[0002] In some existing poultry breeding structures, the egg-laying area and the egg-collecting area of ​​the poultry are separated. After the poultry lays eggs, the eggs will roll along the inclined surface from the egg-laying area to the egg-collecting area. If the inclined surface is tilted at a low degree, the eggs cannot roll along the inclined surface. However, if the inclined surface is tilted at a high degree, when the eggs roll from the inclined surface to the egg-collecting area, due to excessive kinetic energy, the eggs are easily broken by colliding with the edge of the egg-collecting area (egg baffle) or other eggs during rapid movement. At the same time, if the poultry is in this area to lay eggs, the eggs will fall onto the inclined surface of this area, causing the eggs to break. Utility Model Content

[0025] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the bird breeding area is divided into an activity area 100, an egg-laying area 200, and an egg-collecting area. The activity area 100 is used for the birds to move around, and may be equipped with structures such as a water trough and a feeding trough. The egg-laying area 200 is an area for the birds to lay eggs. The egg-collecting area is used to collect the eggs that fall from the egg-laying area 200. The egg-conveying structure 210 in the present disclosure, part of which is shown in FIG. Figure 4-7 As shown, it is placed in the egg-laying area 200, and the egg-transporting structure 210 is tilted to allow the eggs to roll out of the egg-laying area 200 and be transported to the egg-collecting area. Specifically, the egg-transporting structure 210 includes a main body 211 extending from front to back, and a plurality of micro-column clusters 222 are arranged on the main body 211. Each micro-column cluster 222 includes a plurality of micro-columns extending upward from the surface of the main body 211. The projections of the plurality of micro-columns in each micro-column cluster 222 on the horizontal plane form a polygon. The highest micro-column in each micro-column cluster 222 is located at the front end of the micro-column cluster 222 where the highest micro-column is located. For details, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 . And the microcolumns are made of flexible or elastic materials.

[0026] In the above scheme, firstly, a plurality of micro-column clusters 222 are provided, and the plurality of micro-column clusters 222 can also serve as a buffer structure to prevent the eggs from directly contacting the main body 211 of the egg transport structure 210 after falling from the bird's body and breaking. It should be noted that the polygon formed by the projection of the plurality of micro-columns of each micro-column cluster 222 on the horizontal plane can be a quadrilateral, a pentagon, a hexagon, etc., and the present disclosure does not make any specific limitation.

[0027] Optionally, the multiple microcolumns in each microcolumn cluster 222 include a highest microcolumn 2221, a lowest microcolumn 2223, and multiple middle microcolumns 2222, the highest microcolumn 2221 is the highest microcolumn in the microcolumn cluster 222, the lowest microcolumn 2223 is the lowest microcolumn in the microcolumn cluster 222, the highest microcolumn 2221 is located at the front end of the microcolumn cluster 222 where the highest microcolumn 2221 is located, the lowest microcolumn 2223 is located at the rear end of the microcolumn cluster 222 where the lowest microcolumn 2223 is located, and the multiple middle microcolumns 2222 are located in the middle of the microcolumn cluster 222 where the multiple middle microcolumns 2222 are located, and the height of the microcolumn is the distance between the top surface of the microcolumn and the position where the microcolumn contacts the main body 211. Optionally, the height of the highest microcolumn 2221 is 0.3-3 cm, and the height of the lowest microcolumn 2223 is 0.3-2 cm.

[0028] Since the highest micro-column 2221 is at the front end and the lowest micro-column 2223 is at the rear end, when the egg is located on the micro-column cluster 222, the front end is lifted higher by the micro-column cluster 222, so the egg can roll from front to back and is not easily stuck on the micro-column cluster 222 and no longer roll.

[0029] In order to ensure that all eggs fall onto the egg transport structure 210, they will contact the micro-column clusters 222 instead of directly contacting the main body 211 of the egg transport structure 210. Therefore, in some optional embodiments, the distance between each micro-column cluster 222 is less than or equal to 3 cm.

[0030] Optionally, the main body 211 is a large flat plate, similar to Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of micro-column clusters 222 are arranged on the body 211, and the body 211 can be made of plastic material. Figure 4 It is only a part of the egg-carrying structure 210. The egg-carrying structure 210 is composed of multiple Figure 4 It is composed of the plates in.

[0031] In order to reduce the impact on the eggs, the micro-columns can be made of plastic.

[0032] like Figure 1-3As shown, the present disclosure also provides an egg collecting device, including a conveying device 320 and an egg conveying structure 210, wherein the conveying device 320 is used to convey poultry eggs to an egg collecting area, and the egg conveying structure 210 is tilted to convey eggs on the egg conveying structure 210 to the conveying device 320, wherein the egg conveying structure 210 gradually tilts downward from front to back. Specifically, the egg collecting device also includes a support surface located in the activity area 100, and the front end of the egg conveying structure 210 rests on the support surface.

[0033] Optionally, the egg collecting device further comprises a cooling frame 230, and the cooling frame 230 is located above the egg conveying structure 210. The cooling frame comprises a plurality of pipes, and the pipes are used to pass liquid for cooling.

[0034] Optionally, the bottom of the egg conveying structure 210 is rotatably connected to the cooling frame 230, and the egg conveying structure 210 is rotated relative to the cooling frame 230 to adjust the inclination angle of the egg conveying structure 210. Specifically, when the egg conveying structure 210 is lowered, the angle between the egg conveying structure 210 and the horizontal plane is about 3-8°, for specific reference Figure 2 When the egg conveying structure 210 is hoisted, the angle between the egg conveying structure 210 and the horizontal plane can be 10-20°. Figure 8 Under normal circumstances, the egg conveying structure 210 is lowered, and the angle with the horizontal plane is 5°. At this time, the poultry can walk in the egg conveying structure 210, and most of the eggs can roll down to the egg collection area along the main body 211. After the poultry is driven out of the egg-laying area 200, the egg conveying structure 210 can be gradually lifted to allow the remaining eggs to roll down to the egg collection area.

[0035] Optionally, a protection curtain 231 is provided on the front side of the cooling frame 230, and the protection curtain 231 can be naturally hung down or suspended.

[0036] Specifically, the cooling frame 230 includes an outer frame (not fully shown in the figure) and a pipe 232 . The pipe 232 covers the entire outer frame, and the protective curtain 231 is disposed at the front side of the outer frame.

[0037] It should be noted that a pulley block and a rope may be provided on the outer frame, and the pulley block and the rope cooperate to lift and fix the egg conveying structure 210.

[0038] Optionally, the conveyor 320 is used to convey the eggs to the egg collection area. The conveyor 320 includes a conveyor belt and a motor, and the conveyor belt is driven by the motor to move. Optionally, a plurality of fixed blocks are provided on the conveyor belt, and a plurality of accommodating grooves are formed between the plurality of fixed blocks to accommodate the eggs.

[0039] Under normal circumstances, the birds are active in the activity area 100, and the birds can be driven to the egg-laying area 200 to lay eggs according to the situation (the protective curtain 231 should be lifted at this time to prevent poultry from entering). When the birds lay eggs in the egg-laying area 200, the eggs will fall downward, but the micro-column cluster effectively buffers the eggs to prevent the eggs from being directly broken. At the same time, based on the setting of the micro-columns in the micro-column cluster, that is, the highest micro-column is located at the front end, the shortest micro-column is located at the bottom end, and the main body is tilted downward from front to back, so the highest micro-column in the micro-column cluster can properly lift the eggs, so that the eggs are not easy to stay directly in the micro-column cluster and not move, but roll backward. The eggs will roll down along the egg conveying structure 210 to the conveying device 320 to be transported to the egg collection area. At the right time, the birds can be driven to the activity area, and then the egg conveying structure 210 is gradually and slowly lifted until all the eggs on the egg conveying structure 210 roll down to the conveying device 320.

[0040] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "disposed", "provided with", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.
