摘要： A conveyor for shock-sensitive products includes a conveyor member with at least one intermediate storage region adapted to receive a predetermined number of the products placed thereon when the conveyor is a static condition for temporary intermediate storage. A force measuring member determines the weight force of the products in the intermediate storage region. A control member, adapted to increase and decrease the rate of feed of the shock-sensitive products in the conveyor member, processes the weight force detected by the force measuring member as an input parameter, and increases or reduces the rate of feed of the products toward and away from the intermediate storage region as a function of the weight force.

摘要： Among the components of a vertical feeding device for egg collection, particularly egg placement means has a problem of holding an egg for an unnecessarily long time period. In such a case, the egg held drops at a position outside an expected place to sometimes contaminate the egg placement means again, further contributing the egg placement means to hold an unnecessary number of eggs and putting the device in unsanitary conditions by scattered eggs. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] The invention relates to an egg collection conveyor and a vertical feeding device for egg collection, and particularly relates to an a egg roll out mechanism for an egg collector. The egg collection conveyor collects eggs produced at each cage of a multiple-stage chicken cage and conveys the eggs to horizontally one end side of the conveyor. The vertical feeding device for egg collection is provided on one end side of the multiple-stage chicken cage, conveys the eggs in the vertical direction, and discharges the eggs, collected by the egg collection conveyor, at a previously set position. The vertical feeding device has egg placement means on which eggs are placed and that discharges the eggs at a desired position. The egg placement means has a space section directly under the position where an egg is placed and the space can be in contact with the bottom surface of the egg. The vertical feeding device is connected to endless conveyor for conveying the collected eggs to a desired position. A projection for egg roll out is provided on the downstream side of the egg placement means and the distance of the projection relative to the egg placement means is changed corresponding to a change in the conveyance direction of the endless conveyor. In the egg roll out mechanism, when the relative distance is minimum, the egg roll out mechanism causes an end of the projection to reach the space section to help rolling out of an egg.

摘要翻译： 在用于鸡蛋收集的垂直饲养装置的组分中，特别是鸡蛋放置手段具有持续不必要的长时间段的蛋的问题。 在这种情况下，蛋保持在预期位置之外的位置处滴下，有时再次污染蛋放置装置，进一步促使蛋放置装置保持不必要数量的蛋，并通过分散的鸡蛋将装置置于不卫生的状态。 解决问题的手段本发明涉及一种用于鸡蛋收集的蛋收集输送机和垂直进料装置，特别涉及一种用于鸡蛋收集器的蛋滚出机构。 鸡蛋收集输送机收集在多级鸡笼的每个笼子上产生的鸡蛋，并将鸡蛋传送到输送机的水平一端。 在多级鸡笼的一端侧设置用于收集鸡蛋的垂直饲养装置，在垂直方向上传送鸡蛋，并将鸡蛋收集在鸡蛋收集输送机上的鸡蛋排放到预先设定的位置。 垂直饲养装置具有蛋放置装置，鸡蛋在其上放置并将蛋排放到期望的位置。 蛋放置装置具有直接位于蛋放置位置的空间部分，并且空间可以与鸡蛋的底面接触。 垂直进给装置连接到环形输送机，用于将收集的鸡蛋输送到期望的位置。 在蛋放置装置的下游侧设置有用于蛋卷出的突出部，并且相对于鸡蛋放置部件的突出部的距离相应于环形输送机的输送方向的变化而变化。 在蛋推出机构中，当相对距离最小时，蛋推出机构使投影结束到达空间部分以帮助滚出蛋。

摘要： A conveyor and escalator for transporting objects having a substantially uniform size and length such as eggs horizontally, vertically and helically vertically comprising at least one flexible endless support means; a drive means operably engaging said flexible endless support means for driving said flexible endless support means in a direction of advance; and a plurality of equispaced elongated paddles attached substantially perpendicular to said flexible endless support means, said paddles being adapted to support an object during linear travel and to open for receiving or releasing said object therebetween during arcuate travel. The endless flexible support means comprises an endless chain, an endless belt or an endless cable. Preferably, the endless flexible support means comprises a pair or parallel spaced-apart endless chains and at least two linearly-spaced sprocket wheels engaging each said endless chain for supporting said chain in linear travel between the sprocket wheels and in arcuate travel about said sprocket wheels, and means for rotating said sprocket wheels for advancing the endless chains. The elongated paddles may have an I-section with means at opposite ends of the I-section for removably connecting said paddles at said opposite ends to the endless chains transversely to the said direction of advance whereby the paddles remain vertically upright during horizontal linear travel to support objects on adjacent upper flanges and whereby the paddles pivot relative to each other about a longitudinal central axis during arcuate travel to open adjacent paddles at the upper flanges to receive objects therebetween during downward arcuate travel and to open adjacent paddles at adjacent lower flanges to discharge objects therefrom during upward arcuate travel. The paddles optionally may have an I-shaped cross-section, a C-shaped cross-section, a Z-shaped cross-section, an inverted J-shaped cross-section, an inverted T-shaped cross-section or an inverted 7-shaped cross-section.

摘要： An egg transporting system for receiving eggs from a plurality of egg belt conveyors leading from cages of a poultry installation receives eggs on an input side and transfers them to an opposite side of the system to an accumulation conveyor. The transporting system includes an elevator having a plurality of generally U-shaped egg transporting cradles with asymmetric legs for receiving and cradling eggs at the input side and holding and transferring eggs on the discharge side while providing a smooth transition of the egg from one leg to the other as the eggs are moved from one side of the vertical elevator to the other side. A plurality of the cradles are mounted adjacent one another to cross bars extending between endless loop drives with vertically spaced rows of cradles in abutting contact to present substantially continuous egg receiving openings to the belt conveyors. In one embodiment, the conveyor has an inclined input end to facilitate transfer of eggs into the cradles and improved mounting system for simplifying the attachment of the egg conveyors to the input side of the elevator. In some embodiments, an improved egg counting assembly is mounted to the output side of the elevator for singulating and counting the eggs collected by the system and transferred onto the main conveyor.

摘要： An automatic egg collector for an automated poultry handling system having a poultry cage battery composed of tiered banks of poultry cages with inclined floors along which eggs roll from the cages onto feeder conveyors alongside the cage tiers. The several feeder conveyors of each cage bank feed a common transfer conveyor which transfers eggs from the feeder conveyors to an overhead outfeed conveyor. The outfeed conveyor transports the eggs from all the transfer conveyors of the cage battery to an egg receiver.
