Description

Low power consumption and high efficiency hatchery

Technical Field

The invention relates to a hatchery system, in particular to a low-electricity-consumption and high-efficiency hatchery which is capable of recycling heat from waste gas and circulating water to improve efficiency.

Background

Hatchery refers to the place where eggs are raised to produce chickens. Eggs are bred into chickens in an incubator, and are living life bodies in the whole incubation process, so that the incubator is required to provide optimal temperature and humidity for the eggs.

The hatching place is put into tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of eggs every day, and chickens are finally produced through a certain process. Hatcheries provide conditions for normal growth and hatching of eggs. The conditions include, for example, fresh air, temperature and humidity, etc. The hatching temperature is too high, which is easy to cause the death of eggs. If the temperature is too low, the chicks cannot be hatched normally, and the chicks are malformed. If the humidity is not proper, the discarding rate of eggs may be increased. Therefore, a large hatching facility is generally built in a professional hatchery, and necessary conditions are provided for the hatcher.

Conventionally, in order to satisfy such conditions of hundreds of thousands of eggs, boilers (boilers) and refrigerators (chillers) for raising or lowering ambient temperatures by electricity have been used. But the power efficiency of such boilers and refrigerators is not high. Therefore, if the boiler and the refrigerator are used for a long time, a lot of electricity fees are generated, and the burden of farmers is increased. Further, the used energy is discarded, and a corresponding amount of heat and cool air is regenerated to be supplied, thereby causing problems of low production efficiency, low efficiency, and the like.

Further, when several hundred thousand eggs are located in multiple shelves, the temperature and humidity conditions required for each shelf may also vary. According to the prior art, the temperature and the humidity required by each frame are not suitable.

Therefore, a solution is needed that can reduce the energy costs of farmers, increase the production efficiency, and reduce the waste rate.

Detailed Description

Figure 1 illustrates a hatchery according to an embodiment of the invention.

The hatchery of an embodiment of the invention provides a place for duck eggs or eggs to hatch under suitable conditions. A plurality of hatching parts (300) are arranged on the hatching place (30). Each hatching part (300) is provided with a shelf capable of containing eggs.

The upper part of the hatchery (30) is provided with a discharge outlet (301) for discharging air in the hatchery (30).

The hatchery (30) may be supplied with hot water, cold water and fresh outside air. The supplied cold and hot water and external air are transferred to the hatching part (300). Each hatching part (300) can request hot water or cold water to the outside in order to keep the internal temperature and humidity properly. The hatching part (300) may comprise a configuration for communication.

The hatchery system of the invention is suitable for being applied in the hatchery (30), and can more effectively meet various conditions such as temperature, humidity and the like required by eggs hatched in the hatchery (30).

Figure 2 illustrates a hatchery system according to an embodiment of the invention.

The hatchery system (1) of an embodiment of the invention is used for keeping the temperature and humidity in the hatching part (300) in the hatchery (30) and can normally hatch.

The hatchery system (1) comprises a hatchery (30), a control unit (100), a water storage unit (107), a heat recovery unit (105), an air conditioner (102), and an exhaust unit (104).

The hatchery (30) is a facility for hatching eggs. The hatching place (30) is internally provided with the conditions required for hatching eggs. The hatchery includes at least one or more hatching parts (300), a passage (320) connecting the hatching parts (300), and a discharge port (301) through which air in the hatchery (30) is discharged to the outside.

The hatching unit (300) houses a plurality of eggs for hatching. The hatching part (300) can provide the temperature and humidity required for hatching eggs. For this purpose, the hatching unit (300) communicates with the control unit (100). The incubation unit (300) can request the control unit (100) to cause the water storage unit (107) and the air conditioner (102) to take necessary measures required to maintain the temperature and humidity.

The hatching part (300) may be provided in a plurality in a hatching place. The hatching part (300) comprises a rack (311), a first water circulation channel (310), a fan (313), an external air inlet (315) and an internal air outlet (317).

The rack (311) is configured to accommodate a plurality of eggs in an aligned manner.

The first water circulation passage (310) provides a passage through which water flowing out of the water storage portion (107) flows in the hatching portion (300). The first water circulation channel (310) may include a first hot water coil (310 a) through which hot water flows and a first cold water coil (310 b) through which cold water flows. The hot water circulating the first water circulating channel (310) radiates heat, the temperature in the hatching part (300) is increased, the cold water absorbs heat, and the temperature in the hatching part (300) is reduced. The hot water passing through the first hot water coil (310 a) does not pass through the water heat recovery unit (105 b) but directly flows to the hot water tank (107 a) of the water storage unit (107). After the cold water passes through the first cold water coil (310 b), the heat in the hatching part (300) is absorbed, and the temperature rises. The present invention is to re-cool water having an increased temperature without using a refrigerator. The invention is to connect piping to make water with temperature rising after passing through a first cold water coil pipe (310 b) flow to a water heat recovery part (105 b). The heat recovery unit (105 b) recovers heat of the water having the increased temperature and then transfers the recovered heat to the hot water tank (107 a). When the temperature of the water passing through the first cold water coil (310 b) does not reach a predetermined temperature, the water passes through the valve unit (106) and directly flows to the cold water tank (107 b) of the water storage unit (107). To this end, a sensor may be provided to measure the water temperature at the outlet end of the first cold water coil (310 b) of the first water circulation channel (310). The control unit (100) controls the operation of the valve unit (106) based on the water temperature measured by the sensor, and causes water discharged from the first cold water coil (310 b) to flow to the water heat recovery unit (105 b) or the cold water tank (107 b).

The fan (313) is provided to generate wind in the direction of the rack (311). The fan (313) can circulate air in the hatching part (300). The fan (313) may be located between the first water circulation channel (310) and the shelf (311). With the operation of the fan (313), heat or cool air of water circulating the first water circulation passage (310) can be effectively transferred into the hatching part (300).

The outside air introduction port (315) is a passage through which fresh outside air is introduced from the passage (320).

The interior air outlet 317 is a passage through which air in the hatching part 300 is discharged to the outside.

The passage (320) is connected to the plurality of hatching parts (300) through an external air introduction port. The passage (320) may introduce external fresh air and transmit the fresh air to each hatching part (300) through the external air introduction port (315).

The outlet opening (301) provides a passage for air within the hatchery (30) out of the chamber. A discharge fan (3010) may be provided in the discharge port (301). The exhaust fan 3010 is operated in accordance with the control of a control unit 100 for maintaining the internal temperature at an appropriate level.

The water storage unit (107) stores water and supplies the water to the hatchery (30) and the air conditioner (102). The water storage unit (107) includes a hot water tank (107 a) and a cold water tank (107 b). The hot water tank (107 a) and the cold water tank (107 b) may be provided separately from each other. The hot water tank (107 a) and the cold water tank (107 b) of the water storage unit (107) can be configured to store water of various temperatures. For example, when the temperature in the incubating unit (300) needs to be rapidly increased or decreased, the water storage unit (107) can supply hot water with the highest temperature or cold water with the lowest temperature to the incubating unit (300). The control unit (100) analyzes the temperature of water used based on the temperatures of the inside and outside of the hatchery (30) and the hatching unit (300), controls the operations of the water storage unit (107) and the pump unit (109), and supplies water at an appropriate temperature. The water stored in the water storage unit (107) flows into a first water circulation path (310) of the incubation unit (300) or a second water circulation path (1021) of the air conditioner (102) by the operation of the pump unit (109). The pump unit (109) includes a first pump unit (109 a) connected to the first water circulation path (310), and a second pump unit (109 b) connected to the second water circulation path (1021). The operation of the pump unit (109) is controlled by the control unit (100).

The cold water tank (107 b) may store water delivered by the first water circulation passage (310) and the second water circulation passage (1021). The cold water having absorbed heat from the water heat recovery unit (105 b) is sent to a cold water tank (107 b). The cold water tank (107 b), the water heat recovery unit (105 b), the first water circulation path (310), and the second water circulation path (1021) can be connected via a valve unit (106). The control unit (100) can control the operation of the valve unit (106) according to the temperature of water flowing out of the first water circulation channel (310) and the second water circulation channel (1021). For example, the control unit (100) controls the valve unit (106) so that water flows to the water heat recovery unit (105 b) when the temperature of water is equal to or lower than a predetermined level, and controls the valve unit (106) so that water directly flows to the cold water tank (107 b) when the temperature of water is equal to or lower than a predetermined level.

The heat recovery unit (105) absorbs heat of water or air and transfers the heat to the hot water tank (107 a). The heat recovery unit (105) includes an air heat recovery unit (105 a) for recovering heat from air discharged through the discharge port (301) and a water heat recovery unit (105 b) for recovering heat from circulating water. The efficiency of the air heat recovery part (105 a) and the water heat recovery part (105 b) can be 2.5 times that of a common boiler or refrigerator. For this purpose, the heat recovery section (105) may comprise a heat pump. The heat pump transfers a high-temperature heat source to a low-temperature device by utilizing heat generation or condensation heat of a refrigerant. In this embodiment, the heat pump is arranged to absorb heat of exhaust gas discharged through the discharge opening (301) of the hatchery (30) or heat of circulating water passing through the first water circulating passage (310) of the hatchery (30). The heat pump transfers the absorbed heat to a hot water tank (107 a). The circulating water absorbed by the heat flows into the cold water tank (107 b). For this purpose, the heat recovery unit (105) can be connected to the discharge port (301) and the water storage unit (107) via pipes.

An air conditioner (102) is provided to change indoor air into outside fresh air. The air conditioner (102) sucks in outside air and supplies it to the duct (320). The air conditioner may be used for air purification, cooling, dehumidifying, heating, humidifying. Air conditioners are classified into a central air conditioner, a factory-assembled air conditioner, a multi-zone air conditioner, and the like according to an air conditioning mode. The air conditioner (102) of the present invention includes a second water circulation passage (1021) inside. The second water circulation passage (1021) provides a passage through which water supplied from the water storage unit (107) flows. The second water circulation passage (1021) includes a second hot water coil (1021 a) through which hot water flows and a second cold water coil (1021 b) through which cold water flows. When the temperature of the external air supplied to the hatching part (300) is too cold or too hot, the control part (100) can control the actions of the water storage part (107) and the second pump part (109 b) so as to enable the hot water or the cold water to flow into the second water circulation channel (1021). The water passing through the second water circulation passage (1021) flows again into the water storage portion (107). At this time, although not shown, when the temperature of the water passing through the second cold water coil (1021 b) of the second water circulation passage (1021) exceeds a predetermined level, the water can be transferred to the water heat recovery unit (105 b). For this purpose, the second water circulation passage (1021) may be connected to the valve unit (106) and the water heat recovery unit (105 b).

A humidifying unit (1020) can be arranged inside the air conditioner (102). The humidifying unit (1020) stores a predetermined amount of water, and supplies the atomized or atomized water to the air entering the channel (320) under the control of the control unit (100). As another example, the water used can be delivered from the water storage unit (107). When the control unit (100) determines that the humidity in the incubation unit (300) has decreased, the control unit can control the humidification unit (1020) to operate.

The exhaust unit (104) sends the exhaust gas and the outside air discharged through the discharge port (301) to the air heat recovery unit (105 a). The exhaust section (104) includes an exhaust gas introduction section (1041), an outside air introduction section (1042), a blocking section (1043), and an exhaust passage (104).

The exhaust gas introduction section (1041) conveys the exhaust gas discharged from the discharge port (301) to the exhaust passage (104). The exhaust gas introduction section (1041) can be separated from the discharge port (301) by a predetermined distance or more. As an example, the exhaust gas introduction section (1041) is configured to be adjustable in length in a sliding manner. The exhaust gas introduction part (1041) may be additionally provided with a length adjustment part for adjusting the length of the exhaust gas introduction part (1041) up and down. The length adjusting part may include a roller that slides to make the exhaust gas introducing part (1041) have an appropriate length and a motor that operates the roller. The control unit (100) adjusts the length adjustment unit according to the temperature in the hatchery (30) so that the exhaust gas introduction unit (1041) is positioned. The control unit (100) lengthens the length of the exhaust gas introduction unit (1041) when the temperature in the hatchery (30) exceeds a predetermined temperature rise, and shortens the length of the exhaust gas introduction unit (1041) when the temperature in the hatchery (30) falls below the predetermined temperature.

The outside air introduction part (1042) introduces outside air to the exhaust passage.

The exhaust gas introduction part (1041) and the external air introduction part (1042) may be provided with blocking parts (1043) that selectively block, respectively. The blocking portion (1043) includes a damper (damper). The control unit (100) controls the operation of the blocking unit (1043) on the basis of the temperature in the hatchery (30). For example, the control unit (100) opens the exhaust gas introduction unit (1041) and closes the outside air introduction unit (1042) when the temperature in the hatchery (30) is in the first gear position. The control unit (100) opens the exhaust gas introduction unit (1041) to a half degree and opens the outside air introduction unit (1042) to a half degree when the temperature in the hatchery (30) is lower than the first gear in the second gear. The control unit (100) seals the exhaust gas introduction unit (1041) and opens the outside air introduction unit (1042) when the temperature in the hatchery (30) is in the third gear and lower than the second gear.

The control unit (100) controls the operation of a plurality of structures of the hatchery system (1) of the present invention. The control unit (100) may be a control server. The control unit (100) may include: a control program that causes these control actions to be executed; a nonvolatile memory in which a control program is installed; volatile memory in which at least a portion of the installed control program is loaded; and at least one microprocessor or central processing unit (CPU, central processing unit) running the loaded control program. The control program may include a plurality of programs implemented in at least one of a basic input output system, a device driver, an operating system, firmware, a platform, and an application program. As an embodiment, the application program may be set or stored in advance in the control unit (100) when the control unit (100) is manufactured, or data of the application program may be received from the outside when the application program is used, and the application program is installed in the control unit (100) based on the received data. The data of the application program can be downloaded to the control unit (100) from an external server such as an application market, for example.

The control part (100) of an embodiment of the invention controls the individual components of the hatchery system (1) based on various information received from external sensors. Although the control unit (100) is illustrated as one device, it is also understood that the control unit is a collection of a plurality of processors that perform the functions of the respective devices.

The control flow of the control unit (100) is shown below.

Fig. 3 is a block diagram showing the control flow of a hatchery system according to an embodiment of the invention.

A hatchery system (1) of the present invention comprises a sensor unit (101), an air conditioner (102), a blocking unit (1043), a heat recovery unit (105), a valve unit (106), a water storage unit (107), and a pump unit (109). The drawings are for the purpose of illustrating the objects controlled by the control unit (100), and therefore, although not shown, are not meant to be excluded from the hatchery system (1).

The above-described structure is not explained.

A control unit (100) controls the respective configurations based on various information transmitted from the sensor (101).

The sensor unit (101) can sense various information such as the temperature and humidity of the inside and outside of the hatchery (30), the temperature and humidity of the inside and outside of each hatching unit (300), the temperature and humidity of each rack (311) of the hatching unit (300), the temperature of water discharged through the first water circulation path (310) and/or the second water circulation path (1021), the temperature of discharged air, the temperature of air flowing through the exhaust path, and the temperature and humidity of the path (320). The sensor unit (101) is a collection of a plurality of sensors that measure these.

The control unit (100) performs an operation of maintaining the temperature and humidity of the incubation unit (300) at appropriate levels based on the information received from the sensor unit (101).

For example, the control unit (100) can control the operations of the water storage unit (107) and the first pump unit (109 a) so that the water storage unit (107) supplies hot water to the first water circulation path (310) in order to raise the temperature inside the incubation unit (300). When it is determined that the temperature of the external air supplied to the passage (320) is lower than a predetermined temperature, the control unit (100) controls the operations of the water storage unit (107) and the second pump unit (109 b) so that hot water is supplied to the second water circulation passage (1021).

When the temperature in the hatching part (300) is higher than a predetermined temperature, the control part (100) can control the exhaust part (104) to suck more exhaust gas discharged from the discharge port (301). At this time, the control unit (100) can control the blocking unit (1043) and the length adjustment unit of the exhaust gas introduction unit (1041).

The control unit (100) controls the operation of the water storage unit (107) and the first pump unit (109 a) so that the water storage unit (107) supplies cold water to the first water circulation path (310) in order to reduce the temperature in the incubation unit (300). When it is determined that the temperature of the outside air is too high, the control unit (100) can control the operation of the second pump unit (109 b) so that cold water is supplied to the second water circulation path (1021).

When the internal temperature falls below a predetermined level, the control unit (100) can control the exhaust unit (104) to suck a small amount of exhaust gas discharged from the discharge port (301). At this time, the control unit (100) can control the blocking unit (1043) and the length adjustment unit of the exhaust gas introduction unit (1041).

The cold water flows along the first cold water coil (310 b) and takes away the hot air inside the hatching part (300). The temperature of the cold water exiting the first cold water coil (310 b) is slightly increased over that of the incoming water. The control unit (100) controls the operation of the valve unit (106) so that water passing through the first cold water coil (310 b) flows to the heat recovery unit (105). The heat recovery unit (105) absorbs heat of water discharged from the first cold water coil (310 b) and heat of exhaust gas discharged from the discharge port (301).

When the control unit (100) determines that the humidity in the incubation unit (300) is low, the control unit can control the operation of the humidifying unit (1020) so that atomized or micronized water flows into the incubation unit (300) or the channel (320).

The sensor unit (101) can be provided in each hatching unit (300), each rack (311) of each hatching unit (300), or a predetermined area of each hatching unit (300). A control unit (100) generates a temperature and humidity map based on the temperature and humidity information received by the sensor unit (101), and appropriately controls the temperature and humidity for each region using the generated temperature and humidity map.

For example, the first water circulation path (310) may be provided in each rack (311) of each hatching part (300) or in a predetermined region of the hatching part (300). For this purpose, the first pump sections (109 a) may be arranged in correspondence with the number of the first water circulation passages (301). The control unit (100) refers to the temperature and humidity map, and controls the water storage unit (107) and the plurality of first pump units (109 a) so that water at a desired temperature flows into a region where temperature adjustment is desired.

The control unit (100) controls the operation of the fan (313) to execute these operations. For example, the control unit (100) may control the operation of the fan (313) so that the fan (313) sends the air to the corresponding region in order to transfer the temperature of the water flowing through the first water circulation path (310) to the desired region.

The control unit (100) can control the humidity by dividing the humidity into areas. When the humidity of a predetermined area of each hatching part (300) is insufficient, the control part (100) temporarily blocks the external air inlet (315) of each hatching part (300), and then controls the humidifying part (1020) to supply high humidity air to the channel (320). In another embodiment, the respective hatching units (300) may be provided with water supply devices for respective areas. The control unit (100) can control the respective moisture supply devices so that moisture is supplied only to areas where the humidity is insufficient. The water supply device can spray supplied water in a micronized form with a predetermined size or less, so as to effectively raise the internal humidity, and can also play a role in reducing the ambient temperature as required.

Fig. 4 is a block diagram showing a water circulation flow of a hatchery system in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

The water storage unit (107) stores water. The water storage unit (107) can be provided with a hot water tank (107 a) and a cold water tank (107 b). The hot water tank (107 a) can maintain the temperature of the stored water at 60-65 ℃. The hot water tank (107 a) can store the hot water at a temperature of 95-100 ℃, 80-90 ℃ and 60-65 ℃ according to the requirements. The cold water tank (107 b) is for keeping the temperature of the stored water at 12-15 ℃. The cold water tank (107 b) can store cold water at a temperature of 5-8deg.C, 9-10deg.C, and 12-15deg.C, as required. When the temperature of the water stored in the hot water tank (107 a) and the cold water tank (107 b) cannot be maintained by the operation of the heat recovery unit (105), the temperature of the water can be controlled by the operation of the additional connected boiler and refrigerator. The stored water may be provided in a first water circulation passage (310) of the hatching part (300) and a second water circulation passage (1021) of the air conditioner (102). A first pump section (107) for pumping water stored in a water storage section (107) and supplying the water to a first water circulation passage (310) and a second pump section (109 b) for supplying the water to a second water circulation passage (1021) are connected to the water storage section (107). The first pump unit (109 a) and the second pump unit (109 b) pump water and transport with the operation of the control unit (100).

At this time, the temperature of the hot water supplied to the first water circulation passage (310) and the second water circulation passage (1021) is 60 to 64 ℃, and the temperature of the recovered hot water is 50 to 54 ℃. The temperature of the cold water supplied to the 1 st water circulation passage (310) and the 2 nd water circulation passage (1021) is 10-14 ℃, and the temperature of the cold water recovered by the water heat recovery unit (105 b) can reach 10-14 ℃. The temperature of the cold water recovered without passing through the hydrothermal recovery unit (105 b) can reach 17-22 ℃.

The first water circulation passage (310) is provided in the hatching part (300). The 1 st water circulation channel (310) can be connected with a rack (311) in the hatching part (300) or a plurality of pipelines in each area. The first water circulation channel (310) may include a first cold water coil (310 b) through which cold water flows and a first hot water coil (310 a) through which hot water flows.

The water discharged from the first hot water coil (310 a) is again delivered to the hot water tank (107 a).

The water discharged from the first cold water coil (310 b) flows to the cold water tank (107 b) through the water heat recovery unit (105 b). The valve unit (106) can selectively form a passage for directly delivering the water to the cold water tank (107 b) when the water discharged from the 1 st cold water coil (310 b) is lower than a predetermined temperature under the control of the control unit (100). As an example, the predetermined temperature at which the valve portion (106) operates may reach 18 to 22 ℃.

To this end, the valve portion (106) of an embodiment of the present invention may be composed of a three-way valve including a switch. The control unit (100) can control the opening and closing of the valve unit (106) so that water having a predetermined temperature or higher always flows into the water heat recovery unit (105 b).

The water heat recovery unit (105 b) recovers heat of water discharged from the first cold water coil (310 b), transfers the heat to the hot water tank (107 a), and transfers the heat to the water.

The second water circulation passage (1021) is provided inside the air conditioner (102). The second water circulation passage (1021) may include a second cold water coil (1021 b) required for cold water flow and a second hot water coil (1021 a) required for hot water flow.

The water flowing through the 2 nd water circulation passage (1021) will be re-flowed to the water storage part (107). If the water discharged from the 2 nd cold water coil 1021b exceeds a predetermined temperature, the water may flow to the water heat recovery unit 105 b.

Fig. 5 is a block diagram illustrating an air circulation flow of a hatchery system according to an embodiment of the invention.

Outside air enters a passage (320) in the hatchery (30) through the air conditioner (102). The control unit (100) controls the operation of the air conditioner (102) and the second pump unit (109 b) so that the air temperature in the duct (320) is kept at about 23-27 ℃. The air introduced through the passage (320) is sent to the hatching part (300) through the outside air introduction port (315). Air introduced through the hatching part (300) is discharged to the hatching place (30) through the inside air discharge opening (317). The air inside the hatchery (30) is discharged outside through the outlet opening (30). The temperature of the discharged exhaust gas reaches about 30-36 ℃.

The exhaust gas discharged from the discharge port 301 is introduced into the exhaust gas introduction portion 1041, the outside air is introduced into the outside air introduction portion 1042, and the outside air enters the air heat recovery portion 105a through the discharge passage 104. The air heat recovery unit (105 a) recovers the heat of the exhaust gas, and then transfers the recovered heat to a hot water tank (107 a) of the water storage unit (107). According to an embodiment of the present invention, an auxiliary air heat recovery portion may be provided. The auxiliary air heat recovery unit stores heat recovery, and prevents the temperature of water stored in the hot water tank (107 a) from exceeding a predetermined temperature. The auxiliary air heat recovery unit supplies stored heat to prevent the temperature of water stored in the hot water tank (107 a) from falling below a predetermined temperature.

As another example, when the heat quantity is insufficient to raise the water temperature of the hot water tank (107 a), the hot water tank (107 a) is heated by an auxiliary boiler. When the water temperature of the hot water tank (107 a) is in an appropriate state, the remaining heat is transferred to the auxiliary hot water tank. The auxiliary hot water tank receives the remaining heat, so that the stored water always keeps hot, and when the temperature of the water stored in the water storage part (107) needs to be increased urgently, the function of providing the water can be achieved. As another example, the remaining heat may be used to turn a connected turbine to generate electricity. As a further example, when the water temperature of the hot water tank (107 a) exceeds a predetermined temperature, a part of the exhaust passage (104) is automatically opened or the exhaust gas introduction port (1041) is blocked.

The control unit (100) controls a series of operations based on sensors provided in the water storage unit (107), the auxiliary hot water tank, and the like.
