Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of egg conveying equipment, in particular to an egg falling and turning device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Eggs are usually provided with a small end and a large end, in order to facilitate production, the large end of the egg is usually set upwards by a turning device, so that the egg is not easy to break. Specifically, in the prior art, the turning device can refer to the utility model patent with the patent number CN 211392905 U and the name of a mechanism for automatically adjusting the large and small ends of the egg.

[0003] For the related technology in the above, the egg is in a state of the large end upwards and the small end downwards after turning, which is not convenient for part of the processing of the egg, for example, when taking egg yolk, it is usually necessary to break the shell from the large end with a relatively fragile air chamber and make the egg yolk fall into the collecting device at the bottom, if the shell is broken from the small end, it is more difficult and easy to make the egg yolk adhere to the shell. SUMMARY

[0004] In order to make the egg in a state of the small end upwards and the large end downwards after turning, the present application provides an egg falling and turning device.

[0005] The egg falling and turning device provided by the present application adopts the following technical scheme:

[0006] An egg falling and turning device, comprising a conveying roller, a conveying driving member, an egg turning rod and a rotating driving member;

[0007] The conveying roller is used to hold the egg, the conveying driving member is used to drive the conveying roller to move along the conveying path, the conveying path is located in a vertical plane, the conveying path comprises a horizontal section and an inclined section, the horizontal section extends along the horizontal direction, and the inclined section is arranged inclinedly from top to bottom along the conveying direction of the egg;

[0008] The egg turning rod is located at the end of the conveying roller, when the conveying roller moves to the inclined section, the egg falls from the conveying roller, and the small end of the egg collides with the egg turning rod;

[0009] The rotating driving member is used to rotate the conveying roller.

[0010] By adopting the above technical scheme, after the egg is placed on the conveying roller, it moves along the conveying path with the conveying roller under the action of the conveying driving member, and the rotating driving member drives the egg to rotate through the rotation of the conveying roller. Moreover, since the large end of the egg has an air chamber, the center of gravity of the egg is biased towards the small end, when the egg rotates, the egg will move towards the direction pointed by the small end, that is, towards the end of the conveying roller.

[0011] After the eggs and conveyor rollers move together to the inclined section, the eggs roll off the conveyor rollers under the influence of gravity. After the eggs near the end of the conveyor rollers roll off, their smaller ends collide with the egg turning rod, causing the larger ends of the eggs to rotate approximately around the contact point between the smaller ends and the egg turning rod. This results in the larger ends of the eggs moving downwards and the smaller ends moving upwards, so that after turning, the eggs are in a state where the smaller ends are facing up and the larger ends are facing down.

[0012] Optionally, the conveying roller is rotatably coupled to the conveying drive component, the conveying roller is provided with a transmission part, the transmission part is abutted and coupled to the rotary drive component, and the rotary drive component remains stationary when the conveying roller moves along the conveying path.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the transmission part of the conveyor roller rotates after contacting the rotating drive component, thereby driving the eggs to rotate. It has the characteristics of simple structure and is easy to mass-produce in industrial production.

[0014] Optionally, the rotary drive is a rack and pinion, and the transmission part has teeth that mesh with the rotary drive.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, transmission is achieved through tooth meshing, which helps to improve the stability of the fit between the rotating drive component and the conveying roller.

[0016] Optionally, the conveying roller includes a straight section and an enlarged section. The diameter of each part of the straight section is the same. The diameter of one end of the enlarged section is larger than the diameter of the other end. The end of the enlarged section with the smaller diameter is connected to the straight section and has the same diameter as the straight section.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when the conveyor roller rotates and drives the eggs to rotate, the eggs slide along the straight part towards the end of the conveyor roller and are gradually blocked by the enlarged part until they can no longer move towards the end of the conveyor roller. Thus, the enlarged part makes it difficult for the eggs to fall off the end of the conveyor roller.

[0018] Optionally, the type of the conveying drive is a chain, and the conveying roller is rotatably coupled to the conveying drive.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the conveyor rollers are driven by the chain to move along the conveying path, which helps to reduce the size of the conveying drive components.

[0020] Optionally, a plurality of egg turning rods are provided, and the plurality of egg turning rods are respectively located on both sides of the conveying roller, and the plurality of egg turning rods extend along the egg conveying direction.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, eggs with different small-end orientations can be turned around by egg turning rods on both sides of the conveyor roller, which helps to increase the applicability of the egg turning device.

[0022] Optionally, the egg-turning rod is elastic.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solutions, it is beneficial to reduce the occurrence of damage to eggs after they collide with the egg turning rod.

[0024] Optionally, the egg turning lever includes a turning lever shaft and an egg turning wheel, wherein the egg turning wheel is rotatably coupled to the turning lever shaft.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, after the egg comes into contact with the egg turning rod, the egg turning wheel rotates with the small end of the egg, which helps to reduce the occurrence of the egg turning rod scratching the egg and affecting its appearance.

[0026] Optionally, the egg-turning wheel is elastic.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solutions, it is beneficial to reduce the occurrence of damage to eggs after they collide with the egg turning rod.

[0028] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0029] 1. After the eggs are placed on the conveyor rollers, they move along the conveyor path under the action of the conveyor drive, and the rotation drive drives the eggs to rotate through the rotation of the conveyor rollers. Furthermore, because there is an air cell at the larger end of the egg, the center of gravity of the egg is biased towards the smaller end. When the egg rotates, it will move in the direction that the smaller end is pointing, that is, towards the end of the conveyor rollers;

[0030] After the eggs and conveyor rollers move together to the inclined section, the eggs roll off the conveyor rollers under the influence of gravity. After the eggs near the end of the conveyor rollers roll off, their smaller ends collide with the egg turning rod, causing the larger ends of the eggs to rotate approximately around the contact point between the smaller ends and the egg turning rod. This results in the larger ends of the eggs moving downwards and the smaller ends moving upwards, so that after turning, the eggs are in a state where the smaller ends are facing up and the larger ends are facing down.

[0035] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0036] Example 1:

[0037] Embodiment 1 of this application discloses an egg-dropping and turning device. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The egg-dropping and turning device includes a conveying roller 1, a conveying drive component 2, an egg-turning rod 3, and a rotating drive component 4.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The system includes several conveyor rollers 1, all arranged horizontally. The conveyor drive 2 is a chain, driven by a motor (not shown) and a sprocket (not shown). Each conveyor roller 1 is rotatably coupled to the conveyor drive 2, allowing it to move along the conveying path. The conveying path includes horizontal and inclined sections. The horizontal sections extend horizontally, while the inclined sections are arranged at an angle from top to bottom along the egg conveying direction. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the conveying path is generally unicircular, meaning it includes two straight sections and two semicircular sections.

[0039] The conveying roller 1 includes a straight section 11 and an enlarged section 12. All parts of the straight section 11 have the same diameter and are cylindrical. Two enlarged sections 12 are integrally connected to both ends of the straight section 11. The diameter of one end of the enlarged section 12 is larger than the diameter of the other end. The smaller diameter end of the enlarged section 12 is connected to the straight section 11 and has the same diameter. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the conveying roller 1 is generally hourglass-shaped. When conveying eggs, the eggs are placed horizontally between two adjacent conveying rollers 1, allowing the conveying rollers 1 to support the eggs and facilitate rotation of the eggs by the rotation of the conveying rollers 1. As the eggs rotate, under the combined action of gravity and the friction of the conveying rollers 1, they move laterally in the direction indicated by the smaller end of the egg, causing the egg to gradually move to the end of the conveying roller 1 and be blocked by the enlarged section 12 during the conveying process.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The rotary drive 4 is a rack and pinion mechanism, and is fixedly mounted on the frame (not shown in the figure). The conveyor roller 1 is provided with a transmission part 101, which has teeth. The transmission part 101 engages with the rotary drive 4 through the teeth. When the conveyor drive 2 drives the conveyor roller 1 to move along the horizontal section of the conveying path, the rotary drive 4 remains stationary, and the transmission part 101 rolls along the length of the rotary drive 4. Thus, the conveyor roller 1 is rotated by the rotary drive 4, reducing the complexity of the structure.

[0041] Two egg-turning rods 3 are provided, both of which are fixedly connected to the frame (not shown in the figure). The two egg-turning rods 3 are located at the front end of the inclined section along the egg conveying direction, and the height of the top of each egg-turning rod 3 is less than the height of the top of the inclined section. The two egg-turning rods 3 are located on both sides of the conveying roller 1, and both egg-turning rods 3 extend along the egg conveying direction and are arranged parallel to each other, so that eggs with opposite small-end faces collide with the two egg-turning rods 3 after falling, so that the small-end faces upward and the large-end faces downward after falling to the collecting device (not shown in the figure).

[0042] The implementation principle of the egg-dropping and turning device in Embodiment 1 of this application is as follows: During the rolling process, the egg moves laterally towards the end of the conveyor roller 1 in the direction of its smaller end. When the egg and the conveyor roller 1 move together to the inclined section, the egg rolls off the end of the conveyor roller 1 under the action of gravity. After the egg rolls off the end of the conveyor roller 1, its smaller end collides with the egg-dropping and turning rod 3, causing the larger end of the egg to rotate approximately around the contact point between the smaller end and the egg-dropping and turning rod 3. This causes the larger end of the egg to move downward and the smaller end to move upward, so that after turning, the egg is in a state where the smaller end is facing up and the larger end is facing down, which facilitates the removal of the yolk.

[0043] Example 2:

[0044] Embodiment 2 of this application discloses an egg-dropping and turning device, which, in addition to all the technical features of Embodiment 1, also includes the following technical features:

[0045] The egg turning lever 3 includes a turning lever shaft 31 and several egg turning wheels 32. The turning lever shaft 31 is fixedly connected to the frame (not shown in the figure), and the several egg turning wheels 32 are all coaxially rotatably engaged with the turning lever shaft 31. The several egg turning wheels 32 are elastic, so that when the eggs collide with the egg turning lever 3, the rotation of the egg turning wheels 32 reduces the scratching of the eggs, and the elasticity of the egg turning wheels 32 reduces the breakage of the eggs.

[0046] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
