Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for feeding eggs to a packaging unit.
  • EP512651 describes an apparatus whereby eggs are fed and conveyed in such manner that in an end step the eggs are transferred from a substantially horizontal feed conveyor, such as a roller conveyor, into a packaging unit, for example, a tray.
  • a substantially horizontal feed conveyor such as a roller conveyor
  • a packaging unit for example, a tray.
  • Such a machine is known in this field of technology as a farmpacker, an apt denotation for an apparatus that feeds newly laid eggs from the poultry houses to a packing station where these eggs are collected and packaged for further handling at a different location than these poultry houses. While the function to be executed seems simple and quite manageable, there are circumstances which are difficult to control and for which various solutions have hitherto been applied.
  • the eggs which come from the poultry houses and are collected usually comprise an enormous variety of eggs, for example, though not exclusively, large and small, and ranging from wholly intact to heavily damaged.
  • the handling of such eggs should be very careful, but on the other hand there are typically huge numbers involved and it will be attempted to attain a highest possible processing capacity with such machines.
  • An essential aspect involved is the rate of processing.
  • stop moments need to be set in the egg supply at various points. More particularly, when filling the rows of a tray, after each row, a fixed position for a next row of nests needs to be set to guide the eggs from the feed conveyor in downward direction in a manner as controlled as possible.
  • the eggs, sliding down with their pointed end leading, are thereby guided in substantially downward direction between fixedly mounted guides on one side and on the other side a hand-shaped guide moving along (to pack the eggs with the pointed end facing down).
  • a slidingly guided and moving egg is stopped for a few moments in the downward movement.
  • the subsequent release follows a short vertical fall path from a clamped position into such a nest of a stationary tray, which nest is situated substantially in line under said position of standstill.
  • US2855740A discloses a machine for loading articles into cartons, wherein the articles are transferred by a rotary loading wheel.
  • US2834169A discloses an apparatus for depositing articles into receptacles, including collecting applies in pockets, lifting the apples from the pockets causing them to move down respective shutes, and gravitating the apples down via sub-chutes an shifting action into trays.
  • the transfer unit in the apparatus comprises for the at least one row a corresponding one feed funnel for transferring, which includes, in succession, receiving, guiding, and releasing, one egg, wherein during the uninterrupted movement and transfer in substantially downward direction the center of gravity of the egg moves uninterruptedly with a horizontal speed which is substantially equal to the horizontal speed of the packaging units.
  • the eggs are guided to a point just above the packaging unit so that possible breakage will be prevented.
  • the fixed part comprises one guide rod in a substantially vertical plane, with a preselected angle with respect to a horizontal plane; that the at least one guide rod continues to just above the packaging unit; that the moving part as a movement guide comprises two substantially symmetrical halves which make up a substantially concavely curved material piece and which during use, in guiding the egg in downward direction, jointly partly include, at least carry, the egg to a point near the packaging unit, and are arranged, while doing so, to move along with the egg in both downward and forward direction; that the movement guide is connected through a connecting piece with an endless transfer conveyor which is driven and which follows a cyclic movement whereby one of the consecutively fed next eggs is transferred; that the movement guide forms a terminal end of a substantially elongate hinge bracket, having at the other terminal end a freely rotating small wheel, wherein the connecting piece follows a first closed curve track and wherein the small wheel, as a cam follower, follows
  • each packaging unit is provided with at least one row of receiving nests arranged next to each other, wherein the eggs are fed in at least one row by successive holders at mutually fixed intermediate distances, wherein the packaging units are fed uninterruptedly, wherein at least one feed funnel is used to successively receive the eggs from the holders, displace them, and deliver them to the packaging units supplied, wherein a center of gravity of each egg, during displacement through the funnel, moves uninterruptedly with a horizontal speed which is substantially equal to a horizontal speed of a packaging unit receiving the egg.
  • FIGURE 1 the eggs are fed with a feed conveyor 1.
  • a feed conveyor Such a conveyor is described extensively in NL1036717 which document is hereby considered as an inserted reference.
  • the eggs are disposed on holders 3, multiple juxtaposed rows of which are utilized in this exemplary embodiment.
  • the eggs are fed in a conveying direction T to a transfer unit 2 which transfers the eggs from the feed conveyor 1 into a packaging unit 7.
  • the eggs when disposed on the holders 3, each have their pointed end oriented downwards, as described in NL1036717 .
  • FIGURE 2 there is represented in detail a schematic and cutaway side elevation of mainly the transfer unit 2. Again, it is indicated how with holders 3 of a feed conveyor the products, in particular eggs, are fed in a conveying direction T. In a known manner, the holders 3 are connected with an endless chain. In FIGURE 2 there is furthermore indicated an intermediate distance or pitch distance d of this feed conveyor 1. At the downstream end of the conveyor 1 there is a return wheel with a drive shaft 20 for guiding the holders 3 following a direction C. Thus, the holders are returned; for the holders 3 to return, they pass through a bend so that the eggs (with their pointed ends facing down) disposed on the holders 3 are likewise moved headlong.
  • a movement guide 61 is moved along so that such an egg at that moment has a position between a holder 3 and such a movement guide 61.
  • a guide rod 5 which in this exemplary embodiment of the apparatus has a fixed position.
  • This rod 5 makes an angle ⁇ with a horizontal plane. Slightly clamped between these two parts 5, 61, which make up a funnel 4, the egg, sliding over the rod 5, is transferred to a packaging unit, more particularly nest 71 of a tray 7. As represented in FIGURE 2 , this tray 7 is simultaneously displaced in the conveying direction T. After the transfer, the egg is received in the nest 71 of the tray 7 with its pointed end oriented downwards.
  • the funnels are chosen such that any type of chicken egg, from very small to very large, can be processed with the apparatus according to the invention, more particularly, that in the case of substantially large eggs, these are still guided well. This means that the dimensions substantially correspond to trays of a narrowest possible size.
  • the movement guide comprises two substantially symmetrical halves which make up a substantially concavely curved material piece and which jointly, in guiding the egg in downward direction, partly carry the egg to a point near the packaging unit while moving along with the egg in both downward and forward direction.
  • the two halves are fixed on the frame with slightly increasing intermediate distances.
  • the eggs are then received in the funnel, they are each guided by the same fixedly mounted rod on one side, but on the other side by the halves secured on the frame in slightly spaced-apart relation. Owing to this spaced-apart arrangement, also the center of gravity of the egg will be displaced slightly off centre, and slightly next to the guiding line of the rod, in the downward direction mentioned.
  • the eggs are conducted in a highly suitable manner to a point right near a packaging unit.
  • corresponding matching frames may be mounted for that purpose.
  • simple snap systems may be used to replace the frames rapidly.
  • FIGURE 2 and further also in FIGURE 3 , it is represented in detail in what manner it is rendered possible for the movement guides to follow the path of guiding an egg downwards.
  • the movement guides 61 as part of and being one of the terminal ends of a hinge element or hinge bracket 64, are connected hingedly about a hinge pivot, with connecting pieces 62, which are fixedly connected with the links of an endless transfer conveyor 63, for example, a chain, which is guided in a first curve track 66.
  • a cam follower 65 is arranged, for example, in the form of a freely rotating small wheel, which follows a second curve track 67.
  • the two curve tracks 66, 67 are so implemented that during the downward movement the movement guides 61 will moreover follow the proper rotation to guide an egg downwards as gradually as possible and to transfer it to a nest 71 of a tray 7.
  • the tray 7 will follow a continuous traveling movement in the conveying direction T while an egg at the same time follows a downward and forward movement, likewise in the conveying direction T again, so that a very gradual and smooth transfer will be carried out.
  • a first pattern with rows in the conveying direction and columns in the perpendicular direction, all even columns are displaced over a distance of approximately half a nest to one side.
  • Such a pattern has a comb-shaped appearance on both longitudinal sides parallel to the conveying direction.
  • one of the two frames as shown in FIGURE 1 is mounted on the frame over the above-mentioned distance in the intended direction.
  • an extra set of rods are mounted to allow the eggs presented alternately in these positions to be guided in a suitable manner.
  • a second pattern has similarly displaced columns, also has a comb-shaped appearance, but with the same columns.
  • the odd columns have n nests or packaging positions
  • the even columns have (n-1) positions, with n being a natural number, n ⁇ 2.
  • FIGURE 4 shows an alternative embodiment of a transfer unit 103.
  • the unit 103 shown in Fig. 4 differs from the unit 3 shown in FIGURES 1-3 in that each feed funnel 104 is composed of two oppositely arranged moving parts 161a, 161b, at least, oppositely arranged during the downward conveyance of an egg carried along by those parts 161a, 161b.
  • Each moving funnel part 161a, 161b may comprise, for example, a substantially concavely curved material piece, which during conveyance of the egg in downward direction, partly carries the egg to a point near the packaging unit, while moving along with the egg in both downward and forward direction.
  • Each moving funnel part 161a, 161b in this example is coupled to an associated endless conveyor 163a, 163b (for example, chains), to follow an endless path closed upon itself. More particularly, each of the moving funnel parts 161a, 161b periodically follows a first (obliquely downward) path section with the funnel parts 161a, 161b situated near each other (having concave sides opposite each other) to form the egg-carrying funnel 104.
  • the present transfer unit 103 is so implemented that the funnel parts 161a, 161b periodically follow second (obliquely upward) path sections, with the funnel parts moved apart, to reach an initial position again.
  • the funnel parts are returned to a funnel-constituting initial position (near the feed conveyor), to receive an egg again.
  • the transfer unit 103 is so configured that centers of gravity of the eggs carried by the funnels 104 move uninterruptedly with a horizontal speed which is substantially equal to a horizontal speed of a packaging unit 7 receiving the egg, in particular a respective horizontal speed of the packaging conveyor.
  • the moving funnel parts 161a, 161b can follow a slightly obliquely downward path to bring an egg down.
  • Each of the funnel parts 161a, 161b may be connected with one of the terminal ends of a hinge element or hinge bracket, hingedly about a hinge pivot, with connecting pieces which are fixedly connected with the links of a respective endless transfer conveyor 163a, 163b (which can be guided in a respective first curve track).
  • each of the funnel parts 161a, 161b may be coupled to a cam follower, for example, a freely rotating small wheel, which follows a second curve track. The first and second curve track may then be so configured that the funnel 104 composed of the parts 161a, 161b during the downward movement transfers an egg as gradually as possible to a nest of a tray 7.
  • the feed conveyor 101 shown is a roller conveyor known per se. Near the downstream end of the feed conveyor 101 a schematically shown egg orienting apparatus may be provided, to turn the eggs each to a position in which the respective pointed end of the egg is directed downwards.
  • a schematically shown egg orienting apparatus may be provided, to turn the eggs each to a position in which the respective pointed end of the egg is directed downwards.
  • Such an apparatus 140 is known per se from EP0512585 , which publication is understood to be wholly incorporated into the present application by reference.
  • the feed conveyor may, for example, be configured in the same manner as the feed conveyor 1 shown in FIGS. 1-3 , or in a different manner.
  • a guide structure 150 may be provided between the feed conveyor and the transfer unit 3.
  • the guide structure 150 is arranged to receive the eggs supplied by the feed conveyor and to transfer them to an upstream part of the transfer unit 3.
  • the guide structure 150 may be implemented in different manners, and comprise, for example, a funnel, guide plates and/or the like, which will be clear to those skilled in the art.
  • the eggs when being supplied by the feed conveyor may already be oriented with the pointed end down.
  • each egg may be brought to such an orientation just before being taken over by the transfer unit, or while being brought onto the transfer unit. Turning may be carried out, for example, in the same manner as carried out by the apparatus described in EP0512585 .
  • the feed conveyor described in EP0512585 may be used, which is provided with rotating rollers to convey the eggs.
