Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of poultry farming equipment technology, specifically to a pigeon hatching auxiliary box. Background Technology

[0002] In the pigeon breeding industry, hatching is crucial, but traditional incubation methods suffer from low hatching rates in the low temperatures of winter, hindering the industry's development. Existing equipment generally uses localized heating technology, such as bottom heating plates or side wall heating pipes, resulting in extremely uneven temperature distribution within the enclosure—areas near the heat source become too hot, causing embryos to die from overheating; while areas far from the heat source become too cold, slowing down embryonic development.

[0003] Insufficient temperature control precision is another major drawback of existing technology. Most devices use open-loop control or simple proportional adjustment, which cannot respond quickly to environmental changes. When the outside temperature drops suddenly or the power of the heating element fluctuates, the temperature fluctuation range inside the cage often reaches ±2℃. Pigeon embryos are extremely sensitive to temperature. For example, if the temperature exceeds 38℃, the embryo's metabolism will be too fast, which may lead to hypoxia or exhaustion; if the temperature is below 37℃, it may prolong the hatching time and increase the risk of suffocation for the chicks. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pigeon hatching assistance box. This pigeon hatching assistance box uses a water film temperature equalization layer to buffer temperature fluctuations and eliminate temperature dead zones, creating a stable temperature environment for embryo development. At the same time, it can achieve precise and coordinated control of temperature and humidity, reducing damage to the embryo caused by improper temperature and humidity, and improving the hatching success rate of pigeons.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A pigeon hatching aid box includes an open container and a cover disposed on top of the open container and sealing the open container. Inside the open container, from bottom to top, there are a heating layer, a water film temperature equalization layer and a fixation layer. The heating layer is wrapped around the bottom and all sides of the water film temperature equalization layer. A humidifier is also disposed at the top inside the open container.

[0007] Preferably, the heating layer is an electric heating wire or electric heating film laid on the bottom and surrounding side walls of the open container.

[0008] Preferably, the water film temperature equalization layer is a sealed water storage bag that is sealed and filled on the heating layer, and the four sides and bottom of the sealed water storage bag are in close contact with the heating layer.

[0009] Preferably, the retention layer is a breathable hatching aid plate laid on top of the water film temperature equalization layer, and the hatching aid plate is provided with a plurality of retention grooves for placing pigeon fertilized eggs.

[0010] Preferably, a resistance temperature sensor is immersed inside the water film temperature equalization layer. The resistance temperature sensor is used to measure the temperature inside the water film temperature equalization layer and transmit the signal to the digital PID temperature controller.

[0011] Preferably, it also includes an independent control box disposed on the top of the side wall of the open container. The independent control box is provided with the digital PID temperature controller and a first relay. The input terminal of the digital PID temperature controller is electrically connected to the resistance temperature sensor, and the output terminal is electrically connected to the first relay. The output terminal of the first relay is electrically connected to the heating layer for controlling the power of the heating layer.

[0012] Preferably, the device also includes a humidity sensor disposed at the top of the open container, and a humidity controller and a second relay are provided in the independent control box. The input terminal of the humidity controller is electrically connected to the humidity sensor, and the output terminal is electrically connected to the second relay. The output terminal of the second relay is electrically connected to a humidifier for controlling the humidity inside the open container.

[0013] Preferably, the humidifier includes an ultrasonic atomizing head disposed on the top inner side of the open container and an independent water box fixed on the top outer side of the open container and disposed on the same side as the ultrasonic atomizing head. The independent water box is connected to the ultrasonic atomizing head through a water supply hose. The ultrasonic atomizing head is connected to the output terminal of the second relay to generate water mist to increase the humidity inside the open container.

[0014] Preferably, a temperature and humidity display and control unit is provided on the front of the open container. The temperature and humidity display and control unit is electrically connected to the digital PID temperature controller and the humidity controller, and is used to display the temperature and humidity in real time and set the temperature and humidity control parameters.

[0015] Preferably, the container also includes a ventilation and exhaust device disposed on the open container, the ventilation and exhaust device being openable or closed; the open container and the lid are rotatably connected by a hinge.

[0016] In the above technical solution, the heating layer uses electric heating wires or electric heating films laid on the bottom and surrounding side walls of the open container to provide a uniform heat source for the water film temperature uniform layer in a distributed heating manner. This changes the problem of uneven temperature caused by traditional local heating and reduces embryonic development abnormalities caused by temperature differences from the root.

[0017] By setting up a water film temperature equalization layer as a sealed water storage bag filled on top of the heating layer, with the sides and bottom of the sealed water storage bag in close contact with the heating layer, the high specific heat capacity of water is utilized to ensure uniform heat diffusion, eliminating temperature differences and localized overheating within the open container. During the heating process, the water absorbs heat and diffuses it evenly throughout the entire water film temperature equalization layer through convection, eliminating temperature dead zones. When the external temperature changes or the heating layer power fluctuates, the water can slowly release or absorb heat, controlling the temperature difference within the open container within a minimal range. This creates a stable and uniform temperature environment for embryonic development, avoiding adverse effects on the development of critical organs such as the embryo's heart and nervous system caused by sudden temperature changes.

[0018] By setting up a hatching aid plate with a retaining layer and several retaining grooves on it, fertilized pigeon eggs are stably placed, preventing damage to the embryo due to egg rolling during hatching. A digital PID temperature controller and a first relay, electrically connected to a resistance temperature sensor, are installed in a separate control box, enabling precise control of the heating layer power. Based on the water film temperature signal fed back by the resistance temperature sensor, the digital PID temperature controller quickly and accurately adjusts the heating layer power via the first relay, ensuring the temperature inside the hatching aid box remains stable within the set range.

[0019] A complete humidity-coordinated control system was constructed by setting up a humidity sensor, humidity controller, second relay, and humidifier. The humidity sensor monitors the humidity inside the open container in real time and transmits the signal to the humidity controller. When the humidity is lower than the set value, the humidity controller activates the ultrasonic atomizing head through the second relay. Water from the independent water box is delivered to the ultrasonic atomizing head through the water supply hose to generate micron-level water mist, uniformly increasing the humidity inside the hatching aid box. When the temperature is abnormal, the digital PID temperature controller can adjust the heating layer power, achieving precise coordinated control of temperature and humidity, reducing damage to the embryos caused by improper temperature and humidity, and improving the hatching success rate of pigeons.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a pigeon hatching assistance box includes an open container 1 and a cover 2 that is disposed on top of the open container 1 and seals the open container 1. The open container 1 and the cover 2 are rotatably connected by a hinge 21. This connection method facilitates the operator to perform maintenance, cleaning, placement and removal of pigeon fertilized eggs and other operations on the equipment inside the open container 1, thereby improving the ease of use and maintenance efficiency of the hatching assistance box.

[0028] Inside the open container 1, from bottom to top, there are a heating layer 3, a water film temperature equalization layer 4, and a fixation layer 5. The heating layer 3 is glued to the inside of the open container 1 and covers the bottom and sides of the water film temperature equalization layer 4. The heating layer 3 uses electric heating wires or electric heating films laid on the bottom and side walls of the open container 1 to provide a uniform heat source for the water film temperature equalization layer 4 in a distributed heating manner. This changes the problem of uneven temperature caused by traditional local heating and reduces the abnormal embryo development caused by temperature differences from the root.

[0029] The water film temperature equalization layer 4 is a sealed water storage bag filled on top of the heating layer 3. The sealed water storage bag is in close contact with the heating layer 3 on all sides and bottom. Utilizing the high specific heat capacity of water, heat is evenly diffused, eliminating temperature differences and localized overheating within the open container 1. During the heating process, water absorbs heat and evenly diffuses it throughout the entire water film temperature equalization layer 4 through convection, eliminating temperature dead zones. When the external temperature changes or the power of the heating layer 3 fluctuates, the water can slowly release or absorb heat, keeping the temperature difference within the open container 1 within a very small range. This creates a stable and uniform temperature environment for the development of pigeon embryos, avoiding adverse effects on the development of critical organs such as the embryo's heart and nervous system caused by sudden temperature changes.

[0030] The holding layer 5 is a breathable hatching aid plate laid above the water film temperature equalization layer 4. The hatching aid plate fits snugly against the bottom of the open container 1, preventing displacement when inside the container. Several holding grooves 51 are provided on the hatching aid plate to hold the fertilized pigeon eggs, preventing damage to the embryo due to egg rolling during hatching. The hatching aid plate placed above the heating layer 3 around the open container 1 does not have holding grooves 51 to prevent the fertilized pigeon eggs from directly contacting the heating layer 3 through the hatching aid plate, which could affect the hatching effect.

[0031] A resistance temperature sensor 7 is immersed inside the water film temperature equalization layer 4 to measure the temperature inside the water film temperature equalization layer 4. An independent control box 6 is located on the top of the outer wall of the open container 1. The independent control box 6 contains a digital PID temperature controller 61 and a first relay 62, which is a solid-state relay. The input terminal of the digital PID temperature controller 61 is electrically connected to the resistance temperature sensor 7, and the output terminal is electrically connected to the first relay 62. The output terminal of the first relay 62 is electrically connected to the heating layer 3 to control the power of the heating layer 3. The housing of the resistance temperature sensor 7 is made of waterproof sealing material to prevent water from the water film temperature equalization layer 4 from entering the resistance temperature sensor 7 and affecting it. A waterproof connector 41 is located at the top center of the water film temperature equalization layer 4. The lead wire of the resistance temperature sensor 7 is connected to the waterproof connector 41 and then to the digital PID temperature controller 61 through the waterproof connector to achieve accurate measurement of the temperature inside the water film temperature equalization layer 4.

[0032] A humidifier and a humidity sensor 83 are also installed at the top of the open container 1. The humidifier includes an ultrasonic atomizing head 81 installed on the top of the inner wall of the open container 1 and an independent water box 82 fixed on the top of the outer wall of the open container 1 and located on the same side as the ultrasonic atomizing head 81. The independent water box 82 is connected to the ultrasonic atomizing head 81 via a water supply hose. A humidity controller 63 and a second relay 64 are also installed in the independent control box 6. The second relay 64 is an electromagnetic relay. The input terminal of the humidity controller 63 is electrically connected to the humidity sensor 83, and the output terminal is electrically connected to the second relay 64. The output terminal of the second relay 64 is electrically connected to the ultrasonic atomizing head 81 of the humidifier, used to control the humidity inside the hatching auxiliary box. A temperature and humidity display control unit 11 is installed on the front of the open container 1. The temperature and humidity display control unit 11 is electrically connected to the digital PID temperature controller 61 and the humidity controller 63, used to display the temperature and humidity in real time and set the control parameters of temperature and humidity. Operators can view the temperature and humidity data inside the hatching auxiliary box in real time and flexibly set the control parameters of temperature and humidity according to actual needs, making the hatching process more intelligent and user-friendly.

[0033] In the above technical solution, a resistance temperature sensor 7 immersed in the water film temperature equalization layer 4 detects the water temperature in real time and transmits the signal to a digital PID temperature controller 61. The digital PID temperature controller 61 compares the measured value with the set value and outputs a control signal to the first relay 62, which precisely adjusts the power of the heating layer 3. This process is responsive and can stabilize the water temperature within 0.1 degrees Celsius above and below the set value. The humidity sensor 83 monitors the humidity inside the open container 1 in real time and transmits the signal to the humidity controller 63. When the humidity is lower than the set value, the humidity controller 63 activates the ultrasonic atomizing head 81 through the second relay 64. Water from the independent water box 82 is delivered to the ultrasonic atomizing head 81 through the water supply hose to generate micron-level water mist, uniformly increasing the humidity inside the open container 1. Through precise coordinated control of temperature and humidity, the hatching environment of pigeon fertilized eggs is maintained in the most suitable physiological range for the embryo, reducing the damage to the embryo caused by heat stress and dehydration, and improving the hatching quality.

[0034] In this embodiment, a first through hole 65 and a second through hole 66 are provided on the side wall of the open container 1. The first through hole 65 is provided on the side wall of the open container 1 at the location of the independent control box 6, and is used to allow the wiring connected to the independent control box 6 to pass through. The second through hole 66 is provided on the side wall of the open container 1 at the location of the top of the independent water box 82, and is used to allow the water supply hose to pass through.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, a ventilation and exhaust device 9 is provided on the side or rear of the top of the open container 1. In this embodiment, the ventilation and exhaust device 9 is located at the rear of the top of the open container 1. The ventilation and exhaust device 9 includes a baffle plate 91. Specifically, three openings 92 are provided on the top of the open container 1, and these three openings 92 are evenly arranged in a circumferential direction. A baffle plate 91 is provided at the position corresponding to the openings 92. The baffle plate 91 is composed of three blades 93 corresponding to the three openings 92, and these three blades 93 can completely cover the openings 92. The center position of the baffle plate 91 is fixedly connected to the center position of the three openings 92 by a rotating shaft 94. In this way, when the baffle plate 91 is turned by hand, it can be rotated to a position offset from the openings 92, thereby realizing the ventilation operation inside the open container 1. When some chicks have hatched, this method can be used to provide ventilation for the hatched chicks. In addition, in this embodiment, one of the blades 93 is provided with a positioning post 95. When the blade 93 rotates to completely cover the opening 92, the positioning post 95 contacts the side wall of the opening 92, preventing the blocking piece 91 from continuing to rotate, thereby achieving a seal inside the open container 1.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, an observation window 12 is provided on the front of the open container 1 for observing the hatching of the fertilized pigeon eggs inside the open container 1.

[0037] When using the container, first open the lid 2 and place the fertilized pigeon eggs one by one into the retention groove 51 to prevent damage to the embryos due to rolling during hatching. After placing the fertilized eggs, close the lid 2 to create a sealed environment in the open container 1.

[0038] After power is supplied, the target temperature and humidity are controlled by the temperature and humidity display and control unit 11. In this application, the target temperature is set to 37.65 degrees Celsius and the target humidity is 67.5%RH. At this time, the heating layer 3 starts to work. The resistance temperature sensor 7, which is immersed in the water film temperature equalization layer 4, measures the temperature inside the water film temperature equalization layer 4 in real time and transmits the temperature signal to the digital PID temperature controller 61. The digital PID temperature controller 61 compares the received temperature signal with the set temperature value and adjusts the power of the heating layer 3 quickly and accurately through the first relay 62. If the current temperature is lower than the set value, the digital PID temperature controller 61 will increase the power of the heating layer 3 to generate more heat; if the current temperature is higher than the set value, it will decrease the power of the heating layer 3, thereby stabilizing the temperature inside the open container 1 within the set range and ensuring the suitable temperature required for embryo development.

[0039] Meanwhile, a humidity sensor 83, located at the top of the open container 1, monitors the humidity inside the hatching auxiliary box in real time and transmits the humidity signal to the humidity controller 63. When the humidity is lower than the set value, the humidity controller 63 activates the ultrasonic atomizing head 81 via the second relay 64. Water from the independent water box 82 is supplied to the ultrasonic atomizing head 81 via a water supply hose, and the ultrasonic atomizing head 81 generates micron-level water mist, uniformly increasing the humidity inside the open container 1. When the humidity inside the open container 1 reaches the set value, the humidity controller 63 stops the operation of the ultrasonic atomizing head 81 via the second relay 64, thereby achieving precise control of the humidity inside the open container 1.

[0040] During the hatching process, operators can view the temperature and humidity data inside the open container 1 in real time through the temperature and humidity display and control unit 11 located on the front of the open container 1. The temperature and humidity display and control unit 11 is electrically connected to the digital PID temperature controller 61 and the humidity controller 63. Operators can also flexibly set the temperature and humidity control parameters on the temperature and humidity display and control unit 11 according to actual needs, making the hatching process more intelligent.

[0041] When the incubation period ends, open the cover 2 again and take out the chicks from the holding slot 51, thus completing the hatching process of the pigeons.

[0042] This embodiment is merely an illustration of the concept and implementation of this utility model, and is not intended to limit it. Under the concept of this utility model, the technical solution without substantial changes is still within the protection scope.
