Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aquaculture technology, specifically relating to a light intensity adjustment device for laying hen farming. Background Technology

[0002] Egg-laying hen farming is a crucial part of the livestock industry. Scientific and healthy feeding of egg-laying hens can improve egg production and egg quality. From the perspective of egg production rate, scientific switching of light colors can stabilize and further enhance egg production. The optimal light color differs between the early and peak egg production periods. Switching from green to red light in the early stages of egg production can stimulate further development of the gonads and promote follicle maturation. During peak egg production, switching between red light and short-term blue light can alleviate stress in egg-laying hens, regulate hormone balance, and maintain a stable high egg production rate.

[0003] The current method for switching lighting colors in chicken coops is to install multiple sets of lights that emit different colors. By controlling the activation of different lights, different lighting colors can be switched. However, the lights are generally installed high on the ceiling of the chicken coop, and the installation space itself is limited. In order to arrange the lights of different colors in a reasonable way, it may be necessary to sacrifice the number of lights of each color. Even if each light is turned on at maximum power, there may still be insufficient numbers, which will affect the lighting intensity. In addition, the arrangement of multiple colored lights is also relatively expensive.

[0004] Alternatively, you can directly install lighting with switchable light colors; however, since the lighting in the chicken coop needs to be on continuously for a long time, its lifespan is greatly shortened, and the lighting needs to be replaced more frequently; and the cost of lighting with switchable light colors is higher than that of ordinary incandescent or LED lights, and its use as a consumable will increase the cost of breeding. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides a light intensity adjustment device for egg-laying hen farming.

Detailed Implementation

[0041] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, a light intensity adjustment device for laying hen farming includes: a box 401, the box 401 has a hollow interior structure, and a light diffuser 403 is opened on the bottom surface of the box 401. The size of the light diffuser 403 is not limited and can be designed according to the shape and size of the lighting lamp and the lighting requirements.

[0044] like Figure 3As shown, an inspection opening is centrally located on the upper surface of the enclosure 401. The purpose of this inspection opening is to inspect and replace the components inside the enclosure 401. A cover 402 is installed on the inspection opening for sealing. Figure 3 As shown, the upper cover 402 has a bolt at each of the four corners to connect and fix the upper cover 402 to the upper surface of the box 401.

[0045] like Figure 6 As shown, at least one set of lighting lamps 404 is installed inside the housing 401, and the light emitted by the lighting lamps 404 can be emitted from the diffuser opening 403 on the bottom surface of the housing 401; as Figure 5 As shown, both ends of each lighting lamp 404 are detachably plugged into the electrode connector 4041. The two sets of electrode connectors 4041 are respectively disposed on the left and right inner walls of the housing 401. The electrode connectors 4041 are electrically connected to the power module disposed inside the housing 401. The power module provides lighting power to the lighting lamp 404 through the power connector 4041. The lighting lamp 404 is an existing module in the lighting circuit and can be directly purchased and used with a matching model. This embodiment provides the following example of the specific component composition of the optional power module.

[0046] For example, the power module includes: a switch controller, an inductor, a switching component, a feedback resistor, an input filter component, and an output filter component; those skilled in the art can assemble the above components into a complete power module based on existing technology and common knowledge.

[0047] For example, based on the power supply module described above, an input overvoltage / undervoltage protection circuit and overcurrent protection can also be provided to prevent the lighting lamp 404 from being damaged due to overvoltage or undervoltage.

[0048] Laying hens require different light intensities at different growth stages, so the light intensity of the lighting lamp 404 needs to be adjusted; this embodiment sets up a dimming module to control the light intensity of the lighting lamp 404;

[0049] The dimming module is a prior art known to those skilled in the art, and typically employs silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) dimming, triangular wave dimming, and PWM dimming. Those skilled in the art can select the dimming method according to the actual application and connect the dimming circuit to the lighting circuit.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, to achieve automatic control of light intensity, a microprocessor is also provided inside the housing 401. The output of the microprocessor is connected to the input of the dimming module, and the input of the microprocessor is remotely connected to a control terminal. The control terminal can be set as a mobile phone or terminal remote control. Based on Bluetooth or wireless network transmission technology, the light intensity level can be directly adjusted on the control terminal. The control command signal is transmitted to the microprocessor via Bluetooth or wireless network. After receiving the control signal, the microprocessor sends a control command to the dimming module. After the dimming module responds, it can adjust the light intensity.

[0051] In the process of egg-laying hen farming, hens adapt to different light colors during the early and peak egg-laying periods. Switching the light color from green to red can stimulate the gonadal development of hens in the early egg-laying period and promote follicle maturation. During the peak egg-laying period, switching between red and blue light can alleviate the stress response of hens, regulate the hormone balance of hens, and maintain a stable high egg production rate.

[0052] Currently, in the process of egg-laying hen farming, the way to achieve the switching of light color is to set up multiple sets of lighting lamps with different colors or to directly use color-changing lighting lamps. In the chicken house, the lighting lamps need to be turned on for a long time, and the high load operation makes them very easy to be damaged. As consumables, they need to be replaced frequently. Therefore, no matter which method is used, it will increase the cost of replacing and using lighting lamp consumables.

[0053] In this embodiment, a transmission module is set inside the housing 401. The transmission module drives the transparent color sheet 405 to move. The sunlight emitted by ordinary LED lighting lamps can be changed into a light color that matches the color of the transparent color sheet after passing through the transparent color sheet 405.

[0054] The transmission module includes: a motor 408, a driving shaft roller 406, and a driven shaft roller 407; for example... Figure 6 As shown, the active rotating shaft roller 406 and the driven rotating shaft roller 407 are respectively arranged near the front and rear ends of the housing 401. The first end of the rotating shaft rod is provided at the axis of both ends of the active rotating shaft roller 406 and the driven rotating shaft roller 407, and the second end of the rotating shaft rod is detachably rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the housing 401. The active rotating shaft roller 406 and the driven rotating shaft roller 407 are rotatably connected to the housing 401 through the rotating shaft rod, and the active rotating shaft roller 406 and the driven rotating shaft roller 407 have rotational mobility.

[0055] The transparent color sheet 405 is disposed on the active rotating shaft roller 406 and the driven rotating shaft roller 407, and the transparent color sheet 405 is always kept in a taut state; when the motor 408 drives the active rotating shaft roller 406 to rotate, the transparent color sheet 405 begins to drive.

[0056] Transparent color filter 405 must be provided with at least two colors, such as Figure 8As shown, in this embodiment, two colors are set on the transparent color sheet 405, each color occupying 1 / 2 of the entire transparent color sheet 405; the lighting lamp 404 is located between the transparent color sheets 405; the length and width of the transparent color sheet 405 are always greater than the length and width of the diffuser 403; when the transparent color sheet 405 is moved to the position of the first color below the lighting lamp 404, the lighting color is the first color; as the transparent color sheet 405 is moved, when it is moved to the position of the second color below the lighting lamp 404, the lighting color switches to the second color.

[0057] In a preferred embodiment, in order to fix the transmission position of the transparent color sheet 405 and achieve accurate color switching without manual switching, a stepper motor or servo motor is selected and its fixed rotation speed and rotation step angle are set so that the motor 408 completes one rotation and transmits one color on the transparent color sheet 405 to the area below the lighting lamp 404.

[0058] In a preferred embodiment, the lighting time in the chicken house needs to be controlled, as excessively long or short lighting durations will affect the egg production rate of laying hens. The automatic on / off switching of the lighting lamp 404 at a set time helps to accurately control the lighting duration. A timer is set to control the automatic on / off switching of the lighting lamp 404. The output of the microprocessor is connected to the input of the timer, and the output of the timer is connected to the power switch of the lighting lamp 404 in the power module. The on / off duration of the lighting lamp 404 can be set via a terminal. After the lighting lamp 404 has been continuously illuminating for the set duration, it can automatically turn off. Similarly, after the lighting lamp has been off for the set duration, it can be automatically turned on.

[0059] Example 2

[0060] Based on Example 1, the light intensity adjustment device for egg-laying hen farming provided in Example 1 is configured in several groups; such as Figure 2 As shown, a support beam 3 is installed on the ceiling of the chicken house, and the above-mentioned sets of light intensity adjustment devices for laying hens are evenly distributed at equal intervals on the support beam 3.

[0061] For free-range laying hens in chicken houses, the light emitted by the light intensity adjustment device for laying hen farming shines vertically downwards, which can meet the lighting requirements; however, for laying hens in cages, the vertically shining light may not be able to cover some of the shaded parts inside the cage.

[0062] In this embodiment, a hinged pivot is installed at the center of the upper surface of the light intensity device for egg-laying hen farming; the light intensity adjustment device for egg-laying hen farming is movably mounted on the supporting beam 3 via the hinged pivot. The hinged pivot in this embodiment is a universal ball-head damping ball hinge pivot, which is an existing component and can be directly purchased and used. By setting the hinged pivot, the illumination direction of the light intensity adjustment device for egg-laying hen farming can be switched arbitrarily 360°. Depending on the location of the chicken cage, the tilt angle of the light intensity adjustment device can be adjusted so that its light can fully cover the inside of the chicken cage.

[0063] Example 3

[0064] Based on Example 2, such as Figure 1 As shown, in order to improve the lighting effect, a reflector 2 is set above the light intensity adjustment device for egg-laying hen farming in this embodiment; the surface of the reflector 2 is coated with a reflective coating; the reflector 2 is used to reflect light and improve the lighting effect.

[0065] As a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, several convex reflective lattices 201 are formed on the lower surface of the reflector 2. These convex reflective lattice structures 201 utilize the principle of microprism technology, with each prism unit having a regular geometric shape, such as a hexagon or triangle, arranged closely without gaps. In this embodiment, regular hexagonal prism units are used. After light enters the prism, it undergoes total internal reflection and ultimately returns parallel to the incident direction. This retroreflection characteristic ensures that the light is concentrated and returns, resulting in a clearly visible reflection.
