[0020] The present utility model will be further described below with reference to the drawings.

[0021] All directions mentioned in this specification are based on the orientation of a kind of egg cleaning device of the present utility model when it is working properly, without restricting its orientation during storage and transportation, only representing the relative positional relationship and not the absolute positional relationship.

[0022] As Figures 1 to 4 As shown together, a kind of egg cleaning device is installed above the egg conveyor belt 1 in the poultry house, including a main pipe 2 arranged vertically. The main pipe 2 is connected to a blower for providing flowing air to the device. A number of branch pipes 3 communicating with the main pipe 2 are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction on the main pipe 2. Each branch pipe 3 is horizontally parallel. The number of branch pipes 3 can be adjusted according to the number of poultry houses and conveyor belts 1. The end of the branch pipe 3 is bent downward by 90 degrees and is provided with an air outlet 4. The air outlet direction of the air outlet 4 is vertically downward. Below each air outlet 4, there is an egg conveyor belt 1. The air blown out from the air outlet 4 cleans the eggs on the conveyor belt 1, blowing off the dust on their surfaces and improving the appearance and quality of the eggs.

[0023] Furthermore, the branch pipes 3 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the main pipe 2. Each branch pipe 3 is provided with an independent air outlet 4 to cover a larger cleaning area.

[0024] After the conveyor belt 1 collects the eggs, it conveys them into the egg collecting device for collecting and summarizing the eggs. The device also includes a terminal pipe 5 arranged above the egg collecting device. The air inlet of the terminal pipe 5 is communicated with the main pipe 2. The main pipe 2 conveys flowing air to the terminal pipe 5. The end of the terminal pipe 5 is bent into a horizontal state and is provided with a number of air outlet holes 6 at intervals at the bottom. The air outlet holes 6 are aligned with the egg collecting device to perform secondary cleaning on the eggs in the egg collecting device.

[0025] Furthermore, on the pipe wall of the main pipe 2, at the junction with each branch pipe 3, there is a through hole 7. The size of the through hole 7 is adapted to the inner diameter of the branch pipe 3. A sleeve 8 is rotatably sleeved outside the through hole 7. At the corresponding position of the sleeve 8 with respect to the through hole 7, there is a wind guiding hole 9. The branch pipe 3 is fixedly connected outside the sleeve 8 and is communicated with the wind guiding hole 9. By rotating the sleeve 8 to align or stagger the wind guiding hole 9 on the sleeve 8 with the through hole 7 on the main pipe 2, the opening or closing of the branch pipe 3 is realized to adapt to different breeding states and save air volume.

[0026] Furthermore, a circular tray 10 is arranged below the sleeve 8. The circular tray 10 is fixed outside the main pipe 2. A groove 11 is arranged inside the tray 10. The groove 11 is located below the sleeve 8. The size of the groove 11 is adapted to the outer diameter of the sleeve 8. The bottom of the sleeve 8 can rotate in the groove 11. The tray 10 supports and fixes the sleeve 8, making it more labor-saving to rotate. The groove 11 limits and guides the sleeve 8.

[0027] Further, above the center line of the branch pipe 3 on the sleeve 8, there is a vertically upward arrow 12; on the main pipe 2, directly above the arrow 12, there is a vertical marking line 13, and the word "Open" is printed above the marking line 13; on the main pipe 2, at the side of the marking line 13, at a position offset by about 30 to 45 degrees from the marking line 13, there is also a vertical marking line 14, and the word "Close" is printed above the marking line 14, which is convenient for operators to identify and use; rotate the sleeve 8, when the arrow 12 on the sleeve 8 aligns with the marking line 13 on the main pipe 2, it means that the opening degree of the branch pipe 3 is 100%; when the arrow 12 on the sleeve 8 aligns with the marking line 14 on the main pipe 2, it means that the branch pipe 3 is closed.

[0028] During use, when the eggs are being conveyed on the conveyor belt 1, turn on the blower to provide high-speed flowing air to the main pipe 2. The air is blown out successively through the main pipe 2, the branch pipe 3, and the air outlet 4 to blow and clean the dust on the surface of the eggs on the conveyor belt 1. The eggs continue to be conveyed and reach the egg collection device. The terminal pipe 5 above the egg collection device further blows and cleans the eggs in the egg collection device to obtain eggs of higher quality; since each air outlet 4 below the branch pipe 3 corresponds to a conveyor belt 1 and each branch pipe 3 works independently, when the poultry in the poultry house corresponding to a certain conveyor belt 1 is in the incubation period and stops laying eggs, or when the poultry in the poultry house corresponding to a certain conveyor belt 1 is in the young poultry period and cannot lay eggs, the sleeve 8 can be rotated to close the corresponding branch pipe 3 to save air volume; at the same time, the arrow 12 on the sleeve 8 can also be rotated to a position between the marking line 13 and the marking line 14, so that the air guiding holes 9 and the through holes 7 are partially offset to adjust the air volume blown out from the air outlet 4 to adapt to the sizes of different eggs and prevent the smaller eggs from being blown away by the higher wind speed.

[0029] Certainly, the above description is not a limitation of the present utility model, and the present utility model is not limited to the above examples. Changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the substantial scope of the present utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
