Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of egg track cleaning technology, and in particular to a cleaning device for egg conveying tracks in chicken houses. Background Technology
[0002] Against the backdrop of the rapid development of large-scale, intensive chicken farming, the automated collection and transportation of eggs has become a key link in improving breeding efficiency and reducing labor costs. Among them, the egg conveyor track, as the core channel connecting the egg-laying position in the chicken cage and the egg collection device, plays an important role in smoothly transporting eggs from the source of egg production to the subsequent sorting, cleaning, and packaging stages. Its operating status directly affects the integrity and hygiene quality of the eggs.
[0003] However, chicken coop environments are characterized by high humidity and dust levels, and contain pollutants such as chicken droppings, feathers, and eggshell fragments. These pollutants easily accumulate on the surface of the egg conveyor tracks: on the one hand, the friction surface between the tracks and the eggs will form a "dirty layer" due to the adhering pollutants, which may not only contaminate the eggshells through contact but also cause the eggs to tilt and collide during transport due to uneven friction, resulting in an increased breakage rate; on the other hand, the accumulation of debris in the gaps or joints of the tracks may hinder the operation of the equipment, or even cause the tracks to jam, forcing the production line to stop for cleaning, seriously affecting the continuity of the breeding process.
