Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automation of agricultural poultry hatcheries, in particular to an automated production line for sex sorting and immune beak trimming of chicks. Background Art
[0002] At present, broiler and laying hen hatcheries are equipped with automated transmission lines to achieve sorting, immunization, beak trimming, stacking, spraying and other operations to improve production efficiency. However, due to the large number of yellow chicken varieties and large differences, the need for anal turning and identification of male and female, and the different immunization procedures from other chicken species (because the mixed immunization of two vaccines affects the titer, the first vaccine and the second vaccine need to be immunized 2 hours apart), yellow chicken hatcheries all adopt the "single-soldier combat" mode, that is, operators use single-function equipment alone to perform sex sorting, immunization, beak trimming, stacking, spraying, etc. of chicks, and in order to meet the functional requirements, the chicks need to be repeatedly framed, inverted, dragged and other invalid action procedures, which can easily cause stress to the chicks, increase mortality and affect the production performance of the chicks.
[0003] In the single-soldier operation mode, each operation project is a separate individual, and the upstream and downstream projects are not connected; each functional project requires the operator to move frames, turn over seedlings, stack, etc., which will increase the physical burden of the operator and reduce the operator's functional work time, affecting efficiency, and easily increase the number of chick frames, resulting in chaos on site and low production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an automatic production line for chick sex sorting and immune beak trimming in view of the above shortcomings.

The chicks whose primary wing feathers are obviously longer than the cover primary wing feathers are female chicks; the chicks whose primary wing feathers are equal to the cover primary wing feathers are male chicks);
[0038] The male chicks are placed in the male chick conveying line 2, and the female chicks are placed in the female chick conveying line 3. The male chicks are conveyed to the vaccine injection line 4 through the male chick conveying line 2 and the lifting line 6 for circulation. The female chicks are conveyed to another vaccine conveying line 4 after passing through the female chick conveying line 3 and the lifting line 6 for circulation. The male chicks and the female chicks are manually injected with vaccines in the vaccine injection line 4 and placed in the chick frames. When the chick frames contain a preset number of male chicks or female chicks, they are manually placed on the first conveying line 5, and the chick frames are conveyed to the spray stacking line 71 through the first conveying line 5;
[0039] The male or female chicks in the chick frame are disinfected on the spray palletizing line 71, and the chick frame is palletized, and the palletized chick frame is sent to the temporary storage line 72 for temporary storage;
[0040] The stacked chick frames in the temporary storage line 72 will subsequently be sent to the destacking and diversion line 8, and then sent to each destacking station 81 through the destacking and diversion line 8, and then manually hung on the one-day-old chick infrared beak trimming and immunization integrated machine 9. After the one-day-old chick infrared beak trimming and immunization integrated machine 9 completes the operation, the processed chicks will be packed into the chick frames and sent to the second conveyor line 82, and then sent to the stacking merging line 83 for merging and stacking.
