Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of food processing, in particular to an automatic cleaning line for a tray containing cooked eggs. Background Art

[0002] Braising is a critical step in the production of cooked, soft-boiled eggs. To ensure the integrity of the eggs during the braising process, they are typically handled on trays. To maintain cleanliness, the trays need to be regularly cleaned and recycled.

[0003] However, traditional cleaning methods have several drawbacks. Currently, pallet cleaning primarily relies on large cleaning tanks. While capable of handling multiple pallets simultaneously, this approach also presents a number of challenges. First, it requires significant labor to handle the pallets. Second, additional space is required to temporarily stack the pallets during the cleaning and drying process, reducing their efficiency as they remain idle most of the time. Furthermore, the cleaning tanks require the replacement of the cleaning water after a period of use, a process that is both time-consuming and costly.

[0004] To address these issues, we proposed an automated pallet washing line that is designed to improve cleaning efficiency, reduce manual labor, optimize space utilization, and reduce long-term operating costs. Utility Model Content

[0028] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution, the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments. The description in this section is only exemplary and explanatory and should not have any limiting effect on the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the specific solution of this embodiment is: an automatic cleaning line for cooked egg trays, including a transmission component 10 for conveying trays; Figure 2 、 4 As shown, the transmission component 10 includes a bracket 101, and a plurality of transmission rollers 102 are rotatably provided on the top of the bracket 101, and the plurality of transmission rollers 102 are connected to each other by transmission, specifically by chain transmission. A loading station 11 is provided on the feeding side of the transmission component 10, and pallets to be cleaned are stacked at the loading station 11, which are manually transferred to the transmission component 10 for cleaning. Along the conveying direction of the transmission component 10, a cleaning device 12, a drying device 13 and a stacking device 14 are sequentially provided, that is, during the cleaning process, the pallet is first cleaned when passing through the cleaning device 12 under the conveyance of the transmission component 10, and then dried by the drying device 13. When the dried pallet moves to the stacking device 14, it is stacked.

[0030] Specifically, the stacking device 14 includes a clamping claw 141 for clamping the pallet and moving it up and down, and also includes a gantry 142 arranged on both sides of the transmission component 10. A first telescopic cylinder 143 is fixedly arranged on the gantry 142. In this embodiment, the first telescopic cylinder 143 adopts a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric push rod can also be adopted. The output shaft end of the first telescopic cylinder 143 is connected to a clamping seat 144, and the clamping claw 141 is slidably arranged on the clamping seat 144. Figure 2 As shown, a guide rail is provided on the bottom surface of the clamping seat 144 to facilitate the sliding of the clamping claws 141, and the clamping seat 144 is provided with a driving source for driving the clamping claws 141 to slide along the clamping seat 144 to clamp and release the pallet. In this embodiment, the driving source is a set cylinder, and each clamping claw 141 is separately connected to a cylinder. When clamping the pallet, the cylinder drives the clamping claws 141 to move toward the middle to clamp the pallet. In addition, guide plates 103 are provided on both sides of the transmission roller 102. The guide plates 103 are located below the stacking device 14. The width of the two guide plates 103 is wider than the width of the pallet, and the two guide plates 103 gradually transition from wide to narrow on both sides to the middle. This is mainly to prevent the pallet from sliding to the two sides during the conveying process, so that it can accurately enter the position to be stacked. Stacking is to reduce the space occupied by the pallet.

[0031] A blocking member 16 extending upward to block the movement of the pallet is provided below the transmission component 10. The blocking member 16 is specifically a blocking rod. The blocking member 16 blocks the pallet so that the clamping claw 141 can clamp the pallet and stack it. Specifically, a second telescopic cylinder 20 is fixedly provided on the bracket 101. A plurality of connecting rods 21 for installing the blocking member 16 are fixedly provided on the output shaft of the second telescopic cylinder 20. In this embodiment, the blocking members 16 are equidistantly installed on the connecting rods 21, and 4 are provided. When the second telescopic cylinder 20 drives the blocking member 16 to extend upward, it can drive the blocking member 16 to rise from the gap between the transmission rollers 102, thereby blocking the transmission component. 10, thereby realizing the positioning of the conveying pallet, so that the clamping claw 141 moves downward to clamp the pallet. During the stacking process, the clamping claw 141 clamps the lowermost pallet and rises until the next pallet is transported to the position to be stacked. The clamping claw 141 continues to drive the clamped pallet to move downward to place it on the pallet on the transmission component 10, and then the clamping claw 141 continues to clamp the lowermost pallet downward until the stacking quantity is reached, and the stacked pallet is placed on the transmission component 10, and the second telescopic cylinder 20 is controlled to drive the blocking member 16 to fall, losing the blocking effect on the stacked pallet, thereby sending the stacked pallet away.

[0032] A transfer device 15 is also provided on the discharge side of the transmission component 10. The transfer device 15 is used to transfer the stacked pallets to the transport direction and send them to the marinating area. Specifically, the transfer device 15 includes a movable transmission roller component 152 at the same horizontal position as the transmission component 10. The structure of the movable transmission roller component 152 is the same as that of the transmission component 10, including multiple transmission rollers. Chain transmission is adopted between the transmission rollers. The bottom of the movable transmission roller component 152 is rotatably connected with a base 151. The base 151 and the support frame of the movable transmission roller component 152 are rotatably arranged with each other. A second driving source for driving the movable transmission roller component 152 to rotate and change position is provided on the base 151. In this embodiment, the second driving source is a motor. After the stacked pallets are transported to the movable transmission roller component 152, the second driving source can be started to rotate the movable transmission roller component 152 to change the movement direction of the pallets transported on the movable transmission roller component 152, so that they can be transferred to the pallet feeding side of the marinating line to complete the cyclic feeding, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of the pallets.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned embodiment, a water collecting tank 17 is provided below the transmission component 10 at the same position as the cleaning device 12 and the drying device 13, wherein the water collecting tank 17 located on the lower side of the cleaning device 12 is recessed downward, and a drain pipe 171 for draining water outward is provided at the bottom of the water collecting tank 17; a first cover shell 18 and a second cover shell 19 are also provided above the transmission component 10, wherein the cleaning device 12 includes a nozzle 121 provided in the water collecting tank 17 and the first cover shell 18, and the nozzle of the nozzle 121 is facing the transmission component 10; through the water collecting tank 17, the first cover shell 18 and the second cover shell 19, the trays in the cleaning process can be arranged in a relatively closed space, thereby reducing the overflow of water vapor during the cleaning process, and the drying device 13 includes a plurality of hot air blowers 131 provided on the top of the second cover shell 19.

[0034] The specific working principle of the utility model is as follows: the pallets to be cleaned are stacked at the loading station 11, and the pallets are placed on the transmission assembly 10 in sequence by humans or robots for transportation. When the pallets are transported to the position of the cleaning device 12, the nozzle 121 sprays cleaning water to the surface of the pallets for washing. When the pallets are transported to the position of the drying device 13, the hot air blower 131 blows air to dry the pallets.

[0035] After the pallets are dried in the drying device 13, they are transported to the position of the stacking device 14. The second telescopic cylinder 20 drives the blocking member 16 to move upward to block the pallet from moving forward, so that the clamping jaws 141 can clamp the pallets up and down for stacking. After the number of stacking is reached on the clamping jaws 141, the second telescopic cylinder 20 drives the blocking member 16 to move downward, and the pallets are transported to the transfer device 15 under the transmission of the transmission component 10. The transfer device 15 changes the direction of transportation and sends the stacked pallets to the pallet feed of the marinating line, thereby realizing the complete cycle process of pallet use and cleaning.
