Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of egg sorting technology, and in particular to an egg sorting isolation tray. Background Technology
[0002] Eggs are a highly nutrient-dense food found in nature. Their amino acid composition closely matches human needs, and their digestibility and absorption rate far exceeds that of plant protein. They contain minerals such as iron, zinc, and selenium, with lecithin being particularly beneficial for nervous system development and memory enhancement. Eggs are a nutritious food suitable for all ages. From a consumption perspective, eggs can be cooked in various and convenient ways. Boiled eggs retain all their nutrients and are a quick and easy breakfast choice. Fried eggs are fragrant and often paired with toast and noodles. Egg liquid can be used in baking to increase fluffiness or to make egg drop soup for a smooth texture. Furthermore, eggs are affordable and easy to store, making them a staple on family tables and a fundamental ingredient in restaurant cuisine for enhancing flavor and nutrition, holding an irreplaceable position in global culinary culture.
[0003] Egg sorting is a crucial step in ensuring egg quality and efficient distribution. It primarily involves manual labor and automated equipment to grade, screen, and process eggs. Sorting is based on weight, size, shell integrity, and cleanliness, while broken, cracked, dirty, and deformed eggs are removed to ensure that eggs entering the market meet safety and quality standards. However, eggs often collide during sorting, leading to breakage. With technological advancements, isolation trays are specifically designed to protect eggs during sorting and transport. Their core function is to individually secure each egg through a unique groove structure, preventing breakage caused by collisions and compression. These trays are typically made of food-grade plastic, with grooves sized to match different egg sizes. Ventilation holes on the bottom and sides prevent rolling while maintaining airflow, reducing the risk of spoilage due to moisture. However, these isolation trays occupy considerable space, are inconvenient to transport, and can only hold a limited number of eggs, resulting in low sorting efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an egg sorting isolation tray, which aims to improve the problems of existing isolation trays occupying a large space, being inconvenient to transport, storing a small number of eggs, and having low sorting efficiency.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an egg sorting and isolation tray, including a tray, an adjustment mechanism is provided on the front side of the tray, the adjustment mechanism is used to fold multiple storage boxes, a baffle mechanism is provided on the top of the tray, the baffle mechanism is used to block eggs, a buffer mechanism is provided on the bottom of the tray, and multiple circular holes are provided on the right side of the tray. The adjustment mechanism includes a first fixed plate, the rear side of which is fixedly connected to the front side of the tray. A first rotating plate is rotatably connected to the bottom of the first fixed plate. A pull block is rotatably connected to the front side of the first rotating plate. A second rotating plate is rotatably connected to the bottom of the first rotating plate. A second fixed plate is rotatably connected to the bottom of the second rotating plate. A bolt is threaded to the right side of the first fixed plate. A limit component is provided on the rear bottom side of the first fixed plate. An elastic component is provided on the rear side of the tray.
[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution: The baffle mechanism includes multiple locking posts, the outer walls of which are slidably connected to the right side of the tray. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the right side of each locking post, and a pulling block is fixedly connected to the right side of the connecting plate near the middle. Multiple spring-loaded components are provided at the front and rear ends of the right side of the connecting plate, and a partition assembly is provided on the top of the tray.
[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: The limiting component includes a limiting rod one, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the rear top of the fixing plate two, and a fixing cover is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting rod one.
[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: The elastic component includes a second limiting rod, the outer wall of which is slidably connected to the rear side of the tray, and a first spring is slidably connected to the outer wall of the second limiting rod.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: The rebound assembly includes a sliding column, the outer wall of which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting plate, and a second spring is slidably connected to the outer wall of the sliding column. The left side of the second spring is fixedly connected to the right side of the connecting plate.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: The partition assembly includes a barrier plate, the outer wall of which is slidably connected to the top of the tray, and a spring three is fixedly connected to the bottom of the barrier plate, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the top of the tray.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: The buffer mechanism includes a square frame, the top of which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tray, and multiple damping springs are fixedly connected to the bottom of the square frame. A sponge pad is fixedly connected to the bottom of each damping spring.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: The bottom of the second fixing plate is fixedly connected to a base, which is used to support the whole.
[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this utility model, the pull block will drive the rotating plate one and the rotating plate two to move outward. At this time, the distance between the two trays will be shortened. At the same time, the fixed plate one will slide on the outer wall of the limiting rod one, and the upper tray will move along the limiting rod two. At the same time, the tray will squeeze the spring one, causing it to deform. When the lower egg is squeezed against the sponge pad, the sponge pad moves along the square frame and squeezes the shock-absorbing spring to buffer it. This realizes that the two trays can be folded up, which is convenient for carrying and saves space, while protecting the eggs. 2. In this utility model, when placing eggs, first place the eggs on the top of the tray, then pull the pulling block outwards. The pulling block can then drive the connecting plate and the locking post to move outwards. At the same time, the locking post moves away from the circular hole and the hole on the barrier plate. At this time, the third spring returns to its original position, lifting the barrier plate. Then, the pulling block is released. Under the action of the second spring, the connecting plate and the locking post return to their original position, locking the tray and the barrier plate back in place. This achieves the function of blocking the eggs and preventing them from bumping against each other. Attached Figure Description

[0021] Working principle: First, the eggs are sorted onto the top of tray 1. When both trays 1 are full, pull block 203 is pulled. Pull block 203 will move rotating plate 1 202 and rotating plate 204 outward, shortening the distance between the two trays 1. At the same time, fixed plate 1 201 will slide on the outer wall of limit rod 1 2071, and the upper tray 1 will move along limit rod 2081. Simultaneously, tray 1 will compress spring 1 2082, causing it to deform. When the lower layer of eggs is pressed against the sponge pad 403, the sponge pad 403 moves along the square frame 401, compressing the shock-absorbing spring 402 for cushioning. After moving to the appropriate position, bolt 206 is screwed between fixed plate 1 201 and fixed plate 205. This facilitates transportation and allows the two trays 1 to be folded up for easy carrying and space saving, while also protecting the eggs. When placing eggs, first place the eggs on top of tray 1, then pull the pull block 303 outward. The pull block 303 will then move the connecting plate 302 and the locking post 301 outward. At the same time, the locking post 301 will move away from the circular hole 5 and the hole on the barrier plate 3051. At this time, the spring 3052 will return to its original position and lift the barrier plate 3051. Then, release the pull block 303. Under the action of the spring 3042, the connecting plate 302 and the locking post 301 will return to their original position and lock back onto tray 1 and barrier plate 3051. This achieves the function of blocking the eggs and preventing them from bumping against each other.
