Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an egg transport guide device, and more particularly to an egg transport guide device applied in the field of egg transport. Background Technology

[0002] An egg is an ovum produced by poultry (such as chickens and ducks), and consists of four parts from the outside in: the shell, the shell membrane, the albumen (egg white), and the yolk. The eggshell is made of calcium carbonate and functions to protect the internal contents and regulate gas exchange; the albumen is rich in protein and water, providing nutrition for embryonic development; the yolk contains lipids, vitamins, and minerals, and is the core energy source for embryonic growth.

[0003] Eggs are an important source of protein for humans, with an amino acid composition that meets human needs. They are widely used in food processing and daily diets. The lecithin, vitamins A, D, E, and K in egg yolks promote the development of the nervous system and immune function. Equipment such as eggshell strength testers assess the compressive strength of eggshells, optimizing protective measures for eggs during transportation and storage to reduce breakage rates. As a globally important agricultural product, eggs achieve full-chain quality control from production to consumption through modern testing technologies (such as eggshell strength testers and quality analyzers), ensuring food safety and industrial economic value.

[0004] When transporting eggs, personnel use egg transport diversion devices. Before transporting the eggs, personnel load the eggs onto the device. During loading, it is difficult to classify and store eggs of different sizes in an orderly manner. As a result, personnel still need to spend time and effort to classify the eggs of different sizes, which is inconvenient for personnel to use. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that existing egg transport and diversion devices have difficulty classifying and storing eggs of different sizes in an orderly manner when loading eggs.

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides an egg transport and diversion device, comprising a diversion platform, an inclined trough I formed at the upper end of the diversion platform, multiple inclined troughs II of different widths formed on the inner bottom wall of the inclined trough I, multiple baffles fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the inclined trough I, multiple collection boxes fixedly connected to the side end of the diversion platform, multiple rectangular grooves formed on the inner walls of the collection boxes and the inclined troughs II, partition plates movably inserted inside the rectangular grooves, and electric push rods fixedly connected between the side ends of the partition plates and the inner side walls of the rectangular grooves, the inner bottom wall of the inclined trough I... A circular groove is provided on the top, and a cylinder is rotatably connected inside the groove. An arc-shaped plate and multiple fixed tubes are fixedly connected to the outer end of the cylinder. A sliding groove is provided on the inner wall of the circular groove, which is slidably connected to the arc-shaped plate. An arc-shaped spring is fixedly connected between the inner side wall of the sliding groove and the arc-shaped plate. An adjusting spring is sleeved on the outer end of the fixed tube. A chamfer plate is fixedly connected to the end of the adjusting spring away from the cylinder. A sensor is fixedly connected inside the baffle. A controller is fixedly connected inside the guide platform. The electric push rod and the sensor are both fixedly connected to the controller through wires.

[0007] In the aforementioned egg transport and diversion device, after the eggs are placed in the diversion platform, the inclined surface of the first chute causes the eggs to push the chamfered plate to rotate clockwise. Eggs of different sizes have different weights, so eggs of different sizes will push the chamfered plate to different angles. When the eggs move to the second chute, which is greater than or equal to their outer diameter, they will roll into the corresponding second chute. Then, the different eggs are separated and protected by the separator and the sponge layer. Therefore, when this device is used, it not only makes it easy for personnel to classify and place eggs of different sizes, but also separates and protects the eggs, making them less prone to breakage, thereby reducing the loss of eggs during transportation.

[0008] As a further improvement of this application, a pair of adjacent baffles are located on both sides of one end of the inclined trough, the side end of the collection box is connected to the inclined trough, multiple baffles are located on the same inclined surface, and the distance between two adjacent baffles is equal to the width of the inclined trough that is adjacent to them.

[0009] As a further improvement of this application, a support platform is placed against the lower end of the flow guide platform, and a pair of round blocks are fixedly connected to each other on one side. The ends of the pair of round blocks that are close to each other are rotatably connected to the flow guide platform through a rotating shaft.

[0010] As a further improvement of this application, the side end of the support platform is chamfered, and a pair of force-applying tubes are fixedly connected to the side end of the guide platform.

[0011] As a further improvement of this application, the lower end of the support platform is fixedly connected to multiple support frames, the lower end of the support frames is fixedly connected to casters, the cylinder and all its mechanisms are inclined inside the guide platform, and the inclination direction is consistent with the inclination direction of the inclined trough one, and the lower end of the chamfer plate is in contact with the inner bottom wall of the inclined trough one.

[0012] As a further improvement of this application, an arc-shaped tube is movably inserted inside the arc-shaped spring, the side end of the arc-shaped tube is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the slide groove, and the arc-shaped plate is slidably sleeved on the outer end of the arc-shaped tube.

[0013] As a further improvement of this application, in the initial state, both the adjusting spring and the arc spring are in a contracted state, and a sponge layer is fixedly connected to a pair of side ends of the partition plate.

[0014] As another improvement of this application, the side end of the chamfer plate is fixedly connected to the strength testing instrument body and the second sensor, and the upper end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the alarm.

[0015] As a further improvement to this application, the outer end of the alarm is fitted with a protective cover, and the intensity detector body, the second sensor, and the alarm are all electrically connected to the controller via wires.

[0016] 1. When using this application, after placing the eggs in the guide platform, the inclined surface of the first chute causes the eggs to push the chamfered plate to rotate clockwise. Different sized eggs have different weights, so different sized eggs will push the chamfered plate to different angles. When the egg moves to the second chute which is greater than or equal to its outer diameter, it will roll into the corresponding second chute. Then, the different eggs are separated and protected by the separator and the sponge layer. Therefore, when using this device, it not only makes it easy for personnel to classify and place eggs of different sizes, but also separates and protects the eggs, making them less likely to break, thereby reducing the loss of eggs during transportation.

[0017] 2. After placing a large egg in the inclined chute, if its own weight makes it difficult to push the chamfered plate to a range suitable for its weight, and sensor two detects that the egg has no tendency to push the chamfered plate to continue rotating, then the controller needs to activate the strength detector to detect the internal condition of the egg. The high-precision sensor inside the strength detector measures the compressive strength of the eggshell, indirectly reflecting the internal quality of the egg (such as a ruptured egg membrane or a fragile eggshell due to spoilage). When a problem with the internal quality of the egg is detected, the controller activates an alarm, sending an audible and visual signal to alert personnel that the egg has a quality problem. Therefore, this device can screen eggs with quality problems, ensuring the quality of eggs and preventing problematic eggs from entering the market. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The two embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] First implementation method:

[0031] Figure 1 and Figure 3-9An egg transport and diversion device is shown, including a diversion platform 1. The upper end of the diversion platform 1 is provided with an inclined groove 2. Multiple inclined grooves 3 of different widths are provided on the inner bottom wall of the inclined groove 2. Multiple baffles 4 are fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the inclined groove 2. Multiple collection boxes 16 are fixedly connected to the side end of the diversion platform 1. Multiple rectangular grooves 5 are provided on the inner walls of the collection boxes 16 and the inclined grooves 3. A partition plate 6 is movably inserted inside the rectangular groove 5. An electric push rod 7 is fixedly connected between the side end of the partition plate 6 and the inner side wall of the rectangular groove 5.

[0032] When the electric push rod 7 is activated, its telescopic end pushes the partition plate 6 to move out of the rectangular groove 5. When the end of the partition plate 6 away from the electric push rod 7 abuts against the other inner wall of the rectangular groove 5, the other end of the partition plate 6 will be flush with the side end of the rectangular groove 5.

[0033] A circular groove 8 is provided on the inner bottom wall of the inclined groove 2. A cylinder 9 is rotatably connected inside the circular groove 8. An arc plate 10 and multiple fixed tubes 11 are fixedly connected to the outer end of the cylinder 9. A sliding groove 12 is provided on the inner wall of the circular groove 8 and is slidably connected to the arc plate 10. An arc spring 13 is fixedly connected between the inner side wall of the sliding groove 12 and the arc plate 10. An adjusting spring 14 is sleeved on the outer end of the fixed tube 11. A chamfer plate 15 is fixedly connected to the end of the adjusting spring 14 away from the cylinder 9.

[0034] When the chamfering plate 15 moves toward one end closer to the cylinder 9, it will compress the adjusting spring 14, causing the adjusting spring 14 to contract on the fixed tube 11. During the movement of the chamfering plate 15, the fixed tube 11 can not only support the chamfering plate 15 and improve its stability, but also limit the movement trajectory of the chamfering plate 15, making it less likely to deviate from the cylinder 9.

[0035] Sensor 1 is fixedly connected inside the baffle 4, and controller is fixedly connected inside the guide platform 1. Electric push rod 7 and sensor 1 are both fixedly connected to controller via wires.

[0036] A pair of adjacent baffles 4 are located on both sides of one end of the inclined trough 3. The side end of the collection box 16 is connected to the inclined trough 3. Multiple baffles 4 are located on the same inclined surface, and the distance between two adjacent baffles 4 is equal to the width of the inclined trough 3 adjacent to them.

[0037] A support platform 17 is placed against the lower end of the flow guide platform 1. A pair of round blocks are fixedly connected to each of the two side ends of the support platform 17. The ends of the two round blocks that are close to each other are rotatably connected to the flow guide platform 1 through a rotating shaft. A chamfer is provided on the side end of the support platform 17. A pair of force application tubes are fixedly connected to the side end of the flow guide platform 1.

[0038] After loading the eggs into the inclined chute 23, you can hold the force application tube and push the device to move it to the specific area.

[0039] Multiple support frames are fixedly connected to the lower end of the support platform 17. Universal wheels are fixedly connected to the lower end of the support frames. The cylinder 9 and all its mechanisms are inclinedly arranged inside the guide platform 1, and the inclination direction is consistent with the inclination direction of the inclined groove 2. The lower end of the chamfer plate 15 is in contact with the inner bottom wall of the inclined groove 2. An arc-shaped tube 18 is movably inserted inside the arc spring 13. The side end of the arc-shaped tube 18 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the slide groove 12. The arc plate 10 is slidably sleeved on the outer end of the arc-shaped tube 18.

[0040] When the arc plate 10 rotates and compresses the arc spring 13 in the slide groove 12, the position of the arc tube 18 in the arc plate 10 will change continuously. The arc plate 10 is provided with a through hole communicating with the arc tube 18. The arc tube 18 can improve the stability of the arc plate 10 when it moves and the arc spring 13 when it contracts. At the same time, the diameter of the through hole is smaller than the inner diameter of the arc spring 13 so that the arc plate 10 can compress the arc spring 13.

[0041] In the initial state, both the adjusting spring 14 and the arc spring 13 are in the contracted state, and a sponge layer 19 is fixedly connected to a pair of side ends of the partition plate 6.

[0042] When the egg rolls into the inclined groove 2 3, the sponge layer 19 can buffer the impact of the egg and protect the eggshell during transportation, making the shell less prone to damage and thus reducing the amount of broken eggs.

[0043] The application is used in the following steps:

[0044] Step 1: When using, place the eggs one by one between a pair of adjacent chamfered plates 15 on the inclined groove 2. Under the weight of the eggs and the impact of sliding downwards, they will push the chamfered plates 15, causing the chamfered plates 15 to drive the fixed tube 11, the cylinder 9 and the arc plate 10 to rotate clockwise together. At the same time, the arc plate 10 will rotate on the arc tube 18 and squeeze the arc spring 13, causing the arc spring 13 to contract on the arc tube 18. The arc tube 18 can improve the stability of the arc plate 10 and the arc spring 13 when they move, thereby improving the stability of the cylinder 9 when it rotates.

[0045] As the chamfered plate 15 rotates, eggs with a diameter less than or equal to the width of the inclined groove 3 will roll into the interior of the inclined groove 3 of the corresponding width. When the sensor detects that the egg has entered the inclined groove 3, the controller immediately activates the electric push rod 7 located at the innermost side of the inclined groove 3, so that it pushes the partition plate 6 out of the rectangular groove 5 until the side end of the partition plate 6 abuts against the other inner wall of the inclined groove opposite it.

[0046] The egg will then come into contact with the sponge layer 19 on the partition plate 6. Then the adjacent electric push rod 7 will be activated to push the other partition plate 6 and sponge layer 19 adjacent to the egg out of the rectangular groove 5, so as to clamp the egg between the pair of partition plates 6 and use the sponge layer 19 to protect the egg from breakage.

[0047] Step 2: Repeat the operation in Step 1, and sort and load the eggs of different sizes according to their weight.

[0048] Step 3: After moving the device to the specific area, when unloading the eggs, you can hold the force tube and press the pair of force tubes down to make the guide platform 1 rotate downward on the support platform 17 at a certain angle, so that the eggs can roll out of the inclined groove 2 3.

[0049] After rotating the guide platform 1 downwards by a certain angle, the electric push rod 7 in the different inclined grooves 3 is activated, causing its telescopic end to pull the partition plate 6 backwards until the partition plate 6 is moved to... Figure 1 At the initial position, the partition plate 6 is removed from the eggs, thus releasing the limiting effect of the partition plate 6. After the partition plate 6 is removed, the eggs will roll out from the inclined chute 2 3. Finally, the personnel can collect the eggs of different sizes that roll out from the different inclined chute 2 3 and store them according to size.

[0050] In summary, when using this application, after placing the eggs in the guide table 1, the inclined surface of the inclined groove 2 causes the eggs to push the chamfered plate 15 to rotate clockwise. Different sized eggs have different weights, so different sized eggs will push the chamfered plate 15 to different angles. When the egg moves to the inclined groove 3 which is greater than or equal to its outer diameter, it will roll into the corresponding inclined groove 3. Then, the separator plate 6 and the sponge layer 19 are used to separate and protect the different eggs. Therefore, when using this device, it not only makes it easy for personnel to classify and place eggs of different sizes, but also separates and protects the eggs, making them less likely to break, thereby reducing the loss of eggs during transportation.

[0051] Second implementation method:

[0052] This embodiment adds the following structure based on the first embodiment, while the rest remains the same as the first embodiment, as detailed below:

[0053] Figure 2 and Figure 9 The side end of the chamfered plate 15 is fixedly connected to the strength tester body 20 and the second sensor 22. The upper end of the cylinder 9 is fixedly connected to the alarm 21. The outer end of the alarm 21 is movably fitted with a protective cover. The strength tester body 20, the second sensor 22 and the alarm 21 are all electrically connected to the controller through wires.

[0054] After placing a large egg in the inclined groove 2, if its own weight makes it difficult to push the chamfered plate 15 into a range suitable for its weight, and the sensor 22 detects that the egg has no tendency to push the chamfered plate 15 to continue rotating, then the controller needs to start the strength detector body 20 to detect the internal condition of the egg. The high-precision sensor inside the strength detector body 20 measures the compressive strength of the eggshell, which indirectly reflects the internal quality of the egg (such as eggshell fragility caused by egg membrane rupture or deterioration).

[0055] When an internal quality problem is detected in an egg, the alarm 21 is activated by the controller to send an audible and visual signal to the personnel to remind them that the egg has a quality problem. After that, the personnel need to remove the egg from the guide table 1 and place other eggs on the guide table 1 for loading.

[0056] Therefore, this device can screen eggs with quality problems, ensuring the quality of the eggs and preventing problematic eggs from entering the market.

[0057] The terms "front," "back," "left," "right," "top," and "bottom" all refer to the figures in the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 Based on the perspective of the observer, the side of the device facing the observer is defined as the front, the left side of the observer is defined as the left, and so on.

[0058] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this invention.

[0059] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention.
