Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of egg production, and particularly relates to an egg cleaning system. Background Art

[0002] Egg cleaning is to ensure the hygienic safety of eggs and improve packaging efficiency. Egg cleaning includes processes such as feeding, cleaning, air drying, optical inspection, and oil spraying. The feeding uses a lifting type soaking feeding tank, and the main function of this part is to initially clean the eggs and remove some dirt on the egg surface through soaking. The cleaning includes primary cleaning and secondary cleaning. The primary cleaning machine further cleans the eggs, usually including a water spraying device and a rotating brush, etc., to remove more stubborn dirt. The secondary cleaning machine usually includes more delicate cleaning steps, which may include high-pressure water flow and small rotating brushes to ensure thorough cleaning of the egg surface. The cleaned eggs need to be dried, and the air dryer can quickly remove moisture by blowing to prepare for the subsequent process. The function of the integrated optical inspection and oil spraying machine is to check whether there are cracks or other defects on the egg surface.

[0003] After the optical inspection and oil spraying of the eggs are completed, they are directly conveyed to the receiving trough on the receiving platform, and the eggs are manually picked up and placed in trays or egg trays. The steps of the receiving trough and manually picking up the eggs are to send the cleaned and processed eggs to the next link, namely the packaging link. However, manually picking up eggs requires heavy physical labor and has relatively low efficiency. Manual operation may lead to efficiency fluctuations due to reasons such as operator fatigue and inconsistent speeds. The eggs may be damaged due to improper operation during the manual picking process, and there are also certain safety risks.

[0004] To solve the above problems, more advanced automation technologies can be considered. Therefore, an egg cleaning system is proposed that can automatically receive eggs on the egg cleaning line, improve efficiency, reduce the labor intensity of manual work, and improve the accuracy of egg processing to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The present invention aims to solve the technical problems in the above-mentioned prior art that after the optical inspection and oil spraying of the eggs are completed, they are directly conveyed to the receiving trough on the receiving platform, and the eggs are manually picked up and placed in trays or egg trays, resulting in high labor intensity and operational safety risks.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical solution: An egg cleaning system includes an egg cleaning line. A receiving trough is provided on the receiving platform at the end of the egg cleaning line, and an automatic receiving mechanism is arranged in the receiving trough.

[0007] The automatic material receiving mechanism includes an electric rotary table fixed in the material receiving tank, a support plate fixed on the rotary disc at the top of the electric rotary table, and automatic material receiving modules located at both ends of the support plate. The operation of the electric rotary table drives the automatic material receiving modules at both ends of the support plate to switch and adjust the working positions.

[0008] The automatic material receiving module includes a longitudinal screw linear module fixed on the support plate, a transverse screw linear module fixed on the moving slide A of the longitudinal screw linear module, and a positioning groove fixed on the moving slide B of the transverse screw linear module. A material tray is placed in the positioning groove.

[0009] The operation of the longitudinal screw linear module and the transverse screw linear module drives the movement of the material tray to receive the eggs that have been cleaned on the egg cleaning line.

[0010] Preferably, the operation of the electric rotary table drives the automatic material receiving module to switch back and forth between the handling station and the material receiving station. The operator removes the material tray filled with eggs on the automatic material receiving module at the handling station, and the automatic material receiving module receives the eggs that have been cleaned on the egg cleaning line at the material receiving station.

[0011] The operator only needs to remove the material tray filled with eggs at the handling station, reducing the physical labor and operation difficulty of the workers.

[0012] Preferably, a number of placement grooves for holding eggs are evenly distributed on the material tray. This can effectively stabilize the eggs and prevent damage caused by the eggs rolling or colliding with each other during handling.

[0013] Preferably, the bottom end of the placement groove is inserted into the positioning groove, and the material tray is limited above the positioning groove. A limiting frame for limiting the outer edge of the material tray is integrally formed on the outside of the positioning groove. The positioning groove and the limiting frame ensure the accuracy and stability of the material tray at the material receiving position.

[0014] Preferably, semi-circular opening grooves are provided at the centers of the four sides of the positioning groove and the limiting frame, making it easier to remove the material tray.

[0015] Preferably, the egg cleaning line includes a lifting immersion loading tank, a first-stage cleaning machine, a second-stage cleaning machine, a drying machine, an optical inspection and oil spraying integrated machine arranged in sequence from front to back.

[0016] Such a setting can provide a series of continuous processes for the eggs from loading to cleaning, drying, optical inspection and oil spraying, realizing the all-round cleaning and processing of the eggs.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects and advantages of the present utility model are:

[0018] The automatic material receiving mechanism in this egg cleaning system uses electromechanical motion to achieve automatic egg receiving and transfer. It includes an electric rotary table, a support plate, and two automatic material receiving modules. The electric rotary table is driven by a motor, driving the support plate and the material receiving modules to switch between the handling station and the material receiving station. The material receiving module consists of a longitudinal screw linear module and a transverse screw linear module, which work together to accurately move the egg placement slots on the tray from the cleaning line to the designated position for quickly receiving eggs on the cleaning line;

[0019] The use of the automatic material receiving mechanism significantly improves the efficiency and accuracy of egg transfer. It reduces the time and labor intensity of manual operations and decreases the breakage rate of eggs during handling. In addition, the flexible switching rhythm of the material receiving module can adapt to different production requirements and beats, ensuring the efficient operation of the production line. The design of the placement slots on the tray helps to stabilize the eggs, improve space utilization, and ensure precise control of the automated equipment. The design of the semi-circular opening slots further simplifies the operation process, prevents tray jamming, and ensures smooth tray entry and exit. The design of the entire egg cleaning line provides comprehensive egg handling, reduces manual intervention, improves cleaning quality, and ensures hygiene and safety.

[0028] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0029] The following is a further detailed description of this application Figure 1-7 to this application

[0030] The embodiment of this application discloses an egg cleaning system, including an egg cleaning line 1. A feeding trough 3 is opened on the feeding platform 2 at the end of the egg cleaning line 1, and an automatic feeding mechanism 4 is arranged in the feeding trough 3;

[0031] The automatic feeding mechanism 4 includes an electric rotary table 10 fixed in the feeding trough 3, a support plate 11 fixed on the rotary disk at the top of the electric rotary table 10, and automatic feeding modules 12 located at both ends of the support plate 11. The electric rotary table 10 drives the automatic feeding modules 12 at both ends of the support plate 11 to perform station switching and adjustment;

[0032] The automatic feeding module 12 includes a longitudinal screw linear module 13 fixed on the support plate 11, a transverse screw linear module 15 fixed on the moving slide A 14 of the longitudinal screw linear module 13, and a positioning groove 17 fixed on the moving slide B 16 of the transverse screw linear module 15. A tray 18 is placed in the positioning groove 17;

[0033] The longitudinal screw linear module 13 and the transverse screw linear module 15 drive the tray 18 to move to receive the eggs that have been cleaned on the egg cleaning line 1.

[0034] The principle of the automatic egg receiving mechanism 4 in this egg cleaning system is to use electric mechanical motion to achieve the automatic reception and transfer of eggs. The electric turntable 10 is the core power source of the automatic egg receiving mechanism 4. Driven by an electric motor, the turntable rotates around its axis. The support plate 11 is fixed on the turntable. The function of the support plate 11 is to support the automatic egg receiving module 12 and allow the module to rotate with the turntable on the turntable. The automatic egg receiving module 12 includes longitudinal and transverse lead screw linear modules. These modules move the egg tray 18 through a precise transmission system (such as lead screws and nuts). The egg tray 18 is placed in the positioning groove 17 and is used to receive the eggs that have been cleaned. The positioning groove 17 ensures that the egg tray 18 is fixed in a specific position so that the receiving module can accurately transfer the eggs from the cleaning line to the egg tray 18.

[0035] The action of the electric turntable 10 drives the automatic egg receiving module 12 to switch back and forth between the handling station and the receiving station. The operator removes the egg tray 18 filled with eggs on the automatic egg receiving module 12 at the handling station, and the automatic egg receiving module 12 receives the eggs that have been cleaned on the egg cleaning line 1 at the receiving station.

[0036] The back-and-forth switching of the automatic receiving module reduces the time of manual transfer and improves the overall work efficiency. The operator only needs to take out the egg tray 18 filled with eggs at the handling station, reducing the physical labor and operation difficulty of the workers. The automatic egg receiving module 12 accurately receives eggs at the receiving station, reducing the breakage rate of eggs during the transfer process. By adjusting the switching rhythm of the receiving module according to production requirements, it can adapt to different production beats and process requirements.

[0037] A number of placement grooves 19 for holding eggs are evenly distributed on the egg tray 18.

[0038] A number of placement grooves 19 for holding eggs are evenly distributed on the egg tray 18, which can effectively stabilize the eggs and prevent the eggs from rolling or colliding with each other during handling, resulting in damage. The evenly distributed placement grooves 19 enable the egg tray 18 to make more effective use of space and load more eggs without squeezing each other. The layout of the placement grooves 19 helps the precise control of automated equipment and ensures the orderly placement of eggs on the egg tray 18.

[0039] The bottom end of the placement groove 19 is inserted into the positioning groove 17, and the egg tray 18 is limited above the positioning groove 17. A limiting frame 20 for limiting the outer edge of the egg tray 18 is integrally formed on the outside of the positioning groove 17.

[0040] The positioning groove 17 and the limiting frame 20 ensure the accuracy and stability of the egg tray 18 at the receiving position, reduce the shaking and tilting of the eggs during handling, and reduce the risk of egg breakage. The limiting frame 20 provides precise positioning for the egg tray 18, improving the efficiency and safety of automated operation.

[0041] Semicircular opening grooves 21 are provided at the centers of the four sides of the positioning groove 17 and the limiting frame 20.

[0042] The semicircular opening grooves 21 enable the tray 18 to be removed more easily, reducing the time and effort of workers during operation. The design of the semicircular opening grooves 21 helps prevent the tray 18 from getting stuck in the positioning groove 17, ensuring that the tray 18 can enter and exit smoothly.

[0043] The egg cleaning line 1 includes a lifting immersion loading tank 5, a first-stage cleaning machine 6, a second-stage cleaning machine 7, a drying machine 8, and an optical inspection and oil spraying integrated machine 9 arranged in sequence from front to back.

[0044] Such a setting can provide a series of continuous processes for eggs from loading to cleaning, drying, optical inspection, and oil spraying, achieving all-round cleaning and processing of eggs. The design of the integrated production line reduces the time and loss of eggs during transfer, improving the overall production efficiency. Through the setting of multiple cleaning steps, the cleaning quality of eggs can be ensured to reach a higher standard, guaranteeing the hygiene and safety of eggs. The use of automated equipment reduces manual intervention, lowers the labor intensity, and reduces human errors to a certain extent.

[0045] In this egg cleaning system, after the cleaning line finishes cleaning the eggs, the eggs are sent to the receiving platform 2. The electric rotary table 10 rotates, driving the support plate 11 and the receiving module to move together. The longitudinal and transverse lead screw linear modules 15 coordinate their actions according to a preset program, accurately moving the eggs from the discharge point on the cleaning line to the designated position (in the placement groove 19) of the tray 18.

[0046] Automated egg receiving significantly improves the transfer speed of eggs, which is faster than manual operation, reducing production time. Through precise mechanical motion control, the damage to eggs during transfer can be reduced. Automated egg receiving reduces the dependence on manual labor, lowers the labor intensity, and reduces human errors to a certain extent. The action program of the receiving module can be adjusted according to production requirements to adapt to different production rhythms and process requirements.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
