Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of quail egg food processing technology, specifically to a quail egg surface cleaning device based on quail egg food production. Background Technology

[0002] Quail eggs are the eggs of quails and are a nutritious food. The processing of quail eggs includes selecting eggs, cleaning, boiling, shelling, braising, and packaging.

[0003] The processing and cleaning of quail eggs is a crucial step in ensuring their quality and food safety. Dirt, bacteria, feces, and other microorganisms can adhere to the eggshell surface. These contaminants pose a potential threat to the health of consumers; therefore, cleaning quail eggs before processing is essential.

[0004] Chinese Patent No. CN221901928U discloses a cleaning device for quail egg processing, including a cleaning tank. A placement plate is fixedly connected to one side of the cleaning tank, and a motor is fixedly connected to the top of the placement plate. A rotating wheel is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor. The other side of the rotating wheel penetrates the side wall of the cleaning tank and is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the cleaning tank. A chain track is wound around the outer surface of the rotating wheel, and multiple rotating wheels are installed in the inner cavity of the chain track. This cleaning device for quail egg processing can clean a large number of quail eggs by spraying water and rotating sponge rollers to prevent contaminants from affecting the health of consumers. It solves the problem that traditional cleaning methods not only have poor cleaning effect but also easily crush the quail eggs, thus affecting the subsequent processing of the quail eggs.

[0005] After the device is used, there may be pollutants such as feces and broken eggshells on the track (the facility for transporting quail eggs). If it is not cleaned in time, it will lead to bacterial growth, odor, and even oxidation and corrosion of the track. Since the device does not have equipment to automatically and completely clean the track, manual cleaning of the track is required, which increases the workload of the users. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the existing technology, this utility model provides a quail egg surface cleaning device based on quail egg food production to solve the above problems.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A quail egg surface cleaning device for quail egg food production includes a housing with a conveyor belt mechanism inside. A connecting rod is slidably fitted on the inner wall of the housing.

[0026] The following will be for reference. Figures 1 to 5 The various embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0027] A quail egg surface cleaning device for quail egg food production, such as Figures 1-3As shown, the device includes a housing 1, inside which is a conveyor belt mechanism. The conveyor belt mechanism includes two conveyor belt groups, with a conveyor roller group between the two conveyor belt groups. The conveyor roller group's conveying section consists of a first transverse conveying area a, a lifting area b, and a second transverse conveying area c. The lifting area b is located between the first transverse conveying area a and the second transverse conveying area c. The conveyor belt group includes a conveyor belt 6. Several rollers 7 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing 1, and the rollers 7 are all wound around the conveyor belt 6. A central shaft 8 is coaxially fixedly connected to one of the rollers 7, and the central shaft 8 is coaxially fixedly connected to the corresponding roller 7 on another conveyor belt group. A motor 9 is installed on the housing 1, and the output end of the motor 9 is inserted into the housing 1 and coaxially fixedly connected to the central shaft 8.

[0028] The conveyor roller assembly includes several conveyor rollers 5 and several positioning blocks on the conveyor belt 6. The positioning blocks have connection holes corresponding to the ends of the conveyor rollers 5. The ends of the conveyor rollers 5 are in transition rotational engagement with the positioning blocks. The conveyor rollers 5 can only rotate when they are subjected to external rotational driving force.

[0029] When using the device, quail eggs are poured into the box 1, and the pouring position is above the conveyor roller 5 in the second transverse conveying area c (at this time, the water level in the box 1 reaches the water level line 19). After soaking the quail eggs for a period of time, the motor 9 is started. The motor 9 drives the central shaft 8 to rotate the corresponding roller 7. The conveyor belt 6 rolls and makes all the rollers 7 rotate. At the same time, the conveyor roller 5 moves with the conveyor belt 6 and conveys the quail eggs (the conveyor roller 5 transports quail eggs, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail here).

[0030] It should be noted that quail eggs may accumulate on conveyor roller 5. When conveyor roller 5 transports quail eggs to lifting area b, the quail eggs are lifted and removed from the water. It is worth noting that during the lifting process, the quail eggs piled up on top will roll off, thus preventing a large number of quail eggs from accumulating together and affecting the subsequent cleaning effect.

[0031] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a connecting rod 2 is slidably fitted on the inner wall of the housing 1. A cleaning brush 3 is provided at the top of the connecting rod 2, and a float 4 is provided at the bottom of the connecting rod 2. The cleaning brush 3 and the float 4 are located above and below the conveyor belt mechanism, respectively. A sliding groove 10 is provided on the side wall of the housing 1. A positioning rod 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the cleaning brush 3. The positioning rod 11 passes through the sliding groove 10, and the outer surface of the positioning rod 11 is slidably fitted with the inner wall of the sliding groove 10. A spring 12 is installed between the inner bottom wall of the sliding groove 10 and the bottom of the positioning rod 11. The cleaning brush 3 is located above the conveying roller 5 of the first transverse conveying area a. By setting the cleaning brush 3, the surface of the quail eggs can be cleaned, thereby achieving the cleaning of the quail eggs.

[0032] One end of the conveying roller 5 is coaxially fixedly connected to a gear 13. A rack 14 is provided on the inner wall of the housing 1. The rack 14 is located above the conveying roller 5 in the first transverse conveying area a. The gear 13 and the rack 14 are meshed together. When the conveying roller 5 moves with the quail eggs to the first transverse conveying area a, the gear 13 on the conveying roller 5 meshes with the rack 14. When the conveying roller 5 continues to move, the conveying roller 5 rotates, thereby turning the quail eggs over.

[0033] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a rinsing mechanism is provided on the inner wall of the housing 1. The rinsing mechanism is located above the conveyor belt mechanism, and the spraying part of the rinsing mechanism faces the conveyor belt mechanism. The rinsing mechanism includes a collection box 15 and several diversion pipes 16. The diversion pipes 16 are installed inside the housing 1 and are located above the conveying roller 5 of the first transverse conveying area a. The input ends of the multiple diversion pipes 16 extend out of the collection box 15 and are fixedly connected to the collection box 15. Several nozzles 20 are provided on the diversion pipes 16. A hose 17 is provided at the input end of the collection box 15. The hose 17 is connected to an external water supply device. A clamp 18 matching the hose 17 is provided on the housing 1. The opening of the clamp 18 is set downward and the clamp 18 is located directly above the positioning rod 11. When the external water supply device supplies water to the collection box 15 through the hose 17, the water in the collection box 15 flows into the multiple diversion pipes 16, and then the water is sprayed out from the nozzles 20, thereby rinsing the cleaned quail eggs and further improving the cleaning effect on the quail eggs.

[0034] The working principle of the device is as follows: When cleaning quail eggs, the float 4 is pushed upward against the connecting rod 2 by buoyancy. At this time, the cleaning brush 3 rises to the highest point (the positioning rod 11 is in the state of pushing against the hose 17, and the spring 12 is in the state of tension and storage). When the conveying roller 5 carries the quail eggs to the first transverse conveying area a, the gear 13 on the conveying roller 5 meshes with the rack 14. When the conveying roller 5 continues to move, the conveying roller 5 rotates, so that the quail eggs are flipped while moving, so that the cleaning brush 3 can thoroughly clean the quail eggs. Then the nozzle 20 rinses the cleaned quail eggs, further improving the cleaning effect of the quail eggs.

[0035] After the quail eggs are cleaned, the water in the box 1 is drained. At the same time, the float 4 descends, and the connecting rod 2 and cleaning brush 3 also descend. The cleaning brush 3 presses on the conveyor roller 5 below it (while the positioning rod 11 descends). When the conveyor roller 5 moves laterally in the first transverse conveying zone a, the cleaning brush 3 cleans the surface of the conveyor roller 5. It should be noted that the pressure applied by the cleaning brush 3 to the conveyor roller 5 can be increased by the contraction of the spring 12, that is, the cleaning force is increased. Then the nozzle 20 sprays water to rinse the surface of the conveyor roller 5, thereby cleaning the conveyor roller 5.

[0036] It is worth noting that while the conveyor roller 5 moves laterally within the first transverse conveying zone a, the conveyor roller 5 will also rotate, so that the cleaning brush 3 can thoroughly clean the conveyor roller 5 and the nozzle 20 can thoroughly rinse the conveyor roller 5.

[0037] It should be noted that when the positioning rod 11 descends, the positioning rod 11 no longer presses against the hose 17, thereby maximizing the water flow from the hose 17 to the header 15, which increases the water spray pressure of the nozzle 20 and thus improves the rinsing effect on the conveyor roller 5.

[0038] It should be noted that in the description of this utility model, terms such as "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," which indicate direction or positional relationships, are based on the direction or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. These are used merely for ease of description and do not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0039] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components.
