DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0046] In order to further understand the features, technical means, specific objectives and functions achieved by the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0047] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a fully automated integrated device for collecting, detecting and grading eggs includes a collecting device, which can collect eggs in a chicken house. The device also includes a detection device 2 for detecting cracks in eggs and a grading device 3 for grading eggs. A transport device 11 for transporting eggs is provided between the detection device 2 and the collecting device. The detection device 2 includes two mirror-image-arranged conveying rods 21, which can clamp the eggs. Industrial cameras 22 are provided above both sides of the two conveying rods 21. The conveying rods 21 are arranged at an angle, and the higher end of the conveying rod 21 abuts against the transport device 11, and the lower end of the conveying rod 21 abuts against the grading device 3.
[0048] In specific working conditions, eggs need to be screened after being taken out of the chicken cages to remove cracked and defective eggs and grade eggs of different weights. Generally, the device can only perform one function, and the transportation between devices is done manually. It cannot perform multiple functions at one time.
[0049] The transport device 11 is provided at the output end of the collection device. The transport device 11 includes a first conveyor belt 111 and an egg roller 112. The first conveyor belt 111 transports the eggs from the collection device. A baffle is provided on the side of the first conveyor belt 111 to prevent the eggs from falling. The output end of the first conveyor belt 111 abuts against the egg roller 112. The egg roller 112 is composed of several cylinders with concave sides. When an egg falls into it, it will be restricted by the concave between the two cylinders, so that the long side of the egg is perpendicular to the direction of movement. The transport rod 21 abuts against the output end of the egg roller 112. In this way, when the eggs are transported between the conveying rods 21, they can be simply and stably clamped on the conveying rods 21. The eggs move on the conveying rods 21 along the inclined direction of the conveying rods 21. When they move between the industrial cameras 22, the industrial cameras 22 take pictures of the eggs for inspection. The rolling eggs ensure more accurate inspection. After the eggs are inspected, they come to the grading device 3 that is in contact with the conveying rods 21. The grading device 3 weighs the inspected eggs and discharges them according to their weight. Eggs with cracks can also be discharged separately here, ensuring the quality of the graded eggs.
[0050] By setting up the detection device 2 and the grading device 3, the detection device 2 and the collection device are connected by the transportation device 11. The detection device 2 includes a conveying rod 21 abutting the grading device 3. Therefore, after the eggs come out of the chicken house, they can pass through the collection device, the transportation device 11, the conveying rod 21 on the detection device 2 and the grading device 3 respectively, forming an integrated egg collection, detection and grading process, reducing the transportation process, reducing losses and improving work efficiency.
[0051] See also Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the detection device 2 further includes a vibration device 23, and the vibration device 23 includes a first drive motor 231, an eccentric wheel 232, a vibration plate 233 and a connecting plate 234;
[0052] The first driving motor 231 is disposed on one side of the transmission rod 21 , and the output end of the first driving motor 231 faces the transmission rod 21 ;
[0053] The eccentric wheel 232 is arranged at the output end of the first driving motor 231;
[0054] The vibration plates 233 have two mirror images and are arranged at opposite ends of the two transmission rods 21. The outer side of the eccentric wheel 232 abuts against the bottom end of the vibration plate 233.
[0055] The connecting plate 234 is disposed on the upper end of the vibration plate 233 and connects the two vibration plates 233 .
[0056] When the eggs move on the conveying rod 21, the conveying rod 21 has a certain inclination, but the inclination is small to prevent the eggs from moving too fast on the conveying rod 21 and colliding. Therefore, the eggs move relatively slowly on the conveying rod 21 and may stop on the conveying rod 21, reducing the detection efficiency.
[0057] By setting up the vibration device 23, when the eggs move on the conveying rod 21, the first drive motor 231 starts to rotate. The rotation of the first drive motor 231 drives the eccentric wheel 232 to rotate. The eccentric wheel 232 abuts against the vibration plate 233, thereby driving the vibration plate 233 to vibrate up and down. The vibration plate 233 is connected to the conveying rod 21, so that the conveying rod 21 also starts to vibrate up and down, ensuring that the eggs will not stop being conveyed when on the conveying rod 21. The connecting plate 234 connects the two vibration plates 233, thereby ensuring that the two conveying rods 21 can vibrate up and down through one first drive motor 231.
[0058] By setting up a first drive motor 231 and an eccentric wheel 232, the rotation of the first drive motor 231 drives the eccentric wheel 232 to rotate, and the rotation of the eccentric wheel 232 drives the conveying rod 21 to vibrate up and down through the vibration plate 233, ensuring that the eggs will not stop on the conveying rod 21.
[0059] See also Figure 7 As shown, a plurality of buffer rods 24 are provided at the lower end of the transmission rod 21, and a support rod 25 is provided at the lower end of the buffer rod 24. The buffer rod 24 is arranged at the upper end of the support rod 25 so as to be movable up and down. A buffer spring 241 is provided on the outer side of the buffer rod 24, and the two ends of the buffer spring 241 respectively abut against the upper end of the support rod 25 and the lower end of the transmission rod 21.
[0060] When the first drive motor 231 starts to rotate, the transmission rod 21 starts to vibrate up and down under the action of the first drive motor 231 and the eccentric wheel 232. When the transmission rod 21 starts to vibrate up and down, the transmission rod 21 drives the buffer rod 24 to move up and down at the upper end of the support rod 25. When the buffer rod 24 moves, the buffer spring 241 abuts and buffers the transmission rod 21, preventing the transmission rod 21 from vibrating more violently under the action of the vibration device 23, thereby protecting the eggs.
[0061] See also Figure 5 As shown, a buffer pad 211 is provided at the upper end of the transmission rod 21 , and the material of the buffer pad 211 is an elastic material.
[0062] By providing the buffer pad 211, when the egg falls from the transport device 11, the buffer pad 211 first collides with the egg. The buffer pad 211 is made of elastic material, which ensures that the egg will not be broken. When the egg moves on the buffer belt, even if the buffer pad 211 is made of elastic material and the movement of the egg is hindered, the egg can still be effectively displaced under the action of the vibration device 23, and the egg is less likely to be broken due to vibration under the action of the buffer pad 211.
[0063] See also Figure 4 As shown, a buffer cloth 26 is provided at the lower end of the conveying rod 21, and the buffer cloth 26 can receive the eggs falling from between the conveying rods 21. The buffer cloth 26 is provided at the front half of the conveying rod 21 close to the transportation device 11. A water tank 27 is provided at the end of the buffer cloth 26 away from the conveying rod 21, and the water tank 27 can receive the eggs on the buffer cloth 26.
[0064] After the eggs are taken out of the chicken house, due to various reasons, the size of the eggs sometimes varies greatly. The number of such eggs is very small, and in addition to the intact eggs, some eggs will be severely damaged. In this way, the small eggs and the larger damaged eggs will fall directly between the conveying rods 21. The eggs falling from the conveying rods 21 will be directly received by the buffer cloth 26. Under the action of the buffer cloth 26, the eggs are transported to the water tank 27. The water tank 27 is provided with salt water of a certain concentration. The intact eggs will fall directly to the bottom of the water, but the broken eggs will float directly on the water surface. Therefore, after the device has been running for a period of time, the broken eggs will be directly fished out, and the intact small eggs will be fished out after drainage. There are fewer such eggs and they can be handled manually.
[0065] See also Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, a dividing device 28 is provided above one end of the conveying rod 21 close to the grading device 3, and the dividing device 28 includes several push plates 284 evenly arranged in a ring, and one end of all the push plates 284 is set at the same axis. The material of the push plates 284 is elastic material, and the push plates 284 can rotate periodically. The push plates 284 set the moving rod along the movement direction of the eggs as the waiting unloading area 281, the first unloading area 282 and the second unloading area 283.
[0066] The industrial camera 22 is arranged at the rear half of the conveying rod 21. When the eggs arrive at the industrial camera 22, the eggs that are too small and the eggs with larger damage have already fallen. At this time, the remaining eggs begin to be inspected. Through the comprehensive inspection of the eggs by the industrial camera 22, the eggs arrive at the dividing device 28. At this time, since there are several push plates 284 and the push plates 284 can rotate, the eggs first arrive at the waiting area 281. At this time, one push plate 284 holds the eggs to prevent them from continuing to fall. The push plates 284 then start to rotate. The two push plates 284 clamp the first egg in the waiting area 281 and bring it to the first unloading area 282. After a period of time, the push plates 284 continue to rotate, and the eggs in the first unloading area 282 come to the second unloading area 283, and the eggs in the waiting area 281 come to the first unloading area 282. Through the rotation of the push plates 284, the eggs are placed in the waiting area 281, the first unloading area 282 and the second unloading area 283 in sequence.
[0067] See also Figure 4 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a first unloading device 29 is provided at the lower end of the first unloading area 282, and the first unloading device 29 includes a cylinder 291, a push plate 292, a limit plate 293, a limit rod 294 and an unloading conveyor belt 295;
[0068] The cylinder 291 is vertically arranged at the lower end of the first unloading area 282, with the output end facing the first unloading area 282;
[0069] The push plate 292 is disposed at the output end of the cylinder 291 and is tilted to push the eggs in the first unloading area 282 out of the conveying rod 21.
[0070] The limiting plate 293 is provided at the lower end of the pushing plate 292;
[0071] The limiting rod 294 is provided through the limiting plate 293, and the limiting plate 293 can move up and down on the limiting rod 294;
[0072] A feeding conveyor belt 295 is provided on one side of the conveying rod 21 , and the feeding conveyor belt 295 can receive the eggs pushed out by the pushing plate 292 .
[0073] When the eggs arrive at the first unloading area 282, the industrial camera 22 detects cracks or defects on the eggs, so the eggs need to be removed.
[0074] At this time, the cylinder 291 starts to start, and the cylinder 291 drives the push plate 292 to move toward the first unloading area 282. The push plate 292 begins to contact the eggs in the first unloading area 282. Since the push plate 292 is inclined, when the push plate 292 rises to a certain degree, the eggs slide along the inclined surface of the push plate 292 and slide onto the unloading conveyor 295. Baffles are provided on both sides of the push plate 292 along the sliding direction to prevent the eggs from sliding from the side. The eggs fall stably onto the unloading conveyor 295, and the unloading conveyor 295 transports and collects cracked eggs and broken eggs.
[0075] The cooperation between the limiting rod 294 and the limiting plate 293 ensures that the pushing plate 292 can move along a straight line without rotating, thereby ensuring the pushing efficiency.
[0076] See also Figure 6 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the grading device 3 includes a rotating disk 31, an egg collecting trough 33, a vertical plate 311, a dial plate 313 and a second feeding device 32;
[0077] The rotating disk 31 is provided at the lower end of the transmission rod 21, and the rotating disk 31 is capable of rotating;
[0078] The egg collecting trough 33 is evenly arranged in an annular shape at the upper end of the rotating disk 31 near the outer side, and the egg collecting trough 33 can receive the eggs dropped by the conveying rod 21;
[0079] The vertical plate 311 is annularly arranged at the outermost side of the upper end of the rotating disk 31 , and a plurality of notches 312 are provided on the vertical plate 311 , and the notches 312 are arranged above the egg collecting trough 33 ;
[0080] The dial plate 313 is disposed on the vertical plate 311 between the two notches 312 , and the dial plate 313 can drive the push plate 284 to rotate;
[0081] The second unloading device 32 is disposed above an end of the rotating disk 31 away from the conveying rod 21 .
[0082] In the specific working state, when the eggs are in the second unloading area 283 on the conveying rod 21, the rotating disk 31 is rotating, and the eggs are against the vertical plate 311. When the notch 312 on the vertical plate 311 moves to the eggs, the eggs fall from the notch 312 and enter the egg collecting trough 33. A weighing unit 331 is provided in the egg collecting trough 33 to weigh and grade the eggs. The eggs continue to rotate with the egg collecting trough 33. When the eggs rotate to the second unloading device 32, the second unloading device 32 includes several vacuum suction cups 321. Each vacuum suction cup 321 sucks eggs of a certain weight. The vacuum suction cup 321 sucks the eggs and collects them, thereby completing the grading of the eggs.
[0083] The dial plate 313 between the notches 312 can push the push plate 284 to rotate. When the rotating disk 31 rotates, the dial plate 313 starts to rotate with the rotating disk 31. After the eggs fall into the egg collecting trough 33, the rotating disk 31 continues to rotate, and the dial plate 313 at the rear contacts a push plate 284, pushing the push plate 284 to run. When the push plate 284 runs to move the eggs in the first unloading area 282 to the second unloading area 283, the dial plate 313 and the push plate 284 are separated, and the rotating disk 31 continues to rotate. The egg falls from the next notch 312, and the cycle continues. The push plate 284 and the rotating disk 31 remain synchronized.
[0084] See also Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, a buffer plate 332 is provided at the upper end of the egg collecting trough 33, and the buffer plate 332 can guide the eggs into the egg collecting trough 33. A receiving plate 333 and a receiving spring 334 are provided in the egg collecting trough 33, and the receiving spring 334 is provided at the lower end of the receiving plate 333.
[0085] When the egg starts to fall from the gap 312, the egg first falls on the buffer plate 332, and then falls more slowly along the buffer plate 332 into the egg collecting trough 33. When the egg falls into the egg collecting trough 33, the egg and the receiving plate 333 first come into contact. The bottom end of the receiving plate 333 is provided with a receiving spring 334, which acts as a buffer for the egg and protects the egg from being damaged.
[0086] See also Figure 11 As shown, a rotating rod 34 is provided at the lower end of the rotating disk 31, a first gear 341 is provided on the rotating rod 34, a second driving motor 35 is provided on one side of the rotating rod 34, and a semicircular gear 351 is provided at the output end of the second driving motor 35, and the first gear 341 and the semicircular gear 351 are meshed.
[0087] When the rotating disk 31 starts to rotate, only part of the outer side of the semicircular gear 351 has teeth. When the second drive motor 35 drives the semicircular gear 351 to rotate, the semicircular gear 351 rotates one circle, the rotating disk 31 rotates a certain angle and stops rotating for a period of time. When the rotating disk 31 stops, the egg at the gap 312 starts to fall. The stopped rotating disk 31 ensures that the egg can fall steadily. After the egg finishes falling, the semicircular gear 351 rotates a second circle to expose the subsequent gap 312, and the next egg is collected.
[0088] By setting the first gear 341 and the semicircular gear 351, the second drive motor 35 rotates to drive the semicircular gear 351 to rotate, and the semicircular gear 351 can drive the rotating disk 31 to start rotating at intervals, ensuring that the rotating disk 31 will not rotate when the egg falls, so that the vertical plate 311 on the rotating disk 31 will not collide with the egg, thereby protecting the egg.
[0089] The above embodiments merely represent one or several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
