[0034] Preferably, both the conveyor 1 and the egg weighing unit 101 adopted in this application are prior arts, and this application will not elaborate too much here.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , a plurality of egg discharging mechanisms 2 are all installed on the conveyor 1 and are connected to the egg weighing unit 101. The egg discharging mechanism 2 is used to safely convey the eggs on the conveyor 1 to the egg discharging conveyor 3. Compared with the falling conveying method adopted in the market, the eggs in this application are safer during air separation and are not prone to breakage, thus ensuring the air separation quality of the eggs.

[0036] Among them, the egg discharging mechanism 2 includes a bracket 201. The bracket 201 is used to install the egg transporting mechanism, and the bracket 201 is of an L-shaped structure.

[0037] Specifically, the bracket 201 includes a support rod 2010 and a cross bar 2011. The support rod 2010 is fixedly connected to the cross bar 2011 and is perpendicular to each other. The support rod 2010 is used to install the motor 202, and the cross bar 2011 is used to install the electric cylinder 205 and the suction cup 207.

[0038] Preferably, the length of the cross bar 2011 is greater than the width of the conveyor 1, and one end of the cross bar 2011 is located above the egg discharging conveyor 3, so that the eggs sucked by the suction cup 207 can be safely conveyed to the egg discharging conveyor 3 to realize the sorting of eggs.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , a transporting mechanism for eggs is installed on the bracket 201. The transporting mechanism for eggs is used to safely transport the eggs on the conveyor 1 to realize the air separation of eggs.

[0040] Among them, the transporting mechanism for eggs includes a motor 202. The motor 202 is installed on the support rod 2010. The output end of the motor 202 is connected to a lead screw 203. The motor 202 is used to drive the lead screw 203 to rotate.

[0041] In addition, a fixing plate is installed on the cross bar 2011. One end of the lead screw 203 is rotatably connected to the fixing plate for fixing the lead screw 203.

[0042] Specifically, the moving block 204 is threadedly connected to the screw rod 203. When the screw rod 203 rotates, the moving block 204 is moved by the action of the thread so as to adjust the horizontal positions of the electric cylinder 205 and the suction cup 207 so as to transport the eggs.

[0043] In addition, the moving block 204 is fixedly connected with a limit member 2041, and the cross bar 2011 is provided with a slide groove 2012, and the limit member 2041 is slidably arranged in the slide groove 2012. By sliding the limit member 2041 in the slide groove 2012, the moving block 204 can be stabilized, so that the moving block 204 is not easy to rotate with the screw rod 203.

[0044] Preferably, the length of the slide groove 2012 is smaller than the distance between the fixed plate and the support rod 2010, and is used to limit the moving distance of the moving block 204, so that the moving block 204 is not likely to collide with the support rod 2010 and the fixed plate.

[0045] See also Figures 1 to 5 An electric cylinder 205 is installed on the moving block 204, and the electric cylinder 205 is used to control the lifting and lowering of the suction cup 207 so that the suction cup 207 can absorb the poultry eggs.

When the suction cup 207 contacts the eggs, the eggs will be sucked by the suction cup 207. Control the electric cylinder 205 to contract, the suction cup 207 sucks the eggs and rises, and the eggs are separated from the conveyor 1. Operate the motor 202, the motor 202 drives the lead screw 203 to rotate, and the moving block 204 drives the electric cylinder 205, the mounting plate 206 and the suction cup 207 to move horizontally under the action of the thread until the suction cup 207 moves to the upper side of the egg output conveyor 3.

[0053] Control the electric cylinder 205 to extend again, so that the eggs sucked by the suction cup 207 are close to the egg output conveyor 3. Control the dual-purpose pump 208 to blow air into the suction cup 207 through the air pipe 209, so that a positive pressure is formed in the suction cup 207, and the eggs will be separated from the suction cup 207 and fall on the egg output conveyor 3, thereby realizing the selection of eggs.
