Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of egg yolk separation devices, specifically an egg yolk separation device for extracting egg lecithin. Background Technology
[0002] Egg lecithin, also known as egg yolk lecithin, is a yellowish-brown oily substance found in eggs and is widely present in animal and plant tissues and egg yolks.
[0003] When extracting egg lecithin, the yolk and egg white must first be separated. The separated yolk is then processed and extracted. In existing technology, the egg white is usually discharged through a filter plate with openings, while the yolk flows through the inclined filter plate and is discharged into the inside of the collection box. However, when the yolk inside the collection box needs to be recovered and separated from the device, the egg white outside the device will slowly flow out due to its low flow speed and its transparent nature, which makes it difficult to observe. This leads to contamination of the processing environment and waste of egg white. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] This utility model provides a technical solution, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 An egg yolk separation device for extracting lecithin from eggs includes: a base 1, an inclined plate 2, a separation plate 3, a collection box 4, a track block 5, and a collection chamber 6. The inclined plate 2 and the collection box 4 are both mounted on the upper end of the base 1. The separation plate 3 is embedded in the bottom of the inner cavity of the separation plate 3. The track block 5 is connected to the inclined plate 2. The collection chamber 6 is slidably disposed inside the track block 5. Track blocks 61 are mounted on both sides of the collection chamber 6, and the track blocks 61 are slidably connected to the track block 5. A closing mechanism 7 is mounted on the bottom of the track block 5.
[0025] The base 1 is used to support the inclined plate 2 and the collection box 4. The inclined plate 2 is designed to be inclined and is used with the separation plate 3 to separate the egg white and egg yolk. The collection box 4 can collect the separated egg white. The track block 5 is connected to the inclined plate 2 to support and assemble the collection chamber 6. The track block 61 can slide the collection chamber 6 inside the track block 5.
[0026] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4The closing mechanism 7 includes a hollow column 71, which is embedded in the bottom of the track groove block 5. A first piston rod 72 is slidably connected inside the hollow column 71. Both sides of the hollow column 71 are connected to bent pipes 73. Square grooves 76 are opened on both sides of the inner side of the track groove block 5. The square grooves 76 are opened in the inner cavity of the track groove block 5, and the bent pipes 73 are connected to the square grooves 76. A second piston rod 75 is slidably connected inside the square grooves 76, and a first spring 74 is connected between the second piston rod 75 and the square grooves 76.
[0027] The hollow column 71 can guide the first piston rod 72 to move linearly. The first piston rod 72 can close the track groove block 5. The square groove 76 cooperates with the second piston rod 75, so that when the second piston rod 75 is driven by the track block 61, it generates negative pressure, which drives the first piston rod 72 to move through the bent tube 73. The first spring 74 can drive the second piston rod 75 to return to its original position after moving.
[0028] Both sides of the top of the track block 5 are connected to a locking mechanism 8. The locking mechanism 8 includes a hollow cylinder 81. A T-shaped plate 83 is slidably connected inside the hollow cylinder 81. A slot is opened at the end of the track block 61 that contacts the hollow cylinder 81. A second spring 84 is connected between the T-shaped plate 83 and the hollow cylinder 81.
[0029] The hollow cylinder 81 can guide the T-shaped plate 83, which can be inserted into the track block 61 to fix the position of the collection chamber 6.
[0030] The top of the base 1 is equipped with a hopper assembly 11, and the hopper assembly 11 is located directly above the inclined plate 2. The hopper assembly 11 is a common hopper in the prior art, which can collect egg whites and yolks for discharging from the top of the inclined plate 2.
[0031] The top of the hollow column 71 is sealed, and a sealing sleeve is fitted at the junction of the hollow column 71 and the first piston rod 72. The bottom of the hollow column 71 is open, and the bottom of the hollow column 71 can exhaust air when the first piston rod 72 moves. At the same time, the first piston rod 72 includes a sealing plate, which fits into the inner cavity of the track groove block 5. A piston that is slidably connected to the hollow column 71 is fitted at the bottom of the sealing plate.
[0032] The hollow cylinder 81 has a vertical groove 82 on its outside. A horizontal plate 85 is connected between the two T-shaped plates 83. The vertical groove 82 facilitates the movement of the horizontal plate 85. The horizontal plate 85 can drive the two vertical grooves 82 to move at the same time.
[0033] The collection chamber 6 is equipped with a handle on the outside, and the handle is fitted with an anti-slip sleeve. The anti-slip sleeve makes it easy for the staff to drive the handle to pull the collection chamber 6. The inside of the track block 5 is provided with track grooves on both sides that are adapted to the track block 61. The track grooves are slidably connected to the track block 61, and the track grooves facilitate the sliding assembly of the collection chamber 6 and the track block 61 inside the track block 5.
[0034] This method first involves breaking the eggs and placing them into the hopper assembly 11. The eggs then flow through the hopper assembly 11 to the top of the inclined plate 2. After passing through the filter holes at the top of the inclined plate 2, the egg whites are discharged into the collection box 4. The yolks, being a whole, slide out from inside the inclined plate 2 and fall into the collection bin 6. When the yolks in the collection bin 6 need to be cleaned, the collection bin 6 is pulled out from inside the track groove block 5. At this time, the second piston rod 75 is released from its contact and returns to its original position via the first spring 74. Then, the first piston rod 72 is pulled up by the negative pressure combined with the bent tube 73, sealing the inside of the collection bin 6. The two T-shaped plates 83 are then pulled up by the horizontal plate 85, releasing the track block 61 and pulling out the collection bin 6 for cleaning. After cleaning, the collection bin 6 is reinserted into the track groove block 5. At this time, the T-shaped plates 83 fix the position of the track block 61 through the slots, and the sealing mechanism 7 is driven to return to its original position, releasing the seal on the track groove block 5. The yolks and a small amount of egg whites flow back into the collection bin 6.
[0035] The added sealing mechanism 7 automatically seals the track trough 5 when the collection chamber 6 is separated from the track trough 5, preventing a small amount of egg white from flowing out of the device due to its inconvenient observation and slow flow characteristics, thus avoiding egg white waste and environmental pollution. At the same time, the added locking mechanism 8 automatically fixes the position of the collection chamber 6 when it is spliced with the track trough 5, improving the overall stability of the collection chamber 6 and the sealing mechanism 7 during use.
