Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of egg collection and separation technology, specifically an automatic egg collection and separation device for laying hen breeding. Background Technology
[0002] Egg-laying hens are chickens raised specifically to produce eggs. Unlike broiler chickens, the main focus of raising egg-laying hens is to improve egg quality and maintain or increase egg production, rather than to improve chicken meat quality. Eggs are the main source of income for raising egg-laying hens.
[0003] Currently, egg collection and separation in egg-laying hen farming are usually done manually by workers, requiring multiple collections per day (2-3 times in the morning and 1-2 times in the afternoon). Preliminary sorting and cleaning of the eggs are also necessary. Manual egg collection is labor-intensive, inefficient, and prone to egg breakage. Furthermore, relying solely on visual inspection for grading results in low accuracy. Therefore, we propose an automated egg collection and separation device for egg-laying hen farming to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic egg collection and separation device for laying hen breeding, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic egg collection and separation device for laying hen breeding, comprising a support frame, wherein the bottom ends of a plurality of support columns are fixedly connected to the top two ends of the support frame, the top ends of the plurality of support columns are fixedly connected to the bottom two ends of a base frame, the bottom three edges of the base frame are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of a fence, the top end of the fence is fixedly connected to a top plate, and a sliding door is movably provided at one bottom end of the top plate, wherein the opposite ends of the sliding door are fixedly connected to the fence. A conveyor is provided at the bottom of the bottom frame near the sliding door. The conveyor is mounted on a baffle. The bottom end of the baffle is fixedly connected to the top end of the support frame. An egg separator is provided at the bottom of one end of the conveyor. The egg separator is fixedly connected to the support frame. A collection groove is recessed at the top of the egg separator. Multiple egg discharge holes are provided through the bottom of the collection groove. Egg discharge tubes are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the multiple egg discharge holes. A scraper is slidably contacted on the bottom wall of the collection groove. One end of the scraper is fixedly connected to the output shaft of a reduction motor. The reduction motor is fixedly installed inside the egg separator.
[0006] Preferably, the support frame has an installation opening on one side, into which a collection drawer is inserted. The collection drawer is located at the bottom of the base frame, and a handle is fixedly connected to one end of the collection drawer.
[0007] Preferably, the bottom frame is positioned diagonally downwards toward the conveyor.

[0014] 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. Example
[0015] Reference Figure 1 , 2This is the first embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment provides an automatic egg collection and separation device for laying hen breeding, including a support frame 1. The top two ends of the support frame 1 are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom ends of multiple support columns 2. The top ends of the multiple support columns 2 are fixedly connected to the bottom two ends of the bottom frame 3. The three sides of the bottom frame 3 are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the fence 4. The top end of the fence 4 is fixedly connected to the top plate 5. A sliding door 6 is movably provided at one bottom end of the top plate 5. The opposite ends of the sliding door 6 are respectively fixedly connected to the fence 4. A conveyor 8 is provided at the bottom of the bottom frame 3 near the sliding door 6. The conveyor 8 is installed on the baffle 7. The bottom end of the baffle 7 is fixedly connected to the top end of the support frame 1. An egg separator 11 is provided at the bottom of one end of the conveyor 8. The egg separator 11 is fixedly connected to the support frame 1. A collection groove 13 is recessed in the top of the egg separator 11. Multiple egg discharge holes 16 are provided through the bottom of the collection groove 13. Egg discharge tubes 12 are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the multiple egg discharge holes 16 respectively. A scraper 14 is slidably contacted on the bottom wall of the collection groove 13. One end of the scraper 14 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the reduction motor 15. The reduction motor 15 is fixedly installed inside the egg separator 11. Example
[0016] Reference Figure 1-3 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment. Specifically, the support frame 1 has an installation port 101 on one side. A collection tray 9 is inserted into the installation port 101. The collection tray 9 is located at the bottom of the bottom frame 3. A handle 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the collection tray 9. The support frame 1 has a U-shaped structure and multiple support legs are fixedly connected to the bottom. When the laying hens defecate, the chicken droppings pass through the bottom frame 3 and fall into the collection tray 9 for collection. The collection tray 9 is manually removed periodically by pulling out the handle 10 to clean the chicken droppings in the collection tray 9, thereby reducing bacterial growth.
[0017] Specifically, the bottom frame 3 is set diagonally downward toward the conveyor 8. The conveyor 8 is connected to the mains power supply to provide working power. The bottom frame 3 is composed of multiple bottom rods arranged perpendicular to the length direction of the conveyor 8, and each bottom rod is fixed with a vertically arranged crossbar, which improves the connection strength between the multiple bottom rods.
[0018] Specifically, an egg-dropping ramp 17 is provided on the top side of the egg-separating holder 11 near the support frame 1. A buffer pad is fixedly connected to the surface of the egg-dropping ramp 17 to cushion the eggs that fall onto the ramp 17 from the conveyor 8, preventing the eggs from breaking. Then, the eggs roll down the ramp 17 into the collection trough 13. At the same time, the egg-dropping ramp 17 is set at an angle downward toward the collection trough 13, and the end near the bottom frame 3 is higher than the other end, thus achieving the effect of the eggs falling on the ramp 17 towards the bottom frame 3. Figure 3 The left side of the collection tank 13 shown rolls off.
[0019] Specifically, the baffle 7 has an L-shaped structure, and a buffer foam board is fixedly connected to one end of the baffle 7 near the bottom frame 3. When the egg rolls onto the conveyor 8, it buffers and blocks the rolling egg to prevent the egg from breaking.
[0020] Specifically, the egg-discharging holes 16 are evenly distributed around the circumference, and the diameter of the egg-discharging holes 16 is set to increase sequentially. Eggs of different sizes fall into the egg-discharging holes 16 of the corresponding diameter, thereby realizing the grading operation of eggs.
[0021] The working principle and process are as follows: Laying hens are raised within enclosure 4. An inclined bottom frame 3 causes eggs to roll down the frame under gravity onto the conveyor belt of conveyor 8, achieving automatic egg collection and reducing manual intervention. Conveyor 8 is powered on and transports the eggs onto its conveyor belt. The eggs are conveyed towards the egg separator 11 and then fall onto the egg-drop ramp 17, before rolling into the collection trough 13. A reduction motor 15 is powered on, driving a fixed scraper strip 14 to rotate circumferentially. Buffer foam is fixedly connected to both sides of the scraper strip 14 to prevent damage to the eggs when they are moved. The scraper strip 14... Figure 3 The tube rotates counterclockwise, which in turn moves the eggs that fall into the collection trough 13 in a circular motion. The eggs pass through the egg discharge holes 16 with increasing diameters in sequence. When the diameter of the egg discharge hole 16 is larger than the size of the egg, the egg falls into the egg discharge hole 16. An egg conveyor is set at the bottom of the egg discharge tube 12 to transport and collect the sorted eggs.
