Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of egg-laying hen farming equipment, and in particular to a stacked egg-collecting device for egg-laying hen farming equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the egg-laying hen farming industry, the performance of egg collection devices directly affects egg breakage rate and collection efficiency. Traditional stacked egg-laying hen farming equipment generally suffers from the following technical defects: First, the angle of the collection trough is mostly fixed, making it impossible to flexibly adjust its angle according to actual working conditions such as egg size and cage height. This can easily lead to some eggs rolling out of control, resulting in a high breakage rate due to collisions. Second, there is a lack of effective egg separation and buffering structures, making it easy for adjacent eggs to collide directly while rolling in the collection trough, especially in long-distance transport scenarios where breakage is more prominent. Third, most devices rely on manual egg collection or simple straight-line transport, which not only has low automation and high labor costs, but also easily causes secondary damage to eggs during manual operation. Fourth, existing transport structures do not have dynamic damping components, making it impossible to actively control the rolling rhythm of eggs and difficult to adapt to the synchronous collection needs of multiple rows of cages in large-scale farming.

[0003] The aforementioned problems result in traditional egg-collecting devices having drawbacks such as low efficiency, high breakage rate, and insufficient automation in practical applications, necessitating technological breakthroughs through structural optimization.

[0004] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an egg-collecting device for stacked egg-laying hen farming equipment. This device can effectively improve egg-collecting efficiency, reduce damage caused by manual operation, and flexibly adjust the angle of the collection trough according to actual needs, thereby optimizing the rolling speed and direction of the eggs. It can further reduce the risk of eggs breaking due to collisions during transportation, and can transfer the eggs collected in the collection trough from different collection troughs to the feed box, ensuring that the entire egg-collecting process is smoother and more efficient. It is also well adapted to the spatial effect of stacked farming environments.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a stacked egg-collecting device for egg-laying hen farming equipment, comprising a base, a left support, a right support, an angle adjustment component, three collection troughs, three anti-collision conveying components, a transmission component one, a transmission component two, a vertical conveying component, multiple receiving troughs, a guide box, and a support frame.

The flexible damping curtains are made of food-grade plastic, and the spacing between adjacent flexible damping curtains is 10-15cm.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple flexible damping curtains can be controlled to move with the conveyor belt when the shaft rotates, thereby separating the eggs entering the collection tank and preventing adjacent eggs from colliding and breaking during the rolling process in the collection tank.

[0010] A further feature of this invention is that the tilt adjustment assembly includes a mounting base and two electric cylinders. The mounting base is fixedly mounted on the top side of the base, and two electric cylinders arranged parallel to each other are hingedly mounted on the mounting base. The telescopic ends of the two electric cylinders are hingedly mounted on the right bracket.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the tilt angle of the three collection tanks can be adjusted synchronously as needed, thereby facilitating the control of the speed at which the eggs roll in the collection tanks.

[0012] A further feature of this invention is that the vertical conveying assembly includes two rotating shafts, two conveying rollers, a conveyor belt, and a drive motor. The rotating shafts are rotatably mounted on both the support frame and the guide box. The conveying rollers are fixedly sleeved on both rotating shafts. The same conveyor belt is drivenly connected to the two conveying rollers. Multiple receiving grooves are hinged to the conveyor belt. The drive motor is fixedly mounted on the rear side of the support frame. The output shaft of the drive motor is axially fixedly connected to one of the rotating shafts.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple receiving troughs can be controlled to follow the movement of the conveyor belt, thereby receiving the eggs rolling down in the collection trough and conveying them downwards to the guide box.

[0014] A further feature of this invention is that the transmission assembly includes four pulleys and two belts. The two rotating shafts located at the lower left and the two rotating shafts located at the upper right are each fixedly fitted with pulleys. The two pulleys on the same side are connected to the same belt.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, it is possible to ensure that multiple rotating shafts rotate synchronously and in the same direction.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, it is possible to control the rotation of the upper left rotating shaft when the second rotating shaft rotates.

[0018] A further feature of this invention is that the guide box is open on the side away from the left support and at the top, and the bottom inner wall of the guide box is set in a state where the left side is lower than the right side.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the eggs conveyed from the receiving trough to the guide box can be guided.

[0020] A further feature of this invention is that a buffer layer is attached and fixedly installed on both the inner wall of the receiving groove and the inner wall of the collecting groove, and the buffer layer is made of food-grade silicone.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the phenomenon of eggs breaking due to inertia when entering through the egg inlet can be avoided, and it also has the effect of easy cleaning.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0023] By adjusting the tilt angle of the collection trough, the angle can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, thereby controlling the rolling speed of the eggs and reducing collision damage caused by excessive speed. Simultaneously, the flexible damping curtain in the anti-collision conveyor separates the eggs after they enter the collection trough, preventing direct contact between adjacent eggs and further reducing the breakage rate. Furthermore, the coordinated design of the vertical conveyor and the receiving trough ensures that eggs are smoothly transported from different collection troughs to the guide box, avoiding secondary damage that may occur with traditional manual egg collection methods. This device effectively improves the efficiency and safety of egg collection, while also enhancing automation, ease of operation, and simple maintenance. It is suitable for large-scale egg-laying hen farming and has high practical value and promotional significance. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0035] Reference Figure 1-8 A stacked egg-collecting device for egg-laying hen farming includes a base 1, a left support 11, a right support 12, three collection troughs 2, multiple receiving troughs 43, a feed box 3, and a support frame 31.

[0036] The left support 11 and the feed box 3 are both fixedly installed on the base 1. The top side of the base 1 is fixedly installed with a mounting seat. Two electric cylinders 13 are hinged on the mounting seat and arranged in parallel with each other. The telescopic ends of the two electric cylinders 13 are hinged on the right support 12. The three collection tanks 2 are hinged on the left support 11 and the right support 12 and arranged in parallel with each other. The three collection tanks 2 are each provided with multiple egg inlets 201. The tilt angle of the three collection tanks 2 can be adjusted synchronously as needed, so as to facilitate the control of the speed at which the eggs roll in the collection tanks 2.

[0037] Four support plates are fixedly installed on the top side of the collection tank 2. The same rotating shaft 21 is rotatably installed on two support plates on the same side. Conveying rollers 22 are fixedly sleeved on both rotating shafts 21. The same conveyor belt 23 is drivenly connected to the two conveyor rollers 22. Multiple flexible damping curtains 24 are hinged on the conveyor belt 23. When the rotating shaft 21 rotates, the multiple flexible damping curtains 24 can be controlled to move with the conveyor belt 23, thereby separating the eggs entering the collection tank 2 and preventing adjacent eggs from colliding and breaking during the rolling process in the collection tank 2. The flexible damping curtains 24 are made of food-grade plastic, and the distance between adjacent flexible damping curtains 24 is 10-15cm.

[0038] The support frame 31 is fixedly installed on the top of the guide box 3. Both the support frame 31 and the guide box 3 are rotatably mounted with a second shaft 41. Both shafts 41 are fixedly fitted with conveyor rollers 42. The two conveyor rollers 42 are connected to the same conveyor belt 4. Multiple receiving grooves 43 are hinged to the conveyor belt 4. The rear side of the support frame 31 is fixedly mounted with a drive motor 44. The output shaft of the drive motor 44 is axially fixedly connected to one of the shafts 41. This allows the multiple receiving grooves 43 to follow the movement of the conveyor belt 4, thereby receiving the eggs rolling down in the collection trough 2 and conveying them downwards into the guide box 3.

[0039] Two rotating shafts 21 located on the lower left and two rotating shafts 21 located on the upper right are each fixedly fitted with pulleys 25. The two pulleys 25 located on the same side are connected to the same belt 26, which can ensure that the multiple rotating shafts 21 rotate synchronously and in the same direction.

[0040] Both the upper rotating shaft 21 and the upper left rotating shaft 121 are fixedly fitted with pulleys 25. The two pulleys 25 are connected to the same belt 251, which can control the rotation of the upper left rotating shaft 121 when the rotating shaft 21 rotates.

[0041] Specifically, in order to guide the eggs from the receiving trough 43 to the guide box 3, and to prevent the eggs from breaking due to inertia when they enter through the egg inlet 201, the guide box 3 is open on the side away from the left support 11 and at the top. The bottom inner wall of the guide box 3 is set in a left-low-right-high configuration. Buffer layers are attached and fixedly installed on the inner walls of the receiving trough 43 and the inner walls of the collecting trough 2. In order to achieve both effective buffering and easy cleaning, the buffer layer is made of food-grade silicone.

[0042] The circuits, electronic components, and module mechanisms involved all employ existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need no further explanation. The content protected by this application does not involve any improvement to the software, circuits, or methods.

[0043] Working principle:

[0044] First, turn on the power and place the device near the chicken cage where eggs need to be collected. Adjust the height of the right support 12 according to the set program using the electric cylinder 13, thereby changing the inclination angle of the three collection troughs 2 so that the egg outlet of the chicken cage is aligned with the corresponding egg inlet 201. This adjustment process ensures that the eggs can roll at an appropriate speed after entering the collection trough 2 from the egg inlet 201, avoiding collisions due to excessive speed. At the same time, the drive motor 44 starts, driving the rotating shaft 41 to rotate, which in turn causes the receiving trough 43 to start circulating through the conveyor roller 42 and the conveyor belt 4. Under the action of the conveyor belt 4, the receiving troughs 43 are controlled to pass through the lower positions of different collection troughs 2 in sequence, so as to accurately receive the eggs rolling down from the collection trough 2 and smoothly transport them into the guide box 3.

[0045] The rotating shaft 21 rotates synchronously through the transmission of the belt 26, which causes the conveyor belt 23 to drive the flexible damping curtain 24 to move continuously. The flexible damping curtain 24 separates the eggs and effectively prevents them from contacting each other during the rolling process. In addition, the presence of the buffer layer further reduces the impact force that may be generated by inertia when the eggs enter the collection tank 2 or the guide box 3, ensuring the safety and efficiency of the entire egg picking process.

[0046] Once the eggs are conveyed to the feed box 3, due to the inclined design of the bottom of the feed box 3 (lower on the left and higher on the right), the eggs will naturally slide to the designated position, completing the final collection work.

[0047] The above provides a detailed description of the egg-collecting device for a stacked egg-laying hen farming system provided by this utility model. Specific embodiments have been used to illustrate the principle and implementation of this utility model. The descriptions of these embodiments are merely for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of ​​this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to this utility model without departing from its principles, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
