Automatic egg boxing mechanical arm as well as boxing method and control method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a novel automatic egg boxing mechanical arm as well as a boxing method and a control method thereof. The boxing mechanical arm consists of a mechanical arm system and a control system, and is arranged on the tail end of the existing egg classification production line by a bracket; a horizontal cylinder of the mechanical arm and a guide rail slider are synergized to realize horizontal motion of the mechanical arm; a cylinder and a guide rail slider which are arranged vertically in the vertical direction drive the lower arm of the mechanical arm to do vertical motion; an egg suction cup and an egg support suction cup are arranged on a lower arm bracket, and are matched with open and close of an electromagnetic valve to realize grasp and release actions to the eggs and the egg support; eggs and cartons are conveyed by a stepping motor and a conveying belt; and the mechanical arm and the conveying belt are controlled by a (programmable logic controller (PLC) control module.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automatic boxing machinery for automatic poultry and egg production lines. Specifically, it is a boxing manipulator composed of a linear motion mechanism driven by a cylinder and a grabbing device composed of a suction cup, which can cooperate with the existing poultry egg production line to complete automatic packaging. box work. Background technique [0002] At present, more advanced poultry and egg production plants generally have a complete set of automatic poultry egg packaging equipment. After the poultry eggs are output, they fall into the conveyor belt and are sent to the egg inspection machine. The poultry egg processing machine can be automatically coated, dried, etc., and finally enters the egg sorter for automatic counting, grading and packaging, laying the foundation for providing high-quality raw materials for fresh shell egg sales and egg processing. The United States, Australia, Japan, th...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The United States, Australia, Japan, the Netherlands and other countries have a high level of automation technology for fresh egg processing, but the last process of egg packaging - poultry eggs and egg tray packing has not been well resolved. The current poultry egg automatic production line equipment market share For example, MOBA products with a production rate of more than 90%, even in the latest Omnia 330 production line, the packing process is still carried out manually, which limits the further improvement of its production efficiency

At present, the research on the automatic packing mechanism of poultry eggs is still in its infancy, and the publication number is CN1485616. The Chinese patent non-destructive automatic detection and grading equipment and method of poultry egg quality relates to a non-destructive automatic detection equipment and method of poultry egg quality developed by applying computer image acquisition technology. A non-destructive automatic detection equipment for poultry egg quality consisting of an egg conveyor belt, a rack and an egg collection platform, with a detection device for identifying damaged eggs controlled by a computer program and a grading mechanism assembly for removing damaged eggs The operation system formed can realize the grading and packaging functions of poultry eggs, but its efficiency is low. The single production line of its equipment can process 1-2 poultry eggs per second, and the egg tray cannot be included in the packaging process; the publication number is CN101337585 The Chinese patent for a bottle cap automatic packing device relates to a bottle cap automatic packing device, which belongs to the structural technical field of bottle cap automatic packing devices, including a bottle cap placement device, a bottle cap adsorption device and a bottle cap packing device. Part, the bottle cap adsorption device is linked to the upper beam of the bracket, and is located above the bottle cap placement device and the bottle cap boxing device. The bottle cap placement device and the bottle cap boxing device are parallel to each other. The upper beam moves in a straight line, but if this equipment is used for packing poultry eggs, it can only absorb poultry eggs but not egg trays, and poultry eggs are fragile, so this equipment is not practical in the field of poultry egg packing
