Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of poultry hatching equipment, specifically a multi-layer chick hatching box that is easy to clean. Background Technology

[0002] A chick incubator is a specialized device that simulates the incubation environment of a hen, providing constant temperature and humidity to complete the artificial incubation of poultry eggs. The incubator has multiple sets of incubation units arranged vertically inside to improve space utilization and increase the number of chicks incubated at one time. It is a common layout for large-scale chick incubation.

[0003] Currently, most multi-layer chick incubators on the market adopt a fixed shelf structure, meaning that the incubator racks are fixed to the inner wall of the box by bolts or welding. This makes it inconvenient to disassemble and clean, resulting in corners and gaps in the box being difficult to clean. Especially in the area between the multiple egg racks, cleaning tools cannot reach, and it is easy for lint, eggshell fragments and other dirt to remain, becoming a breeding ground for bacteria, which seriously affects the disinfection effect between batches and the subsequent hatching rate. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that the incubator is fixedly connected to the incubator rack, making it inconvenient to disassemble, which in turn makes cleaning difficult and affects the hatching rate.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: The present invention proposes a multi-layer chick incubator that is easy to clean, including a box body and sliding guide rails arranged on both sides of the box body, and also includes a pull-out component slidably arranged in the sliding guide rails. The sliding guide rails and the pull-out component are arranged in multiple sets corresponding to each other along the height direction, and also includes a heating component and a humidifying component.

[0006] The pull-out assembly includes a support compartment with two ends slidably mounted on sliding guide rails on both sides via sliders. A storage cavity is provided within the support compartment, and a collection drawer slides within the storage cavity. The collection drawer is a cuboid structure with an open top, and its left and right edges are slidably connected to the slide rails of the storage cavity. The collection drawer passes through the storage cavity and extends to the outside. A support recess is provided at the top of the support compartment, and positioning posts are provided at the four corners of the support recess. The assembly also includes an incubation rack, with positioning holes corresponding to the positioning posts at the four corners of the bottom of the incubation rack. Multiple sets of placement slots are evenly distributed on the incubation rack.

[0007] Preferred technical solution 1: The placement slots are arranged in a rectangular array with multiple sets. The placement slots of the incubation rack are provided with ventilation holes. At the same time, air grooves are provided between each row of placement slots on the incubation rack to facilitate the uniform flow of high-temperature air and increase the internal temperature stability of the equipment.

[0008] Preferred technical solution 2: A hot air blower is provided on the rear wall of the box, and multiple sets of air outlets are evenly distributed on the rear wall inside the box. The air outlets are connected to the hot air blower through hot air pipes, and an exhaust port is provided at the bottom of the box.

[0009] Preferred technical solution 3: The humidification component includes a humidifier at the top and multiple sets of humidification tubes arranged on the rear wall of the box along the height direction corresponding to the pull-out component, and the bottom of the humidification tube is provided with a mist outlet.

[0010] Preferred technical solution four: The incubation rack is also provided with lifting handles on both sides.

[0011] Preferred technical solution five: The front side of the box is hinged with a sealing door, and an observation window is provided on the sealing door.

[0012] Preferred technical solution six: Temperature and humidity sensors are installed at the four corners of the rear wall inside the box, and a controller is installed on the sealed door. The temperature and humidity sensors, hot air blower and humidifier are all electrically connected to the controller.

[0013] The present invention proposes a multi-layer chick incubator that is easy to clean. The beneficial effects achieved by adopting the above structure are as follows:

[0014] (1) By using the sliding guide rail and the pull-out component, the pull-out component can be pulled out of the box as a whole. Combined with the detachable connection between the positioning column and the positioning hole between the incubation rack and the support compartment, as well as the pull-out collection drawer in the support compartment, the incubation rack can be quickly disassembled and rinsed, and the collection drawer can be easily cleaned. It can be thoroughly cleaned without going deep into the box, which completely solves the problem of inconvenient cleaning caused by the fixed connection between the inside and the incubation rack of traditional incubation boxes. It effectively reduces the accumulation of feces, eggshell fragments and other debris, reduces the risk of bacterial growth, provides a clean environment for chick hatching, and helps to improve the hatching rate.

[0015] (2) By using temperature and humidity sensors to monitor environmental data in different areas in real time, and in conjunction with a hot air blower electrically connected to the controller, a hot air pipe structure with multiple air outlets, and a humidifying pipe with directional mist outlets corresponding to the pull-out components, hot air can be evenly blown to each layer of the incubation rack and water mist can be precisely covered on each layer of eggs. At the same time, combined with the air grooves on the incubation racks and the ventilation holes at the bottom of the placement slots, the air circulation inside the box is further promoted, ensuring that the temperature and humidity are stable within the suitable incubation range of 37.8-38.5℃ and 55%-65% for chicks, avoiding local temperature and humidity imbalances, providing a stable and high-quality environment for egg development, which is conducive to improving the hatching success rate and health of chicks.

[0016] (3) The pull handles on both sides of the incubation rack facilitate its disassembly, installation, and transportation. The overall pull-out design of the pull-out components and the pull-out structure of the collection drawer simplify the operation process during assembly and incubation. Moreover, the automatic temperature and humidity control function reduces the workload of manual monitoring and adjustment, thus lowering labor costs. In addition, the structural design of each component is simple and highly adaptable. For example, the collection drawer can be lined with absorbent filter paper to assist in cleaning, and the size of the incubation rack placement slot is adapted to the size of the eggs. This not only improves the convenience of use but also reduces the maintenance costs caused by complex operation or incompatible parts, making it highly practical and worthy of promotion.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a multi-layer chick incubator that is easy to clean includes a box body 1 and sliding guide rails 2 arranged on both sides inside the box body 1, and also includes a pull-out component that is slidably arranged in the sliding guide rails 2. The sliding guide rails 2 and the pull-out component are arranged in multiple sets along the height direction, and also includes a heating component and a humidifying component.

[0028] The pull-out assembly includes a support compartment 3 with sliders at both ends, slidably mounted on sliding guide rails 2 on both sides. The support compartment 3 contains a storage cavity, and a collection drawer 4 slides within the storage cavity. The collection drawer 4 is a cuboid structure with an open top, made of food-grade PP plastic. Its left and right edges are slidably connected to the slide rails of the storage cavity. The collection drawer 4 extends through the storage cavity and outwards. The collection drawer 4 can be fully pushed into the storage cavity and can also be pulled out along the slide rails to the outside of the box 1. An absorbent filter paper layer can be placed inside the drawer to collect debris such as feces and eggshell fragments that fall from above. A support recess is provided on the top of the support compartment 3. The support platform is equipped with positioning posts 5 at the four corners and an incubation rack 6. The bottom four corners of the incubation rack 6 are provided with positioning holes corresponding to the positioning posts 5. The incubation rack 6 is evenly provided with multiple sets of placement slots 7 for placing eggs. When in use, the collection drawer 4 is used to collect debris falling from above, making cleaning simple and efficient. Each placement slot 7 is a hemispherical cavity with a diameter of 40-45mm and a depth of 20mm, which is suitable for the size of eggs. Each placement slot 7 has 3-4 ventilation holes 8 at the bottom. In order to facilitate the cleaning of the incubation rack 6 and the overall placement, the incubation rack 6 is also provided with lifting handles 15 on both sides.

[0029] like Figure 5 As shown, the placement slots 7 are arranged in a rectangular array with multiple sets. The placement slots 7 of the incubation rack 6 are provided with ventilation holes 8. At the same time, air grooves 9 are provided between each row of placement slots 7 on the incubation rack 6 to facilitate the uniform flow of high-temperature air and increase the internal temperature stability of the equipment.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, to increase the uniformity of heating the air inside the chamber 1, a hot air blower 10 is installed on the rear wall of the chamber 1. Multiple sets of air vents 11 are evenly distributed on the rear wall of the chamber 1. The air vents 11 are connected to the hot air blower 10 through hot air pipes 12 to achieve uniform heating. An exhaust port is provided at the bottom of the chamber 1. The humidification component includes a humidifier 13 at the top and multiple sets of humidification pipes 14 along the height direction of the rear wall of the chamber 1, corresponding to the pull-out component. Each humidification pipe 14 has a mist outlet at its bottom, with 4-5 mist outlets evenly distributed at the bottom of each humidification pipe 14. The mist outlets face the corresponding incubation rack 6 to ensure that the water mist evenly covers the eggs on each layer.

[0032] A sealing door 16 is hinged to the front of the enclosure 1, and an observation window is provided on the sealing door 16. Temperature and humidity sensors, model SHT30, are installed at the four corners of the rear wall inside the enclosure 1. There are four sensors in total, which are fixed to the four corners of the rear wall inside the enclosure 1 with screws. They are used to detect the temperature and humidity data of different areas inside the enclosure in real time. A controller 17 is installed on the sealing door 16. The temperature and humidity sensors, the hot air blower 10, and the humidifier 13 are all electrically connected to the controller 17.

[0033] When the detected temperature is below 37.8℃, the hot air blower will automatically start to heat the air; when the temperature is above 38.5℃, the exhaust regulating valve will automatically open to exhaust and cool the air; when the humidity is below 55%, the humidifier will automatically start; when the humidity is above 65%, the humidifier will automatically turn off, ensuring that the temperature and humidity inside the chamber are stable within the suitable range for chick incubation: temperature 37.8-38.5℃ and humidity 55%-65%.

[0034] During assembly: Push the collection drawer into the storage cavity along the slide rail of the support compartment, then align the positioning hole of the incubator rack with the positioning post of the support compartment, lower the incubator rack to complete the positioning installation, and finally push the pull-out assembly into the box through the slider along the sliding guide rail, and close the sealing door.

[0035] During incubation: The controller sets appropriate temperature and humidity parameters, and the temperature and humidity sensor monitors the environment inside the chamber in real time. The controller automatically controls the operation of the hot air blower, humidifier and exhaust port regulating valve based on the detection data. Hot air is evenly blown to each layer of the incubation rack through the air outlet of the hot air pipe, and water mist is evenly covered to the eggs through the mist outlet of the humidifier pipe. The air trough and ventilation hole work together to ensure air circulation in the incubation rack and maintain consistent temperature and humidity in all positions.

[0036] During cleaning: Open the sealed door, pull the entire pull-out assembly out of the box along the sliding guide rail, and lift the incubation rack from the support chamber using the lifting handle. The incubation rack can then be rinsed and disinfected. At the same time, pull out the collection drawer, empty the internal debris and clean it. After cleaning, simply reassemble it in the original manner. The entire process does not require going deep into the box, making the operation convenient and efficient.
