Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In the process of egg-laying hen farming, egg collection is a key part of daily management, which directly affects the farming efficiency and economic benefits. At present, small farms, family farms and scattered farmers mainly rely on manual egg collection.

[0003] Existing technologies have the following problems:

[0004] Manually picking up eggs presents several challenges. First, the complex environment inside the chicken coop, with its abundance of feces, feathers, and other debris, easily leads to egg contamination and increases cleaning costs. Second, precise control of hand pressure is difficult during manual picking, especially for beginners, who are prone to breaking eggs due to excessive force. Statistics show that the breakage rate of manually picked eggs can reach 5%-8%, resulting in unnecessary economic losses. While some mechanized picking tools attempt to address these issues, many have complex structures containing motors, sensors, and other electronic components, leading to high manufacturing costs and susceptibility to moisture damage. The damp, dusty environment of chicken coops makes malfunctions more likely and maintenance more difficult. Some manual tools, while lacking electronic components, lack labor-saving structural designs, requiring significant pulling force to control the opening and closing of the clamps, leading to operator fatigue and inefficiency over extended periods. Furthermore, most existing patented egg-collecting devices focus on large-scale automated equipment or complex mechanical structures, such as multi-link drives or gear meshing, to achieve the gripping action. While these designs improve automation, the core technologies are widely protected, and inadvertently borrowing new designs can easily lead to patent disputes. For small manual tools, existing technologies either have poor clamp curvature adaptation to eggs or lack effective anti-slip protection, failing to meet practical needs. Therefore, the market urgently needs a handheld egg-collecting device with a minimalist structure, labor-saving operation, non-infringement of existing patents, and reduced egg breakage rate.

[0005] To address these shortcomings, we have proposed an egg-collecting device for laying hen farming. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an egg-collecting device for laying hen farming.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an egg-collecting device for laying hen farming, comprising a handle, a support rod, an arc-shaped picking clip, and a support cylinder. One end of the handle is threadedly connected to the support rod, and one end of the support rod is connected to the arc-shaped picking clip via a scissor-type connecting rod. A spring and a pull rope are installed on the scissor-type connecting rod.

[0008] The support cylinder is welded to the outer wall of the support rod, and a pulley system is provided inside the support cylinder.

[0009] The end of the pull rope away from the scissor-type linkage passes through the pulley block and is then fixed to the handle.

[0010] The pulley system is a movable pulley system.

[0011] The surface of the arc-shaped pickup clip has a through groove.

[0012] The through slots are provided in multiple ways, and the multiple through slots are arranged in a ring array on the surface of the arc-shaped pickup clip.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] (1) This utility model consists only of a handle, a support rod, an arc-shaped pickup clip and a control pull rope. It has no complicated parts, a simple manufacturing process, and a low cost per set, making it suitable for large-scale promotion.

[0015] (2) In this utility model, the design of the pulley system utilizes mechanical principles to significantly reduce the pulling force required to control the opening and closing of the clamps. Operators can easily pull it with a single finger, effectively reducing hand fatigue and greatly improving continuous operation efficiency compared to traditional tools. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 An egg-collecting device for laying hen farming includes a handle 1, a support rod 2, an arc-shaped picking clip 3, and a support cylinder 8. One end of the handle 1 is threadedly connected to the support rod 2.

[0025] The threaded connection makes it easy to assemble and disassemble the handle 1 and the support rod 2, which facilitates the transportation, storage and subsequent maintenance and replacement of the device. When one of the parts is damaged, it can be replaced separately, reducing the cost of use.

[0026] One end of the support rod 2 is connected to the arc-shaped pickup clip 3 via a scissor-type connecting rod 5.

[0027] The scissor-type linkage 5 can flexibly realize the opening and closing action of the arc-shaped picking clip 3, providing a structural basis for picking up eggs. Its structure is simple and has good stability, which can ensure that the arc-shaped picking clip 3 moves in a coordinated manner during the opening and closing process.

[0028] A spring 6 and a pull rope 7 are installed on the scissor-type linkage 5.

[0029] Spring 6 has an elastic reset function. When there is no external force pulling the pull rope 7, it can keep the scissor-type linkage 5 and the arc-shaped picking clamp 3 in a closed state, which makes it easy to clamp the egg. Pull rope 7 is the key component to control the opening and closing of the arc-shaped picking clamp 3. Pulling the pull rope 7 can drive the scissor-type linkage 5 to move.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The support cylinder 8 is welded to the outer wall of the support rod 2.

[0031] The welding connection ensures a firm connection between the support cylinder 8 and the support rod 2, providing stable support for the internal pulley block 9 and preventing it from shaking during operation, thus ensuring the stability of the pull rope 7 transmission.

[0032] The support cylinder 8 is equipped with a pulley system 9.

[0033] Pulley block 9 is a movable pulley. Movable pulleys can save effort and reduce the pulling force required to control the opening and closing of the arc-shaped pickup clamp 3, making it easier for operators to operate the device.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The end of the pull rope 7 away from the scissor-type connecting rod 5 passes through the pulley block 9 and is then fixed to the handle 1.

[0035] This connection method makes the transmission path of the pull rope 7 more reasonable. The pulley block 9 makes it convenient for the operator to control the pull rope 7 at the handle 1, and thus control the opening and closing of the arc-shaped pickup clip 3.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Pulley block 9 is a movable pulley.

[0037] The movable pulley can save effort and reduce the pulling force required to control the opening and closing of the arc-shaped pickup clamp 3, making it easier for operators to operate the device.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The surface of the arc-shaped pickup clip 3 is provided with a through groove 4.

[0039] The through slot 4 can reduce the weight of the arc-shaped pickup clip 3, making the device lighter.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 Multiple through slots 4 are provided, and the multiple through slots 4 are distributed in a ring array on the surface of the arc-shaped pickup clip 3.

[0041] When picking up an egg, the through groove 4 can reduce the contact area between the arc-shaped picking clip 3 and the egg surface, reduce the wear on the egg surface, and also prevent the formation of a vacuum during picking, making it easier for the egg to detach from the arc-shaped picking clip 3.

[0042] Working principle: During operation, the operator holds handle 1. Initially, under the elastic force of spring 6, the scissor-type linkage 5 drives the arc-shaped pickup clamp 3 to be in a closed state. When an egg needs to be picked up, the operator pulls the pull rope 7 at handle 1. The pull rope 7 reduces effort through the movable pulley group 9 inside the support cylinder 8, thereby pulling the scissor-type linkage 5. This causes the scissor-type linkage 5 to overcome the elastic force of spring 6, causing the arc-shaped pickup clamp 3 to open. After aligning the opened arc-shaped pickup clamp 3 with the egg and securing it, the operator releases the pull rope 7. Under the elastic force of spring 6, the scissor-type linkage 5 returns to its original position, causing the arc-shaped pickup clamp 3 to close, thus covering the egg within the two arc-shaped pickup clamps 3 for pickup. Afterward, the operator moves the device above the egg container and pulls the pull rope 7 again, causing the arc-shaped pickup clamp 3 to open. The egg, under the action of gravity, falls through the arc-shaped pickup clamp 3. The eggs fall between the two sides and enter the egg-collecting container, completing one egg retrieval operation.

[0043] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative or explanatory of the principles of this utility model and do not constitute a limitation thereof. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be included within its protection scope. Furthermore, the appended claims are intended to cover all variations and modifications falling within the scope and boundaries of the appended claims, or equivalent forms of such scope and boundaries.
