Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of product packaging technology, and in particular to a feeding device for egg product packaging equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the egg unloading process in egg packaging mainly includes manual unloading, where eggs are manually placed one by one into the packaging station or conveyor, and then bagged by subsequent equipment. This method is labor-intensive, inefficient, and prone to hygiene and safety hazards due to manual contact, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production. Automated unloading equipment commonly includes conveyor belt systems and rotary egg-holding unloading mechanisms. Conveyor belt systems transport eggs to the unloading port via a conveyor belt, relying on the eggs' own weight to fall. However, eggs are prone to rolling and shifting during transport, causing them to deviate from the bag opening and resulting in missed eggs. Rotary egg-holding unloading mechanisms, while using egg-holding slots on a turntable to hold individual eggs, are prone to shaking due to centrifugal force during turntable rotation, increasing the risk of breakage. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, in order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, this utility model provides a feeding device for egg product packaging equipment, comprising: Second power unit; An egg-containing section, which is designed to hold a single egg, is cylindrical in shape and is driven by a second power device to circulate along a preset trajectory. The tray has an upper surface that contacts the bottom of the egg-holding section. An egg-dropping hole is provided on the upper surface of the tray and is located at a preset position on a preset track. The preset position is above the product packaging station.

[0004] This invention uses a second power device to drive the egg-holding section to circulate along a preset trajectory, thus moving the eggs. Compared to manually placing them one by one, this reduces the labor intensity of the operator. During the movement of the eggs, the egg-holding section can circumferentially limit the movement of each egg, constraining its space and improving the stability of the egg transport process by reducing rolling deviation and shaking.

[0005] Furthermore, the egg-containing part is provided in multiple ways, and the multiple egg-containing parts are arranged along a preset trajectory.

[0006] When some egg-holding sections move to the egg-dispensing hole to complete the feeding, the remaining egg-holding sections simultaneously carry the eggs and convey them to the feeding station. Compared with the intermittent feeding of a single egg-holding section, this increases the amount of eggs conveyed per unit time, making the feeding efficiency match the pace of the large-scale packaging production line.

[0007] Furthermore, the upper surface of the tray has a guide groove arranged along a preset trajectory, and the lower part of the egg-containing portion is placed in the guide groove.

[0008] The physical limiting and guiding structure formed by the guide groove can rigidly constrain the movement trajectory of the egg-holding part. This reduces the vertical shaking and horizontal swaying of the egg-holding part during cyclic movement, thus improving its movement stability.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a feeding mechanism, which includes a fixed feeding cylinder that is fixed to the lower surface of the tray corresponding to the egg dropping hole.

[0010] The fixed guide tube is fixed to the egg-laying hole, forming a guide channel extending from the egg-laying hole to the packaging station. After the egg leaks out of the egg-laying hole, it can slide directly into the packaging bag along the inner wall of the guide tube.

[0011] Furthermore, the material guiding mechanism also includes: A movable guide cylinder, which is fitted onto the lower part of the fixed guide cylinder; The first power unit drives the movable guide cylinder to move along its own axis to enter and exit the packaging bag.

[0012] The movable guide tube can extend and retract along the axis under the drive of the first power unit. When feeding, it can actively extend into the packaging bag. After the movable guide tube extends into the packaging bag, it shortens the distance from the outlet of the guide tube to the landing point inside the bag, reducing the risk of the egg falling to the ground due to the distance between the outlet of the guide tube and the bag opening being too far.

[0013] This utility model has the following advantages: This invention uses a second power device to drive the egg-holding section to circulate along a preset trajectory, thus moving the eggs. Compared to manually placing them one by one, this reduces the labor intensity of the operator. During the movement of the eggs, the egg-holding section can circumferentially limit the movement of each egg, constraining its space and improving the stability of the egg transport process by reducing rolling deviation and shaking.

[0015] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0016] In this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, without necessarily requiring or implying any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0017] As described in the background section, conveyor belt conveying equipment transports eggs to the feeding port via a conveyor belt, relying on the eggs' own gravity to complete the fall. However, eggs are prone to rolling and shifting during the conveying process, causing them to deviate from the opening of the packaging bag during feeding, resulting in the problem of missing eggs. Although the turntable egg-holding and feeding mechanism can carry individual eggs through the egg-holding groove on the turntable, the eggs are prone to shaking due to centrifugal force during the rotation of the turntable, increasing the risk of breakage.

[0018] Example 1: Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art, this embodiment provides a feeding device for egg product packaging equipment, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, the feeding device includes: Second power unit 400; Egg-containing section 200, which is designed to hold a single egg, has a cylindrical structure and is driven by a second power device to circulate along a preset trajectory. Tray 100, the upper surface of which contacts the bottom of the egg-containing section, such as... Figure 5As shown, an egg-laying hole 120 is provided on the upper surface of the tray. The egg-laying hole is set at a preset position on a preset track, which is above the product packaging station.

[0019] The feeding device described in this embodiment is installed at the bagging station of the packaging equipment. In use, an external feeding mechanism (such as a pre-positioned egg sorting conveyor) feeds individual eggs one by one into the cylindrical egg-receiving section. The tray provides vertical support for the egg-receiving section and the eggs inside. The second power unit is activated, driving the egg-receiving section to begin cyclical movement along a preset trajectory (such as a closed-loop trajectory driven by a sprocket mechanism 500 or a synchronous belt drive mechanism). When the egg-receiving section, driven by the second power unit, moves along the preset trajectory to directly above the egg-dropping hole on the upper surface of the tray, it aligns with the hole. Once aligned, the eggs inside the egg-receiving section, losing the support of the tray's upper surface, are released from the section under their own gravity and fall directly into the packaging bag below through the egg-dropping hole, completing a single feeding action.

[0020] In this embodiment, a second power device drives the egg-holding section to circulate along a preset trajectory, thus moving the eggs. Compared to manually placing them one by one, this reduces the labor intensity of the operator. During the egg's movement, the egg-holding section can circumferentially limit the movement of each egg, constraining its space and improving the stability of the egg transport process by reducing rolling deviation and shaking. In this embodiment, the second power device can be a motor.

[0021] For example, there are multiple egg-containing sections, and the multiple egg-containing sections are arranged along a preset trajectory.

[0022] When some egg-holding sections move to the egg-dispensing hole to complete the feeding, the remaining egg-holding sections simultaneously carry the eggs and convey them to the feeding station. Compared with the intermittent feeding of a single egg-holding section, this increases the amount of eggs conveyed per unit time, making the feeding efficiency match the pace of the large-scale packaging production line.

[0023] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, the upper surface of the tray has a guide groove 110 arranged along a preset trajectory, and the lower part of the egg-containing part is placed in the guide groove.

[0024] The physical limiting and guiding structure formed by the guide groove can constrain the movement trajectory of the egg-holding part. This reduces the up-and-down bumping and left-and-right swaying of the egg-holding part during cyclic movement, thus improving its movement stability.

[0025] In addition, the feeding device may also include a guiding mechanism 300, such as Figure 4 As shown, the feeding mechanism includes a fixed feeding cylinder 310, which is fixed to the lower surface of the tray corresponding to the egg dropping hole.

[0026] The fixed guide tube is fixed to the egg-laying hole, forming a guide channel extending from the egg-laying hole to the packaging station. After the egg leaks out of the egg-laying hole, it can slide directly into the packaging bag along the inner wall of the guide tube.

[0027] In this embodiment, the material guiding mechanism may further include: Movable guide cylinder 320, which is fitted onto the lower part of fixed guide cylinder; The first power unit 330 drives the movable guide cylinder to move along its own axis to enter and exit the packaging bag.

[0028] The movable guide tube can extend and retract along the axis under the drive of the first power unit. When feeding, it can actively extend into the packaging bag. After the movable guide tube extends into the packaging bag, it shortens the distance from the outlet of the guide tube to the landing point inside the bag, reducing the risk of the egg falling to the ground due to the distance between the outlet of the guide tube and the bag opening being too far.

[0029] When the feeding device enters the feeding and alignment stage, after the egg-holding part moves to directly above the egg-feeding hole and completes alignment, the first power unit is activated. The first power unit drives the movable guide cylinder to move downward along its own axis, extending from the bottom of the fixed guide cylinder until the lower end of the movable guide cylinder actively extends into the pre-positioned packaging bag below. After the movable guide cylinder is in position, the egg-holding part is exactly at the egg-feeding hole. The egg in the egg-holding part is released through the egg-feeding hole under the action of gravity, first entering the guide channel of the fixed guide cylinder, then sliding down the inner wall of the movable guide cylinder, and finally falling directly into the packaging bag from the outlet of the movable guide cylinder. After a single feeding is completed, the egg is completely in the packaging bag. The first power unit drives the movable guide cylinder to move upward along its axis, retracting back to the initial position and detaching from the packaging bag. At this time, the egg-holding part detaches from the egg-feeding hole under the action of the second power unit, and the cycle repeats. In this embodiment, the first power unit includes, but is not limited to, a cylinder, an electric cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or other devices capable of driving the movable guide cylinder to move linearly.

[0030] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
