Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of poultry farming equipment, and in particular to an egg-collecting claw of an egg-collecting device. Background Technology
[0002] Existing egg collection devices have a series of problems and shortcomings. Traditional egg collection devices typically have a one-piece, non-removable egg-collecting claw structure. Once a part is damaged, the entire device needs to be replaced, increasing usage costs and maintenance difficulties. Moreover, the one-piece structure makes it difficult to flexibly adjust the number and spacing of the egg-collecting claws according to actual conditions, failing to meet the needs of different scales of farming.
[0003] In the egg-setting process, existing devices often lack optimized designs for different workload scenarios. For example, in high-load multi-layer laying hen cages, the egg-setting components may have insufficient load-bearing capacity, leading to low egg-setting efficiency or even malfunctions; while in low-load single-layer laying hen cages, overly complex and high-powered egg-setting devices may be used, resulting in resource waste and increased costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an egg-collecting claw for an egg-collecting device, in light of the current state of the technology.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: an egg-collecting claw of an egg-collecting device, including an egg-collecting body, an egg-collecting claw assembly within the egg-collecting body, and an egg-dispensing unit. The egg-collecting claw assembly includes several detachable egg-collecting claws, each of which is provided with a locking unit. The egg-collecting claw includes a rotating bracket, several egg-collecting hooks disposed at the lower end of the rotating bracket, and a rotating rib disposed on the back of the rotating bracket. The locking unit includes a first hook disposed above the rotating bracket, a second hook disposed below the rotating bracket, and a locking post for engaging the first hook and the second hook. Each egg-collecting claw is detachably connected to the locking post through the misalignment of the first hook and the second hook to form an egg-collecting claw assembly. A third hook is arranged on the egg-collecting hook, and a corresponding slot is arranged on the rotating bracket. The egg-collecting hooks are detachably connected to the slots through the third hook to form an egg-collecting claw.
[0006] Preferably, the egg-pulling unit includes an egg-pulling shaft disposed at the upper and lower ends of the egg-collecting claw assembly or an egg-pulling chain disposed on both sides of the egg-collecting claw assembly. The egg-pulling shaft drives the egg-collecting claw assembly to rotate and pull eggs through a rotating rib, and the egg-pulling chain drives the egg-collecting claw assembly to rotate and pull eggs through a locking post.
[0007] The aforementioned components achieve the following effects: by setting up two transmission methods, namely the egg-dispensing shaft or the egg-dispensing chain, the egg-dispensing chain is suitable for high-load working scenarios such as laying hen cages with more than 6 layers, while the egg-dispensing shaft is suitable for low-load working scenarios such as laying hen cages with fewer than 6 layers. This targeted design can meet the needs of farms of different sizes, improve egg-dispensing efficiency and stability, and ensure that egg-dispensing work can be completed smoothly under various load conditions, thus meeting different working scenarios and needs and improving the efficiency and stability of egg-dispensing.
[0008] Preferably, the egg collector body is also provided with an egg dispensing platform and an egg conveyor belt. The egg conveyor belt transports the eggs to the egg collector body, and the egg collection claw assembly, together with the upper egg-dispensing shaft and the lower single-rotor shaft, transports the eggs to the egg dispensing platform.
[0009] The aforementioned components achieve the following effect: the main body of the egg collector is equipped with an egg dispensing platform and an egg conveyor belt, which can efficiently transport eggs to designated locations, realizing an integrated process of egg collection, transportation and dispensing, and improving work efficiency.
[0010] Preferably, the egg-collecting claw is J-shaped.
[0011] The effect achieved by the above-mentioned components is that the egg-collecting claws are J-shaped, which better conforms to the shape of the eggs and the collection needs, and can better grasp and transport the eggs, reducing the breakage of the eggs during the collection process.
[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: the egg-collecting claw assembly consists of several detachable egg-collecting claws, each equipped with a locking unit, making assembly and disassembly of the egg-collecting claws extremely convenient. When a particular egg-collecting claw is damaged or requires maintenance, it can be removed individually for processing without the need for complete replacement, greatly reducing maintenance costs and time.

[0024] In this embodiment 1,
[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides an egg-collecting claw 4 for an egg-collecting device, including an egg-collecting body 1, an egg-collecting claw assembly 2 within the egg-collecting body 1, and an egg-dispensing unit 3. The egg-collecting claw assembly 2 comprises several detachable egg-collecting claws 4, each egg-collecting claw 4 being equipped with a locking unit 5; each egg-collecting claw 4 includes a rotating bracket 6, several egg-collecting hooks 7 disposed at the lower end of the rotating bracket 6, and a rotating rib 8 disposed on the back of the rotating bracket 6; the locking unit 5 includes a [missing information - likely a typo, should be " ... A first hook 9, a second hook 10 located below the rotating bracket 6, and a locking post 11 for engaging the first hook 9 and the second hook 10 are provided. Each egg-collecting claw 4 is detachably connected to the locking post 11 by the first hook 9 and the second hook 10 being misaligned, forming an egg-collecting claw group 2. A third hook 12 is arranged on the egg-collecting claw 7, and a corresponding slot 13 is arranged on the rotating bracket 6. The egg-collecting claw 7 is detachably connected to the slot 13 by the third hook 12, forming an egg-collecting claw 4.
[0026] The egg collecting claw assembly 2 consists of several detachable egg collecting claw assemblies 2, each egg collecting claw 4 is equipped with a locking unit 5, making the assembly and disassembly of the egg collecting claw 4 extremely convenient. When a certain egg collecting claw 4 is damaged or requires maintenance, it can be removed and handled individually without the need for overall replacement, greatly reducing maintenance costs and time.
[0027] The egg collecting claw 4 is connected to the first hook 9, the second hook 10 and the locking post 11 in a staggered manner to form the egg collecting claw group 2. The connection is stable and easy to disassemble and assemble. The number and spacing of the egg collecting claw 4 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. When damage occurs or maintenance is required, it can be disassembled and handled separately without replacing the whole group, which greatly reduces maintenance costs and time.
[0028] The rotating bracket 6 and the egg-collecting hook 7 are detachably connected by the third hook 12 and the slot 13, which makes it easy to replace the individual egg-collecting hook 7. When either the rotating bracket 6 or the egg-collecting hook 7 is damaged or needs maintenance, it can be removed and handled separately without replacing the whole thing, which greatly reduces maintenance costs and time and enhances the maintainability and flexibility of the parts.
[0029] The egg-pulling unit 3 includes an egg-pulling shaft 14 located at the upper and lower ends of the egg-collecting claw assembly 2 or an egg-pulling chain 15 located on both sides of the egg-collecting claw assembly 2. The egg-pulling shaft 14 drives the egg-collecting claw assembly 2 to rotate and pull eggs through the rotating rib 8, and the egg-pulling chain 15 drives the egg-collecting claw assembly 2 to rotate and pull eggs through the locking post 11.
[0030] By setting up two transmission methods, namely the egg-dispensing shaft 14 or the egg-dispensing chain 15, the egg-dispensing chain 15 is suitable for high-load working scenarios such as laying hen cages with more than 6 layers, while the egg-dispensing shaft 14 is suitable for low-load working scenarios such as laying hen cages with less than 6 layers. This targeted design can meet the needs of farms of different sizes, improve the efficiency and stability of egg dispensing, and ensure that the egg dispensing work can be completed smoothly under various load conditions, thus meeting different working scenarios and needs and improving the efficiency and stability of egg dispensing.
[0031] The egg collector body 1 is also equipped with an egg dispensing platform 16 and an egg conveyor belt 17. The egg conveyor belt 17 transports the eggs to the egg collector body 1. The egg collection claw group 2, together with the upper egg-pulling shaft 14 and the lower single-pulling shaft, transports the eggs to the egg dispensing platform 16.
[0032] The main body of the egg collector 1 is equipped with an egg dispensing platform 16 and an egg conveyor belt 17, which can efficiently transport eggs to a designated location, realizing an integrated process of egg collection, transportation and dispensing, and improving work efficiency.
[0033] The egg-collecting claw 4 is arranged in a J-shape.
[0034] The egg-collecting claw 4 is J-shaped, which better conforms to the shape of the egg and the collection needs, enabling it to better grasp and transport the egg and reduce the breakage of the egg during the collection process.
[0035] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the egg-collecting claw assembly 2 consists of a detachable assembly with a locking unit 5, which can handle damage or maintenance independently and flexibly adjust the number and spacing; the rotating bracket 6 is detachably connected to the egg-collecting hook 7, enhancing maintainability; the specific locking structure makes the egg-collecting claw assembly 2 securely connected and easy to assemble and disassemble; the egg-dispensing unit 3 is versatile, with the egg-dispensing chain 15 suitable for heavy loads and the egg-dispensing shaft 14 suitable for light loads, meeting different scale requirements and improving efficiency and stability; the main body 1 of the egg collector has an egg-dispensing platform 16 and an egg-carrying conveyor belt 17, realizing an integrated process and improving efficiency; the egg-collecting claw 4 is J-shaped, reducing collection breakage.
[0036] Furthermore, the detachable design of the egg collecting claw 4 effectively prevents deformation and failure caused by temperature changes, water absorption, and dehydration. For example, in environments with large temperature variations, the thermal expansion and contraction of the material is reasonably controlled; in humid environments, the water absorption and dehydration processes of the material do not affect its structural stability, ensuring the long-term reliable operation of the egg collecting device and reducing equipment failures and maintenance costs caused by material deformation.
[0037] In this embodiment 2,
[0038] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, when the egg-collecting claw 4 is damaged or requires maintenance, each egg-collecting claw 4 is equipped with a locking unit 5, such as the first hook 9, the second hook 10, and the locking post 11. With simple operation, the damaged egg-collecting claw 4 can be removed from the egg-collecting claw assembly 2. Similarly, the connection between the rotating bracket 6 and the egg-collecting hook 7 via the third hook 12 and the slot 13 also allows for easy individual disassembly of the egg-collecting hook 7. This detachable design eliminates the need for large-scale disassembly of the entire egg-collecting device during maintenance and component replacement, significantly saving time and labor costs, improving maintenance efficiency, and ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the egg-collecting device.
[0039] In this embodiment 3,
[0040] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, during operation, the appropriate egg-dispensing unit 3 is selected based on the number of layers and load of the laying hen cage. For laying hen cages with fewer than 6 layers and a small load, the egg-dispensing shaft 14 starts working. The egg-dispensing shaft 14 drives the egg-collecting claw assembly 2 to rotate via the rotating rib 8. The egg-collecting claws 4 are J-shaped and can effectively grasp the eggs. When facing laying hen cages with more than 6 layers and a large load, the egg-dispensing chain 15 drives the egg-collecting claw assembly 2 to rotate via the locking post 11 to dispense the eggs.
[0041] Each egg-collecting claw 4 in the egg-collecting claw assembly 2 is securely connected by a specific locking structure. The rotating bracket 6 of the egg-collecting claw 4 is tightly connected to the egg-collecting hook claw 7 through the cooperation of the third hook 12 and the slot 13.
[0042] After the egg is picked up, the egg conveyor belt 17 inside the egg collector body 1 transports the egg to the egg collector body 1. The egg collection claw group 2, together with the egg-dispensing shaft 14 or the egg-dispensing chain 15, transports the egg to the egg-dispensing platform 16, completing the entire egg collection process.
