In the present embodiment, all conveyers and Che Shi parts itself are all driven by a cover hydraulic system fluid power, the power of this system is from oil pump, oil pump is the internal combustion engine drive (2600CC of fuel by one with hydraulic petroleum gas, 4 cylinder IC engines, every power approximately is 33KW, 3600rpm), during 2200rpm, every noise is approximately 85dba.Whole power part is schematically represented as (15) in Fig. 1.

During use, parts (1) drive a hen house into and advance to the chicken group, and starting simultaneously captures and conveyer.By means of arm (2,4), blade part rises on chicken group's the height, and stretches and to surmount a group chicken, then fall blade part capture be in blade part and conveyer (8) guiding along the chicken group in the interval between (7).Along with parts (1) advance, blade part slowly rotates and towards parts (1) withdrawal, relies on push pedal element (6) to contact with the chicken group, and reduces the space that holds the chicken group, and the chicken group is just impelled to go up on the conveyer (8).In case go up on the conveyer (8), chicken just transmits by an adjustment conveyer, it concentrates in together the speed of chicken with a control, to go up weighed amount in scale conveyors (10).At when filling with substance, the transmission surface of weighing does not rotate, but along with chicken goes up on it, conveyer itself moves out below feeding conveyer (8,9).When the sensor that is connected to scale conveyors (10) detects at this place one and gives fixed chicken group weight, borrow in rotation and advance the transmission surface, chicken is transported on one group of of stacking in the conveyer (11), conveyer (10) is recalled from stacking transmission plane (11) top self simultaneously, makes under the chicken to transmit on the surface to stacking.When scale conveyors is returned, when loading chicken again, adorned carry stack conveyer just move on to folded in a different position, the conveyer that stacks of a sky is placed into the reception load position.In case all conveyers that stacks are all loaded onto material in folded, parts (1) are equipped with platform (14), in order to receive cage (12), perhaps as a kind of variation, parts (1) drive cage (12) position in front into, cage (12) has load-bearing surface (13), quantitatively equates with folded middle conveyer (11).Then should be located in the said cage by folded conveyer (11), each conveyer is located on the load-bearing surface in the cage (12).By means of the rotation that transmits the surface, conveyer (11) is recalled from cage (12) simultaneously, and conveyer (11) is just unloaded, removes below the chicken group along with transmitting the surface, and they are just down to the load-bearing surface (13) of cage (12).This system provides the poultry of best Weight Loaded and uniformity to distribute on load-bearing surface (13).

Utilize the equipment of fork truck or crane and so on, can rise on the transport vehicle having adorned the cage (12) that carries.Like this, a Machine Operator and a truck driver just can be handled by per minute, such as the load that every layer of case or cage load-bearing surface are 70 kilograms adopts 4 layers of container, every layer of size is approximately 1200mm * 1400mm, every chicken nearly weighs 4.3 pounds (2 kilograms), and two people per hour can handle about 8500 chickens, and what will depend on used trapping system actually, weight of chicken and fork truck logistic support.By contrast, as using habitual hand capture method, two workmans per hour can capture 600 to 1000 chickens.Also do not have the handle worker to handle the damage danger that brings with this device.

The degradation or the attenuating of the product quality that causes by maloperation, the loss of bringing annual 3000 ten thousand pounds for usually the poultry industry of Britain, this quality reduces can be reduced to zero in fact, because adopt the present invention, chicken was not contacted by hand before reaching processing plant.

Draw attention to, although only describe and illustrated a kind of embodiment, this only is one of many possible change programmes. For example, when scale conveyors (10) occurs below feeding conveyer (8,9), it must be loaded onto material, but near one section reasonable time in place feeding transmission plane (8,9) is terminal is instead feeded by means of swivel feeding transmission surface. Then it can stack on the transmission plane (11) and make conveyer (10) more in place by being located in, and rotation transmits the surface and unstows as described above simultaneously. Similarly, although in illustrated enforcement In the scheme, stacks conveyer and load onto material and move upward, but the structure that changes is feasible that the face that wherein stacks is the position that starts from a rise, just drops on the vehicle body of car formula parts (1) after charging.

Possible by means of the capacity that provides additional blading to increase interval (*), on the attachment device with the rotatable part similar to (5), on its outrigger with push pedal element (6), to sweep the right and left of the rotatable part of collection (5). Can be brush arrangement or conveyer as changing these, rotation or become a suitable angle with it the same plane of part (5) in, or even cross with respect to this device in the vertical plane on the surface of moving on it and rotate.

The work of this device can advantageously monitor and control by means of electronic circuit.

The application process of this device will further be explained as follows:

Method of the present invention has following steps:

1. capture operation

Capture operation and be by means of catching and concentrated live poultry is finished, it comprises that a capture rolls first conveyer with an inclination, and this first conveyer consists of conveyer.

Capture is rolled by a blade wheel and is formed, and its width equals the width of conveyer and approximates greatly the width of full car. This takes turns the soft rubber tree leaf that is equipped with slow circumvolve. This capture is rolled from this device and is travelled forward. And be the top of poultry on the ground, then fall into wherein, reach the position that a blade just contacts with ground. This capture is rolled and can be installed to this by slow floor mop, perhaps select as a kind of change and keep static (relative motion), and device advances. This is the characteristics of a particular importance, because this can be avoided startling not yet and to capture but near the poultry of device. Any relative motion between capture is rolled and installed all impels poultry upper to the inclination conveyer, is provided with the short tight plate of rubber on it and comes to provide cross bar for poultry. The inclination transmission plane moves with a linear speed, is substantially equal to the pace of device, it to poultry provide one mild, the continual route that enters car from pouity dwelling place ground.

Capturing operation can carry out together with two elongated rotatable parts, and this two Element Design becomes mutual reverse drive, and its axis is oppositely arranged, and consists of a passage between this two part, and poultry is at it Neutralization is by wherein being captured, and the poultry that is captured is raised or moves along this passage. Select as a kind of variation, capturing operation can carry out together with two elongated rotatable parts, and this two Element Design becomes mutual reverse drive, and its axis is arranged in parallel, and when using, this part can be parallel to ground substantially, or perpendicular to ground, or and ground inclination.

2. weighing operation

The poultry of sending here from first conveyer that tilts arrives one and receives poultry and poultry is distributed into the device that stacks parts, this device comprises that second this conveyer of conveyer can rotate and be used as a holder, is fed to poultry on the scale conveyors.

At when filling with substance, scale conveyors is not rotated, but along with poultry crosses on it, it just laterally shifts out from the bottom of a upper conveyer. By means of the weight that weighs up continuously on the scale conveyors, and by means of with a relevant speed or the repeatedly movement of correlation distance, the transverse movement transmission plane of weighing just can be placed on the poultry of known weight on the scale conveyors, and its density average homogeneity.

3. stack operation

Be equipped with the parts that stack of (as required more or less) horizontal conveyor that possesses 4 layers on the car formula parts, conveyer can rotate and can be as a unit transverse motion.

This " cover " conveyer mutually stacks and is arranged in car on the lower, and they can do in check moving both vertically. For the conveyer of " stacking ", when scale conveyors is crossed on it poultry from second conveyer, be that the conveyer top at top from folded is removed. After scale conveyors was filled, it just reached the top and stacks on the conveyer. By means of the rotation scale conveyors, simultaneously it to be recalled with a speed consistent with the conveyer belt superficial velocity, poultry is just transferred to stacking on the conveyer on the top from scale conveyors.

This moment, this conveyer moved upward, and exposed second and stacked the conveyer top surface, and this face is then feeded from scale conveyors. The recalling of scale conveyors make vertical folded in first and second conveyers all can do and move both vertically, expose the 3rd top surface that stacks conveyer, etc.

In this way, just consisted of and have 4 layers or more multi-layered horizontal conveyor and " fold ", they are spaced from each other layout in vertical direction, and every one deck has all loaded the family of known density and known weight Fowl.

Should be noted that this moment this stack conveyer also rotation do not finish the function of a conveyer yet, they can be replaced by flat board or supporting plate equivalently.

4. cartonning operation

The afterbody of this device is equipped with a platform, supporting a container or multilayer cage parts, and is equipped with the position location, when container is put on this platform from a fork truck, can be in one with respect to stacking the fixing position of conveyer in the car.

5. conveying operations

After container is positioned its cartonning platform and chamber door and opens, stack in vertical direction spaced-apart certain distance layout of conveyer, this distance is consistent with each layer of container or cage parts, stack conveyer and do as a whole transverse movement, cause the horizontal conveyor of carrying poultry to enter container, every one deck conveyer is located in the case on its corresponding boxboard.

Stack conveyer by means of rotation, and with a speed consistent with the superficial velocity of conveyer belt it is laterally recalled simultaneously, poultry is just transferred on the boxboard from stacking conveyer, guarantees that simultaneously poultry is in the distribution of this place's uniformity.

Under the situation of using fixed flat planar, chamber door (pushing up hanging) is at first closed, and flat board is recalled then.

Should understand, although the present invention has best purposes in aviculture, it can be used for concentrating non-life article equally.
