Chicken coop door
View Patent ↗A chicken coop door includes a door body, a connecting component, and a driving device. One end of the door body is connected to the pivot of the driving device through the connecting component, with the other end serving as the movable end. The rotation of the pivot propels the connecting component and door body to rotate. During the closing process, the connecting component guide the downward movement of the door body after rotation. The chicken coop door achieves rotational opening by placing connecting component, a driving device, and their pivot connection on the door body. This design prevents injuries to chickens during door closure and resolves the issue of the door being obstructed by chicken droppings during the rotational closing process, ensuring complete closure.
1 . A chicken coop door, comprising a door body, a connecting component, and a driving device;
wherein one end of the door body is connected to a pivot of the driving device through the connecting component, with the other end of the door body serving as a movable end; the pivot drives the connecting component and the door body to rotate; during a closing process, the door body is moved downwardly after rotation by means of the connecting component;
the connecting component is a hinge; one leaf of the hinge is connected to the pivot, while the other leaf of the hinge is connected to the door body;
a torsion spring is positioned on a core of the hinge; two pressure feet of the torsion spring are located on the same side of the hinge;
a guiding plate is situated on an upper portion of the door body; the guiding plate is disposed in an upwardly inclined orientation such that, upon initiation of a closing movement of the door body from a vertically open position, the door body moves upward and passes over the guiding plate, an inclined surface of the guiding plate altering the center of gravity of the door body to assist in transitioning the door body from a vertical to a horizontal orientation.
2 . The chicken coop door according to claim 1 , wherein the pivot has a dial equipped with a gear portion; one side of gear portion of the dial has a light source, and the other side of the gear portion has a first light sensor; the first light sensor is connected to a circuit board of the driving device;
wherein the circuit board determines the rotational angle of the door body by counting the light emitted from the light source to the surface of the first light sensor.
3 . The chicken coop door according to claim 2 , wherein the chicken coop door further includes a second light sensor; the second light sensor is connected to the circuit board of the driving device; the second light sensor detects environmental changes to trigger the driving device to open the door body.
