Universal egg tray and usage thereof

Abstract

The universal egg tray is used in fowl egg hatching machine. The universal egg tray includes tray frame, lower support, and movable and detachable egg holder, and the egg holder is short egg basket with egg shelf and rails. During hatching, the egg basket is first set on the lower support and then raised to eliminate the tray frame just before the young fowl is hatched out. The egg holder is changed when hatching different kinds of fowls. The present invention unifies the hatching egg tray to reduce work, reduce expense, and prevent egg damage and cross infection caused in shifting tray.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a component used for poultry egg hatching and hatching on a poultry hatching and hatching machine, that is, an egg tray. The invention also relates to methods of using such an egg tray. Background technique [0002] Existing manual (by means of machines) hatching poultry eggs into chicks, including two stages of hatching and hatching, both use two kinds of trays, i.e. hatching trays and hatching trays, and different eggs need to use different hatching trays. During the hatching stage, poultry eggs need to be tilted back and forth at a certain angle to turn the eggs. Therefore, the structure of the existing incubator tray is characterized by a lower support on the lower part of the tray frame to prevent the eggs from falling, and a permanent fixing bracket on the upper part of the tray frame. The egg clamp (also known as the upper grid) of the plate frame to prevent the eggs from tilting and rolling, the plate frame, the lower ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The egg tray with this structure is used for hatching, and there are still fixed convex frames and corner posts that cannot be removed around the eggs to hinder the chicks from struggling to break the shell and hatch, and the lower support surface full of obstacles and unevenness is not conducive to the hatched chicks. The poultry stands and lies down, and the chicks are easy to fall from its surroundings, so it cannot meet the hatching requirements of the existing hatching tray, and its structure is complicated, the manufacturing cost is high, it is not conducive to cleaning and disinfection, and affects its applicability

[0005] Another Chinese patent No. ZL99228307.8 also discloses a general-purpose egg tray for hatching. When the egg tray of this structure is used for hatching, the clamping of poultry eggs is not secure. The method of frame spacing is also relatively cumbersome. It is used for hatching, and the chicks are easy to fall from the gap between the egg racks or the edge of the frame, so it is not scientific
