[0023] Reference Figure 1-3 An egg-collecting device for poultry farming is disclosed, comprising a plate 1 as the basic load-bearing structure, on which two parallel vertical plates 3 are vertically fixed and fixed, forming the main frame of the device. An egg storage box 2 is securely installed on the plate 1, located at the rear end of the two vertical plates 3, for the centralized storage of collected poultry eggs. The device automatically transfers poultry eggs from the bottom of the plate 1 to the egg storage box 2 via a first roller 6, a second roller 7, a third roller 8, and multiple transmission belts 9 surrounding the three rollers, in conjunction with baffles 10 evenly spaced between the transmission belts 9.

[0024] Motor 4: A specialized motor with high torque and low speed characteristics is selected and fixedly installed in a suitable position on the plate 1 to provide a stable power source for equipment operation. This motor has an overload protection function. When abnormalities such as egg jamming occur during equipment operation, resulting in excessive load, the motor will automatically cut off the power to avoid motor damage and equipment failure. The motor power is precisely matched and calculated based on factors such as the running speed of the transmission belt 9, the number of baffles 10, and the weight of the eggs to ensure that it can drive the entire transmission system to operate smoothly.

[0025] Shaft 5: Made of high-strength alloy steel, one end is fixedly connected to the output end of motor 4 via a key connection to ensure reliable power transmission. Shaft 5 passes through one side of vertical plate 3, and a high-precision bearing is installed at the penetration point of vertical plate 3 to reduce frictional resistance during shaft rotation and ensure that shaft 5 can rotate flexibly.

[0026] The first roller 6 is fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating shaft 5 and located between the two vertical plates 3. The first roller 6 is made of metal with a non-slip surface treatment, such as a rubber coating, to increase the friction between it and the transmission belt 9 and prevent the transmission belt from slipping. At the same time, the diameter of the first roller 6 is designed according to the overall size of the equipment and the transmission requirements to ensure a reasonable transmission ratio with the second roller 7 and the third roller 8.

[0027] The second roller 7 is rotatably mounted on the lower end of the two vertical plates 3 and connected to the vertical plates 3 via bearing seats, ensuring that the roller can rotate freely. The surface of the second roller 7 is also treated with anti-slip material, and limit devices are provided at both ends to prevent the transmission belt 9 from deviating during operation.

[0028] The third roller 8 is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the two vertical plates 3, and its installation method is similar to that of the second roller 7. The height of the third roller 8 is precisely adjusted according to the height of the egg storage box 2 to ensure that the eggs can slide smoothly into the egg storage box 2.

[0029] Transmission belt 9: Made of wear-resistant, aging-resistant rubber with a certain degree of elasticity, transmission belts are arranged parallel to each other at equal intervals along the axial direction of the first roller 6, second roller 7, and third roller 8. The number of transmission belts 9 is determined according to the equipment's working efficiency requirements, generally no less than three, to ensure stable transmission of eggs. The spacing between adjacent transmission belts 9 is designed based on the average diameter of the eggs, ensuring that the eggs do not fall during transmission and are not crushed or damaged.

[0030] Baffle 10: Made of lightweight, high-strength plastic, it is installed perpendicular to the conveyor belt 9. The height of baffle 10 is designed according to the height of the eggs, generally slightly higher than the eggs, to ensure effective lifting of the eggs from the bottom of the baffle 1. The width of baffle 10 is matched to the width of the conveyor belt 9, and a smooth arc structure is designed at the front end of baffle 10 to reduce collision damage to the eggs during the lifting process. Multiple baffles 10 are installed at equal intervals between multiple conveyor belts 9. As the conveyor belts 9 move, they continuously scrape the eggs from the bottom of the baffle 1 and transfer them to the egg storage box 2.

[0031] Egg conveying path: The first roller 6 is located at the bottom rear end of the vertical plate 3, the second roller 7 is located at the bottom front end of the vertical plate 3, and the third roller 8 is located at the top rear end of the vertical plate 3. This layout makes the transmission belt 9 form an inclined egg conveying path. The inclination angle of this path is optimized according to the rolling characteristics of poultry eggs, generally between 15° and 30°, to ensure that poultry eggs can be smoothly conveyed from the bottom of the plate 1 to the egg storage box 2 under the drive of gravity and the transmission belt 9, while avoiding collision damage to poultry eggs due to excessive speed during the conveying process.

[0032] Rotary wheels 11: Multiple rotating wheels 11 are installed at the bottom of the plate 1. The rotating wheels 11 adopt a universal wheel structure, which facilitates the free movement of the equipment within the breeding site to adapt to the egg collection needs of different breeding areas. Each rotating wheel 11 is equipped with a braking device. When the equipment moves to the designated position, the braking device can be used to fix the equipment to ensure that the equipment will not move during operation.

[0033] Plate 1 and Vertical Plate 3: Both Plate 1 and Vertical Plate 3 are made of high-strength metal sheets, such as stainless steel, which have good corrosion resistance and strength, and can withstand various loads during equipment operation. The thickness of Plate 1 is designed according to the overall size of the equipment and load-bearing requirements, generally not less than 5mm. Vertical Plate 3 is fixedly connected to Plate 1 by welding to ensure a firm connection. At the same time, multiple mounting holes are provided on Vertical Plate 3 for mounting components such as rollers and motors. The position and size of the mounting holes are precisely machined according to the installation requirements of each component.

[0034] When the equipment is started, motor 4 begins to run, driving the first roller 6 to rotate via shaft 5. Since the transmission belt 9 connects the first roller 6, the second roller 7, and the third roller 8, the rotation of the first roller 6 drives the transmission belt 9, which in turn causes the second roller 7 and the third roller 8 to rotate. The baffle 10 installed between the transmission belts 9 moves with the transmission belt 9. When the baffle 10 passes the bottom of the plate 1, it lifts the eggs at the bottom. Because the egg conveying path is inclined, the lifted eggs, under the influence of gravity and the pushing action of the baffle 10, are conveyed along the transmission belt 9 towards the egg storage box 2, eventually sliding into the egg storage box 2, completing the automatic egg collection process.

[0035] Multiple layers of buffer partitions are installed inside the egg storage box 2. The partitions are made of soft sponge material, which divides the egg storage box 2 into multiple independent small spaces to prevent poultry eggs from colliding with each other and causing damage.

[0036] Protective railings are installed on both sides of the transmission belt 9 to prevent poultry eggs from falling from the sides during the transmission process, and also to prevent operators from accidentally coming into contact with the transmission belt during equipment operation, which could cause personal injury.

[0037] Adjustable support feet are installed on plate 1. When the equipment is used on uneven ground, the height of the support feet can be adjusted to ensure the equipment is level and stable, thus ensuring normal operation of the equipment.

[0038] Clear safety warning signs should be placed at critical parts of the equipment, such as the motor 4 and the transmission belt 9, to remind operators to pay attention to safety.

[0039] The equipment is equipped with an emergency stop button, which is installed in a conspicuous and easily accessible location. In case of an emergency during operation, the operator can quickly press the emergency stop button to immediately stop the equipment and prevent accidents. Regular maintenance and upkeep are performed on the equipment, including checking the operating status of motor 4, the wear condition of the transmission belt 9, and the tightness of connections for all components. Potential safety hazards should be identified and addressed promptly to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the equipment.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. 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.
