Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of egg hatching devices, in particular to a flip-type hatching device and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] It usually takes about 30 days for goose eggs to hatch into goose chicks. Different temperatures and humidity must be used during the incubation period. For example, temperature control: the temperature is maintained at 38-38.5℃ in the early stage of incubation (1-10 days), 37.5-38℃ in the middle stage (11-18 days), and 35-37℃ in the late stage (19-28 days). Humidity control requires that the humidity should be relatively gradually increased during the entire incubation process.

[0003] Batch hatching technology mainly uses a fixed method to fix the eggs vertically in the incubator. This method relies on the fixture to fix the eggs, but the eggshell is relatively weak and easily damaged by the pressure exerted by the fixture. In order to improve the hatching efficiency, heat the embryo evenly, and prevent the embryo from sticking to the eggshell, some use mechanical flipping methods. During the flipping process, the flipping structure is mostly a mechanical or pneumatic overall flipping structure with concentrated force points, which can still easily cause the eggs to be over-pressurized and broken.

[0004] In addition, the incubation environment must be adjusted for eggs of different weights or according to the actual situation during incubation. Most of the existing incubators are unable to accurately adjust the incubation environment according to real-time changes in temperature and humidity. Traditional temperature and humidity adjustment methods generally use timed operations and a unified environment for large-scale incubation. They lack sensitivity and real-time performance, making it difficult to maintain the incubation environment in the best state, affecting the hatching rate and the health of the goslings, and making it even more difficult to achieve internal targeted, real-time and precise adjustments to the incubation.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a goose chick flipping multi-bag hatching device and goose chick hatching method that can more safely and accurately fix and flip eggs, monitor and adjust the hatching environment in real time, and assist in breaking the shells with air bags, thereby improving the hatching efficiency and quality. Summary of the invention

The placement cavity is a vertical rectangular structure, and the placement cavities in different egg placement structures can be arranged in groups of different sizes to realize the grouping of eggs of different sizes. The eggs should be placed in a placement cavity that is close to their own size to prevent the egg from being placed in an unstable position due to the presence of too large a gap in the placement cavity after the egg is placed.

[0009] Preferably, the temperature control structure consists of a mounting plate and a hot air blower, the flip motor is fixed on the mounting plate, and a plurality of air pipes one and one air pipe two are provided inside the mounting plate, wherein the air outlet end of air pipe one is connected to each corrugated pipe one by one, and the air inlet end of air pipe one is uniformly connected to air pipe two, and the air inlet end of air pipe two is connected to the hot air blower.

The through hole can be single or multiple. When the through hole is single, the size of the hole should be less than two-thirds of the egg. When the through hole is multiple, the hole should be multiple small holes, which can prevent the egg from entering the partition cavity through the vent hole while facilitating the circulation of hot air and water mist. The partition cavity is used to prevent the eggs in adjacent placement cavities from being too close and colliding. The airbag is fixed to the fixing plate 1 and the fixing plate 2 by gluing.

[0015] Preferably, a method for hatching goose chicks based on the above-mentioned flip-type incubator comprises the following steps:

[0016] S1. Open or close the top cover by means of the concave-convex buckle clip chain, and place the goose eggs one by one into the corresponding placement cavity;

The temperature sensor and humidity sensor monitor the temperature and humidity in the air bag in real time and transmit the data to the controller synchronously to start incubation;

[0018] S3. During incubation, when the temperature or humidity in the airbag is lower than the set minimum value, the controller will start the hot air blower or atomizer to increase the temperature or humidity in the airbag; conversely, when the temperature or humidity in the airbag exceeds the set maximum value, the system will stop the hot air blower or atomizer to prevent the temperature or humidity from being too high. At the same time, the flow of hot air and water mist entering the airbag can be limited by adjusting the valve, thereby realizing independent temperature and humidity regulation of different airbags;

[0019] S4. When ventilation is required inside the cabinet, the dehumidifier will dehumidify, and the fan and exhaust port can realize the exchange of air inside the cabinet while maintaining the oxygen content inside the cabinet;

[0020] S5. When rotation is required, the flipping motor is started by the controller, or the flipping motor is started by the controller at a fixed time, and the flipping motor is operated in a forward or reverse direction to drive the egg placement structure to rotate 180° to complete the flipping of the goose egg;

[0021] S6. In the final stage of incubation, the pressure is adjusted by alternating between large and small air volumes, while flipping is initiated to assist the goslings in breaking out of their shells. After the goslings have hatched, incubation is completed.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] The invention provides a fully automatic and intelligent flip-type multi-bag incubator. The temperature control structure in the cabinet and the multiple flip motors installed thereon work together to realize vertical fixation and precise flipping of eggs of different sizes. The soft and elastic characteristics of the airbag are utilized to avoid the damage to the eggshell caused by the traditional clamping and fixing method. The temperature sensor and humidity sensor installed on the second fixing plate are used to monitor the incubation environment in the airbag in real time. The information is transmitted to the controller, and the controller adjusts the temperature control structure in real time to accurately adjust the temperature and humidity, so as to ensure that each independent incubation environment is always maintained in the best state. At the same time, the airbag connection and the internal partition layer design , so that the egg placement cavity forms an interconnected safe space to prevent the eggs from being broken due to excessive pressure during the turning process. At the same time, in the later stage of incubation, the size of the air volume is alternately combined with turning to help the goslings break their shells. The multi-function bag-type structure improves the hatching rate. In addition, the spray atomizer is used to spray water mist or various liquid medicines. The water mist or various liquid medicines enter the air bag from trachea one and trachea two along with the hot air generated by the hot air blower, further improving the hatching environment and providing more favorable conditions for the normal development of the goslings in the eggs. The safety and success rate of egg hatching are significantly improved as a whole, realizing a fully automatic and intelligent incubation device, which is particularly suitable for goose egg hatching.

[0024] The goose chick hatching method based on the incubator is simple and intelligent. The controller cooperates with the temperature control structure, temperature sensor and humidity sensor to realize the effect of automatically adjusting the temperature and humidity in the air bag, so as to achieve precise goose egg hatching with strong targeting. The automatic flipping of eggs is realized by the flipping motor, which reduces manual intervention and effectively improves the egg turning efficiency and hatching effect.
