Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an egg feeding buffer device based on a brush roller and its working method. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, after eggs are collected, they need to be sorted according to different weights. Generally, egg grading machines are used for sorting. After sorting, the existing egg grading machines use a multi-layer feeding egg clamping mechanism to drop the eggs layer by layer to the output mechanism, reducing the breakage rate during the egg receiving process. However, since the conveying and dropping of the multi-layer feeding egg clamping mechanism takes a lot of time, the overall production efficiency is low, and the overall equipment is very complex, making production and maintenance difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an egg feeding buffer device based on a brush roller and its working method. The device is reasonably designed and uses a buffer belt and a buffer mechanism to achieve rapid egg dropping, thereby improving production efficiency. At the same time, the setting of the brush roller avoids the risk of collision between two rows of eggs falling at the same time, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing the breakage rate during the receiving process.

[0004] The present invention is implemented by the following scheme: an egg feeding buffer device based on a brush roller: including a buffer belt and a buffer mechanism, wherein the buffer belt is located at the corner where the egg grading machine and the output mechanism are connected, and the buffer mechanism is installed on the side of the buffer belt.

[0005] Furthermore, the buffer belt is a flexible belt, and the buffer mechanism includes a primary buffer brush roller, which is rotatably connected to the side of the buffer belt, and the outer periphery of the primary buffer brush roller abuts against the inner side of the corner of the buffer belt.

[0006] Furthermore, a horizontal bristle-discharging brush is provided above the primary buffer brush roller. The bristle-discharging brush is located on the side away from the upper end of the buffer belt, and the bristle-discharging brush divides the area above the primary buffer brush roller into a direct feeding area and a slow-down feeding area.

[0007] Furthermore, a secondary buffer brush roller is rotatably connected to the side of the primary buffer brush roller at the lower end of the buffer belt output port.

[0008] Furthermore, the upper input end of the buffer belt is vertical and the lower output end is horizontal, forming a rounded corner. The buffer belt is a double-layer belt. A horizontal clamping plate is sandwiched inside the belt body at the lower output end of the buffer belt. The belt body located above the clamping plate at the lower output end of the buffer belt protrudes upward and fits against the outer periphery of the primary buffer brush roller.

[0009] Furthermore, the primary buffer brush roller includes a primary rotating roller, on which a plurality of short bristles are densely distributed on the outer circumference of the cylinder, and long bristles are connected to the ends of the short bristles. The inner side of the corner of the buffer belt abuts against the ends of the long bristles. The secondary buffer brush roller includes a secondary rotating roller, on which bristles are densely distributed on the outer circumference of the cylinder. The bristle arrangement brush includes a horizontal fixed rod, on which bristles are arranged horizontally at intervals on one side, and the ends of the bristles face the upper end of the buffer belt.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a frame, the upper end of which is connected to the egg grading machine, the side of which is connected to the output mechanism, the first-stage rotating roller and the second-stage rotating roller are rotatably connected to the frame, the horizontal fixed rod is movably connected to the frame, and the frame is symmetrically provided with guard plates at both ends of the first-stage rotating roller.

[0011] Furthermore, the frame is symmetrically slidably connected with fixed rod mounting seats, and the horizontal fixed rod is horizontally placed between the two mounting seats. Horizontal guide grooves perpendicular to the horizontal fixed rods are opened on the left and right sides of the top of the frame corresponding to the mounting seats. Guide screws that cooperate with the horizontal guide grooves are installed on the mounting seats. The frame is symmetrically connected with fixed seats, and the upper end of the guard plate is fixed to the fixed seat on the same side. The guard plate is provided with clearance holes for the first-stage rotating roller and the second-stage rotating roller to pass through. Horizontal guide screws are installed on the frame corresponding to the fixed seats, and horizontal guide grooves are opened on the fixed seats corresponding to the horizontal guide screws, arranged along the axial direction of the first-stage rotating roller.

[0012] Furthermore, the output port of the egg grading machine is located above the primary buffer brush roller, the upper end of the buffer belt is fixed to the frame, the lower end of the buffer belt is connected to the output mechanism, and the secondary buffer brush roller is located on the input end of the output mechanism.

[0013] A working method of an egg feeding buffer device based on a brush roller: Step S1: The egg grading machine simultaneously drops two rows of sorted poultry eggs, which then enter the direct feeding area and the slow-down feeding area respectively. Step S2: The eggs entering the direct feeding area fall directly onto the primary buffer brush roller. The bristles outside the primary buffer brush roller wrap around the eggs and, with the help of the buffer belt, transfer the eggs to the input end of the output mechanism and onto the bristles of the secondary buffer brush roller. The bristles of the secondary buffer brush roller reduce the direct output speed of the eggs. Step S3: While step 2 is being performed, the eggs entering the slow-down feeding zone fall onto the bristle brush, and then slide onto the primary buffer brush roller, so that the eggs entering the slow-down feeding zone and the eggs entering the direct feeding zone are staggered in time, reducing the possibility of collision between the eggs entering the slow-down feeding zone and the eggs entering the direct feeding zone. Step S4: The eggs from the direct feeding area and the slow-down feeding area in steps S2 and S3 are output through the output mechanism.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: it is reasonably designed, and the use of a buffer belt and a buffer mechanism to achieve rapid dropping of eggs improves production efficiency. At the same time, the setting of the bristle brush avoids the risk of collision between two rows of eggs falling at the same time, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing the breakage rate during the receiving process.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0018] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and intended to provide further explanation of this application. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0019] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0020] like Figure 1-4As shown, an egg feeding buffer device based on a brush roller includes a buffer belt 1 and a buffer mechanism 2. The buffer belt is located at the corner where the existing egg grading machine and the existing output mechanism 3 are connected. The buffer mechanism is installed on the side of the buffer belt. The output mechanism can be an existing egg conveyor belt. More specifically, the buffer belt is a flexible belt, that is, the buffer belt is bendable, so that there can be a rounded transition conveying corner between the egg grading machine and the output mechanism. The poultry eggs 4 of the egg grading machine can be fed into the output mechanism along the buffer belt. The buffer mechanism includes a primary buffer brush roller 5, which is rotatably connected to the side of the buffer belt. The outer periphery of the primary buffer brush roller abuts against the inner side of the corner of the buffer belt. The outer periphery of the primary buffer brush roller abuts against part of the buffer belt, supporting the buffer belt to form an arc-shaped surface, which facilitates the guidance of poultry eggs. At the same time, the bristles of the primary buffer brush roller wrap around the poultry eggs to achieve buffered conveying.

[0021] In this embodiment, to ensure that the timing of the two rows of sorted eggs falling synchronously onto the primary buffer brush roller is staggered, a horizontal brush 6 is provided above the primary buffer brush roller. The brush is located on the side away from the upper end of the buffer belt. The brush divides the area above the primary buffer brush roller into a direct feeding zone 7 and a slow-down feeding zone 8. Under the action of the brush, the eggs falling in the slow-down feeding zone will fall onto the primary buffer brush roller later than the eggs falling in the direct feeding zone, reducing the possibility of collision between the eggs entering the slow-down feeding zone and the eggs entering the direct feeding zone.

[0022] In this embodiment, to prevent the primary buffer brush roller from directly throwing the egg out of the lower end of the buffer belt, causing the egg to collide with the input end of the output mechanism, a secondary buffer brush roller 9 is rotatably connected to the side of the primary buffer brush roller at the lower end of the buffer belt output port. When the egg wrapped by the primary buffer brush roller comes out of the primary buffer brush roller, under the action of the rotation of the primary buffer brush roller, the egg will rush into the input end of the output mechanism. By setting the secondary buffer brush roller to buffer the egg, the impact is reduced.

[0023] In this embodiment, the upper input end of the buffer belt is vertical and the lower output end is horizontal, forming a rounded corner. The buffer belt is a double-layer belt, and a horizontal clamping plate 10 is sandwiched inside the belt body at the lower output end of the buffer belt. The clamping plate can extend from both ends of the buffer belt's interlayer. The lower end of the buffer belt is connected to the equipment frame through the clamping plate, avoiding bolts from appearing directly on the output end of the buffer belt and causing damage to the eggs. The belt body at the lower output end of the buffer belt, located above the clamping plate, protrudes upward 11 and fits against the outer periphery of the first-stage buffer brush roller. The protrusion can further prevent the eggs from directly and quickly colliding with the input end of the output mechanism when they come out of the first-stage buffer brush roller.

[0024] In this embodiment, to specifically realize that the primary and secondary buffer brush rollers can wrap and buffer the eggs, the primary buffer brush roller includes a primary rotating roller 12, on which a number of short bristles 13 are densely distributed on the outer circumference of the cylinder, and long bristles 14 are connected to the ends of the short bristles. The inner side of the corner of the buffer belt abuts against the end of the long bristles. The secondary buffer brush roller includes a secondary rotating roller 15, on which bristles 16 are densely distributed on the outer circumference of the cylinder. In order to achieve the initial blocking of the eggs by the bristle brush, the bristle brush includes a horizontal fixing rod 17, on which bristles 18 are horizontally spaced on one side, and the ends of the bristles face the upper end of the buffer belt.

[0025] In this embodiment, for rational design, a frame 19 is also included. The upper end of the frame is connected to the egg grading machine, and the side of the frame is connected to the output mechanism. The primary rotating roller and the secondary rotating roller are rotatably connected to the frame, and the horizontal fixed rod is movably connected to the frame. Protective plates 20 are symmetrically arranged on the frame at both ends of the primary rotating roller. The upper end of the buffer belt is fixed to the frame with bolts, and the lower end of the buffer belt is fixed to the frame with clamps and bolts and connected to the output mechanism. The protective plates prevent poultry eggs from falling out from both ends.

[0026] In this embodiment, mounting seats 21 are symmetrically slidably connected to the frame. A horizontal fixing rod is placed horizontally between the two mounting seats. The end of the horizontal fixing rod can be fixed to the mounting seat on the same side by bolts. Horizontal guide grooves 22 perpendicular to the horizontal fixing rod are opened on the left and right sides of the top of the frame corresponding to the mounting seats. Guide screws 23 that cooperate with the horizontal guide grooves are installed on the mounting seats. Through the cooperation of the guide screws and the horizontal guide grooves, the mounting seats can slide and be fixed, and the position of the brush can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the area between the direct feeding area and the slow-down feeding area. Fixed seats 24 are symmetrically slidably connected to the frame. The upper end of the guard plate is fixed to the fixed seat on the same side by bolts. The guard plate is provided with clearance holes for the first-stage rotating roller and the second-stage rotating roller to pass through. Horizontal guide screws are installed on the frame corresponding to the fixed seats. Horizontal guide grooves 25 that are arranged along the axial direction of the first-stage rotating roller are opened on the fixed seats corresponding to the horizontal guide screws. That is, the movement of the fixed seats is realized through the cooperation of the horizontal guide grooves and the horizontal guide screws, thereby making the position of the baffle adjustable.

[0027] In this embodiment, for the sake of reasonable design, more specifically, the output port of the egg grading machine is located above the primary buffer brush roller, the upper end of the buffer belt is fixed to the frame, the lower end of the buffer belt is connected to the output mechanism, and the secondary buffer brush roller is located on the input end of the output mechanism.

The bristles outside the primary buffer brush roller wrap around the eggs and, with the help of the buffer belt, transfer the eggs to the input end of the output mechanism and onto the bristles of the secondary buffer brush roller. The bristles of the secondary buffer brush roller reduce the direct output speed of the eggs. Step S3: While step 2 is being performed, the eggs entering the slow-down feeding zone fall onto the bristle brush, and then slide onto the primary buffer brush roller, so that the eggs entering the slow-down feeding zone and the eggs entering the direct feeding zone are staggered in time, reducing the possibility of collision between the eggs entering the slow-down feeding zone and the eggs entering the direct feeding zone. Step S4: The eggs from the direct feeding area and the slow-down feeding area in steps S2 and S3 are output through the output mechanism.
