DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0063] Hereinafter, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the described embodiments may be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Therefore, the drawings and description are to be regarded as illustrative in nature and not restrictive.

[0064] See also Figures 1-8 , shows a poultry egg transport device in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, comprising:

[0065] The frame 1 has an egg drop opening at the bottom thereof, which is used to communicate with the packaging device 7;

[0066] At least two groups of upper receiving modules 2 are provided on the frame 1 and located above the egg drop port, and each group of upper receiving modules 2 is used to receive eggs output by a corresponding distribution and conveying device 6;

[0067] At least two groups of lower receiving modules 3, the lower receiving modules 3 being located between the upper receiving modules 2 and the egg drop opening, and the lower receiving modules 3 being configured to be movably disposed on the frame 1 between a corresponding group of upper receiving modules 2 and the egg drop opening, the lower receiving modules 3 being used to receive eggs output from the upper receiving modules 2 and to output the eggs to the egg drop opening; and

[0068] At least two groups of first driving modules 4 are provided on the frame 1 . The first driving modules 4 are connected to a corresponding group of lower supporting modules 3 . The first driving modules 4 are used to drive the corresponding group of lower supporting modules 3 to move.

[0069] The poultry egg transfer device of the present invention comprises a frame 1, at least two groups of upper receiving modules 2, at least two groups of lower receiving modules 3 and at least two groups of first drive modules 4, wherein the frame 1 has an egg drop port that can be communicated with the packaging device 7, each group of upper receiving modules 2 can receive the poultry eggs output by a corresponding distribution and conveying device 6, so that the poultry eggs output by each distribution and conveying device 6 can be output to a corresponding group of upper receiving modules 2, and the lower receiving modules 3 are configured to be movably arranged on the frame 1 between a corresponding group of upper receiving modules 2 and the egg drop port, that is, the lower receiving modules 3 can move between a corresponding group of upper receiving modules 2 and the egg drop port, the lower receiving modules 3 can receive the poultry eggs output from the upper receiving modules 2 and can output the poultry eggs to the egg drop port, and the first drive module 4 can drive a corresponding group of lower receiving modules 3 to move, so that each group of lower receiving modules 3 can move to the top of the same egg drop opening after receiving the eggs dropped from the corresponding upper receiving module 2, and output the eggs to the same packaging device 7 through the egg drop opening. In particular, since at least two groups of upper receiving modules 2 are respectively connected to the egg drop end of a corresponding distribution and conveying device 6, the egg drop opening is connected to one packaging device 7, and the eggs output by at least two distribution and conveying devices 6 can be simultaneously gathered from top to bottom in the same packaging device 7 for packaging processing. Compared with the prior art in which each distribution and conveying device 6 corresponds to one packaging device 7, the overall volume of the egg sorting and packaging equipment can be effectively reduced, thereby reducing the occupied space of the egg sorting and packaging equipment and making it more convenient to install.

[0070] See also Figure 1In one embodiment, the number of the upper receiving modules 2, the lower receiving modules 3 and the first driving modules 4 are two groups, the two groups of upper receiving modules 2 are arranged in sequence along the first direction of the frame 1, and the egg drop port is located in the middle of the two groups of upper receiving modules 2, and the two groups of lower receiving modules 3 are also arranged in sequence along the first direction. In this way, the poultry egg transfer device can be used to connect two distribution and conveying devices 6 and a packaging device 7, so as to realize the transportation of poultry eggs from top to bottom to the packaging device 7 for packaging.

[0071] See also Figure 2-Figure 5 In one embodiment, the upper receiving module 2 includes:

[0072] The upper receiving claws 21 have a first closed state capable of receiving eggs output from the distribution and conveying device 6 and a first open state for allowing the eggs to fall to the corresponding lower receiving module 3, so that the upper receiving claws 21 can support the eggs and release the eggs, thereby outputting the eggs from top to bottom to the lower receiving module 3;

[0073] The second driving module 22 is provided on the frame 1 , and the output end of the second driving module 22 is connected to the upper receiving claw 21 . The second driving module 22 is used to drive the upper receiving claw 21 to switch between the first closed state and the first open state. In this way, before the distribution and conveying device 6 outputs the poultry eggs, the upper receiving claw 21 is maintained in the first closed state by the second driving module 22, so that the upper receiving claw 21 can receive the poultry eggs. Then, when the lower receiving module 3 moves to directly below the upper receiving module 2, the second driving module 22 drives the upper receiving claw 21 to switch from the first closed state to the first open state, so that the poultry eggs can fall to the lower receiving module 3. Then, the lower receiving module 3 is driven by the first driving module 4 to move to directly above the egg dropping port. Finally, the lower receiving module 3 is released to realize the output of the poultry eggs to the packaging device 7. The upper receiving module 2 can use the second driving module 22 to reliably maintain the first closed state, thereby reliably supporting the poultry eggs and preventing the poultry eggs from falling at will. At the same time, the second driving module 22 can also be used to drive the upper receiving claw 21 to quickly switch between the first closed state and the first open state. The response speed is fast, which is conducive to improving the transportation efficiency of the poultry eggs.

[0074] See also Figure 3 In one embodiment, the upper receiving module 2 further includes:

[0075] The upper support frame 23 is arranged on the frame 1, and the second drive module 22 is arranged on the upper support frame 23, so that the upper support frame 23 can support the second drive module 22 and the upper receiving claw 21, so that the upper receiving module 2 forms a modular structure, which is more convenient for the installation and maintenance of the upper receiving module 2.

[0076] See also Figure 3-Figure 5In one embodiment, the second driving module 22 includes:

[0077] The second driver 221 is provided on the upper support frame 23;

[0078] A first support shaft 222 is rotatably mounted on the upper support frame 23. A first end of the first support shaft 222 is connected to an output end of the second driver 221. The first support shaft 222 can rotate along with the output end of the second driver 221.

[0079] A second support shaft 223 is rotatably mounted on the upper support frame 23 and is parallel to the first support shaft 222 ;

[0080] a first transmission mechanism 224, wherein an input end of the first transmission mechanism 224 is connected to the second end of the first support shaft 222, and an output end of the first transmission mechanism 224 is connected to the second end of the second support shaft 223, the second end of the second support shaft 223 and the second end of the first support shaft 222 being located on the same side of the upper support frame 23, and the first transmission mechanism 224 is used to drive the second support shaft 223 to rotate in a direction opposite to the rotation direction of the first support shaft 222;

[0081] The upper receiving claw 21 includes:

[0082] A first upper receiving body 211 is provided on the first supporting shaft 222 and can rotate along with the first supporting shaft 222;

[0083] The second upper receiving body 212 is arranged on the second support shaft 223, and the second upper receiving body 212 can rotate with the second support shaft 223. In this way, when the upper receiving claw 21 is switched from the first closed state to the first open state, the second driver 221 is started and the output end of the second driver 221 is rotated in the forward direction, driving the first support shaft 222 to rotate in the forward direction, so that the first upper receiving body 211 can be driven to rotate in the forward direction. At the same time, the second support shaft 223 is driven to rotate in the reverse direction through the first transmission mechanism 224, so that the second upper receiving body 212 can be driven to rotate in the reverse direction. The lower ends of the first upper receiving body 211 and the second upper receiving body 212 are moved away from each other, thereby realizing the opening of the upper receiving claw 21. When the claw 21 switches from the first open state to the first closed state, the second driver 221 is started and the output end of the second driver 221 rotates in the opposite direction, driving the first support shaft 222 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the first upper supporting body 211 can be driven to rotate in the opposite direction. At the same time, the second support shaft 223 is driven to rotate forwardly through the first transmission mechanism 224, so that the second upper supporting body 212 can be driven to rotate forwardly. The lower ends of the first upper supporting body 211 and the second upper supporting body 212 are close to each other, thereby achieving the closing of the upper supporting claw 21. The structure is simple, practical and reliable.

[0084] See also Figure 4 In one embodiment, the first transmission mechanism 224 includes:

[0085] A first connecting seat 2241 is provided on the second end of the first supporting shaft 222;

[0087] The first connecting rod 2243 has a first end rotatably connected to the first connecting seat 2241 , and a second end rotatably connected to the second connecting seat 2242 . In this way, when the first support shaft 222 rotates, the first connecting seat 2241 also rotates with the first support shaft 222, and the first connecting seat 2241 rotates to drive the first connecting rod 2243 to swing, thereby driving the second connecting seat 2242 to rotate, and the second connecting seat 2242 rotates to drive the second support shaft 223 to rotate in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the first support shaft 222. This first transmission mechanism 224 is simple and practical, with high synchronization, which can improve the synchronization between the first support shaft 222 and the second support shaft 223, so that the upper receiving claw 21 can be stably closed and opened. At the same time, this first transmission mechanism 224 has a compact structure and can be arranged on the side of the upper support frame 23 without occupying too much other space, thereby making the overall structure of the upper receiving module 2 more compact and reducing the occupied space. In addition, this first transmission mechanism 224 has low cost, which is conducive to reducing the cost of the poultry and egg transporting device and is more conducive to the promotion and application of the poultry and egg transporting device.

[0088] See also Figure 3 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the second driver 221, the first support shaft 222, and the second support shaft 223 are arranged side by side along an axial direction perpendicular to the first support shaft 222;

[0089] The second driving module 22 further includes:

[0090] The second transmission mechanism 225 has an input end connected to the output end of the second driver 221, and the output end of the second transmission mechanism 225 is connected to the first end of the first support shaft 222. Since the second driver 221, the first support shaft 222, and the second support shaft 223 are arranged side by side in an axial direction perpendicular to the first support shaft 222, the space utilization of the upper support frame 23 in the axial direction perpendicular to the first support shaft 222 can be improved, so that the second driver 221 does not occupy the space outside the upper support frame 23, making the overall structure of the upper receiving module 2 more compact, which is more conducive to the miniaturization of the egg transport device.

[0091] See also Figure 5 In one embodiment, the second transmission mechanism 225 includes:

[0092] A third connecting socket 2251 is provided on the output end of the second driver 221;

[0093] The fourth connecting seat 2252 is provided on the first end of the first supporting shaft 222;

[0094] The second connecting rod 2253 has a first end rotatably connected to the third connecting seat 2251 , and a second end rotatably connected to the fourth connecting seat 2252 . In this way, when the first support shaft 222 rotates, the third connecting seat 2251 is driven to rotate, and the third connecting seat 2251 rotates to drive the second connecting rod 2253 to swing, so as to drive the fourth connecting seat 2252 to rotate, and the fourth connecting seat 2252 rotates to drive the second support shaft 223 to rotate in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the first support shaft 222. This second transmission mechanism 225 is simple and practical, with high synchronization, and can improve the synchronization between the first support shaft 222 and the second support shaft 223, so that the upper receiving claw 21 can be stably closed and opened. At the same time, this second transmission mechanism 225 has a compact structure and can be arranged on the side of the upper support frame 23 without occupying too much other space, thereby making the overall structure of the upper receiving module 2 more compact and reducing the occupied space. In addition, this second transmission mechanism 225 has low cost, which is conducive to reducing the cost of the poultry and egg transporting device, and is more conducive to the promotion and application of the poultry and egg transporting device.

The third drive module 33 is used to drive the lower receiving claw 32 to switch between the second closed state and the second open state. Since the third drive module 33 is disposed on the lower support frame 31, the lower support frame 31 can be used to support the third drive module 33 and the lower receiving claw 32, thereby forming a modular structure of the lower receiving module 3, which is more convenient for installation and maintenance of the lower receiving module 3. In addition, the third drive module 33 can be used to drive the lower receiving claw 32 to switch between the second closed state and the second open state, and can be used to reliably maintain the lower receiving claw 32 in the second closed state, thereby reliably supporting the eggs and preventing them from falling.

In this way, when the lower receiving claw 32 is in the second closed state, the locking arm 335 is reliably maintained in the locked state under the action of the first elastic member 336, so that the lower receiving claw 32 is reliably maintained in the second closed state. When the lower receiving module 3 moves to the position just above the egg drop opening, the toggle member 5 abuts against the locking arm 335, driving the locking arm 335 to rotate and switch the locking arm 335 from the locked state to the unlocked state. At this time, the third support shaft 331 rotates under the action of the gravity of the poultry egg and the first connecting arm 333. At the same time, the fourth support shaft 332 rotates under the action of the gravity of the poultry egg, the second connecting arm 334 and the first guide portion 3331. Under the action of the force generated by cooperation with the second guide part 3332, it rotates in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the third support shaft 331, so that the lower ends of the first lower receiving body 321 and the second lower receiving body 322 move away from each other, thereby opening the lower receiving claw 32 to release the eggs. Among them, since the third driving module 33 is a purely mechanical driving structure with low cost, it can reduce the cost of the egg transfer device. At the same time, the structure of this third driving module 33 is more compact, which can reduce the space occupied by the lower support frame 31, thereby making the overall structure of the lower receiving module 3 more compact, and facilitating the installation of the lower receiving module 3 between the upper receiving module 2 and the egg drop port.

[0109] See also Figure 2 In one embodiment, the toggle member 5 is a bearing to reduce friction between the toggle member 5 and the locking arm 335 , thereby reducing wear on both the toggle member 5 and the locking arm 335 .

[0110] Of course, in other embodiments, the toggle member 5 may also be a toggle block.

[0111] See also Figure 6 In one embodiment, the lower receiving module 3 further includes:

[0112] The second elastic member 337 is provided between the lower support frame 31 and the third support shaft 331. The second elastic member 337 is used to provide a driving force for the third support shaft 331 to drive the first lower support body 321 to rotate in a direction away from the second lower support body 322;

[0113] The third elastic member 338 is disposed between the lower support frame 31 and the fourth support shaft 332. The third elastic member 338 is used to provide a driving force to the fourth support shaft 332 to drive the second lower receiving body 322 to rotate in a direction away from the first lower receiving body 321. The second elastic member 337 and the third elastic member 338 can provide an additional force to the lower receiving claw 32 to open, effectively avoiding the problem of the lower receiving claw 32 not being able to open due to a small number of eggs on the lower receiving claw 32, and ensuring that the lower receiving claw 32 can be reliably opened.

[0114] To facilitate installation, in one embodiment, the first elastic member 336 is a torsion spring, and the second elastic member 337 and the third elastic member 338 are tension springs.

[0115] In one embodiment, the third driving module 33 may be configured to have the same structure as the second driving module 22 .

[0116] See also Figure 8 In one embodiment, the first connecting arm 333 is provided with a locking block 339, the locking block 339 is provided with a locking protrusion, and the locking arm 335 has a locking groove, which is adapted to the locking protrusion so that the locking arm 335 can reliably maintain a locked state.

[0117] See also Figure 8 In one embodiment, the first guide portion 3331 includes a guide hole, and the second guide portion 3332 includes a first guide column, which is slidably inserted into the guide hole.

[0118] See also Figure 2 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, the frame 1 is provided with a guide member 11, which extends along the moving direction of the lower receiving module 3. The lower support frame 31 is provided with a moving member 34, which can slide with the guide member 11 to guide the movement of the lower receiving module 3, so that the lower receiving module 3 moves more smoothly and stably.

[0119] See also Figure 2 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, the guide member 11 is a second guide column, and the movable member 34 is a movable sleeve. The movable sleeve can be slidably mounted on the outer wall of the second guide column. The structure is simple and practical, and the cost is low, which is conducive to reducing the cost of the poultry egg transport device. At the same time, it is convenient to assemble and can improve the installation efficiency of the lower receiving module 3.

[0120] Of course, in other embodiments, the guide member 11 may be a guide rail, and the movable member 34 may be a slider, which can also achieve the function of guiding the movement of the lower receiving module 3 .

[0121] See also Figure 1 In one embodiment, the first driving module 4 includes:

[0122] A first driver 41 is provided on the frame 1;

[0123] The driving wheel 42 is provided on the output end of the first driver 41 and can rotate along with the output end of the first driver 41;

[0124] A driven wheel 43 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1; and

[0125] The transmission belt 44 is disposed between a portion of the outer peripheral wall of the driving wheel 42 and a portion of the outer peripheral wall of the driven wheel 43. The transmission belt 44 can rotate with the driving wheel 42, thereby driving the driven wheel 43 to rotate. The transmission belt 44 is connected to the lower support frame 31. In this way, when the first driver 41 is activated, the output end of the first driver 41 rotates, driving the driving wheel 42 to rotate. The driving wheel 42 rotates, driving the transmission belt 44 to rotate, thereby driving the driven wheel 43 to rotate. At the same time, the transmission belt 44 rotates, driving the lower receiving module 3 to reciprocate. This first driving module 4 has a simple and practical structure, low cost, and compact structure, taking up little space. It can be installed on the side of the frame 1, thereby making the overall structure of the poultry egg transporter more compact. In addition, this first driving module 4 operates more smoothly and quietly.

[0126] Of course, in other embodiments, the first driving module 4 may also include a first driver 41 and a chain transmission mechanism, and the chain transmission mechanism connects the output end of the first driver 41 and the lower support frame 31, which can also drive the lower receiving module 3 to move.

[0127] Of course, in other embodiments, the first driving module 4 may also include a first driver 41 and a lead screw, and the lead screw connects the output end of the first driver 41 and the lower support frame 31, which can also drive the lower receiving module 3 to move.
