Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of egg collection, specifically to a lifting egg-collecting machine. Background Technology

[0002] With advancements in livestock technology, tiered cage systems are increasingly widely used in poultry farming. Each tiered cage house occupies a small area but can house a large number of chickens, thus reducing construction and management costs. Tiered cage houses now offer automated management, watering, feeding, egg collection, and manure removal.

[0003] According to Chinese Patent CN119631923A, a method for collecting eggs in a poultry house is disclosed, comprising an egg collection trough and a vertical conveyor installed on an intensive high-rise poultry house. The egg collection trough consists of a trough body and guide members, which are fixedly connected. The trough body is a semi-circular plate structure, and the guide members are installed at an angle at the bottom of the poultry house to guide the eggs to roll towards the trough body. The vertical conveyor is conductively connected to the egg collection trough and is a plate chain conveyor with curved claws, used for vertically lifting and transporting the eggs.

[0004] In the above scheme, the vertical conveyor is used to transport the eggs vertically, which has the following disadvantages: the eggs first enter the rear of the vertical conveyor, and the conveyor chain rotates vertically, causing the eggs to flip from the top of the vertical conveyor to the front of the vertical conveyor. There is a risk that the eggs will collide and break during the flipping process at the top. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lifting egg-collecting machine to solve the problem that eggs collide and break during the flipping process when they are moved from the top of a vertical conveyor to the front of the vertical conveyor.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a lifting egg-collecting machine, including a horizontal frame, and further comprising:

[0007] A conveyor unit, installed within a crossbeam, is used to convey eggs laterally.

[0008] The first guide plate, the second guide plate, and the third guide plate are all located above the conveying section. The first guide plate, the second guide plate, and the third guide plate are arranged sequentially from left to right, and the distance from the front end of the first guide plate, the second guide plate, and the third guide plate to the rear wall of the crossbeam decreases sequentially.

[0009] Preferred options also include:

[0010] The first baffle, the second baffle, and the third baffle are all located above the conveying section, and the front ends of the first baffle, the second baffle, and the third baffle are respectively located in front of the first guide plate, the second guide plate, and the third guide plate.

[0011] Preferred options also include:

[0012] Three mounting boxes are slidably disposed on the rear side of the cross frame, and the three mounting boxes are arranged sequentially along the length of the cross frame;

[0013] The rear ends of the first guide plate, the second guide plate, and the third guide plate are respectively fixedly connected to the three mounting boxes;

[0014] The rear ends of the first, second, and third baffles are fixedly connected to the three mounting boxes, respectively.

[0015] Preferably, the conveying unit includes:

[0016] Multiple support rods are installed in the cross frame via a first chain, and the multiple support rods are arranged sequentially along the length of the cross frame.

[0017] The first support groove, the second support groove, and the third support groove are provided on each of the support rods. The first support groove, the second support groove, and the third support groove correspond to the front end of the first guide plate, the second guide plate, and the third guide plate, respectively.

[0018] Preferred options also include:

[0019] The L-shaped support is fixed to the rear wall of the cross frame, and the three mounting boxes are slidably arranged inside the L-shaped support.

[0020] Preferred options also include:

[0021] Three air inlets are provided, which are respectively located at the front ends of the first baffle, the second baffle, and the third baffle, and are respectively located at the front ends of the first guide plate, the second guide plate, and the third guide plate.

[0022] Preferred options also include:

[0023] The size of the three air inlets on the first, second, and third baffles increases sequentially.

[0024] Preferred options also include:

[0025] The air duct is located inside the L-shaped support, and all three mounting boxes are slidably sealed with the air duct.

[0026] Three air guide holes are provided, all of which are located on the air guide pipe and are connected to the inner cavities of the three mounting boxes respectively.

[0027] The three air passages are respectively opened inside the first baffle, the second baffle and the third baffle. The rear ends of the three air passages are respectively connected to the inner cavities of the three mounting boxes, and the front ends of the three air passages are respectively connected to the three air inlets.

[0028] Preferred options also include:

[0029] Three conveyor belts, the output ends of which are respectively connected to the rear ends of the first guide plate, the second guide plate and the third guide plate.

[0030] Preferred options also include:

[0031] The second chain is vertically mounted inside the frame via a sprocket, and its front side is fixedly connected to the crossbar via a connecting plate.

[0032] Compared with existing technologies, the lifting egg-collecting machine that adopts the above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0033] First, the eggs on the three shelves of the chicken coop are conveyed by three conveyor belts to the first, second, and third guide plates, respectively. This allows the eggs to be transported to a laterally moving conveyor section, replacing the vertical conveyor used in existing technologies. Horizontal conveying of eggs prevents them from flipping at the top, thus ensuring their integrity. Furthermore, because the distance from the front end of the first, second, and third guide plates to the rear wall of the crossbeam decreases sequentially, the eggs are distributed evenly along the width of the conveyor section, further preventing collisions and breakage during transport, thus improving the safety of the eggs during transport.

[0034] The second and third rows of eggs roll forward on the first guide plate, the second guide plate, and the third guide plate, respectively. The eggs on the first guide plate are stopped by the front end of the first baffle after rolling onto the conveyor section. The eggs on the second guide plate are stopped by the front end of the second baffle after rolling onto the conveyor section. The eggs on the third guide plate are stopped by the front end of the third baffle after rolling onto the conveyor section. In other words, the first baffle, the second baffle, and the third baffle stop the eggs at predetermined positions on the conveyor section, preventing the eggs from continuing to roll forward and hitting the front end of the crossbeam, thus improving the safety of the eggs.

[0035] Third, as the egg rolls forward on the first, second, and third guide plates, airflow is simultaneously introduced through the three air inlets, directing the airflow towards the egg to appropriately reduce its rolling speed and prevent it from forcefully impacting the front ends of the first, second, and third baffles, thus improving egg integrity. It should be noted that because the lengths of the first, second, and third guide plates decrease sequentially, the rolling speed of the egg at their front ends increases sequentially. Therefore, the dimensions of the three air inlets on the first, second, and third baffles are designed to increase sequentially, resulting in sequentially increased air pressure at the three inlets. This accommodates the different rolling speeds of the egg at the front ends of the first, second, and third guide plates, ensuring that the egg rolls stably into the first, second, and third support grooves, thereby improving egg safety.

Detailed Implementation

[0042] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a lifting egg-collecting machine includes a horizontal frame 31, and also includes:

[0044] A conveying unit, which is installed inside the cross frame 31, is used to convey eggs laterally;

[0045] The first guide plate 52, the second guide plate 54, and the third guide plate 56 are all located above the conveying section. The first guide plate 52, the second guide plate 54, and the third guide plate 56 are arranged from left to right. The distance from the front end of the first guide plate 52, the second guide plate 54, and the third guide plate 56 to the rear wall of the cross frame 31 decreases sequentially.

[0046] Three conveyor belts 4, the output ends of which are respectively connected to the rear ends of the first guide plate 52, the second guide plate 54 and the third guide plate 56.

[0047] In operation, eggs on the three shelves of the chicken coop are conveyed by three conveyor belts 4 to the first guide plate 52, the second guide plate 54, and the third guide plate 56, respectively. This allows the eggs to be transported to the laterally moving conveyor section, replacing the vertical conveyor of existing technology. Horizontal conveying of eggs prevents them from flipping at the top, thus ensuring their integrity. Furthermore, because the distances from the front ends of the first guide plate 52, the second guide plate 54, and the third guide plate 56 to the rear wall of the crossbeam 31 decrease sequentially, the eggs are distributed evenly along the width of the conveyor section, further preventing collisions and breakage during transport, thus improving the safety of the eggs during transport.

[0048] like Figures 2-4 As shown, it also includes:

[0049] The first baffle 53, the second baffle 55, and the third baffle 57 are all located above the conveying section, and the front ends of the first baffle 53, the second baffle 55, and the third baffle 57 are respectively located in front of the first guide plate 52, the second guide plate 54, and the third guide plate 56.

[0050] In use, the three rows of eggs roll forward on the first guide plate 52, the second guide plate 54, and the third guide plate 56, respectively. The eggs on the first guide plate 52 are stopped by the front end of the first baffle 53 after rolling onto the conveyor section. The eggs on the second guide plate 54 are stopped by the front end of the second baffle 55 after rolling onto the conveyor section. The eggs on the third guide plate 56 are stopped by the front end of the third baffle 57 after rolling onto the conveyor section. In other words, the first baffle 53, the second baffle 55, and the third baffle 57 stop the eggs at predetermined positions on the conveyor section, preventing the eggs from continuing to roll forward and hitting the front end of the crossbeam 31, thus improving the safety of the eggs.

[0051] like Figures 2-4 As shown, it also includes:

[0052] Three mounting boxes 51 are slidably disposed on the rear side of the cross frame 31, and the three mounting boxes 51 are arranged sequentially along the length of the cross frame 31.

[0053] The rear ends of the first guide plate 52, the second guide plate 54 and the third guide plate 56 are respectively fixedly connected to the three mounting boxes 51;

[0054] The rear ends of the first baffle 53, the second baffle 55 and the third baffle 57 are respectively fixedly connected to the three mounting boxes 51.

[0055] L-shaped support 7, which is fixed to the rear wall of cross frame 31, and the three mounting boxes 51 are all slidably arranged inside the L-shaped support 7.

[0056] In use, when the leftmost mounting box 51 is moved along the length of the crossbeam 31, the leftmost mounting box 51 drives the first guide plate 52 and the first baffle 53 to move synchronously. Similarly, when the other two mounting boxes 51 are moved laterally, the other two mounting boxes 51 drive the second guide plate 54, the second baffle 55, and the third guide plate 56 and the third baffle 57 to move synchronously, thereby enabling the transfer of eggs from chicken coop shelves of different widths to the conveyor section, improving the adaptability of the device. It should be noted that the L-shaped support 7 is used to support the three mounting boxes 51. When the mounting box 51 is moved to the predetermined position, it can be positioned by the bolts threaded on the L-shaped support 7 to improve the stability of the mounting box 51's position.

[0057] like Figures 2-4 As shown, the conveying unit includes:

[0058] Multiple support rods 33 are installed in the cross frame 31 via a first chain 32, and the multiple support rods 33 are arranged sequentially along the length of the cross frame 31.

[0059] The first supporting groove 333, the second supporting groove 332, and the third supporting groove 331 are provided on each of the supporting rods 33. The first supporting groove 333, the second supporting groove 332, and the third supporting groove 331 correspond to the front ends of the first guide plate 52, the second guide plate 54, and the third guide plate 56, respectively.

[0060] In use, the eggs conveyed from the first guide plate 52, the second guide plate 54 and the third guide plate 56 are precisely conveyed into the first support groove 333, the second support groove 332 and the third support groove 331 respectively, thereby limiting the position of the eggs on the support rod 33 and preventing the eggs from accidentally rolling and colliding during the conveying process, thus further improving the safety of egg conveying.

[0061] like Figures 2-4 As shown, it also includes:

[0062] Three air inlets 64 are respectively located at the front ends of the first baffle 53, the second baffle 55, and the third baffle 57, and correspond to the front ends of the first guide plate 52, the second guide plate 54, and the third guide plate 56. Preferably, the sizes of the three air inlets 64 on the first baffle 53, the second baffle 55, and the third baffle 57 increase sequentially.

[0063] During use, as the egg rolls forward on the first guide plate 52, the second guide plate 54, and the third guide plate 56, airflow is simultaneously introduced into the three air inlets 64. This directs the airflow towards the egg, appropriately reducing its rolling speed and preventing it from forcefully impacting the front ends of the first baffle 53, the second baffle 55, and the third baffle 57, thus improving egg integrity. It should be noted that because the lengths of the first guide plate 52, the second guide plate 54, and the third guide plate 56 decrease sequentially, the rolling speed of the egg at their front ends increases sequentially. Therefore, the dimensions of the three air inlets 64 on the first baffle 53, the second baffle 55, and the third baffle 57 are designed to increase sequentially, resulting in sequentially increased air pressure at the three air inlets 64. This accommodates the different rolling speeds of the egg at the front ends of the first guide plate 52, the second guide plate 54, and the third guide plate 56, ensuring that the egg rolls stably into the first supporting groove 333, the second supporting groove 332, and the third supporting groove 331, thereby improving egg safety.

[0064] like Figure 5 As shown, it also includes:

[0065] The air guide pipe 61 is located inside the L-shaped support 7, and the three mounting boxes 51 are all slidably sealed with the air guide pipe 61.

[0066] Three air guide holes 62 are provided, all of which are provided on the air guide pipe 61 and are respectively connected to the inner cavity of the three mounting boxes 51.

[0067] Three air passages 63 are respectively opened inside the first baffle 53, the second baffle 55 and the third baffle 57. The rear ends of the three air passages 63 are respectively connected to the inner cavities of the three mounting boxes 51, and the front ends of the three air passages 63 are respectively connected to the three air inlets 64.

[0068] During use, an external blower continuously blows gas into the air duct 61. The gas in the air duct 61 enters the inner cavity of the three mounting boxes 51 through three air ducts 62. The gas in the inner cavity of the mounting box 51 enters the air blowing port 64 through the air passage 63, and then the gas is blown out from the three air blowing ports 64 to reduce the rolling speed of the eggs. In addition, when a mounting box 51 is moved laterally, because the inner cavity of the mounting box 51 has a certain length, the mounting box 51 and its corresponding air duct 62 are always connected. This ensures that after the mounting box 51 has moved a predetermined distance, the gas can still flow smoothly into the air passage 63 and then be sprayed out from the air blowing port 64. When facing chicken coop shelves of different widths, it can still slow down the rolling eggs at the front of the first guide plate 52, the second guide plate 54 and the third guide plate 56, improve the safety of the eggs and thus adapt to chicken coop shelves of different widths.

[0069] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes:

[0070] The second chain 2 is vertically mounted inside the frame 1 via a sprocket, and the front side of the second chain 2 is fixedly connected to the crossbeam 31 via a connecting plate 21.

[0071] In use, when the external motor drives the second chain 2 to rotate in the vertical plane via the sprocket, the front side of the second chain 2 drives the horizontal frame 31 to move up and down via the connecting plate 21, thereby driving all the components installed on the horizontal frame 31 to move up and down, thus collecting eggs from chicken coop shelves of different heights and improving the range of use of the device.

[0072] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
