Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock breeding equipment, specifically an egg sorting device for breeding chickens. Background Technology
[0002] Eggs are the ovaries laid by hens. They have hard shells and contain nutrients such as yolks and egg whites. They are rich in protein, fat, and various trace elements. Eggs are a common food on the table and can be eaten raw, boiled, fried, pan-fried, steamed, or baked. They can be cooked in a variety of ways and taste delicious. Eggs are widely used in the food industry, animal husbandry, and other fields. They also have certain medicinal value and are an agricultural product with high economic value and wide range of uses.
[0003] Eggs collected from farms first undergo visual inspection to remove obviously defective eggs such as cracked, broken, or deformed eggs. Existing sorting equipment uses image recognition technology to photograph the eggs, then analyzes their shape and size using algorithms, and finally controls a robotic arm to sort the eggs.
[0004] Existing sorting equipment requires high-precision cameras, complex image acquisition systems, and powerful image analysis algorithms, which increases research and development and purchase costs. The robotic arm also has high requirements for accuracy, stability, and flexibility in its sorting actions, further increasing the purchase cost of the equipment. Therefore, in order to address the above problems, an egg sorting device for breeding chicken farming is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, at least one technical problem raised in the background art is solved.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: An egg sorting device for breeding chickens, comprising a sorting frame; a conveyor belt installed in the middle of the sorting frame; multiple grooves opened on the inner sidewall of the sorting frame; a reciprocating motor fixedly connected to the middle of the grooves; a rubber roller fixedly connected to the load end of the reciprocating motor; the distance between adjacent rubber rollers gradually increases; multiple sliding plates fixedly connected to the middle of the sorting frame; the sliding plates are arranged below the rubber rollers; the sliding plates are inclined; a base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding plates; multiple support columns are fixedly connected to the bottom of the sorting frame; by moving the rubber rollers up and down, the eggs can be moved to the next set of rubber rollers for sorting. Each up and down movement of the rubber rollers is equivalent to screening the eggs, allowing the eggs to accurately find the rubber roller spacing position suitable for their size. When the rubber rollers move up and down, they drive the eggs to roll, making the contact between the eggs and the rubber rollers relatively uniform, reducing concentrated pressure on the egg surface, thereby reducing damage caused by collisions, squeezing, etc.
[0007] Preferably, a set of support blocks is fixed to the top of the sorting frame; a height limit plate is fixed between the set of support blocks; and multiple separation plates are fixed to the bottom of the height limit plate. By setting the height limit plate, stacked eggs can be pushed apart, and the separation plates can separate adjacent eggs, so that the eggs are evenly distributed on the sorting frame. This reduces direct contact and friction between eggs, lowers the probability of egg damage caused by squeezing and collision, increases the integrity and quality of eggs, and thus improves the overall sorting efficiency.
[0008] Preferably, a set of support plates is fixed to the top of the sorting frame; the support plates are arranged behind the support blocks; a rotary motor is fixed to one side of one of the support plates; a brush is fixed to the output end of the rotary motor; the brush is rotatably connected to another support plate; by setting the brush, it can contact the surface of the egg when the brush rotates, brushing away feces, dirt and other stains and some impurities on the surface of the egg, reducing the possibility of bacterial growth, and making the surface of the egg cleaner.
[0009] Preferably, multiple air cushions are fixed to the top of the slide plate; the air cushions are set at the angle between the slide plate and the rubber roller; by setting the air cushions, a buffering effect can be achieved, reducing the impact force between the egg and the end of the slide plate or other adjacent parts, thereby protecting the egg, reducing the breakage rate of the egg during the sorting process, and ensuring the integrity and quality of the egg.
[0010] Preferably, the top of the slide plate is fixed with multiple guide plates; the guide plates are inclined; the guide plates are located on one side of the air cushion; the guide plates can guide the eggs to roll away from the bottom plate surface, realizing the automatic discharge function after egg sorting, saving labor costs, improving production efficiency, and reducing collisions when eggs leave the bottom plate.
[0011] Preferably, multiple rubber rings are fixed to the surface of the reciprocating motor; the rubber rings are correspondingly arranged with the separation plate; the rubber rings keep each egg in an independent position during the sorting process, which can reduce direct collisions between eggs, reduce the breakage rate of eggs during the sorting process, ensure the integrity and quality of eggs, and reduce losses.
[0012] The advantages of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. The egg sorting equipment for breeding chickens described in this utility model can move the eggs between the next set of rubber rollers by moving the rubber rollers up and down. Each up and down movement of the rubber roller is equivalent to screening the eggs, allowing the eggs to accurately find the rubber roller spacing position suitable for their size. When the rubber roller moves up and down, it drives the eggs to roll, making the contact between the eggs and the rubber rollers relatively uniform, reducing the concentrated pressure on the egg surface, thereby reducing damage caused by collision, squeezing, etc.
[0014] 2. The egg sorting equipment for breeding chickens described in this utility model can play a buffering role by setting an air cushion, reducing the impact force between the eggs and the end of the slide plate or other adjacent parts, thereby protecting the eggs, reducing the breakage rate of eggs during the sorting process, and ensuring the integrity and quality of the eggs.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0023] Specific implementation examples are given below.
[0024] like Figures 1 to 3As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, an egg sorting device for breeding chickens includes a sorting frame 1; a conveyor belt 11 is installed in the middle of the sorting frame 1; multiple grooves 12 are formed on the inner side wall of the sorting frame 1; a reciprocating motor 13 is fixedly connected to the middle of the groove 12; a rubber roller 14 is fixedly connected to the load end of the reciprocating motor 13; the distance between adjacent rubber rollers 14 gradually increases; multiple sliding plates 15 are fixedly connected to the middle of the sorting frame 1; the sliding plates 15 are arranged below the rubber rollers 14; the sliding plates 15 are inclined; a base plate 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding plates 15; multiple support columns 17 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the sorting frame 1; during operation, a small number of eggs are placed on the surface of the conveyor belt 11 at a time, and the eggs are conveyed forward with the conveyor belt 11. When the eggs enter between a set of rubber rollers 14, the distance between the eggs and the set of rubber rollers 14 is larger than the distance between the sets of rubber rollers 14. The eggs will either stay between a set of rubber rollers 14 or fall onto the surface of the base plate 16 along the inclined surface of the slide plate 15 via a set of rubber rollers 14. After screening, the workers will quickly remove the screened eggs and then turn on the reciprocating motor 13 to drive the rubber rollers 14 up and down, causing the eggs to roll to the next set of rubber rollers 14. The above operation is repeated to sort the eggs. The up and down movement of the rubber rollers 14 can move the eggs to the next set of rubber rollers 14. Each up and down movement of the rubber rollers 14 is equivalent to screening the eggs, allowing the eggs to accurately find the rubber roller 14 spacing position that is suitable for their size. When the rubber rollers 14 move up and down, they drive the eggs to roll, making the contact between the eggs and the rubber rollers 14 relatively uniform, reducing the concentrated pressure on the egg surface, thereby reducing damage caused by collisions, squeezing, etc.
[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a set of support blocks 2 are fixed to the top of the sorting frame 1; a height limiting plate 21 is fixed between the set of support blocks 2; and multiple separation plates 22 are fixed to the bottom of the height limiting plate 21. During operation, when eggs pass through the height limiting plate 21, the cooperation between the height limiting plate 21 and the conveyor belt 11 pushes the stacked eggs apart. When eggs pass through the separation plates 22, the separation plates 22 separate adjacent eggs. By setting the height limiting plate 21, stacked eggs can be pushed apart, and the separation plates 22 can separate adjacent eggs, so that the eggs are evenly distributed on the sorting frame 1. This reduces direct contact and friction between eggs, lowers the probability of egg damage caused by squeezing and collision, increases the integrity and quality of eggs, and thus improves the overall sorting efficiency.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, a set of support plates 3 are fixed to the top of the sorting frame 1; the support plates 3 are set behind the support block 2; a rotary motor 31 is fixed to one side of one of the support plates 3; a brush 32 is fixed to the output end of the rotary motor 31; the brush 32 is rotatably connected to the other support plate 3; when working, the rotary motor 31 is turned on so that its output end drives the brush 32 to rotate, and the brush 32 cleans the surface of the eggs it passes over. By setting the brush 32, it can contact the surface of the eggs when the brush 32 rotates, brushing away feces, dirt and other stains and some impurities on the surface of the eggs, reducing the possibility of bacterial growth, and making the surface of the eggs cleaner.
[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, multiple air cushions 4 are fixed to the top of the slide plate 15; the air cushions 4 are set at the angle between the slide plate 15 and the rubber roller 14; during operation, when the egg slides down the slide plate 15, the air cushions 4 reduce the impact force of the egg. By setting the air cushions 4, a buffering effect can be achieved, reducing the impact force between the egg and the end of the slide plate 15 or other adjacent parts, thereby protecting the egg, reducing the breakage rate of the egg during the sorting process, and ensuring the integrity and quality of the egg.
[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, multiple guide plates 5 are fixed to the top of the slide plate 15; the guide plates 5 are inclined; the guide plates 5 are set on one side of the air cushion 4; during operation, when the egg stops on the surface of the base plate 16, the egg rolls along the surface of the guide plate 5 and leaves the surface of the base plate 16. The guide plates 5 can guide the egg to roll away from the surface of the base plate 16, realizing the automatic discharge function after egg sorting, saving labor costs, improving production efficiency, and at the same time, the eggs leaving the base plate 16 reduce the collision of subsequent eggs entering.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, multiple rubber rings 6 are fixed to the surface of the reciprocating motor 13; the rubber rings 6 are correspondingly arranged with the separating plate 22; during operation, when the eggs are between a set of rubber rollers 14, the rubber rings 6 separate the eggs, reducing collisions between the eggs. By using the rubber rings 6, each egg maintains an independent position during the sorting process, which can reduce direct collisions between eggs, reduce the breakage rate of eggs during the sorting process, ensure the integrity and quality of the eggs, and reduce losses.
[0030] Working principle: A small number of eggs are placed on the surface of the conveyor belt 11 at a time. The eggs are conveyed forward by the conveyor belt 11. When the eggs enter the space between a set of rubber rollers 14, if the distance between the eggs is larger than the distance between the rollers 14, the eggs stay between the rollers 14; otherwise, they fall onto the surface of the base plate 16 along the inclined surface of the slide plate 15. Simultaneously, after screening, the workers quickly remove the screened eggs and then sequentially activate the reciprocating motor 13, causing its load end to drive the rubber rollers 14 up and down, making the eggs roll to the next set of rollers 14. This process is repeated to sort the eggs. When passing over the height restriction plate 21, the cooperation between the height restriction plate 21 and the conveyor belt 11 pushes the stacked eggs apart. When the eggs pass through the separation plate 22, the separation plate 22 separates the adjacent eggs. The rotary motor 31 is turned on so that its output end drives the brush 32 to rotate. The brush 32 cleans the surface of the passing eggs. When the eggs slide down the slide plate 15, the air cushion 4 reduces the impact force of the eggs. When the eggs stop on the surface of the base plate 16, the eggs roll along the surface of the guide plate 5 and leave the surface of the base plate 16. When the eggs are between a set of rubber rollers 14, the rubber ring 6 separates the eggs and reduces the collision between the eggs.
[0031] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
