Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of poultry farming technology, and in particular to an automatic incubation device for poultry farming. Background Technology

[0002] A poultry egg incubator is a machine that artificially simulates the maternal environment of oviparous animals by using conditions such as temperature and humidity to turn the eggs over a certain period of time, allowing fertilized poultry eggs to develop into life. Its main uses are for hatching fertilized eggs and embryonic development.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN206491169U discloses a poultry egg incubator, including an incubator body, a control panel, a heating device, and a fan. Two doors are located at each end of the incubator body. A temperature and humidity detection device is installed inside the incubator body. A partition is located inside the incubator body, and ventilation ducts are provided at both ends of the partition and the incubator body. The fan and heating device are located at the ventilation ducts at both ends. A guide rail groove is provided at the bottom of the incubator body. A water tank with a pressure pump is located inside the partition, and a humidifier connected to a water source via a water pipe is fixedly installed on the partition. The fan and heating device are adjacent to each other. Ventilation holes and an exhaust fan are provided at the top of the incubator body. Although the air inside the incubator of this utility model can form a circular airflow and achieve uniform temperature, it lacks a mechanism for turning the poultry eggs, which can easily cause the embryo to stick to the eggshell, affecting the hatching success rate. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic incubation device for poultry farming, which can turn poultry eggs to improve the hatching success rate.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: It includes a box body, a door hinged to one side of the box body, a temperature controller installed inside the box body, and a humidity controller installed inside the box body. Several incubation platforms are arranged horizontally inside the box body. Each incubation platform includes an incubation frame and several incubation rods that are uniformly rotated horizontally on the incubation frame. A set distance is maintained between adjacent incubation rods. An egg-turning mechanism is provided on the box body to drive the incubation rods to rotate. The egg-turning mechanism includes several worm gears that are rotated horizontally inside the box body and correspond one-to-one with the incubation platforms, and a drive motor installed on the box body to drive the worm gears to rotate. One end of each incubation rod is provided with a turbine that cooperates with an adjacent worm gear.

[0006] A further feature of this invention is that the hatching rod is movably connected to the hatching frame, and the top of the hatching frame is provided with a plurality of semi-circular connecting grooves that can cooperate with the hatching rod. Both ends of the hatching rod are movably attached to the inner wall of the connecting grooves.

[0007] A further feature of this invention is that the incubation frame is movably connected to the box body, and limit blocks are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the incubation frame along the horizontal direction, and limit grooves that cooperate with the limit blocks are symmetrically opened in the box body along the horizontal direction.

[0008] A further feature of this invention is that a slag discharge hole is provided on the side of the incubation frame near the door, and a cleaning component for cleaning the incubation frame is provided on the side of the incubation frame away from the slag discharge hole.

[0009] A further feature of this invention is that the cleaning component includes a cleaning rod and a serrated elastic cleaning plate vertically disposed on the cleaning rod. The bottom of the elastic cleaning plate is movably attached to the bottom of the incubation frame. Both sides of the incubation frame are provided with elongated movable holes along the horizontal direction that cooperate with the cleaning rod. Both ends of the cleaning rod can move through the movable holes.

[0010] A further feature of this invention is that a movable block is provided at one end of the cleaning rod, and the movable block is located between the box and the incubation frame.

[0011] A further feature of this invention is that a material-collecting handle is symmetrically provided on the side of the incubation frame near the slag outlet.

[0012] A further feature of this invention is that the outer wall of the incubation rod is provided with an elastic connecting layer.

[0013] A further feature of this invention is that the door is made of a transparent material.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. By setting up incubation rods, worm gears, etc., when incubating poultry eggs, the eggs are first placed horizontally between two incubation rods. Then, the incubation rods in multiple incubation frames are arranged sequentially. The chamber door is closed, and the temperature and humidity controllers are turned on to regulate the temperature and humidity inside the chamber. The motor control device then intermittently turns on the drive motor, driving the worm gear to rotate. The worm gear drives the worm wheel, which in turn drives the incubation rods. The synchronous rotation of the incubation rods on both sides of the eggs causes the eggs to flip. Therefore, by setting up incubation rods, worm gears, etc., multiple incubation frames can be arranged sequentially to increase the number of eggs that can be incubated at one time. The worm gear drives the incubation rods to rotate, causing the eggs to flip periodically, preventing the embryo from sticking to the eggshell during incubation, thus improving the success rate of egg hatching.

[0016] 2. By setting up a discharge hole and a cleaning rod, when the incubator needs to be cleaned after the eggs have finished hatching, first pull the incubation frame outward until the entire frame is removed. Then, manually pull the cleaning rod outward along the moving hole. During the movement of the cleaning rod, the elastic cleaning plate cleans the bottom plate of the incubation frame until the cleaning rod moves to the end of the moving hole. At this point, the elastic cleaning plate sweeps the eggshells and other debris out of the discharge hole. There is no need for workers to manually remove the incubation rod and clean the incubation frame. The operation is simple and convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0025] 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.

[0026] This utility model provides an automatic incubation device for poultry farming, such as... Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the device includes a housing 1, a door 2 hinged to one side of the housing 1, a temperature controller 3 installed inside the housing 1, and a humidity controller 4 installed inside the housing 1. Several incubation platforms 5 are arranged horizontally inside the housing 1. Each incubation platform 5 includes an incubation frame 5a and several incubation rods 5b evenly rotatably mounted on the incubation frame 5a in the horizontal direction. A predetermined distance exists between adjacent incubation rods 5b. An egg-turning mechanism 6 is provided on the housing 1 to drive the rotation of the incubation rods 5b. The egg-turning mechanism 6 includes several worm gears 6a rotatably mounted horizontally inside the housing 1, each corresponding to one of the incubation platforms 5, and a drive motor 6b mounted on the housing 1 to drive the worm gears 6a to rotate. One end of each incubation rod 5b is provided with a turbine 7 that cooperates with the adjacent worm gear 6a.

[0027] Furthermore, the incubation rod 5b is movably connected to the incubation frame 5a, and the top of the incubation frame 5a is provided with several semi-circular longitudinal section connecting grooves 8 that can cooperate with the incubation rod 5b. Both ends of the incubation rod 5b are movably attached to the inner wall of the connecting grooves 8.

[0028] Furthermore, the incubation frame 5a is movably connected to the box 1, and limit blocks 9 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the incubation frame 5a in the horizontal direction. Limiting grooves 10 that cooperate with the limit blocks 9 are symmetrically opened in the horizontal direction inside the box 1.

[0029] Furthermore, the hatching frame 5a has a slag discharge hole 11 on the side near the box door 2, and a cleaning component 12 for cleaning the hatching frame 5a is provided on the side away from the slag discharge hole 11.

[0030] Furthermore, the cleaning component 12 includes a cleaning rod 12a and a serrated elastic cleaning plate 12b vertically disposed on the cleaning rod 12a. The bottom of the elastic cleaning plate 12b is movably attached to the bottom of the incubation frame 5a. Both sides of the incubation frame 5a are provided with elongated moving holes 13 in the horizontal direction that cooperate with the cleaning rod 12a. Both ends of the cleaning rod 12a can move through the moving holes 13.

[0031] Furthermore, a movable block 14 is provided at one end of the cleaning rod 12a, and the movable block 14 is located between the box 1 and the incubation frame 5a.

[0032] Furthermore, the incubation frame 5a is symmetrically provided with a material handling handle 15 on the side near the slag outlet 11.

[0033] Furthermore, the outer wall of the incubation rod 5b is provided with an elastic connecting layer 16.

[0034] Furthermore, the door 2 is made of a transparent material.

[0035] When incubating poultry eggs, firstly, place the eggs horizontally between two adjacent incubation rods 5b of the incubation frame 5a. Then, align the limiting blocks 9 on both sides of the incubation frame 5a with the limiting grooves 10 inside the box 1, and push the incubation frame 5a into the box 1. Then, close the box door 2, and turn on the temperature controller 3 and humidity controller 4 to regulate and control the temperature and humidity inside the box 1. (It should be noted that the temperature controller 3 includes a temperature sensor, control chip, heater, etc., and the humidity sensor includes a humidity sensing element, control chip, humidification device, etc., all of which are existing technologies. Therefore, they are not described in detail and will not affect the understanding of the actual scope of technology protected by this solution by those skilled in the art.) Then, control the drive motor 6b to open intermittently through the motor control device. (It should be noted that the motor control device includes a control circuit, drive circuit, human-machine interface and communication module, etc., which are existing technologies. Therefore, they are not described in detail.) (This does not affect the understanding of the technical scope actually protected by this solution by those skilled in the art.) The worm gear 6a is driven to rotate, which in turn drives the worm wheel to rotate, thereby driving the incubation rod 5b to rotate. During the synchronous rotation of the incubation rods 5b on both sides of the egg, the egg will be turned over. After the egg is incubated, the box door 2 is opened, and the incubation frame 5a is pulled outward through the material handling handle 15. Then the incubation frame 5a is removed, and the hatched chicks are taken out. Then the moving block 14 is pulled, which drives the elastic cleaning plate 12b to clean the bottom of the incubation frame 5a, thereby completing the entire incubation process. Therefore, by setting the incubation rod 5b, worm gear 6a, etc., multiple incubation frames 5a can be used to place the eggs in sequence, increasing the number of eggs that can be incubated in the box 1 at one time. Then the worm gear 6a can drive the incubation rod 5b to rotate through the worm wheel, thereby causing the eggs to be turned over at regular intervals, avoiding the embryo from sticking to the eggshell during the incubation process, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the success rate of egg hatching.

[0036] By setting the connecting slots 8, the hatching rods 5b can be placed in the two connecting slots 8 in sequence, so that the worm gear and the worm 6a mesh with each other. The operation is simple and convenient, which makes it easy to assemble the hatching rods 5b and also makes it easy to replace the damaged hatching rods 5b in the future.

[0037] By setting the limiting block 9 and the limiting groove 10, the limiting block 9 on both sides of the incubation frame 5a can be engaged with the limiting groove 10 to achieve the connection between the incubation frame 5a and the box body 1, which makes it easy to directly remove the incubation frame 5a for placing poultry eggs and cleaning the incubation frame 5a.

[0038] By setting up a discharge hole 11 and a cleaning rod 12a, when the chamber 1 needs to be cleaned after the eggs have been incubated, first pull the incubation frame 5a outward until the entire incubation frame 5a is removed. Then, manually pull the cleaning rod 12a outward along the moving hole 13. During the movement of the cleaning rod 12a, the elastic cleaning plate 12b cleans the bottom plate of the incubation frame 5a until the cleaning rod 12a moves to the end of the moving hole 13. At this time, the elastic cleaning plate 12b sweeps the eggshells and other debris in the incubation frame 5a out through the discharge hole 11. There is no need for workers to manually remove the incubation rod 5b and then clean the incubation frame 5a. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0039] By setting the moving block 14, the sweeping rod 12a can be limited on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is convenient for the worker to directly push the sweeping rod 12a to move through the moving block 14.

[0040] By setting up a material handling handle 15, it is easy for workers to push the incubation frame 5a outward or inward.

[0041] By setting the elastic connection layer 16, the friction between the incubation rod 5b and the eggs is increased, ensuring that the incubation rod 5b can drive the eggs to flip over.

[0042] By setting a transparent door 2, workers can easily observe the incubation status of the poultry eggs inside the box 1.

[0043] It should be noted that the various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.

[0044] The above description is merely a description of preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention in any way. Any changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the above disclosure shall fall within the protection scope of the claims.
