Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In egg-laying hen farming, the collection and transportation of eggs is a crucial step.

[0003] Existing egg collection line technology has some problems that urgently need to be solved:

[0004] 1. Low conveying efficiency: In order to avoid the eggs from getting stuck in the egg conveyor belt and the elevator egg collection line, it is necessary to frequently slow down or stop the machine to wait, which results in the egg collection line's transportation capacity not being fully utilized, thus restricting the overall production efficiency.

[0005] 2. High risk of breakage: Eggs need to be transported multiple times, increasing the probability of collision and friction, which can easily cause the eggshell to crack or develop micro-cracks. This not only contaminates the equipment and other eggs, but also significantly reduces the quality and value of the eggs.

[0006] 3. Poor system reliability: The existing elevator egg collection line is a series structure. A single point of failure can cause the entire chicken cage egg conveyor to stop operating, affecting production continuity and increasing maintenance costs.

[0040] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0041] Please see Figure 1-9 This utility model provides a technical solution for a flexible egg conveying device:

[0042] Example 1:

[0043] according to Figure 1-9 As shown, it includes a discharge end support unit, a feed end support unit, a drive unit, two closed-loop guide rails 5, and N egg trays 7. The N egg trays 7 are arranged sequentially along the two guide rails 5. Each egg tray 7 includes a base plate 74, a connecting sleeve 76, and M U-shaped partitions 72. Side plates 71 are fixedly installed at both ends of the base plate 74, and guide rods 73 are installed on the opposite sides of the two side plates 71.

[0044] M U-shaped partitions 72 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base plate 74 and located between the two side plates 71. The M U-shaped partitions 72 divide the area between the two side plates 71 into M+1 egg slots for storing eggs. Each egg slot holds one egg, which effectively avoids collisions and friction between eggs, significantly reduces the risk of breakage of eggs during transportation, and improves the quality of eggs.

[0045] Two chain plates 75 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the base plate 74. A connecting sleeve 76 is fixedly installed at the end of the two chain plates 75. Two protrusions 77 are respectively provided on the opposite sides of the two chain plates 75. A guide rail 5 passes through the upper and lower protrusions 77. The guide rail 5 constrains the overall path of the egg tray 7, ensuring that the egg tray 7 runs smoothly on the guide rail 5. The ends of two adjacent chain plates 75 are hinged to the beginning by a pin, connecting N egg trays 7 to form a closed-loop conveying system with a large load-bearing capacity. It can convey a large number of eggs at the same time to meet the needs of large-scale production.

[0046] The discharge end support unit includes an egg receiving plate 42 and two egg discharge side plates 41. Guide slides 43 are installed on the opposite sides of the two egg discharge side plates 41. When the guide rod 73 enters the guide slide 43, the guide slide 43 guides and limits the egg tray 7. Two support feet 1 are fixedly installed on the opposite sides of the two egg discharge side plates 41. The support feet 1 support the egg discharge side plates 41. The support feet 1 are made of channel steel. Sealing steel plates are welded to the top and bottom of the channel steel. Multiple connecting rods 2 are fixedly installed between the front and rear support feet 1.

[0047] The egg receiving plate 42 is fixedly installed between the two egg-discharging side plates 41. Its receiving end has multiple openings that are compatible with the U-shaped partition 72 or the side plate 71, for receiving the conveyed eggs.

[0048] The feed end support unit includes a hanger 61, a tray 92, two egg inlet side plates 91, two support rods 63 and two support rods 64. The hanger 61 serves as the main structure of the feed end support unit. Four hanger rods 62 and four hanger rods 66 are welded and fixed to the bottom of the hanger 61 for suspending and fixing the entire unit.

[0049] Support rod 2 64 is fixedly installed between the front and rear suspension rods 1 62. Two connectors 65 are fixedly installed at the bottom of support rod 2 64. The two connectors 65 are respectively connected to the outer side of the two guide rails 5 to support and fix the two guide rails 5, ensuring the stability of the guide rails 5 during use.

[0050] Support rod 1 63 is fixedly installed between the two hanging rods 2 66 on the left and right. Two egg inlet side plates 91 are fixedly installed on the two support rods 1 63. The support rods 1 63 support and fix the egg inlet side plates 91. The tray 92 is fixedly installed between the two egg inlet side plates 91. The tray 92 is used to place the eggs to be conveyed. Its discharge end has multiple openings 2 that are compatible with the U-shaped partition 72 or the side plate 71, so that the eggs can be loaded into the egg tray 7.

[0051] The drive unit includes a drive motor 81, a driven wheel 82, a tension wheel 84, a sprocket 86, and two adjusting seats 88. The sprocket 86 is fitted with a drive shaft 87. The front and rear ends of the drive shaft 87 are respectively fitted with bearings. The two bearings are respectively mounted on two egg-eating side plates 41. The drive motor 81 is fixedly mounted on the outer side of any egg-eating side plate 41, and its output shaft is connected to the drive shaft 87. The drive motor 81 drives the drive shaft 87 and the sprocket 86 to rotate.

[0052] Two adjusting seats 88 are located between the two support feet 1 on the left side. The tension wheel 84 is located below the sprocket 86 and a tension shaft 85 is installed inside it. Bearings 2 are installed at the front and rear ends of the tension shaft 85 respectively. The two bearings 2 are installed on the two adjusting seats 88 respectively.

[0053] The driven wheel 82 is fitted with a driven shaft 83. Bearings 3 are fitted at both ends of the driven shaft 83. The two bearings 3 are respectively installed on the two egg inlet side plates 91. A closed-loop conveying system is formed by using a closed-loop guide rail 5 and N hinged egg trays 7 connected in series. Driven by the drive unit, the eggs are transferred at a uniform speed and without stopping. This fully releases the transport capacity of the egg collection line and greatly improves production efficiency.

[0054] It also includes two inductive proximity sensors 10, which are respectively installed on the egg-out side plate 41 and the egg-in side plate 91. When the inductive proximity sensor 10 detects that the egg tray 7 conveying system is stuck or slipping, the drive motor 81 will stop working.

[0055] In practical use, the flexible egg conveying device of this utility model first places the eggs to be conveyed on the tray 92, then starts the drive motor 81, which drives the drive shaft 87 and the sprocket 86 to rotate, so that the egg tray 7 runs at a constant speed on the guide rail 5. As the egg tray 7 runs, the eggs on the tray 92 enter the egg slot of the egg tray 7.

[0056] During the conveying process, the working status of the egg tray 7 conveying system is monitored in real time by two inductive proximity sensors 10. If the inductive proximity sensors 10 detect that the egg tray 7 conveying system is stuck or slipping, the drive motor 81 will automatically stop working to ensure the safety of the equipment and the eggs.

[0057] When the egg tray 7 moves between the two egg-discharging side plates 41, the guide rod 73 enters the guide slide 43, which guides and limits the egg tray 7. As the egg tray 7, which is loaded with eggs, continues to move, the eggs are smoothly transferred from the egg tray 7 to the egg receiving plate 42.

[0058] Finally, once all the eggs have been delivered, turn off drive motor 81.

[0059] Example 2:

[0060] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 As shown, a leveling cup 3 is installed at the bottom of the support leg 1. The leveling cup 3 can adjust the levelness of the support leg 1 by adjusting its height.

[0061] Example 3:

[0062] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the adjusting seat 88 can slide up and down along the inner cavity of the support foot 1.

[0063] It also includes two springs 89 and two fixed hanging points 810. The two fixed hanging points 810 are respectively installed on the corresponding connecting rods 2. The two ends of the springs 89 are respectively connected to the top of the fixed hanging point 810 and the bottom of the adjusting seat 88. Under the action of the springs 89, the tension wheel 84 is continuously in contact with the chain plate 75.
