Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of egg sorting technology, and in particular to an egg sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] Eggs, also known as chicken eggs, are the eggs laid by hens. They have a hard outer shell and contain an air cell, albumen, and yolk. They are rich in cholesterol and nutrients. An egg weighs about 50 grams and contains 6-7 grams of protein and 5-6 grams of fat. The amino acid ratio of egg protein is very suitable for human physiological needs and is easily absorbed by the body, with a utilization rate of over 98%. It has high nutritional value and is one of the foods commonly consumed by humans.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN221710886U discloses an egg sorting device. By setting up a lifting unit, an egg collection structure, and a separating component, the egg collection structure includes a bottom collection frame and a top collection frame to provide storage areas for the sorted eggs. After the eggs are in floating and sinking states respectively, the separating component separates the collection top frame into sections. This can be combined with the lifting unit to provide lifting power for the egg collection structure to float to the surface. The detachable structure formed by the bottom collection frame and the top collection frame allows for convenient and quick removal of the sorted eggs, thereby improving the efficiency of egg sorting.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned related technologies, the inventors believe that the following defects exist:

[0005] In actual use, good eggs sink to the bottom while bad eggs float on the surface, thus achieving separation and collection. After the two are completely separated, the separator is inserted again to achieve separation and collection. However, the separator needs to be removed again for the next use, which is quite troublesome and affects the continuity of the device's practicality. Utility Model Content

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an egg sorting device.

[0007] This utility model is achieved by the following technical solution: an egg sorting device, including a water tank, a vertical plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the water tank, and a lifting component installed inside the vertical plate.

[0008] The lifting assembly includes a long rod, one end of which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the vertical plate, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to a drive motor. A transmission gear is sleeved on the surface of the long rod, and two lifting gear plates are meshed on the surface of the transmission gear. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting gear plates, and a connecting block is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod. A placement component is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting block.

[0009] The placement assembly includes a placement frame fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting block. A connecting rod is rotatably connected to the surface of the placement frame. A connecting gear and a lifting gear are sleeved on the surface of the connecting rod. Two movable toothed plates are meshed on the surface of the connecting gear. A screening plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable toothed plate via an L-shaped rod. The screening plate is slidably disposed inside the placement frame. A vertical toothed plate is meshed on the surface of the lifting gear. A pressure plate is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical toothed plate. Spring rods are fixedly connected to the top of the pressure plate at equal intervals. An abutment rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the vertical toothed plate. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement frame. Guide rods are slidably disposed through the four corners of the connecting plate.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above solution, a protective cover is installed on the surface of the placement frame, the top end of the spring rod is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the protective cover, and one end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the protective cover, ensuring the normal rotation of the connecting rod.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above solution, the top and bottom of the inner wall of the protective cover are provided with moving grooves, and the surface of the moving toothed plate is slidably disposed inside the moving grooves to ensure the normal movement of the moving toothed plate.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above solution, two vertical grooves are provided on the inner wall of the protective cover, and the two ends of the pressure plate are slidably disposed inside the vertical grooves to ensure the normal movement of the pressure plate.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above solution, the placement frame is a wire mesh frame, and a collection net box is slidably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the placement frame to facilitate the collection of qualified eggs.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above solution, the front and back of the water tank are fixedly connected to U-shaped frames, and the top of the guide rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the U-shaped frame, ensuring the normal lifting and lowering movement of the connecting plate.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1. This utility model, through the setting of a placement component, pours the eggs to be sorted into the placement frame. After the good eggs sink to the bottom and the bad eggs float, the drive motor is started, causing the long rod to rotate. This causes the lifting toothed plate to move upward, carrying the connecting rod upward, thereby causing the connecting block to move the placement frame upward. During this process, the abutting rod gradually releases its contact with the bottom of the inner wall of the water tank. Under the action of the spring rod and the pressure plate, the vertical toothed plate is reset. The lifting gear rotates due to the meshing action of the vertical toothed plate, causing the connecting rod to rotate with the connecting gear. This causes the two moving toothed plates to move the screening plate into the placement frame through the two L-shaped rods, isolating the space inside the placement frame vertically, thereby completing the sorting of eggs and improving the working efficiency of the device.

[0018] 2. This utility model, by setting up a lifting component, allows the eggs in one of the placement frames to be sorted and then moved to the highest point. During this process, the other placement frame moves downward until the bottom end of the abutment rod abuts the bottom of the inner wall of the water tank, causing the two screening plates to move away from each other. While removing eggs from one placement frame, eggs are poured into the other placement frame. This allows the eggs in the other placement frame to be sorted during the removal of eggs. The two placement frames are alternately raised and lowered by a drive motor, improving the continuity of the sorting operation of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The lifting assembly is used to control the alternating lifting and lowering movement of the two placement frames 8. The lifting assembly includes a long rod 3, one end of which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the vertical plate 2, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to a drive motor. A transmission gear 4 is sleeved on the surface of the long rod 3, and two lifting gear plates 5 are meshed on the surface of the transmission gear 4. Limit grooves are opened on both sides of the inner wall of the vertical plate 2, and the lifting gear plates 5 are slidably set inside the limit grooves to ensure normal operation of the lifting gear plates 5. A connecting rod 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting gear plates 5, and a connecting block 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 6. A placement assembly is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting block 7.

[0028] The placement assembly is used to place eggs that need to be sorted. The placement assembly includes a placement frame 8 fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting block 7. The placement frame 8 is a wire mesh frame, and a collection mesh box is slidably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the placement frame 8 for easy collection of qualified eggs. A protective cover 20 is installed on the surface of the placement frame 8. Movable grooves are provided at the top and bottom of the inner wall of the protective cover 20. The surface of the movable toothed plate 12 is slidably disposed inside the movable grooves to ensure normal movement of the movable toothed plate 12. The top end of the spring rod 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the protective cover 20. One end of the connecting rod 9 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the protective cover 20 to ensure normal rotation of the connecting rod 9. The surface of the placement frame 8 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 9. A connecting gear 10 and a lifting gear 11 are sleeved on the surface of the connecting rod 9. Two movable toothed plates 12 are meshed on the surface of the connecting gear 10. A screening plate 14 is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable toothed plate 12 via an L-shaped rod 13. The screening plate 14 is slidably disposed inside the placement frame 8. A vertical toothed plate 15 is meshed with the surface of the lifting gear 11. A pressure plate 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical toothed plate 15. Two vertical grooves are opened on the inner wall of the protective cover 20. The two ends of the pressure plate 16 are slidably disposed inside the vertical grooves to ensure the normal movement of the pressure plate 16. Spring rods 17 are fixedly connected to the top of the pressure plate 16 at equal intervals. An abutment rod 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the vertical toothed plate 15. A connecting plate 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement frame 8. A U-shaped frame is fixedly connected to both the front and back of the water tank 1. The top of the guide rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the U-shaped frame to ensure the normal lifting and lowering movement of the connecting plate 19. Guide rods are slidably disposed through the four corners of the connecting plate 19.

[0029] The implementation principle of an egg sorting device in this embodiment is as follows: Eggs to be sorted are poured into the placement frame 8. After the good eggs sink to the bottom and the bad eggs float, the drive motor is started, causing the long rod 3 to rotate. This causes the lifting toothed plate 5 to move upwards, carrying the connecting rod 6 upwards, which in turn causes the connecting block 7 to move the placement frame 8 upwards. During this process, the abutting rod 18 gradually releases its contact with the bottom of the inner wall of the water tank 1. Under the action of the spring rod 17 and the pressure plate 16, the vertical toothed plate 15 is reset. The lifting gear 11 rotates due to the meshing action of the vertical toothed plate 15, causing the connecting rod 9 to rotate, carrying the connecting gear 10. This causes the two moving toothed plates 12 to move towards the interior of the placement frame 8 via the two L-shaped rods 13, isolating the space inside the placement frame 8 vertically, thus completing the egg sorting work and improving the working efficiency of the device.

[0030] After the sorted eggs are removed, the placement frame 8 is reset. In this process, the abutting rod 18 is abutted by the bottom of the inner wall of the water tank 1, and the two screening plates 14 are moved away again, which facilitates the sorting of eggs, reduces the number of steps to manually separate the space of the placement frame 8, and improves the overall working efficiency of the device.

[0031] After the eggs are sorted in one of the placement frames 8, the placement frame 8 is moved to its highest point. During this process, the other placement frame 8 moves downward until the bottom end of the abutment rod 18 abuts against the bottom of the inner wall of the water tank 1, so that the two screening plates 14 move away from each other. While the eggs are being taken out of one of the placement frames 8, the eggs are being poured into the other placement frame 8. This allows the eggs in the other placement frame 8 to be sorted while the eggs are being taken out. The two placement frames 8 are alternately raised and lowered by the drive motor, which improves the continuity of the sorting operation of the device.

[0032] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
