Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture equipment, and in particular to a poultry egg collection device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern poultry farming, with the continuous advancement of large-scale and intensive farming models, the efficiency and automation level of egg collection have become key factors affecting farming profitability. As a crucial piece of equipment connecting the egg-laying stage with subsequent processing, poultry egg collection devices are designed to efficiently and safely transfer eggs from the laying location to the collection container, reducing manual intervention, lowering egg breakage rates, and laying the foundation for subsequent cleaning, grading, and packaging processes. Especially in large-scale farms, daily egg production can reach thousands or even tens of thousands. Traditional manual collection methods are not only labor-intensive and inefficient but also prone to contamination or breakage due to improper human operation. Therefore, developing efficient and stable automated egg collection devices has become an inevitable trend in the industry. Currently, market demand for such devices has evolved from simple mechanical conveying to intelligent and continuous operation, requiring devices that can adapt to the egg-laying characteristics of different poultry breeds (such as laying hens and ducks) while ensuring the continuity and reliability of the collection process.

[0003] Existing poultry egg collection devices primarily utilize a conveyor belt system as their core, supplemented by components such as inclined guide vanes and roller sorting mechanisms. Specifically, after eggs fall from laying boxes or belts into the collection area, they are typically guided to a horizontal conveyor belt by inclined guide vanes. The conveyor belt surface is often made of flexible material to reduce collision damage to the eggs. Some devices incorporate grading rollers at the end of the conveyor belt, using variations in roller spacing to initially sort eggs of different sizes. Finally, manual or semi-automatic robotic arms transfer the eggs from the conveyor belt to collection baskets or boxes. The underlying technology is mainly based on gravity flow and friction drive; the eggs move from a higher to a lower position using their own weight, and the friction between the conveyor belt and the eggs propels them forward, completing the transfer from dispersed laying points to a centralized collection point. Furthermore, some highly automated devices are equipped with photoelectric sensors to detect the position of eggs on the conveyor belt, controlling its operation and preventing egg accumulation at the end.

[0004] However, in actual operation, existing poultry egg collection devices require manual intervention to stop the operation and replace empty collection containers when the collection baskets or boxes are full. This process forces an interruption to the egg collection process. Eggs that are still being produced have nowhere to be collected and are prone to accumulating at the end of the conveyor belt or at the guide plate. This not only causes the eggs to be crushed and damaged but also requires additional manual cleaning, further affecting collection efficiency. Therefore, a new poultry egg collection device is proposed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a poultry egg collection device, which aims to improve the problem of poultry eggs piling up or having nowhere to be placed when the collection rack must be manually changed.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A poultry egg collection device includes a fixed frame, with multiple poultry nests and support blocks fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame. Each poultry nest has a guide tube fixedly connected inside, and each support block has a guide frame fixedly connected to the top.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] One of the fixed frames has a motor fixedly connected inside. The motor output end is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting strip on one side, and the other end of the connecting strip on the other side is rotatably connected inside the other fixed frame.

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0033] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0034] Reference Figures 1-4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a poultry egg collection device, comprising a fixed frame 1, with multiple poultry nests 2 specifically designed for poultry egg production and support blocks 6 for supporting them fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 1. Each poultry nest 2 has a guide tube 3 fixedly connected inside to guide the falling trajectory of the poultry eggs. Each support block 6 has a guide frame 5 fixedly connected to its top. Each guide frame 5 is located at the bottom of the guide tube 3 to stably support the poultry eggs. Each guide frame 5 has a sponge pad 4 fixedly connected to its inner wall. The sponge pad 4 is used to effectively buffer the impact of the falling poultry eggs, achieving the effect of protecting the integrity of the eggshell. The inner wall of the guide frame 5 is provided with a cleaning component, and a collection component for collecting poultry eggs is provided on one side of each of the multiple guide frames 5.

[0035] The collection assembly includes multiple collection racks 18, located on one side of the guide frame 5, for bulk collection of clean poultry eggs rolling off the guide frame 5. Multiple fixed frames 3 17, serving as sliding guides, and fixed frames 2 7, serving as support and power mounting points, are fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the fixed frame 1. Each fixed frame 3 17 has a sliding plate 10 and a sliding plate 2 11 slidably connected inside. The sliding plates 10 and 2 11 cooperate with the fixed frame 3 17 to smoothly reciprocate, providing a controllable moving base for the collection racks 18. The two sliding plates 10 and 2 11 are fixedly connected to the two sides of the collection rack 18. The outer walls of the multiple sliding plates 10 and 2 11 are provided with a pushing assembly that provides displacement power. This pushing assembly includes a motor 8, located on one side of each sliding plate 10 and 2 11. Each sliding plate 10 has a connecting strip 1 9 fixedly connected to one side. Each sliding plate 2 10... One side is fixedly connected to a connecting strip 12. Each side of the connecting strip 19 and the outer wall of the connecting strip 12 are rotatably connected to a transmission plate 13. Each end of the connecting strip 19 is fixedly connected to a gear 15. Each side of the transmission plate 13 is fixedly connected to a rotating strip 14. Each rotating strip 14 is rotatably connected to a gear 16. The gear 15 meshes with the gear 16 to achieve the effect of converting a single rotational motion into a complex translational motion. One of the fixed frames 27 is fixedly connected to a motor 8. The output end of the motor 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting strip 19 on one side. One end of the connecting strip 19 on the other side is rotatably connected to the inside of another fixed frame 27. One end of the connecting strip 19 on the other side is fixedly connected to a limit ring 19. The limit ring 19 fits against the outer wall of the other fixed frame 27 to provide stable support and limit during transmission, ensuring the smooth and precise operation of the transmission mechanism.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 The cleaning component automatically cleans poultry eggs as they roll, solving the problem of dirt on the eggshell surface. It includes multiple cleaning bristles 22 that directly contact the eggshell. The multiple cleaning bristles 22 are located on the inner wall of the guide frame 5. Each guide frame 5 has multiple rotating bars 20 fixedly connected to its inner wall as rotating axes. Each rotating bar 20 has a rotating cylinder 21 rotatably connected to its outer wall. The rotating cylinder 21 passively rotates in conjunction with the rolling poultry eggs, achieving an energy-saving effect by using the eggs' own gravity to drive the cleaning action. One end of each cleaning bristle 22 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 21, so that the eggshell surface can be gently and thoroughly wiped and cleaned when the rotating cylinder 21 rotates.

[0037] Working principle: During equipment use, poultry lay eggs in the poultry nests 2 on the inner wall of the fixed frame 1. The eggs then fall smoothly onto the inner wall of the guide frame 5 through the guide cylinder 3. The guide frame 5 is equipped with a sponge pad 4, which can effectively cushion the impact of the eggs falling and prevent the eggshells from breaking. Utilizing the inclined structure of the guide frame 5 itself, the eggs will slowly roll along the inclined surface and move towards the collection rack 18. During the rolling process of the poultry eggs, their own weight and movement will drive the multiple rotating cylinders 21 on the inner wall of the guide frame 5 and the cleaning bristles 22 on them. The cleaning bristles 22 rotate around the rotating strip 20 as the center, thereby performing a comprehensive rolling cleaning of the surface of the eggs. This achieves the function of automatically cleaning the eggshell surface, solving the problem of the need to spend extra time and effort to clean the eggs after traditional manual egg collection or the problem of dirt on the eggshell surface affecting the quality. It enhances the automation and cleanliness of egg collection.

[0038] When it is necessary to collect poultry eggs that are already full inside the collection rack 18, the operator starts the motor 8 inside the fixed rack 2 7. The output end of the motor 8 then drives the connecting bar 1 9 on one side, and drives the gear 15 on it to rotate. Because gear 15 and gear 2 16 mesh with each other, the rotation of gear 15 will drive gear 2 16 to rotate in the opposite direction. This drives the transmission plate 13 through the rotating bar 14, which in turn drives the connecting bar 9 and connecting bar 2 12 connected to the transmission plate 13. This causes the sliding plates 10 and 2 11 to slide in the inner wall track of the fixed frame 3 17. Ultimately, this causes the multiple collection racks 18 fixedly connected to the sliding plates to move as a whole. This allows the collection racks 18 that originally contained poultry eggs to be swapped with the spare empty collection racks 18. This allows the staff to easily remove the full collection racks, while the new empty collection racks 18 move to their original positions to continue receiving the eggs rolling down from the guide frame 5. This ensures that the collected eggs can be processed in batches without affecting the subsequent egg receiving. This achieves the effect of quickly changing the collection racks 18 and solves the problem of interrupting the subsequent egg rolling when the collection racks 18 are full. This enhances the continuity and convenience of egg collection.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
