Detailed Embodiments

[0019] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

The following mainly introduces the working principle and process.

[0021] During the use of traditional automatic egg pickers, small eggs are screened by baffles, and the screened eggs are taken from the top of the conveyor belt by a manipulator. Since the clamping force of the manipulator is not easy to be accurately adjusted, when grasping slightly larger eggs, the eggs are easily squeezed and broken, and when grasping smaller eggs, the grasping is not stable enough, resulting in the eggs falling, which is not conducive to the popularization and use of automatic egg pickers.

[0022] In view of this, the present utility model provides an automatic egg picker with a sorting mechanism, which uses an infrared monitor to detect the size of eggs, uses a first roller and a second roller to cooperate with the conveyor belt to convey the eggs into the interior of the housing, grabs the eggs by a grabbing device, and fixes the eggs at the bottom of the grabbing device by means of vacuum adsorption. This method can grab eggs of different sizes, and the grabbed eggs are relatively firm, without the situation of egg damage or dropping, which is conducive to the popularization and use of automatic egg pickers.

[0023] Embodiment 1: As can be seen from Figure 1 、 2 、3 and 4, an automatic egg picker with a sorting mechanism includes a rotating plate 1, a housing 4 is arranged on the top of the rotating plate 1, an infrared detector 5 is installed on the inner wall of the housing 4, a support frame 7 is installed at the bottom of the housing 4, a first roller 9 is arranged inside the support frame 7, a second roller 12 is rotatably connected inside the support frame 7, a second servo motor 11 is detachably connected to the outer wall of the support frame 7, and the output end of the second servo motor 11 is detachably connected to one side of the second roller 12. Conveyor belts 10 are installed on the outer walls of the first roller 9 and the second roller 12. The automatic egg picker with a sorting mechanism further includes: a grabbing device 2, installed at the bottom of the rotating plate 1; a rotating device 3, installed on the top of the rotating plate 1; a tensioning device 8, installed inside the support frame 7; wherein, the grabbing device 2 is convenient for grabbing the sorted eggs, the rotating device 3 can adjust the position of the grabbed eggs, and the tensioning device 8 can tension the loosened conveyor belt 10.

[0024] In the specific implementation process, it is particularly worth noting that the model of the second servo motor 11 is SM80-D601930. The model of the infrared detector 5 is not specifically restricted as long as it meets the usage requirements. The infrared detector 5 emits infrared rays outward. The infrared receiver inside the housing 4 will receive the infrared rays. Place the eggs on the top of the conveyor belt 10. When the second servo motor 11 works, it drives the second roller 12 to rotate. The second roller 12 cooperates with the first roller 9 to drive the conveyor belt 10 to rotate. The grasping device 2 facilitates grasping the eggs. The rotating device 3 adjusts the position of the grasped eggs. The tensioning device 8 can tension the loosened conveyor belt 10.

[0025] Furthermore, a blanking plate 6 is installed on the inner wall of the housing 4.

When the infrared detector 5 works, it is blocked by the eggs. It is detected that the current egg size is qualified and there is an interval between two eggs. The infrared detector 5 will irradiate on the infrared receiver. When the duration of the infrared rays received by the infrared receiver exceeds the set value, it means that the current egg is smaller and does not block the infrared rays. The external control panel controls the grasping device 2 to work. The grasping device 2 facilitates grasping the eggs. The rotating device 3 adjusts the position of the grasped eggs. The tensioning device 8 can tension the loosened conveyor belt 10.
