Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of egg sorting technology, and in particular to an egg sorting device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, eggs are priced differently in the market due to their different sizes. Larger eggs are more expensive because they are larger in size. Therefore, before packaging eggs, they need to be sorted by egg sorting equipment and classified by weight or volume.
[0003] Egg sorting devices are also divided into large egg sorting machines and small egg sorting machines. Small egg sorting machines usually place eggs on a conveyor assembly for transport, then weigh the eggs through a weighing device, and then classify the weighed eggs. The classification device is equipped with a ramp, which rolls the eggs to the bottom of the ramp for temporary storage.
[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, raw eggs are fragile. When an egg rolls down to the bottom of a slope, it may bump against the other egg, causing damage to the shell. Furthermore, when a subsequent egg rolls down the slope and touches the first egg, the impact between the two eggs may also cause the shell to break, making the eggs unsellable and resulting in economic losses. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides an egg sorting device.
[0006] This application provides an egg sorting device, which adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] An egg sorting device includes a body, on which a conveying component for conveying eggs is provided. The body is also provided with several driving components for conveying eggs to conveyor belts. The body is also provided with a sorting ramp. The conveying component is located at the highest point of the sorting ramp. Several conveyor belts are arranged at equal intervals on the sorting ramp. Several storage platforms for placing eggs are provided on the outer surface of each conveyor belt. The storage platforms are arranged at equal intervals on the outer surface of the conveyor belts.
[0008] Optionally, the machine body is provided with several guide plates, each of which corresponds to a conveyor belt. When conveying eggs, one end of the guide plate extends towards the storage platform in the length direction.

[0010] Optionally, the machine body includes a support frame, on which a sliding frame is slidably connected, and several guide plates are movably connected to the sliding frame. When conveying eggs, the guide plates are in contact with the upper surface of the conveyor belt.
[0011] Optionally, the lower end of the sliding frame is provided with several support shafts at equal intervals, each support shaft corresponding to a guide plate. An insertion hole is provided at the center of the guide plate, and the support shaft passes through the corresponding insertion hole. A baffle is provided at the lower end of the support shaft, and the width of the baffle is greater than the diameter of the insertion hole.
[0012] Optionally, a plurality of swing cylinders are equally spaced on the sliding frame, and the cylinder barrels of the swing cylinders are all hinged to the sliding frame. An extension plate is provided at the upper end of the guide plate, and the extension plate extends towards the sliding frame. The extension plate is located at one end of the guide plate in the length direction. The swing cylinders correspond one-to-one with the extension plates, and the end of the extension plate near the sliding frame is hinged to the piston rod of the corresponding swing cylinder.
[0013] Optionally, the upper end of the support frame is provided with a lifting cylinder, and the piston rod of the lifting cylinder passes through to the lower part of the support frame and is fixedly connected to the upper end of the sliding frame.
[0014] Optionally, the conveying assembly includes a conveying frame with two sprockets rotatably connected to it. A chain is mounted on the outside of the two sprockets.

[0015] Optionally, the driving component is a push cylinder, which is evenly spaced on the machine body. Several push cylinders correspond one-to-one with the conveyor belt, and several push cylinders are located on one side of the highest point of the conveyor belt, used to push the eggs on the weighing support rollers onto the conveyor belt.
[0016] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0017] 1. First, place the eggs one by one between the weighing support rollers. Then, operate sprocket one and sprocket two to rotate, driving chain one and chain two to move, which in turn drives several weighing support rollers to move, and in turn drives several eggs to move. Move the eggs to the corresponding conveyor belt. If the weight of the egg is the weight of the eggs collected by the conveyor belt, operate the piston rod of the push cylinder to extend, pushing the egg onto the corresponding conveyor belt.

[0023] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to all the accompanying drawings.
[0024] This application discloses an egg sorting device.
[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2An egg sorting device includes a body 1, a conveying assembly 2 for transporting eggs, and several driving components 7 for transporting eggs to conveyor belts 31. The body 1 also includes a sorting ramp 3, with the conveying assembly 2 located at the highest point of the ramp 3. Several conveyor belts 31 are evenly spaced on the ramp 3, and each conveyor belt 31 has several storage platforms 42 for placing eggs on its outer surface. Eggs are first placed on the conveying assembly 2. 2 includes a conveyor frame 21, on which two sprockets 1 are rotatably connected. Chains 1 22 are mounted on the outside of the two sprockets 1. Two sprockets 22 are also rotatably connected to the conveyor frame 21. Chains 23 23 23 24 for supporting eggs are fixedly connected between chains 1 22 and chains 23. Eggs are placed between two weighing support rollers 24 and weighed. As the eggs are conveyed to the conveyor belt 31 for storage, the drive unit 7 pushes the eggs onto the storage platform 42 for sorting.
[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Each weighing support roller 24 is equipped with a pressure sensor. A fixed rod is provided between sprocket one and sprocket two on the same side. By manipulating either sprocket one or sprocket two to rotate, chain one 22 and chain two 23 will rotate, thereby moving several support rollers and thus moving the egg.
[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The driving component 7 is a push cylinder, which is equally spaced on the machine body 1. Several push cylinders correspond one-to-one with the conveyor belt 31, and several push cylinders are located on one side of the highest point of the conveyor belt 31. When the egg moves to the first conveyor belt 31, if the weight of the egg is greater than the weight of the eggs collected by the conveyor belt 31, the piston rod of the push cylinder is extended to push the egg onto the conveyor belt 31, and the egg rolls along the corresponding inclined conveyor belt 31.
[0028] If the weight of the egg is less than the threshold weight, the first actuating cylinder will convey the egg and move it to the position of the next driving element 7.
[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The storage platform 42 has several storage slots 321 for storing eggs. The walls of the storage slots 321 are arc-shaped and covered with sponge 322. The machine body 1 has several guide plates 4, each corresponding to a conveyor belt 31.
[0030] In this embodiment, there are two storage slots 321, or more than two, which can be used to store eggs.
[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The machine body 1 includes a support frame 6, on which a sliding frame 51 is slidably connected. Several guide plates 4 are movably connected to the sliding frame 51. Several support shafts 52 are evenly spaced at the lower end of the sliding frame 51, with each support shaft 52 corresponding to one of the guide plates 4. An insertion hole is opened at the center of the guide plate 4, and the support shaft 52 passes through the corresponding insertion hole. A baffle is provided at the lower end of the support shaft 52, the width of which is greater than the diameter of the insertion hole. Several swing cylinders 511 are evenly spaced on the sliding frame 51, and the cylinder barrels of the swing cylinders 511 are all hinged to the sliding frame 51. An extension plate 41 is provided at the upper end of the guide plate 4, extending towards the sliding frame 51. The extension plate 41 is located at one end of the guide plate 4 along its length. The swing cylinder 511 corresponds to the extension plate 41. The end of the extension plate 41 near the sliding frame 51 is hinged to the piston rod of the corresponding swing cylinder 511. The upper end of the support frame 6 is provided with a lifting cylinder 53. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder 53 passes through the lower part of the support frame 6 and is fixedly connected to the upper end of the sliding frame 51. By manipulating the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 53 to extend, the guide plate 4 is moved. By manipulating the piston rod of the swing cylinder 511 to extend, the extension plate 41 is moved, which in turn causes the guide plate 4 to rotate until one end of the guide plate 4 along its length is oriented toward a storage slot 321.
[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As the piston rod of the cylinder rotates, the egg is about to fall onto a certain conveyor belt 31. As it rolls along the inclined angle of the conveyor belt 31, the egg will also roll along the inclined angle of the corresponding guide plate 4 until it rolls into the storage groove 321 facing the guide plate 4. When the egg enters the storage groove 321, it comes into contact with the sponge 322, and the impact force it receives is small, thus protecting the egg.
[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The piston rod of the lifting cylinder 53 is retracted, and then the piston rod of the swing cylinder 511 is retracted, so that the guide plate 4 is oriented toward the other storage slot 321.
[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As the next egg is about to fall onto the conveyor belt 31, the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 53 is extended again, causing the guide plate 4 to move closer to the conveyor belt 31. The egg rolls along the inclined angle of the guide plate 4 and rolls into another storage slot 321, thereby avoiding the two eggs from colliding with each other and reducing the impact force on the eggs.
[0035] Then the conveyor belt 31 can be manipulated to move, so that the storage platform 42 without eggs is oriented toward the drive unit 7, thereby collecting the eggs in the future.
[0036] The implementation principle of the egg sorting device in this embodiment is as follows: First, the eggs are placed one by one between the weighing support rollers 24. Then, both sprockets 1 and sprocket 2 are rotated, driving chains 1 and 23 to move, which in turn drives the weighing support rollers 24 to move, and thus moves the eggs to the corresponding conveyor belt 31. If the weight of the egg is the same as the weight of the eggs collected by the conveyor belt 31, the piston rod of the push cylinder is extended to push the egg onto the corresponding conveyor belt 31. The egg falls onto the upper surface of the corresponding conveyor belt 31. At this time, the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 53 is extended. The guide plate 4 is moved, and the eggs move along the inclined angle of the guide plate 4 into the storage tank 321, completing the grading of the eggs. When storing the eggs, the eggs will come into contact with the sponge 322, and the impact force is small. After storing the eggs once, the piston rod of the swing cylinder 511 is operated to extend or retract, thereby driving the guide plate 4 to rotate and facing another storage tank 321. At this time, the eggs will roll and move along the inclined surface of the guide plate 4 into another storage tank 321. When storing the eggs, the eggs will not come into contact with other eggs, but will come into contact with the sponge 322 in the storage tank 321, and the impact force is small.
[0037] 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.
