[0002] The chicken house environment is a crucial factor influencing poultry production performance. Scientifically sound environmental control can significantly improve poultry production, thereby increasing the economic benefits of the farm. However, traditional environmental control equipment often only records single parameters of the chicken house environment, such as temperature, humidity, and air quality, and struggles to simultaneously capture performance data for the surrounding flocks. This deficiency creates a disconnect between environmental control equipment and flock performance, making it impossible to fully assess the actual impact of environmental manipulation on egg production.

[0003] In actual production management, accurately recording environmental indicators and analyzing flock performance often requires additional egg counting equipment or manual counting. This not only increases equipment costs and labor input, but also significantly reduces production efficiency. Furthermore, if only environmental data is recorded while performance monitoring is neglected, effective production management decisions will be hindered, making it difficult to fully understand the impact of environmental changes on flock performance.

[0004] To address these issues, the present invention proposes an environmental control device that facilitates accurate egg counting. This device monitors and records various environmental indicators within a specific cage (area), accurately counting the number of eggs laid by the flock, and enabling the simultaneous collection of environmental and production performance data.

[0026] Among them, the detection device reciprocates horizontally on one side of the device body, and can synchronously slide up and down during the reciprocating horizontal sliding, and detects the environment inside the device body, and drives the stirring mechanism to stir the straw when the detection device is started.

[0027] The collecting device includes a cage body 1, a bottom plate 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the cage body 1, the bottom plate 2 is inclined to one side, the cage body 1 is located above the bottom plate 2, and two guide plates 3 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the connection between the bottom plate 2 and the cage body 1 below. The two guide plates 3 are fixedly connected to a counting camera 4 near the top of the conveying device, and the counting camera 4 is arranged opposite the cage body 1. A baffle rod 5 is provided below the connection between the cage body 1 and the guide plate 3, and the baffle rod 5 can slide vertically on the outer wall of the cage body 1.

[0028] The inner areas of the two guide plates 3 form a Y-shaped space for guiding the eggs to enter the conveying device along the counting camera 4.

[0029] The outer sides of the cage body 1 at the two ends are fixedly connected with positioning plates 9 respectively. Several slide plates 10 are vertically slidably connected to the two positioning plates 9 along the inclination direction of the bottom plate 2. The bottoms of the several slide plates 10 are fixedly connected with movable plates 11. The movable plates 11 and the bottom of the bottom plate 2 are evenly fixedly connected with multiple springs 13. A protrusion extends on one side above the movable plate 11.

[0030] A motor 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the cage body 1, and a screw 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 6. The screw 7 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the cage body 1, and a cam 12 is fixedly connected to the other end of the screw 7. The bottom end of the cam 12 abuts against the protrusion.

[0031] A horizontal plate 8 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cage body 1 on the side away from the conveying device, and a horizontal slider 28 is horizontally slidably connected to the horizontal plate 8. A threaded sleeve 27 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the horizontal slider 28. A threaded hole is provided at the bottom of the threaded sleeve 27, and the threaded hole is threadedly connected to the screw 7. A vertical groove 29 is provided in the middle of the outer end of the horizontal slider 28.

[0032] A number of guide blocks 21 are evenly fixedly connected above the movable plate 11. Both sides of the guide blocks 21 are inclined, and the guide blocks 21 can abut against moving wheels 22.

[0033] The implementation principle of an environmental control device for accurately counting eggs in the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0034] A straw mat is laid at the connection between the bottom of the cage 1 and the bottom plate 2 to facilitate the laying hens to roll the eggs in a unit time along the inclined direction along the guide plate 3 and fall from the middle through the counting camera 4 to the conveying device.

The screw 7 is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 27, and the threaded sleeve 27 is slidably connected to the horizontal plate 8 by the transverse slider 28, so that the threaded sleeve 27 can move back and forth along the horizontal plate 8. As the threaded sleeve 27 slides back and forth horizontally, the moving wheel 22 and the guide block 21 abut against each other, and the vertical slider 26 and the vertical slot 29 will drive the detection head 25 to slide back and forth in the vertical direction, so that the detection head 25 can perform periodic detection of the environment in the cage 1, and transmit the detection results to the terminal in time, so that targeted measures can be taken according to the detection results.

[0036] Example 2: Combination Figure 1-Figure 5 Based on Example 1, this embodiment has the following further improvements:

[0038] Cylinders 14 are fixedly connected to the corresponding circular holes 16 on the upper part of the movable plate 11, and a ball block 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of each cylinder 14. The ball block 15 is slidably connected to the guide groove 20, and is used to synchronously drive multiple cylinders 18 to rotate when the movable plate 11 drives the cylinder 14 to slide back and forth, thereby stirring the grass mat and preventing the grass mat from condensing.

[0039] The implementation principle of an environmental control device for accurately counting eggs in the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0040] As the screw 7 drives the cam 12 to rotate, the entire movable plate 11 will slide with the slide plate 10 and the positioning plate 9 under the elasticity of the movable plate 11 and the circular hole 16, and the multiple cylinders 14 will slide back and forth. When the ball block 15 and the guide groove 20 slide, the multiple cylinders 18 can be synchronously rotated back and forth, and the protrusion 19 can be used to stir the grass mat to prevent it from condensing.

[0041] The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
