Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of egg conveying, and in particular to an online dynamic monitoring device and method for an egg chain. Background Art

[0002] Egg chains are commonly used in the laying hen farming industry to transport eggs. Due to terrain restrictions on farms, egg chains usually range from tens to hundreds of meters. There is currently no effective online dynamic monitoring system for long-distance egg chains, and serious chain derailment will not be discovered until it occurs, which will cause huge economic losses to farmers.

[0003] At present, the egg chain monitoring device on the market adopts the traditional mechanical induction device and wiring technology, and can only realize the static monitoring of the egg chain by using electrical parts such as time relays. Its main disadvantages are as follows:

[0004] 1. Each sensing device needs to be wired to the control box, which results in high construction and cable costs;

[0005] Second, each proximity switch needs to sense about 90,000 times a day (8 hours), and the intermediate relay needs to transfer the proximity switch signal. Relatively speaking, the intermediate relay has a short life and false alarms occur frequently. Summary of the invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an egg chain online dynamic monitoring device and method thereof. The device adopts AS-i bus technology to integrate the power supply and signal lines connected to the proximity switch into one cable for transmission, reducing the laying of a large number of cables, and is more beautiful when used; secondly, after adopting AS-i bus technology, the signal of each proximity switch can be directly transmitted to the control box, skipping the intermediate relay and directly transmitting the signal to the control box, reducing the possibility of false alarm.

[0007] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention is achieved as follows:

[0008] An egg chain online dynamic monitoring device comprises an egg chain conveyor line, on which a circularly conveying egg chain conveyor belt is installed;

[0009] A plurality of brackets are evenly distributed and fixed on the inner wall of the egg chain conveyor line between the upper conveyor chain and the lower conveyor chain of the egg chain conveyor belt, and a plurality of proximity switches are installed on the brackets, wherein the sensing parts of the proximity switches face upwards;

[0010] Each proximity switch is integrated into an AS-i bus cable through a single cable. The AS-i bus cable is laid along the length of the egg chain conveyor line, and finally the AS-i bus cable is electrically connected to the control box.

[0011] By adopting the above scheme, the device adopts AS-i bus technology, which integrates the power supply and signal lines connected to the proximity switch into one cable for transmission, reducing the laying of a large number of cables, and is more beautiful when used; secondly, after adopting AS-i bus technology, the signal of each proximity switch can be directly transmitted to the control box, skipping the intermediate relay and directly transmitting the signal to the control box, reducing the possibility of false alarm.

[0012] As a preferred implementation of an egg chain online dynamic monitoring device, a single cable includes a power line and a signal line.

[0013] With the above solution, in order to facilitate power supply and signal transmission, the power line and the signal line are integrated into a single cable, and then the single cable is integrated into the AS-i main cable, which simplifies the construction and wiring and reduces the cost.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of an egg chain online dynamic monitoring device, the AS-i bus cable is hidden in a protective wire tube, and the protective wire tube is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the egg chain conveyor line by a tube clamp.

[0015] The above solution is adopted to enhance the protection of the AS-i bus cable by hiding it in a protective wire tube, thereby extending its service life.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of an egg chain online dynamic monitoring device, all proximity switches are slidably installed on a slide rail arranged along the length direction of the egg chain conveyor line, and the slide rail is fixedly installed above the bracket; the upper surface of the slide rail is provided with distance scale lines along its length direction, and the minimum unit of the distance scale lines is 1 cm.

[0017] By adopting the above scheme, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the position and spacing of the proximity switch, it is installed on the slide rail. When adjusting the position of the proximity switch, the distance scale line can be referred to for adjustment, which is more convenient during operation.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of the egg chain online dynamic monitoring device, a universal cable harness seat is also provided next to each proximity switch, one end of the universal cable harness seat is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the egg chain conveyor line, and the single cable is harnessed in an S-shaped lead-in manner;

[0019] A horizontally arranged cable plate is fixed inside the universal cable harness seat, and two parallel slide grooves are provided on the cable harness plate. A screw is slidably installed in each slide groove, and a cable cap is threadedly installed on the top of the screw. The bottom of the cable cap can contact the cable harness plate, and the single cable is wound with the two cable caps as turning points in turn.

[0020] The bottom end of the screw is a smooth round head; a rotating handle is fixed on the top of the cable cap.

[0021] By adopting the above scheme, in order to prevent the single cable from falling and affecting the normal operation of the lower conveyor chain of the egg chain conveyor belt, when in use, the cable holder is rotated and directed toward the location of the proximity switch, and the single cable connected to the proximity switch is wound with the two cable caps as turning points in turn, and then the two cable caps are slid to make the single cable taut, and then the cable cap is rotated to make it contact with the cable plate to fix it. At this time, the single cable will not fall because it is taut.

[0022] An egg chain online dynamic monitoring method is implemented using the egg chain online dynamic monitoring device, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0023] S1. Before starting the egg line detection alarm system, you need to select the number of proximity switches, alarm delay time, system mode and alarm sound on / off according to the actual situation on the control box;

[0024] S2, connect the AS-i bus cable to the egg line detection alarm system of the control box, and the egg line detection alarm system starts to work;

[0025] S3, each proximity switch starts to sense each chain of the egg chain conveyor belt during operation, and transmits the signal to the control box through the AS-i bus cable for unified processing;

[0026] S4. If the proximity switch continuously senses each chain within the set time range, it is considered that the central egg line is working normally; if the proximity switch continuously fails to sense or continuously senses the chain within the set time range, it is considered that the central egg line is working abnormally, an alarm is issued and the central egg line is stopped;

[0027] S5. If the distance between the proximity switches needs to be adjusted, it can be adjusted accordingly according to the distance scale lines on the slide rail so that the distance between all proximity switches remains consistent;

[0028] S6. Rotate the cable holder and make it face the proximity switch. Wind the single cable connected to the proximity switch with the two cable caps as turning points. Slide the two cable caps to make the single cable taut. Then rotate the cable cap to make it contact with the cable plate to fix it. At this time, the single cable will not affect the normal operation of the lower conveyor chain of the egg chain conveyor belt due to falling.

[0029] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0030] 1. The device adopts AS-i bus technology, which integrates the power supply and signal lines connected to the proximity switch into one cable for transmission, reducing the laying of a large number of cables and making it more beautiful when used; secondly, after adopting AS-i bus technology, the signal of each proximity switch can be directly transmitted to the control box, skipping the intermediate relay and directly transmitting the signal to the control box, reducing the possibility of false alarm;

[0031] 2. In order to facilitate power supply and signal transmission, the power line and signal line are integrated into a single cable, and then the single cable is integrated into the AS-i main cable. The construction and wiring are simple and the cost is lower;

[0032] 3. In order to enhance the protection of the AS-i bus cable, it is hidden in the protective cable tube to extend its service life;

[0033] 4. In order to facilitate the adjustment of the position and spacing of the proximity switch, it is installed on the slide rail. When adjusting the position of the proximity switch, you can refer to the distance scale line for adjustment, which is more convenient in operation;

[0034] 5. In order to prevent the single cable from falling and affecting the normal operation of the lower conveyor chain of the egg chain conveyor belt, when in use, turn the cable holder and make it face the proximity switch, and wind the single cable connected to the proximity switch with the two cable caps as turning points in turn, then slide the two cable caps to make the single cable taut, and then turn the cable cap to make it contact with the cable plate to fix it. At this time, the single cable will not fall because it is taut. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
