Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock farming machinery technology, and more specifically, to an egg-collecting device for poultry and livestock farming. Background Technology

[0002] An egg-collecting machine is an automated device used to collect eggs. It not only improves work efficiency but also reduces manual labor and alleviates the workload of workers.

[0003] Patent publication number CN217509664U discloses a novel belt-driven egg-collecting machine, comprising a frame structure formed by side plates, a bottom plate, and a top plate, perpendicular to the ground. Multiple rotating rollers are rotatably arranged between two side plates, and a belt is wound around each roller. Multiple rows of nylon egg hooks are spaced apart on the belt. An egg-unloading plate is located on the front of the belt, and a transition plate is located on the back of the belt. A conveying device is located on the other side of the transition plate. Multiple unloading teeth are spaced apart on both the egg-unloading plate and the transition plate, and these teeth are interleaved and inserted into the nylon egg hooks. The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel belt-driven egg-collecting machine to facilitate egg collection.

[0004] However, in patent publication number CN217509664U, the egg unloading plate is used to unload the picked-up eggs. A transition plate is set on the back of the belt. Both the egg unloading plate and the transition plate are connected to the side plate. A conveying device is set on the other side of the transition plate. Since the picked-up eggs cannot be sorted according to their size, manual sorting is still required later, which increases the labor intensity. Therefore, we propose an egg picking device for poultry and livestock farming to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Example:

[0033] Please see Figure 1-5 An egg-collecting device for poultry and livestock farming includes a frame 1, on the top of which a first conveying mechanism, a second conveying mechanism, and a third conveying mechanism are respectively installed.

[0034] The first conveying mechanism, the second conveying mechanism, and the third conveying mechanism each include a connecting frame 2 symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1, an active roller 3 and a driven roller 4 rotatably connected between the connecting frames 2, a transmission belt 5 drivingly connected between the active roller 3 and the driven roller 4, and a drive motor 6 mounted on the connecting frame 2 and whose power output end is drivingly connected to the active roller 3.

[0035] A sorting frame 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting frame 2, and the sorting frame 7 spans the first conveying mechanism, the second conveying mechanism and the third conveying mechanism. The sorting frame 7 is composed of an egg receiving channel 8 and a sorting channel 9, and the egg receiving channel 8 and the sorting channel 9 are set at an angle. The sorting channel 9 is provided with a first sorting hole 10, a second sorting hole 11 and a third sorting hole 12 corresponding to the first conveying mechanism, the second conveying mechanism and the third conveying mechanism, respectively. The ends of the first sorting hole 10, the second sorting hole 11 and the third sorting hole 12 are all provided with baffles 13 integrally formed with the sorting frame 7.

[0036] It should be noted that when using this poultry and livestock breeding egg-collecting device, the device is placed at the poultry and livestock breeding cage, and the egg-receiving channel 8 on the sorting rack 7 is aligned with the egg outlet of the breeding cage. After receiving the eggs, the egg-receiving channel 8 conveys them to the sorting channel 9. The different widths of the first sorting hole 10, the second sorting hole 11, and the third sorting hole 12 are used to sort eggs of different sizes. Eggs of different sizes fall from the first sorting hole 10, the second sorting hole 11, and the third sorting hole 12 respectively, and are blocked by the corresponding baffles 13 to prevent them from rolling off the conveyor belt 5. Then they fall onto the conveyor belts 5 of the corresponding first conveyor mechanism, second conveyor mechanism, and third conveyor mechanism. The drive motor 6 drives the active roller 3 to rotate, and the driven roller 4 works together to make the conveyor belt 5 convey the eggs, thus completing the work of picking up and sorting the eggs, which greatly reduces the labor intensity of manual sorting in the later stage.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, sorting racks 7 are arranged at equal intervals on connecting racks 2;

[0038] It should be noted that this can effectively improve the efficiency of egg collection and sorting.

[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, the sorting rack 7 is formed by bending the egg receiving channel 8 and the sorting channel 9 together, and the bending angle between the egg receiving channel 8 and the sorting channel 9 is 150°.

[0040] It should be noted that by setting the egg receiving channel 8 at an upward angle, potential energy can be used to make the eggs roll down from the egg receiving channel 8 to the sorting channel 9.

[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, the first sorting hole 10 extends to the second conveying mechanism, and the second sorting hole 11 extends to the third conveying mechanism;

[0042] The widths of the first sorting hole 10, the second sorting hole 11, and the third sorting hole 12 increase sequentially.

[0043] It should be noted that the different widths of the first sorting hole 10, the second sorting hole 11, and the third sorting hole 12 are used to sort eggs of different sizes, and eggs of different sizes fall from the first sorting hole 10, the second sorting hole 11, and the third sorting hole 12 respectively.

[0044] like Figure 5 As shown, the top of the baffle 13 provided at the end of the first sorting hole 10 and the second sorting hole 11 is provided with a first notch, and the width of the first notch is adapted to the width of the first sorting hole 10 and the second sorting hole 11 respectively.

[0045] The sorting channel 9 has a second notch at the location corresponding to the conveyor belt 5;

[0046] It should be noted that the eggs are blocked by the corresponding baffle 13 to prevent them from rolling off the conveyor belt 5, and the first gap ensures that the eggs can roll normally.

[0047] By setting a second notch, eggs can be transferred normally on conveyor belt 5.

[0048] like Figure 5 As shown, the edges of the first sorting hole 10, the second sorting hole 11 and the third sorting hole 12 are all coated with adhesive strips 14;

[0049] It should be noted that the rubber strip 14 provides excellent protection for the eggs during the rolling process, preventing their shells from breaking.

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, the surface of the conveyor belt 5 is coated with a cotton pad.

[0051] It should be noted that the cotton pads effectively cushion the eggs that fall onto the conveyor belt 5, preventing them from breaking.

[0052] In use: Place the device at the poultry and livestock breeding cage, and align the egg receiving channel 8 on the sorting rack 7 with the egg outlet of the breeding cage. After receiving the eggs, the egg receiving channel 8 conveys them to the sorting channel 9. The different widths of the first sorting hole 10, the second sorting hole 11, and the third sorting hole 12 are used to sort eggs of different sizes. Eggs of different sizes fall from the first sorting hole 10, the second sorting hole 11, and the third sorting hole 12 respectively, and are blocked by the corresponding baffles 13 to prevent them from rolling off the conveyor belt 5. Then they fall onto the conveyor belts 5 of the corresponding first conveyor mechanism, second conveyor mechanism, and third conveyor mechanism. The drive motor 6 drives the active roller 3 to rotate, and the driven roller 4 works together to make the conveyor belt 5 convey the eggs. The width of the conveyor belt 5 is set to 10cm.

[0053] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model; however, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
