Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of conveying machinery, and in particular to a white egg lossless conveying device. Background Art

[0002] White eggs are the only part of the egg white and yolk obtained after the raw egg is boiled and peeled. After the white eggs are input into the downstream process of braising and other processes for further processing, egg products such as braising eggs can be finally obtained. The egg white in the white egg is relatively tender and is prone to breakage when squeezed or collided. The broken white eggs cannot be used for subsequent processing and become waste materials, which will lead to waste of raw materials and energy. Based on this, after obtaining the white eggs, they are generally picked up manually and placed on a vessel, transferred to the equipment such as the braising machine, and then manually input into the equipment for braising. The overall labor intensity is large, the efficiency is low, and it is still difficult to avoid the breakage of the white eggs. For this reason, the inventor considers using a hydraulic method to transport the white eggs between adjacent processes, using water as a carrier, and can use the blocking effect of the water body on the white eggs to reduce the collision and extrusion between the white eggs and reduce the breakage rate of the white eggs. However, the hydraulic conveying method needs to be implemented based on a flow channel with a certain height difference from high to low. In the actual site, the white egg production equipment and braising machines are fixed in shape, the distance is fixed and it is not easy to raise them. The equipment in adjacent processes cannot produce the channel slope required for hydraulic conveying, so the hydraulic conveying technology cannot be implemented at present.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. In the following detailed description, certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described only by way of illustration. Needless to say, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the described embodiments may be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are illustrative in nature and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the claims.

[0016] Embodiment 1: Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the egg white lossless conveying device comprises a tank body 1, a lifting channel 2 is provided in the tank body 1, a floating body 3 which is arranged to move up and down is installed in the lifting channel 2, and the floating body 3 is connected to a sinking and floating driving mechanism 4; the floating body 3 comprises a low-position material receiving state and a high-position material discharging state. Driven by the sinking and floating driving mechanism 4, the floating body 3 can sink to the low-position material receiving state, or float to the high-position material discharging state.

[0017] The sinking and floating driving mechanism 4 of this embodiment includes an air-filling chamber 41 arranged in the floating body 3, a water-passing port 42 connected to the lifting channel 2 is arranged on the bottom wall of the air-filling chamber 41, and the air-filling chamber 41 is connected to an air-filling and discharging structure 43; a chain-type counterweight structure 44 is installed on the top wall of the air-filling chamber 41, which passes through the water-passing port 42 and is vertically arranged. When the air-filling and discharging structure 43 fills a certain amount of gas into the air-filling chamber 41, the water in the air-filling chamber 41 is squeezed out, and the buoyancy of the floating body 3 increases, but the weight of the floating body 3 remains unchanged. In this case where the gravity is less than the buoyancy, the floating body 3 will produce an upward movement, and the upward process will simultaneously bring up more chain links in the chain-type counterweight structure 44, and the brought up chain links will act as counterweights, which will increase the overall weight of the floating body 3, so that the floating body 3 will soon form a suspended state where the gravity and buoyancy are equal. On the contrary, when the inflation and deflation structure 43 releases a certain amount of gas from the inflation cavity 41 , the floating body 3 will sink.

[0018] By indirectly driving the sinking and floating by the above-mentioned inflation and deflation operation, the oil pollution caused by the use of mechanical structures can be avoided, and the cleanliness of the transportation environment can be ensured. The addition of the chain-type counterweight structure 44 as the counterweight of the sinking and floating process makes it easier to control the driving of the sinking and floating by inflation and deflation, and improves the stability of the sinking and floating driving process. Among them, the inflation and deflation structure 43 includes an air pipe extending into the inflation chamber 41, and the air pipe extending out of the inflation chamber 41 is respectively connected to an inflation pump and an air release valve. When inflating, the air release valve is closed, and the inflation pump fills gas into the inflation chamber 41 and stops after the float 3 reaches the required position; when deflation, the air release valve is opened. The chain-type counterweight structure 44 can be implemented by an interlocking chain link structure, and each chain link forms the above-mentioned chain link. It can also be formed by other counterweight bodies and adjacent ones are connected by flexible ropes or hooking structures, and each counterweight body forms the above-mentioned chain link. This embodiment is not limited to this and only illustrates the former. Of course, in addition to the above-mentioned inflation and deflation structure 43, the sinking and floating driving mechanism 4 can also directly adopt a driving cylinder or a motor to drive the lifting rod connected to the floating body 3 to lift and lower. These means should also be within the protection scope of the sinking and floating driving mechanism 4.

[0019] A feed port 21 is provided on the side wall of the lifting channel 2, and the feed port 21 is not lower than the position of the floating body 3 in the low-position material receiving state; of course, a feed switch for opening and closing the feed port 21 is preferably provided at the feed port 21. A discharge port 22 is also provided on the side wall of the lifting channel 2, and the discharge port 22 is not lower than the position of the floating body 3 in the high-position material discharging state; of course, a discharge switch for opening and closing the discharge port 22 is also preferably provided at the discharge port 22.

[0020] The lifting channel 2 is provided with a discharge driving structure 5 for driving the white eggs 9 to the discharge port 22. The discharge port 22 of this embodiment is arranged tangentially on the cross section of the lifting channel 2, and the discharge driving structure 5 includes a flushing pipe 51 for forming a vortex flow in the fluid above the float 3, and the flushing pipe 51 is connected to a flushing pump 52. When the float 3 rises to a high-position discharge state, the flushing pump 52 fills water flow into the lifting channel 2 through the flushing pipe 51, driving the fluid above the float 3 to form a vortex flow, and the white eggs 9 in the water body approach the side wall of the lifting channel 2 under the action of centrifugal force and move with the vortex flow, and when passing through the discharge port 22, they are discharged under the action of centrifugal force; of course, the water body is discharged together with the output.

[0021] Preferably, a groove protrusion 31 is provided in the middle of the top surface of the floating body 3, and a material storage groove 32 is formed between the groove protrusion 31 and the side wall of the lifting channel 2, and the flushing pipe 51 is used to tangentially flush into the material storage groove 32. Through this arrangement, the white egg 9 itself is located in the outer ring position above the floating body 3, and under the hydraulic impulse, the white egg 9 can be quickly output, thereby improving the transfer efficiency.

[0022] During operation, the lifting channel 2 is filled with water, and when the floating body 3 is driven by the sinking and floating driving mechanism 4 to a low-position material receiving state, the feed port 21 is opened, and the white eggs 9 are input into the lifting channel 2 from the feed port 21 and are located above the floating body 3. The input here is usually accompanied by the input of water. Preferably, an overflow port is provided at the upper part of the side wall of the lifting channel 2, which is not lower than the discharge port 22, to prevent the water from overflowing the lifting channel 2 and causing a waste of water resources.

[0023] After the input is completed, the feed port 21 is closed, and the float 3 is driven by the sinking and floating driving mechanism 4 to float to a high position for discharging, and the white eggs 9 are carried by the float 3 to the height of the discharging port 22. The discharging port 22 is opened, and the discharging driving structure 5 drives the white eggs 9 on the float 3 to the discharging port 22 to complete the output of the white eggs 9. After the output, the discharging port 22 is closed, and the sinking and floating driving mechanism 4 drives the float 3 to sink, and the above-mentioned lifting and conveying process is repeated.

[0024] Through the above structural principle, this embodiment realizes the staged lifting of the white eggs 9, so that the subsequent flow channel type hydraulic transportation can produce the required channel drop, and achieve the purpose of hydraulic transportation. And no matter in the above lifting process or the subsequent transportation process, the white eggs 9 are always in the water environment, and the water body blocks the movement of the white eggs 9. There is no obvious collision and squeezing between the white eggs 9, and the breakage rate can be significantly reduced during the whole transportation process.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown together, the discharge port 22 of this embodiment is connected to a conveying channel 6, and the conveying channel 6 is gradually lowered along the conveying direction, so as to form a long-distance hydraulic conveying of the white eggs 9 after lifting and output. A drain port 61 is provided at the bottom of the discharge end of the conveying channel 6, and the water used to transport the white eggs 9 in the conveying channel 6 is automatically drained at the drain port 61, and only the white eggs 9 are output from the discharge end of the conveying channel 6.

[0026] Preferably, the drain port 61 is connected to a water receiving container 7, and the connection here can be achieved by setting a water receiving bucket below the drain port 61, and then guiding the water received by the water receiving bucket to the water receiving container 7; the water receiving container 7 is provided with a water pumping port, and the water pumping port is connected to a circulating water pump 71, and the water outlet of the circulating water pump 71 is connected to a flushing pipe 51 extending into the lifting channel 2, and the flushing pipe 51 is used to drive the white eggs 9 above the floating body 3 to the discharge port 22, and the circulating water pump 71 and the flushing pipe 51 also serve as the discharge driving structure 5, that is, the circulating water pump 71 also serves as the flushing pump 52. According to this, the present embodiment realizes the recycling of water and reduces the waste of water resources.

[0027] Embodiment 2: Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that: the conveying flow channel 6 includes a conveying main flow channel 62, and at least two sequentially arranged drop ports 63 are provided at the bottom of the conveying main flow channel 62, and a drop switch for opening and closing the corresponding drop port 63 is provided at each drop port 63, and a conveying branch flow channel 64 is provided below each drop port 63, and the drain port 61 is provided at the bottom of the discharge end of each conveying branch flow channel 64. Through the arrangement of the conveying main flow channel 62 and the conveying branch flow channel 64, and the control of the drop switch, the white eggs 9 output from the discharge port 22 can be selectively output from a certain conveying branch flow channel 64, and accordingly, this embodiment is convenient for use with multiple downstream marinating machines 8 and other equipment.

[0028] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.
