[0022] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-4 The present invention relates to a chick incubation and rearing box, comprising: an incubation box body 1, two limiting grooves 2 on the inner wall of the incubation box body 1, an incubation plate 3 on the inner wall of the incubation box body 1, a plurality of symmetrically arranged placement grooves 4 on the upper part of the incubation plate 3, and protective pads on the inner walls of the plurality of placement grooves 4, limiting blocks 5 fixedly connected to both sides of the incubation plate 3, a sliding groove 6 on the front side of the incubation box body 1, a collection box 7 slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 6, a plurality of rotating rollers 8 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the incubation box body 1 and located at the lower end of the incubation plate 3, and a drive unit 9 on one side of the incubation box body 1.

[0024] The drive unit 9 includes a drive housing 901 fixedly connected to one side of the incubator body 1. Multiple gears 902 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the drive housing 901, and toothed belts 903 are installed on the outer walls of the gears 902. A drive motor 904 is fixedly connected to one side of the drive housing 901, and the output end of the drive motor 904 is fixedly connected to one side of one of its gears 902. The drive unit 9 facilitates the rotation of the rotating roller 8, thereby completing the flipping of the eggs.

[0025] Multiple rotating rollers 8 pass through one end of the incubator body 1 and are fixedly connected to one side of multiple gears 902. The rotating rollers 8 are driven to rotate by the rotation of the gears 902.

[0026] The limiting block 5 is adapted to the inner wall of the placement groove 4, and the limiting block 5 is slidably connected to the placement groove 4. The limiting block 5 can limit the incubation plate 3 in the incubator body 1.

[0027] Multiple rotating rollers 8 are arranged below the placement trough 4, and two rotating rollers 8 are arranged at the lower end of each placement trough 4. The rotation of the two rotating rollers 8 facilitates the flipping of the eggs inside the placement trough 4.

[0028] A handle 701 is fixedly connected to the front of the collection box 7, and an anti-slip pad is installed on the handle 701. The handle 701 makes it easy to pull the collection box 7 out of the incubator body 1.

[0029] A lid 10 is hinged to the top of the incubator body 1, and a sealing gasket 11 is provided at the lower end of the lid 10. The sealing gasket 11 improves the airtightness between the lid 10 and the incubator body 1.

[0030] Working principle: When in use, open the lid 10 and place the eggs to be hatched into the placement slot 4 on the incubation plate 3. At this time, the rotating roller 8 supports and limits the bottom of the eggs to prevent them from falling. Then close the lid 10 and turn on the drive motor 904 to output one gear 902 to rotate. The gear 902 drives multiple gears 902 to rotate through the toothed belt 903. The rotation of multiple gears 902 drives multiple rotating rollers 8 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rollers 8 facilitates the turning of the eggs, which helps to heat the eggs evenly and improve the hatching rate. In addition, debris and impurities will be generated during the egg incubation process, which can be collected by the collection box 7. The collection box 7 can be pulled out and the incubation plate 3 can be removed for cleaning, ensuring the cleanliness of the inside of the incubation box body 1.

[0031] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
