Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of new large-scale livestock and poultry farming technology, and in particular to a device for separating ducklings. Background Technology
[0002] In the duck farming industry, the hatching and separation of ducklings is a crucial step. Traditional duck hatching typically uses simple incubators with rudimentary temperature control methods, generally maintaining a general temperature range using heating equipment of fixed power. However, different breeds of ducks have slightly different temperature requirements during incubation. This rudimentary temperature control method cannot meet the precise hatching needs, resulting in inconsistent hatching success rates. Some eggs may fail to hatch properly due to unsuitable temperatures, leading to resource waste.
[0003] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors have discovered the following deficiencies: Existing devices may lack precise temperature regulation mechanisms, making it impossible to flexibly adjust the temperature according to the hatching needs of different duck breeds, resulting in unstable hatching temperatures and severely affecting the hatching success rate. Most existing devices are not equipped with elastic buffer layers and movable placement seats, making duck eggs easily damaged by collisions and vibrations during placement and hatching. Furthermore, the inability to adjust the position according to actual conditions greatly reduces the number of hatchable duck eggs. The lack of reasonably designed guide channels and symmetrical separation openings makes it easy for chicks to crowd and trample when transferred from the hatching room to the collection area, which is not only inefficient but also highly likely to cause injury to the chicks. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art and in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, this application provides a duckling separation device.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a separation device for ducklings, comprising an incubator shell, a conveyor belt inside the incubator shell, and a separation component on the top of the conveyor belt;
[0006] The separation assembly includes a first guide plate, a second guide plate, a transverse partition, a longitudinal partition, and a larvae separation port. The first guide plate is fixedly installed inside the incubator shell. The bottom of the first guide plate is fixedly connected to the second guide plate. The transverse partition is fixedly connected to one side of the second guide plate. The bottom of the transverse partition is fixedly connected to the longitudinal partition. The larvae separation port is provided at the connection between the longitudinal partition and the incubator shell and the conveyor belt. The larvae separation port is located on the side of the incubator shell.
[0007] Optionally, the separation assembly further includes a sealed top cover, a servo motor, a spiral telescopic rod, a heating plate, and an egg placement seat. The sealed top cover is bolted to the top of the incubator shell. The servo motor is fixedly mounted on the top of the sealed top cover, and its output end is fixedly connected to the spiral telescopic rod. The heating plate is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the spiral telescopic rod, and the egg placement seat is located at the bottom of the heating plate. The egg placement seat is fixedly mounted on the top of the second guide plate. The spiral telescopic rod extends and retracts under the drive of the servo motor, causing the heating plate to move up and down, adjusting the distance between the heating plate and the egg placement seat to adapt to different incubation needs.
[0008] Optionally, the sealed top cover, the hatch shell, the first guide plate, and the second guide plate together divide the internal cavity of the hatch shell into a top hatching chamber and a bottom separation chamber, wherein the temperature of the hatching chamber is higher than the temperature of the separation chamber, and the heating plate is movably disposed in the hatching chamber.
[0009] Optionally, the juvenile separation ports are symmetrically arranged in pairs, and the juvenile separation ports, together with the second guide plate and the transverse partition, form a channel for guiding the ducklings to fall from the incubation room to the conveyor belt. The height of the second guide plate, the transverse partition and the longitudinal partition is twice the height of the ducklings.
[0010] Optionally, the surface of the duck egg holder is provided with an elastic buffer layer, and its bottom is movably connected to the second guide plate via a slide rail.
[0011] Optionally, the transverse and longitudinal partitions are made of insulating materials with a thermal conductivity of less than 10 W / m·K.
[0012] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:
[0013] 1. In use, this utility model utilizes a servo motor-driven spiral telescopic rod to precisely control the distance between the heating plate and the duck egg placement seat. Different breeds of meat ducks have different temperature requirements during incubation. By adjusting the position of the heating plate, the temperature distribution within the incubation chamber can be precisely adjusted, ensuring the duck eggs are always in the most suitable incubation temperature environment, greatly improving the hatching success rate. For some temperature-sensitive breeds, the height of the heating plate can be adjusted promptly according to their specific incubation stage requirements to ensure optimal incubation results.
[0014] 2. In use, the elastic buffer layer on the surface of the duck egg holder provides cushioning when duck eggs are placed, preventing breakage from hard collisions between the eggs and the holder. During daily operation, the elastic buffer layer effectively protects the integrity of the eggs from minor vibrations caused by staff placing them or equipment operation, increasing the number of eggs that can be hatched. The bottom of the duck egg holder is movably connected to the second guide plate via a sliding rail, allowing staff to easily adjust the position of the eggs according to hatching needs. During incubation, it may be necessary to check or adjust the distribution density of some eggs; the sliding rail allows for easy movement of the duck egg holder, preventing potential damage from moving the eggs and improving operational convenience.

[0020] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.
[0021] This application discloses a device for separating ducklings.
[0022] Please see Figure 1 A separation device for ducklings includes an incubator shell 1, a conveyor belt 2 inside the incubator shell 1, and a separation component 3 on the top of the conveyor belt 2.
[0023] Please see Figures 2 to 4The separation component 3 includes a first guide plate 306, a second guide plate 307, a transverse partition 308, a longitudinal partition 309, and a larva separation port 310. The first guide plate 306 is fixedly installed inside the incubator shell 1. The bottom of the first guide plate 306 is fixedly connected to the second guide plate 307. The transverse partition 308 is fixedly connected to one side of the second guide plate 307. The bottom of the transverse partition 308 is fixedly connected to the longitudinal partition 309. The larva separation port 310 is provided at the connection between the longitudinal partition 309 and the incubator shell 1 and the conveyor belt 2. The larva separation port 310 is located on the side of the incubator shell 1.
[0024] The separation assembly 3 also includes a sealing top cover 301, a servo motor 302, a spiral telescopic rod 303, a heating plate 304, and a duck egg placement seat 305. The sealing top cover 301 is fixedly installed on the top of the incubator shell 1 by bolts. The servo motor 302 is fixedly installed on the top of the sealing top cover 301. The output end of the servo motor 302 is fixedly connected to the spiral telescopic rod 303. The heating plate 304 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the spiral telescopic rod 303. The duck egg placement seat 305 is provided at the bottom of the heating plate 304. The duck egg placement seat 305 is fixedly installed on the top of the second guide plate 307.
[0025] The sealed top cover 301, the incubator shell 1, the first guide plate 306 and the second guide plate 307 together divide the internal cavity of the incubator shell 1 into an incubation chamber at the top and a separation chamber at the bottom. The temperature of the incubation chamber is higher than that of the separation chamber. The heating plate 304 is movably disposed in the incubation chamber.
[0026] The juvenile separation port 310 is symmetrically arranged in pairs, and the juvenile separation port 310, together with the second guide plate 307 and the transverse partition 308, forms a channel to guide the ducklings from the incubation room to the conveyor belt 2. The height of the second guide plate 307, the transverse partition 308 and the longitudinal partition 309 is twice the height of the ducklings.
[0027] The surface of the duck egg holder 305 is provided with an elastic buffer layer, and its bottom is movably connected to the second guide plate 307 via a slide rail.
[0028] The transverse partition 308 and the longitudinal partition 309 are made of insulating material with a thermal conductivity of less than 10 W / m·K.
[0029] Further explanation is needed:
[0030] During the incubation stage, the separation component 3 creates ideal conditions for duck egg incubation. The sealed top cover 301 is installed on the top of the incubator shell 1, effectively preventing heat loss and creating a stable environment for incubation. The servo motor 302 drives the spiral telescopic rod 303, which can precisely control the height of the heating plate 304, thereby flexibly adjusting the temperature in the incubation chamber to meet the incubation needs of different breeds of meat duck eggs. The elastic buffer layer on the surface of the duck egg placement seat 305 can prevent the duck eggs from being damaged by collisions during placement. Its bottom is connected to the second guide plate 307 through a slide rail, which makes it easy for staff to adjust the position of the duck eggs and ensures the smooth progress of the incubation process. These designs work together to significantly improve the success rate of duck egg incubation.
[0031] During the separation stage, the separation component 3 achieves efficient separation of ducklings from the incubation environment. The first guide plate 306, the second guide plate 307, the transverse partition 308, the longitudinal partition 309, and the juvenile separation port 310 together form a guide channel. Utilizing the temperature difference between the incubation chamber and the separation chamber, the juveniles are guided to fall naturally from the incubation chamber onto the conveyor belt 2. The juvenile separation ports 310 are symmetrically arranged to ensure orderly separation of the juveniles and avoid crowding and chaos. The partitions are made of heat-insulating materials, which reduces heat transfer between the two chambers, reduces the temperature difference stimulation to the juveniles, and protects their health. At the same time, the height of the partition is twice the height of the juveniles, providing them with ample space, reducing their stress response, and promoting their subsequent growth and development.
[0032] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:
[0033] First, the operator places the duck eggs on the egg placement seat 305. The elastic buffer layer on the surface of the egg placement seat 305 can protect the duck eggs from damage. Then, the sealing top cover 301 is fixed to the top of the incubator shell 1 with bolts, so that the incubator forms a relatively closed space. The servo motor 302 is started, and the servo motor 302 drives the spiral telescopic rod 303 to extend and retract, which moves the heating plate 304 to a suitable position, and begins to provide a suitable incubation temperature for the incubation room, creating good environmental conditions for the incubation of duck eggs.
[0034] Secondly, the sealed top cover 301, the outer shell of the incubator 1, the first guide plate 306 and the second guide plate 307 divide the internal cavity of the incubator into an incubation chamber at the top and a separation chamber at the bottom. The temperature of the incubation chamber is higher than that of the separation chamber. The heating plate 304 works continuously to keep the temperature inside the incubation chamber stable and meet the heat required for the incubation of duck eggs. In this relatively stable and warm environment, the duck eggs begin to incubate gradually, and the embryos continue to develop and grow.
[0035] Next, after the ducklings have successfully hatched, due to the higher temperature in the incubation room and the relatively lower temperature in the separation room, the ducklings will naturally move towards the lower temperature direction. The first guide plate 306 and the second guide plate 307 provide guidance for the movement of the ducklings, prompting them to move towards the area where the transverse partition 308 and the longitudinal partition 309 are located.
[0036] Next, the cubs are guided to the cub separation port 310. The passage formed by the second guide plate 307, the horizontal partition 308 and the vertical partition 309 allows the cubs to fall smoothly from the incubation chamber onto the conveyor belt 2 below. The cub separation ports 310 are set symmetrically in pairs to ensure the orderly separation of the cubs and avoid crowding and chaos among them.
[0037] Finally, after the ducklings fall onto conveyor belt 2, conveyor belt 2 starts running, transporting the ducklings to a designated location for subsequent collection, breeding, and other operations. The entire process of hatching and separating the ducklings is completed, and the equipment can proceed to the next round of hatching and separation.
[0038] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
