Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a gap adjustment mechanism for a feeder. Background Technology

[0002] To reduce the breakage rate of poultry eggs during transportation and storage, egg trays are commonly used for packaging and transport. In mechanized egg packaging production, palletizing equipment is often used to transport empty egg trays to the loading station for egg filling. However, some palletizing equipment typically includes an egg tray separation mechanism below the egg tray storage section. This mechanism separates the bottommost egg tray from the bottom of the storage section for easier delivery to the loading station. However, current egg tray separation mechanisms have two separation sections that come into contact with the egg tray, positioned left and right. The distance between these two sections is fixed, making it inconvenient to adjust the distance according to the size of the egg tray and resulting in poor operational flexibility. Therefore, it is necessary to improve these technical issues, hence this invention. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model addresses the problems existing in the prior art by providing a reasonably designed egg tray gap adjustment mechanism that can be used to separate egg trays of different sizes, thereby improving the flexibility of use.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a tray-separation adjustment mechanism, including a pair of movable seats for installing two separation parts of the egg tray separation mechanism, and an adjustable swing arm that can swing left and right between the pair of movable seats. The adjustable swing arm is connected to the pair of movable seats respectively through a pair of swing connecting rods distributed in front and behind. When the adjustable swing arm swings left and right, it drives the pair of movable seats to move towards or away from each other through the pair of swing connecting rods.

[0005] Furthermore, a pair of swing links are respectively hinged to the front and rear ends of the adjusting arm. The swing link located at the front end of the adjusting arm extends to the left and is hinged to the bottom of the moving seat located on the left. The swing link located at the rear end of the adjusting arm extends to the right and is hinged to the bottom of the moving seat located on the right.

[0006] Furthermore, it also includes a lateral guide, with a pair of movable seats distributed at the left and right ends of the lateral guide and slidingly engaging with the lateral guide.

[0007] Furthermore, the lateral guide includes a pair of lateral guide rods spaced apart at the front and rear. The left and right ends of the pair of lateral guide rods are connected by connecting plates. The lower front and rear ends of the movable seat are provided with lateral through sliding holes, and the lateral guide rods slide through the sliding through holes.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a swing lock for locking the swing arm after it has been rotated.

[0009] Furthermore, the middle part of the adjusting swing arm is provided with a receiving groove; the swing locking component includes a locking fixing seat provided in the receiving groove, the rear end of the locking fixing seat is provided with arc-shaped distributed locking teeth, the center of the locking teeth coincides with the rotation center of the adjusting swing arm, and the rear end of the adjusting swing arm is provided with a clamping top rod for pressing against the adjacent locking teeth along the longitudinal direction.

[0010] Furthermore, the rear end of the adjusting arm is provided with a longitudinal through hole that communicates with the receiving groove and facilitates the passage of the locking rod. The top surface of the rear end of the adjusting arm is provided with a long strip hole that extends longitudinally. The long strip hole is vertically penetrating and communicating with the longitudinal through hole. A compression spring is provided in the long strip hole, which is sleeved on the outside of the locking rod and extends and retracts longitudinally. The rear end of the compression spring abuts against the rear end of the long strip hole, and the front end of the compression spring abuts against the annular flange on the outer peripheral side of the locking rod. The compression spring pushes the locking rod to press against the adjacent locking teeth.

[0011] Furthermore, a ball-head handle is fixed to the rear end of the clamping rod.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: The present invention has a reasonable structural design. When the adjusting arm swings left and right, it drives a pair of moving seats to move laterally towards each other or away from each other. The pair of moving seats drive the two separation parts of the egg tray separation mechanism to move synchronously, thereby adjusting the distance between the two separation parts of the egg tray separation mechanism, which is convenient for separating egg trays of different sizes and effectively improves the flexibility of use.

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 1-3 As shown, this utility model discloses a tray-separation gap adjustment mechanism located below the egg tray storage section 2 of the tray-separation machine 1. It includes a pair of horizontally movable seats 201, one to the left and one to the right. The two movable seats 201 are used to respectively mount the two separation sections 4 of the egg tray separation mechanism. An adjustable swing arm 202, rotatable left and right, is provided between the two movable seats 201. The adjustable swing arm 202 is connected to the two movable seats 201 via a pair of front-to-back swing linkages 203. When the adjustable swing arm 202 rotates left and right, it drives the two movable seats 201 to move horizontally towards or away from each other through the swing linkages 203. By utilizing the left and right rotation of the swing arm to drive the two movable seats to move horizontally towards or away from each other, the two movable seats drive the two separation sections of the egg tray separation mechanism to move synchronously, thereby adjusting the distance between the two separation sections of the egg tray separation mechanism. This facilitates the separation of egg trays of different sizes and effectively improves the flexibility of use.

[0025] In this embodiment, a pair of swing linkages 203 are hinged to the top surfaces of the front and rear ends of the adjusting arm 202, respectively. The swing linkage 203 located at the front end of the adjusting arm 202 extends to the left and is hinged to the bottom of the movable seat 201 located on the left. The swing linkage 203 located at the rear end of the adjusting arm 202 extends to the right and is hinged to the bottom of the movable seat 201 located on the right. That is, a pair of swing linkages 203 extend to the left and right respectively and are hinged to a pair of movable seats. During operation, when the adjusting arm swings to the left (i.e., clockwise), the pair of swing linkages pulls a pair of movable seats to move laterally towards each other, thereby reducing the distance between the pair of movable seats. When the adjusting arm swings to the right (i.e., counterclockwise), the pair of swing linkages pushes a pair of movable seats to move laterally away from each other, thereby increasing the distance between the pair of movable seats.

[0026] In this embodiment, a transverse guide is also included, with a pair of movable seats 201 distributed at the left and right ends of the transverse guide and slidingly engaged with it. The transverse guide allows the movable seats to move linearly along the transverse guide under the influence of the swing linkage.

[0027] In this embodiment, the transverse guide includes a pair of transverse guide rods 204 spaced apart in front and behind. The left and right ends of the pair of transverse guide rods 204 are connected by a connecting plate 205. The lower front and rear ends of the movable seat 201 are provided with transversely penetrating sliding through holes 206, and the transverse guide rods 204 slide through the sliding through holes 206.

[0028] In this embodiment, a swing locking component is also included, which is used to lock the adjusting swing arm 202 after it swings left and right. Specifically: the adjusting swing arm 202 has a receiving groove 207 in the middle; the swing locking component includes a locking fixing seat 208 disposed in the receiving groove 207, the locking fixing seat 208 is fixed to the dispatcher and remains stationary, and the adjusting swing arm 202 and the locking fixing seat 208 are rotatably engaged, that is: the adjusting swing arm rotates around the locking fixing seat. Further, the rear end of the locking fixing seat 208 is provided with arc-shaped distributed locking teeth 209, the center of the locking teeth 209 coincides with the rotation center of the adjusting swing arm 202, and a clamping top rod 210 is longitudinally inserted at the rear end of the adjusting swing arm 202. The front end of the clamping top rod 210 is sharp and is used to press against the space between two adjacent locking teeth 209. When the front end of the locking rod is pressed against the space between two adjacent locking teeth, the adjusting arm cannot swing left or right due to the limiting position of the locking rod.

[0029] In this embodiment, the rear end of the adjusting arm 202 is provided with a longitudinal through hole that communicates with the receiving groove 207. The locking rod 210 slides through the longitudinal through hole. The top surface of the rear end of the adjusting arm 202 is provided with a long strip hole 211 extending longitudinally. The long strip hole 211 is vertically penetrating and communicating with the longitudinal through hole. A compression spring 212 is provided in the long strip hole 211, which is sleeved on the outside of the locking rod 210 and extends and retracts longitudinally. The rear end of the compression spring 212 abuts against the rear end of the long strip hole 211, and the front end of the compression spring 212 abuts against the annular flange 213 on the outer peripheral side of the locking rod 210. Under normal conditions, the compression spring is in a compressed state. The compression spring 212 uses its elastic force to push the locking rod 210 to move forward, so that the front end of the locking rod 210 abuts against the two adjacent locking teeth 209, thereby achieving a locking state. To release the locking state, manually pull the locking rod to the right, causing the front end of the locking rod to separate from the locking teeth. At this time, the swing arm can be swung left and right to adjust it. After the swing arm has finished swinging, release the locking rod. The locking rod will move forward under the elastic force of the compression spring and re-lock between the two adjacent locking teeth, thus re-locking.

[0030] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate manual pulling of the clamping rod and left and right swing adjustment arm, a ball-head handle 214 is fixed to the rear end of the clamping rod 210.

[0031] In this embodiment, the movable seat 201 has a pair of vertically distributed insertion holes 215 at the end away from the adjusting swing arm. The vertical insertion holes 215 facilitate the insertion and installation of the separation part 4 of the egg tray separation mechanism 3. It should be noted that the two separation parts of the egg tray separation mechanism are two sets of flip hooks 5 that can be flipped up and down. The two sets of flip hooks 5 hook the egg tray at the bottom of the egg tray storage part 2 from the left and right ends. Each set of flip hooks 5 is installed on a flip support frame 6.

[0032] In this embodiment, since the egg tray separation mechanism needs to be raised and lowered during operation, a lifting rod 7 is provided below the egg tray separation mechanism. The lifting rod and the adjusting swing arm are connected as a whole, but the two are connected by a bearing. The lifting rod drives the entire gap adjustment mechanism and the egg tray separation mechanism to rise and fall.

[0033] 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).

[0034] 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.

[0035] 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.

[0036] 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.
