EGG-SORTING MACHINE Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: food industry. SUBSTANCE: stabilizer of egg-sorting machine has the form of rubber guides with serrated and rectangular profile, arranged on frame to form at least one track for movement and orientation of eggs so as to set longitudinal axis of egg square to the line of motion. The propelling mechanism has the form of an endless flexible "ladder" moving in guides, the distance between the rungs being dependent on required speed of egg movement and the time required for its weighing. The weighing mechanism has the form of two slopes whose lower edges are directed towards each other, and an electronic scale in between. The transfer mechanism is made as a movable gate, rigidly connected with a master form and kept in the initial position by a fixing device, e.g. electromagnet. Master form interacts with the rungs of a flexible "ladder" and its profile sets the cyclogram of gate motion. The marking mechanism has the form of a plate with slots for inserting replaceable stamps. Said plate is articulated to gate so that the latter in the initial position is pressed against an accumulating device located in the frame and consisting of a container with a soft porous material impregnated with a marking compound. The distributing mechanism is an electronic system providing a link between the weighing and discharge mechanisms. EFFECT: improved design. 5 cl, 6 dwg
