Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of chick hatching, specifically referring to an egg candling device for chick hatching. Background Technology

[0002] During the incubation of chicks, regular candling is necessary to monitor embryonic development. Traditional candling methods typically require removing the eggs from the incubator and then using a candler. This process is not only cumbersome, but the handling of the eggs can also cause significant temperature fluctuations in the egg's environment, potentially affecting normal embryonic development. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention mainly addresses the aforementioned technical problems.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: The egg candling device for chick incubation proposed by this utility model includes an incubation box and an egg candling device. The upper part of the incubation box is evenly provided with several through holes, and it also includes an incubation plate, a driving device and a support block.

[0005] The incubation board is fixed to the upper part of the incubation box, and the incubation board has an incubation slot that communicates with a through hole;

[0006] The drive device is located inside the incubator, and the drive device includes a movable frame that is slidably connected to the inside of the incubator.

[0007] The mobile frame is fixed with several support blocks, which are arranged one-to-one with the through holes.

[0008] Furthermore, the incubation board is made of soft insulating cotton.

[0009] Furthermore, the egg candler is fixed to the upper part of the movable frame and is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the support block and the through hole. The number of the incubation tank, the through hole, the support block and the egg candler are the same.

[0010] Furthermore, the driving device also includes a motor, a lead screw, and a guide rod. The motor is fixed to the outside of the incubator, the lead screw is rotatably located inside the incubator and passes through the incubator and the motor shaft, the guide rod is fixed to the inside of the incubator, the middle position of the movable frame is vertically threaded through by the lead screw, and the two sides of the movable frame are vertically slidably passed through by the guide rod.

[0011] Furthermore, a cotton pad is fixed on the upper part of the support block. The cotton pad is made of soft thermal insulation cotton and is slidably attached to the lower side of the through hole.

[0012] Furthermore, a number of limiting blocks are fixedly provided on the bottom inner side of the incubator, and the movable frame and the limiting blocks are arranged to move against each other.

[0013] Furthermore, heating elements are provided on both sides inside the incubator.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model by adopting the above structure are as follows:

[0015] 1. The egg candling device for chick incubation proposed in this solution is driven by a drive device to move the candling device below the through hole and irradiate the eggs above the candling device, thus avoiding the impact on the incubation environment temperature during the process of taking eggs out and putting them in, and ensuring the stability of embryo development.

[0016] 2. The egg candling device for chick incubation proposed in this solution uses soft insulating cotton for both the incubation board and the cotton pad. The cotton pad can seal the openings when not in the candling state, effectively reducing heat exchange between the inside and outside of the incubator and providing a stable insulating environment for the eggs.

[0017] 3. The egg candling device for chick incubation proposed in this solution uses a motor to drive a lead screw to rotate, thereby realizing the automated movement of the moving frame, which controls the position switching of the support block and the egg candling device. It is easy to operate, and each component is set up in a corresponding manner, which improves the efficiency of egg candling. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention proposes an egg candling device for hatching chicks, including an incubation box 1 and an egg candling device 5. The upper part of the incubation box 1 is evenly provided with several through holes 101. Heating elements 6 are provided on both sides of the inside of the incubation box 1 for adjusting the internal temperature of the incubation box 1. It also includes an incubation plate 2, a driving device 3 and support blocks 4. The incubation plate 2 is fixed to the upper part of the incubation box 1. The incubation plate 2 has an incubation groove 201 and communicates with the through holes 101. The incubation plate 2 is made of soft heat-insulating cotton. The driving device 3 is located inside the incubation box 1. The driving device 3 includes a moving frame 304. The moving frame 304 is slidably connected to the inside of the incubation box 1. Several support blocks 4 are fixed on the moving frame 304 and are arranged one-to-one with the through holes 101. A cotton pad 401 is fixed on the upper part of the support block 4. The cotton pad 401 is made of soft heat-insulating cotton and is slidably attached to the lower side of the through hole 101.

[0026] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the egg candler 5 is fixed on the upper part of the movable frame 304 and is arranged one-to-one with the support block 4 and the through hole 101. The number of incubation tank 201, through hole 101, support block 4 and egg candler 5 is the same. The driving device 3 also includes a motor 301, a lead screw 302 and a guide rod 303. The motor 301 is fixed on the outside of the incubator 1. The lead screw 302 is rotatably located on the inside of the incubator 1 and passes through the incubator 1 and the motor 301 shaft. The guide rod 303 is fixed on the inside of the incubator 1. The middle position of the movable frame 304 is vertically threaded through by the lead screw 302. The two sides of the movable frame 304 are vertically slidably passed through by the guide rod 303. Several limiting blocks 102 are fixed on the bottom of the inside of the incubator 1. The movable frame 304 and the limiting blocks 102 are movably abutted against each other to limit the movement position of the movable frame 304.

[0027] In practical use, the eggs to be incubated are placed in the incubation tank 201, and the eggs are kept in the environment required for incubation by the external heating spotlight. The cotton pad 401 at the initial position blocks the through hole 101 to support it and maintain the heat preservation effect of the incubation plate 2.

[0028] When it is necessary to use the egg candler 5 to observe the development of the egg embryo, firstly, start the heating element 6 to heat the air in the incubator 1 to the required temperature for incubation. Then, start the motor 301 to rotate the lead screw 302. Under the guidance of the guide rod 303, control the moving frame 304 to move the support block 4 and the egg candler 5 until the egg candler 5 is aligned directly below the through hole 101. The through hole 101 is designed with a diameter smaller than the diameter of the egg. Start the egg candler 5 to irradiate the egg from below, which facilitates quick and intuitive observation of the development of the egg embryo. After the observation is completed, start the motor 301 to reverse and control the moving frame 304 to move the support block 4 and the egg candler 5 until the cotton pad 401 slides to seal the lower part of the through hole 101, maintaining the heat preservation effect of the incubation plate 2.

[0029] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
