Detailed Implementation

[0026] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered to be exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0027] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, provides a more detailed account of a multi-stage flexible egg sorting device.

[0028] like Figures 1-8As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a multi-level flexible egg sorting device, including a conveyor frame 100 for conveying eggs to be sorted. The upper end of the conveyor frame 100 is provided with a detection unit 300 for scanning and distinguishing eggs, and a feeding platform 400 for unloading sorted eggs is provided on one side of the conveyor frame 100.

[0029] The inspection unit 300 includes a mounting frame 310 fixedly installed on one side of the conveyor frame 100 for support and an inspection head 340 set on the upper end of the mounting frame 310 for inspecting the size and quality of eggs. On the other side of the mounting frame 310, there is a pusher plate 320 for pushing the eggs down. The pusher plate 320 is pushed by a pusher cylinder 330 installed on one side. The pusher cylinder 330 is installed on the upper end of the mounting frame 310 and is fastened with a nut.

[0030] By setting up a detection unit 300 on the conveyor rack 100 and using a detection head 340 to scan and identify the physical parameters of eggs, such as size, in real time, the grade of the eggs can be determined, providing reliable data support for subsequent differentiated sorting. This effectively improves the accuracy and consistency of sorting and avoids subjective errors caused by manual sorting. The device integrates conveying, detection, pushing, and unloading, realizing a fully automated process from loading to sorting and unloading. After detection, the pushing cylinder 330 drives the pushing plate 320 to move, accurately pushing eggs that meet specific grades to the unloading table 400, reducing manual intervention and significantly improving sorting efficiency and production line continuity. By setting different grade standards, the control system can flexibly control the timing and position of the pushing cylinder 330 according to the detection results, realizing multi-level sorting. It is suitable for classifying and processing eggs of different specifications, meeting the market demand for high-quality, differentiated egg products. The pushing plate 320 is designed with a flexible contact structure. With the precise control of the cylinder, the pushing process is stable and controllable, avoiding collision or squeezing damage to the eggs, effectively ensuring the integrity of the eggs during the sorting process and reducing the breakage rate.

[0031] The pusher plate 320 is arranged in an arc shape and has a buffer pad on the inner side for cushioning and protection. The buffer pad on the inner side of the pusher plate 320 is made of flexible material (such as silicone or rubber) and can play a good cushioning role when in contact with eggs, avoiding eggshell breakage or hidden cracks caused by rigid collisions, significantly improving the egg integrity rate during the sorting process. The arc shape can limit the position of the eggs and prevent them from slipping.

[0032] A connecting pipe 321 for connection and fixation is fixedly installed on one side of the pusher plate 320. The telescopic end of the pusher cylinder 330 is provided with a threaded head 331 for connection. The threaded head 331 is threaded inside the connecting pipe 321. The threaded head 331 of the pusher cylinder 330 and the connecting pipe 321 on the pusher plate 320 are connected by a threaded connection. The structure is simple and the connection is firm. It can effectively transmit the linear thrust of the pusher cylinder 330, ensure that the pusher plate 320 does not loosen during reciprocating motion, and facilitate the replacement of different pusher plates 320.

[0033] The upper end of the detection head 340 is provided with a threaded head 350 for fixing it. Two sets of nuts are threaded on the upper end of the threaded head 350, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the mounting bracket 310 to clamp the threaded head 350. The threaded head 350, together with the upper and lower sets of nuts, clamps the mounting bracket 310, forming a rigid connection between the detection head 340 and the mounting bracket 310. This effectively prevents loosening or displacement caused by vibration or impact during equipment operation, ensuring that the detection head 340 maintains a precise position during long-term operation, improving detection stability and reliability. The threaded structure allows the height and angle of the detection head 340 to be finely adjusted by rotating the threaded head 350 and locking it with the nuts. On-site installation, positioning, and calibration can be completed quickly, adapting to the detection height requirements of eggs of different sizes, improving the assembly efficiency and debugging flexibility of the equipment.

[0034] The upper end of the conveyor frame 100 is equipped with a limiting roller 110 for conveying eggs. The limiting roller 110 is concave to facilitate limiting the eggs. The limiting roller 110 is installed on the upper end of the moving belt inside the conveyor frame 100 by a bracket. The limiting roller 110 adopts a concave structure design, and its arc concave surface matches the curved shape of the egg. It can flexibly wrap and limit the egg from both sides, effectively preventing the egg from rolling off course or colliding with each other during the conveying process, ensuring that it maintains a stable posture during the conveying process, and providing a guarantee for subsequent accurate detection.

[0035] Both ends of the limiting roller 110 are equipped with rotating gears 111 for driving its rotation. Both sides of the conveyor frame 100 are fixedly installed with racks 120 for driving the rotating gears 111 to rotate. The rotating gears 111 and racks 120 mesh and drive each other. When the conveyor frame 100 is running, the limiting roller 110 rotates automatically with the conveying process to achieve rolling contact with the surface of the egg, which facilitates the detection at the top. The rotation of the limiting roller 110 is achieved by the movement of the conveyor frame 100 driving the meshing of the rotating gears 111 and racks 120. It is a mechanical self-drive structure, which reduces the complexity of the system and the maintenance cost, while improving the overall reliability of operation. Both ends of the limiting roller 110 are equipped with rotating gears 111, which mesh with the racks 120 on both sides respectively, to ensure that the two ends of the limiting roller 110 rotate synchronously, avoiding uneven torque or shaft tilting caused by unilateral drive, and extending the service life of the limiting roller 110 and the support structure.

[0036] A spotlight 130 for illuminating the eggs is provided at the upper end of the conveyor 100. The spotlight 130 is located at the lower end of the limiting roller 110 and corresponds to the position of the detection head 340. The spotlight 130 is located below the limiting roller 110 and can provide directional illumination from the bottom or lower side when the eggs are conveyed to the detection area. This effectively eliminates shadows and ambient light interference, significantly improves the uniformity and contrast of the illumination on the egg surface, and provides strong support for the detection head 340 to obtain clear and stable images or spectral data, thereby improving detection accuracy. The spotlight 130 and the detection head 340 are spatially corresponding to ensure that the eggs are in the optimal illumination area when the detection head 340 is scanning. The bottom or lower side illumination method is conducive to the transmission or scattering effect of light through the eggshell, which helps the detection system capture information about the internal structure of the egg (such as the size of the air cell, blood spots, etc.). Combined with the external morphology detection, it is convenient to judge the quality of the eggs in the subsequent process.

[0037] A processing table 200 for pre-processing eggs is provided on one side of the conveyor 100. Inside the processing table 200 is a rotating frame 210 for rotating and agitating the eggs. The rotating frame 210 is driven by a drive wheel 240 on one side. The drive wheel 240 and the rotating frame 210 are driven by a belt. A surrounding plate 220 for agitating the eggs is installed around the upper end of the rotating frame 210. The rotating frame 210 drives the surrounding plate 220 to rotate continuously, agitating the eggs entering the processing table 200 in an orderly manner. This allows the eggs to complete posture adjustment and surface flipping before entering the detection area, effectively eliminating the problem of fixed orientation of the eggs during the conveying process. This ensures that the eggs enter the detection station with a stable and uniform posture, providing a guarantee for the full scanning of the detection head 340. This allows the eggs to automatically enter the pre-processing area during the conveying process, completing the arrangement and posture adjustment.

[0038] A soft brush 230 is provided at the upper end of the surrounding plate 220 to protect the egg. The end mounting plate of the soft brush 230 is embedded in the surrounding plate 220 and fixed by screws. The soft brush 230 is located at the top of the surrounding plate 220 and directly contacts the surface of the egg. During the rotation and turning process, the soft brush 230 applies a uniform and gentle force to avoid damage or microcracks to the eggshell caused by rigid contact, significantly reducing the breakage rate in the pre-treatment process and ensuring the integrity of the egg. The screw fixing method allows the soft brush 230 to be installed modularly. When the soft brush 230 is worn or contaminated, it can be quickly disassembled and replaced or cleaned.

[0039] Multiple sets of baffles 410 are evenly arranged on the upper end of the feeding platform 400. The baffles 410 are movably installed inside the slots opened on the upper end of the feeding platform 400 and are driven by a drive motor set on one side. The upper end of the baffles 410 is covered with a protective soft pad 420 to protect the eggs from breakage. The protective soft pad 420 is wavy, and the baffles 410 open intermittently from top to bottom. Multiple sets of baffles 410 open intermittently from top to bottom to form a step-by-step release control mode, which can effectively control the falling rhythm of the eggs and prevent the accumulation, squeezing or collision caused by multiple eggs falling at the same time, thereby improving the controllability and safety of the feeding process. The wavy protective soft pad 420 covering the upper end of the baffles 410 is made of elastic material (such as silicone or soft rubber) and can provide cushioning protection when the eggs come into contact with the baffles 410.

[0040] The working principle of a multi-level flexible egg sorting device is as follows: By setting a detection unit 300 on the conveyor rack 100, the detection head 340 scans and identifies the physical parameters of the eggs, such as size, in real time, which can determine the grade of the eggs and provide reliable data support for subsequent differentiated sorting. This effectively improves the accuracy and consistency of sorting and avoids subjective errors caused by manual sorting. The device integrates conveying, detection, pushing, and unloading, realizing a fully automated process from loading to sorting and unloading. After detection, the pushing cylinder 330 drives the pushing plate 320 to move, separating the eggs that meet the specific grade. Precisely pushed to the unloading platform 400, reducing manual intervention, significantly improving sorting efficiency and production line continuity. By setting different level standards, the control system can flexibly control the timing and position of the pusher cylinder 330 according to the detection results, realizing multi-level sorting. It is suitable for classifying and processing eggs of different specifications, meeting the market demand for high-quality and differentiated egg products. The pusher plate 320 is designed with a flexible contact structure. Combined with the precise control of the cylinder, the pushing process is stable and controllable, avoiding collision or squeezing damage to the eggs, effectively ensuring the integrity of the eggs during the sorting process and reducing the breakage rate.
