Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soft-boiled egg processing technology, and in particular to a cooling device for soft-boiled egg production line processing. Background Technology
[0002] A search revealed a patent publication number: "CN217636405U" for a cooling device used in the production line processing of soft-boiled eggs. The device includes a cooling pool, a conveyor belt installed at one end of the cooling pool, an anti-collision mechanism installed inside the cooling pool, two partition plates fixedly installed on the lower surface of the cooling pool, water pushers installed on the partition plates, a zoned cooling mechanism installed inside the cooling pool, and guide slides fixedly installed on both sides of the upper end of the cooling pool. Multiple holding boxes are placed inside the cooling pool, guide wheels are installed on both sides of the upper end of each holding box, and passage openings are provided on the partition plates. A hydraulic telescopic rod is installed on one side of the upper end of the cooling pool. The advantages of this invention are that it can move the soft-boiled eggs by the flow of water, preventing collisions, and can quickly cool the eggs. It also allows the eggs to be placed in the holding boxes for easy collection.
[0003] Although the aforementioned patent can place the soft-boiled egg in a container and promote the flow of cooling water so that the soft-boiled egg moves with the water and is not damaged by collision, the container needs to be lifted and removed when it is full, which is time-consuming and laborious, and cannot fully automate the cooling process of the soft-boiled egg. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a cooling device for soft-boiled egg production line processing. Through the organic combination of components such as conveyor belts, cooling pools, and filter frames, it achieves full automation from conveying soft-boiled eggs to cooling, filtering, and unloading, thereby improving the overall utilization rate and capacity of the production line. At the same time, the automated and continuous production method also reduces labor costs and improves production efficiency.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A cooling device for processing soft-boiled eggs on a production line includes a cooling tank:
[0007] A mounting base is fixedly installed on the side wall of the cooling pool. Two reinforcing plates are fixedly installed between the lower end of the mounting base and the side wall of the cooling pool. A second motor is fixedly installed on the lower end of the mounting base. A rotating column is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the second motor. A mounting plate is fixedly installed on the upper end of the rotating column. A material collection mechanism for collecting soft-boiled eggs is provided on the mounting plate.
[0008] The cooling pool is equipped with a water-pushing mechanism to drive the flow of cooling water.
[0009] Preferably, the material collection mechanism includes a multi-stage hydraulic cylinder fixedly mounted on the upper end of the mounting plate, a fixed frame fixedly mounted on the telescopic end of the multi-stage hydraulic cylinder, and a filter frame fixedly mounted on the lower end of the fixed frame.
[0010] Preferably, the filter frame has multiple through holes on both the left and right sides, and a filter screen is fixedly installed at the bottom of the filter frame.
[0011] Preferably, the water-pushing mechanism includes a first motor fixedly installed on the side wall of the cooling pool, the output shaft of the first motor extending into the interior of the cooling pool and fixedly installed with a rotating shaft, and multiple water-pushing plates evenly spaced on the outer side of the rotating shaft.
[0012] Preferably, the pusher plate is located on the left side of the filter frame.
[0013] Preferably, the fixing frame consists of a horizontal plate and two symmetrically arranged inclined plates.
[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. When the soft-boiled eggs fall into the cooling tank from the end of the conveyor belt, the water filter frame and the water cushioning effectively reduce the risk of the soft-boiled eggs coming into direct contact with hard objects, avoid damage caused by impact, and ensure the integrity and quality of the product.
[0016] 2. The first motor drives the water pusher plate to rotate, which pushes the water in the filter frame to flow. This design not only promotes water circulation and renewal, but also helps the soft-boiled egg to move slowly with the water flow, avoiding direct collision between eggs and further reducing the possibility of breakage.
[0017] 3. The application of multi-stage hydraulic cylinders allows the filter frame to be raised and lowered flexibly. After the soft-boiled eggs have cooled in the cooling tank, raising the filter frame quickly separates the eggs from the water, reducing manual operation time and labor intensity. At the same time, the raised filter frame also facilitates subsequent material handling, improving overall production efficiency.
[0018] 4. The second motor drives the rotating column and mounting plate to rotate, realizing the automatic replacement of the filter frame. This design allows the soft-boiled eggs in a filter frame to be cooled and filtered before being quickly replaced with a new empty filter frame without interrupting the cooling process, thus ensuring the continuity and efficiency of production.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-3 A cooling device for a soft-boiled egg production line includes a cooling tank 1. A conveyor belt is installed above the cooling tank 1 for conveying the soft-boiled eggs. The end of the conveyor belt corresponds to a filter frame 12. A guide plate may also be installed between the conveyor belt and the filter frame 12 to facilitate the guiding of the soft-boiled eggs. (Not shown in the figure.)
[0026] A mounting base 9 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the cooling pool 1. Two reinforcing plates 11 are fixedly installed between the lower end of the mounting base 9 and the side wall of the cooling pool 1. A second motor 10 is fixedly installed on the lower end of the mounting base 9. A rotating column 8 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the second motor 10. A mounting plate 7 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the rotating column 8. A material collection mechanism for collecting soft-boiled eggs is provided on the mounting plate 7. The material collection mechanism includes a multi-stage hydraulic cylinder 6 fixedly installed on the upper end of the mounting plate 7. A fixing frame 5 is fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the multi-stage hydraulic cylinder 6. The fixing frame 5 consists of a horizontal plate and two symmetrically arranged inclined plates. A filter frame 12 is fixedly installed on the lower end of the fixing frame 5. Multiple through holes 13 are distributed on both the left and right sides of the filter frame 12. A filter screen 14 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the filter frame 12.
[0027] The cooling pool 1 is equipped with a water-pushing mechanism for driving the flow of cooling water. The water-pushing mechanism includes a first motor 2 fixedly installed on the side wall of the cooling pool 1. The output shaft of the first motor 2 extends into the interior of the cooling pool 1 and is fixedly installed with a rotating shaft 4. Multiple water-pushing plates 3 are evenly spaced on the outer side of the rotating shaft 4. The water-pushing plates 3 are located on the left side of the filter frame 12.
[0028] Working principle:
[0029] During cooling, as the soft-boiled egg moves to the end of the conveyor belt, it falls into the water in the cooling pool 1, placing it within the water filter frame 12. The water cushions the egg, preventing it from breaking. Simultaneously, the first motor 2 is activated, its output shaft rotating, which in turn rotates the rotating shaft 4. This rotation, in turn, rotates the pusher plate 3, pushing the water inside the filter frame 12 to one side, thus creating water flow. This allows the soft-boiled egg to fall into the water... Afterward, it moves with the water flow, thus preventing the soft-boiled eggs from colliding. After a period of time, a suitable amount of soft-boiled eggs are placed in a filter frame 12. The multi-stage hydraulic cylinder 6 is activated, which raises the filter frame 12. Then, the second motor 10 is turned on, which drives the rotating column 8 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating column 8 drives the mounting plate 7 to rotate, thus realizing the rotation of the filter frame 12. The new filter frame 12 is placed into the cooling pool 1, and the raised filter frame 12 makes it easier to pick up the soft-boiled eggs.
