Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an egg collecting device that can effectively use space within a chicken house.

(Prior Art) Egg collection in poultry farming facilities where cages are arranged in multiple stages within a chicken house has already been automated.

The eggs laid by the chickens kept in each cage are
The eggs roll out of each cage, ride on a horizontal transfer belt provided along the front surface of each cage, and are transferred toward one end of the cage. Then, on this one end side, eggs are collected by an egg collecting device.
As this egg collection device, the present applicant has already developed
It has been filed as No. 62-134033. This egg collection device will be outlined with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11.

Each cage 2 provided in multiple stages (three stages in the drawing)
An egg collection belt 3 for conveying eggs rolling out from each cage is provided on the front surfaces of the cages a, 2b, and 2c. The eggs collected on one end side of the egg collection belt 3 are held on a mounting section 4 in which mounting rods are arranged in parallel in a comb shape.

The egg collection bucket 5 is swingably supported by a chain arranged vertically in an endless manner. This egg collection bucket 5 has a comb-like receiving piece 5a. Therefore, when the egg collecting bucket 5 moves up on the egg collecting belt 3 side, the receiving pieces 5a of the egg collecting bucket 5 pass between the respective mounting rods of the mounting section 4 and receive eggs. Then, the eggs on the egg collecting bucket 5 are discharged on the descending side.

The egg collection bucket 5 of the egg collection device has a width equal to the width of the egg collection belt 3 multiplied by the number of cage stages. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, if the width of the egg collection belt 3 on the front of the cage is n, then the width of the egg collection bucket 5 is set to at least 3n.
This is because if the egg collection belt 3 is aligned vertically, the width of the egg collection bucket 5 may be n, but since one egg collection bucket 5 sequentially collects the eggs on the placement part 4 of each stage, each This is because each time the eggs are received on the tier, the eggs may collide with each other and break the eggs.

Therefore, in the conventional example, as shown in FIG.
The cages are positioned so as to be shifted by the width n of the egg collection belt 3 of each stage, so that one egg collection bucket 5 can receive the eggs of the egg collection belt 3 of each stage.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) Therefore, in the conventional example described above, the total width of the cages and egg collection belt in each stage is (m + 3n), which means that 2n of the width is wasted compared to when they are simply arranged vertically. It becomes a space. This results in a large loss of space in the entire chicken house.

In addition, the width of the egg collecting bucket 5 is also required to be 3n.
The entire egg collection device will also be large.

(Effect of the invention) Since the present invention is configured as described above,
It is effective as shown below.

Since the rotating body rotates only when the corresponding egg collection bucket passes, FIGS. 10 and 1
Unlike the conventional example shown in FIG. 1, there is no need to shift each stage of cages forward by the width of the egg collecting belt, and multiple stages of cages can be arranged vertically.

Since multi-tiered cages can be arranged vertically, the space inside the poultry house can now be used more effectively than before.

Further, the width of the egg collection bucket may be as long as the width of the egg collection belt. In other words, 5
In the case of a tiered cage, the width of the egg collection bucket would have to be five times the width of the egg collection belt, but in the present invention, it is sufficient that the width is approximately the same as the width of the egg collection belt.

By driving the rotating body by the descending egg collecting bucket, the timing between the descent of the egg collecting bucket and the rotation of the rotating body will not lag, and even if the number of cage stages changes, the timing between the egg collecting bucket and the rotating body will be maintained. There is no need to adjust the interlock timing.
