Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to egg cleaning equipment. Background Art

[0002] Eggs are a common food in people's daily lives. During egg production and processing, they are generally cleaned to a certain extent. Traditional cleaning is manual, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also inefficient.

[0003] Currently, some machines are used to clean eggs. For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN204762803U discloses an egg spray cleaning mechanism, which includes a frame, an electrical control box, a cleaning bracket, and a roller transmission box. The electrical control box is mounted on the frame, and the cleaning bracket is mounted inside the frame. The cleaning bracket is a conveyor belt structure with a spray pipe arranged parallel to the top and brush rollers arranged on both sides. The brush rollers rotate in opposite directions under the drive of the roller transmission box. The lower side of the spray pipe is provided with a plurality of nozzles. A wastewater tank is provided below the cleaning bracket, and a drain pipe is provided at the bottom of the wastewater tank. When in use, high-pressure water is sprayed from the nozzle of the spray pipe and dispersedly sprayed on the surface of the eggs. At the same time, the brush rollers on both sides of the cleaning bracket rotate rapidly, and the soft brushes on the rollers continuously brush off dirt such as chicken feces on the surface of the eggs, so that the surface of the eggs is cleaned. However, although the above patent collects wastewater from washing eggs through a wastewater tank, the wastewater is directly discharged into the sewer system through a drain pipe and is not recycled. Since a large amount of water is used in the egg washing process, directly discharging the washing wastewater can easily lead to a waste of water resources.

[0004] To this end, it is necessary to improve the above technical problems, and this case came into being. Utility Model Content

[0016] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the connection between adjacent spray circulation tanks in the second embodiment of the present utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0018] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "transverse", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0019] Example 1: Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides an egg washing device, comprising an egg conveying mechanism 1 for conveying eggs 16 from right to left. At least two spray units 2 are sequentially arranged from right to left along the egg conveying direction directly above the egg conveying mechanism. The at least two spray units form at least two spray sections, and the spray units are configured to spray spray liquid downwardly to spray and wash the eggs on the egg conveying mechanism. At least two spray circulation troughs 3 are sequentially arranged from right to left along the egg conveying direction directly below the egg conveying mechanism 1. The number of the spray circulation troughs 3 corresponds to the number of the spray units 2 and the troughs are configured to collect spray liquid. The positions of the at least two spray circulation troughs 3 correspond to the positions of the at least two spray units 2. Each spray circulation trough 3 is configured to collect spray liquid output downwardly from the spray unit 2 located opposite to it. A circulation assembly is connected between the corresponding spray circulation troughs at the upper and lower positions and the spray units. The spray liquid (water) in each spray circulation trough is respectively transported to the spray unit located opposite to it via the circulation assembly, thereby achieving recycling of the spray liquid. Segmented spraying is adopted, and a spray circulation tank is set under each spray unit. The spray liquid collected in the spray circulation tank is returned to the spray unit through the circulation component, realizing self-circulation of each spray section, reducing water consumption and effectively reducing water resource waste.

[0020] In this embodiment, there are two spray units 1, and the two spray units 2 are respectively a primary spray unit 21 and a secondary spray unit 22 along the egg conveying direction. There are two spray circulation grooves 3, and the two spray circulation grooves 3 are respectively a primary spray circulation groove 31 and a secondary spray circulation groove 32 along the egg conveying direction. A first circulation component 41 is connected between the primary spray circulation groove 31 and the primary spray unit 21, and a second circulation component 42 is connected between the secondary spray circulation groove 32 and the secondary spray unit 22.

[0021] In this embodiment, the structures of the first circulation component 41 and the second circulation component 42 are the same. The first circulation component 41 includes a first water pump 5, the water inlet end of the first water pump 5 is connected to the first spray circulation tank 31, and the water outlet end of the first water pump 5 is connected to the water inlet end of the first spray unit 21 via the first circulation pipeline 6; the second circulation component 42 includes a second water pump 7, the water inlet end of the second water pump 7 is connected to the second spray circulation tank 32, and the water outlet end of the second water pump 7 is connected to the water inlet end of the second spray unit 22 via the second circulation pipeline 8.

[0022] In this embodiment, the primary spray unit and the secondary spray unit have the same structure, and both include multiple groups of spray heads arranged sequentially from right to left along the egg conveying direction.

[0023] In this embodiment, the bottoms of the primary and secondary spray circulation tanks 31 and 32 are connected to drain pipes 9, which are equipped with drain solenoid valves 10. During use, the primary and secondary spray circulation tanks are automatically drained at a certain frequency based on the actual cleanliness of the circulating water.

[0024] In this embodiment, the egg conveying mechanism 1 is an egg conveying roller group, which includes a plurality of conveying rollers 11 evenly spaced along the egg conveying direction.

[0025] In this embodiment, in order to improve the cleaning effect of eggs, a cleaning brush 12 is provided between each spray unit and the egg conveying roller group. There are multiple cleaning brushes and they are spaced apart along the egg conveying direction.

[0026] In this embodiment, a water supply pipe 13 is further included, and the water outlet end of the water supply pipe 13 is connected to the primary spray circulation tank 31 and the secondary spray circulation tank 32 to replenish clean water into the two spray circulation tanks.

[0027] It should be noted that the number of spray units and spray circulation grooves can be three, four, five, etc. Each spray unit and the relatively positioned spray circulation groove form a spray section, that is, a multi-stage spray can be formed, the specific number can be set according to needs, and each spray section forms a self-circulation.

[0028] Example 2: Figure 2As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that an overflow pipe 14 is connected between two adjacent spray circulation grooves, and the overflow direction is opposite to the egg conveying direction. Specifically, an overflow pipe 14 is connected between the primary spray circulation groove 31 and the secondary spray circulation groove 32, and the overflow direction between the primary spray circulation groove 31 and the secondary spray circulation groove 32 is opposite to the egg conveying direction, that is, the water in the secondary spray circulation groove overflows into the primary spray circulation groove through the overflow pipe. From the perspective of egg conveying direction, the eggs first pass through the primary spray unit and then through the secondary spray unit. Since the eggs are first sprayed and cleaned by the primary spray unit, the eggs are no longer as dirty as in the initial state (not yet cleaned). Later, when they are sprayed and cleaned by the secondary spray unit, the spray liquid collected in the secondary spray circulation tank is cleaner than the spray liquid collected in the primary spray circulation tank. At this time, the spray liquid in the secondary spray circulation tank overflows into the primary spray circulation tank, and is then pumped to the primary spray unit for spray cleaning, further improving the recycling rate of water.

[0029] Example 3: This example differs from Examples 1 and 2 only in that a heating source 15 is provided within each spray circulation tank for heating. It should be noted that the heating source can be, for example, an electric heating rod or a heating plate. The heating source can be combined with a temperature controller or temperature sensor to control the temperature within the spray circulation tank and maintain the circulating water temperature.

[0030] If the present invention discloses or involves components or structural parts that are fixedly connected to each other, then, unless otherwise stated, the fixed connection can be understood as: a detachable fixed connection (for example, connection using bolts or screws), and can also be understood as: a non-detachable fixed connection (for example, riveting, welding). Of course, the mutual fixed connection can also be replaced by an integrated structure (for example, manufactured by integral molding using a casting process) (except where it is obviously impossible to use an integrated molding process).

[0031] In addition, unless otherwise stated, the terms used in any technical solution disclosed in the above-mentioned utility model to express positional relationships or shapes include states or shapes that are approximate, similar or close thereto.

[0032] Any component provided by the present invention may be assembled from a plurality of separate components, or may be a separate component manufactured by an integral forming process.

[0033] 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 is 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 protection of the utility model.
