Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture equipment technology, specifically an egg collection box for free-range chickens. Background Technology
[0002] Family farms and small-scale free-range chicken farming account for only about 35% of the total chicken farming scale. Free-range chicken farmers have poor equipment conditions, and chickens are susceptible to diseases at all stages of growth. In addition, chickens lack necessary egg-laying facilities. At present, farmers generally raise free-range chickens in open areas, which has disadvantages such as brooding and mixing eggs with chicken manure. There is an urgent need for a simple and practical egg-laying box. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an egg collection box for free-range chickens.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: an egg collection box for free-range chickens, comprising an egg-laying chamber and an egg collection storage chamber located on one side of the egg-laying chamber. The egg-laying chamber is provided with an opening structure for entry and exit. The egg-laying chamber and the egg collection storage chamber are connected through an egg drop opening. Vertical baffle structures are respectively provided above and below the egg drop opening. The upper and lower edges of the baffle structures are bent towards the center of the egg-laying chamber to form a retaining edge structure. An egg-rolling net inclined towards the egg collection storage chamber is provided at the bottom of the egg-laying chamber. The outer end of the egg-rolling net extends into the egg collection storage chamber, and the outer end of the egg-rolling net is an upward arc-shaped structure, which forms an egg collection trough.
[0005] Furthermore, the egg-laying chamber below the rolling net has space left to form a dirt and residue chamber.
[0006] Furthermore, cover baffles are installed on the left and right sides of the egg collection and storage chamber.
[0007] Furthermore, the egg-laying chamber on the outside of the egg-dropping opening is rotatably connected to a rotating egg-protecting cover that can cover the top opening of the egg collection and storage chamber via a rotating shaft.
[0008] Furthermore, the portion of the egg-rolling net that passes through the egg-drop opening is supported on a baffle structure below the egg-laying chamber, and the upper sloping end of the egg-rolling net is supported on a bent support plate fixed to the side wall of the egg-laying chamber.
[0009] Furthermore, the egg-laying chamber has openings on both the front and back sides.
[0010] Furthermore, the top of the egg-laying room is equipped with a roof structure that bends upwards in the middle.
[0011] Furthermore, the egg-laying chamber is equipped with partitions to divide the egg-laying chamber into multiple separate chambers.
[0012] This invention not only provides chickens with a good resting and sheltering place, but also facilitates the automatic rolling of eggs into the egg collection and storage room after they are laid, achieving efficient separation. At the same time, feces are discharged through the egg rolling net to the dirt and residue room below, avoiding contamination of the eggs. It solves the problems of high hygiene risks and high breakage rate, and is suitable for ecological farming, free-range farming under forests and other scenarios. Attached Figure Description
[0013] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] Figure 4 This is a side view of the egg rolling net of this utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0018] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a free-range chicken egg collection box includes an egg-laying chamber 1 and an egg-collecting temporary storage chamber 2 located on one side of the egg-laying chamber 1. The egg-laying chamber 1 is provided with an opening structure 12 for entry and exit. The egg-laying chamber 1 and the egg-collecting temporary storage chamber 2 are connected by an egg drop opening 3. Vertical baffle structures 4 are respectively provided above and below the egg drop opening 3. The upper and lower edges of the baffle structures 4 are bent towards the center of the egg-laying chamber 1 to form a retaining edge structure 5. An egg-rolling net 6 is provided at the bottom of the egg-laying chamber 1, which is inclined towards the egg-collecting temporary storage chamber 2. The outer end of the egg-rolling net 6 extends into the egg-collecting temporary storage chamber 2. The upper baffle structure 4 and the egg-rolling net 6 constitute the egg-laying area of the egg-laying chamber 1, similar to the function of a chicken coop, which facilitates the chickens to lay eggs. When the chickens get up or move, the laid eggs roll down into the egg-collecting temporary storage chamber 2 through the egg-rolling net. The outer end of the egg-rolling net 6 is an upward arc-shaped structure, which forms an egg-collecting groove 7. The egg-collecting groove 7 can form a good buffer effect and effectively prevent the eggs from breaking.
[0019] Specifically: The laying chamber 1 below the egg-rolling net 6 has space, forming a waste / residue chamber 8. Covers 9 are installed on both sides of the egg collection chamber 2, protecting the eggs and preventing chickens from trampling or incubating them. A rotating egg-protecting cover 10, which covers the top opening of the egg collection chamber 2, is rotatably connected to the laying chamber 1 outside the egg drop opening 3 via a pivot. The portion of the egg-rolling net 6 that passes through the egg drop opening 3 is supported by a baffle structure 4 located below the laying chamber 1. The upper diagonal end of the egg-rolling net 6... The egg-laying room 1 is supported by a bent support plate 11 fixed to the side wall. The egg-laying room 1 has opening structures 12 on both the front and rear sides for chickens to enter and exit the egg-laying room 1. The top of the egg-laying room 1 has a roof structure 13 that bends upward in the middle. The egg-laying room 1 is equipped with partitions (not shown) to divide the egg-laying room 1 into multiple separate chambers. It can also be a mesh structure. When the egg-laying room 1 and the egg collection and storage room 2 are long, they can be divided into multiple egg-laying areas, which makes it convenient for multiple chickens to lay eggs at the same time. The partitions can also improve the overall strength of the egg-laying room 1.
[0020] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: After the eggs are laid, they are automatically rolled into the egg collection and storage chamber by the inclined egg rolling net, which achieves efficient separation. At the same time, the feces are discharged through the egg rolling net 6 to the dirt and residue chamber 8 below, avoiding contamination of the eggs. This solves the problems of high hygiene risk and high breakage rate, and is suitable for ecological breeding, forest free-range breeding and other scenarios.
[0021] The above description is merely an illustrative embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any equivalent changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art without departing from the concept and principles of this utility model should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
