A conveyor belt is horizontally fixedly connected to the top of the two frame devices along their length. Two uprights are vertically fixedly connected to the rear ends of the inner sides of the upper surfaces of the two frame devices. Multiple connecting blocks are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the multiple uprights. A vertically arranged, open-ended feeding frame is fixedly connected between the multiple connecting blocks. A through groove is horizontally opened through the bottom of the two sides of the feeding frame. A convex frame is horizontally fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the two sides of the feeding frame outside the through groove. A partition is horizontally slidably connected inside the convex frame on both sides. A cylinder is horizontally fixedly connected to the outer end of the convex frame on both sides. The inner end of the movable rod of the cylinder on both sides slidably passes through the outer surfaces of the convex frame on both sides and is fixedly connected to one end of the partition on both sides.

[0006] Preferably, the inner contour of the feeding frame is adapted to the outer contour of the egg tray.

[0007] Preferably, the outer surface of the conveyor belt is fixedly connected with multiple limiting strips at uniform intervals along its length.

[0008] Preferably, the upper surfaces of the two device frames are respectively fixedly connected with guide side plates extending above the conveyor belt along their length direction.

[0009] Preferably, the width of the conveyor belt is greater than the width of the inner contour of the unloading frame.

[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0017] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution: an egg tray supply device for egg racks, including two horizontally arranged device frames 1. A conveyor belt 2 is horizontally fixedly connected to the top of the two device frames 1 along their length. Two uprights 3 are vertically fixedly connected to the rear ends of the inner side of the upper surface of each of the two device frames 1. Multiple connecting blocks 4 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of multiple uprights 3. A vertically arranged feeding frame 5 with open ends is fixedly connected between multiple connecting blocks 4. A through groove is horizontally opened at the bottom of both sides of the feeding frame 5. A protruding frame 6 is horizontally fixedly connected to the outer surface of both sides of the feeding frame 5 outside the through groove. A partition 8 is horizontally slidably connected inside the protruding frame 6 on both sides. A cylinder 7 is horizontally fixedly connected to the outer end of the protruding frame 6 on both sides. The inner end of the movable rod of the cylinder 7 on both sides can slide through the outer surface of the protruding frame 6 on both sides and is fixedly connected to one end of the partition 8 on both sides.

[0018] In this embodiment, the device is equipped with a synchronizer, which enables multiple cylinders 7 on both sides to operate synchronously. The piston rods of the multiple cylinders 7 on both sides will perform intermittent rapid extension and retraction, causing the partitions 8 on both sides to perform synchronous rapid extension and retraction. The operator can feed the stacked egg trays from the top of the feeding frame 5 into the interior of the feeding frame 5. The bottom egg tray will be fixed to the bottom of the feeding frame 5 by the multiple partitions 8 on both sides. When the device is running, the partitions 8 extend and retract rapidly. During the retraction process, the bottom egg tray will fall onto the conveyor belt 2 under its own weight. Then, it will continue to be conveyed forward by the conveyor belt 2. At the same time, due to the rapid extension and retraction of the partitions 8, it can fix the next egg tray. By repeating this process, the automatic feeding operation of egg trays can be realized, reducing labor costs without affecting the overall work efficiency.

[0019] Furthermore, the inner contour of the feeding frame 5 is adapted to the outer contour of the egg tray.

[0020] The width of conveyor belt 2 is greater than the width of the inner contour of the unloading frame 5.

[0021] In this embodiment, the inner contour of the feeding frame 5 is adapted to the outer contour of the egg tray, which can play a certain limiting role, so that the stacked egg trays can be kept horizontal inside the feeding frame 5 and will not be tilted, thereby ensuring the smooth supply.

[0022] Furthermore, multiple limiting strips 10 are fixedly connected at even intervals along the length of the outer surface of the conveyor belt 2.

[0023] In this embodiment, the spacing of the limiting strip 10 is adapted to the spacing of the groove at the bottom of the egg tray, so that the egg tray will not move easily after it falls onto the surface of the conveyor belt 2, which facilitates the subsequent egg placement operation.

[0024] Furthermore, guide side plates 9 extending above the conveyor belt 2 are fixedly connected to the upper surfaces of the two device frames 1 along their length direction.

[0025] In this embodiment, the guide side plates 9 on both sides can play a guiding and adjusting role, adjusting the egg trays that have shifted position to the middle of the conveyor belt 2, which facilitates subsequent operations.

[0026] Furthermore, multiple support pads 11 are fixedly connected to the bottom of both device frames 1.

[0027] In this embodiment, multiple support pads 11 provide support.

[0028] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: After the utility model is installed, the worker can send the stacked egg trays into the interior of the feeding frame 5 from the top. The bottom egg tray will be fixed to the bottom of the feeding frame 5 by the blocking of multiple partitions 8 on both sides. When the device is running, the partitions 8 quickly extend and retract. During the retraction process, the bottom egg tray will fall onto the conveyor belt 2 under its own weight. Then, it will continue to be conveyed forward under the action of the conveyor belt 2. At the same time, due to the rapid extension and retraction of the partitions 8, it can fix the next egg tray. By repeating this process, the automatic feeding operation of egg trays can be realized, reducing labor costs without affecting the overall work efficiency.

[0029] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
