Description

Egg tray dryer

This model relates to a related equipment for animal husbandry, especially an egg tray dryer.

Referring to Fig. 1, an existing egg tray 1 is made of plastic material and is suitable for accommodating several eggs to facilitate the transportation and stacking of the eggs. The egg tray 1 defines a plurality of egg troughs 11 respectively suitable for placing the eggs, and includes a plurality of protrusions 12 that protrude upward and are generally truncated. This kind of egg tray 1 can be reused, but in order to ensure hygiene and safety, it needs to be cleaned and then dried or dried in the shade after use. However, due to the many uneven structures, the drying time required for shade drying is longer. Although the drying is faster, However, it is also limited by the weather, which is more likely to cause deterioration of the plastic material, thereby shortening the service life of the egg tray 1. It is necessary to solve the problems encountered when drying the egg tray 1 mentioned above.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide an egg tray dryer which can overcome at least one shortcoming of the prior art.

The egg tray dryer is suitable for drying egg counting trays, and includes a conveying mechanism and an air blowing mechanism. The conveying mechanism defines a conveying path extending along a left and right, and is suitable for conveying the egg trays along the conveying path. The blowing mechanism can blow gas to the conveying path to dry the egg trays.

The effect of the present invention is that the egg trays are continuously transported by the conveying mechanism, and the egg trays are dried by the air blowing mechanism, which can solve the problem of dryness in the shade and shortening the life of the egg trays.

Referring to Figures 2 to 4, an embodiment of the new type egg tray dryer is suitable for drying the egg tray 2. Since the structure of the egg trays 2 is the same, only the complete structure of one of the egg trays 2 is shown as a representative in the following partial drawings.

Each egg tray 2 defines several egg troughs 21 suitable for placing several eggs, and includes several protrusions 22 protruding upward. The protrusions 22 cooperate to define a plurality of grooves 23 that extend left and right and are arranged at intervals in the front and rear.

This embodiment includes a conveying mechanism 3 suitable for conveying the egg trays 2 along a conveying path P1 extending left and right, and a conveying mechanism 3 suitable for blowing gas to the conveying path P1 (see FIG. 4) to blow the egg trays 2 A dry blowing mechanism 4 and a guiding mechanism 5 suitable for guiding the egg trays 2 to move along the conveying path P1.

The conveying mechanism 3 includes a base unit 31 extending left and right, two axle units 32 respectively assembled at the opposite ends of the base unit 31, and two chain units spaced back and forth and assembled between the axle units 32 33. Several conveying rods 34 extending back and forth and inserted between the chain units 33, and a driving unit 35 assembled with one of the axle units 32.

The base unit 31 includes two side frames 311 arranged front and rear. Each side frame 311 is made by welding metal plates and metal rods. In implementation, each side frame 311 only needs to provide other component support. Due to the numerous variations, it is not limited to the drawings, and since the technology for providing support is common knowledge, detailed descriptions are omitted.

Each axle unit 32 includes two front and rear sprockets 321 (due to the viewing angle and the engagement of the chain units 33 and are shielded, it is impossible to indicate both at the same time), and one is pivoted on the side frames extending forward and backward. 311 are inserted into the axles 322 of the sprockets 321 in a synchronous manner.

Each chain unit 33 is circumferentially sleeved on the two sprockets 321 arranged on the same side in the front-rear direction and spaced left and right, and engages the sprockets 321 to be driven by the sprockets 321, and then can surround the sprockets 321. The sprocket 321 moves. Each chain unit 33 includes a first chain segment 331 (see FIG. 3) that moves in a conveying direction D1, and a second chain segment 332 (see FIG. 4) that moves in the opposite direction to the conveying direction D1.

Each conveying rod 34 is inserted into the chain units 33 with its two opposite ends, and when the chain units 33 move, they move along the conveying direction D1 with the chain units 33. The conveying rods 34 are suitable for cooperating for placing the egg trays 2 and supporting each of the egg trays 2 in a group of several.

3 to 5, the driving unit 35 includes an electric motor 352 having a driving shaft 351, a first gear 353 that passes through the driving shaft 351, and a first gear 353 that is simultaneously passed through one of the axle units 32. The second gear 354 on the axle 322 and a transmission chain 355 that surrounds the first gear 353 and the second gear 354 and meshes with the first gear 353 and the second gear 354. The first gear 353 is sleeved on the drive shaft 351 and can be driven by the motor 352 to rotate, and the second gear 354 is driven to rotate through the transmission chain 355.

The blowing mechanism 4 includes a plurality of substantially cylindrical blowing heads 41, a plurality of blowers 42 capable of generating airflow, and a plurality of conveying pipes 43 capable of conveying air from the blowers 42 to the blowing heads 41 .

The guide mechanism 5 is installed above the conveying path P1 and includes two guide rods 51 extending left and right and arranged at intervals in the front and rear.

When this embodiment is in operation, since the second gear 354 of the driving unit 35 is sleeved on the axle 322 of one of the axle units 32, the driving unit 35 can drive the axle 322 and the axle 322 of one of the axle units 32. The sprockets 321 rotate, and the other axle unit 32 is driven to rotate through the chain units 33. At the same time, the conveying rods 34 are also driven by the chain units 33 to move along the conveying direction D1.

When this embodiment is used, it is only necessary to place each egg tray 2 on a few of the conveying rods 34, which is about three in this embodiment, so that each egg tray 2 is supported by the conveying rods 34. , Then the conveying rods 34 will convey each egg tray 2 along the conveying path P1 while moving. When each egg tray 2 is moving, it passes through the blowing heads 41 and is dried by the wind blowing from the blowing heads 41 downward and upward.

Wherein, when placing each egg tray 2 on the conveying rods 34, the two grooves 23 spaced back and forth between each egg tray 2 are aligned with the guide rods 51 of the guiding mechanism 5, so that the The equal guide rods 51 can be inserted into the grooves 23 respectively as shown in FIG. 5, so that each egg tray 2 does not deviate from the conveying path P1 in the forward and backward direction, and guides the egg trays 2 along the path P1. This transport path P1 moves.

In summary, the effect of the new type of egg tray dryer is: the conveying mechanism 3 continuously conveys the egg trays 2 and the blowing mechanism 4 is used to dry the egg trays 2, which can solve the problem of drying in the shade and not easy to dry. Will shorten the life and other issues.

The above are only examples of the present model, and cannot be used to limit the scope of patent application of the present model, and the simple equivalent changes and modifications according to the scope of patent application of the present model and the patent specification shall also be the new model. Covered by the scope of the patent application.
