Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of disinfection device technology, specifically to a disinfection device for hatching frames used in incubators. Background Technology
[0002] Hatching rooms are specialized and standardized spaces or workshops in the poultry farming industry chain that enable the artificial mass hatching of poultry eggs into chicks. Their core function is to efficiently convert "hatching eggs into healthy chicks" by precisely simulating the environmental conditions such as temperature, ventilation, and egg turning during natural incubation. They are a key hub connecting breeding poultry farming and commercial farming, and are widely used in large-scale chicken farms, duck intestine farms, and specialized chick breeding programs.
[0003] During incubation, hatching frames are typically used. These frames are special containers in the incubation room used to hold hatching eggs in the later stages of incubation, assist in hatching, and temporarily store newly hatched chicks. They are the core tool connecting the "incubation stage" and the "chick processing stage" and directly affect the survival rate of the chicks.
[0004] Because hatching frames inevitably accumulate a large number of pathogens during use, they are usually disinfected after use. One disinfection method is immersion disinfection, in which multiple hatching frames are arranged vertically in a disinfection cabinet filled with disinfectant, and then disinfected. After disinfection, they are taken out.
[0005] When disinfecting multiple hatching frames, they are usually placed vertically on a plastic frame and then placed in a disinfection cabinet. However, after the subsequent soaking and disinfection, the plastic frames need to be manually removed by staff. This is because the plastic frames need to be completely submerged in disinfectant during soaking, so staff may get disinfectant on their skin when handling them, which can irritate their skin. Even though staff wear gloves, there is still a possibility of skin contamination. Utility Model Content
[0006] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, the present invention provides a sterilization device for hatching frames in an incubator, which solves the technical problem in the prior art that when sterilizing several hatching frames in an incubator, it is necessary for staff to manually reach into the sterilization machine to take them out one by one, which may easily cause them to be contaminated with disinfectant.
[0007] According to one aspect, at least one embodiment of the present invention provides a sterilization device for hatching frames in an incubator, including a sterilizer with two sterilization boxes mounted on it. The device also includes a placement rack, a turning assembly, a frame placement assembly, a crossbar, and a placement frame. Two placement racks are provided, each placed on one side of the sterilizer.

[0008] Furthermore, the frame is composed of four support frames, which are detachably connected by connecting rods. The four sides, bottom, and top of each support frame are open, and the open area at the bottom of the support frame is smaller than the open area at the top of the support frame.
[0009] Furthermore, the steering assembly includes a steering ring, a steering plate, and a first motor. The steering ring is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame, and a circular groove is formed on the inner sidewall of the steering ring. The steering plate is rotatably mounted in the circular groove of the steering ring. The first motor is mounted on the mounting frame, and the output end of the first motor is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the steering plate.
[0010] Furthermore, the frame placement assembly includes a support cover, a reciprocating screw, a second motor, and a folding assembly. The support cover is fixedly installed on the top of the steering plate. The reciprocating screw is rotatably installed inside the support cover, and a matching crescent-shaped slider is installed on the reciprocating screw.

[0011] Furthermore, the folding assembly includes a fixed frame, a rotating shaft, and a fixed rod. The fixed frames are fixedly installed on both sides of the crescent-shaped slider. The rotating shaft is rotatably installed between the two fixed frames. The crossbar is fixedly installed on the side of the rotating shaft by a fixed block. The fixed frames and the fixed blocks are provided with fixed holes on their sides. The fixed rod is adapted to the fixed holes and is connected to the side of the fixed frame by a connecting rope.
[0012] Furthermore, the connecting assembly includes a support rod, a pull rope, and a hook. The support rod is fixedly installed on both sides of the crossbar, the pull rope is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the support rod, and the top end of the hook is fixedly connected to the other end of the pull rope.
[0013] Furthermore, tie rods are fixedly installed on both sides of the frame.
[0014] Furthermore, the output end of the first motor is fixedly connected to the center position of the steering plate, and the center position of the steering plate and the center of the steering ring are located at the same position.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In this invention, when placing and removing hatching frames, the staff first places multiple hatching frames sequentially onto the placement frame located outside the disinfection box. Then, the frames are connected to the horizontal frame using a connecting component.

[0024] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0025] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this invention illustrates a sterilization device for hatching frames in an incubator according to one embodiment of the present invention. The device includes a sterilizer 1 with two sterilization boxes 2 mounted on it. It also includes a placement rack 3, a turning assembly, a frame placement assembly, a horizontal frame 4, and a placement frame 5. Two placement racks 3 are provided, each placed on one side of the sterilizer 1. Each placement rack 3 is equipped with a turning assembly to rotate the hatching frame to the side of the sterilization box 2 for placement. The turning assembly is equipped with a frame placement assembly for placing the hatching frame into the sterilization box 2. The horizontal frame 4 is mounted on the frame placement assembly, and the placement frame 5 is mounted on the horizontal frame 4 via a connecting assembly.
[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, when disinfecting the hatching frame, the horizontal frame 4 is first moved downwards by the steering assembly and the frame placement assembly, so that the placement frame 5 can be installed on the horizontal frame 4. The steering assembly includes a steering ring 8, a steering plate 9, and a first motor 10. The steering ring 8 is fixedly installed on the placement frame 3, and a circular groove is opened on the inner side wall of the steering ring 8. The steering plate 9 is rotatably installed in the circular groove of the steering ring 8. The first motor 10 is installed on the placement frame 3, and the output end of the first motor 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the steering plate 9. The frame placement assembly includes a support cover 11, a reciprocating screw 12, a second motor 14, and a folding assembly. The support cover 11 is fixedly installed on the top of the steering plate 9. The reciprocating screw 12 is rotatably installed inside the support cover 11, and a matching crescent slider 13 is installed on the reciprocating screw 12. The second motor 14 is installed on the support cover 11, and the output end of the second motor 14 is coaxially fixedly connected to the reciprocating screw 12. The folding assembly is set on the crescent slider 13.
[0027] Specifically, firstly, the first motor 10 is started. Since the output end of the first motor 10 is fixedly connected to the center of the steering plate 9, and the center of the steering plate 9 and the center of the steering ring 8 are at the same position, the output end of the first motor 10 drives the steering plate 9 to rotate, causing it to rotate 90° within the steering ring 8, thus rotating the crossbar 4 to a position parallel to the disinfection box 2. Then, the second motor 14 is started. The output end of the second motor 14 drives the reciprocating screw 12 to rotate within the support cover 11, causing the crescent-shaped slider 13 to move downwards on the reciprocating screw 12. The reciprocating screw 12 then drives the crossbar to move downwards. It should be noted that the shape design of the crescent-shaped slider 13 corresponds to the spiral groove of the reciprocating screw 12. When the reciprocating screw 12 rotates, the sidewall of the helical groove will generate an axial thrust on the crescent-shaped slider 13 embedded therein. The crescent-shaped slider 13 can move along the axial trajectory of the reciprocating screw 12, thereby moving up and down. When the crescent-shaped slider 13 reaches the end of the reciprocating screw 12, the crescent-shaped slider 13 will smoothly transition to the reverse helical groove, thereby realizing reciprocating movement. This is a well-known technology and will not be described in detail. In addition, the inner sidewall of the support cover 11 is provided with a limit groove, and a limit block is slidably installed in the limit groove. The limit block is fixedly connected to the side of the crescent-shaped slider 13, so that the limit block can be rotated and limited. Furthermore, a telescopic protective sleeve is installed on the outside of the reciprocating screw 12 to protect the reciprocating screw 12.
[0028] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, after rotation, the placement frame 5 is installed on the horizontal frame 4 via a connecting assembly. The connecting assembly includes a support rod 18, a pull rope 19, and a hook 20. Support rods 18 are fixedly installed on both sides of the horizontal frame 4, and pull ropes 19 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the support rods 18. The top of the hook 20 is fixedly connected to the other end of the pull rope 19. Specifically, the placement frame 5 consists of four support frames 7, which are detachably connected by connecting rods 6. The four sides, bottom, and top of the support frames 7 are open, and the open area at the bottom of the support frame 7 is smaller than the open area at the top, allowing four hatching frames to be placed sequentially on the four support frames 7. It should be noted that the height of the hatching frame and the height of the support frame 7 are also important factors. With the same degree of placement, after placement, the bottom of the hatching frame can be placed on the bottom of the support frame 7 for support. After placement, the four support frames 7 are placed vertically by the tenon and mortise structure of the connecting rod 6. The top of the support frame 7 has a slot, into which the support rod 18 can be inserted and fixed, thus achieving detachability. After installation, since the two sides of the frame 5 are fixedly installed with pull brackets 21, the pull hook 20 can be hooked onto the pull bracket 21 by the pull rope 19, so that the frame 5 is connected to the cross frame 4. After connection, the second motor 14 is started again, which drives the frame 5 to move upward. Then the first motor 10 is started to rotate it 90° to the top of the sterilization box 2.
[0029] After rotation is complete, open the lid of the disinfection box 2, start the first motor 10, and move the frame 5 into the disinfection box 2. After entering, remove the hook 20, and then close the lid for subsequent disinfection.
[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, after disinfection, the cross frame 4 can be folded using the folding assembly to prevent it from taking up too much space. The folding assembly includes a fixed frame 15, a rotating shaft 16, and a fixed rod 17. Fixed frames 15 are fixedly installed on both sides of the crescent slider 13. The rotating shaft 16 is rotatably installed between the two fixed frames 15, and the cross frame 4 is fixedly installed on the side of the rotating shaft 16 by a fixed block 22. Fixed holes are provided on the sides of both the fixed frame 15 and the fixed block 22. The fixed rod 17 is adapted to the fixed holes, and the fixed rod 17 is connected to the side of the fixed frame 15 by a connecting rope. Specifically, after disinfection, the fixed rod 17 is pulled out of the fixed holes of the fixed frame 15 and the fixed block 22, and then the rotating shaft 16 is rotated. Under the action of gravity, the cross frame 4 is vertically downward, thus preventing the cross frame 4 from being placed horizontally. When moving, the fixed rod 17 is inserted into the fixed holes of the fixed block 22 and the fixed plate to fix it.
[0031] Working principle: When disinfecting the hatching frames, the staff first places the four hatching frames on the four support frames 7 in sequence. After placement, the bottom of the hatching frame can be placed on the bottom of the support frame 7 for support. After all the frames are placed, the four support frames 7 are placed vertically by connecting rod 6. The top of the support frame 7 has a slot, into which the support rod 18 can be inserted and fixed. After installation, the staff rotates the horizontal frame 4 to a horizontal position, and then inserts the fixing rod 17 into the fixing hole of the fixing plate and fixing block 22 to fix the horizontal frame 4. Then, the hook 20 is hooked onto the pull frame 21 by the pull rope 19 to connect the frame 5 and the horizontal frame 4.
[0032] After the connection is completed, the second motor 14 is started. The output end of the second motor 14 drives the reciprocating screw 12 to rotate inside the support cover 11, thereby causing the crescent slider 13 to move down on the reciprocating screw 12. The reciprocating screw 12 then drives the crossbar to move up. Then the first motor 10 is started, and the output end of the first motor 10 drives the steering plate 9 to rotate, causing the steering plate 9 to rotate 90° inside the steering ring 8, so that the crossbar 4 and the placement frame 5 rotate to the top of the disinfection box 2. Then the staff opens the lid of the disinfection box 2, continues to start the second motor 14, and drives the placement frame 5 to move down into the disinfection box 2. Then the hook 20 is disengaged from the pull frame 21.
[0033] like Figure 6As shown, after placement, a pipe connects the sterilizer 1 and the sterilizer box 2, allowing the sterilizer 1 to transport the disinfectant water stored on the side into the sterilizer box 2. The height of the disinfectant water is equal to the height of the placement frame 5, and the height of the disinfectant water will not exceed the height of the pull frame 21. Then, the hatching frames on the placement frame 5 are soaked and disinfected using the immersion method. After soaking and disinfection, the box lid is opened, and the staff wearing protective gloves hangs the pull hook 20 on the pull frame 21. Because the height of the disinfectant water does not exceed the height of the pull frame 21, the staff will not have to put their hands into the disinfectant water. After hanging, the frame is lifted and left to stand, allowing the disinfectant water adhering to the placement frame 5 to drain and flow down. Once the water has drained sufficiently, the frame is rotated out, and then the placement frame 5 is disassembled to remove the hatching frames. It should be noted that when disinfecting the hatching frames, simple processing can be performed, such as cleaning the feathers inside the hatching frames or washing away any impurities.
[0034] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
