[0023] Figure 2 This is a three-dimensional diagram of the egg conveyor belt;

[0024] Figure 3 This is a top view of the water tray;

[0025] Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of a chain lubrication mechanism;

[0026] Figure 5 It is a cross-sectional view of another embodiment of the chain lubrication mechanism. Specific implementation method:

[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0029] The primary egg cleaning water spraying device includes an egg conveyor belt 1 and a cleaning mechanism 2 arranged above the egg conveyor belt. The egg conveyor belt is a chain conveyor belt. A water tray 3 is provided at the position closest to the inlet end of the egg conveyor belt in the cleaning mechanism 2. The water tray 3 can be a thin rectangular stainless steel shell. The bottom of the water tray 3 is densely covered with water seepage holes 4 for dripping water. All the water seepage holes 4 can be arranged in a matrix, and the water seepage holes 4 are facing the eggs 5 on the egg conveyor belt.

[0030] Several parallel water spray pipes 6 are provided along the conveying direction of the egg conveyor belt. Water spray holes are arranged on the water spray pipes 6. The water spray pipes are parallel to the axis of the roller on the egg conveyor belt. One or two brush rods 7 are provided between two adjacent water spray pipes and between the water spray pipes and the water tray.

[0031] In order to achieve a good effect of wetting the eggs by dripping water, the egg conveyor belt 1 is provided with a plurality of rollers 8 arranged at intervals, and a plurality of rollers 9 are connected in series at intervals on each roller 8. The rollers 9 can be made of nylon material. The rollers include a central cylindrical section 10 and limiting sections 11 located on both sides of the central cylindrical section (in a conical shape, with a smaller end close to the central cylindrical section and a larger end away from the central cylindrical section). The eggs are limited between the central cylindrical section 10 and the limiting sections 11 on two adjacent rollers.

[0032] The center line of the middle cylindrical section at the same axial position of each roller falls within the first vertical plane K, and the line connecting the seepage holes in the same row of the matrix-arranged seepage holes falls within the same first vertical plane. Since dripping from the seepage holes is achieved by gravity, the first vertical plane is the plumb plane passing through the line connecting the seepage holes in the same row. The center line of the middle cylindrical section at the same axial position of each roller falls within the plumb plane. As shown in the figure, there are 5 rows of seepage holes, that is, there are 6 groups of plumb planes.

[0033] In order to allow water to enter the water tray, a first water inlet pipe 12 parallel to the axis of the roller on the egg conveyor belt is provided above the water tray. The first water inlet pipe 12 is provided with a water outlet hole for injecting water into the water tray. The first water inlet pipe 12 and the water spray pipe 6 are both connected to a water source (such as tap water, etc.) through an external pipeline.

[0034] In order to better moisten the eggs, the distance between the water tray and the eggs on the egg conveyor belt is 2-10 cm, and the diameter of the water seepage holes is 0.05-0.5 mm.

[0035] A gear 13 is fixed on each roller 8 (it can be located between two adjacent rollers on the same roller), and a rack 14 is provided on a frame fixed to the ground. The gear 13 is meshed with the rack 14. When each roller 8 moves along the chain, the roller is meshed with the gear 13 and the rack 14, so that each roller 8 rotates, so that the roller can drive the eggs to rotate, which is beneficial for the circumference of the eggs to be fully scrubbed and rinsed.

[0036] The working principle of the egg primary cleaning water spray device is as follows: the eggs are placed on the egg conveyor belt. As the conveyor belt conveys the eggs, the water in the water tray drips onto the eggs through the seepage holes, thereby achieving initial infiltration of the eggs. The eggs are then brushed by multiple brush rods located between the water spray pipe and the water tray to initially remove dirt from the surface of the eggs. The eggs are then sprayed by several water spray pipes and brushed by the brush rods located between two adjacent water spray pipes to achieve complete cleaning.

[0037] Advantages of the egg primary cleaning water spray device: Since water drips at the inlet end of the conveyor belt, the dripping position is facing the eggs, which can reduce water consumption and avoid excessive water being sprayed to other areas not facing the eggs, causing waste of water resources.

[0038] The two ends of the roller on the egg conveyor belt 1 are connected to the chains A1 on both sides, and a chain lubricating mechanism A is fixed above the chain A1. The chain lubricating mechanism A includes a support frame A2 and an oil storage bottle A3 loaded with lubricating oil fixed on the support frame A2. The oil storage bottle A3 can be a cone with a larger upper part and a smaller lower part. An oil seepage channel A4 is provided at the lower part of the oil storage bottle A3, and a brush A5 is provided at the lower end of the oil seepage channel A4. The brush is located vertically just above the chain A1. The upper end of the brush A5 contacts a cotton strip A6, and the upper part of the cotton strip A6 extends into the oil storage bottle A3. The cotton strip A6 can be made of cotton used for alcohol lamp wicks. The diameter of the cotton strip A6 is equivalent to the diameter of the oil seepage channel A4 or the diameter of the cotton strip A6 is smaller than the diameter of the oil seepage channel A4 (such as Figure 4 As shown in FIG5 ), the sliver A6 expands after absorbing the oil and can buffer the output of the oil.

[0039] In order to facilitate observation of the oil in the oil storage bottle, the oil storage bottle is a transparent plastic cup, and the upper cover of the transparent plastic cup is provided with a cup cover A7, which is connected to the upper part of the oil storage bottle by a thread or by a tight fit.

[0040] When in use, fill the oil storage bottle A3 with oil and cover the cup lid A7 tightly. The oil, under the action of gravity, comes into contact with the brush A5 through the oil seepage channel A4, and drips along the brush A5 onto the chain A1 to lubricate the chain A1. The cotton strip A6 can slow down the dripping speed of the oil.

[0041] Among them, the lower part of the above-mentioned oil storage bottle A3 has a stepped boss A8, and a threaded hole A9 is provided in the stepped boss A8. The threaded hole is internally threaded with a conduit A10 with an external thread. The conduit A10 has the oil seepage channel A4 that penetrates the interior of the oil storage bottle. The lower part of the conduit A10 is installed with the brush A5 extending into its body. The lower part of the conduit A10 is flattened to fix the brush A5. The conduit A10 can be made of stainless steel. Fixing the brush A5 by flattening is beneficial to controlling the speed of oil falling and facilitating the fixation of the brush A5. Figure 4 In the embodiment shown, the upper end of the conduit A10 of this embodiment is flush with the bottom of the oil storage bottle A3.

[0042] In order to achieve the installation and fixation of the oil storage bottle A3, the support frame A2 is a bent plate with a strip-shaped through hole A11 on the upper part of the support frame. The conduit extends into the strip-shaped through hole, and a nut A12 is screwed on the conduit to fix the oil storage bottle on the support frame.

[0043] Another embodiment of the chain lubrication mechanism (such as Figure 5 As shown), this embodiment is Figure 4 The difference of the embodiment shown is that the upper end of the conduit A10 extends to the upper end near the oil storage bottle A3, the first end of the sliver A6 extends into the conduit A10 and contacts the brush A5, the second end of the sliver A6 extends into the oil in the oil storage bottle A3, and the oil does not cover the upper end of the conduit A10 when poured into the oil storage bottle A3. The sliver A6 absorbs the oil in the oil storage bottle A3 through the second end to cause expansion, and then gradually transfers the oil to the first end of the sliver A6, and gradually transfers the oil to the brush A5. Figure 5 The embodiment of Figure 4 In the embodiment, the oil is transferred to the brush A5 slowly, which is beneficial to saving oil, but can also meet the needs of chain lubrication.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model and not to limit it; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the specific implementation methods of the utility model can still be modified or some technical features can be replaced by equivalents; without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of the utility model, they should all be included in the scope of the technical solution for which protection is requested in the utility model.
