. In addition, preferably, the drive part has a triangular configuration, being linked to the fixed inner plate through one of its vertices, in which the aforementioned fixing means are inserted, the rest of the drive part falling down by your own weight
Cabe señalar que el accesorio complementario objeto de invención únicamente trabaja en una sola dirección de desplazamiento del dosificador de pienso, ya que en el movimiento de vuelta del dosificador, aunque la pieza de accionamiento impacta con cada una de las varillas salientes, no produce ningún efecto pues el giro producido en dicha pieza de accionamiento es un giro opuesto al descrito anteriormente, no consiguiendo producir la elevación de la pletina exterior. It should be noted that the complementary accessory object of the invention only works in a single direction of travel of the feed dispenser, since in the backward movement of the dispenser, although the drive piece impacts with each of the projecting rods, it does not It produces no effect since the rotation produced in said drive piece is a rotation opposite to that described above, and it is not possible to produce the elevation of the outer plate.
Asimismo cabe mencionar que para aquellos casos en los que no se requiera la puesta en funcionamiento del accesorio aquí descrito, se ha previsto la posibilidad de que el granjero o persona encargada pueda girar manualmente la pieza de accionamiento, situándola de forma que ésta no contacte con ninguno de las varillas salientes de las jaulas. De acuerdo con una realización preferente esto se consigue mediante un giro de la pieza de accionamiento de aproximadamente 360° en el sentido anti-horario, quedando apoyado el vértice más agudo de ésta sobre el tubo inclinado de suministro. It is also worth mentioning that for those cases in which the start-up of the accessory described here is not required, the possibility is provided that the farmer or person in charge can manually rotate the drive piece, placing it so that it does not contact none of the protruding cage rods. According to a preferred embodiment, this is achieved by a rotation of the drive part of approximately 360 ° in the anti-clockwise direction, the most acute vertex of the latter being supported on the inclined supply tube.
Por otra parte, señalar que la cantidad de pienso depositada sobre el comedero principal y la yacija de cada una de las jaulas puede regularse en función de la velocidad de desplazamiento del dosificador de pienso, de forma que a mayor velocidad del dosificador menor será la cantidad de pienso suministrada. Por último, cabe señalar que se ha optado por el pienso como material de depósito sobre la yacija, ya que el pienso no presenta los inconvenientes de otros materiales posibles, tales como por ejemplo la arena, las virutas o la paja picada, cuya distribución es complicada, crean problemas con las cintas limpiadoras, o son contaminantes debido a que acaban mezclándose con la gallinaza, formada principalmente por el estiércol de las gallinas. On the other hand, it should be noted that the amount of feed deposited on the main feeder and the reservoir of each of the cages can be regulated according to the speed of movement of the feed dispenser, so that the higher the speed of the doser, the lower the amount will be of feed supplied. Finally, it should be noted that the feed has been chosen as a deposit material on the reservoir, since the feed does not have the disadvantages of other possible materials, such as sand, shavings or chopped straw, whose distribution is complicated, they create problems with the cleaning tapes, or they are polluting because they end up mixing with the chicken manure, formed mainly by the manure of the hens.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION An example of a preferred embodiment of the complementary accessory (10) for feed dispensers (4) is described below, without limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
En la figura 1 se puede apreciar uno de los niveles de altura de una batería de jaulas (1 ), en el cual se observa el comedero (2) principal de las gallinas, además de la yacija (3) existente en el interior de cada una de las jaulas (1 ). Dicha figura 1 muestra también un dosificador (4) de pienso, alimentando cada una de las jaulas (1 ), y cuyo conducto (5) general, representado más claramente en la figura 2, dispone de cuatro accesorios (10) complementarios objeto de la presente invención, permitiendo el uso de dicho dosificador (4) de pienso en baterías de jaulas (1 ) de hasta cuatro niveles de altura. In figure 1 one of the height levels of a battery of cages (1) can be seen, in which the main feeder (2) of the hens is observed, in addition to the existing reservoir (3) inside each one of the cages (1). Said figure 1 also shows a feed dispenser (4), feeding each of the cages (1), and whose general duct (5), represented more clearly in figure 2, has four complementary accessories (10) object of the present invention, allowing the use of said feed dispenser (4) in cage batteries (1) up to four levels high.
Tal y como se muestra en la figura 3, cada uno de dichos accesorios (10) comprende: As shown in Figure 3, each of said accessories (10) comprises:
- dos pletinas (1 1 , 12) rectangulares superpuestas y orientadas en el plano vertical, siendo la pletina exterior (1 1 ), más próxima a las jaulas (1 ), desplazable respecto de la pletina interior (12), la cual es fija y presenta en su superficie unas ranuras (13) pasantes en las cuales se introducen unos medios de unión (14) vinculados a la pletina exterior (1 1 ) y adaptados para permitir la elevación y giro de dicha pletina exterior (1 1 ), - two rectangular plates (1 1, 12) superimposed and oriented in the vertical plane, the outer plate (1 1), being closer to the cages (1), movable with respect to the inner plate (12), which is fixed and has on its surface some grooves (13) through which some are introduced joining means (14) linked to the outer plate (1 1) and adapted to allow the lifting and turning of said outer plate (1 1),
- una pieza de accionamiento (20) de configuración triangular, vinculada a la pletina interior (12) a través de unos medios de fijación (21 ), y destinada a entrar en contacto con una varilla (6) saliente, mostrada en las figuras 1 , 4 y 5, existente en cada una de las jaulas (1 ), y - a drive piece (20) of triangular configuration, linked to the inner plate (12) through fixing means (21), and intended to come into contact with a protruding rod (6), shown in figures 1 , 4 and 5, existing in each of the cages (1), and
- un tubo inclinado (30) de suministro, que presenta pendiente negativa, estando vinculado por su extremo superior (31 ) al conducto (5) general del dosificador (4) de pienso, y cuyo extremo inferior (32) traspasa la superficie de la pletina interior (12) fija, no ocurriendo lo mismo con la pletina exterior (1 1 ) con la cual hace tope, de manera que al contactar la pieza de accionamiento (20) con la varilla (6) saliente de las jaulas (1 ), dicha pieza de accionamiento (20) provoca la elevación de la pletina exterior (1 1 ), liberando la embocadura del extremo inferior (32) del tubo inclinado (30), y por tanto, permitiendo la caída libre por gravedad de una cierta cantidad de pienso sobre el comedero (2) principal y la yacija (3) existente en el interior de cada una de las jaulas (1 ). - an inclined supply tube (30), which has a negative slope, being connected by its upper end (31) to the general duct (5) of the feed dispenser (4), and whose lower end (32) crosses the surface of the fixed inner plate (12), the same not happening with the outer plate (1 1) with which it stops, so that when contacting the drive piece (20) with the rod (6) protruding from the cages (1) , said drive piece (20) causes the outer plate (1 1) to be raised, releasing the mouth of the lower end (32) of the inclined tube (30), and therefore, allowing a certain amount of free fall by gravity I think about the main feeder (2) and the existing reservoir (3) inside each of the cages (1).
La figura 4 muestra un dosificador (4) de pienso moviéndose según el sentido de desplazamiento representado por la flecha D, y en la cual se representa el momento en el que la pieza de accionamiento (20) está a punto de entrar en contacto con la varilla (6) saliente de la jaula (1 ). Figure 4 shows a feed dispenser (4) moving according to the direction of movement represented by arrow D, and in which the moment in which the drive part (20) is about to come into contact with the rod (6) protruding from the cage (1).
Por su parte, la figura 5 muestra una vista similar a la figura 4 pero tomada un instante después, donde la pieza de accionamiento (20) ya ha contactado con la varilla (6) saliente de la jaula (1 ) y gira sobre sí misma en sentido horario, giro representado en las figuras 4 y 5 por la flecha "G", tomando como eje de giro sus medios de fijación (21 ) a la pletina interior (12). Dicho giro de la pieza de accionamiento (20) provoca que los medios de unión (14) se desplacen a través de dos ranuras (13) pasantes y arqueadas de la pletina interior (12), provocando la elevación y giro de la pletina exterior (1 1 ) alrededor de un eje fijo de rotación (15) que vincula la pletina exterior (1 1 ) con la pletina interior (12), permitiendo finalmente la caída de pienso. On the other hand, figure 5 shows a view similar to figure 4 but taken a moment later, where the drive piece (20) has already contacted the rod (6) protruding from the cage (1) and rotates on itself clockwise, rotation represented in figures 4 and 5 by the arrow "G", taking as its axis of rotation its fixing means (21) to the inner plate (12). Said rotation of the drive piece (20) causes the joining means (14) to move through two through and arcuate grooves (13) of the inner plate (12), causing the elevation and rotation of the outer plate ( 1 1) around a fixed axis of rotation (15) that links the outer plate (1 1) with the inner plate (12), finally allowing the feed to fall.
La figura 6 representa el mismo instante de la figura 5 pero visto desde el interior de la jaula (1 ). En dicha figura 6 se aprecia más claramente la pletina exterior (1 1 ) elevada, permitiendo la liberación de la embocadura del extremo inferior (32) del tubo inclinado (30) de suministro. Figure 6 represents the same instant as in figure 5 but seen from inside the cage (1). In said figure 6 the raised outer plate (1 1) can be seen more clearly, allowing the opening of the mouth of the lower end (32) of the inclined supply tube (30).
Por su parte, en la figura 7 se muestra el modo de trabajo "inactivo" del accesorio (10) objeto de invención. En ella puede apreciarse que la pieza de accionamiento (20) se encuentra girada completamente apoyando su vértice más agudo sobre el tubo inclinado (30) de suministro, de forma que dicha pieza de accionamiento (20) no contacta en ningún caso con las varillas (6) salientes de las jaulas (1 ), en ninguno de los dos sentidos de desplazamiento (D) del dosificador (4) de pienso. Finalmente cabe mencionar que tanto los medios de unión (14) de la pletina interior (12); como los medios de fijación (21 ) de la pieza de accionamiento (20); como el eje fijo de rotación (15) de la pletina exterior (1 1 ), pueden comprender tornillos, tuercas, arandelas, pernos o similares. On the other hand, in figure 7 the "inactive" working mode of the accessory (10) object of the invention is shown. In it, it can be seen that the drive part (20) is fully rotated by supporting its sharpest vertex on the inclined supply tube (30), so that said drive part (20) does not contact the rods ( 6) projections of the cages (1), in neither of the two directions of movement (D) of the feed dispenser (4). Finally it should be mentioned that both the means of attachment (14) of the inner plate (12); as the fixing means (21) of the drive part (20); as the fixed axis of rotation (15) of the outer plate (1 1), they can comprise screws, nuts, washers, bolts or the like.
