Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of egg sorting, in particular to an egg sorting device. Background Art

[0002] Eggs are a nutritious food, containing high-quality protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals. They are a common ingredient in many dishes and baked goods, making them a popular food. However, eggs come in different sizes, resulting in different prices. Therefore, it is important to sort and categorize eggs by size before selling them.

[0003] The prior art announcement number is CN209135121U, which is an egg sorting device. It includes an inverted trapezoidal water trough with brine provided in it. The inverted trapezoidal water trough includes a feed end and a discharge end. The discharge end includes a first discharge end and a second discharge end. The first discharge end is a vertical feeding mechanism, and the second discharge end consists of an inclined feeding section and a horizontal feeding section. The inclined feeding section and the horizontal feeding section are respectively arrayed with a first strip claw and a second strip claw. The first strip claw and the second strip claw are composed of a plurality of parallel strip claws. The gap between the strip claws is smaller than the diameter of the egg, and the first strip claw and the second strip claw are staggered. By sorting with 5% salt water, spoiled eggs are more likely to float on the water surface, while fresh eggs sink to the bottom of the water tank. The vertical loading mechanism can send spoiled eggs to the unloading conveyor for transportation, while fresh eggs are concentrated at the bottom of the water tank and conveyed to the next process through the inclined loading section and the horizontal loading section. The above-mentioned egg sorting device is relatively large in size, which makes it more troublesome to sort it and has poor practicality. At the same time, during the sorting process, the eggs are easily piled up due to being concentrated together, which affects the sorting effect. Therefore, it is necessary to provide an egg sorting device to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0045] Working principle:

[0046] As the turntable 6 drives the push plate 61 to rotate and cooperates with the quantitative mechanism 2 to transport the eggs one by one, the eggs are transported one by one to different receiving slots 62. Under the pushing action of the push plate 61, the eggs are pushed to the sorting channels 51 of different calibers to realize the egg sorting work. Among them, the output end of the feeding pipe 3 is located at the right end of the sorting cylinder 5. The calibers of the several sorting channels 51 start from the right end of the sorting cylinder 5 and continuously increase along the rotation direction of the turntable 6, so that the eggs can pass over the sorting channels 51 with increasing calibers in turn, until the eggs move to the sorting channels 51 with a caliber larger than the egg size, and then they will slide along the sorting channels 51. The sorted eggs are transported along the sorting channels 51 to different guide slots 812 on the guide plate 81, and then transported along the different guide slots 812 to different collection slots 821 on the drawer 82, so as to realize the collection of eggs of different sizes. The sorted eggs can be taken out by pulling out the drawer 82.
