Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of egg-laying box technology, specifically to a small egg-laying box with a unified opening and closing mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the opening and closing of the small egg-laying box requires manual operation of the flap cover, as shown in the attached image. Figure 1 As shown, the flap needs to be manually opened every morning to allow hens to enter the burrow and lay eggs, and then manually closed in the afternoon to prevent hens from brooding and defecating in the burrow. The whole process is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and very strenuous. As a result, the farmers complain and there are frequent instances where the flap cannot be opened and closed on time, which in turn causes losses to the farm. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a small egg-laying box with a unified opening and closing mechanism. The small egg-laying box is driven by a lifting mechanism to raise and lower the top of the chamber. When it is raised and lowered, it can change the size of the opening. At this time, the hen can enter the egg-laying chamber through the enlarged opening without the need for manual flipping of the flap to open the opening. It is more time-saving and labor-saving in application.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:
[0005] A type of small egg-laying box with a unified opening and closing mechanism includes an egg-laying chamber. The top of the egg-laying chamber is raised and lowered by a lifting drive mechanism. The egg-laying chamber has an opening on one side, and the size of the opening can be changed when the top of the chamber is raised and lowered by the lifting drive mechanism.
[0006] Using the above solution, the small egg-laying box is driven by a lifting mechanism to raise and lower the top of the chamber. When it is raised and lowered, it can change the size of the opening. At this time, the hen can enter the egg-laying chamber through the enlarged opening without the need for manual flipping of the flap to open the opening. It is more time-saving and labor-saving in application.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of a small egg-laying box with unified opening and closing, there are multiple egg-laying chambers arranged side by side, with multiple egg-laying chambers sharing a single roof. Each egg-laying chamber has a rotating flap installed on its roof.
[0008] In order to improve economic efficiency, the above scheme adopts a layout of multiple egg-laying rooms in parallel, with the room roof raised and lowered by a lifting drive mechanism. During the raising and lowering, the size of all openings can be changed at the same time, which is more time-saving and labor-saving in application.
[0009] As a preferred implementation of a small egg-laying box with unified opening and closing, a limiting block is also installed at the bottom of the chamber roof to prevent the flap from flipping inward, so that the flap can only be opened outward in one direction.
[0010] In order to enable hens to lay eggs regularly, the flap can only be opened outwards in one direction. Hens cannot freely enter through the opening. Only when the roof is raised can the opening be widened, allowing hens to enter the egg-laying chamber and thus enabling them to lay eggs regularly.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment of a small egg-laying box with a unified opening and closing mechanism, the two ends of the chamber roof are respectively limited to two brackets, and the two brackets are slidably installed in lifting guide rails fixed to the egg-laying chamber.
[0012] By adopting the above solution, in order to achieve stable lifting and lowering of the roof, the entire roof is supported by a bracket, which makes the lifting and lowering along the lifting guide rail more stable and prevents the roof from shaking.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of a uniformly opening and closing small egg-laying box, the lifting drive mechanism includes a winch as a power unit, which can drive the horizontally arranged main steel wire rope to move horizontally; the lifting drive mechanism also includes multiple suspension steel wires as traction devices, with each suspension steel wire having its two ends connected to the bracket on the top of the chamber and the main steel wire rope respectively, and each suspension steel wire being guided to rise and fall by pulleys.
[0014] Using the above scheme, in order to achieve the lifting and lowering drive of the roof, the main steel wire rope is moved horizontally by a winch, and each suspension steel wire can be moved vertically under the guidance of pulleys, thereby driving the roof to rise and fall.
[0015] As a preferred embodiment of a small egg-laying box with a unified opening and closing mechanism, the pulley is suspended from a hook on the ceiling; the pulley is inclined, with an angle of 45 degrees between it and the vertical plane.
[0016] To further improve the stability of the roof traction using the above scheme, the pulley is tilted in the direction of the main wire rope movement. This results in less force, making the roof traction more stable and reliable.
[0017] As a preferred implementation of a small egg-laying box with a unified opening and closing mechanism, the bottom plate of the egg-laying chamber gradually slopes downwards towards the opening.
[0018] Using the above method, in order to facilitate egg collection, the bottom plate of the egg-laying room is tilted, so that the hen will roll out of the egg-laying room after laying the egg.
[0019] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0020] 1. The small egg-laying box is driven by a lifting mechanism to raise and lower the top of the chamber. When it is raised and lowered, it can change the size of the opening. At this time, the hen can enter the egg-laying chamber through the enlarged opening without the need for manual flipping of the flap to open the opening. It is more time-saving and labor-saving when used.
[0021] 2. In order to improve economic efficiency, multiple egg-laying rooms are arranged side by side, and the room roof is raised and lowered by a lifting drive mechanism. During the raising and lowering, the size of all openings can be changed at the same time, which is more time-saving and labor-saving in application.
[0022] 3. In order to enable hens to lay eggs regularly, the flap can only be opened outward in one direction. Hens cannot freely enter through the opening. Only when the roof of the chamber is raised can the opening be widened, allowing hens to enter the egg-laying chamber through the opening, thus enabling hens to lay eggs regularly.
[0023] 4. In order to achieve stable lifting and lowering of the ceiling, the entire ceiling is supported by a bracket, which makes it more stable when lifting and lowering along the lifting guide rail, and there will be no swaying of the ceiling.
[0024] 5. To achieve the lifting and lowering drive of the roof, the main steel wire rope is moved horizontally by the winch. Each suspension steel wire, guided by the pulley, can move vertically, thereby driving the roof to rise and fall. To further improve the stability of the roof traction, the pulley is tilted in the direction of the main steel wire rope movement. At this time, the force is smaller, so the roof traction will be more stable and reliable.
[0025] 6. To facilitate egg collection, the floor of the egg-laying chamber is tilted so that the hens will roll out of the chamber after laying their eggs. Attached Figure Description

[0039] 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.
[0040] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, a small, uniformly opening and closing egg-laying box includes an egg-laying chamber 1. The roof 2 of the egg-laying chamber 1 is raised and lowered by a lifting drive mechanism. One side of the egg-laying chamber 1 has an opening 3. The size of the opening 3 can be changed when the roof 2 is raised and lowered. This small egg-laying box, with its roof 2 raised and lowered by the lifting drive mechanism, changes the size of the opening 3 during this process. The hen can then enter the egg-laying chamber 1 through the enlarged opening 3 without the need for manual operation of the flap 4 to open the opening 3, making it more time-saving and labor-saving in use.
[0041] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, there are multiple egg-laying chambers 1 arranged side by side, sharing a single roof 2. Each egg-laying chamber 1 has a rotating flap 4 mounted on its roof 2. To improve economic efficiency, a side-by-side layout of multiple egg-laying chambers 1 is adopted, with a lifting drive mechanism that raises and lowers the roof 2. During the raising and lowering process, the size of all openings 3 can be changed simultaneously, making the application more time-saving and labor-saving.
[0042] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, a limiting block 5 is also installed at the bottom of the roof 2 to prevent the flap 4 from opening inwards, so that the flap 4 can only open outwards in one direction. In order to enable the hen to lay eggs regularly, the flap 4 can only open outwards in one direction, and the hen cannot freely enter from the opening 3. Only when the roof 2 is raised, the opening 3 is widened, and the hen can enter the laying chamber 1 from the opening 3, thereby enabling the hen to lay eggs regularly.
[0043] like Figures 5 to 6 , Figure 8 As shown, the two ends of the roof 2 are respectively confined to two brackets 6, and the two brackets 6 are slidably installed in the lifting guide rails 7 fixed to the egg-laying chamber 1. In order to achieve stable lifting and lowering of the roof 2, the brackets 6 support the entire roof 2, which will be more stable when it lifts and lowers along the lifting guide rails 7, and there will be no shaking of the roof 2.
[0044] like Figures 9 to 10 As shown, the lifting drive mechanism includes a winch as a power unit, which drives the horizontally arranged main steel wire rope to move horizontally. The lifting drive mechanism also includes multiple suspension steel wires as traction devices. The two ends of each suspension steel wire are connected to the bracket 6 of the roof 2 and the main steel wire rope, respectively. Each suspension steel wire is guided to move up and down by pulleys. In order to achieve the lifting drive of the roof 2, the winch drives the main steel wire rope to move horizontally, and each suspension steel wire, guided by the pulleys, can move vertically, thereby driving the roof 2 to move up and down.
[0045] like Figure 11 As shown, the pulleys are suspended from hooks on the ceiling, and each hook has a static tensile force of no less than 100KG. The pulleys are tilted, with an angle of 45 degrees between them and the vertical plane. To further improve the stability of traction on ceiling 2, the pulleys are tilted in the direction of movement of the main steel wire rope. At this time, the force is smaller, so the traction on ceiling 2 will be more stable and reliable.
[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, the bottom plate 8 of the egg-laying chamber 1 gradually slopes downwards towards the opening 3. To facilitate egg collection, the bottom plate 8 of the egg-laying chamber 1 is tilted, so that the eggs will roll out of the egg-laying chamber 1 after the hen lays them.
[0047] The working principle of this utility model:
[0048] When applying this method, it is important to note that hens typically lay eggs in the morning.
[0049] In the morning, the staff starts the winch, which moves the main steel wire rope horizontally. Guided by pulleys, each suspension wire moves vertically, thus lifting the roof 2. At this time, all openings 3 expand simultaneously until they are fully open. Figure 2 As shown, the hen will enter the laying chamber 1 through the opening 3 to lay eggs. Because the bottom plate 8 of the laying chamber 1 is set at an incline, the hen will roll out of the laying chamber 1 after laying eggs.
[0050] In the afternoon, the staff restarted the winch, which moved the main steel cable horizontally. Each suspension wire, guided by pulleys, moved vertically, causing the roof 2 to descend. At this time, all openings 3 simultaneously narrowed, preventing hens from entering the laying room 1 through openings 3. However, the flap 4 could still open outwards in one direction, allowing hens inside the laying room 1 to exit. Because the roof 2 made a sound as it descended, or because bells were hung on it, the sound would cause stress and drive the hens away from the laying room 1. Therefore, when the roof 2 descended to the point where openings 3 were closed, if... Figure 3 As shown, there are very few hens left in the egg-laying room 1 at this time.
[0051] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are 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 shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
