[0017] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby providing a clearer and more definite definition of the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] Example: Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment proposes an egg product inkjet printer, including: a body 1, a support 2 and an ink cartridge 3. One end of the support 2 is bolted with an inkjet component 4 for inkjet printing on eggs. An adjustment component 5 for adjusting the inkjet printing height is slidably installed on the inner side wall of the body 1. A conveying component 6 for assisting in inkjet printing on eggs is bolted to the bottom of the body 1. The inkjet component 4 is located outside the body 1 and at the top of the conveying component 6. The coding assembly 4 includes a coding box 401 bolted to one end of the bracket 2. A spring 402 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the coding box 401, and a washer 403 is bolted to the other end of the spring 402. Two sets of washer 403 are symmetrically arranged on the inner side of the coding box 401, and the opposing surfaces of the two sets of washer 403 are tightly fitted to the outer wall of the ink cartridge 3. When performing egg coding operation, the ink cartridge 3 is placed in the coding box 401. Due to the elasticity of the spring 402, the two sets of washer 403 will adaptively adjust according to the shape of the outer wall of the ink cartridge 3 and fit tightly against the outside of the ink cartridge 3. During the coding process, the coding box 401 obtains ink through the ink cartridge 3 to code the egg. The combination design of the spring 402 and washer 403 can ensure the stability of the ink cartridge 3 in the coding box 401 and avoid the ink cartridge 3 from shifting position due to machine vibration or improper operation.

[0019] like Figures 1-5As shown, the adjustment assembly 5 includes a baffle 501 bolted to the inner wall of the body 1. A first motor 502 is bolted to the wall of the baffle 501 facing the inside of the body 1 via a rectangular block. A screw 503 is installed at the output end of the first motor 502. A moving rod 504 is slidably installed on the screw 503 via a slider. A guide rod 505 is fixedly connected in the groove on the baffle 501, and an annular block 506 is rotatably installed on the guide rod 505. The other end of the bracket 2 is fixedly connected to the annular block 506. When the inkjet printing height of the egg product needs to be adjusted, the first motor 502 is started. The first motor 502 drives the screw 503 to rotate. The rotation of the screw 503 causes the moving rod 504 to move along the axial direction of the screw 503. As the moving rod 504 rises, it lifts one end of the bracket 2, and the other end rotates around the hinge point of the annular block 506. By adjusting the lifting height of the moving rod 504, the inkjet printing height can be adjusted. The guide rod 505 ensures the stability of the moving rod 504 during the lifting process, avoids shaking, and ensures the inkjet printing accuracy.

[0020] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the conveying assembly 6 includes a base 601 bolted to the bottom of the machine body 1. A second motor 602 is bolted to one side of the base 601. A first rotating shaft 603 is mounted on the output end of the second motor 602. A second rotating shaft 604 is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the base 601, and a conveyor belt 605 is tensioned between the first rotating shaft 603 and the second rotating shaft 604. When eggs need to be conveyed, the second motor 602 starts, driving the first rotating shaft 603 to rotate. Through the tensioned conveyor belt 605, the power is transmitted to the second rotating shaft 604, causing the conveyor belt 605 to continuously circulate. The eggs placed on the conveyor belt 605 are then smoothly conveyed, passing through the coding station in sequence, facilitating subsequent coding work, ensuring the smooth operation of the entire egg coding process, and improving production efficiency.

[0021] like Figures 3-5 As shown, a support rod 7 is bolted to the inner side of the base 601, and several sets of support rods 7 are evenly distributed between the first rotating shaft 603 and the second rotating shaft 604. Limiting grooves 8 are opened on both sides of the baffle 501, and the moving rod 504 slides within the limiting grooves 8. The support rods 7 provide uniform support under the conveyor belt 605, ensuring that the conveyor belt 605 does not sag excessively when carrying a large number of eggs, maintaining the flatness of the conveying plane, thereby ensuring the stability of egg conveying and coding position.

[0022] like Figures 1-5As shown, a stop block 9 is hinged to the inner wall of the inkjet cartridge 401, and the stop block 9 is located on top of the ink cartridge 3. When installing the ink cartridge 3, the stop block 9 can be rotated around the hinge point to open it; after installation, the stop block 9 can be flipped back to above the ink cartridge 3 to prevent the ink cartridge 3 from falling off from above due to vibration during equipment operation or in case of accidents. This not only improves the reliability of the ink cartridge 3's fixation but also further enhances the stability of the inkjet printing of the ink cartridge 3.

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the guide rod 505 is located on one side of the moving rod 504, the bracket 2 is inclined, and the end of the bracket 2 away from the guide rod 505 is placed on the top of the moving rod 504. The guide rod 505 guides and positions the movement of the moving rod 504, ensuring that the moving rod 504 can move along a predetermined trajectory.

[0024] like Figures 1-5 As shown, six sets of inkjet printers 401 are evenly distributed on one side of the machine body 1. Each inkjet printer 401 has an inkjet nozzle 10 at its bottom, which is matched with the ink outlet at the bottom of the ink cartridge 3. During egg transport, the six evenly distributed inkjet printers 401 operate according to a preset program. The ink in the ink cartridge 3 is precisely ejected through the ink outlet at the bottom and the matched inkjet nozzle 10, forming the required coding information on the egg surface. This allows for simultaneous coding of multiple eggs in a row, significantly improving the efficiency of mass production and greatly enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of egg coding.

[0025] Working Principle: This utility model provides an egg product inkjet printer. The specific operating steps are as follows: Step 1: When performing egg product inkjet printing, place the ink cartridge 3 inside the inkjet box 401. Due to the elasticity of the spring 402, the two sets of pads 403 will adaptively adjust according to the shape of the outer wall of the ink cartridge 3, tightly fitting against the outside of the ink cartridge 3. During the inkjet printing process, the inkjet box 401 obtains ink through the ink cartridge 3 to print the egg product. The combined design of the spring 402 and pads 403 ensures the stability of the ink cartridge 3 within the inkjet box 401, preventing the ink cartridge 3 from shifting position due to machine vibration or improper operation. Step 2: When it is necessary to adjust the egg product printing height, start the first motor 502. The first motor 502 drives the screw 503 to rotate. The rotation of the screw 503 will cause the moving rod 504 to move along the axial direction of the screw 503. As the moving rod 504 rises, it lifts one end of the bracket 2, while the other end rotates around the hinge point of the annular block 506. By adjusting the lifting height of the moving rod 504, the coding height can be adjusted. The guide rod 505 ensures the stability of the moving rod 504 during the lifting process, avoiding shaking and ensuring coding accuracy. Step 3: The second motor 602 starts, driving the first rotating shaft 603 to rotate. Through the tensioned conveyor belt 605, the power is transmitted to the second rotating shaft 604, causing the conveyor belt 605 to continuously circulate. The eggs placed on the conveyor belt 605 are then smoothly transported and pass through the coding station in sequence. When the eggs move with the conveyor belt 605 to directly below the coding box 401, the coding machine receives a trigger signal. Each coding box 401 sprays ink onto the surface of the eggs through the inkjet hole 10 at the bottom according to the preset program, completing the coding.

[0026] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0027] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
