Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of egg collection track technology, specifically to a flexible buffer and automatic egg collection track for laying hen boxes. Background Technology

[0002] A laying box is a facility that provides laying space for hens, creating a relatively suitable laying environment. It is a specialized device used in egg-laying hen farming for centralized egg production. An egg collection track is a channel connecting the laying area and the collection area. Its main function is to transport eggs from the laying box to the collection point. It is a facility used in large-scale farming to assist in egg collection and improve the efficiency of the egg collection process.

[0003] During the design process of this utility model, the following problems were found in the existing technology: the existing egg collection track makes the eggs easily damaged by impact, and the egg collection relies heavily on manual intervention and has low automation. At the same time, the track is prone to causing the eggs to deviate or get stuck, the connection between the various parts is not smooth, and the final link often causes the eggs to break due to impact. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flexible buffer for the laying hen's egg-laying box and an automatic egg-collecting track to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a flexible buffer and automatic egg collection track for a laying hen's laying box, including an inlet that begins at the middle of the front side of the laying box, an opening at the lower rear side of the laying box, a transition groove at the opening of the opening, a guide rail channel at the tail end of the transition groove, and the tail end of the guide rail channel obliquely penetrating one side of the collection box.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the buffer pad on the bottom wall of the egg-laying box can absorb the impact of falling eggs and prevent them from breaking; the tilting platform guides the eggs to move towards the rear of the egg-laying box by means of its tilting characteristics, reducing manual intervention and improving the automation of egg collection; the deep U-shaped structure of the guide rail channel provides a stable sliding space to prevent deviation; the protective frame blocks the eggs from falling; the overall tilting design can use gravity to drive the eggs to slide down automatically, saving energy; the foam material of the transition groove can buffer the collision when the eggs enter; the setting of its smooth plastic film can reduce the friction between the eggs and the inner wall of the transition groove and guide rail channel to prevent jamming; at the same time, the tilting characteristics connect the opening and the guide rail channel to ensure smooth sliding; the sponge pad on the bottom wall of the collection box buffers the final impact with elasticity to avoid egg breakage and ensure the integrity of the eggs.

[0007] To absorb the impact of eggs falling through the cushioning pads on the bottom wall of the egg-laying box and prevent breakage, a tilting platform is used to naturally guide the eggs' movement.

[0008] The egg-laying box is further configured such that its bottom wall is provided with an inclined platform, and the top of the inclined platform is provided with a cushioning pad.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solutions, the cushioning pad on the bottom wall of the egg-laying box can effectively absorb the impact force when the eggs fall, preventing the eggs from being damaged due to direct impact with the bottom wall of the egg-laying box. The tilting platform can use its tilting characteristics to naturally guide the eggs to move to the rear of the egg-laying box, preparing them for subsequent entry into the passage, reducing the steps of manual intervention in egg movement, and improving the automation level of egg collection.

[0010] To provide a stable sliding space for the egg through the deep U-shaped structure of the guide rail channel, preventing the egg from deviating from the track, and to prevent the egg from falling due to shaking, the overall tilted design allows the egg to slide down automatically under gravity.

[0011] Further configuration: the guide rail channel is a deep U-shape, the top of the guide rail channel is provided with a protective frame, and the guide rail channel is inclined as a whole.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the deep U-shaped structure of the guide rail channel can provide a stable sliding space for the eggs, preventing the eggs from deviating from the track during the sliding process. The protective frame can form a shield from above, preventing the eggs from falling off the top of the guide rail channel due to shaking or inertia during sliding. At the same time, the overall tilted design uses gravity to drive the eggs to slide down automatically without additional power, saving energy and improving egg collection efficiency.

[0013] To achieve the unique elasticity of the transition groove's foam U-shaped groove, it acts as a buffer when the egg enters, reducing damage caused by impact. Furthermore, the smooth plastic film significantly reduces friction between the egg and the inner walls of the transition groove and guide channel, ensuring smooth sliding. Simultaneously, the inclined characteristics of the transition groove guarantee the continuity of the egg's sliding process.

[0014] Further configuration: the transition groove is a flavored foam U-shaped groove, and the inner walls of both the transition groove and the guide rail channel are provided with smooth plastic film, and the transition groove as a whole is inclined.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the transition trough is a foam U-shaped trough with a certain degree of elasticity, which can play a buffering role when the eggs enter the transition trough, reducing the damage caused by the collision between the eggs and the trough. The smooth plastic film can significantly reduce the friction between the eggs and the inner wall of the transition trough and the guide rail channel, ensuring that the eggs slide more smoothly in the transition trough and the guide rail channel and avoid getting stuck. At the same time, the inclined characteristics of the transition trough can form a smooth connection with the opening of the egg laying box and the guide rail channel, ensuring the continuity of the entire sliding process of the eggs.

[0016] To ensure the eggs remain intact, the elasticity of the sponge pad at the bottom of the collection box is used to cushion the impact of the eggs falling, preventing breakage from the final impact.

[0017] A further feature is provided: the bottom wall of the collection box is provided with a sponge pad.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the eggs slide into the collection box from the end of the guide channel, the sponge pad on the bottom wall of the collection box can cushion the impact of the eggs falling through its own elasticity, preventing the eggs from being damaged by the final impact, thus providing protection for the eggs in the final stage of the egg collection process and ensuring the integrity of the eggs.

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention in any way.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The laying hen's flexible buffer and automatic egg collection track includes an inlet 1, which starts at the middle of the front side of the laying hen 2. The lower rear end of the laying hen 2 has an opening 3. The opening of the opening 3 has a transition groove 4. The tail end of the transition groove 4 has a guide rail channel 5. The tail end of the guide rail channel 5 obliquely passes through one side of the collection box 6.

[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bottom wall of the egg-laying box 2 is provided with an inclined platform 201, and the top of the inclined platform 201 is provided with a buffer pad 202.

[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the guide rail channel 5 is a deep U-shape, and a protective frame 501 is provided at the top of the guide rail channel 5. The guide rail channel 5 is inclined as a whole.

[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the transition groove 4 is a flavored foam U-shaped groove. The inner walls of both the transition groove 4 and the guide rail channel 5 are provided with smooth plastic film, and the transition groove 4 is inclined as a whole.

[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the bottom wall of the collection box 6 is provided with a sponge pad 601.

[0031] The flexible buffer and automatic egg collection track of this laying hen's laying box operate as follows:

[0032] When using it for the first time, the operator can let the laying hen jump into the laying box 2 from the inlet 1, and then lay eggs in the laying box 2. After the egg is laid, it will first come into contact with the buffer pad 202 on the bottom wall of the laying box 2, thereby reducing the impact when falling with the help of the buffer pad 202. Then, guided by the tilt angle of the tilting platform 201, the egg will begin to move slowly along the surface of the tilting platform 201 towards the back of the laying box 2. After sliding a short distance, the egg will slowly slide out from the opening 3.

[0033] When the egg slides out of the opening 3, it will immediately enter the transition groove 4 and continue to slide forward along the inner wall of the transition groove 4 under the action of the inclination of the transition groove 4 itself. During this process, there is a smooth plastic film on the inner wall of the transition groove 4, which can help the egg maintain a stable and smooth sliding state until it slides to the end of the transition groove 4 and then enters the guide rail channel 5.

[0034] After the egg enters the guide channel 5, it will continue to slide down along the overall tilt direction of the guide channel 5. During the slide, the protective frame 501 set at the top of the guide channel 5 will always surround the egg to prevent the egg from accidentally falling from the side while sliding. At the same time, the smooth plastic film set on the inner wall of the guide channel 5 will make the egg slide more smoothly and avoid jamming or stopping.

[0035] As the egg slides along the guide channel 5 to its end, it will then enter the collection box 6 through the guide channel 5 at an angle, and finally land smoothly on the sponge pad 601 on the bottom wall of the collection box 6, thus completing the entire egg collection process.
