Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pigeon breeding technology, specifically to a pigeon egg incubation device that provides uniform heating. Background Technology

[0002] Pigeon egg incubation is a crucial technical step in the artificial breeding of pigeons. By simulating the natural incubation environment, it provides fertilized pigeon eggs with suitable temperature, humidity, and ventilation conditions to promote normal embryonic development until hatching. During the incubation process, the incubation temperature needs to be strictly controlled at 37.8±0.2℃. The application of pigeon egg incubation technology not only improves the breeding efficiency of pigeons and ensures the quality of breeding pigeons, but also provides a reliable guarantee for the large-scale production of nutritious foods such as pigeon meat and pigeon eggs.

[0003] In existing technologies, traditional incubation equipment mostly adopts a single heat source layout with a top heating pipe and a fan. This design results in extremely uneven temperature distribution inside the chamber, with measured temperature differences reaching ±3℃ (while the precise temperature required for pigeon egg embryo development is 37.8±0.2℃). This can easily cause localized overheating damage to pigeon eggs or stagnation of development due to low temperatures. More importantly, relying solely on air convection for heat transfer has obvious defects, as heat needs to slowly penetrate through the eggshell surface to the interior. This leads to slow development of the embryo in the early stages (especially the first 3 days) due to low heat conduction efficiency, directly affecting the uniformity of hatching and the physical condition of the chicks. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a pigeon egg incubation device for uniform heating, comprising a box with a closable and sealed door at the front end. A horizontal partition is fixed inside the box, dividing it into an upper biological incubation chamber and a lower equipment installation chamber.

Each egg-holding unit is also equipped with an NTC sensor, which is embedded under the positioning cotton to monitor the surface temperature of the eggshell. A water supply component is installed in the lower equipment installation cavity. The inlet and outlet of the serpentine heat pipe are connected to the water supply component through hoses. A constant temperature fluid is injected into the serpentine heat pipe through the water supply component, and the heat energy is conducted to the bottom surface of the egg-holding unit through the thermally conductive silicone pad. Combined with the biomimetic texture of the positioning cotton, the pigeon egg is heated.

[0015] 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.

[0016] Please see Figures 1-6This utility model provides an embodiment of a pigeon egg incubation device for pigeon farming with uniform heating, comprising a box body 1, with an openable and closable sealed door 2 at the front end. A horizontal partition 3 is fixed inside the box body 1, dividing it into an upper biological incubation chamber 4 and a lower equipment installation chamber 5. Universal wheels 6 with braking function are installed at the bottom of the box body 1. A constant temperature bearing tray 7 is installed inside the biological incubation chamber 4 via a linear displacement mechanism. The surface of the constant temperature bearing tray 7 is provided with matrix-style independent egg-holding units 8. Positioning cotton 9 is adhered to the inner wall of each egg-holding unit 8, and the surface of the positioning cotton 9 is processed with a biomimetic texture. To simulate the feather texture on the abdomen of an organism, a constant-temperature support tray 7 has an axially penetrating heat exchange chamber 10 inside. A support member 11 is fixedly connected inside the heat exchange chamber 10, and a continuous serpentine heat pipe path 12 is arranged through the support member 11. The outer surface of the heat pipe path 12 is in flexible contact with the bottom of each egg-holding unit 8 through a thermally conductive silicone pad. Each egg-holding unit 8 is also equipped with an NTC sensor, which is embedded under the positioning cotton 9 to monitor the surface temperature of the eggshell. A water supply assembly is installed in the lower equipment mounting cavity 5, and the inlet and outlet of the serpentine heat pipe path 12 are both connected to a flexible hose 28. Connected to the water supply assembly; a constant-temperature fluid is injected into the serpentine heat pipe 12 through the water supply assembly, and the heat energy is conducted to the bottom surface of the egg-holding unit 8 through the thermally conductive silicone pad layer. Combined with the biomimetic texture of the positioning cotton 9, the pigeon egg is heated. The structure of the box 1 adopts a double-layer polyurethane foam sandwich design, with the outer layer being cold-rolled steel plate and the inner layer being food-grade stainless steel plate. The sealed door 2 has a double-layer silicone sealing strip and is connected to the box 1 by hinges. The horizontal partition plate 3 is made of aluminum alloy and is fixed to the inside of the box 1 by bolts. Cable penetration holes are opened on the surface of the partition plate for the passage of heat pipe 12 and sensor cables. The heat-bearing tray 7 is made of aluminum alloy with good thermal conductivity. The inner wall of each egg-holding unit 8 is pasted with positioning cotton 9 (made of memory foam). The surface is processed with a biomimetic texture to simulate the arc-shaped groove structure of the parent pigeon's abdominal feathers. The biomimetic texture increases the contact area between the pigeon egg and the positioning cotton 9. At the same time, the elasticity of the memory foam fixes the pigeon egg and prevents it from rolling and colliding. The serpentine heat pipe 12 is made of copper pipe bent into a continuous serpentine structure and is arranged in the support 11 (made of polytetrafluoroethylene) in the heat exchange chamber 10. The outer surface of the pipe is covered with a thermally conductive silicone pad layer and flows through the fluid (constant temperature water, temperature 37.5-38°C).The water circulates within the pipeline (5℃), evenly transferring heat to the bottom surface of the egg-holding unit 8. A silicone pad eliminates thermal resistance between the pipeline and the tray. The water supply assembly provides circulating water at a stable temperature. An NTC sensor with a built-in thermistor, whose resistance decreases as temperature rises, calculates the temperature by measuring the resistance change. The NTC sensor is embedded under the positioning cotton 9, close to the bottom of the egg-holding unit 8, directly sensing the temperature of the egg contact surface and avoiding interference from ambient temperature. During operation, the NTC sensor converts the temperature signal into an electrical signal, which is transmitted to the controller (such as a PID controller). Comparing this signal with the set temperature, the controller adjusts the fluid temperature of the water supply assembly based on the temperature difference, ensuring the eggs are at the optimal incubation temperature. A linear displacement mechanism slides within the upper biological incubation chamber 4, thereby moving the constant-temperature holding tray 7, facilitating the handling of the eggs.

[0017] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 A further embodiment of this solution is as follows: An axial flow fan 13 is installed in the lower equipment mounting cavity 5. The air outlet of the axial flow fan 13 is connected to a heating box 14 with a built-in electric heating tube. The outlet of the heating box 14 is connected to a rigid air pipe 15. The output port of the rigid air pipe 15 is connected to an air supply pipe 16. The air outlet of the air supply pipe 16 is connected to a branch pipe 17. The output port of the branch pipe 17 is connected to an air nozzle 18. Each air nozzle 18 is located on the upper side of the egg-containing unit 8. The axial flow fan 13 is installed at the bottom of the equipment mounting cavity 5 and is powered by a motor. The impeller is driven to rotate to generate forced airflow. The heating chamber 14 has a built-in electric heating tube (the surface temperature is controllable). The heating chamber 14 heats the ambient air to the set temperature (37.5-38.5℃) to form uniform hot air, which provides an auxiliary heat source for the upper incubation chamber. The rigid air pipe 15 (made of galvanized steel pipe) connects the outlet of the heating chamber 14 to the air supply pipe 16 (made of PVC). The rigid air pipe 15 ensures that the hot air is delivered without leakage. The branch pipe 17 and the air nozzle 18 realize the precise distribution of hot air (each egg-holding unit 8 corresponds to 1 air nozzle 18).

[0018] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5A further solution based on this embodiment is as follows: A horizontally arranged baffle 19 is provided in the upper biological incubation chamber 4. An array of ventilation holes 20 are opened on the surface of the baffle 19. An airflow distribution net 21 is detachably connected to each ventilation hole 20. An air outlet 18 is located in the ventilation hole 20. The baffle 19 (made of aluminum alloy) is horizontally arranged at the top of the incubation chamber. An airflow distribution net 21 (made of stainless steel wire mesh) is embedded in each ventilation hole 20. The ventilation hole 20 guides the hot air to be delivered vertically downward. The airflow distribution net 21 disperses the hot air into a fine airflow (flow velocity 0.3-0.5m / s) to avoid direct blowing and sudden changes in the surface temperature of the pigeon egg. The air outlet 18 is inserted into the ventilation hole 20 and fixed by a snap-fit ​​structure to ensure that the hot air accurately covers the egg-containing unit 8. At the same time, the distribution net eliminates airflow turbulence and makes the heat exchange on the surface of the pigeon egg uniform.

[0019] Please see Figure 2 A further solution based on this embodiment is as follows: The linear displacement mechanism includes a slide rail 22 disposed on the side wall of the upper biological incubation chamber 4, a slider 23 slidably connected to the slide rail 22, a connecting seat 24 fixedly connected to the connecting surface of the slider 23, a receiving plate 25 fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting seat 24, and the upper surface of the receiving plate 25 detachably connected to the lower part of the constant temperature carrying tray 7. The slide rail 22 (model HGW20CA) is fixedly connected to the side wall of the incubation chamber, and the connecting surface of the slider 23 is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 24 (material aluminum alloy) by bolts to provide guidance for the receiving plate 25 and ensure the stable movement of the constant temperature carrying tray 7.

[0020] Please see Figure 3 A further solution based on this embodiment is as follows: The water supply assembly includes a water pump 26 and a constant temperature water tank 27 installed in the lower equipment mounting cavity 5. The outlet port of the water pump 26 is connected to the inlet hose 28 of the serpentine heat pipe 12, and the inlet port of the water pump 26 is connected to the outlet of the constant temperature water tank 27. The inlet of the constant temperature water tank 27 is connected to the outlet hose 28 of the serpentine heat pipe 12. The water pump 26 (model CDL2-12) is installed in the equipment mounting cavity 5. The inlet end is connected to the constant temperature water tank 27 (with a liquid level sensor), and the outlet end is connected to the inlet of the serpentine heat pipe 12 through the hose 28 (made of silicone, temperature resistant to 100℃). The constant temperature water tank 27 is equipped with a heating rod (power 1kW) and a cooling coil (copper) to maintain the water temperature at 37.8±0.2℃, which is used to provide circulating water at a stable temperature, ensure that the inlet water temperature of the heat pipe 12 is constant, and prevent the water tank from overheating through the cooling coil.

[0021] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 6A further solution based on this embodiment is as follows: a positioning groove 30 is provided on the upper surface of the receiving plate 25, and a limiting protrusion 29 adapted to the positioning groove 30 is integrally fixed to the lower end face of the constant temperature bearing tray 7. The limiting protrusion 29 is inserted into the positioning groove 30. Through the mechanical interlock between the limiting protrusion 29 and the positioning groove 30, the constant temperature bearing tray 7 can be quickly positioned, while preventing the tray from shifting in a vibration environment.

[0022] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 6 A further solution based on this embodiment is as follows: permanent magnets are provided on the contact surfaces of the limiting protrusion 29 and the positioning groove 30, the limiting protrusion 29 and the positioning groove 30 are magnetically connected, neodymium iron boron permanent magnets (model N52) are embedded at the bottom of the positioning groove 30 of the receiving plate 25, and iron magnetic plates are embedded in the limiting protrusion 29 of the constant temperature bearing tray 7. The automatic alignment and firm connection between the tray and the receiving plate 25 are achieved by magnetic attraction, without the need for manual locking.

[0023] Working principle: First, start the water supply component in the lower equipment installation cavity 5. The water pump 26 delivers the circulating water in the constant temperature water tank 27 to the serpentine heat pipe 12 (made of bent copper pipe) through the silicone hose 28. The heat pipe 12 evenly conducts the heat energy to the bottom surface of each egg-shaped unit 8 of the constant temperature bearing tray 7 through the heat-conducting silicone pad. Meanwhile, the axial fan 13 draws ambient air into the heating chamber 14, which is heated by the electric heating tube and then transported to the branch pipe 17 through the galvanized steel rigid air pipe 15 and the PVC air supply pipe 16. Finally, the hot air is sent into the upper biological incubation chamber 4 by the air outlet 18 (one for each egg-holding unit 8). The hot air is dispersed into a fine airflow of 0.3-0.5m / s through the array of ventilation holes 20 (embedded with stainless steel wire mesh) on the surface of the baffle 19, avoiding direct blowing on the pigeon eggs. The air outlet 18 is inserted into the ventilation hole 20 and fixed by the buckle to ensure that the hot air accurately covers the egg-holding unit 8. Pigeon eggs are placed in matrix-style independent egg-containing units 8 of constant temperature bearing tray 7. The surface of the memory foam positioning cotton 9 on the inner wall of the egg-containing unit 8 is processed with biomimetic texture (arc grooves that simulate the abdominal feathers of the parent pigeon). The pigeon eggs are fixed by elasticity and the contact area is increased to prevent rolling and collision. The NTC sensor embedded under the positioning cotton 9 monitors the surface temperature of the eggshell in real time, and the data is transmitted to the control motherboard through the cable hole. When pigeon eggs need to be retrieved or placed, the linear displacement mechanism is driven by the slide rail 22 and the slider 23, which drives the receiving plate 25 and the constant temperature bearing tray 7 to slide along the side wall. The limiting protrusion 29 (embedded iron magnetic plate) at the bottom of the tray and the positioning groove 30 (embedded neodymium iron boron permanent magnet) of the receiving plate 25 are automatically aligned and firmly connected by magnetic attraction to prevent vibration and displacement.
