However, there is a problem that only one concentrated egg collection conveyor can be handled. In particular, in recent years, since the demand for diversification of eggs has been increasing, there has been a change in the usage of cage units, such as housing cages separately by dividing cage units in half in the longitudinal direction. In some cases, it may be required to sort and pack even eggs collected in one cage unit.However, as described above, if the egg collection machine can handle only one centralized egg collection conveyor, Since they cannot be collected by collecting them, a problem arises in that after collecting them at one place on a centralized egg collection conveyor, it is necessary to perform further sorting work. In addition, as described above, if the egg collecting machine can handle only one centralized egg collecting conveyor, when performing maintenance of a processing device downstream of the centralized egg collecting conveyor, for example, an automatic box packing device, etc., the egg collection work Must be stopped, which causes a problem that the working efficiency is reduced. An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the conventional egg collecting machine and to provide an egg collecting machine capable of coping with a plurality of centralized egg collecting conveyors.
