[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of egg yolk and egg white separation and recovery, in particular to an egg white recovery device and a conveyor. Background Art

[0002] In the production of salted egg yolks, collecting the yolks after cracking the eggs is a crucial step. Traditionally, cracked eggs are transported via a conveyor, with workers manually picking out the yolks on both sides before carrying them to the next step. However, during this process, egg white and eggshell residue remain on the conveyor. To prevent the egg white and eggshell mixture from flowing onto the ground and impacting hygiene, traditional designs incorporate a slender receiving trough beneath the conveyor to collect this mixture. However, while this traditional design solves the problem of the egg white and eggshell mixture flowing onto the ground to a certain extent, it still has significant drawbacks. Because the receiving trough is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the conveying component, the egg white and eggshell mixture is difficult to separate, resulting in the valuable egg white often being discarded, a waste of resources.

[0024] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0025] The following is a further description of the specific embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings:

They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the position or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the preferred structure of the egg white recovery device and conveyor provided by the utility model.

[0028] like Figures 1 and 2 As shown, an egg white recovery device 10 provided by the utility model includes an egg white recovery device 10 and an egg white recovery trough 13. The receiving component includes a receiving hopper 11 and a filter screen 12. The filter screen 12 is installed at the bottom of the receiving hopper 11; the egg white recovery trough 13 is connected to the bottom of the receiving hopper 11.

[0029] More specifically, the receiving component is a part of the device that is used to receive the mixture falling from the conveyor 20, and mainly includes a receiving hopper 11 and a filter screen 12. The receiving hopper 11 is a bucket-shaped container designed to receive the egg white and egg shell mixture falling from above. It is usually located below the conveyor 20 to facilitate the collection of the mixture. The filter screen 12 is a layer of mesh structure at the bottom of the receiving hopper 11, and the pore size is designed to allow egg white to pass through while intercepting larger egg shell fragments. The filter screen 12 is a key component for achieving the separation of egg white and egg shell. The egg white recovery tank 13 is designed to accommodate the filtered egg white and facilitate subsequent recycling and utilization. The overall device is simple in design and easy to operate and maintain. Through physical separation, the mixing of egg white and egg shell is avoided, and the hygiene and safety standards of food processing are improved. The egg white recovered by the egg white recovery device 10 can be used for other food processing, increasing economic benefits.

[0030] It should be noted that the number of receiving components can be determined according to the size of the conveyor.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the receiving hopper 11 includes two inclined walls 111 and two inclined side walls 112 that are arranged opposite to each other. The two inclined walls 111 and the two inclined side walls 112 together form the receiving hopper 11 .

[0032] More specifically, the inclined walls 111 are two opposing sides of the hopper 11 that are inclined, rather than vertical. These walls help the mixture flow smoothly into the center of the hopper 11, reducing adhesion to the walls. The inclined side walls 112 are also inclined, matching the inclined walls 111 to form a sloped structure. The design of the inclined side walls 112 helps the mixture flow down the slope, further reducing adhesion.

[0033] In one embodiment, the hopper 11 is positioned below the conveyor 20 for cracking and removing the yolk. As cracked eggs pass through the conveyor 20, the yolk is removed and collected, while the mixture of egg white and eggshell falls into the hopper 11. The sloping walls 111 and sidewalls 112 of the hopper 11 allow the mixture to flow more smoothly into the filter 12 at the bottom of the hopper 11, rather than accumulating on the walls.

[0034] The design of the sloping wall 111 and sidewalls 112 reduces the adhesion and accumulation of the mixture within the hopper 11, allowing the mixture to pass through the filter 12 more quickly, improving separation efficiency. Because the mixture is less likely to adhere to the hopper walls, cleaning and maintenance of the hopper 11 are much easier, reducing the workload of manual cleaning. This design of the hopper 11 not only improves the separation efficiency of the egg white and eggshell mixture, but also simplifies cleaning and maintenance, optimizes space utilization, and improves overall production hygiene standards.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, a discharge port is provided at the bottom of the receiving hopper 11, and the filter screen 12 is installed on the discharge port.

[0036] The discharge port is an opening at the bottom of the hopper 11, designed to allow the filtered egg white to flow out. The filter 12 is a mesh structure mounted on the discharge port, used to separate the egg white from the eggshell. The pore size is designed to allow the egg white to pass through while intercepting eggshell fragments. This design not only improves egg white recovery efficiency but also simplifies equipment cleaning and maintenance, while ensuring hygienic processing and product quality.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the egg white recovery device 10 includes a support frame 14, and the hopper 11 is mounted on the support frame 14. The support frame 14 includes a plurality of vertical rods 141, the tops of the plurality of vertical rods 141 are connected to the hopper 11, and the bottoms of the plurality of vertical rods 141 are all provided with universal wheels 142.

[0038] The support frame 14 is an integral part of the egg white recovery device 10, and is used to support the receiving hopper 11 and ensure that it is stably fixed in the appropriate position. The vertical pole 141 is a part of the support frame 14, which is usually a rod-shaped structure made of metal or plastic, used to separate the receiving hopper 11 from the ground and provide necessary support. The wheels installed at the bottom of the vertical pole 141 can rotate freely in multiple directions, so that the entire support frame 14 and the receiving hopper 11 thereon can be easily moved. In a specific implementation, the egg white recovery device 10 is placed under the conveyor 20 for cracking the egg shells and taking the egg yolks. The multiple vertical poles 141 on the support frame 14 ensure that the receiving hopper 11 is stably fixed at an appropriate height, and the universal wheels 142 at the bottom of the vertical pole 141 allow workers to easily move the entire device as needed to adapt to changes in the production line or for cleaning and maintenance.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, a conveyor 20 provided by the present invention has a conveying component 21 on the surface of which eggs can be placed and conveyed. The conveying component 21 includes a plurality of rollers 211 that are equidistantly arranged in parallel.

[0040] Conveyor 20 is a device used to move items from one location to another, typically used to automatically transport products on a production line. Conveyor assembly 21 is the component of conveyor 20 that directly contacts and transports items. In this embodiment, conveyor assembly 21 is composed of multiple rollers 211 arranged side by side.

[0041] In one embodiment, the rollers 211 in the conveying member 21 are cylindrical components with items placed on their surfaces. The rollers 211 on the conveying member 21 in this embodiment are different from conventional rotating rollers. The rollers 211 here are fixed and do not rotate. They are fixed side by side on the conveyor 20 frame to form a conveyor belt. The entire row of rollers 211 is fixed by chains arranged on both sides of the rollers 211. The movement of the drive chains drives the entire row of rollers 211 to move together. Gaps are provided between the individual rollers 211. This design allows smaller egg white and eggshell mixtures to pass through, while larger solidified egg yolks, due to their larger size, remain on the rollers 211.

[0042] The design of the gap between the drum 211 allows for a preliminary separation of the yolk and the egg white without manual intervention. The drum 211 is designed for easy cleaning, helping to maintain the hygienic standards of the production line.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the conveyor 20 also includes an egg yolk recovery trough 22 and a plurality of support structures 23, wherein the plurality of support structures 23 are spaced apart above the conveyor 20, and the egg yolk recovery trough 22 is placed on the plurality of support structures 23. The egg yolk recovery trough 22 is designed to receive egg yolks separated from poultry eggs. The plurality of support structures 23 are used to support the egg yolk recovery trough 22 so that it is located in an appropriate position above the conveying component 21 so that the egg yolk can be placed directly into the trough. Since the egg yolk recovery trough 22 is located directly above the conveying component 21, workers can quickly and directly place the egg yolk into the collection trough without the need for additional transfer or adjustment movements, thereby improving work efficiency. Workers do not need to bend over or reach over the conveying component 21, which reduces the burden on their bodies and reduces the physical fatigue and potential risk of injury caused by bending over for a long time and repetitive movements.

[0044] In one embodiment, there are three support structures 23, and the yolk recovery trough 22 is placed on the three support structures 23. More specifically, three support structures 23 are provided, evenly distributed above the conveyor 20, to support the yolk recovery trough 22. The yolk recovery trough 22 is designed to be long enough to span and be placed on these three support structures 23, ensuring that the yolk falls into the trough regardless of its position on the conveyor 21.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, each support structure 23 is provided with two limiting members 231 , the two limiting members 231 are spaced apart on the support structure 23 , and the yolk recovery trough 22 is placed at the spaced position between the two limiting members 231 .

[0046] More specifically, the limiter 231 is a mechanical element that fixes or positions the yolk recovery trough 22 to prevent the yolk recovery trough 22 from moving or offsetting. The limiters 231 are arranged at certain intervals on the support structure 23, and the structure of each support structure 23 is consistent, so that multiple support mechanisms are evenly distributed on the conveyor 20 to form a frame for fixing the yolk recovery trough 22. The yolk recovery trough 22 is placed between the two limiters 231 and supported by the limiters 231 to ensure that its position is fixed and stable. By ensuring the stable position of the yolk recovery trough 22, the omission of yolks due to position deviation is reduced and production efficiency is improved. At the same time, it can prevent employees from accidentally touching the yolk recovery trough 22, causing tilting and leakage, and losing yolks.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, the top of the receiving hopper 11 is connected to the mounting base. Ensure that the receiving hopper 11 is in the correct position on the production line so that the mixture can accurately fall into the hopper.

[0048] The utility model provides an egg white recovery device and a conveyor. The conveyor includes an egg white recovery device. The egg white recovery device includes a receiving component and an egg white recovery trough. The receiving component includes a hopper and a filter screen, and the filter screen is mounted at the bottom of the hopper. The egg white recovery trough is connected to the bottom of the hopper. The top of the hopper is connected to the conveyor.

[0049] Cracked eggs travel along a conveyor equipped with conveying components for positioning and transporting the eggs. These components typically consist of multiple equally spaced rollers or a chain-driven system composed of fixed rollers. During conveying, the solidified yolk prevents the egg from passing through the gaps between the rollers, while the egg white and egg shell fall through. The resulting egg white and egg shell mixture first enters a hopper, which is connected to the conveyor at the top, ensuring that the mixture falls directly into the hopper. A filter is installed at the bottom of the hopper. The filter's aperture is designed to allow the egg white to pass through while intercepting the egg shell. The egg white that passes through the filter flows into an egg white recovery trough below for collection and recovery. The filter and egg white recovery trough design allows egg white that would otherwise be discarded to be recovered, reducing resource waste and increasing egg utilization. The recovered egg white can be used in food processing or other applications, generating additional economic benefits for the manufacturer.

[0050] For other structures of the egg white recovery device and conveyor described in this embodiment, refer to the prior art.

[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any form. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
