Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of egg processing technology, specifically to an egg tray conveying device with adjustable spacing. Background Technology

[0002] Poultry eggs have fragile shells that are easily broken by collisions, squeezing, or vibration. Therefore, egg trays are used to hold poultry eggs before they leave the factory. Their main functions include fixing the eggs with grooves to reduce collisions, facilitating transportation, carrying, storage, and display.

[0003] During egg processing, a conveyor system is used to transport eggs and egg trays to a designated location. During this process, the egg trays may shift or rotate due to equipment vibration, affecting the accuracy of subsequent processing equipment in positioning the eggs. There is also the possibility that external forces may cause the egg trays to slip off the conveyor system, resulting in egg breakage. Existing technologies have not solved this problem.

[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0025] An egg tray conveying device with adjustable spacing includes a conveyor body 1, and two sets of limiting plates 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top of the conveyor body 1.

[0026] By setting up the conveyor body 1, it is mainly used to carry the egg tray and move it in a predetermined direction, realizing the transfer of the egg tray from one processing stage to another. The limiting plates 2 symmetrically set on both sides of its top are mainly used to limit the egg tray laterally during the egg tray transportation process. This can suppress the egg tray from lateral displacement or rotation due to equipment vibration or external force, ensure that the egg tray is stably transported along the center line of the conveyor, prevent the egg tray from slipping off the edge of the conveyor, effectively reduce the risk of poultry eggs breaking due to the egg tray falling, and ensure the safety of the transportation process.

[0027] It also includes an adjustment assembly, which includes two sets of adjustment plates 3. The two sets of adjustment plates 3 are fixedly connected to two sets of limit plates 2 respectively through connecting rods 4. Two sets of slide blocks 5 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the adjustment plate 3. The slide blocks 5 are slidably installed on the surface of the slide rod 6. One end of the slide rod 6 is fixedly installed on the fixing plate 14. The fixing plate 14 is fixedly connected to both sides of the conveyor body 1. The other end of the slide rod 6 is fixedly installed on the fixing frame 15. The fixing frame 15 is fixedly connected to both sides of the conveyor body 1. A base plate 9 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the conveyor body 1.

[0028] By setting an adjustment component, the limit plate 2 can be driven to move, thereby changing the distance between them to adapt to egg trays of different sizes and specifications, while ensuring the stability and convenience of the limiting process. By rotating the handle 20, the adjusting screw 17 is driven to rotate. When the adjusting screw 17 rotates, the moving seat 16 moves linearly along the axis of the adjusting screw 17. The moving seat 16 drives the adjusting plate 3 to move synchronously, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the distance between the limit plates 2. By setting a sliding seat 5 at the bottom of the adjusting plate 3, it can slide freely along the sliding rod 6, providing precise guidance for the movement of the adjusting plate 3 and preventing tilting or jamming during the movement. The two ends of the sliding rod 6 are fixed to the conveyor body 1 by the fixing plate 14 and the fixing frame 15 to ensure structural strength and stability. By setting a locking screw 21, the rotation position of the adjusting screw 17 can be locked by friction to prevent the adjustment component from shifting on its own due to equipment vibration or external force, ensuring that the distance between the limit plates 2 remains stable during the conveying process.

[0029] It also includes a transmission assembly, which includes a rotating rod 7. The middle of the rotating rod 7 is rotatably connected to the base plate 9 through a central rotating seat 8. The two ends of the rotating rod 7 are rotatably connected to one end of two sets of transmission rods 11 through a first rotating seat 10. The other end of the transmission rod 11 is rotatably connected to the bottom of a vertical rod 13 through a second rotating seat 12. The top of the vertical rod 13 is fixedly connected to an adjusting plate 3. A movable seat 16 is fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom of one set of adjusting plates 3. The movable seat 16 is installed on the surface of an adjusting screw 17. One end of the adjusting screw 17 is rotatably installed on a mounting plate 18. The mounting plate 18 is fixedly connected to both sides of the conveyor body 1. The other end of the adjusting screw 17 is rotatably installed on one end of a mounting frame 19. The other end of the mounting frame 19 is fixedly connected to both sides of the conveyor body 1. A rotating handle 20 is rotatably installed on the outside of the mounting frame 19. The rotating handle 20 is fixedly connected to the other end of the adjusting screw 17. A tightening screw 21 is threadedly installed on the top of the other end of the mounting frame 19. The bottom of the tightening screw 21 abuts against the adjusting screw 17.

[0030] By setting up a transmission assembly and utilizing a linkage mechanism consisting of a rotating rod 7, a transmission rod 11, and a vertical rod 13, the unilateral adjustment power can be converted into bilateral symmetrical motion, ensuring that the two sets of limiting plates 2 can move towards or away from each other with the same amplitude. This allows for precise control of the width of the egg tray conveying channel. When one side of the adjusting plate 3 moves with the moving seat 16, the vertical rod 13 connected to it drives the transmission rod 11 to swing through the second rotating seat 12. The transmission rod 11 then drives the rotating rod 7 to rotate around the central rotating seat 8 through the first rotating seat 10. The rotation of the rotating rod 7 causes the transmission rod 11 on the other side to swing in the opposite direction, thereby pushing the vertical rod 13 on the other side and the adjusting plate 3 to move synchronously in the opposite direction. This allows the operator to adjust both sides of the limiting plates 2 simultaneously by simply rotating the rotating handle 20, without the need for separate adjustments, reducing operational complexity. Furthermore, by setting up the transmission assembly, bilateral synchronization is ensured, resulting in high adjustment accuracy and strong stability, significantly improving the reliability of egg tray conveying. Moreover, the rotating pairs of the linkage mechanism only require periodic lubrication with a small amount of grease, simplifying maintenance.

[0031] In practical use, install the device in the designated position. First, according to the size of the egg tray, rotate the rotating handle 20 on the outside of the mounting frame 19 to drive the adjusting screw 17 to rotate, so that the adjusting plate 3 connected to the moving seat 16 slides along the slide rod 6. At the same time, through the rotating rod 7, transmission rod 11 and vertical rod 13 of the transmission assembly, drive the other adjusting plate 3 to move in the opposite direction synchronously, and accurately adjust the distance between the two sets of limiting plates 2. After the adjustment is in place, tighten the locking screw 21 to fix the adjusting screw 17 to prevent vibration from causing deviation. Then start the conveyor body 1, place the egg tray on the conveyor, and the limiting plates 2 on both sides can be stably limited, ensuring that the egg tray is smoothly transported along the center line to the next processing stage.

[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
