Gripper cleaning device for mobile-installed farming machines{Apparatus For Cleaning Gripers Of Egg Gathering Machine}

The present invention relates to a collecting machine, and more particularly, to a gripper cleaning device for a mobile installation type collecting machine for cleaning the gripper installed in the collector for collecting and distributing produced eggs.

The poultry farm has been developed so that it is possible to produce a large number of poultry with little labor by having an automated system to efficiently supply feed and egg eggs.

The collector includes a collector frame vertically installed, a vertical conveyor vertically installed inside the frame, and a plurality of grippers operated in a caterpillar manner by the vertical conveyor. The gripper is contaminated by various kinds of dirt on the surface of the egg during the egg picking process. So, when the filth dried up and became large, there were cases in which the eggs could not be arranged well.

Although the grippers have been cleaned in the past, it takes a lot of manpower and time to manually clean a large number of grippers using a brush.

Hereinafter, an apparatus for cleaning a gripper for a mobile installation type collector will be described.

"와 같이 이등변 삼각 형태로 되어 있음으로써 수직으로 설치되어 있는 집란기프레임의 측면에 지지될 수 있는 구성을 가진다. 하우징(1)에는 이동성을 위한 손잡이(5, 도 4 참조)가 설치될 수 있다. 하우징(1)에는 내부 세척과정을 볼 수 있도록 투시창(47, 도 4 참조)이 마련될 수 있다. The housing 1 is opened in a direction toward the collector, that is, its front side. Wheels 3 may be installed under the housing 1 for mobility. The housing (1) has a side "

It has a configuration that can be supported on the side of the collector frame that is vertically installed by being in an isosceles triangular shape as shown in ". A handle 5 for mobility (see Fig. 4) may be installed in the housing 1 A viewing window 47 (refer to FIG. 4) may be provided in the housing 1 so that the internal cleaning process can be seen.

The cylindrical brush 7 is installed inside the housing 1 so as to be rotatable about the horizontal axis X. The brush 7 is installed to protrude through the opening of the housing 1 so that the tip can sufficiently contact the gripper 105 of the collector.

A drive motor 9 for axial rotation of the brush 7 is installed in the housing 1. The output shaft of the drive motor 9 and the rotation shaft of the brush 7 may be connected by pulleys 11 and 12 or a chain sprocket and a belt 13 or a chain. The drive motor 9 may be installed outside the housing 1 or may be installed inside as shown. In this case, the guide plate 10 may be installed inside the housing 1 so that dirt or washing water does not come into contact with the driving motor 9. The guide plate 10 may serve to guide the dirt to fall and collect. If necessary, the guide plate 10 may be made of a transparent synthetic resin.

A washing water nozzle 15 is installed on the upper part of the housing 1 to supply washing water to the upper part of the brush 7. The washing water nozzle 15 is installed through a nozzle pipe 17 for even spraying. The nozzle pipe 17 is installed in the transverse direction on the upper portion of the housing 1, and a plurality of washing water nozzles 15 are installed to be uniformly spaced along the longitudinal direction of the nozzle pipe 17.

The washing water supply unit 19 is for supplying washing water to the washing water nozzle 15, and may be a water tank or a tap water. A valve for connecting the water supply may be installed on the side of the housing.

The washing water supplies the washing water to the brush 7 to provide a washing effect by sprinkling water, and is provided to cleanly remove dirt and the like that have been dried by sticking to the gripper 105.

According to another embodiment of the present invention may further include a detergent supply. The detergent supply unit is to supply more detergent together with the washing water. It is preferable to use an eco-friendly detergent that is harmless to the human body, and after installing the detergent container 21 on the upper part of the housing as shown in FIG. 4, it is automatically placed little by little inside the brush 7, the nozzle pipe 17 or the water tank. Can be administered. For the automatic supply of detergent, a known diffuser or a quantitative supply device may be employed.

According to another feature of the present invention, a tray-shaped dirt tray 23 for collecting dirt removed by the brush 7 and falling down may be further installed below the brush 7. The filth tray 23 is detachably connected to the housing 1 and may have wheels (not shown) to move together with the housing 1.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the air nozzle 25 is selectively further under the brush 7 so that the gripper 105 can be cleaned by ejecting air pressure toward the gripper 105 to remove foreign matter adhered thereto. Can be installed. The air nozzle 25 may also be installed at regular intervals along its longitudinal direction in the air pipe 27 having a shape similar to the nozzle pipe 17 described above.

The pneumatic generator 29 supplies air pressure to the air nozzle 25. The pneumatic generator 29 may be a compressor, but may also be an air pump 31 operated by the drive motor 9. It is possible to cause the drive motor 9 to rotate the brush 7 and operate the air pump 31 at the same time.

According to the above configuration, when the housing 1 is in close contact with the collector frame 101 and then the drive motor 9 is driven to rotate the brush 7, the brush 7 strikes the gripper 105. . By this blow, the dirt attached to the gripper is removed and falls to the dirt tray 23. The direction of rotation of the brush 7 can be selected as needed. The rotation direction of the brush 7 may be changed periodically to perform the cleaning operation at multiple angles.

Washing water makes this process smooth, and compressed air is brushed off to clean. The gripper 105 is sequentially cleaned by the brush 7 while moving along the conveyor 103 in a caterpillar fashion.

Meanwhile, a fixing means for fixing to the collector frame 101 may be provided in front of the housing 1. This fixing means is for preventing the housing from being pushed back as the brush 7 operates and strikes the gripper 105. The fixing means may be a bending plate 33 capable of surface contact with the collector frame by bending an end portion in front of the housing, and a rubber magnet 35 adhered and fixed to the bending plate 33.

Hereinafter, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 5.

Also, the brush 7 may be configured to swing in the width direction W with respect to the collector frame 101 by the swing device. To this end, the cam 37 is supported at the end of the rotation shaft 7a of the brush and the cam 37 is driven so that the brush can be activated in the width direction (W). The period in which the brush 7 swings left and right can be determined in various ways as necessary. The shaft support 39 is installed to be slidable left and right at the end of the rotating shaft 7a of the brush. The cam 37 is supported by this shaft support 39, and the shaft support is installed to receive an elastic force in the left direction in the drawing by a spring 41. The shaft support 39 is slidably installed on the shaft support 43, and the shaft support 43 is fixedly installed inside the housing. The left and right flow width of the brush 7 may be 10 to 30 m. The cam is driven to rotate continuously or intermittently by the cam driving motor 45.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, the nozzle pipe 17 and the air pipe 27 are respectively connected to extension rods 17a and 27a extending to the outside of the housing 1. , These extension rods (17a, 27a) are installed to be axially rotatable as indicated by arrows, respectively.

In this embodiment, the nozzle pipe 17 and the air pipe 27 can be rotated inside the housing, and furthermore, the brush 7, the guide plate 10, and the gripper 105 are all installed in a position where they can be cleaned. Should be.

This is to be able to adjust the injection direction of the washing water and compressed air. In some cases, it may be adjusted to clean the guide plate 10 installed inside the housing.

The washing water nozzle 15 and the air nozzle 25 may constitute a system to selectively spray washing water and air, respectively. That is, one nozzle selectively sprays and supplies washing water and compressed air as needed or controlled.

The configuration shown and described above is only a preferred embodiment based on the technical idea of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will be able to implement various modifications based on common technical knowledge, but it should be noted that this may be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
