Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of egg conveying equipment, and in particular to an egg conveying device. Background Art

[0002] In the automated egg production process, conveying devices for transferring eggs between different workstations are indispensable.

[0003] In the existing related technology, the egg conveying device includes a chain and a plurality of egg claws, the plurality of egg claws are used to fix the eggs, and the plurality of egg claws are installed on the chain and convey the eggs in a horizontal direction through the chain.

[0004] The egg claw includes a first gripper, a second gripper and an electromagnet. The first gripper and the second gripper are rotatably matched with each other. The electromagnet is installed between the first gripper and the second gripper, and the electromagnet drives the first gripper and the second gripper to move closer to or away from each other through the extension and retraction of its own mover, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the egg claw through the electromagnet.

[0005] In actual operation, the closed egg claws are placed in the egg loading area at the input end of the conveyor, and then the eggs move horizontally with the egg claws. When the egg claws move to the designated position of the egg drop area, the electromagnet will keep the egg claws open, so that the eggs fall into the various egg receiving parts at the bottom (such as egg trays, egg-breaking claws or chutes, etc.), thereby transferring the eggs to other workstations. After the eggs fall from the egg claws, the electromagnet will immediately close the egg claws. With regard to the above-mentioned related technologies, eggs of larger sizes are often mixed in the transported eggs. Compared with eggs of smaller sizes, larger eggs take longer to completely detach from the egg claws, which may easily lead to the egg claws starting to close before the eggs are completely detached, increasing the damage rate of eggs during the transportation process. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to reduce the damage rate of eggs during transportation, the present application provides an egg transportation device.

[0007] The egg conveying device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: An egg conveying device comprises a frame, an egg claw conveying member and an egg conveying claw; The egg conveying device is provided with an egg loading area, an egg dropping area and an egg unloading area, wherein the egg loading area, the egg dropping area and the egg unloading area are sequentially distributed along the egg conveying direction, the egg loading area is used to transfer eggs into the conveying egg claws, and the egg dropping area is used to transfer eggs in the conveying egg claws to the egg receiving piece; The egg claw conveying member and the conveying egg claw are both installed on the frame, and the egg claw conveying member is used to make the conveying egg claw move along the egg conveying direction; The egg conveying claw has an open state and a closed state; When the egg conveying claw is in the open state, the eggs in the egg conveying claw will fall from the egg conveying claw; When the egg conveying claw is in a closed state, the eggs in the egg conveying claw will move together with the egg conveying claw; When the egg conveying claw is located in the egg loading area, the egg conveying claw is in a closed state; When the egg conveying claw is located in the egg landing area, the egg conveying claw changes from a closed state to an open state, and the egg conveying claw will maintain the open state after changing to the open state; When the egg conveying claw is located in the egg unloading area, the egg conveying claw changes from an open state to a closed state.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the egg conveying claws are opened in the egg dropping area, so that the eggs fall from the egg conveying claws. After the egg conveying claws are opened, they will remain open until they enter the egg unloading area, so that the eggs are not easily damaged due to the premature closing of the egg conveying claws during the egg dropping process in the egg dropping area, thereby reducing the damage rate of eggs during the transportation process.

[0009] Optionally, the egg conveying claw comprises a first gripper, a second gripper and an egg claw locking member; The first gripper, the second gripper and the egg claw locking member are all movably mounted on the egg claw conveying member, an opening elastic member is mounted between the first gripper and the second gripper, and a closing elastic member is mounted between the egg claw locking member and the egg claw conveying member; When the egg conveying claw changes from a closed state to an open state, the closing elastic member stores elastic force, and the opening elastic member releases the elastic force so that the first gripper and / or the second gripper moves in a direction away from each other; When the egg conveying claw changes from an open state to a closed state, the opening elastic member stores elastic force, and the closing elastic member releases the elastic force so that the egg claw locking member is engaged with the first gripper and / or the second gripper; The frame is equipped with an opening trigger and a closing trigger. The opening trigger is located in the egg dropping area and is used to disengage the egg claw locking member from the first gripper and / or the second gripper. The closing trigger is located in the egg unloading area and is used to move the first gripper and / or the second gripper in a direction of approaching.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the opening trigger located in the egg landing area causes the egg claw locking member to disengage from the first gripper and / or the second gripper, thereby causing the opening elastic member to release the elastic force, causing the first gripper and / or the second gripper to move in a direction away from each other, thereby changing the egg conveying claw to an open state. After the egg conveying claw is changed to a closed state, the elastic force of the opening elastic member makes it difficult for the first gripper and / or the second gripper to move in a direction close to each other, thereby locking the egg conveying claw in an open state.

[0011] The closing trigger located in the egg unloading area causes the first gripper and / or the second gripper to move in the approaching direction, thereby changing the egg conveying claw into the closed state. After the egg conveying claw is changed into the closed state, the closing elastic member releases the elastic force so that the egg claw locking member is engaged with the first gripper and / or the second gripper, thereby making it difficult for the first gripper and / or the second gripper to move in the approaching or moving away direction, thereby locking the egg conveying claw into the closed state.

[0012] Therefore, by independently arranging the opening trigger and the closing trigger on the egg conveying claw, and making the opening trigger and the closing trigger simultaneously used for the opening and closing of multiple egg conveying claws, it is beneficial to reduce the structural complexity of the egg conveying claws, thereby reducing the difficulty of wiring the egg conveying claws, and facilitating the arrangement of a sufficient number of egg conveying claws in the egg conveying device to meet actual production needs.

[0013] Optionally, the first gripper and the second gripper can both rotate, and the egg claw locking member can rotate independently of the first gripper and the second gripper; The first gripper is engaged with the second gripper by teeth, and the second gripper is provided with a clamping protrusion; When the egg claw locking piece is engaged with the first gripper, the egg claw locking piece abuts against the engaging protrusion; When the egg claw locking piece is detached from the first gripper and / or the second gripper, the egg claw locking piece rotates in a direction away from the clamping protrusion, and the clamping protrusion rotates in a direction close to the egg claw locking piece.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when the egg claw is changed from the closed state to the open state, the egg claw locking member rotates in a direction away from the clamping protrusion, so that the egg claw locking member no longer locks the first gripper and the second gripper. Subsequently, the opening elastic member releases the elastic force, so that the first gripper and the second gripper rotate in a direction away from each other, thereby changing the egg claw to the open state, and the egg claw is kept in the open state by the elasticity of the opening elastic member itself.

[0015] When the egg conveying claw changes from an open state to a closed state, the closing trigger member changes the egg conveying claw to a closed state. Subsequently, the egg claw locking member rotates under the action of the closing elastic member and abuts against the clamping protrusion, so that the first gripper cannot rotate, and the second gripper whose teeth are engaged with the first gripper cannot rotate together, so that the egg conveying claw remains in a closed state. Therefore, the egg conveying claw can effectively reduce the number of parts of the egg conveying claw, so that the production, use and maintenance costs of the egg conveying claw are more controllable.

[0016] Optionally, the opening triggering members are provided in plurality, and the plurality of opening triggering members are sequentially distributed along the egg conveying direction; The opening trigger member comprises a trigger plate and a trigger driving element, and the trigger driving element is used to make the trigger plate move towards or away from the egg claw locking member.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to make the eggs fall at the designated position, after the egg conveying claw reaches the designated position, the trigger plate of the opening trigger member corresponding to the designated position approaches the egg claw locking member. Since the egg conveying claw always moves along the egg conveying direction, the trigger plate will block the egg claw locking member, and then the egg claw locking member will be moved away from the clamping protrusion, so that the egg conveying claw is changed to the open state at the designated position and the eggs are dropped at the designated position.

[0018] Optionally, the frame is provided with a trigger adjustment component, and the trigger adjustment component is used to make the opening trigger member move in the same direction or in the opposite direction along the egg conveying direction.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, according to the movement speed of the egg conveying claw, the trigger adjustment component causes the opening trigger to move a specified distance along the egg conveying direction, and then adjusts the position of the egg conveying claw to change to the open state. In this way, when the initial velocity of the egg is inconsistent, it can still fall to the specified position along the parabola when falling, thereby reducing the occurrence of errors in the egg falling position.

[0020] For example, when the egg conveying device is just turned on or off, the movement speed of the egg conveying claw is slow, and the initial velocity of the egg when it leaves the egg conveying claw is small. In order to make the eggs still fall accurately to the designated position, the trigger is opened and moves in the same direction along the egg conveying direction, so that the eggs are separated from the egg conveying claw at a position closer to the designated position, so that the eggs with a small initial velocity can still fall to the designated position farther away.

[0021] Optionally, the trigger adjustment assembly includes an adjustment panel, an adjustment screw and an adjustment drive member; The adjusting panel is slidably matched with the frame along the egg conveying direction, the opening trigger is installed on the adjusting panel, the adjusting screw is rotationally matched with the frame and threadedly matched with the adjusting panel, and the adjusting driving member is used to rotate the adjusting screw.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the adjustment screw can be rotated to drive the adjustment panel to move a specified distance along the egg conveying direction, and the structure is simple and reliable.

[0023] Optionally, when the egg conveying claw changes from an open state to a closed state, the closing trigger member abuts and cooperates with the first gripper.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, when the egg conveying claw moves along the egg conveying direction, the closing trigger member abuts and cooperates with the first gripper, so that the first gripper is blocked by the closing trigger member and then rotates, thereby driving the first gripper and the second gripper to move toward each other in the approaching direction through the teeth, thereby closing the egg conveying claw, and the structure is simple and reliable.

[0025] Optionally, the egg conveying claw recirculates into the egg loading area after leaving the egg unloading area; The frame is equipped with a forced opening member, which is located in the egg unloading area, and the forced opening member and the closing trigger member are distributed in sequence along the egg conveying direction, and the forced opening member is used to transform the conveying egg claw into an open state.

[0026] By adopting the above technical scheme, when the egg conveying claws are always in a closed state in the egg dropping area due to various reasons, so that eggs remain in the egg conveying claws, the egg conveying claws are changed to an open state through the forced opening member, so that there are no eggs inside the egg conveying claws after they are re-circulated into the egg loading area, thereby reducing the number of eggs being loaded into the egg conveying claws that already have eggs, thereby reducing the occurrence of egg damage.

[0027] Optionally, the egg conveying claws are provided with a plurality of; The frame is provided with an egg diverter, which is located in the egg unloading area and is used to make the eggs dropped from the egg conveying claws drop in the first direction or the second direction.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, when two adjacent egg conveying claws are always in a closed state in the egg landing area and enter an open state through the forced opening member, the eggs are diverted along the first direction and the second direction through the egg diverter member, so that the eggs are not easy to fall to the same position, thereby reducing the occurrence of collision and damage of two consecutive eggs.

[0029] Optionally, the egg diverter is located at the bottom of the forced opening member, the egg diverter is rotated and matched with the frame without power, and the egg diverter is provided with a first diverter slot and a second diverter slot; When the egg diverter is in a stationary state, the first diverter slot and the second diverter slot are respectively located on both sides of the axis of the egg diverter in the horizontal direction; When the eggs roll along the first diverter slot, the eggs fall toward the first direction, and the egg diverter element rotates toward the first direction; When the eggs roll along the second diverter groove, the eggs fall toward the second direction, and the egg diverter element rotates toward the second direction.

[0030] By adopting the above technical scheme, when two adjacent egg conveying claws are always in a closed state in the egg landing area and enter an open state at the same position by forcing the opening member, the eggs first move toward the first direction through the first diverter slot, and apply torque to the egg diverter member through gravity, thereby driving the egg diverter member to rotate in the first direction, so that the second diverter slot rotates to the egg dropping position, so that the eggs move toward the second direction through the second diverter slot again, and apply torque to the egg diverter member through gravity, thereby causing the egg diverter member to move in the second direction, so that the first diverter slot rotates again to the egg dropping position, thereby diverting two consecutive eggs that have not dropped in the egg landing area through the first diverter slot and the second diverter slot.

[0031] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. The egg conveying claws are opened in the egg dropping area, so that the eggs fall from the egg conveying claws. After the egg conveying claws are opened, they will remain open until they enter the egg unloading area, so that the eggs are not easily damaged due to the premature closing of the egg conveying claws during the egg dropping process, thereby reducing the damage rate of eggs during the transportation process; 2. When the egg claw is changed from the closed state to the open state, the egg claw locking member rotates in a direction away from the clamping protrusion, so that the egg claw locking member no longer locks the first gripper and the second gripper. Subsequently, the opening elastic member releases the elastic force, so that the first gripper and the second gripper rotate in a direction away from each other, thereby changing the egg claw to the open state, and the egg claw is kept in the open state by the elasticity of the opening elastic member itself; When the egg conveying claw changes from an open state to a closed state, the closing trigger member changes the egg conveying claw to a closed state. Subsequently, the egg claw locking member rotates under the action of the closing elastic member and abuts against the clamping protrusion, so that the first gripper cannot rotate, and the second gripper whose teeth are engaged with the first gripper cannot rotate together, so that the egg conveying claw remains in a closed state. Therefore, the egg conveying claw can effectively reduce the number of parts of the egg conveying claw, so that the production, use and maintenance costs of the egg conveying claw are more controllable.

[0032] 3. When two adjacent egg conveying claws are always in a closed state in the egg dropping area and enter an open state through a forced opening member, the eggs are diverted along a first direction and a second direction through an egg diverter member, thereby making it difficult for the eggs to fall to the same position, thereby reducing the occurrence of collision and damage of two consecutive eggs.

[0046] The following is combined with Figure 1-12 This application is described in further detail.

[0047] Embodiment 1: Embodiment 1 of the present application discloses an egg conveying device. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The egg conveying device is provided with an egg loading area, an egg dropping area and an egg unloading area, and the egg loading area, the egg dropping area and the egg unloading area are sequentially distributed along the egg conveying direction. The egg conveying device comprises a frame, an egg claw conveying member 1 and a plurality of egg conveying claws 2. Among them, in Example 1 of the present application, the egg conveying direction is specifically set in the horizontal direction. The egg loading area is used to transfer eggs to the egg conveying claws 2, and the egg dropping area is used to transfer the eggs in the egg conveying claws 2 to the egg receiving member. The egg receiving member is all objects known to those skilled in the art that can be used to load eggs, such as egg trays, conveying troughs, and manipulators.

[0048] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The egg claw conveyor 1 is used to move a plurality of egg claws 2 in sequence along the egg conveying direction, so that the egg claws 2 pass through the egg loading area, the egg dropping area and the egg unloading area in sequence. In the embodiment 1 of the present application, the egg claw conveyor 1 is a chain driven by a motor (not shown in the figure) and a sprocket (not shown in the figure), and the egg claw conveyor 1 can circulate in a vertical plane. A plurality of egg claws 2 are installed on the egg claw conveyor 1, so that the egg claws 2 pass through the egg claw conveyor 1 along the egg conveying direction, and after leaving the egg unloading area through the egg claw conveyor 1, they recirculate into the egg loading area, thereby cyclically transferring between the egg loading area, the egg dropping area, the egg unloading area and the egg loading area.

[0049] Reference Figure 4 , the egg conveying claw 2 includes a first gripper 21 and a second gripper 22. Moreover, in the embodiment 1 of the present application, when the egg conveying claw 2 moves along the egg conveying direction, the second gripper 22 is located in front of the first gripper 21. The first gripper 21 is rotationally matched with one of the egg claw conveying member 1, and the second gripper 22 is rotationally matched with another of the egg claw conveying member 1, so that both the first gripper 21 and the second gripper 22 can rotate, so that the egg conveying claw 2 enters a closed state by moving the first gripper 21 and the second gripper 22 toward each other, and the egg conveying claw 2 enters an open state by moving the first gripper 21 and the second gripper 22 toward each other.

[0050] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 When the egg conveying claw 2 is in a closed state, the eggs in the egg conveying claw 2 are fixed by the first gripper 21 and the second gripper 22, so that the eggs are fixed in the egg conveying claw 2 and move with the egg conveying claw 2. When the egg conveying claw 2 is in an open state, the eggs in the egg conveying claw 2 will fall from between the first gripper 21 and the second gripper 22 under the action of gravity, so that the eggs are separated from the egg conveying claw 2.

[0051] In addition, when the egg conveying claw 2 is located in the egg loading area, the egg conveying claw 2 will remain in a closed state, so that the eggs can fall in the egg loading area and be loaded into the egg conveying claw 2. When the egg conveying claw 2 is located in the egg dropping area, the egg conveying claw 2 changes from a closed state to an open state, and the egg conveying claw 2 will maintain the open state after changing to the open state, so that the eggs loaded in the egg loading area can be placed in the egg receiving piece in the egg dropping area. When the egg conveying claw 2 is located in the egg unloading area, the egg conveying claw 2 changes from an open state to a closed state, so that the egg conveying claw 2 can circulate into the egg loading area to load eggs.

[0052] Reference Figures 4 to 6 , the teeth of the first gripper 21 and the second gripper 22 are meshed, so that the first gripper 21 and the second gripper 22 rotate synchronously to achieve closing or opening. An opening elastic member 23 is installed between the first gripper 21 and the second gripper 22, and in Example 1 of the present application, the type of the opening elastic member 23 is a tension spring. In addition, when the egg conveying claw 2 changes from an open state to a closed state, the opening elastic member 23 will undergo elastic deformation and store elastic force. When the egg conveying claw 2 changes from a closed state to an open state, the opening elastic member 23 will release the elastic force stored in the closed state of the egg conveying claw 2, so that the first gripper 21 and the second gripper 22 rotate in a direction away from each other, so that the egg conveying claw 2 enters and remains in an open state.

[0053] In order to make the opening elastic member 23 maintain elastic deformation to store elastic force when the egg conveying claw 2 is in the closed state, the first gripper 21 and / or the second gripper 22 can be locked after the first gripper 21 and the second gripper 22 are close to each other, so that the opening elastic member 23 cannot restore elastic deformation. In order to make the first gripper 21 and / or the second gripper 22 be locked, it can be achieved by pin perforation locking, friction tightness or protrusion clamping.

[0054] Specifically, in the embodiment 1 of the present application, in order to make the opening elastic member 23 maintain elastic deformation to store elastic force when the conveying egg claw 2 is in the closed state, the second gripper 22 is also integrally provided with a clamping protrusion 221, and the conveying egg claw 2 also includes an egg claw locking member 3. The clamping protrusion 221 is arranged in an arc shape, and the rotation axis of the clamping protrusion 221 coincides with the rotation axis of the second gripper 22, and the clamping protrusion 221 is arranged close to the egg claw locking member 3.

[0055] The egg claw locking member 3 is located between the first gripper 21 and the second gripper 22, and the egg claw locking member 3 is rotatably matched with the egg claw conveying member 1, and a closing elastic member 31 is installed between the egg claw locking member 3 and the egg claw conveying member 1. In addition, in the embodiment 1 of the present application, the type of the closing elastic member 31 is a torsion spring.

[0056] When the conveying egg claw 2 is in a closed state, the closing elastic member 31 makes the egg claw locking member 3 abut against the clamping protrusion 221 of the second gripper 22, so that the second gripper 22 is clamped by the egg claw locking member 3, thereby locking the rotation of the second gripper 22 and the first gripper 21, so that the opening elastic member 23 cannot restore the elastic deformation and store the elastic force.

[0057] Reference Figure 7 When the egg claw 2 is changed from the closed state to the open state, the egg claw locking member 3 overcomes the elastic force of the closing elastic member 31, and rotates to the top of the clamping protrusion 221 in the direction away from the clamping protrusion 221 of the second gripper 22, so that the clamping protrusion 221 rotates to the bottom of the egg claw locking member 3, and then the clamping protrusion 221 blocks the rotation and reset of the egg claw locking member 3, so that the egg claw locking member 3 is separated from the second gripper 22. After the egg claw locking member 3 is no longer in contact with the clamping protrusion 221, the opening elastic member 23 stretches and releases the elastic force, so that the first gripper 21 and the second gripper 22 move in the direction away from each other, thereby changing the egg claw 2 to the open state.

[0058] When the egg conveying claw 2 is in the open state, the opening elastic member 23 limits the rotation of the first gripper 21 and the second gripper 22 by its own elasticity, and the snap-fit ​​protrusion 221 located at the bottom of the egg claw locking member 3 will also block the rotation and reset of the egg claw locking member 3, so that the egg conveying claw 2 will always remain in the open state after it is transformed.

[0059] When the egg claw 2 is changed from the open state to the closed state, the first gripper 21 and the second gripper 22 overcome the elastic force of the opening elastic member 23 and rotate toward each other, so that the clamping protrusion 221 rotates away from the bottom of the egg claw locking member 3. After the clamping protrusion 221 moves away from the bottom of the egg claw locking member 3, the closing elastic member 31 releases the elastic force, so that the egg claw locking member 3 rotates and fits tightly with the clamping protrusion, so that the egg claw 2 is locked in the closed state.

[0060] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 8 The frame is provided with a trigger adjustment component 4 and an opening trigger 5. The trigger adjustment component 4 includes an adjustment panel 41, an adjustment screw 42 and an adjustment drive 43. The adjustment panel 41 is slidably matched with the frame along the egg conveying direction, the adjustment screw 42 is rotationally matched with the frame and threadedly matched with the adjustment panel 41, and the type of the adjustment drive 43 is a servo motor, and the output shaft of the adjustment drive 43 is coaxially connected to the adjustment screw 42 through a coupling, so that the adjustment screw 42 is rotated by the adjustment drive 43, so that the adjustment panel 41 moves in the same direction or reverse direction along the egg conveying direction.

[0061] There are a plurality of opening triggers 5, and the plurality of opening triggers 5 are all located in the egg dropping area, and the plurality of opening triggers 5 are all installed on the adjustment panel 41, and the plurality of opening triggers 5 are distributed in sequence in the egg conveying direction, and the plurality of opening triggers 5 are all used to make the egg claw locking member 3 close to its own position rotate in the direction away from the clamping protrusion 221, so that the conveying egg claw 2 enters the open state at the desired position. For example, when the running speed of the conveying egg claw 2 exceeds the design speed, the adjustment panel 41 is moved in the reverse direction along the egg conveying direction, so that the opening trigger 5 makes the conveying egg claw 2 enter the open state at a position away from the specified position, so that the eggs that are too fast after leaving the conveying egg claw 2 can still fall to the specified position under the action of gravity. For another example, when the running speed of the conveying egg claw 2 is lower than the design speed, the adjustment panel 41 is moved in the same direction along the egg conveying direction, so that the opening trigger 5 makes the conveying egg claw 2 enter the open state at a position close to the specified position, so that the eggs that are too slow after leaving the conveying egg claw 2 can still fall to the specified position under the action of gravity. Therefore, it is beneficial for the egg conveying claw 2 to accurately transfer the eggs to the designated position.

[0062] The opening trigger 5 includes a trigger plate 51 and a trigger driving element 52. The trigger driving element 52 is a rotating electromagnet and is fixedly mounted on the adjustment panel 41. The trigger plate 51 is arranged in an "L" shape and is fixedly mounted on the mover of the trigger driving element 52 so that the trigger plate 51 can be rotated around the opening axis to approach or move away from the egg claw locking element 3 through the trigger driving element 52. In the embodiment 1 of the present application, the opening axis is an axis on a horizontal plane perpendicular to the egg conveying direction.

[0063] Combination Figure 4 The top of the egg claw locking member 3 is provided with an opening inclined surface 301, and the opening inclined surface 301 is arranged toward the egg conveying direction. When the egg claw locking member 3 needs to be rotated in the direction away from the clamping protrusion 221, the egg claw conveying member 1 drives the conveying egg claw 2 to move along the egg conveying direction, and the "L"-shaped corner portion of the trigger plate 51 abuts against the opening inclined surface 301 and moves along the opening inclined surface 301, thereby blocking and driving the egg claw locking member 3 to rotate away from the second gripper 22, so that the conveying egg claw 2 enters the open state under the action of the opening elastic member 23.

[0064] Reference Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The frame is fixedly mounted with a closing trigger 6, which is located in the egg unloading area. The closing trigger 6 is plate-shaped, and the end of the closing trigger 6 is tilted upward. Figure 4The first gripper 21 is provided with a closing slope 211, and the closing slope 211 is arranged toward the egg conveying direction. When the first gripper 21 and the second gripper 22 need to rotate in a direction close to each other, the egg claw conveying member 1 drives the conveying egg claw 2 to move along the egg conveying direction, and the raised end of the closing trigger member 6 abuts against the closing slope 211 and moves along the closing slope 211, thereby blocking and driving the first gripper 21 and the second gripper 22 to overcome the elastic force of the opening elastic member 23 and approach each other, so that the conveying egg claw 2 enters a closed state under the action of the egg claw locking member 3, which is convenient for the subsequent circulation rotation to the egg loading area for loading eggs.

[0065] Reference Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The frame is equipped with a forced opening member 7, which is located in the egg unloading area, and the forced opening member 7 and the closed trigger member 6 are sequentially distributed along the egg conveying direction. The forced opening member 7 is arranged in a plate shape, and the end of the forced opening member 7 is tilted upward. When it is necessary to make the conveying egg claw 2 enter the open state before contacting the closed trigger member 6, the egg claw conveying member 1 drives the conveying egg claw 2 to move along the egg conveying direction, and the tilted end of the forced opening member 7 abuts against the opening inclined surface 301 and moves along the opening inclined surface 301, thereby blocking and driving the egg claw to lock and rotate away from the second gripper 22, so that the conveying egg claw 2 enters the open state under the action of the opening elastic member 23, so that the eggs retained in the conveying egg claw 2 are forced to fall to the bottom of the conveying egg claw 2.

[0066] The implementation principle of the egg conveying device in Example 1 of the present application is as follows: the egg conveying claws 2 are in a closed state when in the egg loading area, so that after the eggs fall onto the egg conveying claws 2, they move along the egg conveying direction to the egg landing area together with the egg conveying claws 2.

[0067] The egg conveying claw 2 changes from a closed state to an open state in the egg dropping area, so that the eggs fall from the egg conveying claw 2. After the egg conveying claw 2 is opened, it will remain open until entering the egg unloading area, so that the eggs are not easily damaged due to the premature closing of the egg conveying claw 2 during the egg dropping process in the egg dropping area, thereby reducing the damage rate of eggs during the transportation process.

[0068] Embodiment 2: Embodiment 2 of the present application discloses an egg conveying device, which, in addition to all the technical features of Embodiment 1, further includes the following technical features: Reference Fig.11 The frame rotates without power and is equipped with an egg diverter 8, which is located in the egg unloading area and at the bottom of the forced opening member 7. The egg diverter 8 is provided with a first diverter slot 81 and a second diverter slot 82. The first diverter slot 81 is used to make the eggs dropped into the first diverter slot 81 move in a first direction, and the second diverter slot 82 is used to make the eggs dropped into the second diverter slot 82 move in a second direction.

[0069] In the present application, the first direction refers to the direction in the same direction as the egg conveying direction, which is toward one side of the egg diverter 8. The second direction refers to the direction in the opposite direction to the egg conveying direction, which is toward the other side of the egg diverter 8.

[0070] The egg diverter 8 is elastic and flexible, and in Example 2 of the present application, the material of the egg diverter 8 is silicone, so that eggs are not easily damaged by bumps after falling onto the egg diverter 8, and the egg rebounding from the first diverter groove 81 or the second diverter groove 82 is reduced.

[0071] The egg diverter 8 has the ability to maintain the initial rotation angle, that is, when the egg diverter 8 is rotated in the first direction or the second direction under the action of an external force and the external force is removed, the egg diverter 8 will rotate in the opposite direction toward the second direction or the first direction, and finally the egg diverter 8 will remain stationary at the initial rotation angle.

[0072] The egg diverter 8 can have the ability to maintain the initial rotation angle in the following ways: first, after the egg diverter 8 is rotated to the initial rotation angle, the center of gravity of the egg diverter 8 is located directly below the rotation center of the egg diverter 8, so that it returns to the initial rotation angle through gravity.

[0073] Secondly, an elastic member, such as a torsion spring, is installed between the egg diverter 8 and the frame, so that after the egg diverter 8 rotates to the initial rotation angle, the elastic member is in a natural state and no elastic force is stored. When the egg diverter 8 rotates in the first direction or the second direction, the elastic member is deformed and releases the elastic force after the external force is eliminated, so that the egg diverter 8 rotates in the second direction or the first direction to the initial rotation angle in the opposite direction.

[0074] Specifically, in the second embodiment of the present application, the egg diverter 8 has the ability to maintain the initial rotation angle through a torsion spring (not shown in the figure).

[0075] A first tilting portion is provided at the bottom end of the first diverting groove 81 to ensure that when the egg rolls to the first tilting portion in the first diverting groove 81, the egg diverting member 8 rotates in the first direction. A second tilting portion is provided at the bottom end of the second diverting groove 82 to ensure that when the egg rolls to the second tilting portion in the second diverting groove 82, the egg diverting member 8 rotates in the second direction.

[0076] The implementation principle of an egg conveying device in Example 2 of the present application is as follows: Fig.10 and Fig.11 When the eggs have not fallen onto the egg diverter 8 , the egg diverter 8 remains stationary at the initial angle, and at this time, the first diverter slot 81 and the second diverter slot 82 are located on both sides of the axis of the egg diverter 8 , respectively.

[0077] When multiple egg conveying claws 2 are continuously turned into the open state by the forced opening member 7, the eggs in the front sequence first fall along the parabola to the first diverter trough 81 and roll along the first diverter trough 81, so that the eggs fall in the first direction and the egg diverter 8 rotates in the first direction, so that the second diverter trough 82 rotates to the parabola of the eggs in the rear sequence.

[0078] Subsequently, the eggs in the subsequent sequence fall along the parabola to the second diverter trough 82 and roll along the second diverter trough 82, so that the eggs fall in the second direction and the egg diverter 8 rotates in the second direction, so that the first diverter trough 81 rotates again to another parabola of the eggs in the subsequent sequence, so that multiple consecutive eggs fall to different positions respectively, reducing the situation where multiple eggs repeatedly fall to the same position and cause collision between the successive eggs, thereby reducing the occurrence of egg damage.

[0079] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
