Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of egg liquid extraction, and particularly to an egg liquid extraction system. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the technological process of extracting egg liquid is usually for cooking needs (such as steamed eggs, scrambled eggs, baking, etc.). The main steps are simple and easy to perform, but attention should be paid to hygiene and operation skills. The following is a detailed process introduction. 1. Check the freshness of eggs Gently shake the egg: If there is no obvious shaking inside, it indicates that the egg is relatively fresh; Observe the eggshell: There are no cracks and no obvious stains (the eggshell can be wiped with a damp cloth first).

[0003] 2. Break the egg Method 1 (single - hand operation): Hold the egg in hand and gently tap the middle of the eggshell on the edge of the bowl to make a crack; Use the thumb to break open the eggshell and let the egg liquid flow into the bowl.

[0004] Method 2 (two - hand operation): Pinch the egg with two fingers, make a crack on the edge of the bowl, and then break open the eggshell with both hands.

[0005] Deficiencies of the prior art: 1. Hygiene and safety hazards Risk of eggshell contamination: The surface of the eggshell is easily contaminated with pathogens such as Salmonella and Escherichia coli. When manually breaking eggs, the egg liquid may come into contact with the contaminants on the outside of the eggshell, leading to cross - infection. If eggshell fragments fall into the egg liquid, bacteria may be directly introduced, and there is a food safety risk for raw or under - heated egg liquid (such as soft - boiled eggs and salad dressings).

[0006] Contamination of the operator's hands: If hands are not thoroughly washed or tools are not disinfected strictly, bacteria on the hands or tools may contaminate the egg liquid.

[0007] 2. Low operation efficiency Time - consuming for batch processing: Each egg needs to be broken and the eggshell and egg liquid need to be separated. When processing a large number of eggs, the time consumption increases significantly.

[0008] 3. High requirements for operation techniques Strong dependence on skills: Knocking force: If the force is too strong, eggshell fragments are likely to splash; if too light, multiple knocks are required, increasing the risk of contamination. Summary of the Invention

When the two flexible vacuum suction cups 203 move closer to each other, they can clamp and adsorb the raw eggs. When the two flexible vacuum suction cups 203 rotate synchronously, they can drive the raw eggs to rotate.

[0033] As shown Figures 1 to 3 in FIG. 1, the eggshell breaking module 300 is located on one side of the egg taking module 200 and is used for breaking the raw eggs at the eggshell breaking station. The eggshell breaking module 300 includes: a pen-shaped engraving machine 301 which can move along the Y-axis and is used for breaking the raw eggs, and an external moving mechanism can be used to drive the pen-shaped engraving machine 301 to move along the Y-axis.

[0034] As shown Figures 1 to 3 in FIG. 2, the egg liquid collecting module 400 is located on one side of the egg taking module 200 and is used for collecting the egg liquid of the raw eggs broken by the eggshell breaking module 300. The egg liquid collecting module 400 includes: a conveying line 401 and a plurality of collecting bottles 402. The conveying line 401 conveys materials along the X-axis; the plurality of collecting bottles 402 are located on the conveying line 401 and are conveyed to the corresponding egg liquid collecting positions by the conveying line 401 for collecting the egg liquid, and the collecting bottles 402 filled with egg liquid are conveyed away.

[0035] Furthermore, as shown Figures 1 to 3 in FIG. 3, the egg liquid collecting module 400 further includes: guiding guardrails 403 which are arranged on both sides of the conveying line 401 and are used for guiding the plurality of collecting bottles 402 conveyed by the conveying line 401 and restricting the collecting bottles 402.

[0036] As shown Figures 1 to 3 in FIG. 4, the eggshell collecting module 500 is located on one side of the egg liquid collecting module 400 and is used for collecting the eggshells of the raw eggs broken by the eggshell breaking module 300. The eggshell collecting module 500 includes: a storage barrel 501, a second linear module 502 and a guiding plate 503. The storage barrel 501 is used for collecting the eggshells; the second linear module 502 provides the driving force for the movement along the X-axis; the guiding plate 503 is arranged at the output end of the second linear module 502 and moves along the X-axis under the action of the second linear module 502. The guiding plate 503 is used for receiving the eggshells of the broken raw eggs and guiding the eggshells to be conveyed into the storage barrel 501.

[0037] Furthermore, as shown Figures 1 to 3 in FIG. 5, an egg liquid taking system according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes: an ultraviolet lamp (not shown in the figure) which is arranged on the egg taking module 200 and is arranged towards the direction of the raw eggs grabbed by the egg taking module 200 and is used for irradiating the raw eggs and can be lit according to requirements.

[0038] Furthermore, as shown Figures 1 to 3 in FIG. 6, an egg liquid taking system according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes: a frame 600 which is connected to the placing module 100, the egg taking module 200, the eggshell breaking module 300, the egg liquid collecting module 400 and the eggshell collecting module 500. The frame 600 serves as the support frame of the whole device.

[0039] Working principle: 1. Stage of clamping and transporting raw eggs When the raw eggs are on the placement tray 102, due to their own weight, the raw eggs fall along the spiral to the picking position.

[0040] Driven by the rotating and moving device 202, the two flexible vacuum suction cups 203 approach and close to each other along the X-axis. After contacting both sides of the raw egg, the two flexible vacuum suction cups 203 evacuate to grab and adsorb both sides of the raw egg. When the adsorption is firm, the flipping drive device operates to drive the two flexible vacuum suction cups 203 and the rotating and moving device 202 to flip, so that the raw egg clamped and adsorbed by the two flexible vacuum suction cups 203 is flipped to the shell-breaking station, that is, in front of the pen-shaped engraving machine 301.

[0041] 2. Shell-breaking stage.

[0042] When the raw egg is flipped to the shell-breaking station, that is, in front of the pen-shaped engraving machine 301, the ultraviolet lamp starts to emit light, and the ultraviolet light irradiates the surface of the raw egg to disinfect the egg surface. Driven by the rotating and moving device 202, the two flexible vacuum suction cups 203 start to drive the raw egg to rotate, so that the ultraviolet lamp completes the irradiation of the entire raw egg, that is, the entire disinfection is completed.

[0043] After the whole-week disinfection is completed, the pen-shaped engraving machine 301 starts to move along the Y-axis to the surface of the raw eggshell. The head drill of the pen-shaped engraving machine 301 starts to work to cut a hole in the eggshell. Driven by the rotating and moving device 202, the two flexible vacuum suction cups 203 start to drive the raw egg to rotate again, so that the pen-shaped engraving machine 301 completes the cutting of the entire eggshell.

[0044] 3. Stage of collecting egg liquid After the eggshell is cut, the two flexible vacuum suction cups 203 separate, and the egg liquid falls by its own weight into the collection bottle 402 on the conveyor line 401. When the collection bottle 402 is full, the conveyor line 401 works to remove the full collection bottle 402 and at the same time move in an empty collection bottle 402.

[0045] 4. Stage of collecting eggshells After collecting the egg liquid, the second linear module 502 drives the guide plate 503 to move along the X-axis to the lower part of the two flexible vacuum suction cups 203. The two flexible vacuum suction cups 203 evacuate and release, no longer adsorbing the eggshell of the raw egg. The eggshell of the raw egg falls under its own weight onto the guide plate 503 and falls into the storage barrel 501 along the slope of the guide plate 503 by its own weight. When the height of the eggshell in the storage barrel 501 reaches the preset height, the equipment will automatically alarm to prompt the operator to remove the storage barrel 501.

[0046] The above is for reference Figures 1 to 3Describes an egg liquid extraction system according to an embodiment of the present invention, having the following beneficial effects: 1. Improve food safety: Reduce the risk of eggshell contamination. The whole process is completed by equipment without manual participation, avoiding the possible contamination of the egg liquid by bacteria on hands or tools.

[0047] 2. Improve efficiency: The whole process of extracting egg liquid is completed by equipment, avoiding the fatigue caused by long-term manual labor and improving efficiency.

[0048] 3. Resource waste and cost issues: Improve the egg liquid collection rate. The eggshells are separated by a carving drill bit without being damaged, and the complete shape improves the removal efficiency of the egg liquid while preventing broken eggshells from falling into the egg liquid.

[0049] 4. Improve the adaptability of application scenarios: Suitable for large-scale demands. Under the condition of a large demand for egg liquid, using this equipment can improve the egg collection efficiency. If multiple devices are connected in parallel in the future, it can meet the large-scale demand for egg liquid.

[0050] 5. Alleviate psychological and experience problems: Reduce the operator's resistance. Avoid the operator's direct contact with the egg liquid and prevent the possible psychological discomfort caused by bare-handed operation.
