Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of egg production technology, specifically to an egg feeding device. Background Technology
[0002] In the food industry, especially in the production and processing of egg products, clear labeling of eggs is extremely important. In the traditional egg production process, in order to distinguish the variety, production date or other key information of eggs, it is often necessary to print red marks on the eggshell. In the past, this work was mainly done manually. Workers had to hold the eggs and the stamp and press the mark one by one. Manual operation was inefficient and could not meet the needs of large-scale production. On the other hand, long hours of repetitive labor could easily cause worker fatigue, resulting in inaccurate marking positions and uneven marking depth, affecting the overall quality and appearance of the product. In addition, during the manual loading process, eggs were frequently picked up and put down, increasing the risk of collision and breakage, causing unnecessary economic losses. Utility Model Content

[0021] 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 protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-6 This embodiment of an egg feeding device includes an operating table 1, a rotating table 2 mounted on the operating table 1, and a support plate 3 fixedly inserted through the rotating table 2. The rotating table 2 has multiple sets of placement holes 8 for accommodating eggs to be labeled. Each set of placement holes 8 contains four holes. A labeling device 4, which can be positioned above any set of holes, is mounted on the support plate 3 to label the eggs on the rotating table. The labeling device 4 is composed of a support plate, a cylinder, and a labeling block. The operating table 1 also has a feeding assembly 5 for transferring eggs into the placement holes 8. In summary, this device achieves automatic egg feeding and labeling, improving efficiency.
[0023] like Figure 2 A spring 9 is embedded inside the placement hole 8. The spring 9 can provide elastic cushioning for the placed egg, preventing damage caused by hard contact.
[0024] like Figure 4-6The feeding component 5 is used to automatically grab the eggs to be processed and put them into the placement hole 8 of the rotating table 2. The feeding component 5 includes a support platform 51 fixed on the operating table 1. A frame plate assembly is fixed on the top of the support platform 51. The frame plate assembly is used to support the tray for placing the eggs. The frame plate assembly includes a bottom plate 58 fixed on the support platform 51. A concave plate 59 is fixed on the long side of the top of the bottom plate 58, and a baffle 511 is fixed on the short side of the top. The concave plate 59 and the baffle 511 are locked together by screws to form a rectangular frame for accommodating the tray. A side strip 510 is fixed at the center of the concave surface of the concave plate 59, which divides the inner side of the concave plate 59 into an upper slide and a lower slide. The top of the head end of the side strip 510 forms a slope to facilitate the transfer of the tray on the lower slide to the upper slide. An opening is provided at the tail end of the concave plate 59 and a block 520 is locked in the opening by screws. The corresponding frame can be removed by removing the block 520.
[0025] The frame assembly is also equipped with a pusher for transferring the tray. The pusher is used to transfer the removed tray to the lower slide, and then push it to the upper slide to fill with eggs, thus realizing the recycling of the tray. The pusher includes a double-push cylinder 52 fixed to the bottom of the base plate 58. The piston rods at both ends of the double-push cylinder 52 are respectively fixed with a left push plate 53 and a right push plate 54 extending into the rectangular frame. The top of the left push plate 53 forms two sets of T-shaped plates, and the top of the right push plate 54 forms two sets of L-shaped plates. The height of the T-shaped plates is greater than the height of the L-shaped plates. Therefore, the T-shaped plates correspond to the upper slide, and the L-shaped plates correspond to the lower slide. The corresponding baffle 511 has grooves adapted to the T-shaped and L-shaped plates. The groove is reserved for the pre-placement position of the plate, which can improve the smoothness of pushing the tray. Each side of the baffle 511 is equipped with an upper cylinder 55. The piston rod of the upper cylinder 55 is fixed to the upper plate 56 located between the T-shaped and L-shaped plates. The upper plate 56 at the T-shaped plate is limited by the T-shaped plate. The top of the upper plate 56 between the L-shaped plates is fixed with a U-plate 57. When the push cylinder drives the T-shaped plate to move, it can push the tray carrying the eggs to move on the upper slide until it is moved to the inner limit of the U-plate. When the corresponding upper cylinder moves down, it can improve the stability through the U-plate. Then, the double push cylinder drives the L-shaped plate to move, so that the tray is moved into the lower slide, realizing the cycle.
[0026] Additionally, a side plate 512 is fixed to the back of the frame assembly. A bidirectional moving assembly is installed at the bottom of the side plate 512. At least four clamping cylinders 519 are installed at the vertical moving end of the bidirectional transfer component. The bidirectional moving assembly is used to drive the clamping cylinders 519 to move horizontally and vertically, thus picking up and transferring the eggs from the tray into the placement hole 8. The bidirectional moving assembly includes a frame 513 fixed to the bottom of the side plate 512. A pair of guide posts 514 are fixed to the inner side of the frame 513. A push cylinder 515 is installed on the right side. A push plate 516, which is fixed to the piston rod of the push cylinder 515, is passed between the guide posts 514. A top-feeding cylinder 517 is installed on the top of the push plate 516. The piston rod of the top-feeding cylinder 517 is fixed to the top-feeding plate 518. The clamping cylinder 519 is installed at the bottom of the top-feeding plate 518. The push cylinder adjusts the movement of the clamping cylinder by pushing the push plate. The top-feeding cylinder 517 is used to adjust the clamping cylinder to clamp the egg when it is close to the egg and to place the egg when it is close to the placement hole.
[0027] like Figure 1 and 3 The operating table 1 is equipped with a pair of limiting components 6, which are located below the table surface of the rotating table 2. They are used to position the rotating table 2 during labeling and material feeding to ensure that the placement hole 8 is accurately aligned with the labeling device 4 or the clamping cylinder 519. The limiting component 6 includes a T-plate 61 fixed on the operating table 1. A limiting cylinder 62 passing through the operating table 1 is installed at the bottom of the T-plate 61, and a guide block 63 on the left side is fixed on the same axis as the limiting cylinder 62. The piston rod of the limiting cylinder 62 is fixed with a top head 64 that passes through the guide block 63. The rotating table 2 has multiple positioning holes 7 that are adapted to the top head 64. The limiting cylinder 62 can drive the top head 64 to insert into the positioning holes 7 to temporarily lock the rotating table 2.
[0028] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:
[0029] After the equipment is started, the first step is the feeding stage. The operator places the tray filled with eggs to be labeled into the upper slide of the rectangular frame of the frame assembly, which is composed of a base plate, a concave plate, and a baffle. At this time, the double push cylinder drives the T-shaped plate at the top of the left push plate to move, pushing the tray carrying the eggs to move horizontally along the upper slide until the tray is limited by the inner side of the U-plate. The bidirectional moving assembly is then activated, and the push cylinder pushes the push plate to move horizontally along the guide column, sending the clamping cylinder at the bottom of the top conveyor plate directly above the tray. Then, the top conveyor cylinder drives the top conveyor plate to move downward, bringing the clamping cylinder close to the egg and clamping it. After the gripping is completed, the top conveyor cylinder first drives the clamping cylinder to move upward, and then the push cylinder moves it to directly above the placement hole of the rotating table. The top conveyor cylinder moves downward again, the clamping cylinder releases, and the egg falls into the placement hole. At this time, the spring in the placement hole will form an elastic buffer to prevent the egg from making hard contact with the hole wall. This process, while causing breakage, also serves as a buffer for the labeling device. Subsequently, the upper cylinder inside the baffle moves down, stabilizing the tray position via the U-plate and causing the tray after egg removal to move down until the pusher plate aligns with the sliding track. Then, the double pusher cylinders drive the L-shaped plate to move, pushing the tray on the corresponding upper plate into the sliding track until the tray at the very end of the sliding track is moved to the upper plate at the very end. It is then lifted by the corresponding upper cylinder, and eggs are filled in from the outside. The double pusher cylinders then drive the T-shaped plate to move, pushing the tray carrying the eggs forward until it is moved again to below the clamping cylinder, completing the tray cycle. The entire process, through the automated connection of feeding, positioning, labeling, and circulation, significantly improves the efficiency of egg labeling. At the same time, through spring buffering and precise positioning designs, it effectively reduces the egg breakage rate.
