Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of egg picking technology, and more specifically to an egg picking 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 (white part of the egg), and yolk. Eggs are popular because they are rich in nutrients, and in chicken farming, eggs must be collected regularly.
[0003] A Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN219288457U discloses an egg-collecting device, including a hand clamp, a buffer device, a length adjustment device, and a gripping device. The buffer device is mounted on both sides of the inner wall of the hand clamp. One side of the length adjustment device is fixed to one side of the hand clamp by bolts. The gripping device is connected to the other side of the length adjustment device by welding. The length adjustment device includes a first connecting block and a second connecting block. The first connecting block has through holes arranged in a parallel pattern. The second connecting block is inserted into the first connecting block. The second connecting block also has through holes arranged in a parallel pattern, with the through holes in the second connecting block corresponding to the through holes in the first connecting block, and are fixed together by bolts. This egg-collecting device solves the problem that traditional collecting devices cannot adjust the length according to actual conditions, greatly increasing labor intensity and making the collecting process extremely inconvenient.
[0004] However, the above-mentioned picking device uses bolts to fix the first connecting block and the second connecting block, which makes the length adjustment cumbersome and the length cannot be adjusted quickly and flexibly during the picking process. Secondly, the clamping device clamps and fixes the egg with two clamping plates, which is unstable and the egg is easy to fall during the picking process. If the force is not controlled properly, the egg is also easy to break. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an egg-picking device to prevent eggs from falling or breaking due to uneven force.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0007] An egg-collecting device includes a sleeve, an adjusting cylinder slidably connected inside the sleeve, a plurality of adjusting holes evenly distributed axially on one side of the adjusting cylinder, a positioning hole on one side of the sleeve, the positioning hole and the adjusting hole being connected by a locking assembly, a base fixedly connected to the bottom of the adjusting cylinder, a drive rod slidably passing through the adjusting cylinder, the top end of the drive rod extending to the outside of the sleeve and fixedly connected to a push-pull plate, the bottom end of the drive rod extending to the bottom of the base and fixedly connected to a drive seat, three grippers evenly distributed on the outer circumference of the drive seat, the top ends of the grippers being hinged to the side wall of the drive seat, three connecting seats evenly distributed on the bottom circumference of the base, each connecting seat corresponding to one of the grippers, a drive block connecting the connecting seat and the gripper, one end of the drive block being hinged to the connecting seat, and the other end of the drive block being hinged to the gripper near its top end.
[0008] Furthermore, the locking assembly includes a mounting cylinder fixedly connected to the outside of the sleeve, the positioning hole being located inside the mounting cylinder, a locking rod being movably inserted inside the mounting cylinder, one end of the locking rod passing through the positioning hole and extending into the adjustment hole, the other end of the locking rod extending to the outside of the mounting cylinder and being fixedly connected to a toggle plate, a collar being fixedly sleeved on the locking rod, and a spring being connected between the collar and the inner top of the mounting cylinder.
[0009] Furthermore, a groove is formed on the inner side wall of the sleeve, and a slider is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the adjusting cylinder, the slider being slidably connected to the groove.
[0010] Furthermore, the outer side of the sleeve is provided with an anti-slip grip.
[0011] Furthermore, sponge pads are provided on the inner side of the gripper and the bottom of the drive seat.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] In this application, the sleeve and the adjusting cylinder are slidably connected. Multiple adjusting holes are evenly spaced on the adjusting cylinder, allowing for quick fixation of different lengths via a locking assembly. Compared to traditional bolt fixing, this eliminates the tedious step of repeatedly tightening bolts. The device length can be quickly adjusted according to actual needs during the picking process, reducing labor intensity and improving picking efficiency. Three evenly distributed grippers are used, forming a linkage mechanism with the driving block, connecting seat, and driving seat. When the push-pull plate moves the driving rod up and down, the driving seat moves synchronously, pushing the grippers to open or close via the driving block, creating a stable grip on the egg. Compared to the traditional two-grip structure, the three grippers distribute force evenly, resulting in more stable gripping and preventing the egg from falling or breaking due to uneven force.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an egg-collecting device includes a sleeve 1, an adjusting cylinder 2 slidably connected inside the sleeve 1, a plurality of adjusting holes 201 evenly distributed along the axial direction on one side of the adjusting cylinder 2, a positioning hole 101 on one side of the sleeve 1, the positioning hole 101 and the adjusting hole 201 being connected by a locking assembly, a base 3 fixedly connected to the bottom of the adjusting cylinder 2, a drive rod 4 slidably passing through the adjusting cylinder 2, the top end of the drive rod 4 extending to the outside of the sleeve 1 and fixedly connected to a push-pull plate 5, the drive rod... The bottom end of the rod 4 extends to the bottom of the base 3 and is fixedly connected to the drive seat 6. Three grippers 7 are evenly distributed on the outer circumference of the drive seat 6. The top of the grippers 7 is hinged to the side wall of the drive seat 6. Three connecting seats 8 are evenly distributed on the bottom circumference of the base 3. The connecting seats 8 correspond one-to-one with the grippers 7. A drive block 9 is connected between the connecting seat 8 and the grippers 7. One end of the drive block 9 is hinged to the connecting seat 8, and the other end of the drive block 9 is hinged to the gripper 7 near the top.
[0019] The locking assembly includes a mounting cylinder 10 fixedly connected to the outside of the sleeve 1. The positioning hole 101 is located inside the mounting cylinder 10. A locking rod 11 is movably inserted inside the mounting cylinder 10. One end of the locking rod 11 passes through the positioning hole 101 and extends into the adjustment hole 201. The other end of the locking rod 11 extends to the outside of the mounting cylinder 10 and is fixedly connected to a toggle plate 12. A collar 13 is fixedly sleeved on the locking rod 11. A spring 14 is connected between the collar 13 and the top inner side of the mounting cylinder 10.
[0020] A groove 102 is provided on the inner side wall of the sleeve 1, and a slider 21 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the adjusting cylinder 2. The slider 21 is slidably connected to the groove 102. The groove 102 on the inner side of the sleeve 1 cooperates with the slider 21 on the outer side of the adjusting cylinder 2 to ensure that the adjusting cylinder 2 remains stable during sliding, avoids shaking or deviation, and improves the overall structural stability and adjustment accuracy of the device.
[0021] The outer side of the sleeve 1 is provided with an anti-slip grip 15.
[0022] Both the inner side of the gripper 7 and the bottom of the drive seat 6 are provided with sponge pads; the sponge pads have a cushioning and anti-slip function. When gripping an egg, the sponge pads can evenly distribute the gripping force, preventing the egg from breaking due to excessive force; at the same time, the soft material of the sponge pads conforms to the surface of the egg, increasing friction and preventing the egg from slipping during the picking process, further improving the safety and stability of the gripping.
[0023] Working principle:
[0024] When the length of the device needs to be adjusted, pull the actuating plate 12 outward to drive the locking rod 11 to compress the spring 14, so that the locking rod 11 exits the adjustment hole 201 of the adjusting cylinder 2; slide the adjusting cylinder 2 to move in the sleeve 1, and after adjusting to the appropriate length, release the actuating plate 12, the spring 14 returns to its original position, push the locking rod 11 to insert into the corresponding position of the adjustment hole 201, and complete the length fixing.
[0025] When picking up an egg, push the push-pull plate 5 downwards, causing the drive rod 4 and drive seat 6 to move downwards. The drive block 9 rotates outwards due to the hinge structure, pushing the gripper 7 to open outwards around the hinge point at the top of the drive seat 6, creating enough space to accommodate the egg. Align the opened gripper 7 with the egg, pull the push-pull plate 5 upwards, causing the drive seat 6 to move upwards. The drive block 9 rotates inwards, pulling the gripper 7 to close inwards around the hinge point. The three grippers 7 evenly clamp the egg, and the inner sponge pad adheres to the egg surface, achieving stable clamping. Push the push-pull plate downwards again, the grippers 7 open, and the egg naturally falls to the designated position.
[0026] The length adjustment of this utility model achieves rapid positioning through a locking component, requiring no tools and adapting to the height requirements of different picking scenarios; the push-pull plate links the opening and closing of the grippers, making operation simple and labor-saving, and significantly improving picking efficiency; the three-grip uniform force structure, combined with the sponge pad, ensures clamping stability and prevents the egg from breaking or slipping, solving the shortcomings of the traditional two-grip picking structure.
