Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of food processing technology, specifically an automated braising production line for processing cooked eggs. Background Technology

[0002] In modern food processing, braising cooked eggs is a common technique. Traditional braising methods typically rely on large braising pots, which require stirring the eggs during the braising process to improve efficiency and enhance flavor. However, cooked eggs are easily bumped during stirring, especially when braising large quantities. Whole eggs are prone to being crushed, resulting in broken egg pieces mixed into the braising liquid. This not only affects the quality of the braising liquid but also increases the frequency and time required for changing it, thus reducing overall braising efficiency.

[0003] In addition, in the existing braising process, the transfer of materials mostly relies on manual operation. This method is not only inconvenient to manage, but also inefficient and costly. Therefore, an automated braising production line is proposed to realize the automated operation of each material transfer task, improve the efficiency of the braising process, and reduce the production of broken eggs during braising. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the above problems, this invention provides an automated braising production line for cooked egg processing, which solves the problems of broken eggs and low braising efficiency during the braising process.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: An automatic braising production line for processing cooked eggs includes a braising line and a washing line. Several containers for holding eggs are movably arranged inside the braising line. A drive component is connected to the containers to drive them to move from the inlet side to the outlet side of the braising line. The discharge side of the braising line is equipped with an unloading line that delivers the containers and the braised eggs. The unloading line is connected to the starting side of the washing line. The feeding side of the braising line is equipped with a feeding line that is connected to the end of the washing line. After the eggs are unloaded from the unloading line, they are transferred to the cleaning line. The cleaning line cleans the containers and continuously conveys them to the feeding line, which then replenishes the feed to the feeding side of the braising line.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: by using a container to hold the eggs, the eggs to be braised are placed in a relatively small cavity, which reduces the collision of a large number of eggs during the braising process, thus avoiding egg breakage; the braising line, unloading line, washing line, and loading line enable automated processing of cooked eggs during the braising process and the washing of the container, thereby reducing manual handling and facilitating automated management. The container can be automatically recycled after washing, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of the container and the efficiency of the braising process.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above solution, the braising line includes a braising tank, a first support frame is arranged around the braising tank, and several movable platforms are movably arranged inside the braising tank. The movable platforms are connected to a drive assembly, and the drive assembly is mounted on the first support frame. A first feeding assembly and a second feeding assembly are sequentially arranged on the brine tank on the feeding side of the brine line, and a third feeding assembly is arranged on the discharging side. A hoist is arranged on the side near the first feeding assembly to transport eggs to a container. A first clamping assembly is movably arranged on the first support frame to clamp the container and move it from the second feeding assembly to the third feeding assembly, and to move it from the movable platform to the third feeding assembly.

[0008] The improved technology has the following effects: the first clamping component allows for the stacking of the egg-filled container and its placement on a movable platform for braising. After braising, the container is transferred from the movable platform to the third feeding component via the other first clamping component, enabling automatic loading and unloading of the egg in the braising tank. This increases efficiency. Furthermore, driven by the drive component, the container moves from the feeding side to the discharging side. During this movement, the braising liquid passes through the container and contacts the egg, effectively stirring it. This achieves a stirring-like effect without the need for actual stirring, ensuring proper braising of the egg while preventing it from breaking due to stirring.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above solution, the first clamping assembly includes clamping plates, which are slidably arranged in pairs on the mounting base. The mounting base is provided with a first driving source that drives the clamping plates to clamp or release the container. A movable seat is slidably mounted above the mounting base. The movable seat is equipped with a drive motor that drives it to reciprocate on the first support frame. The movable seat is also equipped with a telescopic cylinder that drives the mounting base to move up and down. The first feeding assembly includes a feeding roller assembly, and feeding belt assemblies arranged interlaced in the transmission direction of the feeding roller assemblies within the intervals of the feeding roller assemblies.

[0010] The improved technical effects are as follows: the staggered feeding roller assembly and feeding belt assembly can change the direction of transmission when the container is being conveyed, which can realize both the conveying of the container to the egg receiving position and the operation of sending the container away after the eggs are filled. Furthermore, the first clamping assembly can stack the containers that have been filled with eggs, thereby braising the eggs in multiple containers at one time, improving braising efficiency.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above solution, the drive assembly includes a track disposed below the first support frame, and a plurality of sliding seats are slidably disposed on the track, the sliding seats driving the movable platform to move along the track trajectory together; A sprocket and chain assembly is rotatably mounted on the first support frame, and the sprocket is connected to a second drive source. The sliding seat and the chain are fixedly mounted to each other.

[0012] The improved technology has the following effects: the movement direction of the movable platform can be guided, allowing it to move along a predetermined route within the brine tank. Furthermore, multiple movable platforms can be driven synchronously via sprockets and chains, thereby driving the entire system to move and improving brine efficiency.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above solution, a connecting rod assembly is connected between the movable table and the sliding seat. The connecting rod assembly includes an outer tube body. The top of the outer tube body is fixed to the sliding seat. A connecting rod fixed to the movable table is movably arranged below the outer tube body. A guide piston is fixedly arranged at the top of the connecting rod and slidably arranged in the inner cavity of the outer tube body. A spring is arranged between the guide piston and the bottom wall of the outer tube body to drive the connecting rod to slide up and down elastically. The outer tube is also equipped with a cam that can push the guide piston up and down.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above solution, slide bars are fixedly installed on both sides of the first support frame, and several grooves with openings facing the same direction are provided on the slide bars. A lever is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft of the cam. The lever extends into the groove of the feeding area and changes its position in different grooves when the sliding seat moves the movable table.

[0015] The improved technical effect is as follows: by setting a slide bar, when the movable platform moves in the brine tank, the groove on the slide bar can continuously press down on the lever, thereby driving the cam to continuously press down on the guide piston and connecting rod, so that the container on the movable platform can move up and down continuously, thereby improving the brine effect.

[0016] As a further improvement to the above solution, the cleaning line includes a first transmission roller assembly, and a feeding area is provided on the starting side of the first transmission roller assembly. A washing machine, a dryer, and a stacking device are sequentially arranged along the transport direction of the first transmission roller assembly.

[0017] As a further improvement to the above solution, the stacking device includes a second support frame arranged above the first transfer roller assembly, and the second support frame is provided with a second clamping assembly for clamping and stacking the containers on the first transfer roller assembly together. A positioning rod is provided below the first transfer roller assembly, which is movable up and down to block the container so that it can be clamped by the second clamping assembly.

[0018] The improved technical effect is as follows: after the container placed on the first conveyor roller assembly is cleaned and dried by the washing machine and the dryer, it stops under the obstruction of the positioning rod, and then is continuously stacked together under the clamping of the second clamping assembly. After reaching a certain height, it is then conveyed, so as to reduce the space occupied by the container.

[0019] As a further improvement to the above solution, the unloading line includes a first elevator, a second transmission roller assembly connected to the first elevator, and unloading stations are provided on both sides of the second transmission roller assembly. The feeding line includes a third transmission roller assembly, a second elevator, and a destacking device arranged sequentially along the transport direction. The destacking device transfers the containers to the braising line.

[0020] The above-mentioned improved technical effects are as follows: the first elevator is used to transfer the braised eggs transported from the washing line to the second transmission roller assembly, and then separates the eggs and the container at the unloading station, and transfers the container into the first transmission roller assembly for washing. The cleaned containers are transferred from the cleaning line to the second elevator via the third transfer roller assembly. The second elevator then lifts the containers to a suitable position, and under the drive of the destacking device, the containers are individually disassembled and sent to the cleaning machine for further processing.

[0021] As a further improvement to the above solution, a transposition device is also provided between the cleaning line and the feeding line to facilitate the change of transport direction of the containers being transported. Several storage tanks for processing brine are installed on one side of the brine production line. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to embodiments. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention in any way.

[0025] like Figure 1-9 As shown, the specific solution of this embodiment is: an automatic braising production line for processed cooked eggs, including a braising line 10 and a cleaning line 11, as follows. Figure 1As shown, the braising line 10 and the washing line 11 are two parallel lines with opposite conveying directions. The braising line 10 is equipped with several containers 12 for holding eggs. The containers 12 are specifically trays for holding eggs. The containers 12 are stacked together and fed into the braising line 10, which can increase the amount of eggs braised at one time and improve the braising efficiency. The containers 12 are connected to a drive assembly that drives them to move from the feeding side to the discharging side of the braising line 10. The drive assembly is used to drive the stacked containers 12 to move towards the discharging side of the braising line 10 and to braise them in the brine of the braising line 10. The discharge side of the braising line 10 is equipped with an unloading line 13 that delivers the container 12 and the braised eggs. The unloading line 13 is used to remove the braised eggs from the container 12. The unloading line 13 is connected to the starting side of the material conveying of the washing line 11. The feeding side of the braising line 10 is equipped with a feeding line 14 that is connected to the tail end of the washing line 11. Therefore, during the operation of the entire production line, the container 12 is first transported to the feeding end of the braising line 10 to receive the eggs to be braised. Then, the container 12 containing the eggs is fed into the braising line 10 for braising and, driven by the drive component, moves towards the unloading line 13. After being braised in the braising line 10, the eggs are removed from the braising line 10 and transferred to the unloading line 13. The unloading line 13 removes the braised eggs from the container 12 and sends it away, transferring the container 12 to the cleaning line 11. The braised eggs are then removed for further processing. The cleaning line 11 cleans the container 12 and continuously conveys it to the feeding line 14, which replenishes the feed side of the braising line 10. This allows the transport of the container 12 to form a complete recycling line. The use of the container 12 allows the eggs to have less space during braising, preventing a large number of eggs from being crushed together.

[0026] Specifically, the unloading line 13 includes a first elevator 131, a second transmission roller assembly 132 connected to the first elevator 131, and unloading stations 133 located on both sides of the second transmission roller assembly 132, such as... Figure 1 , 9 The first elevator 131 lifts the braised eggs from the braising line 10 downwards onto the second transmission roller assembly 132, and then transports them through the second transmission roller assembly 132. Workers on both sides of the unloading station 133 separate the transported containers 12 and eggs and send them out, and transfer them to the cleaning line 11. A switching device 16 is also provided between the cleaning line 11 and the feeding line 14 to facilitate the change of transport direction of the transported containers 12. The switching device 16 can achieve 360° rotation. Several storage tanks 17 for processing brine are provided on one side of the brine production line 10.

[0027] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figures 4, 5, 6, and 7, in a preferred embodiment of the above-described braising line 10, the braising line 10 includes a braising tank 101 filled with braising liquid. The inflow and outflow of braising liquid are controlled by pipes within the braising tank 101. A separate filtration system is installed within the braising tank 101 to remove residue generated during the braising process. A first support frame 102 is arranged around the braising tank 101, extending from the inflow side to the outflow side. A first feeding assembly 103 and a second feeding assembly 104 are sequentially arranged on the braising tank 101 on the inflow side of the braising line 10, and a third feeding assembly 106 is arranged on the outflow side. The first feeding assembly 103 includes a feeding roller assembly 1031, and feeding belt assemblies 1032 are arranged interleaved within the intervals of the feeding roller assemblies 1031 in the transmission direction of the feeding roller assemblies 1031. Through the feeding roller assemblies 1031 and the feeding belt assemblies 1032, as shown in Figures 4, 5, 6, and 7, the braising process is as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the container 12 can be transported in two different staggered directions. Under the conveying of the feeding roller assembly 1031, the container 12 can be transported to the egg-filling position above the brine tank 101. The feeding belt assembly 1032 can send the container 12, which has been filled with eggs, out of the egg-filling work position. A hoist 15 is provided on the side near the first feeding assembly 103 to transport eggs onto the container 12. When the container 12 is filled with eggs, it is located directly below the hoist 15 by the conveying of the feeding roller assembly 1031 to receive the eggs.

[0028] Several movable platforms 107 are movably arranged inside the brine tank 101. After the container 12 is filled with eggs and stacked together, it is placed on the movable platform 107. The movable platform 107 moves horizontally inside the brine tank 101. Therefore, during the movement, the brine passes through the container 12, which is equivalent to stirring the eggs in the container 12. Moreover, during the process of the brine passing through, some of the broken egg residue in the container 12 can also be carried away. The movable platform 107 is connected to the drive component, which is set on the first support frame 102. A first clamping assembly 105 is movably mounted on the first support frame 102. After clamping the container 12, the first clamping assembly 105 transports it from the second feeding assembly 104 to the third feeding assembly 106, or from the movable platform 107 to the third feeding assembly 106. The first clamping assembly 105 mainly undertakes the functions of clamping, stacking, and transferring the container 12 on the movable platform 107. Under the action of the first clamping assembly 105, it can adapt to the high temperature of the brine. Specifically, the first clamping assembly 105 includes clamping plates 1051, which are slidably mounted in pairs on the mounting base 1052. (Refer to the attached drawing.) Figure 6As shown, the mounting base 1052 is provided with a first drive source for clamping or releasing the container 12 by driving the clamping plate 1051. In this embodiment, the first drive source is a cylinder to control the clamping and releasing action of the clamping plate 1051. A movable seat 1054 is slidably disposed above the mounting base 1052. The movable seat 1054 is slidably disposed on the first support frame 102. A drive motor 1055 is provided on the movable seat 1054 to drive it to reciprocate on the first support frame 102. Specifically, a rack is provided on the first support frame 102. The drive motor 1055 is connected to a gear that meshes with a rack and pinion after being reduced in speed by a reducer; the movable seat 1054 is also equipped with a telescopic cylinder 1053 that drives the mounting seat 1052 to move up and down. The drive motor 1055 mainly drives the movable seat 1054, the mounting seat 1052, and the clamping plate 1051 to move back and forth in a straight line along the transport direction of the brine line 10, and the telescopic cylinder 1053 mainly drives the mounting seat 1052 and the clamping plate 1051 to move up and down, thereby completing the loading and unloading action of the container 12 on the movable table 107.

[0029] The drive assembly includes a track 108 disposed below the first support frame 102, as shown in the attached drawing. Figure 4 Several sliding seats 109 are slidably arranged on the track 108. The sliding seats 109 drive the movable platform 107 to move along the track 108. A sprocket and chain assembly is rotatably arranged on the first support frame 102. The sliding seats 109 and the chain are fixed to each other. The sprocket is connected to a second drive source. Specifically, the second drive source is a motor set on the first support frame 102. The output shaft of the motor is connected to a reducer. The output shaft of the reducer and one of the sprockets are connected to each other. This allows the sprocket to drive the movable platform 107 to move slowly in the brine tank 101 so that the eggs in the container 12 have sufficient brine time. A connecting rod assembly 1010 connects the movable platform 107 and the sliding seat 109. The connecting rod assembly 1010 includes an outer tube 10101, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 3 , 5 The top of the outer tube 10101 is fixed to the sliding seat 109. A connecting rod 10102, which is fixed to the movable platform 107, is movably arranged below the outer tube 10101. A guide piston 10103, which is slidably arranged with the inner cavity of the outer tube 10101, is fixedly arranged on the top of the connecting rod 10102. A spring 10104, which drives the connecting rod 10102 to slide up and down elastically, is arranged between the guide piston 10103 and the bottom wall of the outer tube 10101. A cam 10105, which can push the guide piston 10103 to move up and down, is also rotatably arranged on the outer tube 10101.

[0030] Slide bars 1012 are fixedly installed on both sides of the first support frame 102. Several grooves with downward openings are provided on the slide bars 1012. A lever 1011 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft of the cam 10105. The lever 1011 extends into the groove of the slide bar 1012 and changes its position in different grooves when the sliding seat 109 drives the movable table 107 to move. When the roller at the end of the lever 1011 contacts the groove wall of the slide bar 1012, it will exert a downward squeezing force on the lever 1011, thereby driving the cam 10105 to squeeze the guide piston 10103 and the connecting rod 10102 downward. After the lever 1011 passes through the groove wall of the slide bar 1012 and extends into the groove, it moves upward under the rebound of the spring 10104. Therefore, it can realize the vertical position shaking during transportation to improve the stirring effect similar to that in brine and improve the braising effect.

[0031] like Figure 1 , 8 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the cleaning line 11 includes a first conveyor roller assembly 111. A feeding area 112 is provided on the starting side of the first conveyor roller assembly 111, where manual labor is used to place containers 12 onto the first conveyor roller assembly 111 for cleaning. A cleaning machine 113, a dryer 114, and a stacking device 115 are sequentially arranged along the transport direction of the first conveyor roller assembly 111. The cleaning machine 113 uses cleaning water and is located around the first conveyor roller assembly 111, directly cleaning and rinsing the containers 12 on it. The dryer 114 is a hot air dryer, also located around the first conveyor roller assembly 111 and connected to the cleaning machine 113. The containers 12 cleaned in the cleaning machine 113 directly enter the dryer 114 for drying. Both the cleaning machine 113 and the dryer 114 are existing technologies, which can be directly obtained by those skilled in the art and do not require further description. Additionally, the stacking device 115 includes a second support frame 1151 arranged above the first transfer roller assembly 111. The second support frame 1151 is provided with a second clamping assembly 1152 for clamping and stacking the containers 12 on the first transfer roller assembly 111. Specifically, the second clamping assembly 1152 has the same structure as the clamping plate 1051, mounting base 1052, and telescopic cylinder 1053. Compared to the first clamping assembly 105, it does not have a structure similar to a laterally movable moving seat 1054 and a drive motor 1055. A positioning rod 1153 is movably arranged below the first transfer roller assembly 111, and the positioning rod 1153 is used to block the containers 12 to facilitate the stacking of the first transfer roller assembly 111. The second clamping assembly 1152 clamps the container, and the lower part of the positioning rod 1153 is connected to the drive cylinder that drives it to move up and down. The drive cylinder is fixedly mounted on the support frame of the first transmission roller assembly 111. Therefore, under the conveying of the first transmission roller assembly 111, the container 12 after being cleaned and dried on the washing machine 113 and the dryer 114 can be transported to the bottom of the stacking device 115. Under the obstruction of the positioning rod 1153, the container 12 stops being conveyed. Under the continuous clamping and releasing action of the second clamping assembly 1152, multiple containers 12 can be stacked together until a suitable height is reached to complete the stacking. The stacked containers save space occupied by the containers 12.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the above, the feeding line 14 includes a third transmission roller assembly 141, a second elevator 142, and a destacking device 143 arranged sequentially along the transport direction. The destacking device 143 transfers the container 12 to the braising line 10. The third transmission roller assembly 141 has the same structure as the second transmission roller assembly 132, and the second elevator 142 has the same structure as the first elevator 131. It is used to lift the container 12 to the same height as the braising line 10. The destacking device 143 mainly transfers the container 12 lifted by the second elevator 142 one by one to the first feeding assembly 103 for egg loading.

[0033] The specific working principle of this invention is as follows: After the brine is prepared by the storage tank 17, it is introduced into the brine tank 101. Then, the elevator 15 is started to send the eggs to be braised to the container 12 on the first feeding component 103. Under the conveying of the feeding belt component 1032, the eggs are transported to the second feeding component 104. Then, under the continuous clamping and stacking of the first clamping component 105, the eggs are combined together. After reaching the stacking height, the first clamping component 105 clamps the stacked container 12 and places it on the movable platform 107. Under the drive of the drive component, the eggs in the container 12 move in the brine for braising. When the container 12 approaches the unloading line 13, the first clamping assembly 105 on the discharge side takes the container 12 off the movable table 107 and places it on the third feeding assembly 106. The third feeding assembly 106 transfers the container 12 to the first elevator 131, and the first elevator 131 then transfers it to the second transmission roller assembly 132. Workers on both sides of the unloading station 133 separate the container 12 from the egg and transfer the container 12 to the first transmission roller assembly 111. The first transmission roller assembly 111 conveys the container 12 through the feeding area 112 and the washing machine 113 for cleaning and drying. Under the obstruction of the positioning rod 1153, it is transported to the bottom of the stacking device 115 and stacked under the support of the second clamping assembly 1152. The stacked container 12 is then transported forward by the first transmission roller assembly 111 to the position of the switching device 16. The switching device 16 transfers it to the feeding line 14. The second elevator 142 lifts the transferred container 12 and then, under the clamping of the destacking device 143, places the container 12 one by one on the feeding roller assembly 1031. The feeding roller assembly 1031 transports the container 12 back to the bottom of the elevator 15 to continue holding eggs for braising.
