Detailed Implementation
[0021] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and intended to provide further explanation of this application. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.
[0022] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.
[0023] like Figures 1-5As shown, an egg-retrieving clamp opening and closing mechanism includes a mounting frame 100, on which a plurality of egg clamps 200 and an opening and closing mechanism 300 for controlling the opening and closing of individual clamps are provided. Each egg clamp 200 includes a first clamping body 210 and a second clamping body 220 that can be opened and closed in a coordinated manner. In the initial state, the first clamping body 210 and the second clamping body 220 of the egg clamp 200 are in an open position. The opening and closing mechanism 300 includes an opening and closing rotating member 310 that is coordinated with the first clamping body or the second clamping body. The opening and closing rotating member 310 is connected to a first lever 320 for moving the opening and closing rotating member from the open position of the egg clamp to the closed position of the egg clamp. A limiting member 330 is provided on the side of the opening and closing rotating member to restrict the opening and closing rotating member to the closed position of the egg clamp, so that the first clamping body 210 and the second clamping body 220 can be kept in the closed position. The egg clamp 200 is opened and closed by an opening and closing rotating component. When the opening and closing rotating component is in the open position, the egg clamp is open (i.e., the first clamp body 210 and the second clamp body 220 are in the open position). When the opening and closing rotating component is in the closed position, the egg clamp is closed (i.e., the first clamp body 210 and the second clamp body 220 are in the closed position). When the first lever 320 is pushed by a component on the equipment, it drives the opening and closing rotating component to rotate a certain angle, so that the egg clamp is closed and locked by the opening and closing rotating component. When the opening and closing rotating component is unlocked, the egg clamp is released and returns to the initial state.
[0024] The egg-grabbing clamp opening and closing mechanism of this utility model simplifies the structure, making the egg clamp structure simpler and more compact. It can streamline the operation, save time, be easy to control, increase the egg-grabbing speed, be more stable and reliable, and reduce the failure rate.
[0025] In this embodiment, the limiting member 330 is provided with a limiting protrusion 331 facing the opening and closing rotating member, and the first lever is provided with a limiting groove 321 that engages with the limiting protrusion when the opening and closing rotating member rotates to the egg clamping position. When the first lever drives the opening and closing rotating member to rotate to the egg clamping position, the limiting protrusion 331 of the limiting member 330 can enter the limiting groove 321.
[0026] In this embodiment, a tension spring 340 is connected between the limiting member and the first lever to pull the opening and closing rotating member from the egg clamp's closed position to the egg clamp's open position. The tension of the tension spring 340 drives the first lever to reset, and at the same time, it drives the opening and closing rotating member back to the egg clamp's open position, restoring the egg clamp to its initial state.
[0027] In this embodiment, the limiting member 330 is hinged to the mounting rod, and the limiting member 330 is connected to a second lever 350. When the second lever 350 is pushed by a component on the equipment, it causes the limiting member to rotate at a certain angle, causing the limiting protrusion 331 to disengage from the limiting groove 321 and engage in a locking action.
[0028] In this embodiment, to avoid interference caused by the first lever and the second lever being too close together, the limiting member 330 and the second lever 350 are located on two opposite sides of the mounting bracket. The limiting member 330 and the second lever 350 are coaxially hinged and connected by a connecting frame 360 that bypasses the mounting bracket. The limiting member, the second lever, and the connecting frame are an integral structure.
[0029] In this embodiment, the first lever 320 is rotatably connected to the opening and closing rotating member 310, and a first torsion spring 370 is provided between the first lever and the opening and closing rotating member, which is fitted onto the rotatable connection of the first lever. The outer end face of the opening and closing rotating member 310 is provided with a convex shaft, and the rotatable connection end of the first lever 320 is provided with a connecting sleeve fitted onto the convex shaft. The first lever 320 can swing relative to the opening and closing rotating member 310 at a certain angle. The first torsion spring 370 provides a thrust opposite to the direction of the lever being pulled, thereby giving the first lever 320 a buffering effect. That is, when the opening and closing rotating member 310 reaches the egg clamping position, if the first lever 320 continues to be pushed, it will swing relative to the opening and closing rotating member 310 through a certain angle, achieving a soft connection with the opening and closing rotating member 310 and preventing the first lever 320 from being easily damaged or even broken when pulled.
[0030] In this embodiment, the mounting rod 100 is provided with a limiting groove 110 for limiting the rotation angle of the opening and closing rotating component, and the side of the opening and closing rotating component is provided with a limiting block 311 that extends into the limiting groove.
[0031] In this embodiment, the mounting rod 100 is rotatably connected to the connecting seats 400 at both ends. A second torsion spring 500 is provided between one end of the mounting rod 100 and the connecting seat, and a third lever 120 for rotating the mounting rod is provided at that end. The connecting seats 400 at both ends are connected to the chain of the equipment, and the mounting rod 100 can rotate 90° relative to the connecting seats 400. When the third lever 120 is pushed by a component on the equipment, it drives the mounting rod 100 to rotate 90°, causing the eggs to flip 90°. After the third lever 120 is no longer pushed, the second torsion spring 500 returns the mounting rod 100 to its initial state.
[0032] In this embodiment, the non-clamping ends of the first clamp and the second clamp are both hinged to the mounting rod. The non-clamping ends of the first clamp and the second clamp are provided with a first meshing tooth 230 and a second meshing tooth 240 to achieve linkage opening and closing. The non-clamping end of the first clamp or the non-clamping end of the second clamp is provided with a third meshing tooth 250 and a fourth meshing tooth 312 to achieve linkage between the non-clamping end of the first clamp or the non-clamping end of the second clamp and the opening and closing rotating component.

Furthermore, the numerical values listed above should not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model.
[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).
