Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of soft-boiled egg processing, in particular to a soft-boiled egg processing device. Background Art

[0002] The highest content in eggs is protein, which denatures easily when heated. Soft-boiled eggs are a popular way to cook eggs. These eggs are boiled with a runny yolk. They contain a variety of minerals, including a higher iron content than milk. They require steaming to produce.

[0003] The soft-boiled egg processing devices in the prior art usually only wash the eggs. It is difficult to remove the chicken manure adhesion on the surface of the eggs, which reduces the appearance of the finished soft-boiled eggs. In addition, when a batch of eggs are steamed and sent out, the heat in the center of the heating box is difficult to discharge, resulting in different degrees of softness of the same batch of soft-boiled eggs. In addition, the cleaning, heating and cooling of the eggs are usually carried out separately, which has a low utilization efficiency of water resources. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a soft-boiled egg processing device in response to the above technical problems.

[0020] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the following detailed description of specific embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following description sets forth many specific details to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar modifications without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0021] See also Figures 1 to 4 The embodiment of the present application provides a soft-boiled egg processing device, including a frame 1. The eggs should be eggs of the same size after being sorted. A conveyor 2 is installed on the frame 1. The conveyor 2 can be a belt conveyor with a plurality of water holes on its surface, or a double-row chain conveyor. A heating box 3 is installed on the frame 1. A cleaning spray pipe is installed on the frame 1. The input end of the cleaning spray pipe is connected to a clean water source. A plurality of egg-carrying blocks 4 are installed on the conveyor 2. A linear actuator 5 is installed on the frame 1. The linear actuator 5 can be an electric cylinder. A sliding frame 6 is installed on the output end of the linear actuator 5. A plurality of egg-carrying blocks 2 7 are installed on the sliding frame 6. The egg-carrying blocks 1 4 and the egg-carrying blocks 2 7 are both provided with end cleaning mechanisms. A plurality of conveyors 2 8 are installed on the frame 1. The conveyor 2 8 can be a belt conveyor. Machine, flexible brushes are installed on conveyor 2 8, conveyor 2 8 is located on the left and right sides of the forward direction of egg block 1 4, a plurality of water mist spray pipes 9 are installed on the sliding frame 6, and a fan 10 is installed on the heating box 3. The fan 10 can be a high-temperature water mist circulation fan or a hot air conveying fan. The input end of the fan 10 is connected to the inside of the heating box 3, and the output end of the fan 10 is connected to the water mist spray pipe 9. A water source collection box 11 is provided at the bottom of conveyor 2, and a high-pressure cooling water mist spray plate 12 is installed on the frame 1. The input end of the high-pressure cooling water mist spray plate 12 is connected to the clean water source through a high-pressure water pump. A water pump 13 is installed in the water source collection box 11, and a cooling nozzle 14 is installed on the frame 1. The output end of the water pump 13 is connected to the cooling nozzle 14, and the output end of the cooling nozzle 14 is flush with the upper surface of conveyor 2.

[0022] In this embodiment, the egg holding blocks 4 installed on the conveyor 2 are arranged in batches. After the egg holding blocks 4 of the current batch carry the eggs into the heating box 3, the eggs of the next batch to be entered are clamped by the egg holding blocks 4 and the egg holding blocks 2 7 on the sliding rack 6 pushed down by the linear actuator 5. Then the conveyor 2 8 drives the flexible brush thereon to clean the surface of the eggs in cooperation with the clean water sprayed from the cleaning spray pipe; after the heating of the previous batch of eggs is completed, the doors at both ends of the heating box 3 are opened to facilitate the transportation of eggs and the dissipation of heat, and at the same time the fan 10 starts to work, extracting the high-temperature water mist at the center of the heating box 3 and blowing it to the egg holding blocks 4 and the egg holding blocks 7. At the place where the egg block 2 7 clamps the cleaned eggs, the high-temperature water mist further improves the cleaning effect. After cleaning for a certain period of time, the conveyor 2 8 stops, the linear actuator 5 drives the egg-holding block 2 7 to move upward, and the conveyor 1 2 delivers the cleaned eggs into the heating box 3; the cleaned water source falls into the water source collection box 11 through the water flow holes or gaps on the surface of the conveyor 1 2, and is pumped out by the water pump 13 and sprayed onto the surface of the egg block 4 and the conveyor 1 2 by the cooling nozzle 14 for cooling. At the same time, the high-pressure cooling water mist spray plate 12 also starts to work, and the high-pressure water mist it sprays prevents the water source sprayed by the cooling nozzle 14 from being contaminated on the eggs, thereby avoiding contamination. The conveyors 2 8 all rotate in the same direction, so that the eggs can be driven to rotate slightly by the flexible brushes, so that the ends of the eggs clamped by the egg supporting blocks 1 4 and 2 7 can be cleaned in cooperation with the end cleaning mechanism; and when the egg supporting blocks 1 4 drive the eggs forward, the conveyor 2 8 stops rotating, and the flexible brushes thereon droop due to gravity, so that the eggs on the egg supporting blocks 1 4 will not be deflected. After the conveyor 2 8 is running, the flexible brushes can contact the surface of the eggs due to centrifugal force; the cooling nozzles 14 are arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the conveyor 2.

[0023] In some embodiments, to clean the portion of the egg held between egg receiving blocks 1 (4) and 2 (7), an end cleaning mechanism is provided, including a screen 15 and a cleaning brush. The cleaning brush is not shown and should be soft. Egg receiving block 1 (4) is provided with an egg receiving trough 16. Both screen 15 and the cleaning brush are mounted within trough 16, with the cleaning brush positioned between trough 16 and screen 15. During cleaning, conveyor 2 (8) on either side of the egg rotates via the flexible brushes, allowing the cleaning brush to clean the ends of the rotating eggs through the gaps in screen 15.

[0024] In some embodiments, in order to protect the eggs rotating on the egg-holding block 4, the edges and corners of the screen 15 are provided with rounded corners.

[0025] In some embodiments, in order to protect the water pump 13 and prevent impurities from entering after cleaning the eggs, a filter 17 is installed in the water source collection box 11.

[0026] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the closure of the feed end and the discharge end of the heating box 3, a linear actuator 2 18 is installed above the input end and the output end of the heating box 3. The linear actuator 2 18 can be an electric cylinder, and a high-temperature resistant baffle 19 is installed at the output end of the linear actuator 2 18.

[0027] In some embodiments, in order to prevent sewage from accumulating in the egg receiving groove 16 on the egg receiving block 1 4 , a water permeable hole 20 is provided at the bottom of the egg receiving block 1 4 .
