Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of auxiliary equipment for an egg tray production line, in particular to a tray clamping device for an egg tray production line. Background Art

[0002] Egg trays generally refer to tools used to hold poultry eggs. They are mainly trays with grooves for holding poultry eggs. According to the different materials used, they can be divided into pulp egg trays, plastic, etc. The more common ones are pulp trays. Pulp egg trays are mostly made of recycled paper pulp pressed by molding machines. Because of their simple production process, low cost, and no environmental pollution, they are called "green" packaging and have become the most common egg trays in our daily lives.

[0003] Generally, when pulp egg trays are produced, the egg trays coming out of the dryer need to enter the stacking equipment for stacking. Most manufacturers convey the dried pulp egg trays to the stacking equipment through a conveyor, and directly slide down to the input end of the stacking equipment through an inclined plate. Generally, the egg trays after sliding down the inclined plate are arranged in a messy manner, and the stacking equipment cannot perform the stacking work. Manual sorting and alignment are required to make the stacking equipment run smoothly. Although the existing manual alignment method before stacking can make the subsequent stacking equipment stack egg tray products smoothly, the work efficiency is low. In order not to affect the delivery date of the egg tray products, additional personnel are needed to stack them, which causes a certain waste of labor resources. Utility Model Content

[0032] When in use, the utility model is installed at the output end of the dryer, and the conveyor 1 can be a conveyor used in the prior art for transporting egg tray products. The driving wheel 11 drives the transmission belt to transport the product while driving the transmission wheel 31 to rotate synchronously. When the transmission wheel 31 rotates, it drives the swing arm assembly to swing back and forth along the conveying direction parallel to the product under the action of other parts of the transmission assembly 3, and then drives the clamping assembly 5 to swing back and forth along the conveying direction parallel to the product. When swinging to the conveyor, the product is clamped by the clamping assembly 5, and then the swing arm assembly drives the clamping assembly 5 to swing to the appropriate position of the subsequent stacking device. The clamping assembly 5 releases the product and the product can be placed in the appropriate position. The utility model replaces the traditional method of manually arranging and aligning the egg trays before stacking by placing the clamping device between the dryer and the stacking device. The egg trays can be quickly clamped to the appropriate position and placed neatly, which is convenient for the subsequent stacking equipment to stack smoothly, improves work efficiency, and greatly saves labor costs. In addition, the structure of the utility model is more ingenious. Through a motor of the conveyor, the clamping assembly 5 can smoothly swing back and forth along the product conveying direction to quickly pick up and place products, which reduces the number of motors used and indirectly reduces the maintenance cost of the clamping device.
