摘要:
An arm shield constructed from a thin sheet material has a curvature around an elongate axis. Opposite side edges are substantially parallel to the elongate axis. A nose edge extends from the first end. A tail curvature similar to the sheet curvature extends from the second end. An adjustable strap connects the first side edge to the second side edge.
摘要:
A method for cleaning a conveyor for agricultural products, such as eggs, and a conveyor for agricultural products, in which contaminants that adhere firmly to the conveyor are removed by the use of an ultrasonic cleaning bath into which a section of the conveyor is dipped with the aid of a deflecting unit. During the normal revolution of the conveyor chain, cleaning of the conveyor chain is carried out even during running operation of the conveying system by means of ultrasound and suitable cleaning agent. A conveyor chain having a multiplicity of rods that are connected to one another via chain links is transported in individual conveying segments of the conveyor. Lying on the conveyor chain, the agricultural products are transported. Deposits of contaminants onto the conveyor unavoidably occur during operation, such as, in particular, as a result of litter or feathers.

A conveyor and associated method for shock-sensitive products and the like, includes a conveyor member having at least one individual compartment for receiving a product therein, as well as upward and downward conveyor sections. An upper conveyor deflector deflects the conveyor member from the upward to the downward section. The compartment includes a first support surface configured for supporting the product in the upwardly directed conveyor section, as well as a second support surface configured for supporting the product in a downwardly directed conveyor section. The compartment also includes a bottom surface that supports the product during movement of the conveyor member over the upper conveyor deflector. The bottom surface has a curved shape, so that when passing over the upper deflector, the product deposited in the compartment is guided smoothly and gently along the bottom surface from the first support surface to the second support surface, such that critically damaging shock forces to the product are avoided.

A device for the transfer of objects that are sensitive to impact, such as eggs, includes a horizontally-feeding collection conveyor, a vertically-feeding elevator, and at least one separation wheel located in a transition area between the horizontally feeding collection conveyor and the vertically feeding elevator. The separation wheel includes an outer edge having a recessed portion adapted to cradle an egg therein, wherein at least the recessed portion of the outer edge is elastically deformable, and is thereby adapted to cushion an impact of the egg with the recessed portion of the outer edge.

A device is provided for counting moving objects, such as eggs lying on a moving conveyor belt. This device comprises a lever which can be moved by the moving objects, a signalling element for generating a detectable signal as a response to a movement of the lever, and a coupling and resetting mechanism for transmitting the movement of the lever to the signalling element and for automatically resetting both the lever and the signalling element during a decrease in the size of the portion of a moving object which is in contact with the lever, after a preceding increase thereof and the associated generation of a signal. The coupling and resetting mechanism comprises an essentially cylindrical drum which is rotatable about a shaft and which is provided with a projecting part extending essentially in a radial direction for operating the signalling element. A cord is looped round the drum. One end of the cord is attached to an extension piece of the lever and the other end is attached to an elastically deformable element for tensioning the cord around the drum. The cord is able to slip over the outside surface of the drum with friction.

Apparatus for collecting eggs from a number of poultry cages is disclosed. The apparatus includes a collector conveyor belt for receiving the eggs from egg cages, and a ramp conveyor belt for de-escalating the eggs from the collector conveyor. The cage bottoms are extended to provide a trough in which the collector conveyor belt is carried. Opposite the cages, strips of low-friction material act as bumpers to maintain without damage eggs upon the collector conveyor. A diagonal fence is provided above the collector-ramp belt conveyor junction point to encourage easy, undamaged egg transfer action from the collector to the ramp conveyor. Resilient fingers mounted in rows upon the ramp conveyor encourage undamaged egg de-escalation. An accumulator belt conveyor receives the eggs from the ramp conveyor and carries the eggs to an accumulation point.
摘要:
An egg gathering mechanism for multi-level block-nest plants with egg conveyor mechanisms allocated to each level. The conveyor mechanisms feed into drop-tubes which have devices for retarding free-fall at the heads of the blocks as well as additional transport devices for the eggs allocated to the lower end of the drop-tubes. The invention is distinguished by the use of chaff to retard the free-fall of the eggs and by the mechanisms provided above and below the drop-tubes for feeding and removing the chaff.
摘要:
An apparatus for collecting eggs from a poultry battery and conveying the eggs to a collecting platform comprises an endless belt extending between two spaced idler rollers and gripping means for drawing the belt in a direction such that eggs on the conveyor belt are conveyed from a position adjacent a battery to a collecting platform and releasing the belt when the gripping means is moved in the opposite direction.
