Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chicken farming equipment technology, and in particular to an egg-collecting claw for an automatic egg-collecting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Automatic egg-collecting machines are required in automated chicken farming equipment. Patent application number 201621109389.4 discloses an automatic egg-collecting machine for large-scale poultry farming. Its four-cage egg cages have egg-leaking holes at the bottom, and an egg-feeding conveyor belt is installed below the holes. An egg-collecting device is connected to the end of the conveyor belt. The egg-collecting device includes a drive motor, a drive wheel, a driven wheel, and a conveyor belt. An egg collector is installed on the conveyor belt, comprising a shaft and multiple egg-collecting claws. The distance between two egg-collecting claws is less than the size of the egg. The egg-collecting device is connected to an egg-guiding device, which is staggered with the egg-collecting claws. The egg-guiding device is connected to a worktable, then to a rolling conveyor belt, then to a split-type guide conveyor belt, and finally to a roller-type egg collector. Egg-loading tubes are evenly distributed on the roller-type egg collector, and a tray-loading device is located below it. Its egg-collecting claw is C-shaped, so that when it moves from one side upward and then downward to the other side of the conveyor belt, the egg will not fall out of the egg-collecting claw. This application provides an egg-collecting claw with another structure. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an egg-collecting claw for an automatic egg-collecting machine, addressing the aforementioned technical deficiencies.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: an egg-collecting claw for an automatic egg-collecting machine, comprising a base plate, wherein a plurality of egg-collecting plates are spaced apart on one side of the base plate, the upper surface of the egg-collecting plates gradually decreases in height from the middle to both sides, and the lower surface of the egg-collecting plates gradually increases in height from the middle to both sides, and gaps are formed between adjacent egg-collecting plates, so that eggs cannot fall down through the gaps, and at least one side of the egg-collecting plates is provided with a recess.

[0005] To further optimize this technical solution, the recess includes a guide edge, which is parallel to the extension direction of the egg-receiving piece.

[0006] To further optimize this technical solution, the recess is provided with a front inclined edge on the side of the guide edge away from the substrate, and the front inclined edge gradually approaches the adjacent egg receiving plate in the direction from approaching to moving away from the substrate.

[0007] To further optimize this technical solution, the recess is provided with a rear sloping edge on the side of the guide edge near the substrate, and the rear sloping edge gradually moves away from the adjacent egg receiving plate in the direction from near to far from the substrate.

[0008] Advantages of this invention: A plurality of egg-collecting plates are provided on one side of the substrate. The upper surface of the egg-collecting plates gradually decreases in height from the middle to both sides, while the lower surface of the egg-collecting plates gradually increases in height from the middle to both sides. A gap is formed between adjacent egg-collecting plates. At least one side of the egg-collecting plates is provided with a recess, so that the eggs will not fall outward from the gap. When the eggs move from one side upward and then downward to the other side of the conveyor belt, they will be supported by the adjacent egg-collecting claws and will not fall. The egg-collecting claw structure of this application is relatively simple and has a low cost. Attached Figure Description

[0013] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0014] Detailed implementation method: combined with Figure 1-3As shown, an egg-collecting claw for an automatic egg-collecting machine includes a base plate 1. Multiple egg-collecting plates 2 are spaced apart on one side of the base plate 1. The width of each egg-collecting plate 2 is approximately two centimeters. The upper surface of each egg-collecting plate 2 gradually decreases in height from the center to both sides (both sides refer to the two sides along its length), while the lower surface of each egg-collecting plate 2 gradually increases in height from the center to both sides. Gaps 3 are formed between adjacent egg-collecting plates 2, preventing eggs from falling through them. At least one side of each egg-collecting plate 2 has a recess 21, preferably on the inner side of the egg-collecting plates 2 located on both sides of the base plate 1, with recesses 21 on both sides of the other egg-collecting plates 2. The width of the gap 3 at the recess 21 increases, and the thickness difference between the center and the sides of the egg-collecting plate 2 should not be too large, so that when an egg is located at the recess 21, its center of gravity is lower than when it is located at other parts of the gap 3. The end of the recess 21 closest to the base plate 1 should be relatively close to the base plate 1. In use, multiple egg-collecting claws are installed on the conveyor belt, with the distance between adjacent claws being between one-half and one-third of the diameter of the rollers on the conveyor belt, ensuring that the angle between adjacent claws located at the top of the rollers on the conveyor belt is less than 60°. Figure 3 As shown, eggs fall from the left onto the left-side egg-collecting claw. Because the upper surface of the egg-receiving plate 2 on this side is higher in the middle and lower on both sides, the egg rolls into the gap 3, with its sides landing in the recess 21. Since the recess 21 is wider and the egg is oval-shaped, the egg will not fall from the end of the gap 3 away from the substrate 1. As the conveyor belt moves, the egg on the left rises to the top of the conveyor belt. When the egg reaches the highest point of the conveyor belt, slightly to the right, it rolls along the top of the conveyor belt onto the egg-receiving plate 2 located on the right side of the top of the conveyor belt. It will either fall directly into the gap 3 or fall onto the egg-receiving plate 2 and then roll into the gap 3. Afterwards, as the right-side conveyor belt moves downwards, when the egg reaches the egg guide device, it rolls along it onto the worktable 4. The egg-collecting claw structure of this application is relatively simple and has a low cost.

[0015] Furthermore, the recess 21 includes a guide edge 212, which is parallel to the extension direction of the egg catcher 2. The egg will not fall down between two adjacent guide edges 212. At the guide edge 212, the net force on the egg is zero, so it can stay there.

[0016] Furthermore, the recess 21 has a front inclined edge 211 on the side of the guide edge 212 away from the substrate 1. The front inclined edge 211 gradually approaches the adjacent egg-collecting plate 2 in a direction from close to to far away from the substrate 1. When the egg falls on the front inclined edge 211, it will roll along the two adjacent front inclined edges 211 towards the guide edge 212. Under the action of inertia, it can continue to roll a distance along the guide edge 212, thus getting closer to the conveyor belt. When the egg is lifted to the top of the conveyor belt by the egg-collecting claw, the egg-collecting claw will tilt, causing the egg to roll to the top of the conveyor belt. Since the egg is closer to the conveyor belt, the falling distance is also smaller, so the egg is less likely to break.

[0017] Furthermore, the recess 21 has a rear inclined edge 213 on the side of the guide edge 212 near the substrate 1. The rear inclined edge 213 gradually moves away from the adjacent egg-collecting plate 2 in the direction from near to far from the substrate 1. When the egg-collecting claw on the right side is in a horizontal position, due to the presence of the rear inclined edge 213, the egg cannot stay at the rear inclined edge 213 but will stay at the guide edge 212, resulting in a larger gap between the egg and the conveyor belt. This makes it easier for the upper left end of the egg guide device to reach the lower left side of the egg.

[0018] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
