An egg-barrier protection device for laying hen cages

Abstract

This utility model discloses an egg-blocking and protective device for a laying hen cage, including a water tank. The water tank contains an egg-delivery area, a protection area, and an egg-collecting area arranged sequentially along the egg-carrying direction. The protection area is a top-opening tank structure filled with a 5%-10% saline solution. A drive motor is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the water tank, and the output end of the drive motor extends into the egg-delivery area and is rotatably connected to a rotating rod via a bearing. Multiple evenly distributed blades are fixed on the rotating rod. The egg-collecting area, the protection area, and the egg-delivery area are interconnected. In this utility model, by setting up a protection area filled with saline solution, when eggs enter the protection area, the saline solution effectively cushions the eggs, significantly reducing the impact force of the falling eggs and preventing breakage due to collision. Simultaneously, the density of the saline solution is greater than that of the eggs, allowing the eggs to float on the surface of the saline solution, reducing contact friction between the eggs and the bottom of the protection area, further enhancing the protective effect.
