Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of egg production technology, specifically to an egg tray collection device. Background Technology

[0002] In the large-scale egg testing and processing industry, feed trays, as the core carriers for egg transfer and temporary storage, are widely used in breeding bases, egg processing plants and other scenarios. In the traditional processing process, feed trays need to carry eggs to complete multiple processes such as cleaning, grading and quality inspection. After the eggs on the feed trays are removed one by one by machinery or manually and transported to the egg collection point, the recycling of empty feed trays has long relied on manual operation.

[0003] Egg processing lines are mostly continuous operations, and empty trays need to be collected in a timely manner in accordance with the production line rhythm. Manual collection requires operators to be on duty continuously. Frequent bending over and moving trays can easily lead to a sharp increase in labor intensity, and long-term repetitive work can easily cause fatigue, thereby reducing collection efficiency and making it difficult to match the high-speed operation requirements of modern production lines. On the other hand, the standardization of manual collection depends on the experience and sense of responsibility of the operators. When the trays are stacked, problems such as misalignment and tilting are easy to occur. This not only occupies a lot of workshop storage space, but may also damage the trays due to unstable stacking, increasing production costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an egg tray collection device, comprising an operating table, a transfer component horizontally installed at the center line of the operating table surface, and receiving components distributed at both ends of the transfer component, and a pre-cooling component installed in the middle of the transfer component and located between the receiving components; the pre-cooling component includes a pair of support plates, each with an inner plate fixed on its opposite side, and an upper plate fixed on its top opposite the corresponding inner plate, the width of the upper plate being smaller than the width of the inner plate; the receiving component includes a lifting part, a lifting plate fixed on the top of the lifting part, two pairs of support plates fixed on the top of the lifting plate, a bearing plate fixed between each pair of support plates, and a tray box placed between the bearing plates.

[0007] Furthermore, a push cylinder is slidably mounted on the inner side of the mounting block, the piston rod of the push cylinder is fixed to the inner top wall of the mounting block, and the guide wheel is mounted on the bottom of the push cylinder.

[0008] Furthermore, the lifting unit includes a base frame fixed to the bottom of the operating table and multiple guide columns at the top. A belt-driven screw device is installed on the base frame. The lifting end of the belt-driven screw device is fixed with a top plate that passes through the operating table. The top plate is fixed to the bottom of the lifting plate. The lifting plate passes through the guide columns, and a limit plate is fixed between the tops of the opposing guide columns.

[0018] 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.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-4 This embodiment of an egg tray collection device includes an operating table 1. A transfer component 3 is horizontally fixed at the center line of the operating table 1. Receiving components 2 are installed at both ends of the transfer component 3 on the top of the operating table 1. A pre-cooling component 4 is fixed at the middle of the top of the operating table 1 between the two sets of receiving components 2. A tray box 5 is placed on the receiving component 2. An empty tray box 5 is placed on the left receiving component 2, and a tray filled with eggs is placed in the tray box on the right receiving component 2. Through the cooperation of the transfer component and the right receiving component, the tray carrying the eggs can be moved out of the corresponding tray box and transferred to the pre-cooling component to wait for the eggs to be removed in the process. Then, through the cooperation of the transfer component and the left receiving component, the empty tray can be transferred to the tray box for collection, thereby realizing the fully automated operation of empty tray collection, without the need for continuous operator supervision and manual handling, effectively solving the problem of high labor intensity of manual collection.

[0020] like Figure 2 The receiving assembly 2 includes two sets of base frames 21 fixed to the bottom of the operating platform 1. Each base frame 21 is equipped with a belt-driven lead screw device 22. The belt-driven lead screw device 22 includes a drive motor, a pulley set, a lead screw, and a lead screw nut. A connecting block is fixed to the outside of the lead screw nut. The connecting block is slidably connected to the base frame 21. A top plate 23 that passes through the operating platform 1 is fixed to the connecting block. Four guide columns 24 are also fixed to the top of the operating platform 1. A lifting plate 25 that passes through the guide columns 24 is fixed to the top of the top plate 23. The belt-driven lead screw device can drive the top plate to rise and fall, and the top plate in turn drives the lifting plate to rise and fall. During the rising and falling process... The guide columns ensure that the lifting plate 25 is stable and does not deviate during the lifting process. A limit plate is fixed between the tops of the two sets of guide columns 24 to limit the upward movement of the lifting plate. Two pairs of support plates 26 are fixed to the top of the lifting plate 25. An L-shaped bearing plate 27 is fixed between the tops of each pair of support plates 26. The two sets of bearing plates are used to support the material tray box 5. Baffles are fixed on both the front and rear sides of the bearing plate 27. The baffles can limit the circumferential movement of the material tray box 5 to prevent the material tray box 5 from deviating. A wheel limit switch 28 is installed at the bottom of the bearing plate 27. The wheel of the wheel limit switch 28 contacts the bottom of the material tray box 5 to detect whether a material tray box is placed on the bearing plate.

[0021] like Figure 3The transfer component 3 includes four sets of upright plates 31 fixed on the operating table 1. The four sets of upright plates 31 are on the same axis. A linear module 32 is installed between the tops of the upright plates 31. The moving end of the linear module 32 is fixedly connected to a transfer plate 33. Driven by the linear module, the transfer plate can move back and forth between the support plate and the pre-conditioning component. With the lifting and lowering of the receiving component, the transfer plate can transfer the material tray on the right to the pre-conditioning component to complete the egg retrieval operation. After retrieval, the empty material tray can be transferred to the receiving component on the left. With the lifting and lowering of the receiving component, the stacking and collection are completed.

[0022] like Figure 4 The pre-conditioning component 4 includes support plates 41 fixed on the operating table 1 and located on the front and rear sides of the linear module 32. An inner plate 42 is fixed on one side of each of the two support plates 41. The inner plate is used to support the edge of the empty material tray. An upper plate 43 with a width smaller than the inner plate 42 is fixed on the top of the support plate 41. Its bottom and the top of the inner plate 42 form a channel for the material tray to pass through. An mounting block 44 is fixed on the top of the upper plate 43. A push cylinder 45 is slidably installed on the inner side of the mounting block 44. The piston rod of the push cylinder 45 is fixed to the inner top wall of the mounting block 44. A guide wheel 46 is installed at the bottom of the cylinder body of the push cylinder 45. The guide wheel can pass through the upper plate. The operation of the push cylinder 45 can drive the guide wheel 46 to move up and down, adjust the distance between the guide wheel 46 and the inner plate 42, adapt to material trays of different thicknesses, and at the same time, the guide wheel 46 can reduce the frictional resistance and downward positioning when the material tray is transferred.

[0023] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0024] In the initial state of the equipment, an empty material tray is placed on the support plate of the left receiving component, and a material tray containing an egg tray is placed on the support plate of the right receiving component. Both sets of material trays are circumferentially limited by baffles on the front and rear sides of the support plate to prevent displacement. The limit switches of the wheels at the bottom of the support plate contact the bottom of the material trays to detect their presence. At this time, the belt-driven screw device in the receiving component is in its initial position, and the height of the lifting plate and the support plate is matched with the moving plate of the transfer component, preparing for the transfer of the material trays. When the equipment starts... When the material handling process begins, the linear module moves the transfer plate to a position below the right-side tray box. The right-side receiving component operates, and the belt-driven screw mechanism moves, lifting the top plate. The top plate synchronously drives the lifting plate downwards along four guide pillars. The guide pillars ensure stable lifting without deviation. The lowest tray in the tray box contacts the transfer plate of the transfer component and separates from the tray box. Subsequently, the linear module of the transfer component moves the transfer plate, transferring the tray containing the eggs to the channel between the inner and upper plates. Simultaneously, the push cylinder drives the guide wheel downwards. This allows the guide rollers to contact the top of the tray, reducing frictional resistance during transfer and positioning the tray downwards. The tray awaits the egg-retrieving process. After egg retrieval, the linear module of the transfer assembly restarts, driving the transfer plate to remove the empty tray from the pre-waiting assembly. It then moves towards the left receiving assembly. At this time, the belt-driven screw device of the left receiving assembly drives the lifting plate downwards, aligning the top of the empty tray box on the support plate with the height of the transfer plate. The transfer plate then feeds the empty tray into the left empty tray box. Each time an empty tray is placed, the left support... The lifting plate of the receiving component is driven by a belt-driven screw device to raise the bearing plate by the thickness of one tray, reserving space for the next empty tray to be placed. The right receiving component gradually descends as the tray is removed, while the left receiving component gradually rises as the empty tray is placed. The linear module of the transfer component drives the transfer plate to move back and forth between the right receiving component, the pre-waiting component, and the left receiving component. The components work together to realize the automatic transfer of egg trays and the stacking and collection of empty trays. No manual operation or handling is required throughout the process, effectively reducing the intensity of manual labor.
