Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of egg processing equipment, in particular to a poultry egg cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] Eggs have high nutritional value and are the main food in people's daily life. The quality of eggs directly determines the quality of eggs and even affects the health of consumers.

[0003] In chicken farms, a large number of eggs are produced every day, and the surfaces of the eggs are relatively dirty and need to be cleaned.

[0004] However, most of the existing devices for cleaning the surfaces of eggs directly put a certain number of eggs into a cleaning basin at the same time for cleaning. The cleaning quality of the egg surfaces is poor, and the eggs are prone to collide with each other and cause breakage.

[0005] Currently, in order to improve the cleaning efficiency, a conveying device is usually set, and a spray pipe is set on the conveying device. The conveying device drives the eggs to move. When passing through the spray pipe, the spray pipe sprays clean water to achieve the cleaning of the eggs.

[0006] However, the above existing technologies have the following defects: 1. It is difficult to clean the eggs cleanly only by spraying; 2. The eggs are prone to roll on the conveying device, and under the action of the spray pipe, the eggs are prone to roll out of the conveying device. Summary of the Utility Model

[0007] Therefore, in order to solve the above deficiencies, the utility model provides a poultry egg cleaning device here, which includes a conveying device and a cleaning component, and the cleaning component is arranged on the conveying device;

[0011] Conveying rollers, there are multiple groups of the conveying rollers, and the multiple groups of conveying rollers are equidistantly arranged along the chain of the sprocket mechanism and are connected to the chain. An arc-shaped groove is arranged on the circumferential surface of the conveying roller at equidistant intervals along the axial direction, and the arc-shaped groove surrounds the circumferential surface of the conveying roller. The corresponding arc-shaped grooves of the adjacent conveying rollers cooperate with each other to form an egg receiving groove, and the egg receiving groove partially accommodates the lying poultry eggs;

[0012] The cleaning component includes:

[0013] A sprinkler, which is connected to a water source, and the sprinkler is provided with an array, which is equidistantly arranged above the conveying device;

[0014] The sixth power device;

[0015] A rotary brush, the rotary brush is provided with an array, and at least one group of rotary brushes is arranged between adjacent sprinklers, and the rotary brush is driven by the sixth power device to rotate along its own circumference.

[0016] In the utility model, arc-shaped grooves are arranged on the circumferential surface of the conveying roller at equal intervals along the axial direction and surround the circumferential surface of the conveying roller, so that the corresponding arc-shaped grooves of adjacent conveying rollers cooperate with each other to form an egg receiving groove, so that the poultry eggs can be partially received by the egg receiving groove, forming a limit on the poultry eggs, avoiding the rolling of the poultry eggs during the cleaning process. During cleaning, clean water is sprayed on the poultry eggs through the sprinkler, and at the same time, the sixth power device drives the rotary brush to rotate to brush the poultry eggs, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the poultry eggs.

[0017] Furthermore, the conveying device further includes a water collecting tank, which is arranged below the upper conveying roller, and a water outlet pipe is arranged on one side of the water collecting tank.

[0021] Rack bars, the rack bars are arranged corresponding to the gears and remain meshed with the gears, and the rack bars are arranged parallel to the chain of the sprocket mechanism.

[0022] During the process of the conveying roller moving with the chain, the gear moves along the rack bar relative to the rack bar, and the rack bar will drive the gear to rotate, thereby driving the conveying roller to move along its own circumference. Under the action of friction, the rotating conveying roller will drive the poultry eggs to roll in the egg receiving groove, so that the cleaning assembly can clean the poultry eggs 360°, improving the cleaning effect.

[0023] Furthermore, the cleaning equipment further includes an egg loading assembly, and the egg loading assembly includes:

[0024] The first power device;

[0025] The second power device;

[0026] A vacuum suction cup group, the vacuum suction cup group is driven by the first power device to perform horizontal linear motion, and is driven by the second power device to perform vertical linear motion, and the vacuum suction cup group is formed by arranging a plurality of vacuum suction cups at equal intervals horizontally and vertically.

[0027] The poultry eggs on the egg tray are adsorbed by the vacuum suction cups, and the first power device and the second power device drive the overall movement of the vacuum suction cup group to place multiple poultry eggs into the corresponding egg receiving grooves, realizing the automatic feeding of poultry eggs.

[0028] Further, the egg loading assembly further includes a third power device for adjusting the row spacing of the vacuum suction cups.

[0029] Further, the egg loading assembly further includes a fourth power device for adjusting the longitudinal spacing of the vacuum suction cups.

[0031] Further, the egg loading assembly further includes:

[0032] A mounting part;

[0033] A connecting part, which is connected to the second power device, and the connecting part is connected to the mounting part through a buffer part.

[0034] When adsorbing or placing poultry eggs, the vacuum suction cups can rise a certain height and compress the buffer part, thereby absorbing the instantaneous kinetic energy, playing a role in protecting the poultry eggs and avoiding the breakage of the poultry eggs.

During cleaning, clean water is sprayed on the poultry eggs through a sprayer, and at the same time, a sixth power device drives a rotary brush to rotate to brush the poultry eggs, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the poultry eggs.

[0037] The wastewater for cleaning poultry eggs is collected through a water collecting tank to prevent the wastewater from flowing to the ground and causing the ground to be slippery.

[0038] During the movement of the conveying roller along with the chain, the gear moves along the rack relative to the rack, and the rack will drive the gear to rotate, thereby driving the conveying roller to move along its own circumference.

The arc-shaped grooves are arranged around the circumferential surface of the conveying roller. The corresponding arc-shaped grooves of adjacent conveying rollers cooperate with each other to form an egg-containing groove, and the egg-containing groove partially accommodates the lying poultry eggs.

[0063] The cleaning assembly includes:

[0067] As Figure 4 shown, in the present utility model, by providing arc-shaped grooves 221 at equal intervals along the axial direction and arranged around the circumferential surface of the conveying roller on the circumferential surface of the conveying roller, the corresponding arc-shaped grooves of adjacent conveying rollers cooperate with each other to form an egg-containing groove, so that the poultry eggs can be partially accommodated by the egg-containing groove, forming a limit for the poultry eggs and preventing the poultry eggs from rolling during the cleaning process. During cleaning, clean water is sprayed on the poultry eggs through the sprayer, and at the same time, the sixth power device drives the rotary brush to rotate to brush the poultry eggs, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the poultry eggs.
