Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of hatching equipment, in particular to a hatching tray with a large egg capacity of 162 eggs. Background Art

[0002] In hatcheries, large quantities of eggs are usually incubated. The eggs need to be placed in the incubation tray first, then placed on the incubation cart, and finally pushed into the incubator. Through system control, an incubation environment suitable for the development of eggs is created inside the incubator, including temperature, humidity, ventilation, egg turning, sanitation and disinfection, etc., to ultimately achieve the purpose of batch incubation. To achieve large-scale incubation of eggs, the incubation tray needs to meet the following four points: the outer frame has a large capacity, and a single tray can hold more eggs to reduce a large number of repetitive turntable work; the egg holding area has good compatibility, and can hold eggs of different sizes and weights at the same time, and protect the eggs from slipping, bumping and other accidents; the upper boss has high strength and long service life, and the incubation tray must have sufficient strength to place the eggs and is not easy to deform; the lower boss has good permeability, and the eggs need to transfer and exchange heat, moisture, gas and other substances with the surrounding environment during the incubation process, so the structure of the incubation tray has a direct impact on the incubation effect.

[0003] The capacity of existing incubation trays is generally around 30 to 60 eggs, and the number of eggs that can be placed is relatively small. In order to save costs, some small incubation trays are designed to be simple, using a ring with a short cross brace to fix the eggs. There is a certain degree of compatibility, but the contact between the eggs and the tray is only at a few fulcrums, which can easily cause damage and rupture of the eggs due to concentrated force. In addition, in order to improve the strength of the incubation tray, reinforcing ribs are blindly set, but the overall permeability is ignored, which results in different temperatures, humidity and gas exchange at different points, and the progress of embryonic development is not concentrated, which ultimately leads to uneven hatching results of eggs in the same incubation tray, so further improvement is needed. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the defects of the traditional hatching tray, the present invention provides a hatching tray with a large egg capacity of 162 eggs.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0016] Next, in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments, the present invention will be further described. It should be noted that, on the premise of no conflict, the following described embodiments or technical features can be arbitrarily combined with each other to form new embodiments.

[0017] Embodiment 1: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 6, A 162-egg-capacity hatching tray in this embodiment, including that the overall shape of the hatching tray is rectangular, consisting of an outer frame 1 and an egg-holding area 2. The whole hatching tray is in a hollow state. There is a hexagonal array 9 at the top of the egg-holding area 2, and a circular ring array 8 at the bottom of the egg-holding area 2. There are 4 arc-shaped claws 12 evenly distributed inside the circular ring array 8. At the corner position of each hexagon in the hexagonal array 9, there is a pillar 10 extending downward to connect with the circular ring array 8 below. There are 6 corresponding triangular ribs 11 connected to the outer periphery of the circular ring array 8. The egg-holding area 2 is divided by the upper hexagonal array 9 and the lower circular ring array 8; the egg-holding areas 2 are arranged closely. Excluding the waste areas at the edge positions of the tray body, there are 162 in total. There is an upper convex platform 3 on the top horizontal side of the outer frame 1, and a lower convex platform 4 is arranged around the bottom of the outer frame 1. The hatching trays can be stacked on top of each other; Among them, the inside of the hatching tray is divided into 162 egg-holding areas 2 by the upper honeycomb-shaped hexagonal array 9 and the lower circular ring array 8. Therefore, the upper part of each egg-holding area 2 is hexagonal, which can restrict the movement of the breeding eggs; the lower part is circular in shape, and there are 4 arc-shaped claws 12 evenly distributed on it, which can hold breeding eggs of different specifications from 40g to 75g. The outer frame 1 of the hatching tray is provided with an upper convex platform 3 and a lower convex platform 4, which is convenient for stacking and storing. The length, width and height dimensions of the hatching tray are 731*504*37mm. This tray can hold 162 breeding eggs, effectively reducing a large amount of repetitive turntable work; Furthermore, multiple transverse ventilation openings 6 are opened on both transverse sides of the outer frame 1. The transverse ventilation openings 6 are distributed on both sides of the transverse side, with 3 on each side; the center line of the transverse ventilation openings 6 coincides with the center line of the egg-holding area 2. A reinforcing rib 7 is arranged in the middle area of the transverse side of the outer frame 1. Multiple longitudinal ventilation openings 5 are opened on both longitudinal sides of the outer frame 1. The center line of the longitudinal ventilation openings 5 coincides with the boundary line of the egg-holding area 2; Among them, there are 6 ventilation holes on the transverse side of the outer frame 1 of the hatching tray and 9 ventilation holes on the longitudinal side, which is beneficial to the material exchange between the hatching tray and the external environment. The whole hatching tray is in a hollow state. Therefore, on the premise of ensuring the reliability and safety of the overall structure, it can also enable the breeding eggs to obtain relatively balanced air flow, heat and water vapor during the hatching process, thereby effectively improving the embryo hatching rate; a reinforcing rib is arranged in the middle area of the transverse side, which can improve the overall strength of the hatching tray.

[0018] Furthermore, the hexagonal array 9 is located at the upper part of the hatching tray, and the top of the hexagonal array 9 is flush with the top of the outer frame 1; the hexagonal array 9 is overall honeycomb-shaped, and its internal contour is a regular hexagon; a groove 13 is provided in the middle of the upper edge of the hexagonal array 9, and the wall at the center of the groove 13 is the thinnest. The circular ring array 8 is located at the lower part of the hexagonal array 9. The top of the circular ring array 8 is 10 mm lower than the bottom edge of the hexagonal array 9, and the bottom of the circular ring array 8 is 8 mm higher than the bottom of the outer frame 1. The circular ring array 8 is located in the middle of the hatching tray; the diameter of the circular ring array 8 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the largest inscribed circle of the hexagonal array 9, and the center of each circular ring array 8 is directly below the center of the upper hexagonal array 9. The arrangement of the circular ring array 8 is consistent with the arrangement of the hexagonal array 9; Among them, the egg holding area 2 inside the hatching tray adopts an upper and lower double-layer stacked structure. Specifically, the upper layer adopts a honeycomb-shaped hexagonal array 9 layout, which greatly improves the utilization rate of the plane space; each hexagonal structure is used to limit the movement range of the large end of the hatching egg to prevent risks such as slipping and bumping; and the groove 13 design on the upper edge can increase the contact area between the hatching tray and the hatching egg, and at the same time increase the permeability of the whole tray; the lower circular ring array 8 has the same layout as the upper hexagonal array 9, and the center of the circular ring coincides with the center of the hexagon. In this way, the lower circular ring can fix the position of the small end of the hatching egg; in addition, the 4 arc-shaped trapezoidal claws 12 on the circular ring can increase the contact area with the hatching egg, making the hatching egg more firm. At the same time, this upper-large-lower-small arc-shaped structure enables the egg holding area 2 to hold hatching eggs of different specifications from 40 g to 75 g, so the compatibility is better; Figure 6 Two hatching eggs placed in the hatching tray are shown. When the hatching tray is placed horizontally, there is still a 1.4 mm gap between the 40 g egg and the bottom edge of the tray Furthermore, the claw 12 includes a rounded corner 1201 and a contact surface 1202. The claw 12 is an arc-shaped isosceles trapezoid, and the bottom of the claw 12 is flush with the bottom edge of the circular ring array 8; a rounded corner 1201 is provided at the top of the claw 12, and the overall height of the rounded corner 1201 is slightly higher than the upper edge of the circular ring array 8; the thickness of the claw 12 gradually thins from the bottom to the top. The outermost side of the hexagonal array 9 is connected to the outer frame 1, and the side of the circular ring array 8 is also connected to the outer frame 1; the hexagonal array 9 and the circular ring array 8 are stacked up and down, and the centers coincide; two adjacent hexagonal arrays 9 share two groups of 10 struts and triangular ribs 11, and three adjacent circular ring arrays 8 share one group of struts 10 and triangular ribs 11; the space between the struts 10 is hollow; Among them, to ensure the overall strength of the hatching tray, the hexagonal array 9 and the circular ring array 8 are connected by struts 10. The positions of the struts 10 are exactly at the 6 corner points of each hexagon, that is, every 3 hexagons share one strut, which can ensure the average distribution of the pressure on the hatching eggs and the coordination of the overall structure. Similarly, every 3 circular rings share one strut at the bottom. Therefore, each of the 3 circular rings needs to lead out connecting ribs to be connected to the strut 10, which is called the triangular rib 11. The hexagonal array 9 and the circular ring array 8 are connected by the strut 10 plus the triangular rib 11, which not only ensures the connection strength of each egg holding area 2 inside, but also creates a hollow space in the horizontal direction inside the egg tray, enabling each egg holding area 2 to obtain balanced air flow, heat, and water vapor, thus effectively improving the hatching effect of the hatching eggs. Working principle: The egg holding areas 2 inside the hatching tray adopt an upper and lower double-layer stacked structure. Specifically, the upper layer adopts a honeycomb-like hexagonal array 9 layout, which greatly improves the utilization rate of the planar space. Each hexagonal structure is used to limit the movement range of the large end of the hatching egg to prevent dangers such as slipping and bumping. Moreover, the groove 13 design on the upper edge can increase the contact area between the hatching tray and the hatching eggs, and at the same time increase the permeability of the whole tray. The inside of the hatching tray is divided into 162 egg holding areas 2 by the upper honeycomb-like hexagonal array 9 and the lower circular ring array 8, which can hold 162 hatching eggs, effectively reducing a large amount of repetitive turntable work. The outer frame 1 of the hatching tray is provided with an upper convex platform 3 and a lower convex platform 4, which is convenient for stacking and storing.

[0019] The above embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention belong to the scope of protection required by the present invention.
