Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of egg processing, in particular to a duck egg starching machine. Background Art

[0002] Salted eggs are usually made by coating the surface of duck eggs with slurry, which forms a coating layer after solidification. Since the slurry contains salt, the duck eggs will undergo a qualitative change after the coating is left to stand for a period of time, thus obtaining salted eggs. In the past, the production of salted eggs was usually done manually, with low efficiency and uneven quality. Today, with the industrial development of food processing, the production of salted eggs has also begun to enter mechanized production.

[0003] Regarding the sizing treatment of duck eggs, the structure of the most common duck egg sizing machine is relatively simple. The duck eggs enter the conveyor belt from the feeding place, and are transferred to the liquid tank (that is, the slurry pool) through the conveyor belt, and the sizing is achieved by soaking in the slurry. The disadvantage of this traditional design is that the duck eggs are introduced into the liquid tank through an inclined linear slide at the end of the conveyor belt. Since the duck eggs are continuously fed into the liquid tank through the conveyor belt, it is easy for the duck eggs to be retained at the landing point, which will cause the duck eggs entering the liquid tank from front and back to collide, causing the eggshell of the duck egg to break. After the eggshell breaks, the slurry will directly invade the duck egg, contaminating the duck egg and causing the product to be defective (NG).

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the traditional duck egg sizing machine to solve the problems of duck eggs being retained and collided in the process from the conveyor belt to the liquid tank and improve the product yield. Utility Model Content

[0005] Based on this, the utility model provides a duck egg sizing machine, which utilizes a guide component for guiding the duck eggs to fall into a liquid tank in an offset manner, and cooperates with a sizing component that can drive the circulation of the slurry, so that the duck eggs can fall into the liquid tank in an offset manner and quickly leave the landing point, thereby solving the problem of duck eggs being retained and colliding in the process of moving from the conveyor belt to the liquid tank, and improving the product yield.

[0006] A duck egg starching machine, comprising:

[0007] Conveyor belt; conveyor belt is used to carry and transfer duck eggs;

[0008] A sizing assembly is provided adjacent to the conveyor belt; the sizing assembly comprises: a liquid tank located at the output end of the conveyor belt, a stirring blade located in the liquid tank, and a driver connected to the stirring blade; the liquid tank is used to load the slurry; the driver is used to drive the stirring blade to rotate so as to drive the slurry to circulate in a preset direction; and

[0009] A guide assembly located between a conveyor belt and a sizing assembly; the guide assembly comprises: a first guide member and a second guide member arranged side by side; input ends of the first guide member and the second guide member are both connected to the output end of the conveyor belt, and output ends of the first guide member and the second guide member are both extended into the liquid tank; the first guide member is provided with a plurality of mutually parallel first arc-shaped slide rails; the second guide member is provided with a plurality of mutually parallel second arc-shaped slide rails; inlet ends of the first arc-shaped slide rail and the second arc-shaped slide rail are arranged in parallel with each other, and outlet ends of the first arc-shaped slide rail and the second arc-shaped slide rail are arranged in staggered relation with each other.

[0010] When the duck egg sizing machine is working, multiple duck eggs are loaded through the input end of the conveyor belt, and then transferred to the liquid tank under the drive of the conveyor belt. When multiple duck eggs reach the output end of the conveyor belt, they are divided into the first guide and the second guide to be introduced into the liquid tank. The first guide is provided with multiple first arc-shaped slide rails parallel to each other, and the second guide is provided with multiple second arc-shaped slide rails parallel to each other, which function is similar to an arc-shaped runway, forming a length difference on the path. At the same time, the inlet ends of the first arc-shaped slide rail and the second arc-shaped slide rail are arranged in parallel with each other, and the outlet ends of the first arc-shaped slide rail and the second arc-shaped slide rail are arranged in a staggered manner, so the time and landing point of multiple duck eggs when sliding out from the first arc-shaped slide rail and the second arc-shaped slide rail are different. Moreover, the slurry in the liquid tank circulates in a preset direction under the stirring of the stirring blade. When the duck eggs fall into the liquid tank, they will follow the flowing slurry and flow away, thereby achieving the effect of landing point dislocation and flow displacement after falling into the liquid tank. Through the above design, the guide component for guiding the duck eggs to fall into the liquid tank is used, and the sizing component that can drive the circulation of the slurry is used, so that the duck eggs can fall into the liquid tank in an offset manner and quickly leave the landing point, thereby solving the problem of duck eggs being retained and colliding in the process from the conveyor belt to the liquid tank, and improving the product yield.

[0011] In one embodiment, the conveyor belt is provided with a plurality of rollers arranged in sequence in a conveying direction; each roller is sleeved with a plurality of rollers distributed in sequence in an axial direction; each roller is provided with a limiting groove for limiting the position of the duck egg. When conveying the duck egg, the roller is driven to rotate by the roller, and then cooperates with the limiting groove to make the duck egg roll toward the liquid tank along the preset conveying direction. This design can better adapt to the elliptical shape of the duck egg and has high conveying efficiency.

[0012] In one embodiment, the sizing assembly further includes: a bracket connected to the liquid tank; the liquid tank is mounted on the top of the bracket; the driver is mounted on the bracket; the rotating shaft of the stirring blade passes through the bottom of the liquid tank and is connected to the driver. The bracket is used to provide a stable and reliable support structure for the liquid tank to reduce the probability of shaking of the liquid tank during the flow of the slurry.

[0013] In one embodiment, an adjustable foot pad is provided at the bottom of the bracket; the adjustable foot pad is used to adjust the height position of the liquid tank. The height position of the liquid tank is adjusted by adjusting the adjustable foot pad, so that the height positions of the transmission belt, the guide assembly, and the liquid tank are mutually adapted.

[0014] In one embodiment, a drain valve is provided at the bottom of the liquid tank, and the drain valve is used to empty the liquid tank after the sizing operation is completed.

[0015] In one embodiment, the first guide member and the second guide member are both formed by welding metal rods. The structure of welding metal rods is strong in structural stability and simple in manufacture, which is conducive to controlling costs and reducing the difficulty of later maintenance and cleaning.

[0016] In one embodiment, the outlet ends of the first arc-shaped slide rail and the second arc-shaped slide rail are mutually staggered in the horizontal direction and the height direction. The all-round staggered setting in the horizontal and height directions can better reduce the risk of duck egg collision.

[0017] In one embodiment, the duck egg sizing machine further includes: an infusion tube and a liquid pump connected to the infusion tube; the liquid pump is used to drive the slurry from the liquid storage device storing the slurry to the liquid tank. The liquid tank can be replenished with liquid in time through the infusion tube and the liquid pump. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0036] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, it is a duck egg battering machine 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the duck egg sizing machine 100 comprises: a conveyor belt 10, a sizing assembly 20 disposed adjacent to the conveyor belt 10, and a guide assembly 30 located between the conveyor belt 10 and the sizing assembly 20. The conveyor belt 10 is used to carry and transfer duck eggs. The sizing assembly 20 is used to coat the duck eggs. The guide assembly 30 is used to guide the duck eggs from the conveyor belt 10 to the sizing assembly 20.

[0038] Below, combined Figures 1 to 7 , the above-mentioned duck egg battering machine 100 is further explained.

[0039] In this embodiment, a rolling structure is used to transport duck eggs. Figure 1As shown, the conveyor belt 10 is provided with a plurality of rollers arranged in sequence along the conveying direction, each roller is sleeved with a plurality of rollers distributed in sequence along the axial direction, and each roller is provided with a limiting groove for limiting the position of the duck eggs. When conveying the duck eggs, the rollers are driven to rotate by the rollers, and then cooperate with the limiting grooves to make the duck eggs roll toward the liquid tank 21 along the preset conveying direction. This design can better adapt to the elliptical shape of the duck eggs and has high conveying efficiency.

[0040] In other embodiments, a belt conveyor 10 may also be used to transport duck eggs.

[0041] It should be noted that each roller can be rotated synchronously with a motor through a chain or a belt.

[0042] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the sizing assembly 20 includes: a liquid tank 21 located at the output end of the conveyor belt 10, a stirring blade 22 located in the liquid tank 21, and a driver 23 connected to the stirring blade 22. The liquid tank 21 is used to load the slurry, and the driver 23 is used to drive the stirring blade 22 to rotate so as to drive the slurry to circulate in a preset direction.

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the liquid tank 21 is designed as a disc-shaped structure, and this shape is more compatible with the flowing slurry, reducing the collision between the slurry and the inner wall of the liquid tank 21, so that the slurry flows more smoothly.

[0044] In addition, considering that the salt content in the slurry for making salted eggs is relatively high, in order to improve the corrosion resistance and extend the service life of the equipment, a targeted anti-rust layer can be provided on the inner wall of the disc and the surface of the stirring blade 22 .

[0045] In addition, in order to facilitate cleaning, in some embodiments, a drain valve may be provided at the bottom of the liquid tank 21. The drain valve is used to empty the liquid tank 21 after the sizing operation is completed.

[0046] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the sizing assembly 20 may further include: a bracket 24 connected to the liquid tank 21. The liquid tank 21 is installed on the top of the bracket 24. The driver 23 is installed on the bracket 24. The rotating shaft of the stirring blade 22 passes through the bottom of the liquid tank 21 and is connected to the driver 23. The bracket 24 is used to provide a stable and reliable support structure for the liquid tank 21, reducing the probability of the liquid tank 21 shaking during the slurry circulation process.

[0047] Further, in this embodiment, the bottom of the bracket 24 may be provided with an adjustable foot pad 241. The adjustable foot pad 241 is used to adjust the height position of the liquid tank 21. By adjusting the adjustable foot pad 241 to adjust the height position of the liquid tank 21, the height positions of the transmission belt, the guide assembly 30, and the liquid tank 21 are adapted to each other.

[0048] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the guide assembly 30 includes: a first guide member 31 and a second guide member 32 arranged side by side. Figure 1 As shown, the input ends of the first guide member 31 and the second guide member 32 are both connected to the output end of the conveyor belt 10, and the output ends of the first guide member 31 and the second guide member 32 are both extended into the liquid tank 21. The first guide member 31 is provided with a plurality of mutually parallel first arc-shaped slide rails 311. The second guide member 32 is provided with a plurality of mutually parallel second arc-shaped slide rails 321. The inlet ends of the first arc-shaped slide rail 311 and the second arc-shaped slide rail 321 are arranged parallel to each other, and the outlet ends of the first arc-shaped slide rail 311 and the second arc-shaped slide rail 321 are arranged offset from each other. After the duck eggs enter the guide assembly 30 from the output end of the conveyor belt, they are guided by the first guide assembly 30 and the second guide assembly 30 and are introduced into the liquid tank 21 along a preset arc track.

[0049] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the first guide member 31 and the second guide member 32 are both formed by welding metal rods. The structure of metal rod welding is strong in structural stability and simple in manufacture, which is conducive to controlling costs and reducing the difficulty of later maintenance and cleaning.

[0050] In order to reduce the risk of collision between duck eggs as much as possible, the outlet ends of the first arc-shaped slide rail 311 and the second arc-shaped slide rail 321 are mutually staggered in the horizontal direction and the height direction. A full range of staggered settings in the horizontal and height directions can better reduce the risk of duck egg collision.

[0051] In order to improve the efficiency of grouting the liquid tank 21, in other embodiments, the duck egg sizing machine 100 may further include: an infusion tube and a liquid pump connected to the infusion tube. The liquid pump is used to drive the slurry from a liquid storage device (such as a storage tank, a liquid storage pool, etc.) storing the slurry to the liquid tank 21. The liquid tank 21 can be replenished with liquid in a timely manner through the infusion tube and the liquid pump.

[0052] Here, a reflux pipe connected to the drain valve mentioned above can also be provided, and the reflux pipe is connected to a liquid storage device for storing slurry, so that the liquid storage device, liquid pump, liquid infusion pipe, liquid tank 21, drain valve, and reflux pipe form a system for circulating slurry.

[0053] Brief description of working principle:

[0054] like Figure 7 As shown, during operation, a plurality of duck eggs are loaded through the input end of the conveyor belt 10, and then transferred to the liquid tank 21 driven by the conveyor belt 10. When the plurality of duck eggs arrive at the output end of the conveyor belt 10, they are diverted into the first guide member 31 and the second guide member 32 to be introduced into the liquid tank 21. The first guide member 31 is provided with a plurality of mutually parallel first arc-shaped slide rails 311, and the second guide member 32 is provided with a plurality of mutually parallel second arc-shaped slide rails 321, which function similarly to an arc-shaped runway, forming a length difference on the path. At the same time, the inlet ends of the first arc-shaped slide rail 311 and the second arc-shaped slide rail 321 are arranged parallel to each other, and the outlet ends of the first arc-shaped slide rail 311 and the second arc-shaped slide rail 321 are arranged offset from each other, so the time and landing point of the plurality of duck eggs when sliding out from the first arc-shaped slide rail 311 and the second arc-shaped slide rail 321 are different. Moreover, the slurry in the liquid tank 21 circulates in a preset direction under the stirring of the stirring blade 22 (for example Figure 7 When the duck egg falls into the liquid tank 21, it will flow away with the flowing slurry, thereby achieving the effect of dislocation of the landing point and flow displacement after falling into the liquid tank 21.

[0055] The above-mentioned duck egg sizing machine 100 utilizes a guide component 30 for guiding the duck eggs to fall into the liquid tank 21 in an offset manner, and cooperates with a sizing component 20 that can drive the circulation of the slurry, so that the duck eggs can fall into the liquid tank 21 in an offset manner and quickly leave the landing point, thereby solving the problem of duck eggs being retained and collided in the process of moving from the conveyor belt 10 to the liquid tank 21, and improving the product yield.

[0056] It should be additionally explained that the use of the duck egg starching machine 100 of the present invention is not limited to the starching of duck eggs, but can also be applied to the starching of chicken eggs or other types of eggs.

[0057] The technical features of the above embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0058] The above embodiments only express the preferred implementation of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
