Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated chicken farming technology, and in particular to an automated egg-collecting device for chicken farms. Background Technology

[0002] Eggs, also known as chicken eggs, are the eggs laid by hens. They have a hard outer shell and contain an air cell, albumen (white part of the egg), and yolk. Rich in protein and various trace elements, they are highly nutritious and a common food for humans. Egg whites contain avidin, which can interfere with the absorption of biotin from food. If eggs are not fully cooked, they may cause symptoms such as loss of appetite, general weakness, muscle pain, skin inflammation, and eyebrow loss. Eggs are sweet in taste, neutral in nature, and non-toxic. The incubation period is approximately 21 days.

[0003] Currently, chickens and eggs in chicken farms are all on chicken racks, and the eggs are separated from the chickens. Although this makes it convenient to pick up the eggs, most chicken farms still use manual labor to pick up the eggs. When picking up the eggs, people push carts along the passageways of the chicken farm and pick up the eggs from the chicken racks on both sides of the passageway and put them into the egg carts on the carts. This method of picking up eggs is time-consuming and labor-intensive, requires a lot of manpower, and reduces economic efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, an automated egg-collecting device for chicken farms is needed. This device can simultaneously collect eggs from chicken racks on both sides of the aisles in the chicken farm, replacing manual collection and improving work efficiency. The device can be adjusted according to the height of the chicken racks to improve equipment utilization. The device can also adjust the angle of egg collection based on the height of the chicken racks and the device itself to ensure accurate egg collection. The device can automatically place the collected eggs into egg cartons, further saving manpower and effectively improving economic benefits. Utility Model Content

Specifically, the cam 314 rotates, driving the egg picking mechanism 3 housing mechanism 17 to move up and down, thereby driving the square plate 306 to move up and down; the motor III 315 is fixedly installed on the side of the egg collection box 304, and its motor shaft is fixedly connected to the shaft of the half gear 312.Specifically, when picking up eggs from the egg rack, firstly, adjust the inclination of the egg tray 301 according to the height of the eggs to be picked up and the height of the equipment. Then, manually rotate the egg tray 301 to tilt it to a suitable angle. At this point, the locking holes on the circular chuck 302 align with the upper and lower locking holes on the corresponding card holder I 209. Then, manually insert the card holder II 303 into the aligned locking holes on the circular chuck 302 and card holder I 209 to adjust the inclination of the egg tray 301 and fix the egg tray 301 in place. Then, manually push the U-shaped card holder 305 upward to disengage the lower end of the U-shaped card holder 305 from the egg retrieval box 304. The through hole of the side auxiliary block and the locking hole of the small rod on the side of the egg tray 301 are then manually rotated to make the egg tray 304 vertical, so that the egg tray 304 can be smoothly placed on the chicken rack.

[0036] In one optional embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, a bevel gear is slidably mounted on the long rod 207. This bevel gear is rotatably mounted on the plate on the side of the cross frame 205. This bevel gear meshes with the bevel gear on the lead screw II 206.

[0037] In one optional embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4As shown, a camera is fixedly installed on the upper end of the chassis 201 by a rod. This camera can monitor the position of the egg carton on the slot 210 in real time and transmit the information to the central processing unit. The central processing unit receives the signal and sends instructions to motor I 204 and motor II 208 to realize the position adjustment of the slot 210, thereby realizing the position adjustment of the egg carton on the slot 210 and ensuring that the equipment accurately places eggs in the egg carton on the slot 210.

[0038] Working principle: This equipment can simultaneously pick up eggs from chicken racks on both sides of the passageway in a chicken farm, replacing manual picking and improving work efficiency; the equipment can be adjusted according to the height of the chicken racks to improve equipment utilization; the equipment can adjust the angle of egg picking according to the height of the chicken racks and the equipment height to ensure accurate egg picking; the equipment can automatically put the picked-up eggs into egg cartons, further saving manpower and effectively improving economic benefits.

[0039] When picking up eggs, the equipment is first moved into the passage of the chicken farm. Then, the electric cylinder 102 pushes the support plate 103 up and down according to the height of the egg picking position, so that the support plate 103 is adjusted to a suitable position. The support plate 103 drives the chassis 201 to move, and the chassis 201 drives the egg tray 301 to a suitable position. Then, the operator puts an egg carton from the card plate on the base frame 101 into the card slot 210.

[0040] Then, adjust the tilt of the egg tray 301 according to the height of the eggs to be picked up and the height of the equipment. At this time, manually rotate the egg tray 301 to tilt it to a suitable angle. At this time, the locking holes on the circular chuck 302 are aligned with the upper and lower locking holes on the corresponding card holder I 209. Then, manually insert the card holder II 303 into the aligned locking holes on the circular chuck 302 and the card holder I 209 to adjust the tilt of the egg tray 301 and fix the egg tray 301. Then, manually push the U-shaped card holder 305 upward to disengage the lower end of the U-shaped card holder 305 from the side of the egg retrieval box 304. The egg retrieval box 304 is vertically rotated by manually rotating the egg retrieval box 304 so that it can be smoothly placed on the chicken rack. At this time, a hole on the small rod on the side of the egg retrieval box 301 is aligned with the through hole on the auxiliary block on the side of the egg retrieval box 304. Then, the U-shaped bracket 305 is manually pushed down so that the lower end of the U-shaped bracket 305 is inserted into the through hole of the auxiliary block on the side of the egg retrieval box 304 and the hole on the small rod on the side of the egg retrieval box 301. This adjusts the angle between the egg retrieval box 301 and the egg retrieval box 304 and fixes the egg retrieval box 304 to the egg retrieval box 301.

[0041] When retrieving eggs, the camera on the egg collection box 304 accurately locates the position of the eggs on the chicken rack and transmits the information to the central processing unit. The central processing unit receives the signal and sends a command to motor III 315. Motor III 315 starts, driving half gear 312 to rotate. Half gear 312 drives push plate 311 to rotate one revolution. Push plate 311 pushes an egg from the chicken rack into the egg collection box 304 and onto auxiliary plate 308. After push plate 311 pushes the egg onto auxiliary plate 308, half gear 312 meshes with pinion 313. Half gear 312 drives push plate 311 to rotate back to its original position and simultaneously drives pinion 313 to rotate one revolution. Pinion 313 drives cam 314 to rotate one revolution. Cam 314 first drives square plate 306 to move upward. The square plate 306 drives the auxiliary plate 308 to move upward, aligning the auxiliary plate 308 with the egg outlet on the side of the egg collection box 304. At the same time, as the gear I 309 moves upward with the auxiliary plate 308, the gear I 309 meshes with the rack 310. When the gear I 309 moves upward again, it will cause the auxiliary plate 308 to rotate at an angle. At this time, the eggs on the auxiliary plate 308 fall down the egg groove 301 into the egg box on the slot 210. Then, the cam 314 drives the support plate 307 to move downward and return to its original position. The support plate 307 drives the square plate 306 to move downward, the square plate 306 drives the auxiliary plate 308 to move downward, and the auxiliary plate 308 drives the gear I 309 to move downward. At this time, the gear I 309 drives the auxiliary plate 308 to rotate and return to its original position, waiting for the next egg to be picked up.

[0042] To ensure that eggs dropped from the two egg trays 301 enter the egg carton accurately without collision, the position of the slot 210 needs to be moved in real time. At this time, the camera on the chassis 201 can monitor the position of the egg carton on the slot 210 in real time and transmit the information to the central processing unit. The central processing unit receives the signal and sends instructions to motor I 204 and motor II 208. Then, motor I 204 starts, driving the lead screw I 203 to rotate. The lead screw I 203 drives the horizontal frame 205 to move back and forth. The horizontal frame 205 drives the slot 210 to move back and forth. The slot 210 drives the egg carton placed on it to move back and forth. Motor II 208 starts, driving the long rod 207 to rotate. The bevel gear on the long rod 207 drives the lead screw II 206 to rotate. The lead screw II 206 drives the slot 210 to move left and right. The slot 210 drives the egg carton placed on it to move left and right, making it convenient for the two egg trays 301 to drop eggs into the egg carton.

[0043] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
