[0002] Layers are high-quality chicken breeds that have been carefully selected and strictly managed. Their core mission is to produce high-quality eggs efficiently and stably. These chicken breeds usually have excellent genetic advantages, such as strong physique, excellent adaptability and strong disease resistance, as well as impressively high egg production rate and excellent egg quality. In the agricultural production system, laying hens are not only economic animals with significant economic benefits, but also an indispensable source of high-quality protein in the daily diet of consumers. By using advanced feeding and management techniques and scientific nutritional ratio programs, we can maximize the production potential of laying hens and improve breeding efficiency, thereby ensuring a stable supply of eggs in the market and meeting the continuous demand of consumers for egg quality and quantity.

[0003] However, in the actual operation of many laying hen houses, the collection of eggs still relies heavily on manual operation. This traditional collection method not only greatly increases labor costs, but also easily causes damage to eggs during the collection process due to human negligence or improper operation, which in turn has an adverse effect on the quality and market value of eggs. Therefore, we propose a new type of automated flat-laying laying hen house. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides an automated flat-laying egg house, which solves the problems of high labor costs and easy damage to eggs due to improper operation, affecting quality and market value caused by the traditional manual collection method.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an automated flat-laying chicken house, comprising a base and a chicken cage fixedly installed on the top of the base, wherein an egg picking mechanism is provided on the chicken cage.

[0006] The egg picking mechanism includes an egg guiding assembly and an egg guiding assembly.

[0007] The egg attracting assembly comprises a plurality of egg dropping holes opened at the bottom of the inner cavity of the chicken cage, a laying hen nest adapted to the egg dropping holes is fixedly installed just above the egg dropping holes, and a plurality of egg attracting devices distributed in a circumferential shape are fixedly installed inside the laying hen nest.

[0008] The egg guide assembly comprises a limit frame fixedly mounted on the bottom of the chicken cage and located below the egg drop hole, an inner wall of the limit frame is fixedly mounted with an inclined guide plate, and a pad adapted to the inclined guide plate is fixedly mounted on the inclined guide plate.

[0009] Preferably, the diameter of the egg-dropping hole is greater than the transverse length of the egg.

[0010] Preferably, the laying hen nest is in a cone shape as a whole.

[0011] Preferably, some of the egg-guiding elements use ping-pong balls instead of real eggs.

[0012] Preferably, the pad is made of soft rubber material.

[0013] Preferably, an egg collecting box is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the base, and a sponge plate is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the inner cavity of the egg collecting box.

[0014] Preferably, a water supply mechanism is provided on the left side of the top of the chicken cage, a water supply box is fixedly installed on the left side of the top of the water supply mechanism, a water pump connected to the inner cavity of the water supply box is fixedly installed on the water supply box, a water guide elbow is fixedly installed on the output end of the water pump, and a water feeding trough fixedly connected to the chicken cage is fixedly installed on the water outlet end of the water guide elbow.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. The present invention is provided with an egg-guiding assembly. The egg-guiding assembly includes a plurality of egg-dropping holes provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the chicken cage 2. The design of these egg-dropping holes can conveniently cause eggs to drop into the egg collection box below, thereby realizing automatic collection of eggs and greatly reducing labor costs. A laying hen nest adapted for dropping eggs is fixedly installed just above the egg-dropping hole, providing a comfortable and suitable egg-laying environment for laying hens. A plurality of circularly distributed egg-guiding eggs are fixedly installed on the inner side of the laying hen nest. These egg-guiding eggs can not only induce the hens to think that this is a suitable place for laying eggs, stimulate their desire to lay eggs, and make the hens mistake the egg-guiding eggs for their own eggs and start laying eggs, but also can serve as a clear marking point for the hens to lay eggs, helping the hens with relatively low memory to remember and return to the same place to lay eggs. This design greatly improves the efficiency of egg collection, while avoiding damage to eggs caused by human negligence or improper operation, and ensuring the quality and market value of eggs.

[0036] Embodiment 1:

[0037] See also Figure 1-5 Structural schematic diagram, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0038] An automated flat-laying laying hen house comprises a base 1 and a chicken cage 2 fixedly mounted on the top of the base 1 , wherein the chicken cage 2 is provided with an egg picking mechanism 3.

[0039] The egg picking mechanism 3 includes an egg guiding component 31 and an egg guiding component 32. The egg guiding component 31 can guide the laying hen to a designated position to lay eggs and provide a comfortable egg-laying environment for the laying hen. The egg guiding component 32 guides the eggs laid by the laying hen to the egg collecting box 4 for collection, thereby avoiding the manual operation of picking up the eggs step by step.

[0040] The egg-leading assembly 31 includes several egg-dropping holes 311 provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the chicken cage 2. The egg-dropping holes 311 can facilitate the eggs to fall into the egg collection box 4 below. A laying hen nest 312 adapted to the egg-dropping holes 311 is fixedly installed directly above the egg-dropping holes 311, providing a necessary environment for laying hens to lay eggs. Several egg-leading 313 distributed in a circumferential shape are fixedly installed on the inner side of the laying hen nest 312. Placing the egg-leading 313 can induce the hen to think that this is a suitable place for laying eggs, thereby stimulating its desire to lay eggs. The hen may mistake the egg-leading for laying eggs by itself, and thus start laying eggs. Furthermore, the egg-leading 313 can also serve as a marking point for the hen to lay eggs, so that the hen knows where to lay eggs. Since the IQ of chickens is relatively low, they may forget the place where they laid eggs before. Placing the egg-leading 313 can help them remember and return to the same place to lay eggs, laying the foundation for the collection of subsequent eggs.

[0041] The egg guide assembly 32 includes a limit frame 321 fixedly installed at the bottom of the chicken cage 2 and located below the egg dropping hole 311, which can limit the range of eggs falling from the egg dropping hole 311. The inner wall of the limit frame 321 is fixedly installed with an inclined guide plate 322, which can prevent the eggs from falling directly vertically and generating a large amount of energy. The inclined guide plate 322 effectively reduces the energy of the chicken during the falling process and reduces the possibility of egg damage. A pad 323 adapted to the inclined guide plate 322 is fixedly installed on the inclined guide plate 322, and the pad 323 can provide a soft landing environment for the eggs.

[0042] The diameter of the egg dropping hole 311 is larger than the horizontal length of the egg, so that the egg can fall from the egg dropping hole 311 easily and avoid the egg getting stuck in the egg dropping hole 311 .

[0043] The laying hen nest 312 is in a cone shape as a whole, which is conducive to eggs falling directly from the egg dropping hole 311.

[0044] Some egg attractors 313 use ping-pong balls instead of real eggs. These substitutes not only have the function of attracting eggs, but also avoid the risk of being stepped on by hens.

[0045] The pad 323 is made of soft rubber material, which can further buffer the impact force generated when the egg falls from the egg dropping hole 311 to the inclined guide plate 322 .

[0046] The inner cavity of the base 1 is slidably connected to an egg collecting box 4, which can facilitate the direct collection of eggs laid by laying hens. A sponge plate is fixedly installed on the bottom of the inner cavity of the egg collecting box 4, which can buffer the energy generated by the eggs sliding from the egg guide assembly 32 into the egg collecting box 4 to a certain extent, thereby reducing the possibility of egg breakage.

[0047] An LED light group 7 is fixedly installed on the top of the inner cavity of the chicken cage 2. The illumination of the LED light group 7 can assist laying hens in laying eggs. It promotes the breeding activities of laying hens and improves the egg production rate by providing a stable and adjustable lighting environment, simulating optimal lighting conditions, and reducing stress reactions.

[0048] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: when the laying hen is ready to lay eggs, the laying hen nest 312 will provide an ideal egg-laying environment for it. At the same time, the egg guide 313 set in the laying hen nest 312 will induce the laying hen to go there to lay eggs. At the same time, the LED light group 7 provides a stable and adjustable lighting environment, simulates the optimal lighting conditions, and reduces stress reactions, thereby promoting the breeding activities of laying hens and improving the egg production rate. Once the egg is laid, it will fall smoothly from the egg drop hole 311 into the limit frame 321 below. Subsequently, the inclined guide plate 322 will guide the egg to slide downward along its inclined surface, and finally fall safely into the egg collection box 4. This process is fully automated, and there is no need to manually pick up eggs one by one. Therefore, the device not only significantly reduces labor costs, but also effectively avoids the problem of egg breakage caused by human factors, thereby ensuring the quality of the eggs.

[0049] Embodiment 2:

[0050] Based on the specific embodiment 1, the difference of this embodiment is that:

[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a water supply mechanism 5 is provided on the left side of the top of the chicken cage 2, and a water supply box 51 is fixedly installed on the left side of the top of the water supply mechanism 5 to provide necessary water for the chickens in the chicken cage 2. A water pump 52 connected to the inner cavity of the water supply box 51 is fixedly installed on the water supply box 51 to provide power for pumping water, and water is pumped from the water supply box 51 to the water feeding trough 54. A water guide elbow 53 is fixedly installed on the output end of the water pump 52, and the water guide elbow 53 can transport water. The water outlet end of the water guide elbow 53 is fixedly installed with a water feeding trough 54 fixedly connected to the chicken cage 2.

[0052] The water in the water supply tank 51 is pumped out by a water pump 52 and smoothly transported through a water guide elbow 53, and finally the water is introduced into a water feeding trough 54 for the laying hens to drink.

[0053] Embodiment three:

[0054] Based on the specific embodiment 1, the difference of this embodiment is that:

[0055] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a food supply mechanism 6 is provided on the right side of the top of the chicken cage 2. The food supply mechanism 6 includes a food supply box 61 fixedly installed on the right side of the top of the chicken cage 2 to provide necessary food for laying hens. A valve 62 is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom of the food supply box 61, which can control the on and off of the food in the inner cavity of the food supply box 61. A food discharge pipe 63 is fixedly installed at the output end of the valve 62, which can transport the food. A food feeding trough 64 fixedly installed on the chicken cage 2 is provided directly below the food discharge pipe 63.

[0056] By opening the valve 62, the grain inside the grain supply box 61 falls smoothly into the grain feeding trough 64 below through the grain discharge pipe 63 under the action of gravity, and is available for the laying hens to eat at any time.

[0057] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the technical features of the present invention are not limited thereto. Any simple changes, equivalent replacements or modifications made based on the present invention to solve basically the same technical problems and achieve basically the same technical effects are all included in the protection scope of the present invention.
