DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] The utility model will be further explained in connection with the drawings and examples, but not as the basis for limiting the utility model.

[0043] Example. An automatic egg turning device, as shown in Figures 1-8 The base 1 is used for installation at the bottom of the incubator, and cooperates with the incubator to perform incubation work, without opening the incubator to manually turn the eggs, so as to ensure the sanitary conditions in the incubator and reduce the influence of manual intervention on the incubated eggs.

[0044] In this embodiment, the incubated chicken eggs are taken as examples for illustration.

[0045] The turning assembly includes an egg holder 20, a linkage support 21, and a driving assembly 22. The egg holder 20 is used for accommodating a plurality of chicken eggs, is connected to the linkage support 21, and the driving assembly 22 is used for driving the linkage support 21 to move. The linkage support 21 drives the egg holder 20 to move in the base 1, realizes the effect of turning the eggs, and makes the chicken eggs in the egg holder 20 be evenly heated, thereby improving the incubation rate of the chicken eggs.

[0046] A plurality of through holes 200 are arranged on the egg holder 20. Through the arrangement of the through holes 200, the air circulation is promoted, and the gas in the space above the egg holder and the space below the egg holder is exchanged.

[0048] Specifically, the driving assembly 22 comprises a motor 221 and an eccentric cam 223, the eccentric cam 223 is connected to the output end of the motor 221, the linkage support 21 comprises a sliding rod 211 extending in the vertical direction, the sliding rod 211 is provided with a sliding groove 2111 extending in the vertical direction, and the eccentric cam 223 is provided with a connecting rod 224 at one end away from the motor 221, and the connecting rod 224 is arranged in the sliding groove 2111.

[0049] It can be understood that the output end of the motor 221 is controlled to rotate to drive the eccentric cam 223 to rotate, since the connecting rod 224 is limited in the sliding groove 2111 and can only slide in the vertical direction along the sliding groove 2111, and the friction force generated between the connecting rod 224 and the side wall of the sliding groove 2111 can drive the linkage support 21 to move in the horizontal direction, so as to drive the egg holder 20 to swing, thereby realizing the effect of automatic egg turning.

[0050] Suppose that the motor 221 rotates forward, the connecting rod 224 slides upward along the sliding groove 2111, and the linkage support 21 moves to one side in the horizontal direction; suppose that the motor 221 reverses, the connecting rod 224 slides downward along the sliding rod 211, and the linkage support 21 moves to the other side in the horizontal direction. That is to say, by controlling the motor 221 to alternately rotate forward and reverse, the linkage support 21 can swing in the horizontal direction, and then the egg holder 20 is driven to swing, thereby realizing the effect of automatic egg turning.

[0051] Preferably, the end of the base 1 is provided with a motor mounting groove 10, the motor mounting groove 10 is provided with a motor fixing seat 220, and the motor 221 is connected to the motor fixing seat 220.

The second clamping block 202 of the egg holder 20 is inserted into the second clamping groove 2131 and can function as a pivot. During the horizontal movement of the first support rod 213, the egg holder 20 will swing around the pivot, rather than simply move horizontally like the first support rod 213, and the swinging action can make the eggs in the egg holder 20 turn more greatly, achieving effective egg turning work.

[0058] Preferably, the end portion of the base 1 is provided with a mounting frame 12, the top of the mounting frame 12 is provided with a pressing block 121, and the pressing block 121 covers the first support rod 213.

[0059] Further, the mounting frame 12 is provided with two, for pressing the two ends of the first support rod 213, to ensure that the first support rod 213 is more stable during movement and will not tilt upward.
