DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] To make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other implementation methods obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] Embodiment 1:

[0039] The present embodiment provides a device for transporting eggs, which is used to solve the technical problem that the device for transporting eggs in the prior art cannot transport eggs safely when the output is large. Specifically, in the prior art, the device for transporting eggs continuously transports the egg tray containing eggs from the starting end of the conveying to the end of the conveying. When the egg tray containing eggs is transported to the end of the conveying, the mechanical arm immediately operates to move the egg tray containing eggs away. When this device is used, the egg tray transported thereon will always have kinetic energy. Even when it is moved away by the mechanical arm or the suction cup device, the egg tray and the eggs thereon still have the speed V1 attached by the conveying device. When large-output conveying is performed, the conveying speed is very fast, so that the speed V1 attached by the conveying device to the egg tray and the eggs in the egg tray is also very fast. When the mechanical arm acts on the egg tray, the V1 of the egg tray and the eggs in the egg tray will be reduced to close to 0. Therefore, the deceleration acceleration of the egg tray and the eggs in the egg tray is very fast. Based on this, the eggs in the egg tray may be broken or fly out of the egg tray. Therefore, the existing device for transporting eggs has the technical problem that it cannot transport eggs safely.

[0040] The egg transport device provided in this embodiment includes a frame 1, a track 2, a vehicle body 3, an egg cup 5, a power component 7, a transmission mechanism and a first blocking mechanism. Among them:

[0041] The track 2 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1. Specifically, the track 2 is a closed-loop track. The axis of the inner ring hole of the track 2 is in the horizontal direction. The two ends of the frame 1 are the conveying start end and the conveying end end respectively. The track 2 is arranged between the conveying start end and the conveying end end. The track 2 has a horizontal section. The conveying start end and the conveying end end are located at the two ends of the horizontal section.

[0042] The car body 3 is slidably mounted on the track 2 via rollers 4, that is, the car body 3 is provided with rollers 4, and the rollers 4 are rollingly connected to the track 2, so that the car body 3 can slide relative to the track 2, and a plurality of car bodies 3 are mounted on the track 2. As an implementation of this embodiment, a plurality of car bodies 3 are arranged one by one on the track 2 along the extension direction of the track 2. For example, if there are two car bodies 3 on the track 2, the two car bodies 3 are arranged one after the other on the track 2 along the extension direction of the track 2. Of course, the number of car bodies 3 on the track 2 can be 3, 4, 5, 6, etc., that is, a plurality of car bodies 3 form a row on the track 2, so that a plurality of car bodies 3 on the track 2 move forward one by one between the conveying start and conveying end. Each vehicle body 3 is provided with an egg cup 5 which can be detachably mounted thereon. Specifically, a stud is provided at the bottom of the egg cup 5, and a threaded hole is provided on the vehicle body 3. The stud is screwed into the threaded hole, thereby achieving the purpose of mounting the egg cup 5 on the vehicle body 3. Of course, the egg cup 5 can also be connected to the vehicle body 3 by a snap-on manner. The egg cup 5 is used to hold the egg 6. After the egg 6 falls on the egg cup 5, it can move from the conveying start end to the conveying end end together with the vehicle body 3, thereby achieving the conveying of the egg 6.

[0043] The power component 7 is installed on the frame 1 for outputting power, and the transmission mechanism is installed between the power component 7 and the vehicle body 3, so as to transmit the power output by the power component 7 to the vehicle body 3 to drive the vehicle body 3 to move on the track 2, thereby making the vehicle body 3 move back and forth between the conveying start end and the conveying end end, so as to convey the eggs 6 from the conveying start end to the conveying end end, thereby completing the conveying of the eggs 6.

[0044] The first blocking mechanism is mounted on the frame 1 and is located at the conveying end, and is used to block or release the vehicle body 3 at the conveying end. The first blocking mechanism can make the vehicle body 3 stay at the conveying end, that is, the kinetic energy of the vehicle body 3 and the eggs 6 on the vehicle body 3 at the conveying end is zero.

[0045] The number of the first blocking mechanism, the transmission mechanism and the track 2 is several, and the several tracks 2, the several transmission mechanisms and the several first blocking mechanisms correspond to each other, while the number of the power component 7 is one, that is, the power output by the same power component 7 is transmitted to the vehicle body 3 on different tracks 2 through different transmission mechanisms. As an implementation of this embodiment, the power component 7 in this implementation is a motor. Of course, the power component 7 can also be a component that can output rotational power, such as a hand crank.

[0046] Through the above structure, each vehicle body 3 on the track 2 can transport one egg 6 to the conveying end at a time, and the vehicles 3 on different tracks 2 can transport multiple eggs 6 to the conveying end at the same time, and the vehicles 3 on the same track 2 transport the eggs 6 to the conveying end one by one. When the number of eggs 6 accumulated at the conveying end reaches a certain level, the robot arm can be used to move the eggs 6 to the egg tray. With the help of the first blocking mechanism, the kinetic energy of the eggs 6 at the conveying end is reduced, so that when the robot arm grabs the eggs 6, the eggs 6 are not damaged due to the kinetic energy of the eggs 6 themselves. Therefore, the device for transporting eggs provided in this embodiment can transport eggs 6 more safely.

[0047] In addition, the vehicles 3 on several tracks 2 are arranged at the conveying end. In actual use, the vehicles 3 on some tracks 2 can be selectively used to transport eggs 6 according to the specifications of the egg tray. Therefore, the egg transport device provided in this embodiment can be applicable to egg trays of different specifications, and its practicality is stronger. For example, the number of tracks 2 is 9, and the number of egg cups 5 on each track 2 is 9, so that a 9×9 egg matrix can be arranged at the conveying end, so it can be applicable to N×M egg trays, where N and M are both integers less than or equal to 9. In addition, an egg cup 5 is installed on each vehicle body 3, and each vehicle body 3 moves relatively independently, so that the transportation of each egg 6 is relatively independent, so the transportation flexibility of the eggs 6 is higher. In addition, several first blocking mechanisms are installed at the conveying end, so that the car bodies 3 on each track 2 can be arranged one by one at the conveying end. At this time, several disorderly raw eggs 6 are arranged into a regular matrix at the conveying end to facilitate the robot arm to grab. Therefore, when carrying out large-scale production, the time for manually arranging eggs 6 can be saved. However, manual and rapid arrangement of eggs 6 is likely to cause eggs 6 to break. From this perspective, since the first blocking mechanism can make many disorderly raw eggs 6 neatly arranged at the conveying end, the raw eggs 6 do not need to be manually arranged, further reducing the chance of egg 6 breaking.

[0048] As an optional implementation of the present embodiment, in the present implementation, the transmission mechanism is a chain transmission mechanism, and the chain of the chain transmission mechanism is provided with a ferromagnetic element, which is an element made of ferromagnetic material. The chain transmission mechanism includes a chain 8, a first sprocket 9, a second sprocket 10, a first rotating shaft 11 and a chain plate 13 made of ferromagnetic material, that is, the chain plate 13 is the above-mentioned ferromagnetic element. Specifically, the chain plate 13 is an iron plate. The first rotating shaft 11 is rotatably inserted on the above-mentioned frame 1 and the first rotating shaft 11 is located at the above-mentioned conveying end, and the first rotating shaft 11 is connected to the power output end of the above-mentioned power component 7. When the power component 7 is a motor, the first rotating shaft 11 is connected to the output shaft of the motor through a coupling, that is, the motor drives the first rotating shaft 11 to rotate at the conveying end, and the first sprocket 9 is installed on the first rotating shaft 11. Specifically, the first sprocket 9 is keyed to the first rotating shaft 11, and the first rotating shaft 11 can drive the first sprocket 9 The second sprocket 10 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1, and the second sprocket 10 is located at the starting end of the conveying, and the chain 8 is meshed with the first sprocket 9 and the second sprocket 10. In this way, the motor can drive the chain 8 to rotate when it is running. A chain plate 13 is welded or screwed on each connection of the chain 8. A first through slot 301 is provided at the bottom of the vehicle body 3, and the chain plate 13 is inserted in the first through slot 301. At this time, the chain plate 13 can enter and exit the first through slot 301. A magnetic component 12 is embedded on the groove wall of the first through slot 301. With the help of the magnetic attraction between the magnetic component 12 and the chain plate 13, when the chain plate 13 moves with the chain 8, the vehicle body 3 can be driven to move on the track 2. The transmission mechanism has the advantage of simple structure, and when the vehicle body 3 is blocked by the first blocking mechanism, the chain plate 13 can move in the first through slot 301. The magnetic component 12 is a magnet. Of course, if the chain 8 is an iron component, the chain can also be directly inserted into the above-mentioned first through groove 301. In this case, there is no need to install the above-mentioned chain plate 13 on the chain.

[0049] As an optional implementation of this embodiment, in this implementation, rollers 4 are provided on both sides of the vehicle body 3. It should be noted that the arrangement of the rollers 4 on the vehicle body 3 is prior art, so it will not be described in detail here. Rollers 4 are provided on both sides of the vehicle body 3, so that the vehicle body 3 can move more smoothly, and the rollers 4 on both sides of the vehicle body 3 can better support the vehicle body 3. In the present embodiment, the number of rollers 4 arranged on a single side of the vehicle body 3 is at least two, and the rollers 4 on a single side of the vehicle body 3 are defined as a first roller and a second roller, respectively. In the present embodiment, there is a gap between two adjacent rails 2, and the gap is defined as a second through groove 201. The vehicle body 3 is slidably inserted in the second through groove 201, and the first roller and the second roller are respectively located above and below the rail 2. In this way, the rail 2 is clamped between the first roller and the second roller. When the vehicle body 3 is located above the rail 2, the first roller is overlapped on the rail 2, and when the vehicle body 3 is located below the rail 2, the second roller is overlapped on the rail 2, so that the vehicle body 3 can move back and forth on the circular rail 2, and the first roller and the second roller clamp the rail 2, so that the vehicle body 3 can be better positioned and limited, so that the movement of the vehicle body 3 is smoother.

[0050] As an optional implementation of this embodiment, the device for transporting eggs in this embodiment also includes a second blocking mechanism, which is installed on the frame 1 and at the above-mentioned conveying starting end, and is used to block or release the vehicle body 3 located at the conveying starting end to ensure that the vehicle bodies 3 on the track 2 can move forward one by one in an orderly manner. Moreover, the number of the second blocking mechanisms is also several, and the several second blocking mechanisms correspond one-to-one to the several tracks 2, that is, the vehicle body 3 on each track 2 is blocked or released by a second blocking mechanism respectively.

[0051] As an implementation of this embodiment, the second blocking mechanism in this implementation includes a dial wheel 18, a second rotating shaft 19, a stopper assembly and a control assembly. The second rotating shaft 19 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1, and the dial wheel 18 is mounted on the second rotating shaft 19. Specifically, the dial wheel 18 is connected to the second rotating shaft 19 by a flat key connection, so that the dial wheel 18 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1. The stopper assembly is mounted on the frame 1 and is used to stop the dial wheel 18. Specifically, when the stopper assembly acts on the dial wheel 18, the dial wheel 18 cannot rotate, and when the stopper assembly does not act on the dial wheel 18, the dial wheel 18 can rotate. The above-mentioned control assembly is electrically connected to the stopper assembly to control the working state of the stopper assembly. The control assembly is used to control the operation of the stopper assembly to control whether the stopper assembly acts on the dial wheel 18, thereby controlling the orderly operation of the stopper assembly, and then controlling the dial wheel 18 to rotate in a predetermined manner. A shifting tooth 182 is provided on the circumferential side wall of the thumbwheel 18, and the second roller located on one side of the vehicle body 3 includes at least two wheels, and a gap 28 is provided between the two wheels, that is, the two wheels are arranged at an interval. When the second blocking mechanism blocks the vehicle body 3, the above-mentioned stop assembly acts on the thumbwheel 18, and the shifting tooth 182 on the thumbwheel 18 is inserted in the above-mentioned gap 28. By utilizing the action between the shifting tooth 182 and the side wall of the gap 28, the thumbwheel 18 and the vehicle body 3 will move synchronously.During the specific operation, after the robot arm takes away the egg 6 at the conveying end, the first blocking mechanism releases the vehicle body 3 carrying the empty egg cup 5 at the conveying end. The car body 3 will move along the track 2 to the bottom of the track 2, and return from the conveying end to the conveying start end under the track 2. The above-mentioned toggle wheel is located at the conveying start end. When the car body 3 moves to a certain position at the conveying start end, the toggle teeth 182 on the outer wall of the toggle wheel 18 will be inserted into the gap 28 on the car body 3, and the car body 3 is defined as the first car. At this time, the toggle wheel 18 is linked with the first car. Since the first car has a certain dead weight, it cannot move from bottom to top under the action of the magnetic force generated by the chain 8 and the magnetic component 12 on the first car. However, as time goes by, enough car bodies 3 will be accumulated behind the first car. The magnetic force generated by the chain plate 13 and the magnets on several car bodies 3 will be superimposed to form a sufficient driving force, which will push the first car to move from bottom to top. During the process of the first car moving from bottom to top, the first car will drive the toggle wheel 18 Rotation, it can be understood that when the stop assembly acts on the thumbwheel 18, the thumbwheel 18 cannot rotate, and when the stop assembly does not act on the thumbwheel 18, the thumbwheel 18 can rotate. Therefore, when the stop assembly acts on the thumbwheel 18 under the control of the control assembly, even if the thrust force on the first car is large enough, the first car cannot move from bottom to top, thereby realizing the blocking of the car body 3 by the second blocking mechanism, and when the first car moves to a specific position above the track 2, the tooth 182 moves out of the gap 28 on the first car with the rotation of the thumbwheel 18, that is, the tooth 182 is not inserted in the gap 28, and at this time, the first car is released. Through the above structure, the first blocking mechanism can block or release the car body 3 at the beginning of the conveying.

[0052] As an optional implementation of this embodiment, the stop assembly in this implementation includes an electromagnet 20 and an insert block 21. The electromagnet 20 is installed on the frame 1, and the insert block 21 is welded or connected to the power output end of the electromagnet 20 by screws. Specifically, the electromagnet 20 drives the insert block 21 to extend and retract, and a stop hole 181 is provided on the dial wheel 18. Optimally, the number of the stop holes 181 is several, and the several stop holes 181 form a circle. When the stop assembly stops the dial wheel 18, the insert block 21 is inserted into the stop hole 181 under the drive of the electromagnet 20, and the electromagnet 20 is electrically connected to the control assembly, that is, the control assembly is used to control the power on and off of the electromagnet 20, so that the insert block 21 can be moved in and out of the stop hole 181, and the dial wheel 18 is stopped in this way. The structure is simple and easy to implement. As an implementation mode of this embodiment, the diameter of the stop hole 181 in this implementation mode is larger than the outer diameter of the insert block 21 , so that the insert block 21 can be inserted into the stop hole 181 when the thumbwheel 18 rotates.

[0053] As an optional implementation of this embodiment, the control component in this implementation includes a sensor 22 and a controller 23. The sensor 22 is installed on the egg cup 5 to sense whether there is an egg 6 in the egg cup 5. The sensor 22 can be a weight sensor 22. When there is an egg 6 in the egg cup 5, the weight is heavier, and when there is no egg 6 in the egg cup 5, the weight is lighter. The weight sensor 22 can sense the weight information of the egg cup 5 so as to sense whether there is an egg 6 in the egg cup 5. The sensor 22 is electrically connected to the controller 23, and the controller 23 is a PLC, and the controller 23 is electrically connected to the electromagnet 20. Through this structure, when the sensor 22 senses that there is an egg 6 in the egg cup 5, it sends a signal to the controller 23, and the controller 23 drives the electromagnet 20 to drive the plug 21 to retract, thereby releasing the vehicle body 3, and the vehicle body 3 moves forward. With the help of the delay function of the PLC, when the vehicle body 3 moves forward for a distance, the controller 23 controls the electromagnet 20 to drive the plug 21 to extend into another stop hole 181 on the dial wheel 18, thereby stopping again, that is, realizing the function of stepping the vehicle body 3 that is not loaded with eggs 6 at the starting end of the conveying. It should be noted that the rotation of the thumbwheel 18 in this embodiment is relatively independent from the rotation of the chain 8, that is, the chain 8 is always rotating, while the thumbwheel 18 is rotating in steps. The stepping rotation of the thumbwheel 18 can achieve the effect of stepping driving the empty egg cup 5 at the beginning of the conveying. After an egg 6 is loaded into an egg cup 5, the thumbwheel 18 rotates until the corresponding vehicle body 3 is disengaged from the tooth 182, and the vehicle body 3 corresponding to the egg cup 5 loaded with the egg 6 can move toward the conveying end on the track 2. In this way, only when there is an egg 6 in the egg cup 5 can it be disengaged from the tooth 182 and move forward, so as to prevent the empty egg cup 5 from moving to the conveying end. In addition, no other driving mechanism is provided in the structure, but the vehicle body 3 located below the track 2 is driven to move above the track 2 by the total magnetic force generated by the magnetic components between the chain plate 13 and the plurality of vehicle bodies 3, so that fewer parts are used, the cost is lower, and it is more energy-saving.

[0054] As a better implementation of this embodiment, in this implementation, the above-mentioned second sprocket 10 is rotatably mounted on the second rotating shaft 19 through the bearing 14, so as to achieve the purpose of rotatably installing the second sprocket 10 on the frame 1, so that the second rotating shaft 19 not only plays the role of supporting the thumbwheel 18, but also plays the role of supporting the second sprocket 10, further simplifying the structure and reducing costs.

[0055] As a more preferred implementation of this embodiment, in this implementation, a waist-shaped hole 101 is provided on the frame 1, and the second shaft 19 is rotatably inserted in the waist-shaped hole 101, so as to achieve the purpose of rotatably installing the second shaft 19 on the frame 1, so that the second shaft 19 can move in the waist-shaped hole 101, so as to adjust the tightness of the chain 8. A guide rail 24 is laid on the frame 1 along the length direction of the waist-shaped hole 101, and a slider 25 is installed on the guide rail 24. The second shaft 19 is inserted on the slider 25, so that the second shaft 19 can move along the length direction of the waist-shaped hole 101. A screw 26 with a length direction in the same direction as the waist-shaped hole 101 is rotatably connected to the slider 25. A base plate 27 is also welded on the frame 1, and a screw hole is provided on the base plate 27, and the screw 26 is screwed in the screw hole. In this way, rotating the screw rod 26 can drive the slider 25 to move on the guide rail 24 , that is, rotating the screw rod 26 can adjust the position of the second rotating shaft 19 in the waist-shaped hole 101 , thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the tightness of the chain 8 .

[0056] As an optional implementation of this embodiment, in this embodiment, the blocking mechanism includes a cylinder 15 and a block 16 adapted to the gap 28 on the vehicle body 3, and a mounting seat 17 is arranged inside the frame 1. It should be noted that the frame 1 in this embodiment includes two frames arranged opposite to each other, and a plurality of rails 2, a plurality of transmission mechanisms, a plurality of second blocking mechanisms and a plurality of first blocking mechanisms are all installed between the two frames, and the mounting seat 17 connects the two frames, so that the frame 1 composed of the two frames is more stable. The cylinder 15 is installed on the mounting seat 17, and the telescopic rod of the cylinder 15 faces upward, and the plug 21 is installed on the telescopic rod of the cylinder 15. When the first blocking mechanism blocks the vehicle body 3, the cylinder 15 drives the plug 21 to rise and insert into the gap 28 on the vehicle body 3, so as to achieve the purpose of blocking the vehicle body 3. When the cylinder 15 retracts and the plug 21 is separated from the gap 28 on the vehicle body 3, the vehicle body 3 can be released. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the vehicle body 3 on each track 2 is blocked by a first blocking mechanism. And there are two cylinders 15 and plugs 21 in each first blocking mechanism, one cylinder 15 drives one plug 21 to enter and exit the gap 28 on one side of the vehicle body 3, and the other cylinder 15 drives the other plug 21 to enter and exit the gap 28 on the other side of the vehicle body 3, so as to achieve a stable blocking of the vehicle body 3 at the end of the conveying. Of course, the cylinder 15 in this embodiment can also be replaced by a hydraulic cylinder.
