Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of egg product processing, in particular to an egg liquid defoaming mechanism. Background Art
[0002] Egg products are obtained by mixing egg liquid with other raw materials and then processing them. When processing egg products, the egg liquid needs to be mixed and stirred first. After the egg liquid is stirred, a layer of foam will appear on it. If the foam is not removed, it will affect the taste of the egg tart.
[0003] In the prior art, when removing foam from egg liquid, a filter is generally required. When the egg liquid passes through the filter, the foam in the egg liquid will be retained in the filter, and the foam can be removed. However, there are some problems in its use. The foam retained on the filter is difficult to clean, which causes the foam to accumulate continuously and reduces the filtering efficiency of the filter. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings, the present invention provides an egg liquid defoaming mechanism, comprising:
[0005] The defoaming tank includes a tank body, in which at least one set of foam discharge grooves is provided. The foam discharge grooves are arranged around the tank body and fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tank. A foam discharge outlet communicating with the outside is provided at the bottom of the foam discharge grooves, and a liquid discharge pipe is provided at the bottom of the tank body;
[0006] lifting device;
[0007] The screen is arranged corresponding to the foam discharge groove. The screen is inclined downward in its radial direction from the middle to the outside, and the edge of the screen contacts the side wall of the foam discharge groove to form a sliding seal. The screen is driven to move along its axial direction by the lifting device.
[0008] The utility model lowers the screen to a preset height by a lifting device, so that a height difference is formed between the edge of the screen and the top of the side wall of the foam discharge groove, so as to block the egg liquid and prevent the egg liquid from flowing into the foam discharge groove. The egg liquid passes through the screen, and the foam in the egg liquid is retained on the surface of the screen. Under the action of gravity, the foam flows along the screen surface to the edge of the screen and finally gathers at the edge of the screen. As the foam continues to accumulate, when it exceeds the height of the foam discharge groove, the foam will flow into the foam discharge groove and be discharged from the foam discharge port. When the egg liquid is screened, the screen is lifted to a preset height by the lifting device, so that the edge of the screen is flush with the top of the side wall of the foam discharge groove. At this time, all the foam will flow along the screen surface to the foam discharge groove, so that the foam on the screen surface is cleaned and the accumulation of foam on the screen is prevented.
[0009] Furthermore, the defoaming mechanism further includes:
[0010] A liquid inlet pipe is provided above the screen and is connected to the equipment of the previous process through the liquid inlet pipe;
[0011] A liquid guiding hopper is arranged between adjacent screens.
[0012] The egg liquid is guided by the liquid inlet pipe and the liquid guide bucket to prevent the egg liquid from flowing into the foam discharge trough before reaching the screen, causing waste of egg liquid.
[0013] Furthermore, a second slider is provided at the edge of the screen, and a first slide groove is provided on the side of the foam discharge groove close to the screen corresponding to the second slider. The first slide groove extends along the movement direction of the screen, and the second slider is accommodated in the first slide groove.
[0014] Through the cooperation of the second sliding block and the first sliding groove, the linear movement of the screen can be guided, thereby improving the movement accuracy of the screen.
[0015] Furthermore, the defoaming mechanism also includes a pipe assembly, which includes an air blowing pipe, which is connected to an air source. The air blowing pipe is partially arranged in the tank body, and the air blowing pipe passes through the center of the screen and remains connected to the screen. An air outlet is provided in the side wall of the air blowing pipe corresponding to the top of the screen, and the air outlet is inclined toward the upper surface of the screen.
[0016] Air is blown onto the screen surface through the air blowing pipe. The air can blow the foam that is difficult to flow under its own gravity to the foam discharge groove, and can also accelerate the movement of the foam that can flow under its own gravity.
[0017] Furthermore, the pipeline assembly further includes a liquid spray pipeline, which is wrapped by the air blowing pipeline, and an air transmission channel for air flow is formed between the liquid spray pipeline and the air blowing pipeline;
[0018] Liquid outlet holes are provided on the air blowing pipe corresponding to the upper and lower parts of the screen, and the liquid outlet holes are inclined toward the upper and lower surfaces of the screen. A liquid spray head is provided outside the liquid spray pipe, and the liquid spray head is connected to the liquid outlet holes.
[0019] The screen can be cleaned by spraying cleaning liquid onto the screen surface through the liquid spray pipe.
[0020] Furthermore, the defoaming mechanism also includes a power device, which drives the pipeline assembly to rotate relative to the screen.
[0021] By driving the pipeline assembly to rotate through the power device, air and cleaning liquid can be sprayed onto the screen at 360 degrees, thereby improving the cleaning and washing effects.
[0022] Furthermore, the defoaming mechanism also includes a foam scraper, which is installed on the pipe assembly and rotates with the pipe assembly. Both ends of the foam scraper are provided with foam scraping parts, and the ends of the foam scraping parts are arranged in the foam discharge groove and contact the inner wall of the foam discharge groove.
[0023] The rotation of the foam scraper drives the foam in the foam discharge trough to move toward the foam discharge outlet, thereby improving the discharge capacity of the foam discharge trough.
[0024] Furthermore, a first sliding block is provided at the installation location of the scraper and the pipe assembly;
[0025] A second sliding groove is provided on the outside of the blowing pipe corresponding to the first sliding block. The second sliding groove extends along the linear movement direction of the pipe assembly, and the first sliding block is accommodated in the second sliding groove.
[0026] Through the cooperation of the first sliding block and the second sliding groove, the synchronous rotation of the foam scraper and the pipeline assembly is achieved without affecting the linear movement of the pipeline assembly.
[0027] Furthermore, the foam scraping portion is L-shaped, and a limiting plate in contact with the stepped surface of the foam scraping portion is provided on the top of the foam discharge groove.
[0028] The cooperation between the limiting plate and the foam scraping part can prevent the foam scraper from linearly moving along with the pipeline assembly.

[0054] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present application, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.
[0055] In this document, relational terms such as first and second, etc., are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "comprises," "includes," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
[0056] As described in the background technology, when eliminating foam on egg liquid, it is generally necessary to use a filter. When the egg liquid passes through the filter, the foam in the egg liquid will be retained in the filter, and then the foam can be eliminated. However, there are some problems when using it. The foam retained on the filter is difficult to clean, which causes the foam to accumulate continuously and reduces the filtering efficiency of the filter.
[0057] Example 1:
[0058] Therefore, in order to solve the above technical problems of the prior art, the present embodiment provides an egg liquid defoaming mechanism, such as Figure 1 、 3 As shown, the defoaming mechanism includes:
[0059] The defoaming tank 100 includes a tank body 110, such as Figure 4As shown, at least one set of foam discharge grooves 130 is provided in the tank body. The foam discharge grooves are arranged around the tank body and are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tank body. A foam discharge outlet 131 communicating with the outside is provided at the bottom of the foam discharge grooves. Figure 3 As shown, a drain pipe 140 is provided at the bottom of the tank;
[0060] Lifting device 200;
[0061] The screen 500 is arranged corresponding to the foam discharge groove. The screen is inclined downward in its radial direction from the middle to the outside, and the edge of the screen contacts the side wall of the foam discharge groove to form a sliding seal. The screen 500 is driven to move along its axial direction by the lifting device 200.
[0062] In this embodiment, the screen is lowered to a preset height by a lifting device, so that a height difference is formed between the edge of the screen and the top of the side wall of the foam discharge groove, so as to block the egg liquid and prevent the egg liquid from flowing into the foam discharge groove. The egg liquid passes through the screen, and the foam in the egg liquid is retained on the surface of the screen. Under the action of gravity, the foam flows along the surface of the screen to the edge of the screen and finally gathers at the edge of the screen. As the foam continues to accumulate, when it exceeds the height of the foam discharge groove, the foam will flow into the foam discharge groove and be discharged from the foam discharge outlet. When the egg liquid is screened, the screen is lifted to a preset height by the lifting device so that the edge of the screen is flush with the top of the side wall of the foam discharge groove. At this time, all the foam will flow along the surface of the screen to the foam discharge groove, thereby realizing the foam cleaning of the screen surface and preventing foam from accumulating on the screen.
[0063] This embodiment can achieve defoaming of the egg liquid while clearing the foam on the filter screen surface, thereby avoiding excessive accumulation of foam and affecting the filtering efficiency of the filter screen.
[0064] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, a support foot 120 can be fixed at the bottom of the tank body, through which the tank body is supported to provide a certain working height for the defoaming mechanism.
[0065] In this embodiment, the lifting device can be a device that can drive the linear motion of the screen, such as a cylinder, an electric cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a motor screw structure, etc.
[0066] In addition, Figure 3 As shown, the defoaming mechanism also includes:
[0067] A liquid inlet pipe 700 is provided above the screen 500 and is connected to the equipment of the previous process through the liquid inlet pipe 700;
[0068] The liquid guiding hopper 600 is arranged between adjacent screens.
[0069] The egg liquid is guided by the liquid inlet pipe and the liquid guide bucket so that the egg liquid flows directly onto the upper surface of the screen, avoiding the egg liquid flowing into the foam discharge trough before reaching the screen, causing egg liquid waste.
[0070] In this embodiment, if Figure 7 As shown, a second slider 510 can also be set at the edge of the screen, and a first slide groove 132 is set on the side of the foam discharge groove close to the screen corresponding to the second slider 510. The first slide groove extends along the movement direction of the screen, and the second slider is accommodated in the first slide groove.
[0071] Through the cooperation of the second sliding block and the first sliding groove, the linear movement of the screen can be guided, thereby improving the movement accuracy of the screen.
[0072] Example 2:
[0073] Although Example 1 can achieve the cleaning of foam, Example 1 still has the following defects: it is difficult for the foam to completely flow into the foam discharge trough only by gravity, and some foam still exists on the screen.
[0074] Therefore, in order to solve the above technical problems, Figure 1 As shown, the defoaming mechanism further includes a pipe assembly 300, such as Figure 5 As shown, the pipe assembly 300 includes an air blowing pipe 310, which is connected to an air source. The air blowing pipe is partially arranged in the tank body 110, and the air blowing pipe passes through the center of the screen 500 and remains connected to the screen. An air outlet 311 is provided on the side wall of the air blowing pipe corresponding to the top of the screen, and the air outlet 311 is inclined toward the upper surface of the screen.
[0075] Air is blown onto the screen surface through the air blowing pipe. The air can blow the foam that is difficult to flow under its own gravity to the foam discharge groove, and can also accelerate the movement of the foam that can flow under its own gravity.
[0076] In this embodiment, the pipeline assembly is driven to move linearly by the lifting device, thereby driving the screen to move linearly together.
[0077] In this embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, the pipeline assembly 300 further includes a liquid spraying pipeline 320, which is wrapped by the air blowing pipeline, and an air transmission channel for air flow is formed between the liquid spraying pipeline and the air blowing pipeline;
[0078] Liquid outlet holes 312 are provided on the air blowing pipe corresponding to the upper and lower sides of the screen, and the liquid outlet holes are inclined toward the upper and lower surfaces of the screen. A liquid spray head 321 is provided on the outside of the liquid spray pipe 320, and the liquid spray head is connected to the liquid outlet holes.
[0079] The screen can be cleaned by spraying cleaning liquid onto the screen surface through the liquid spray pipe.
[0080] It should be noted that the air outlet holes and liquid outlet holes above or below the screen mentioned in this embodiment are the air outlet holes and liquid outlet holes within a preset height range from the upper surface or lower surface of the screen.
[0081] This embodiment is connected to a water source through a liquid spray pipe. The cleaning liquid flows along the liquid spray pipe and is sprayed out through the liquid spray head 321. Under the guidance of the liquid outlet, it is sprayed obliquely toward the screen, thereby cleaning the screen.
[0082] This embodiment provides a plurality of liquid outlet holes with different inclination angles within a preset height from the screen surface, so that the cleaning liquid is sprayed to multiple positions on the screen surface, thereby achieving comprehensive cleaning of the screen surface.
[0083] In this embodiment, the inclination angle of the air outlet holes is preferably the same as the inclination angle of the screen, and the air outlet holes are arranged adjacent to the upper surface of the screen. In this case, the effect of pushing the foam is best.
[0084] In addition, Figure 2 As shown, the defoaming mechanism may further include a power device 400, which drives the pipeline assembly to rotate relative to the screen.
[0085] By driving the pipeline assembly to rotate through the power device, air and cleaning liquid can be sprayed onto the screen at 360 degrees, thereby improving the cleaning and washing effects.
[0086] In this embodiment, the power device can be installed on the lifting device, and the lifting device drives the pipeline assembly connected to the power device to rise and fall, so as to achieve the lifting and lowering of the screen. The power device can be a device such as a motor, a rotary cylinder, etc. that can drive the pipeline assembly to rotate.
[0087] Example 3:
[0088] In order to achieve timely discharge of foam and avoid excessive accumulation of foam in the foam discharge groove and overflow, this embodiment proposes improvements based on embodiments 1 and 2, such as Figure 3 As shown, the defoaming mechanism also includes a foam scraper 400, which is installed on the pipe assembly 300 and rotates with the pipe assembly. Both ends of the foam scraper are provided with a foam scraping part 420, and the end of the foam scraping part is arranged in the foam discharge groove and contacts the inner wall of the foam discharge groove.
[0089] The rotation of the foam scraper drives the foam in the foam discharge trough to move toward the foam discharge outlet, thereby improving the discharge capacity of the foam discharge trough.
[0090] In this embodiment, if Figure 6As shown, a first slider 410 may be provided at the installation location of the scraper and the pipe assembly;
[0091] A second sliding groove 313 may be provided outside the air blowing pipe corresponding to the first slider. The second sliding groove extends along the linear motion direction of the pipe assembly, and the first slider is accommodated in the second sliding groove.
[0092] Through the cooperation of the first sliding block and the second sliding groove, the synchronous rotation of the foam scraper and the pipeline assembly is achieved without affecting the linear movement of the pipeline assembly.
[0093] In this embodiment, if Figure 7 As shown, the foam scraping portion can be designed to be L-shaped, and a limiting plate in contact with the step surface of the foam scraping portion is provided on the top of the foam discharge groove.
[0094] The cooperation between the limiting plate and the foam scraping part can prevent the foam scraper from linearly moving along with the pipeline assembly.

Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
