Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of egg collection technology, and in particular to an egg collection device for raising egg-laying chickens. Background Technology
[0002] In the large-scale breeding of laying hens, efficient and damage-free egg collection is a key link in ensuring production efficiency and hatching egg quality. Currently, most common egg collection devices adopt a structural design of ramp combined with conveyor belt: after the eggs are laid, they roll down the pre-set ramp by gravity and finally land on a horizontally or inclined conveyor belt, which then transports the eggs to the collection point.
[0003] When eggs roll down the ramp onto the conveyor belt, they have a large initial velocity and kinetic energy. The impact of free fall causes the eggs to be subjected to enormous force instantly. This impact is especially true for hatching eggs with relatively thin shells, which can easily cause the shells to develop tiny cracks or even crack open. Although some existing technologies attempt to add simple cushioning materials (such as thin rubber pads) at the point of impact, their cushioning effect is limited and they are difficult to effectively absorb and disperse the huge impact energy brought by the high-speed rolling of the eggs. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the problem that the impact force during the fall causes cracks in the eggshell, this utility model is proposed.
[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an egg collection device for breeding chickens, which aims to reduce the speed of the eggs rolling down by using negative pressure, reduce the impact force, and protect the eggs by using soft pads to prevent the eggshells from cracking.
[0006] To solve the above technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an egg collection device for breeding egg-laying chickens, including an installation chamber, a conveyor belt is rotatably installed inside the installation chamber, a deceleration component is installed on the top of the installation chamber near the chicken cage, and an anti-detachment component is installed on the top of the installation chamber away from the deceleration component.
[0007] The deceleration assembly includes a negative pressure chamber fixed on the installation chamber, and a negative pressure inlet is provided on one side of the negative pressure chamber. A negative pressure connecting pipe is fixed at the position of the negative pressure chamber opposite to the negative pressure inlet. A rubber downhill section is installed at the end of the negative pressure chamber near the anti-detachment assembly. Multiple negative pressure suction ports are provided on the top of the negative pressure chamber in a rectangular pattern.
[0008] As an improved technical solution, a soft pad is adhered to the top of the negative pressure chamber, and a connecting hole is opened on the soft pad directly above each negative pressure suction port, and the diameter of the connecting hole is the same as that of the negative pressure suction port.
[0009] As an improved technical solution, a soft pad strip is bonded to the side of the soft pad plate near the rubber downslope section, and the lower end of the soft pad strip is fixed to the upper surface of the rubber downslope section.
[0010] As an improved technical solution, a connecting pipe is fixed to the end of the negative pressure connecting pipe away from the negative pressure chamber, and the negative pressure inlet of the negative pressure pump is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting pipe away from the negative pressure connecting pipe.
[0011] As an improved technical solution, the anti-detachment component includes a pad strip fixed to the top of the installation chamber, with an upper rubber section bonded to the side of the pad strip near the lower rubber section, and a rubber baffle strip bonded to the top of the pad strip.
[0012] As an improved technical solution, synchronous rollers are installed on both sides inside the installation chamber, and a reduction gear assembly is installed between the two synchronous rollers. A servo motor for driving the synchronous rollers to rotate is installed on the end face of the installation chamber away from the reduction gear assembly.
[0013] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. In this utility model, when an egg falls through the rubber downhill section, it will land on the outer wall of the conveyor belt. The rubber uphill section serves two purposes: firstly, it confines the egg between the rubber downhill and uphill sections, concentrating the egg in a more central position; secondly, the uphill design reduces the impact force on the egg. The reciprocating downhill and uphill motion will eventually completely release the impact force of the falling egg. Furthermore, the rubber baffles prevent the egg from rushing out of the collection device.
[0015] 2. This utility model effectively reduces the rolling speed of eggs by applying negative pressure suction when the eggs fall onto the collection device, significantly reducing the momentum when the eggs impact the conveyor belt. Combined with a specially designed elastic soft pad as the contact surface, it can fully absorb and disperse the remaining impact energy. The deceleration and soft landing solves the industry pain point of eggs breaking due to high-speed impact in traditional inclined rolling collection devices, realizing the collection of eggs without damage and bringing significant economic benefits.

[0022] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] Example 1
[0024] Reference Figures 1-3 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides an egg collection device for breeding chickens. This egg collection device for breeding chickens includes an installation chamber 1, a conveyor belt 4 is rotatably installed inside the installation chamber 1, a deceleration component 2 is installed on the top of the installation chamber 1 and near the chicken cage, and an anti-detachment component 3 is installed on the top of the installation chamber 1 and away from the deceleration component 2.
[0025] The deceleration assembly 2 includes a negative pressure chamber 21 fixed on the mounting chamber 1, and a negative pressure inlet is provided on one side of the negative pressure chamber 21. A negative pressure connecting pipe 24 is fixed at the position of the negative pressure chamber 21 opposite to the negative pressure inlet. A rubber downhill section 23 is installed at the end of the negative pressure chamber 21 near the anti-detachment assembly 3. Multiple negative pressure suction ports 28 are provided on the top of the negative pressure chamber 21 in a rectangular pattern. The falling egg is adsorbed by the negative pressure suction. Although it cannot directly make the egg stay on the soft pad 22, it can reduce the speed of the egg's descent, thereby reducing the impact force of the egg falling.
[0026] A soft pad 22 is attached to the top of the negative pressure chamber 21. A connecting hole 27 is provided on the soft pad 22 directly above each negative pressure suction port 28. The diameter of the connecting hole 27 is the same as that of the negative pressure suction port 28. The egg falls directly onto the elastic soft pad 22 and directly onto the metal frame of the device, avoiding rigid collision. Furthermore, the egg-releasing end is at the same height as the top of the soft pad 22, avoiding height difference, which helps to prevent the eggshell from breaking.
[0027] A soft pad strip 29 is glued to the side of the soft pad plate 22 near the rubber down slope section 23, and the lower end of the soft pad strip 29 is fixed to the upper surface of the rubber down slope section 23. By setting the soft pad strip 29, the height difference between the soft pad plate 22 and the rubber down slope section 23 is avoided, so that the egg falls more gently onto the rubber down slope section 23, avoiding the egg from cracking due to the height difference.
[0028] A connecting pipe 25 is fixed to the end of the negative pressure connecting pipe 24 away from the negative pressure chamber 21, and the negative pressure inlet of the negative pressure pump 26 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting pipe 25 away from the negative pressure connecting pipe 24.
[0029] During use, when eggs fall onto the collection device, negative pressure suction acts on the eggs, effectively reducing their rolling speed and significantly decreasing their momentum when they impact the conveyor belt. Combined with specially designed elastic pads as contact surfaces, these pads can fully absorb and disperse the remaining impact energy. This deceleration and soft landing solves the industry pain point of eggs breaking due to high-speed impact in traditional inclined roll-down collection devices, achieving lossless egg collection and bringing significant economic benefits.
[0030] Example 2
[0031] Reference Figures 1-2 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the anti-detachment component 3 includes a pad 31 fixed to the top of the installation chamber 1. A rubber uphill section 33 is bonded to the side of the pad 31 near the rubber downhill section 23. A rubber baffle 32 is bonded to the top of the pad 31. Both the rubber downhill section 23 and the rubber uphill section 33 are not fixed to the conveyor belt 4. They are only located above the outer wall of the conveyor belt 4.
[0032] Synchronous rollers are installed on both sides inside the installation chamber 1, and the reduction assembly 2 is installed between the two synchronous rollers. A servo motor 5 for driving the synchronous rollers to rotate is installed on the end face of the installation chamber 1 away from the reduction assembly 2, and the driving end of the servo motor 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the synchronous roller.
[0033] During use, when the eggs fall through the rubber downhill section 23, they will land on the outer wall of the conveyor belt 4. The rubber uphill section 33 serves two purposes: firstly, it confines the eggs between the rubber downhill section 23 and the rubber uphill section 33, concentrating the eggs in a more central position; secondly, the uphill setting reduces the impact force on the eggs. The reciprocating downhill and uphill motion will eventually completely release the impact force of the falling eggs. Furthermore, the rubber baffle 32 prevents the eggs from rushing out of the collection device.
[0034] The remaining structure is the same as that in Example 1.
[0035] Based on embodiments 1-2, the working principle of this utility model is as follows: the mobile phone device is placed at the egg-laying end of the chicken coop, and the top of the soft pad 22 is at the same height as the egg-laying end. When the eggs fall onto the collecting device, the eggs fall directly onto the elastic soft pad 22.
[0036] When the egg passes over the soft pad 22, the negative pressure pump 26 generates negative pressure. The negative pressure suction enters the interior of the negative pressure chamber 21 through the connecting pipe 25 and the negative pressure connecting pipe 24, and finally the egg is suctioned by the negative pressure suction port 28 and the connecting hole 27. Although the negative pressure suction cannot directly make the egg stay on the soft pad 22, it can reduce the speed at which the egg falls.
[0037] The eggs then fall onto the conveyor belt 4 via the rubber downhill section 23;
[0038] 6 drives the conveyor belt 4 to rotate, transporting the eggs that fall onto the conveyor belt 4.
[0039] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
