Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of egg collection, in particular to a circulating egg collection unit. Background Art

[0002] Chicken farms generally use large quantities of chicken cages to raise chickens. Since the chicken cages have multiple layers and a large number of chicken cages are installed on each layer, it is inconvenient for workers to collect eggs when collecting eggs. Therefore, a circulating egg collection unit is needed to improve the efficiency of collecting eggs.

[0003] When existing collection equipment collects eggs, since the egg collection table usually has a slope, the gravitational potential energy of the eggs is large when they roll down the slope to the flat surface at the end of the egg collection table, causing the eggs to roll at a relatively fast speed, which makes it easy for the eggs to break after colliding with each other. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the existing defects and provide a circulating egg collection unit. By setting a blocking rod to block the eggs, the gravitational potential energy of the eggs is reduced, which can effectively solve the problems in the background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a circulating egg collection unit, comprising a collection platform, a rotating rod rotatably arranged in the collection platform, a plurality of blocking rods fixedly arranged on the rotating rod along its length direction, a plurality of through slots provided on the collection platform, the plurality of through slots corresponding one to one with the plurality of blocking rods, a rotating shaft rotatably arranged on one side of the collection platform, a first torsion spring provided at the rotation point of the rotating shaft and the collection platform, a first gear fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft, the rotating rod extends to the outside of the collection platform and a second gear fixedly sleeved, the second gear meshes with the first gear, a toggle rod fixedly arranged on the rotating shaft, a transmission mechanism for transmitting eggs provided on one side of the collection platform, the transmission mechanism drives the toggle rod to rotate around the rotating shaft.

[0006] Furthermore, the transmission mechanism includes two support plates arranged at intervals, a plurality of supporting frames are arranged between the two support plates, and the plurality of supporting frames are evenly spaced. A driving assembly for driving the plurality of supporting frames to rotate in a circular motion is provided on the two support plates. During the circular rotation, the plurality of supporting frames slide and cooperate with the toggle rod in turn, thereby driving the toggle rod to rotate.

[0007] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes two chains arranged at intervals, and two sprockets arranged at intervals above and below are rotatably arranged on opposite sides of the two support plates. The two chains are respectively sleeved on corresponding sprockets, and the opposite sides of the two chains are respectively connected to the supporting frame. A motor is fixedly installed on the support plate, and the output end of the motor is coaxially fixedly connected to the sprocket.

[0008] Furthermore, the two sides of the supporting frame are respectively connected to the corresponding chains for rotation, and a second torsion spring is provided at the rotation point of the supporting frame and the chain, and the torsion of the second torsion spring is greater than the torsion of the first torsion spring. A fixed plate is fixed between the two support plates, and the fixed plate slides with the supporting frame, thereby driving the supporting frame to flip the eggs onto the collection table.

[0009] Furthermore, baffles are fixedly provided on both sides of the top and the tail of the collecting platform.

[0010] Furthermore, one end of the blocking rod away from the rotating rod is arc-shaped.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0012] Because the rotating rod extends outside the collection platform and is fixedly sleeved with a second gear that meshes with the first gear, and a toggle lever is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft, the transmission mechanism drives the toggle lever to rotate about the rotating shaft. Therefore, after the external multi-layer conveyor belt transports the eggs to their corresponding carrier frames, the drive assembly is activated to drive the carrier frames in a circular rotation. As the carrier frames move downward, they slide against the inclined surfaces of the fixed plates, causing the carrier frames to flip and flip the eggs onto the top surface of the collection platform. The eggs then roll down the inclined surface of the collection platform, where they are stopped by the blocking rods, causing them to rest on the blocking rods. When the carrier frames return to a horizontal position and continue to move downward, they contact the toggle levers, driving them to rotate. After transmission by the first and second gears, the rotating rods simultaneously drive the multiple blocking rods to rotate and enter their corresponding through-grooves. At this point, the eggs roll along the inclined surface of the collection platform onto the flat surface of the platform, effectively reducing the egg's gravitational potential energy and preventing them from rolling too fast and potentially breaking after collision.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] See also Figures 1-6 The present invention provides a technical solution: a circulating egg collection unit comprising a collection platform 1, which includes a sloped portion and a flat portion. Baffles 5 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the top and rear of the collection platform 1 to prevent eggs from falling to the ground. A sponge layer is bonded to the inner side of the baffles 5 to cushion the eggs and prevent them from colliding and breaking.

[0022] A rotating rod 10 is rotatably provided in the sloped portion of the collecting table 1, and a plurality of blocking rods 2 are fixedly provided along the length direction of the rotating rod 10. The plurality of blocking rods 2 are arranged equidistantly, and the distance between two adjacent blocking rods 2 is smaller than the diameter of the egg, thereby preventing the egg from falling between two adjacent blocking rods 2, and guiding the eggs at the same time to prevent the eggs from colliding with each other during the rolling process.

[0023] The end of the blocking rod 2 away from the rotating rod 10 is arc-shaped, which is convenient for intercepting the egg and preventing the egg from rolling too fast and rolling off the blocking rod 2. The top surface of the blocking rod 2 is bonded with a sponge layer to cushion the egg and effectively slow down the rolling speed of the egg.

[0024] The sloped portion of the collecting platform 1 is provided with a plurality of through grooves 3, which correspond one-to-one to the plurality of blocking rods 2, so that when the blocking rods 2 enter the through grooves 3, the eggs can roll along the top surface of the sloped portion of the collecting platform 1 to the top surface of the flat portion.

[0025] A rotating shaft 11 is rotatably provided on both sides of the collection platform 1. A first torsion spring 14 is provided at the rotation point between the rotating shaft 11 and the collection platform 1. A first gear 12 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 11. The first torsion spring 14 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 11, and one end of the first torsion spring 14 is fixedly connected to the collection platform 1, and the other end is fixedly connected to the first gear 12.

[0026] The ends of the rotating rod 10 extend to the outside of the collecting platform 1, and the second gear 15 is fixedly mounted on both ends of the rotating rod 10, and the second gear 15 meshes with the first gear 12. The end of the rotating shaft 11 away from the collecting platform 1 is fixedly provided with a toggle lever 13, which is perpendicular to the rotating shaft 11.

[0027] A conveyor mechanism for transporting eggs is located on one side of the collection platform 1. This mechanism drives a toggle lever 13 to rotate about a rotation axis 11. The conveyor mechanism includes two spaced support plates 4, with multiple carrier frames 6 positioned between the two support plates 4. The carrier frames 6 are evenly spaced and are equipped with a drive assembly that drives the multiple carrier frames 6 in a circular motion.

[0028] The drive assembly includes two spaced chains 8. Two sprockets 9, spaced apart and arranged vertically, are rotatably mounted on opposing sides of the two support plates 4. The two chains 8 are respectively sleeved on corresponding sprockets 9, and the opposing sides of the two chains 8 are respectively connected to the support frame 6. A motor 7 is fixedly mounted on one side of the support plate 4, and the output end of the motor 7 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the corresponding sprocket 9.

[0029] During the cyclic rotation of the multiple carrier frames 6, they sequentially slide with the toggle lever 13, thereby driving the toggle lever 13 to rotate. The rotation of the toggle lever 13 drives the multiple blocking rods 2 into their corresponding through-slots 3. When the toggle lever 13 loses contact with the carrier frame 6, it returns to its original position under the restoring force of the first torsion spring 14, thereby driving the blocking rods 2 to maintain an angle of not less than 150 degrees with the top surface of the sloped portion of the collection platform 1, thereby facilitating the blocking of the eggs and reducing their gravitational potential energy.

[0030] like Figure 6 As shown, the carrier frame 6 includes a frame 61, with connecting plates 63 fixedly mounted at both ends of the frame 61. A guide rod 62 is fixedly mounted between the two connecting plates 63 to facilitate the eggs falling from the external conveyor belt onto the frame 61. A connecting shaft 64 and a moving rod 65 are fixedly mounted on one side of the connecting plate 63. The connecting shaft 64 is located in the middle of the connecting plate 63. As the moving rod 65 moves downward, it drives the toggle rod 13 to rotate.

[0031] The two sides of the support frame 6 are rotatably connected to the corresponding chains 8 via connecting shafts 64. A second torsion spring 16 is installed at the point where the support frame 6 and chain 8 intersect. The torsion force of the second torsion spring 16 is greater than that of the first torsion spring 14. This prevents the toggle lever 13 from driving the movable rod 65 upward when the movable rod 65 moves downward. The second torsion spring 16 is mounted on the corresponding connecting shaft 64. One end of the second torsion spring 16 is fixedly connected to the corresponding connecting plate 63, and the other end is fixedly connected to the corresponding chain 8.

[0032] A fixing plate 17 is fixed between the two support plates 4. One side of the fixing plate 17 is provided with an inclined surface. As the support frame 6 moves downward, the inclined surface of the fixing plate 17 slides with the connecting plate 63 of the support frame 6, thereby driving the support frame 6 to flip the eggs onto the top surface of the inclined portion of the collection platform 1, causing the eggs to roll downward onto the blocking rod 2.

[0033] The working principle of the circulating egg collection unit provided by the utility model is as follows:

[0034] During use, the motor 7 is started, which drives the corresponding sprocket 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the corresponding chain 8 to rotate clockwise, and the chain 8 drives the multiple carrier frames 6 to rotate clockwise in a circular manner. The external multi-layer conveyor belt transports the eggs to the frames 61 of the corresponding carrier frames 6. Then, as the carrier frames 6 move downward, the connecting plate 63 first slides with the inclined surface of the fixed plate 17, thereby driving the carrier frames 6 to flip to the right and flip the eggs onto the top surface of the collection platform 1. The eggs then roll down the inclined surface of the collection platform 1 and onto the blocking rod 2. The blocking rod 2 blocks the eggs, causing them to remain on the surface of the blocking rod 2.

[0035] As the carrier frame 6 flips, the second torsion spring 16 deforms. When the connecting plate 63 of the carrier frame 6 disengages from the fixed plate 17, the carrier frame 6 returns to its horizontal position under the restoring force of the second torsion spring 16. As the carrier frame 6 continues to move downward, the moving rod 65 of the carrier frame 6 contacts the toggle rod 13 and drives the toggle rod 13 to rotate. The toggle rod 13 drives the rotating shaft 11 to rotate, which drives the first gear 12 to rotate. The first gear 12 drives the second gear 15 to rotate, and the second gear 15 drives the rotating rod 10 to rotate. The rotating rod 10 simultaneously drives the multiple blocking rods 2 to rotate. When the blocking rods 2 rotate and enter the corresponding through-slots 3, the eggs roll along the inclined surface of the collection platform 1 onto the flat surface of the collection platform 1. This process effectively reduces the gravitational potential energy of the eggs, preventing them from rolling too fast and causing them to break after collision.

[0036] The staff then picks the eggs into egg trays for easy placement and transportation.

[0037] The rotation shaft 11 rotates while deforming the first torsion spring 14 , so that when the toggle rod 13 is out of contact with the moving rod 65 of the carrier frame 6 , the toggle rod 13 and the blocking rod 2 return to their initial states under the action of the restoring force of the first torsion spring 14 .

[0038] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
