Detailed Implementation

[0022] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0024] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model discloses an egg tray output mechanism for a paisley machine, located below the egg tray storage section 2 of the paisley machine 1. It is used to receive egg trays falling horizontally. The output mechanism includes a pair of movable side plates 101 and a pair of conveyor belts 102. The pair of movable side plates 101 are distributed to the left and right and arranged longitudinally. The pair of conveyor belts 102 are also distributed to the left and right, respectively mounted on the pair of movable side plates 101. The pair of conveyor belts 102 are used to transport horizontally positioned egg trays from back to front. The pair of movable side plates 101 are driven by an adjustment component to move in opposite directions or backwards to adjust the distance between them. Since the conveyor belts are mounted on the movable side plates, adjusting the distance between the pair of movable side plates simultaneously adjusts the distance between the pair of conveyor belts, making it suitable for conveying egg trays of different sizes.

[0025] In this embodiment, the adjustment assembly includes an adjustment plate 103 located below a pair of movable side plates 101 and movable forward and backward. The adjustment plate 103 is horizontally arranged and has at least one pair of adjustment grooves 104. The adjustment grooves 104 are vertically continuous and arranged to the left and right in a V-shape with their openings facing backward. That is, both adjustment grooves are inclined to the left and right, and their inclination directions are opposite. Sliding elements are slidably connected to each of the pair of adjustment grooves 104, and the sliding elements are connected to the movable side plates 101 located on the same side. During operation, when the adjustment plate is manually pushed forward and backward, the sliding elements slide along the adjustment grooves, and the adjustment plate pushes the pair of movable side plates to move laterally (left and right) towards each other or away from each other through the pair of adjustment grooves and the sliding elements.

[0026] In this embodiment, a connecting plate 105 is horizontally provided on the inner side of a pair of movable side plates 103 (i.e., on the side adjacent to the pair of movable side plates). A vertical through hole 106 is provided on the connecting plate 105 corresponding to the position of each sliding member. The sliding member is a vertically arranged sliding rod 107. The sliding rod 107 passes through the adjusting groove 104 and the vertical through hole 106 vertically. The upper end of the sliding rod 107 is locked and fixed to the connecting plate by a locking nut. The lower end of the sliding rod 107 is screwed with a limit nut 108. The limit nut 108 is located below the adjusting plate 103.

[0027] In this embodiment, in order to improve the smoothness of the movement of a pair of movable side plates, there are two pairs of adjustment slides 104 (i.e., a total of four adjustment slides). The two pairs of adjustment slides 104 are distributed at intervals along the front and rear directions, and each adjustment slide has a sliding rod.

[0028] In this embodiment, to facilitate the forward and backward movement of the adjusting plate, a horizontal inverted L-shaped push-pull plate 109 is arranged parallel to the lower rear end of the adjusting plate 103. The front end of the push-pull plate 109 is locked and fixed to the adjusting plate 103 by connecting bolts 110, so that the push-pull plate and the adjusting plate are fixedly connected together. It should be noted that the egg tray output mechanism is installed on the pie tray machine, and the adjusting plate slides in cooperation with the longitudinal support groove on the pie tray machine to provide support and guidance for the forward and backward movement of the adjusting plate.

[0029] In this embodiment, a Z-shaped fixed base plate 111 is provided above the rear end of the push-pull plate 109. The fixed base plate 111 is located behind a pair of movable side plates 101. The push-pull plate 109 is provided with a longitudinal sliding groove 112. The lower end of the fixed base plate 111 is connected to the push-pull plate 109 via an adjusting locking bolt 113 that passes through the longitudinal sliding groove 112. During operation, after the adjusting plate is manually moved back and forth by the push-pull plate, the push-pull plate and the fixed base plate are locked and fixed by the locking bolt.

[0030] In this embodiment, the top surface of the push-pull plate 109 is provided with a scale line 114 extending longitudinally. By setting the scale line, it is helpful for people to observe the distance of pushing and pulling forward and backward.

[0031] In this embodiment, a transverse guide rod 115 is provided below the middle of a pair of movable side plates 101, and a movable sleeve 116 is fixed to the outer side of each pair of movable side plates 101. The movable sleeve 116 is slidably sleeved on the outer side of the transverse guide rod 115. By setting the transverse guide rod and the movable side plates slidingly engaging with the transverse guide rod through the movable sleeve, the transverse movement of the movable side plates is guided, thereby improving the stability of the movement.

[0032] In this embodiment, the conveyor belt 102 is a circular belt with a circular cross-section. During operation, the horizontal egg tray rests on a pair of conveyor belts, which are located in the grooves between two adjacent rows of egg slots at the bottom of the egg tray. The pair of conveyor belts support the egg tray and transport it.

[0033] In this embodiment, each movable side plate 101 has several longitudinally spaced transition pulleys 117 at its upper end to facilitate the conveyor belt's movement. A transversely arranged drive shaft 118 passes through the lower front end of a pair of conveyor belts 102. A pair of left-right distributed drive pulleys 119 are mounted on the drive shaft 118, and each pair of drive pulleys 119 is connected to a pair of conveyor belts 102. One end of the drive shaft 119 is connected to a drive motor via a belt drive component 120. During operation, the drive motor drives the drive shaft to rotate via the belt drive component, and the drive shaft drives the pair of conveyor belts to rotate synchronously via the pair of drive pulleys.

[0034] If this utility model discloses or relates to mutually fixedly connected parts or structural components, then, unless otherwise stated, a fixed connection can be understood as: a detachable fixed connection (e.g., using bolts or screws), or a non-detachable fixed connection (e.g., riveting, welding). Of course, mutually fixed connections can also be replaced by an integral structure (e.g., manufactured using a casting process) (except where it is obviously impossible to use an integral forming process).

[0035] In addition, unless otherwise stated, the terms used to indicate positional relationships or shapes in any of the technical solutions disclosed in this utility model above include states or shapes that are similar to, close to, or approximate with them.

[0036] Any component provided by this utility model can be assembled from multiple individual components, or it can be a single component manufactured by a one-piece molding process.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the specific implementation of this utility model or equivalent substitutions can be made to some technical features without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the technical solution claimed by this utility model.
