Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of laying hen breeding, in particular to an egg collecting device and an egg collecting method in a breeding chicken house. Background Art

[0002] As the world's largest egg producer and consumer, my country's egg production accounts for about 36% of the world's total. The laying hen industry is an important livelihood industry to ensure the safe and stable supply of the "vegetable basket" of urban and rural residents. Among them, three-dimensional breeding technology is widely used in the laying hen breeding field due to its high breeding density per unit area and high degree of automation.

[0003] Intensive super-high-rise complete breeding equipment is an innovative model of three-dimensional laying hen breeding. It significantly improves production efficiency and egg quality by increasing breeding density and automation level. The equipment adopts an advanced automatic control system, which can achieve precise control of the environment in the chicken house, including temperature, humidity, light, etc., to meet the needs of laying hens at different growth stages. At the same time, the equipment also has a good ventilation system to ensure air circulation in the chicken house, reduce the occurrence of diseases, and improve the health level and egg production rate of laying hens. In addition, the design of the egg collecting device takes into account the collection efficiency and safety of eggs, reduces manual intervention, and reduces labor intensity and cost. In the actual breeding process, since the laying time of laying hens is not fixed, the egg collecting device needs to be started many times. Each time the egg collecting device is started, the eggs produced are transported to the subsequent process under the alternating transportation of multiple conveyor belts. When the egg collecting device is not started, the conveyor belts are in a stagnant state. The eggs laid by laying hens roll onto the conveyor belt under the action of gravity and are in a dispersed state on the conveyor belt. When the egg collecting device is started, the egg transportation saturation on the egg collecting device is low. Therefore, when the produced eggs are completely discharged, not only the egg transfer time is extended, but also the energy consumption of the egg collecting device is increased, which is not in line with the concept of energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0004] The related technology discloses a fully automatic egg collecting device for a stepped laying hen cage, with application number CN2020106976037. This scheme can collect all the eggs into an egg collecting box in one movement through the cooperation of a guiding device and an egg output device, thereby realizing fully automatic egg collection. However, in actual application, it is found that since the device uses an inclined slide rail to guide the movement of the eggs and then gather the eggs, during the movement of the eggs, although a flexible material is provided on the slide rail to buffer the impact between the eggs and the equipment, when there is a difference in the movement speed of the eggs, the probability of multiple eggs in the same track colliding with each other is very high, and the collision can easily cause the eggs to break. Moreover, when running for a long time, foreign matter such as feces attached to the eggs will be transferred to the track, which will hinder the sliding of the eggs in the track, resulting in inconsistent egg movement speeds, further leading to an increase in the probability of collision between eggs, which is not conducive to the safe transportation of eggs.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention proposes an egg collecting device and an egg collecting method for a chicken house, which are used to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further explained below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the egg collecting device and egg collecting method of a chicken house according to the present invention comprises an egg collecting trough 1 and a vertical conveyor 13 installed on an intensive super-high-rise chicken house;

[0044] The egg collecting trough 1 is composed of a trough body 11 and a guide 12, the trough body 11 is fixedly connected to the guide 12, the trough body 11 is a semicircular plate structure, the guide 12 is obliquely installed at the bottom of the chicken house, and the guide 12 is used to guide the eggs to roll toward the trough body 11;

[0045] The vertical conveyor 13 is electrically connected to the egg collecting trough 1. The vertical conveyor 13 is a plate chain conveyor equipped with a bent claw. The vertical conveyor 13 is used to transport eggs in a vertical lifting manner.

[0046] It also includes a gravity gathering mechanism, which is installed on the egg collecting trough 1 and is used to guide the eggs to gather in the vertical conveyor 13;

[0047] The gravity convergence mechanism comprises a support frame, a circulating belt 2 and a partition plate 21;

[0048] The egg collecting trough 1 is fixedly mounted with a support frame, the support frame is sleeved with a circulating belt 2, the circulating belt 2 is an annular structure, and partition plates 21 are fixedly mounted at equal intervals on the circulating belt 2, and the circulating belt 2 and the partition plates 21 are used to transport eggs;

[0049] The support frame is arranged obliquely, and the egg collecting trough 1 and the lowest end of the support frame face the vertical conveyor 13 .

[0050] In the three-dimensional breeding technology of laying hens, the use of automated egg collecting equipment can effectively reduce manpower requirements and improve egg collection efficiency. During normal use, due to the inconsistent egg-laying time of the chickens, the egg collecting equipment needs to be opened multiple times a day, and the eggs are transported to the subsequent process by the egg collecting equipment. When the egg collecting equipment stops working, the eggs laid in the chicken house are accumulated in the egg collecting trough 1. In order to avoid the eggs in the egg collecting trough 1 colliding with each other, the egg collecting equipment needs to be started frequently, and each time it is started, the egg transportation efficiency is low due to the small number of eggs distributed and the high degree of dispersion. In order to solve this problem, the present invention sets a gravity convergence component. When the egg collecting equipment stops working, under the action of gravity, the eggs are prompted to converge in the direction of the vertical conveyor 13. Then, after the vertical conveyor 13 is started, the laid eggs can be quickly transported to the next process, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the equipment.

[0051] Specifically, the intensive super-high-rise breeding chicken house is a vertical structure, and a group of egg collecting troughs 1 are arranged on each layer of the chicken house, wherein the guide member 12 constituting the egg collecting trough 1 is a plate-shaped structure, which extends into the chicken house and is used to support the chickens in the chicken house, and the guide member 12 is arranged in an inclined shape. When the chickens lay eggs, under the action of gravity, the collected eggs move along the guide member 12 toward the trough body 11 (the structure here is the prior art and will not be described in detail). In the conventional technology, a conveyor belt or a pushing device is installed in the trough body 11 of the egg collecting trough 1 to push the eggs toward the vertical egg collector, and in the present invention, a gravity convergence mechanism is installed in the trough body 11, wherein the support frame constituting the gravity convergence mechanism is fixedly installed on the trough body 1 1, while the circulating belt 2 is slidably installed on the support frame, and the circulating belt 2 is fixedly installed with evenly distributed partitions 21, and the support frame and the circulating belt 2 are both inclined. Therefore, when the eggs fall into the trough body 11, the eggs are separated by the partitions 21. As the number of eggs on the circulating belt 2 increases, the circulating belt 2 is subjected to uneven force. Under the action of gravity, the circulating belt 2 overcomes the resistance between it and the support frame, and then circulates and rotates, prompting the eggs to move toward the bottom of the support frame. Since the circulating belt 2 is a complete annular structure, as the circulating belt 2 moves downward, the eggs located in the gaps of the partitions 21 gradually lose their restrictions, and then move toward the direction of the vertical conveyor 13, thereby realizing the automatic collection of eggs.

[0052] In the present invention, a circulating belt 2 is provided which is slidably mounted on an inclined support frame. When eggs fall onto the circulating belt 2 under the action of gravity, the gravity of the eggs and the impact force caused by the eggs falling act together, causing the circulating belt 2 to be subjected to a force in one direction, thereby causing the circulating belt 2 slidably mounted on the support frame to rotate. As the circulating belt 2 rotates, the eggs are transported toward the vertical conveyor 13. Compared with the transportation equipment driven by an active power source in the prior art, the present invention does not need to set a power source during conventional use. The imbalance of force caused by the falling eggs is used to cause the circulating belt 2 to transport the eggs, and as the vertical conveyor 1 3, when the vertical conveyor 13 is started, the loading rate on the vertical conveyor 13 can be improved, thereby accelerating the efficiency of egg transportation and shortening the starting time of the vertical conveyor 13, thereby playing a role in energy conservation and emission reduction. Compared with the related technology of collecting eggs by slide rails, the eggs in the present invention are in a stationary state compared to the circulating belt 2 when they are moving, and the partition plate 21 is used to limit the eggs, which can not only effectively reduce the probability of collision between eggs, but also avoid violent collision between eggs and transportation equipment, thereby effectively reducing the breakage rate of eggs and improving the safety of egg transportation.

[0053] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the support frame at least includes a support rail 22, an annular groove 23 is provided on the support rail 22, a rotating groove 24 is provided on the circulating belt 2, and evenly distributed balls 25 are rotatably installed in the rotating groove 24. The balls 25 extend into the annular groove 23, and the circulating belt 2 is rollingly connected to the support rail 22 through the balls 25.

[0054] In actual application, the support frame at least includes a support rail 22, which is fixedly installed inside the trough body 11, and an annular groove 23 is provided on the support rail 22, and a rotating groove 24 is provided on the circulating belt 2, in which a ball 25 is rotatably installed, and the circulating belt 2 is rollingly connected to the annular groove 23 through the ball 25. Therefore, when the circulating belt 2 is filled with eggs, since the support rail 22 and the circulating belt 2 are both inclined, the circulating belt 2 has a tendency to slide downward along the support rail 22. Under the action of this tendency, the ball 25 on the circulating belt 2 rotates, and then the rotation of the ball 25 reduces the friction between the circulating belt 2 and the support rail 22, thereby reducing the movement resistance of the circulating belt 2. Therefore, when the eggs fall onto the conveyor belt, under the action of the gravity of the eggs, the difficulty of the movement of the circulating belt 2 is reduced, and as the number of eggs falling increases, the force that prompts the circulating belt 2 to move downward along the support rail 22 gradually increases, thereby enhancing the transportation effect of the circulating belt 2 on the eggs.

[0055] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the support rails 22 are symmetrically designed, the annular grooves 23 are provided on the sides of the support rails 22 that are close to each other, and both sides of the circulating belt 2 extend into the annular grooves 23 .

[0056] The support rails 22 are symmetrically arranged and distributed on both sides, and the circulating belt 2 is installed between the two support rails 22. On the one hand, the two ends of the circulating belt 2 are extended to the annular groove 23 on the support rail 22, so that the ball 25 is blocked, thereby reducing the probability of chicken manure and other debris adhering to the ball 25 during long-term use. On the other hand, the middle part of the circulating belt 2 is suspended, and when eggs fall on the circulating belt 2 made of elastic material, the probability of eggs breaking under the impact force can be reduced.

[0057] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an interception groove 26 is provided on the circulating belt 2, and an elastic net 27 is fixedly installed in the interception groove 26. The elastic net 27 is located in the interval between two adjacent partition plates 21. Since the support frame and the circulating belt 2 are both inclined, there is a certain impact force when the eggs fall from the top of the trough body 11 to the circulating belt 2. The elastic net 27 in the interception groove 26 is used to elastically intercept the eggs, which can reduce the probability of egg breakage. At the same time, the impact force can further enhance the effect of the directional movement of the circulating belt 2, which is convenient for collecting the eggs.

[0058] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an elastic sheet 28 is fixedly installed on the top of the partition plate 21, and a pull rope 29 is fixedly installed on the elastic sheet 28. The pull rope 29 extends to the elastic net 27. In the initial state, the elastic sheet 28 and the partition plate 21 are designed to be straight. There are two elastic sheets 28 on a single partition plate 21, and the two elastic sheets 28 are connected to two adjacent elastic nets 27 through the pull rope 29 respectively. The arrangement of the elastic sheet 28 and the pull rope 29, on the one hand, is to use the flexible pull rope 29 to slow down the movement rate of the egg when the egg falls onto the elastic net 27. On the other hand, under the action of the gravity of the egg, the elastic net 27 deforms downward, thereby pulling the pull rope 29. Since the other end of the pull rope 29 is fixedly spliced ​​with the elastic sheet 28, under the pulling action of the pull rope 29, in the initial state The elastic sheet 28 which is straight with the partition plate 21 is gradually bent, and since a single partition plate 21 is provided with two elastic sheets 28, the bending of the elastic sheets 28 on the two adjacent partition plates 21 is utilized to shield the upper part of the elastic groove. When the circulating belt 2 moves downward, when the egg falls to this position again, the falling egg is blocked by the elastic sheet 28 and cannot fall directly onto the elastic net 27, and thus will not directly collide with the eggs already on the elastic net 27. Since the circulating belt 2 is in a continuous operation state when carrying eggs, the probability of multiple eggs falling at the same position is small. After being blocked by the bent elastic sheet 28, the egg can still move along the inclined direction of the circulating belt 2 and fall onto the elastic net 27 which does not carry eggs. Therefore, during the entire egg collecting process, the probability of collision between eggs can be effectively reduced.

[0059] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a cache platform 3 is fixedly installed on the chicken house, and the egg collecting trough 1 and the circulating belt 2 both extend to the cache platform 3. The cache platform 3 is used for tilting, and the inclination angle range of the cache platform 3 is 1-3 degrees. The cache platform 3 is set to assist the unstarted vertical conveyor to cache eggs. Since the inclination angle of the cache platform 3 is small, although the eggs have a tendency to roll on the cache platform 3, the rolling rate of the eggs is slow when the rolling distance is small and the descending angle is small, so the probability of the eggs breaking during the aggregation process is small.

[0060] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the guide members 12 are designed in multiple numbers, and the guide members 12 are all hingedly installed on the bottom of the chicken house. A telescopic bag 4 is fixedly installed on the guide member 12, and an air inlet pipe 41 and an air outlet pipe 42 are fixedly installed on the telescopic bag 4. The air inlet pipe 41 and the air outlet pipe 42 are both unidirectional guide pipes. The air outlet pipe 42 extends into the trough body 11, and the air outlet pipe 42 opens toward the partition plate 21.

[0061] The air outlet pipes 42 are all arranged obliquely, and the jetting direction of the air outlet pipes 42 is the same as the circulating rotation direction.

[0062] In order to further improve the automatic transportation effect of the circulating belt 2, a plurality of guide members 12 are provided in the present invention, and a telescopic bag 4 is installed under each of the guide members 12. When the chickens move in the chicken house, as the uniformity of the distribution of the chickens on the plurality of guide members 12 changes, the pressure on the guide members 12 will be in a continuously changing state. It should be noted that the telescopic bag 4 in the present invention is made of elastic material and has a certain shape. After the telescopic bag 4 is pressed, it has a tendency to automatically restore its shape under the action of its own material. Therefore, when used for a long time, when the pressing force on the telescopic bag 4 is in a changing state, the telescopic bag 4 continues to draw air through the air inlet pipe 41 and exhaust air through the air outlet pipe 42, and the air outlet pipe 42 extends into the trough body 11, and its opening faces the partition plate 21, and the jet direction is consistent with the running direction of the circulating belt 2. Therefore, the continuous jetting of the airflow gives the circulating belt 2 a directional movement force, and cooperates with the influence of the gravity of the eggs on the circulating belt 2, so that the difficulty of the directional movement of the circulating belt 2 is further reduced, thereby enhancing the convergence effect on the eggs.

[0063] like Fig.10 As shown, a method for collecting eggs in a chicken house, the method comprising the following steps:

[0064] S1: installing an egg collecting device on an intensive super-high-rise breeding chicken house, and raising chickens in the intensive super-high-rise breeding chicken house;

[0065] S2: After the chickens lay eggs, the eggs fall onto the circulating belt 2 under the guidance of the guide 12, and are finally restricted in the interception groove 26 by the elastic net 27 and the partition plate 21;

[0066] S3: When the chickens move, they squeeze the telescopic bag 4, and with the cooperation of the air inlet pipe 41 and the air outlet pipe 42, a directional airflow is sprayed toward the partition plate 21, and the circulating belt 2 moves under the action of the airflow and the gravity of the eggs;

[0067] S4: The eggs are transported by the circulating belt 2 and fall onto the buffering platform 3. Meanwhile, the vertical conveyor 13 is started regularly. The eggs are gradually transferred from the buffering platform 3 to the vertical conveyor 13 and transported to the next workstation by the vertical conveyor 13.
