[0002] Automated egg conveyor belts are flexible conveyor belts that circulate and adapt to the characteristics of eggs. They are used in the egg production process for automated conveying equipment. With their gentle, breakage-resistant structure, intelligent speed regulation for stable operation, and ease of cleaning and maintenance, they have become a practical tool for egg producers such as chicken farms and egg processing plants. Whether it is egg collection in chicken houses, sorting and packing, or warehousing and transfer, automated egg conveyor belts can achieve efficient and low-loss egg transportation, making the production process smoother and helping practitioners save time and increase efficiency.

[0003] However, the existing technology has the following shortcomings: the current egg conveying mechanism is mainly composed of a single egg conveyor belt.

[0033] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings: Example 1

[0034] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown: This embodiment provides an automated egg conveying mechanism, including an integrated conveying machine 1, which includes a conveying device 11. A partitioned gantry frame 13 is provided next to the end of the conveying device 11, and a lifting unit 16 is provided next to the partitioned gantry frame 13. A lifting support frame 12 is connected to the inner side of the partitioned gantry frame 13. An even number of mounting seat adjustment rails 14 are installed on the upper surface of the lifting support frame 12. A robot mounting seat 15 is erected between the mounting seat adjustment rails 14. A motor seat 17 is fixed on one side of the conveying device 11, and a conveyor belt motor 18 is installed on the motor seat 17. Furthermore, the conveying device 11 is mainly driven by the conveyor belt motor 18 on the motor base 17 on one side, and the built-in conveyor belt 112 is driven by the drive shaft and transmission gear connected to the conveyor belt motor 18 to complete the egg transfer.

[0035] Furthermore, the gantry 13 is mainly used for the conveying equipment 11 to pass through, and the end of the conveying equipment 11 is connected to the hoisting unit 16 set next to the gantry 13, so as to achieve a seamless connection.

[0036] Furthermore, the mounting base adjustment rail 17 is mainly fixed to the upper surface of the lifting support 12, and at least two rails are provided and arranged in parallel, so as to allow the robot mounting base 15 to adjust the installation position, so as to facilitate the robot mounting base 15 to install the robot and complete the egg distribution on the lifting unit 16.

[0037] Furthermore, the conveyor belt motor 18 is composed of an asynchronous motor, a frequency converter, and a PLC, and is synchronously controlled in conjunction with the controller on the conveying assembly 114.

[0038] The conveying equipment 11 includes an equipment frame 111, a conveyor belt 112 is installed between the equipment frames 111, an even number of parallel shielding strips 113 are installed on the inner side of the equipment frame 111, and a guide assembly 114 is fixed on the upper frame at the end of the equipment frame 111. Furthermore, the end of the equipment frame 111 is in a closed state, and the closed part has an inclined rubber guide plate, so that when the conveyor belt 112 changes direction, it can be disengaged from the conveyor belt 112 due to inertia and inclination.

[0039] Furthermore, the shielding strip 113 is mainly used to shield the conveyor belt 112 below to prevent the side panels of the conveyor belt from being exposed.

[0040] The conveyor belt 112 includes a circulating belt body 1121. A lower support segment belt 1122 is fixed on the inner ring of the circulating belt body 1121. Several evenly distributed alignment grooves 1123 are opened on the inner ring of the circulating belt body 1121. Several rows of evenly distributed egg-placement grooves 1124 are opened on the surface of the circulating belt body 1121. An even number of grooves 1125 are evenly distributed around the egg-placement grooves 1124. Buffer support columns 1126 are installed on the even number of grooves 1125. Egg-placement pads 1127 are placed between the buffer support columns 1126. Support limit rods 1128 are installed at the bottom of the egg-placement grooves 1124.

[0041] Furthermore, the surface of the circulating belt 1121 is provided with at least five rows, and each row has a number of egg-laying slots 1124 evenly distributed in a ring. With the cooperation of the conveyor belt motor 18, the circulating belt 1121 is driven to work continuously with ten eggs as a unit.

[0042] Furthermore, the lower support segment belt 1122 is mainly used to support the circulating belt body 1121, and it is folded during reversal, achieving a smooth reversal transition through mutual support during the folding process.

[0043] Furthermore, the buffer support columns 1126 are installed in the inner side wall grooves 1125 of the slot, with the same number as the inner side wall grooves, and at least four sets are provided, which are distributed in a ring at the four positions of the egg placement groove 1124 on the belt, for supporting the imitation egg placement pad 1127.

[0044] Furthermore, the buffer support column 1126 is mainly used to ensure that the artificial egg placement pad 1127 eliminates the resonance caused by the operation of the equipment during its forward movement, and reduces the vibration damage to the embryo.

[0045] Furthermore, the egg-laying mat 1127 is designed to prevent the large end of the egg from deforming, thereby improving the stability of both the egg-laying process and the forward movement on the conveyor belt 112.

[0046] The specific working principle is as follows: In this invention, a conveyor belt motor 18 mounted on a motor base 17 next to the conveyor device 11 drives the conveyor belt 112 to rotate. With the assistance of the drive shaft and transmission gear shaft of the conveyor belt motor 18, the conveyor belt 1122 engages with the alignment groove 1123 on the circulating belt body 1121, driving the circulating belt body 1121 forward. During this movement, eggs are manually placed in the egg placement groove 1124 at the end of the conveyor belt 1122, and placed on the imitation egg placement mat 1127. Supported by the support columns 1126 in the inner sidewall groove 1125 of the groove, the support columns provide support after the eggs are placed. The support acts as a resonance buffer during the forward movement of the conveyor belt 112, and also allows the eggs to be placed independently in their respective positions. As the conveyor belt 112 moves forward in a 1:1 ratio of ten egg positions, when it reaches the end of the conveyor belt 112, the eggs on the artificial egg placement pad 1127 are removed from the pad due to the change in direction of the conveyor belt 112. Driven by inertia, they are transported by the inclined rubber guide plate on the equipment frame 111. The guide component 114 is triggered synchronously and works in conjunction with the lifting unit 16 next to the gantry frame 13 to achieve a seamless connection from egg placement to lifting. Example 2

[0047] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 8 As shown: The integrated conveyor 1 includes a conveying device 11, with a gantry frame 13 at one end of the conveying device 11, a lifting unit 16 next to the gantry frame 13, and a lifting support frame 12 connected to the inner side of the gantry frame 13. An even number of mounting seat adjustment rails 14 are installed on the upper surface of the lifting support frame 12, and robot mounting seats 15 are installed between the mounting seat adjustment rails 14. A motor base 17 is fixed to one side of the conveying device 11, and a conveyor belt motor 18 is installed on the motor base 17. The conveying device 11 also includes a frame 111, with a conveyor belt 112 installed between the frames. An even number of parallel shielding strips 113 are installed on the inner side of the frame 111. A guide assembly 114 is fixed on the upper frame at the end of 11; the conveyor belt 112 includes a circulating belt body 1121, a lower support segment belt 1122 is fixed on the inner ring of the circulating belt body 1121, a number of evenly distributed belt alignment grooves 1123 are opened on the inner ring of the circulating belt body 1121, a number of evenly distributed belt egg placement grooves 1124 are opened on the surface of the circulating belt body 1121, an even number of grooves 1125 are evenly distributed around the belt egg placement grooves 1124, buffer support columns 1126 are installed on the even number of grooves 1125, an imitation egg placement pad 1127 is placed between the buffer support columns 1126, and a support limit rod 1128 is placed at the bottom of the belt egg placement grooves 1124.

Guide bar fixing frames 166 are installed on the inner wall of the fixed bracket 161, and an even number of carrying trays 164 are installed between them.

[0049] Furthermore, the carrying tray 164 has a certain tilt angle from the inside to the rear, which makes it easier to load the eggs when collecting them and avoids the eggs falling off due to lifting and moving them outward.

[0050] Furthermore, the guide bar fixing frame 166 is mainly used to assist the stable cyclic operation of the drive component 165, indirectly completing the batch lifting of eggs to a certain height, breaking the inherent limitations of traditional production lines that rely on planar space.

[0051] The guiding assembly 114 includes a mounting platform 1141. An even number of limiting slide blocks 1142 are fixed on the upper surface of the mounting platform 1141. A controller 1143 is arranged between the limiting slide blocks 1142. An even number of electrically controlled push rods 1144 are installed on the upper surface of the mounting platform 1141. A linkage frame 1145 is arranged below the mounting platform 1141 through the limiting slide blocks 1142. An even number of extension plates 1146 are fixed below the mounting platform 1141.

[0052] Furthermore, at least two electrically controlled push rods 1144 are provided, installed at both ends of the mounting platform 1141, and connected to the linkage frame 1145 at the top, so as to form a stable horizontal movement in conjunction with the limit slide block 1142.

[0053] Furthermore, the controller 1143 installed on the erection platform 1141 is mainly used to control the coordinated operation of the electric push rod 1144, the hoisting unit 16 and the conveying equipment 11 respectively.

[0054] Furthermore, at least four extension plates 1146 are provided and are fixedly installed below the mounting platform 1141. Thus, the linkage frame 1145 is driven by the triggering of the electric push rod 1144, which indirectly triggers the extension plates 1146 to achieve extension and retraction.

[0055] The drive turntable 163 has an even number of slots 1631, and slot alignment slides 1634 are engaged in the slots 1631. The slot alignment slides 1634 are fixed on the triangular stabilizer 1633. The triangular stabilizers 1633 are connected by connecting chains 1632. The drive assembly 165 includes a reducer 1651, a motor 1652 is connected to the reducer 1651, a drive gear shaft 1653 is connected to the front of the reducer 1651, an even number of transmission chains 1654 are connected to the drive gear shaft 1653, and transmission gear discs 1655 are meshed on the transmission chains 1654.

[0056] Furthermore, the slot alignment slide 1634 is mainly installed on the connecting chain 1632, fixing two parallel angles of its triangular stabilizer 1633, while the third angle of the triangular stabilizer 1633 is used to suspend the load-bearing pallet 164.

[0057] Furthermore, the other end of the slot alignment slide 1634 is mainly installed on the guide bar fixing frame 166, and slides and moves according to the trajectory of the guide bar fixing frame 166.

[0058] Furthermore, the transmission gear 1655 is connected to the drive shaft, allowing the drive turntable 163 to rotate under its drive, while the top of the drive shaft is connected to the auxiliary rotating shaft seat 162 to achieve auxiliary rotation.

[0059] The extension plate 1146 includes a nested plate body 11461. Each nested plate body 11461 has a fixed plate rod 11462 fixed to its top. Each nested plate body 11461 has a guide plate 11463 nested inside it. Each nested plate body 11461 has a sliding groove 11464 on it. Each guide plate 11463 has a plate interconnecting block 11465 installed on its upper surface. Each plate interconnecting block 11465 is connected to a transmission connecting frame 11466 in front of it. A connecting rod 11467 is fixed on the transmission connecting frame 11466.

[0060] Furthermore, the sliding groove 11464 on the nested plate 11461 is interconnected with the built-in space, thereby allowing the guide plate 11463 nested in the nested plate to be connected, fixed and slid with the plate interconnecting block 11465.

[0061] Furthermore, the transmission connecting frame 11466 is connected to the front of the plate interconnecting block 11465, and is connected to the linkage frame 1145 through the connecting rod 11467. Under the linkage displacement of the linkage frame 1145, the expansion and retraction of the guide plate 11463 are completed.

[0062] Furthermore, the surfaces of the nesting plate 11461 and the guide plate 11463 are both nested with textured silicone sleeves to protect the passing eggs and to cushion them with the texture.

[0063] The specific working principle is as follows: This invention involves manually placing eggs at one end of a conveyor device 11, with a control switch on the conveyor device 11 to activate the conveyor belt motor 18 on the motor base 17. After manual egg placement, the eggs are sequentially placed into egg-shaped placement pads 1127 in the brush alignment grooves 1123 on the circulating belt 1121. The egg-shaped placement pads 1127 are supported by buffer support columns 1126 in the inner sidewall grooves 1125 around the egg placement grooves 1124 on the belt, eliminating vibrations generated during the operation of the conveyor belt 112. As the circulating belt 1121 moves along the equipment frame 111... Using ten egg positions as a unit, when the end of the circulating conveyor belt 1121 turns, the lower support segment belts 1122 overlap and support each other as they turn, causing the imitation egg placement pads 1127 on the ten egg positions to detach. Under the influence of inertia, they are transported by the inclined rubber guide plates on the equipment frame 111. Inside the guide assembly 114, the controller 1143 on the mounting platform 1141 is activated, and the electric control push rod 1144 resonates, pushing the linkage frame 1145 on the limit slide block 1142 to move. The linkage frame 1145 drives the connecting rod 11467 to indirectly drive the plate interconnecting block 11465 to slide on the plate. The egg moves within the slot 11464, causing the guide plate 11463 within the nested plate 11461 to pass through and guide the detached egg, which then gathers in the inclined support tray 164. As the egg enters, the guide plate 11463 is reversed by the electrically controlled push rod 1144 to retract. The support tray 164, in conjunction with the drive assembly 165, motor 1652, and reducer 1651, drives the drive gear shaft 1653 to rotate, causing the transmission chain 1654 to drive the transmission gear disc 1655, which in turn drives the drive turntable 163 to rotate, thus locking the slot alignment slide post 1634. The triangular stabilizer 1633, positioned within the slot 1631 on the tray, is lifted by the connecting chain 1632, causing the carrying tray 164 to be lifted in a Ferris wheel-like manner. This process is repeated until the tray reaches the top of the fixed support 161. At the highest point, the eggs in the carrying tray 164 are then guided by a robot on the robot mounting seat 15, which is installed between the mounting seat adjustment rails 14 on the lifting support 12. This overcomes the inherent limitations of traditional production lines that rely on planar space, reducing labor intensity and optimizing the utilization of production line space, providing an efficient and labor-saving solution for the egg conveying and guiding process.

[0064] The operation method includes the following steps; S1 Manual feeding and start-up: Eggs are manually placed and fed onto the conveyor 11, and then a start-up command is issued; S2 Precise distance setting and stopping; the preset controller 1143 counts in ten-egg positions, with ten-egg positions as a base-1 system, to achieve precise stopping; S3 guides the diversion and loading; synchronously with step S2, the guide plate 11463 is indirectly triggered by the electrically controlled push rod 1144 and extends into the carrying tray 164 in the lifting unit 16 to guide the eggs. S4 mechanism resets and lifts; after guide plate 11463 retracts, lifting unit 16 starts working, lifting the eggs synchronously. The S5 robot picks up and guides the egg; after being lifted to a high position, it is picked up by the robot on the robot mounting base 15 and placed at another guide point, completing the height change and subsequent guidance of the automated egg conveyor belt.
