Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of poultry farming technology, and in particular to an egg-catching cage net. Background Technology

[0002] Egg-catching cages are devices used in poultry farming to automatically collect eggs. They typically consist of sloping mesh or plastic ramps and are installed at the bottom or front of the cage. The design utilizes the slope to allow eggs to roll into the collection trough or conveyor belt, reducing the frequency of manual egg collection. Separators and cushioning structures also reduce the risk of breakage or egg entrapment caused by rolling collisions.

[0003] In the cages, the sloping mesh ramps at the bottom allow eggs to roll into the egg collection trough. However, due to the narrow gaps in the mesh, chicken droppings, feather fragments, and feed residue easily accumulate on the mesh surface, forming a sticky layer of grime. As the eggs roll along the ramps, the grime not only increases friction but also clumps together on the eggshells, causing the eggs to stop midway or even get stuck in the mesh or side wall gaps. Workers have to frequently bend over and reach in to retrieve the stuck eggs, which, with the shells covered in grime, reduces their market value and requires additional manual sorting. The long-term accumulation of grime also accelerates the aging and deformation of the metal mesh, creating uneven "trap zones" that further increase the probability of eggs getting stuck. This vicious cycle leads to a simultaneous increase in maintenance costs.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides an anti-jamming egg cage net to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an egg cage net that prevents eggs from getting stuck, and to solve the problems of existing cage nets where dirt on the mesh ramp surface hinders the rolling of eggs and the inability to clean the surface dirt at the same time.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an anti-jamming egg cage net, including a cage net, a receiving net with a lower front and higher back set below the cage net, the rear end of the receiving net being connected to the rear end of the cage net through an arc-shaped bending structure, and an arc-shaped egg collection groove set at the front end of the receiving net for collecting eggs that roll down along the receiving net.

[0007] Limiting rods are set on both sides of the receiving net along the rolling direction of the eggs. Anti-egg jamming components are set on the limiting rods. The anti-egg jamming components include an arc-shaped plate that moves back and forth along the receiving net. A brush is set at the bottom of the arc-shaped plate. The brush sweeps the jammed eggs, causing them to roll into the egg collection tank, and simultaneously cleans the dirt on the surface of the receiving net.

[0008] A further improvement of the present invention is that the anti-egg-jamming component includes an arc-shaped plate disposed above the receiving net, the extension direction of the arc-shaped plate being perpendicular to the rolling direction of the egg, an installation strip being disposed on the back of the arc-shaped plate, a connecting rod being disposed through the installation strip, and a limiting ring being disposed at both ends of the connecting rod, the limiting ring being sleeved on the limiting rod.

[0009] A further improvement of this utility model is that baffles are respectively provided on both sides of the arc-shaped plate corresponding to the receiving net. The baffles are used to prevent the eggs from falling from both sides. The receiving net is protruding from both ends of the arc-shaped plate, making it convenient for workers to hold and move it.

[0010] A further improvement of this utility model is that the receiving net is composed of multiple guide rods spliced ​​together along the rolling direction of the egg, and a relatively vertical reinforcing rod is provided at the bottom of the guide rod.

[0011] A further improvement of this utility model is that the diameter of the guide rod is 2 to 3 mm, and the distance between adjacent guide rods is 40 mm.

[0012] A further improvement to the technical solution of this utility model is that the slope of the receiving net is 5 to 10°.

[0013] A further improvement to this utility model is that the vertical distance between the bottom of the cage net and the receiving net is 3 to 5 cm.

[0014] A further improvement of this utility model is that a cage door is provided on the cage net, and the horizontal mesh spacing at the bottom of the cage net is 45 to 50 mm, which is used to guide the eggs through and into the receiving net.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This utility model provides an anti-egg-jamming cage net, which helps prevent eggs from getting stuck: By manually moving either end of the arc-shaped plate, the arc-shaped plate can be moved back and forth along the receiving net. A brush is set at the bottom of the arc-shaped plate. The brush sweeps the stuck eggs and makes them roll into the egg collection trough, preventing the eggs from getting stuck. The arc-shaped bending structure of the receiving net and the guide rod spacing are designed to be 40mm to ensure that the eggs roll smoothly along the preset path. The vertical distance between the bottom of the cage net and the receiving net is 3 to 5cm and the slope is 5 to 10° to accurately match the physical characteristics of the eggs, avoiding damage caused by free fall impact or excessive rolling speed.

[0017] 2. The egg-catching cage net provided by this utility model is conducive to simultaneous cleaning of dirt and improvement of hygiene: when the brush of the egg-catching component sweeps away the stuck eggs, it simultaneously scrapes away the dirt such as chicken droppings and feathers accumulated on the surface of the receiving net, solving the problem of increased friction and bacterial growth from the source; the guide rod has a diameter of 2 to 3 mm, which on the one hand reduces the friction of the contact surface with the eggs, allowing the eggs to roll effectively and reducing the risk of eggs getting stuck, and on the other hand ensures the efficiency of dirt falling off, reducing the frequency of manual cleaning.

[0018] 3. The anti-egg-trapping cage net provided by this utility model is conducive to convenient operation: the gripping parts and the sliding structure of the limiting rings protruding at both ends of the arc plate allow the staff to move the brush for local cleaning or fault intervention; the splicing structure of the reinforcing rod and the guide rod enhances the durability of the supporting net, avoids the formation of "trap areas" caused by the deformation of the traditional net surface, and reduces the probability of eggs getting stuck.

[0030] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0031] like Figures 1-6As shown, this embodiment provides an anti-egg-jamming cage net, including a cage net 1. A receiving net 2, which is lower at the front and higher at the back, is located below the cage net 1. The rear end of the receiving net 2 is connected to the rear end of the cage net 1 via an arc-shaped bending structure. An arc-shaped egg-collecting groove 3 is located at the front end of the receiving net 2. The egg-collecting groove 3 collects eggs rolling down the receiving net 2. The arc-shaped inner wall of the egg-collecting groove 3 buffers the impact of the eggs, facilitating batch transfer after collection. The receiving net 2 is composed of multiple guide rods 21 spliced ​​together along the rolling direction of the eggs. A relatively vertical reinforcing rod 22 is located at the bottom of each guide rod 21. The guide rods 21 have a diameter of 2 to 3 mm, which reduces friction on the contact surface with the eggs, allowing the eggs to roll effectively and reducing the risk of egg jamming. It also ensures efficient disposal of dirt, reducing the frequency of manual cleaning. The spacing between adjacent guide rods 21 is 40 mm. The guide rods 21 are spliced ​​together to form the main structure of the receiving net 2, and their parallel arrangement forms a rolling channel, guiding the eggs in a directional manner. The receiving net 2 has a slope of 5 to 10 degrees. The inclined ramp guides the eggs to roll along the guide rod 21 to the egg collection trough 3, and allows chicken droppings and other waste to fall through the gaps in the guide rod 21, preventing surface residue. The vertical distance between the bottom of the cage net 1 and the receiving net 2 is 3 to 5 cm. A cage door is provided on the cage net 1, and the horizontal mesh spacing at the bottom of the cage net 1 is 45 to 50 mm, used to guide the eggs through and into the receiving net 2.

[0032] like Figures 2-5 As shown, in this embodiment, limiting rods 4 are respectively provided on both sides of the receiving net 2 along the rolling direction of the eggs. An anti-egg-jamming component 5 is provided on the limiting rods 4. The anti-egg-jamming component 5 includes an arc-shaped plate 51 that moves back and forth along the receiving net 2. A brush 52 is provided at the bottom of the arc-shaped plate 51. The arc-shaped plate 51 is the main structure supporting the brush 52, and its arc curvature adapts to the surface of the receiving net 2, ensuring that the brush 52 contacts the full width of the rolling track. The arc design of the arc-shaped plate 51 avoids hard scratching and damage to the eggshell, while conforming to the gap of the guide rod 21 to improve cleaning efficiency. The brush 52 directly contacts the surface of the rolling track, sweeping away stuck eggs and removing attached dirt. The brush 52 has soft nylon bristles, balancing cleaning power and eggshell protection to avoid scratching. The brush 52 sweeps the stuck eggs, causing them to roll into the egg collection trough 3, and simultaneously cleans the dirt on the surface of the receiving net 2. By manually moving either end of the curved plate 51, the plate moves back and forth along the receiving net 2. A brush 52 is installed at the bottom of the curved plate 51, sweeping away any stuck eggs and causing them to roll into the egg collection trough 3, preventing the eggs from getting stuck. The curved bending structure of the receiving net 2 and the 40mm spacing of the guide rods 21 ensure that the eggs roll smoothly along the preset path. The vertical distance between the bottom of the cage net 1 and the receiving net 2 is 3 to 5cm, and the slope is 5 to 10°, precisely matching the physical characteristics of the eggs to avoid damage caused by free fall impact or excessive rolling speed. Sweeping the eggs simultaneously cleans dirt and improves hygiene. While sweeping away stuck eggs, the brush 52 of the anti-jamming component 5 simultaneously scrapes away accumulated chicken droppings, feathers, and other dirt on the surface of the receiving net 2, solving the problem of increased friction and bacterial growth from the source.

[0033] like Figures 2-6 As shown, in this embodiment, the anti-egg-trapping component 5 includes an arc-shaped plate 51 disposed above the receiving net 2. The extension direction of the arc-shaped plate 51 is perpendicular to the rolling direction of the egg. An installation strip 53 is provided on the back of the arc-shaped plate 51, and a connecting rod 54 is inserted through the installation strip 53. Limiting rings 55 are respectively provided at both ends of the connecting rod 54, and the limiting rings 55 are sleeved on the limiting rod 4. Baffles 56 are respectively provided on both sides of the arc-shaped plate 51 corresponding to the receiving net 2. The baffles 56 are used to prevent the egg from falling from both sides. The two ends of the arc-shaped plate 51 protrude from the receiving net 2, making it convenient for workers to hold and move. The gripping part formed by the protruding two ends of the arc-shaped plate 51 and the sliding structure of the limiting rings 55 allow workers to move the brush 52 for local cleaning or fault intervention. The splicing structure of the reinforcing rod 22 and the guide rod 21 enhances the durability of the receiving net 2, avoids the formation of "trap areas" caused by the deformation of the traditional net surface, and reduces the probability of egg-trapping.

[0034] This utility model also provides a working principle for an anti-jamming egg cage net:

[0035] During the use of the anti-jamming egg cage net, after the hen lays eggs, the eggs fall vertically through the horizontal mesh of the bottom of the cage net 1 (45 to 50 mm) to the receiving net 2 (inclined at 5 to 10 degrees). The vertical drop of 3 to 5 cm, combined with the arc-shaped bending structure, buffers the impact. Then, the eggs naturally roll along the guide rods 21 with 40 mm intervals to the egg collection trough 3. If the eggs get stuck due to dirt accumulation or deviation, the staff can hold the protrusions at both ends of the anti-jamming egg component 5 and push the arc-shaped plate 51 along the limit rod 4. This will drive the bottom brush 52 to sweep away the stuck eggs and simultaneously scrape off chicken droppings and debris from the surface of the guide rods 21, allowing the eggs to continue rolling into the arc-shaped buffer zone of the egg collection trough 3. The dirt will fall through the gaps in the guide rods 21 to the bottom collection area. Finally, the staff will regularly clean the egg collection trough 3 and the dirt at the bottom, completing an efficient and low-loss automated egg collection process.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
