Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of egg tray separation technology, and specifically relates to an egg tray separation device. Background Technology

[0002] Egg trays are used for transporting eggs during processing, resulting in dirt and grime that needs to be cleaned after processing. Small-scale production enterprises rely on manual labor for egg tray cleaning, which is inefficient. Larger-scale enterprises, on the other hand, are equipped with egg tray cleaning equipment. This equipment uses water tanks, and a conveyor chain moves the egg trays through the tanks, immersing them in water for cleaning. However, the egg trays are stacked before cleaning and need to be separated.

[0003] Utility model patent CN221438574U discloses an egg tray separation device, including a frame. Two limiting plates are spaced apart on the frame, and a clamping device is located below each limiting plate. A fixing plate is located below the two limiting plates on the frame, and a separation device is mounted on the fixing plate in a lifting manner. A conveyor platform is located on one side of the frame, and a pusher plate is movably arranged on the other side. A placement plate is located below the two limiting plates on the frame, extending from the pusher plate to the conveyor platform. Its advantages are: the entire process is completed automatically, the placement direction of the egg trays is determined, preventing incorrect placement of egg trays, reducing manual labor, and improving work efficiency.

[0004] However, the driving device of the clamping device in the above-mentioned utility model is a cylinder. The cylinder has low splitting efficiency, which cannot meet the splitting requirements. In addition, the control accuracy is relatively limited and the stability is poor. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an egg tray separation device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] An egg tray separation device includes a base with an egg tray compartment mounted on it. The egg tray compartment has an egg tray inlet at the top and an egg tray outlet at the bottom. An upper clamping assembly and a lower clamping assembly are located on both sides of the egg tray outlet on the base. The upper and lower clamping assemblies are connected to a guide mechanism. The upper clamping assembly is positioned above the lower clamping assembly, and the upper and lower clamping assemblies on both sides of the egg tray outlet are respectively arranged opposite to each other. A motor is fixedly mounted on the base, and two rotating shafts are rotatably mounted on the base. The motor and the two rotating shafts are connected via a transmission mechanism. A turntable is fixedly mounted on each of the two rotating shafts. The turntable has a first sliding groove and a second sliding groove. A first connecting rod is slidably connected to the first sliding groove, and a second connecting rod is slidably connected to the second sliding groove. The first and second connecting rods are respectively connected to the upper and lower clamping assemblies. Both the first and second sliding grooves have a clamping section and a moving section, and the moving sections of the first and second sliding grooves are staggered.

[0008] As a further improvement, both the first and second sliding grooves are closed-loop shapes, the clamping section is an arc centered on the center of the turntable, the angle of the clamping section is greater than or equal to 180°, the moving section is a smooth sliding groove connecting the two ends of the clamping section, and the distance between the moving section and the center is less than the distance between the clamping section and the center.

[0009] As a further improvement, the rotating shaft passes through the first sliding groove and the second sliding groove, the moving segment is a symmetrical broken line shape, and the distance from the two ends of the moving segment to the midpoint of the moving segment and the center of the clamping segment becomes smaller and smaller.

[0010] As a further improvement, the transmission mechanism includes a first pulley mounted on the output end of the motor, and a second pulley that cooperates with the first pulley is mounted on each of the two rotating shafts. The first pulley and the two second pulleys are connected by a belt.

[0011] As a further improvement, the guiding mechanism includes a first slide rail and a second slide rail, which are fixedly connected to the base and slidably connected to the upper clamping assembly and the lower clamping assembly, respectively.

[0012] As a further improvement, the top of the output end of the upper clamping assembly is provided with an inclined surface, and a number of clamping pins are fixedly installed on the end face of the output end of the upper clamping assembly.

[0013] As a further improvement, a conveying mechanism is provided below the egg tray outlet.

[0014] As a further improvement, a housing is mounted on the base, the housing is fixedly connected to the egg tray, and the top of the housing is located above the motor.

[0015] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] The egg tray separation device provided by this utility model uses a motor and belt to drive a rotating shaft to rotate. The rotating shaft drives a turntable, a first connecting rod, and a second connecting rod to cause the upper and lower clamping components to perform egg tray separation actions, separating the stacked egg trays. The separated egg trays fall onto a conveying mechanism located below the egg tray separation device. The separation process is more stable, and the separation speed can be adjusted by adjusting the motor speed, resulting in higher separation efficiency, higher control precision, and simple and convenient operation.

[0028] like Figure 1-8 As shown, an egg tray separation device includes a base 6, an egg tray compartment 1 is installed on the base 6, an egg tray inlet 7 is provided at the top of the egg tray compartment 1, and an egg tray outlet 10 is provided at the bottom of the egg tray compartment 1.

[0029] The base 6 is provided with an upper clamping component 17 and a lower clamping component 18 on both sides of the egg tray outlet 10. The upper clamping component 17 and the lower clamping component 18 are connected to a guide mechanism, which plays a limiting role, so that the upper clamping component 17 and the lower clamping component 18 can only slide along the guide mechanism. The upper clamping component 17 is located above the lower clamping component 18. The upper clamping component 17 and the lower clamping component 18 on both sides of the egg tray outlet 10 are respectively arranged opposite to each other.

[0030] A motor 2 is fixedly installed on the base 6, and two rotating shafts 9 are rotatably mounted on the base 6. The motor 2 is connected to the two rotating shafts 9 through a transmission mechanism 4.

[0031] Two rotating shafts 9 are respectively fixedly mounted with turntables 12. There can be one or more turntables 12. Each turntable 12 is provided with a first sliding groove 23 and a second sliding groove 24. A first connecting rod 22 is slidably connected to the first sliding groove 23, and a second connecting rod 21 is slidably connected to the second sliding groove 24. The connection ends of the first connecting rod 22 and the second connecting rod 21 with the first sliding groove 23 and the second sliding groove 24 are all provided with sliders that are slidably connected to the first sliding groove 23 and the second sliding groove 24. The movement directions of the first connecting rod 22 and the second connecting rod 21 are opposite. The first link 22 and the second link 21 are respectively connected to the upper clamping assembly 17 and the lower clamping assembly 18; both the first sliding groove and the second sliding groove are provided with a clamping section and a moving section. The moving section of the first sliding groove 23 and the moving section of the second sliding groove 24 are staggered. When the first link and the second link are in the clamping section, the upper clamping assembly 17 and the lower clamping assembly 18 are in the clamping state of the egg tray. When the first link and the second link are in the clamping moving section, the clamping assembly 17 and the lower clamping assembly 18 are in the non-clamping state of the egg tray.

[0032] This configuration allows the upper clamping component 17 and the lower clamping component to be in an alternating non-clamping state. In actual use, the position of the lower clamping component corresponds to the bottommost egg tray, and the position of the upper clamping component corresponds to the egg tray adjacent to the bottommost egg tray.

[0033] In this embodiment, each rotating shaft 9 is provided with three turntables 12. The turntables 12 on both sides are provided with a first sliding groove 23, and the turntable 12 in the middle is provided with a second sliding groove 24. The turntables 12 rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft 9. During the rotation of the turntables 12, the first connecting rod 22 or the second connecting rod 21 rotates from the clamping section to the moving section, and then from the moving section to the clamping section, so that the upper clamping component 17 or the lower clamping component 18 changes from the clamping state to the separation state and then changes back to the clamping state, and so on.

[0034] The first sliding groove 23 and the second sliding groove 24 are oriented in opposite directions and have the same shape. That is, the first sliding groove 23 and the second sliding groove 24 are symmetrically arranged about the axis of the turntable. The moving sections of the first sliding groove 23 and the second sliding groove 24 do not overlap. When the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are in the moving section, the upper clamping component 17 and the lower clamping component are in a non-clamping state. This arrangement ensures that the upper clamping component 17 or the lower clamping component 18 will not be in a non-clamping state at the same time, thus avoiding the phenomenon that the egg tray falls directly without being separated.

[0035] The lower clamping component clamps and then releases the bottommost egg tray, causing it to fall. Because the moving sections of the first sliding groove 23 and the second sliding groove 24 are staggered, when the lower clamping component releases, the upper clamping component is in a clamping state on the egg tray, and vice versa. In this embodiment, the clamping state of the upper and lower clamping components on the egg tray can be either clamping the egg tray tightly or supporting it, preventing it from falling freely.

[0036] Initially, stacked egg trays are placed in the egg tray compartment 1, with the first connecting rod 22 in the clamping section, the upper clamping assembly 17 in the clamping state, and the bottom egg tray held by the upper clamping assembly 17. The lower clamping assembly 18 is either in the clamping or non-clamping state, and the second connecting rod 21 is either in the clamping or non-clamping section. The motor 2 is activated, and the motor 2 drives the rotating shaft 9 and turntable 12 to rotate via the transmission mechanism 4. The first connecting rod 22 changes position following the rotation of the first sliding groove 23, sliding from the clamping section to the moving section, and the upper clamping assembly 17 becomes non-clamping. During the process, the second link 21 slides from the clamping section or the moving section to the clamping section, the lower clamping component 18 is in the clamping state, the bottom egg tray falls onto the lower clamping component 18, the motor 2 continues to run, the first link 22 slides from the moving section to the clamping section, the upper clamping component 17 changes to the clamping state, the second link 21 slides from the clamping section to the moving section, then the lower clamping component 18 changes to the non-clamping state, the bottom egg tray falls and separates, the second egg tray from bottom to top is clamped by the upper clamping component 17, at this time it returns to the initial state, and then the above actions are repeated to complete the separation of the egg trays.

[0037] Of course, in actual use, the initial state can also be that the lower clamping component is clamping the egg tray, which can also achieve the function of this technical solution.

[0038] Both the first sliding groove 23 and the second sliding groove 24 are closed-loop shapes. The clamping sections of the first sliding groove 23 and the second sliding groove 24 are arc-shaped with the center of the turntable 12 as the center. The angle of the clamping section is greater than or equal to 180°. When the first link or the second link is in the clamping section, it can maintain the clamping state of the egg tray. The moving section is a smooth sliding groove connecting the two ends of the clamping section. The distance between the moving section and the center is less than the distance between the clamping section and the center. The distance between the two ends of the moving section and the center is equal to the distance between the clamping section and the center. After the first link or the second link slides from the clamping section into the moving section, it can change the upper clamping component 17 or the lower clamping component 18 to a non-clamping state. In this embodiment, preferably, the clamping sections of the first sliding groove 23 and the second sliding groove 24 are semi-circular. The clamping sections of the first sliding groove 23 and the second sliding groove 24 alternate to achieve the clamping state, and there will be no situation where the upper clamping component 17 or the lower clamping component 18 is in a non-clamping state.

[0039] The rotating shaft 9 passes through the first sliding groove 23 and the second sliding groove 24. The moving section is a symmetrical broken line shape, and the distance from the two ends of the moving section to the midpoint of the moving section and the center of the clamping section becomes smaller and smaller. This makes the connection and sliding between the first sliding groove 23 and the second sliding groove 24 and the first connecting rod 22 and the second connecting rod 21 smoother. The first connecting rod 22 and the second connecting rod 21 slide from the clamping section into the moving section, which can realize the movement of the upper clamping component 17 or the lower clamping component 18, changing from the clamping state to the non-clamping state.

[0040] The transmission mechanism 4 includes a first pulley, the output end of the motor 2 is fixedly connected to the first pulley, and a second pulley that cooperates with the first pulley is fixedly installed at one end of each of the two rotating shafts 9. The first pulley and the two second pulleys are connected by a belt 8. The motor 2 drives the rotating shafts 9 to rotate through the first pulley, the second pulley and the belt 8.

[0041] The guiding mechanism includes a first slide rail 14 and a second slide rail 19. The first slide rail 14 and the second slide rail 19 are fixedly connected to the base 6. The first slide rail 14 and the second slide rail 19 are slidably connected to the upper clamping component 17 and the lower clamping component 18, respectively. The first slide rail 14 and the second slide rail 19 limit the movement of the upper clamping component 17 and the lower clamping component 18, so that the upper clamping component 17 and the lower clamping component 18 can only move along the slide rails and run smoothly.

[0042] The top of the output end of the upper clamping component 17 is provided with a slope, and several clamping pins are fixedly installed at the bottom of the output end of the upper clamping component 17. The clamping pins can enable the upper clamping component 17 to better clamp and fix the egg tray, and the slope can better adapt to the shape of the egg tray, guide the egg tray placed in the egg tray compartment, and make it fall better into the clamping position between the upper clamping components 17.

[0043] A conveying mechanism is provided below the egg tray outlet 10. The egg trays discharged from the egg tray outlet 10 can fall onto the conveying mechanism and be transported to the next section under the action of the conveying mechanism. The conveying mechanism can be a belt conveyor.

[0044] In summary, in practical use, the stacked egg trays are placed into the egg tray compartment 1, and the motor 2 is turned on, causing the rotating shaft 9 to drive the turntable 12 to rotate. Under the action of the first connecting rod 22 and the second connecting rod 21, the upper clamping component 17 and the lower clamping component 18 are driven to release the egg trays alternately, thereby completing the egg tray separation process. Compared with the existing cylinder drive method, the motor 2 drive is more stable and faster, greatly improving the separation efficiency, which can reach a maximum separation efficiency of 7800 pieces per hour.

[0045] The specific embodiments of this utility model described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made based on the technical concept of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
