Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of care, and in particular to an incubation device and a method for improving the hatching rate of turtles. Background Art

[0002] The turtle incubator is a device specifically designed to provide a suitable environment for hatching turtle eggs. It ensures that the turtle eggs are hatched in a stable environment by simulating natural hatching conditions such as temperature, humidity and sand and stone covering.

[0003] In the prior art, a Chinese patent document with publication number CN219660715U proposes an incubation device that can improve the hatching rate of Chinese grass tortoises. The method firstly lays a layer of sand on a sandbag, places the tortoise eggs with the spotted side facing upward, and then lays another layer of sand. The heat-insulating cover is closed. When spraying water, the motor drives gear one to rotate, gear one and gear two are meshed for transmission, gear two drives the fixed seat to rotate, and gear two is slidably connected with the fixed plate to realize the rotation of the fixed seat. During the water spraying process, the rotation ensures uniform spraying. The temperature and humidity sensor on the support plate monitors the temperature and humidity, controls the operation of the water pump and the heating plate, and ensures the appropriate temperature and humidity in the incubation device. When the tortoise eggs need to be checked, the electric telescopic rod is raised, the support plate holds up the tortoise eggs, and the LED cold light is irradiated to distinguish whether the hatching fails, thereby preventing hatching failure. If the failed turtle eggs are not handled in time, bacteria will breed and affect other turtle eggs. In order to achieve stable and efficient removal of the turtle eggs that failed to hatch, but consistent with the traditional method, sand is also an indispensable material when artificially incubating turtle eggs. When preparing for hatching, it is usually necessary to spread damp sand or special vermiculite on the bottom of the box. The thickness of the laying is generally 8 to 10 centimeters. Then the turtle eggs are placed face up in the laid sand. Generally, the turtle eggs are buried three-quarters of the sand. The operation process of this laying method is relatively complicated, and the sand after each hatching needs to be recovered for disinfection. The sand at the bottom of the incubator is usually difficult to collect and remove, affecting the efficiency of the next hatching. Therefore, the present application discloses an incubation device and a hatching method that can improve the hatching rate of turtles, to facilitate the laying of sand before turtle hatching and the cleaning of the sand after hatching.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, a hatching device capable of improving the hatching rate of turtles comprises an incubator 1, one side of the incubator 1 is set to be a transparent material, a top plate 32 is fixedly installed on the top of the incubator 1, a fixing ring 2 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the incubator 1, a plurality of supporting plates 3 are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the fixing ring 2, a positioning collar 10 is fixedly installed on all four sides of the fixing ring 2, a positioning column 11 is slidably installed inside the positioning collar 10, a supporting ring 15 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the plurality of positioning columns 11, and a first reset spring 12 is sleeved on the outer surface of the positioning column 11; a hatching assembly, the hatching assembly is arranged on the supporting ring 15, the hatching assembly comprises a placing module and a supporting module, the placing module is used to place turtle eggs, and the supporting module is used to support the placing module for hatching; an opening and closing assembly, the opening and closing assembly is arranged at the middle part of the top plate 32, and the opening and closing assembly is used to open or close the top of the incubator 1; a dredging assembly, the dredging assembly is arranged at the lower end of the hatching assembly, and the dredging assembly is used to discharge sand and gravel retained in the hatching assembly after hatching;

[0041] When the tortoise eggs need to be hatched, the operator first opens the top of the incubator 1 through the opening and closing assembly, and places the tortoise eggs in the placement module of the incubator assembly. Then, the incubator assembly is firmly supported on the supporting ring 15 through the cooperation of the positioning ring 10, the positioning column 11 and the return spring, so that the tortoise eggs are at a suitable height and position and obtain stable support. After that, the operator adds the sand and stones required for hatching on top of the placed tortoise eggs, covering the supporting module and a part of the placement module to create a natural environment suitable for hatching the tortoise eggs. During the entire incubation process, the side of the incubator 1 made of transparent material allows the operator to monitor the hatching progress of the tortoise eggs in real time through the observation window, without the need to frequently open the incubator 1, thereby maintaining a constant temperature and humidity in the box and avoiding excessive interference from the environment. After the incubation process is completed, the operator adjusts the top of the incubator 1 through the opening and closing assembly again, and the dredging assembly will automatically start to discharge the sand and stones and other debris remaining after hatching out of the incubator 1, keeping the incubation environment clean and tidy and ready for the next round of hatching operations.

[0042] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Fig.10 As shown, the supporting module includes a storage cylinder 16 fixedly mounted on the supporting ring 15 and a storage bucket 19 fixedly mounted below the supporting ring 15, the storage bucket 19 is set in a sunken type, a lifting ring 17 is movably mounted inside the storage cylinder 16, a plurality of second reset springs 20 are arranged between the bottom surface of the lifting ring 17 and the top surface of the supporting ring 15, the placement module includes a placement plate 21 fixedly mounted on the lifting ring 17, and a plurality of through holes 22 are opened through the middle of the placement plate 21, a plurality of turtle eggs to be hatched are placed above the placement plate 21, a guide plate 18 is also fixedly connected to the inner side of the lifting ring 17, and the guide plate 18 is set to be wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and the guide plate 18 is set to be made of rubber material, and the guide plate 18 is used to guide sand and gravel;

[0043] When the turtle eggs need to be hatched, the operator first places the turtle eggs on the placement board 21 of the placement module, and then pours in sand and gravel. The sand and gravel will enter the storage cylinder 16 and storage bucket 19 below through the through holes 22 on the placement board 21. Some of the sand and gravel will accumulate around the placement board 21. In this process, the sand and gravel in the storage bucket 19 and the storage cylinder 16 play two roles: on the one hand, they serve as the bottom of the turtle eggs and provide a stable foundation; on the other hand, the weight of the sand and gravel is used to support the turtle eggs and play a load-bearing role, ensuring that the turtle eggs are in a stable hatching environment. As the operator continues to pour in sand and gravel, the sand and gravel gradually cover the placement board 21 and the turtle eggs. At this time, the placement board 21 is pressed and moves downward. During the incubation process, the elasticity of the second return spring 20 provides soft support, so that the placement plate 21 can maintain a certain pressure and stability, and the return spring can absorb possible slight vibrations from the outside world to prevent impact or movement of the turtle eggs. During the entire incubation process, the second return spring 20 continuously adjusts the height of the lifting ring 17 to ensure that the supporting module always firmly supports the turtle eggs, and makes slight flexible adjustments when necessary to prevent the turtle eggs from being vibrated or damaged, thereby providing an ideal and stable incubation environment for the turtle eggs. This design can effectively ensure the safety and success rate of incubation.

[0044] like Figure 3 , Figure 7 As shown, a movable ring 8 is rotatably installed on the middle part of the top of the fixed ring 2, a threaded sleeve 26 is provided on one side of the bottom of the storage bucket 19, a mounting rod 23 is movably installed on one side below the storage bucket 19, a threaded column 29 is provided on the top of the mounting rod 23 and is threadedly connected with the threaded sleeve 26, a worm 24 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting rod 23, a plurality of inclined teeth 25 meshing with the worm 24 are provided on the inner side of the movable ring 8, a plurality of fixed blocks 4 are arranged circumferentially above the fixed ring 2, a slide groove 5 is provided above the fixed blocks 4, a slider 6 is slidably installed on the slide groove 5, a plurality of linkage rods 9 are rotatably installed on the outer circumference of the movable ring 8, the other ends of the plurality of linkage rods 9 are respectively rotatably connected with the bottoms of the plurality of sliders 6, a lifting block 7 is fixedly installed on the top of the slider 6, and the lifting block 7 is arranged in an arc shape;

[0045] When the operator pours sand and gravel into the incubator 1, the sand and gravel gradually enter the storage bucket 19 and the storage cylinder 16. As the weight of the sand and gravel increases, the storage bucket 19 begins to sink, driving the mounting rod 23 to move downward. The mounting rod 23 is connected to the threaded sleeve 26 through the threaded column 29, further pushing the worm 24 to move downward. The worm 24 engages with the inclined teeth 25 on the inner side of the movable ring 8, and the rotating worm 24 causes the movable ring 8 to rotate accordingly. At this time, the worm 24 does not rotate during the descent process because it can easily drive the movable ring 8 to rotate. As the movable ring 8 rotates, the linkage rod 9 begins to gradually push the slider 6 to slide in the slide groove 5. The slider 6 simultaneously drives the lifting block 7 on the top. The lifting block 7 is designed in an arc shape, which can evenly support the sand and gravel and turtle eggs to prevent the storage bucket 19 from sinking too much due to excessive weight. During the lifting process, the slider 6 and the lifting block 7 gradually approach the storage bucket 19 as the weight of the sand and gravel increases, ensuring that the turtle eggs are at an appropriate height and avoid sinking too deep, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the hatching process.

[0046] like Figure 3 , Fig. 9 As shown, the opening and closing assembly includes a fixed collar 33 fixedly mounted in the middle of the top plate 32 and a movable collar 34 rotatably mounted below the fixed collar 33. A plurality of arc-shaped rods 35 are rotatably mounted above the movable collar 34, and a plurality of opening and closing plates 36 are rotatably mounted below the fixed collar 33. The plurality of arc-shaped rods 35 are rotatably connected to the plurality of opening and closing plates 36 respectively. A plurality of limiting grooves 38 are arranged circumferentially on the outer circumference of the movable collar 34, and a plurality of sliding columns 37 slidably mounted inside the limiting grooves 38 are fixedly mounted at the bottom of the fixed collar 33. The sliding column 37 and the limiting groove 38 are used to limit the opening and closing angle of the opening and closing plate 36. Two extension rods 39 are fixedly installed on both sides of the lower side of the movable ring 8. The other side of the top surface of the two extension rods 39 is fixedly installed with a connecting rod 40. The two sides of the movable collar 34 are also fixedly installed with extension plates 41. The top surface of the connecting rod 40 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the extension plate 41. An arc groove 42 is also opened on one side of the top surface of the fixed collar 33. An adjustment rod 43 is arranged on one side of the top surface of the movable collar 34. The adjustment rod 43 passes through the arc groove 42.

[0047] When the sand and stones are gradually filled into the incubator 1, the weight of the sand and stones drives the movable ring 8 to start rotating. When the movable ring 8 rotates, the extension rod 39 fixedly installed under the movable ring 8 also rotates accordingly. The extension rod 39 transmits force to the movable ring 34 through the connecting rod 40, so that the movable ring 34 rotates synchronously. As the movable ring 34 rotates, the arc rod 35 also moves accordingly, and drives the opening and closing plate 36 to rotate. The opening and closing plate 36 begins to gradually close under the action of the arc rod 35, thereby covering the opening at the top of the incubator 1. The sliding column 37 moves in the limiting groove 38 to ensure that the opening and closing angle of the opening and closing plate 36 is limited, and there will be no excessive opening or incomplete closing. When the sand and stones are filled and reach the preset amount, the opening and closing plate 36 is just closed to seal the upper opening to ensure that the incubation environment is sealed. During this process, if it is necessary to fine-tune the position or angle of the opening and closing plate 36, the operator can manually adjust the position of the movable ring 34 through the adjusting rod 43 to make the opening and closing plate 36 accurately adjusted to ensure the smoothness and accuracy of the opening and closing function.

[0048] like Figure 4 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the dredging assembly includes a dredging hole 27 opened on the other side of the bottom end of the storage bucket 19, and a sliding groove is also opened on the inner side of the dredging hole 27 near the threaded sleeve 26, and a blocking plate 30 is slidably installed inside the sliding groove. A gear 28 is also sleeved on the middle part of the mounting rod 23, and a toothed plate 31 is fixedly connected to one side of the blocking plate 30, and the toothed plate 31 is meshed with the gear 28;

[0049] After the hatching is completed, the operator rotates the adjustment rod 43 to drive the movable ring 34 to reset. During the resetting process, due to the heavy weight of the sand and stones, the extension rod 39 is driven in the reverse direction to rotate, thereby driving the worm 24 to rotate in the reverse direction. During this process, the worm 24 does not drive the upper storage bin and the storage cylinder 16 to move upward, but drives the installation rod 23 to rotate through the rotation of the worm 24. The rotation of the installation rod 23 drives the gear 28 in the middle to rotate synchronously. The gear 28 is meshed with the tooth plate 31. The rotation of the gear 28 causes the tooth plate 31 to start moving. The movement of the tooth plate 31 then pushes the blocking plate 30 in the sliding groove. Sliding, when the blocking plate 30 completely slides into the sliding groove, the dredging hole 27 is opened, and sand and gravel begin to flow out of the dredging hole 27. As the sand and gravel are gradually discharged, the weight of the storage bucket 19 and the storage cylinder 16 is reduced, and the first reset spring 12 gradually pushes the system upward to reset the entire incubation device. At the same time, the opening and closing assembly automatically opens after the weight is reduced, which further facilitates the operator to clean or check the incubator 1, thereby realizing the automatic discharge of sand and gravel after hatching, the smooth reset of the system and the automatic opening of the opening and closing assembly, ensuring the cleaning of the incubator 1 and the ease of operation, greatly improving the automation and efficiency of the equipment.

[0050] The present invention also discloses a hatching method capable of improving the hatching rate of turtles, which adopts the hatching device for improving the hatching rate of turtles, and comprises the following steps:

[0051] S1: The operator opens the top of the incubator 1 through the opening and closing assembly, and places the tortoise egg in the placement module of the incubation assembly. The incubation assembly firmly supports the tortoise egg through the positioning ring 10, the positioning column 11 and the return spring to ensure that it is in a suitable position and height;

[0052] S2: The operator pours the sand and gravel needed for hatching, covering the eggs and part of the supporting module to create a natural environment suitable for hatching;

[0053] S3: During the incubation process, the operator observes the incubation progress through the transparent side, avoids opening the incubator 1 frequently, and ensures that the internal temperature and humidity are stable;

[0054] S4: After the hatching is completed, the operator adjusts the top of the hatching box 1 again through the opening and closing component, and the dredging component is automatically started to discharge the remaining sand and debris from the hatching box 1 to keep the box clean and prepare for the next round of hatching operation;

[0055] Compared with the prior art, the top of the incubator box 1 can be opened and closed conveniently and quickly through the opening and closing component, reducing external interference with the incubation environment and ensuring the stability of the temperature and humidity in the box. The cooperation of the positioning ring 10, the positioning column 11 and the return spring can firmly support the turtle eggs and ensure their accurate position and height during the incubation process, reducing the risk of hatching failure caused by vibration or deviation. The dredging component automatically handles sand and debris after hatching, keeps the incubator box 1 clean, reduces the difficulty of manual operation and improves work efficiency, so that the device can provide more stable, accurate and efficient incubation conditions for turtle eggs and significantly improve the hatching success rate.
