Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of egg filling technology, and more specifically, to an automatic egg filling device. Background Technology

[0002] Automatic egg filling equipment is mainly used to automatically and accurately fill cleaned and sorted eggs into egg trays, packaging bags, or containers, replacing manual operation. It can significantly improve packaging efficiency, reduce egg breakage rate, reduce the risk of contamination from human contact, save labor costs, and ensure uniform filling. It is a key piece of equipment for egg processing plants and large-scale farms to achieve automated production.

[0003] Existing patent publication number CN220577586U discloses an automatic egg filling device. This solution uses a lifting mechanism to drive a tray to alternately tilt back and forth, causing the eggs on the feeding tray to roll back and forth, filling the feeding holes. The eggs are then held in place by a plate in the filling state to prevent them from falling out of the feeding holes. Once the feeding holes are full, the driving mechanism drives the plate to switch from the filling state to the unloading state, causing the eggs to fall out of the feeding holes and into subsequent packaging equipment. This achieves automatic egg filling, avoiding manual filling and further improving food safety. However, it has the following drawbacks.

[0004] When eggs are automatically filled, the eggs are placed in batches and then stick together. This makes it difficult to use tilting force to achieve different specified intervals between the eggs, making it difficult to perform batch positioning and filling. As a result, the filling of eggs is not only inaccurate in positioning, but also inefficient. Summary of the Invention

The sleeve is fixedly connected to the outer inclined frame. Guide rods are provided on both sides of the first electric cylinder. Both guide rods are slidably connected to the sleeve and fixedly connected to the inclined pressure plate.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom end of the partition plate is rounded, and the cross-sectional shape of the plurality of positioning grooves is rectangular.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, one end of the outer inclined frame is fixedly connected to a feed frame; The lower surface of the feed frame is provided with a support block, and both the machine casing and the feed frame are fixedly connected to the support block.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the separation component includes: A linkage plate is fixed to one side of the baffle, and a linkage block is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the linkage plate; The push shaft is fixedly connected to one side of the linkage block; The second electric cylinder is installed at one end of the push shaft. The outer wall of the second electric cylinder is fixedly connected to the machine housing. The second electric cylinder is used to push the linkage block to move.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the upper inclined surface of the linkage plate and the upper inclined surface of the baffle are arranged parallel to each other, and both the linkage plate and the linkage block are inclined.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the baffle is slidably connected to the inclined hole disc, and the cross-sectional shape of the baffle is rectangular.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the docking unit includes: A positioning strip contacts one end of the packing orifice plate.

[0015] The technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows:

[0016] 1. This invention uses a docking unit to drive the filling plate to move precisely below the baffle. With the help of the spacer assembly, the multiple eggs attached to the inclined plate are separated and positioned one by one using the separator plate and positioning groove. Then, the separation assembly pushes the linkage block and linkage plate through the second electric cylinder to remove the baffle. The positioned eggs are then simultaneously passed through the inclined plate and fall into the filling plate under the action of gravity. This achieves one-time precise synchronous filling of a batch of eggs, with high positioning accuracy and significantly improved filling efficiency.

[0017] 2. The present invention uses the first electric cylinder of the spacer assembly to drive the push rod, which is guided by the sleeve and the guide rod to move the inclined pressure plate and the separator plate down synchronously. This allows multiple separator plates to be inserted into the gaps between the eggs. With the help of the positioning groove, the batch of eggs are separated one by one and precisely positioned and aligned, so as to achieve a uniform spacing arrangement of the batch of eggs with high positioning accuracy, providing a reliable foundation for subsequent synchronous filling.

[0018] 3. This invention uses a separation component. The docking electric cylinder pushes the moving block to move the moving plate and positioning strip via the sliding plate. The side fixing block simultaneously drives the filling hole plate to tilt and dock below the inclined hole plate. The slider ensures smooth movement and ensures that the eggs fall accurately into the filling hole plate, avoiding misalignment and further improving the overall filling accuracy and consistency.

[0028] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the figures and specific embodiments.

[0029] Example 1: In this technology, such as Figure 1 - Figure 2 An automatic egg filling device is shown, including a housing 1, with an inclined hole plate 2 on the upper part of the housing 1; a spacer assembly disposed on the outer wall of the inclined hole plate 2; a baffle 3 sliding on the lower inclined surface of the inclined hole plate 2, with a separation assembly disposed on one side of the baffle 3; and a filling hole plate 4 located on one side of the baffle 3, with a docking unit installed on the filling hole plate 4. In use, the docking unit drives the filling hole plate 4 to be located below the baffle 3. The multiple eggs on the inclined hole plate 2 are positioned at intervals by the spacing component. At the same time, the separation component drives the baffle 3 to move, so that the multiple eggs are simultaneously positioned and enter the filling hole plate 4.

[0030] Example 2: In this embodiment, as Figure 1 - Figure 4As shown, the spacer assembly includes: an outer inclined frame 5, fixedly connected to the outer wall of the inclined hole plate 2; a spacer plate 7 fixed to the top of the spacer plate 6; and multiple positioning grooves 8 for positioning eggs on the inner wall of the spacer plate 7; an inclined pressure plate 13, fixed to the upper inclined surface of the spacer plate 7; a push rod 9 fixed to the upper surface of the inclined pressure plate 13; a first electric cylinder 10 installed at the top of the push rod 9; and a sleeve 11 slidably connected to the outer wall of the push rod 9. The sleeve 11 is fixedly connected to the outer inclined frame 5. Guide rods 12 are provided on both sides of the first electric cylinder 10. Both guide rods 12 are slidably connected to the sleeve 11 and fixedly connected to the inclined pressure plate 13. The bottom end of the spacer plate 6 is rounded, and the cross-sectional shape of the multiple positioning grooves 8 is rectangular. One end of the outer inclined frame 5 is fixedly connected to the feed frame 14; the lower surface of the feed frame 14 is provided with a support block 15, and both the machine housing 1 and the feed frame 14 are fixedly connected to the support block 15.

[0031] In use, this technology uses a support block 15 supported by the housing 1, which in turn supports the feeding frame 14. The feeding frame 14 supports the outer inclined frame 5. Multiple eggs are placed on the inner wall of the feeding frame 14 and moved along the inclined surface of the feeding frame 14 to the upper inclined surface of the inclined plate 2. At the same time, the controller 29 activates the first electric cylinder 10, which pushes the push rod 9 downward. The push rod 9 moves downward along the inner wall of the sleeve 11. Simultaneously, the push rod 9 drives the inclined pressure plate 13 downward, which in turn drives the two guide rods 12 downward. The two guide rods 12 move downward along the inner wall of the sleeve 11. At the same time, the inclined pressure plate 13 drives the separator plate 7 downward, which in turn drives multiple separator plates 6 downward. The multiple separator plates 6 intermittently squeeze the gaps between the multiple eggs, thus positioning and aligning the multiple eggs inside the multiple positioning slots 8.

[0032] Example 3: In this embodiment, as Figure 2 - Figure 5 As shown, the separation component includes: a linkage plate 16, which is fixed to one side of the baffle 3, and a linkage block 17 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the linkage plate 16. A push shaft 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the linkage block 17; a second electric cylinder 19 is installed at one end of the push shaft 18, and the outer wall of the second electric cylinder 19 is fixedly connected to the housing 1. The second electric cylinder 19 is used to push the linkage block 17 to move. The upper inclined surface of the linkage plate 16 is parallel to the upper inclined surface of the baffle 3, and both the linkage plate 16 and the linkage block 17 are inclined. The baffle 3 is slidably connected to the inclined hole plate 2, and the cross-sectional shape of the baffle 3 is rectangular.

[0033] When this technology is in use, when the filling orifice plate 4 is located in the area below the baffle 3, and multiple eggs enter the multiple positioning slots 8, the controller 29 starts the second electric cylinder 19. The output end of the second electric cylinder 19 pushes the push shaft 18 to the right. The push shaft 18 drives the linkage block 17 to the right. The linkage block 17 drives the linkage plate 16 to the right. The linkage plate 16 drives the baffle 3 to the right. The baffle 3 moves to the right along the lower surface of the inclined orifice plate 2, so that the baffle 3 no longer contacts the lower surface of the inclined orifice plate 2. In this way, the eggs inside the multiple positioning slots 8 pass through the holes of the inclined orifice plate 2 synchronously under the action of gravity and are discharged into the multiple filling orifice plates 4 along the holes of the multiple inclined orifice plates 2.

[0034] Example 4: In this embodiment, as Figure 6 - Figure 8 As shown, the docking unit includes: a positioning strip 20, which contacts one end of the filling orifice plate 4; a movable plate 22 is fixed to the bottom end of the positioning strip 20; side fixing blocks 21 are fixed to both ends of the positioning strip 20; the side fixing blocks 21 are slidably connected to the filling orifice plate 4; a sliding plate 23, which is fixed to one end of the movable plate 22; a movable block 24 is fixed to the lower surface of the sliding plate 23; a docking electric cylinder 25, which is installed on one side of the movable block 24; the docking electric cylinder 25 is used to push the movable block 24 to move; a support block 26 is connected to one end of the docking electric cylinder 25; a support plate 28, which is set at the bottom end of the support block 26; both the support plate 28 and the docking electric cylinder 25 are fixedly connected to the support block 26; and the support plate 28 is fixedly connected to the housing 1; and a slider 27, which is slidably set on the outer wall of the docking electric cylinder 25; and the slider 27 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 23. The positioning strip 20 and the movable plate 22 are both inclined, and the two side fixing blocks 21 are symmetrically arranged about the positioning strip 20. A controller 29 is installed on one side of the outer wall of the housing 1, and the controller 29 is fixedly connected to the housing 1.

[0035] In use, the docking electric cylinder 25 is activated by the controller 29. At the same time, the housing 1 supports the support plate 28, the support plate 28 supports the support block 26, and the support plate 28 supports the docking electric cylinder 25. The controller 29 activates the docking electric cylinder 25, and the output end of the docking electric cylinder 25 pushes the moving block 24 to the right. The moving block 24 drives the slide plate 23 to the right, the slide plate 23 drives the moving plate 22 to the right, the moving plate 22 drives the positioning strip 20 to the right, the positioning strip 20 drives the two side fixing blocks 21 to the right, and the two side fixing blocks 21 and the positioning strip 20 all drive the packing hole plate 4 to tilt and move to the right. In this way, the inclined hole plate 2 can be aligned with the bottom of the packing hole plate 4.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any limitation on the present invention. Modifications, equivalent substitutions, etc., made within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
