Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In modern poultry farming, the automated transport of eggs from cages and trays to collection lines is a crucial step, and its efficiency and reliability directly impact farming profitability. Current mainstream egg transport solutions typically employ a segmented equipment combination, where the horizontal egg-collecting device and the vertical lifting device are independent, resulting in eggs undergoing multiple transfers (e.g., from the egg tray to the horizontal conveyor belt, and then via the lifting device to the collection line). This segmented structure has significant drawbacks:

[0003] High risk of transshipment: Each transshipment involves the mechanical movement of eggs, inevitably resulting in collisions and friction between eggs. Especially in areas with turns or changes in speed, the breakage rate can increase by 15%-20%, causing economic losses and potentially leading to pollution problems.

[0004] Low equipment integration: The horizontal egg picking and lifting functions are separated, requiring additional connecting mechanisms, which increases the equipment's footprint and installation complexity. Furthermore, the multi-stage coordinated control is difficult, and faults such as egg jamming and conveying delays are prone to occur.

[0005] Therefore, we propose an egg conveying device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] Current mainstream egg conveying solutions typically employ segmented equipment combinations, where the horizontal egg-collecting device and the vertical lifting device are independent of each other, resulting in eggs needing to undergo multiple transfers. This segmented structure suffers from high transfer risks and low equipment integration. This utility model provides an egg conveying device.

[0007] The solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: an egg conveying device, including a frame, a drive unit and N egg trays. The frame includes a feeding box, a discharging box and a support base. Two parallel upright plates are fixedly installed on the support base. Two sliding grooves are opened in the lower section of the upright plates. An L-shaped adjusting seat is provided on the outside of the sliding groove. A fixing plate is provided below the L-shaped adjusting seat. The fixing plate is welded and fixed to the upright plate. An adjusting component for adjusting the height of the L-shaped adjusting seat is provided between the fixing plate and the L-shaped adjusting seat.

[0008] A tray is fixedly installed at the inlet of the feeding box, and its open end is fixedly installed on the side of the two upright plates. Limiting baffles are respectively installed on the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the feeding box. The limiting baffles have a limiting guide edge for guiding the egg tray to tilt slightly.

[0009] A receiving plate for receiving eggs is fixedly installed at the discharge port of the discharge box, and its open end is fixedly installed on the other side of the two upright plates.

[0010] The drive unit includes a geared motor, a drive shaft, two chains, four driven sprockets, four guide sprockets (first type), four guide sprockets (second type), four support sprockets, and four tension sprockets.

[0011] The drive shaft is rotatably installed inside the discharge box, and two drive sprockets are mounted on it. Multiple stop pins are respectively set on the opposite face of the two drive sprockets. The geared motor is fixedly installed on the outer side of the discharge box, and its output shaft is connected to the drive shaft to drive the drive shaft to rotate. The four guide sprockets are arranged in pairs inside the discharge box. The guide sprockets are rotatably installed on the side wall of the discharge box through the rotating shaft.

[0012] The four driven sprockets are arranged in pairs inside the feed box. The driven sprockets are rotatably mounted on the side wall of the feed box via a rotating shaft. The four guide sprockets are arranged in pairs inside the feed box. The guide sprockets are rotatably mounted on the side wall of the feed box via a rotating shaft.

[0013] The four support sprockets are arranged in pairs at the upper ends of the two vertical plates. The support sprockets are rotatably mounted on the vertical plates via a pivot four. The four tension sprockets are arranged in pairs at the lower sections of the two vertical plates. A pivot five is fitted inside the tension sprocket. The pivot five passes through a slide groove and is rotatably mounted on an L-shaped adjusting seat.

[0014] The chain is mounted on the drive sprocket, the two support sprockets, the two tension sprockets and the two driven sprockets, wherein the outer side of the chain meshes with the two guide sprockets and the two guide sprockets.

[0015] N egg trays are arranged sequentially between two chains. Each egg tray has an arc-shaped cavity for holding eggs. Circular holes are opened on its front and rear side walls. Multiple dropping holes are opened on the bottom of the egg tray for dropping soft or broken eggs. The pins of the chains are inserted into the circular holes, allowing the egg trays to move with the chains. There is a gap between the outer surface of the egg trays and the chains, allowing the egg trays to rotate freely.

[0016] The egg tray has a raised rib on the side near the drive sprocket. When the raised rib contacts the stop pin, it causes the egg tray to flip and the eggs to roll from the egg tray onto the receiving plate.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0025] 1. This utility model connects the feeding box to the egg conveyor belt in the chicken house and the discharging box to the egg collection and conveying line, thus constructing an integrated path of "egg tray picking → continuous conveying → precise unloading". This reduces the 2-3 transfer links of traditional segmented conveying, thereby reducing the footprint of the equipment and eliminating the need for additional connecting mechanisms, thus reducing the complexity of installation and debugging and the number of failure points. On the other hand, it avoids the risk of collision caused by multiple transfers of eggs.

[0026] 2. This utility model allows the egg tray to rotate freely under the support of the pin by leaving a gap between the egg tray and the chain, ensuring that the egg tray remains horizontal during turning and significantly reducing the damage to eggs caused by tipping or sliding.

[0027] 3. This utility model has an adjustment component between the fixed plate and the L-shaped adjustment seat, which can adjust the height of the tension sprocket, thereby controlling the tension of the chain, avoiding jamming or interruption of the conveying due to chain shaking, and improving the stability of equipment operation.

[0028] 4. This utility model sets multiple stop pins on the drive sprocket. When the egg tray moves under the drive of the chain, the stop pins will support the ribs on the egg tray, causing the egg tray to gradually rotate. When the egg tray rotates to a preset angle, the eggs will roll smoothly from the egg tray onto the receiving plate, achieving precise unloading.

[0029] 5. This utility model sets multiple drop holes on the egg tray, which form a natural screening channel, allowing soft-shelled eggs and broken eggs to fall directly into the receiving tray, reducing subsequent manual sorting costs. Attached Figure Description

[0038] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0039] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution for an egg conveying device:

[0040] Example 1:

[0041] according to Figure 1-7As shown, the machine includes a frame, a drive unit, and N egg trays 6. The frame includes a feed box 3, a discharge box 7, and a support base 2. Two parallel upright plates 1 are fixedly installed on the support base 2. The top of the two upright plates 1 is fixedly installed with the same top plate 4. Two sliding grooves 10 are opened in the lower section of the upright plates 1. An L-shaped adjusting seat 81 is provided on the outside of the sliding groove 10.

[0042] A tray 33 is fixedly installed at the inlet of the feeding box 3. The feeding box 3 is connected to the egg conveyor belt in the chicken house, so that the eggs on the egg conveyor belt slide onto the tray 33. The open end of the feeding box 3 is fixedly installed on the side of the two upright plates 1. Limiting baffles 32 are respectively installed on the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the feeding box 3. The limiting baffles 32 have a limiting guide edge for guiding the egg tray 6 to tilt slightly.

[0043] A receiving plate 71 for receiving eggs is fixedly installed at the discharge port of the discharge box 7. The discharge box 7 is connected to the egg collection conveyor line, so that the eggs on the receiving plate 71 slide down to the egg collection conveyor line. The open end of the discharge box 7 is fixedly installed on the other side of the two upright plates 1.

[0044] The drive unit includes a geared motor 52, a drive shaft 59, two chains 51, four driven sprockets 54, four guide sprockets 56, four guide sprockets 57, four support sprockets 513, and four tension sprockets 514.

[0045] Bearings 6 are respectively installed at the front and rear ends of the drive shaft 59. The two bearings 6 are respectively installed on the front and rear side walls of the discharge box 7. Under the action of the two bearings 6, the drive shaft 59 rotates stably. Two drive sprockets 510 are installed on the drive shaft 59. Multiple stop pins 511 are respectively provided on the opposite side of the two drive sprockets 510. The geared motor 52 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the discharge box 7. Its output shaft is connected to the drive shaft 59 and is used to drive the drive shaft 59 to rotate.

[0046] Four guide sprockets 2 57 are arranged in pairs inside the discharge box 7. A rotating shaft 3 58 is installed inside the guide sprocket 2 57. A bearing 3 is fitted on the end of the rotating shaft 3 58 away from the guide sprocket 2 57. The bearing 3 is installed on the side wall of the discharge box 7 to make the rotating shaft 3 58 and the guide sprocket 2 57 rotate stably.

[0047] Four driven sprockets 54 are arranged in pairs inside the feed box 3. A rotating shaft 53 is installed inside the driven sprocket 54. A bearing 1 is fitted on the end of the rotating shaft 53 away from the driven sprocket 54. The bearing 1 is installed on the side wall of the feed box 3. Four guide sprockets 56 are arranged in pairs inside the feed box 3. A rotating shaft 2 55 is installed inside the guide sprocket 56. A bearing 2 is fitted on the end of the rotating shaft 2 55 away from the guide sprocket 56. The bearing 2 is installed on the side wall of the feed box 3.

[0048] Four support sprockets 513 are arranged in pairs at the upper ends of the two vertical plates 1. A rotating shaft 512 is installed inside the support sprocket 513. A bearing 4 is fitted on the end of the rotating shaft 512 away from the support sprocket 513. The bearing 4 is installed on the vertical plate 1. Four tension sprockets 514 are arranged in pairs at the lower ends of the two vertical plates 1. A rotating shaft 515 is fitted inside the tension sprocket 514. The rotating shaft 515 passes through the slide groove 10 and is fitted with a bearing 5. The bearing 5 is installed on the L-shaped adjusting seat 81. By setting an adjusting component between the fixed plate 82 and the L-shaped adjusting seat 81, the height of the tension sprocket 514 can be adjusted, thereby controlling the tension of the chain 51, avoiding jamming or conveying interruption caused by the shaking of the chain 51, and improving the stability of equipment operation.

[0049] The chain 51 is mounted on the drive sprocket 510, two support sprockets 513, two tension sprockets 514 and two driven sprockets 54. The outer side of the chain 51 meshes with two guide sprockets 56 and two guide sprockets 57 to guide the chain 51 and ensure that it runs smoothly along the preset path.

[0050] N egg trays 6 are arranged sequentially between two chains 51. Each egg tray 6 has an arc-shaped cavity for holding eggs. Circular holes 63 are opened on the front and back side walls of the tray. Multiple dropping holes 61 are opened at the bottom of the egg tray 6 for soft-shelled or broken eggs to fall. The multiple dropping holes 61 form a natural screening channel, allowing soft-shelled eggs and broken eggs to fall directly into the receiving tray 9, reducing subsequent manual sorting costs.

[0051] The pin 516 of the chain 51 is inserted into the round hole 63, allowing the egg tray 6 to move with the chain 51. There is a gap between the outer side of the egg tray 6 and the chain 51. With the support of the pin 516, the egg tray 6 can rotate freely, ensuring that the egg tray 6 remains horizontal during the turning process, significantly reducing the damage to the eggs caused by tipping or sliding.

[0052] The egg tray 6 has a raised rib 62 on the side near the drive sprocket 510. When the egg tray 6 moves under the drive of the chain 51, the stop pin 511 will support the raised rib 62 on the egg tray 6, causing the egg tray 6 to gradually rotate. When the egg tray 6 rotates to the preset angle, the eggs will roll smoothly from the egg tray 6 onto the receiving plate 71, achieving precise unloading.

[0053] In practical use, the egg conveying device of this utility model first fixes the support base 2 on the horizontal ground between the henhouse egg belt and the egg collection conveyor line to ensure that the frame is vertically stable, so that the inlet of the feed box 3 is aligned with the end of the henhouse egg belt, the tray 33 receives the eggs that slide off the henhouse egg belt, and the outlet of the discharge box 7 is aligned with the receiving end of the egg collection conveyor line to ensure that the receiving plate 71 is seamlessly connected with the egg collection conveyor line.

[0054] The egg conveyor belt, geared motor 52, and egg collection conveyor line operate. Eggs slide down the egg conveyor belt onto tray 33. Chain 51 drives egg tray 6 to move. When egg tray 6 passes under tray 33, limiting baffle 32 gently presses the outer side of egg tray 6 through limiting guide edge, causing egg tray 6 to tilt slightly, making it easier for egg tray 6 to catch eggs. As chain 51 operates, when an egg can no longer be blocked by egg tray 6, it will fall into the next egg tray 6 (e.g., ...). Figure 6 (as shown)

[0055] As the chain 51 rotates, the egg tray 6 containing eggs moves to the discharge box 7. When it passes the drive sprocket 510, the stop pin 511 on the drive sprocket 510 will support the protruding rib 62 on the egg tray 6, causing the egg tray 6 to gradually rotate. When the egg tray 6 rotates to the preset angle, the eggs will roll smoothly from the egg tray 6 onto the receiving plate 71 and slide smoothly from the receiving plate 71 into the egg collection conveyor line, completing the unloading.

[0056] Example 2:

[0057] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, L-shaped support rods 31 are installed on the front and rear sides of the feed box 3, and L-shaped support rods 72 are installed on the front and rear sides of the discharge box 7. Dispensing openings 34 are opened on the front and rear side walls of the feed box 3.

[0058] It also includes four receiving trays 9. Three of the receiving trays 9 are placed on L-shaped support rod 1 31, L-shaped support rod 2 72 and support base 2 respectively, and the other receiving tray 9 is inserted into the tray opening 34. The four receiving trays 9 are distributed at key nodes of the conveying path to receive soft eggs and broken eggs that fall down in real time.

[0059] Example 3:

[0060] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 3 As shown, the L-shaped adjusting seat 81 and the fixing plate 82 are respectively provided with reserved holes. The adjusting component is a double-ended screw 83. The two ends of the double-ended screw 83 are respectively set in the upper and lower reserved holes. The two ends of the double-ended screw 83 are threadedly connected to two adjusting nuts 84. The L-shaped adjusting seat 81 is clamped between the two upper adjusting nuts 84, and the fixing plate 82 is clamped between the two lower adjusting nuts 84.

[0061] Example 4:

[0062] Based on Embodiment 1, the difference is as follows: the adjustment component is a hydraulic rod or electric cylinder installed between the L-shaped adjustment seat 81 and the fixed plate 82.
