Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying machinery technology, and in particular to a non-destructive conveying device for white eggs. Background Technology
[0002] White eggs are the portion of a raw egg containing only the egg white and yolk after boiling and peeling. These white eggs are then further processed in downstream braising processes to produce braised eggs and other egg products. The egg white in white eggs is relatively delicate and easily breaks when squeezed or bumped. Broken white eggs cannot be used for further processing and become waste material, leading to a waste of raw materials and energy. Therefore, after obtaining white eggs, they are generally picked up manually and placed on containers before being transferred to braising machines. This process is labor-intensive, inefficient, and still difficult to prevent breakage. To address this, the inventors have considered using water power to transport white eggs between adjacent processes. Using water as a carrier, the resistance of the water between the eggs can reduce collisions and compression, thus lowering the breakage rate. However, hydraulic conveying requires a flow channel with a certain drop from high to low. In actual sites, the white egg production equipment and braising machine are already fixed and spaced at fixed distances, and it is not easy to raise them. The slope of the channel required for hydraulic conveying cannot be generated between the equipment of adjacent processes, so hydraulic conveying technology cannot be implemented at present. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is: a non-destructive conveying device for white eggs, including a tank, a lifting channel provided inside the tank, a float that moves up and down installed in the lifting channel, the float being connected to a buoyancy drive mechanism; the float includes a low-position receiving state and a high-position discharging state, a feed inlet is provided on the side wall of the lifting channel, the feed inlet being no lower than the position of the float in the low-position receiving state, a discharge outlet is also provided on the side wall of the lifting channel, the discharge outlet being no lower than the position of the float in the high-position discharging state, and a discharge driving structure is provided on the lifting channel for driving the white eggs to the discharge outlet.
[0005] As a preferred technical solution, the buoyancy drive mechanism includes an air-filled chamber disposed within the float body, a water inlet communicating with the lifting channel is provided on the bottom wall of the air-filled chamber, and an air-filling / air-deflating structure is connected to the air-filled chamber; a chain counterweight structure passing through the water inlet and vertically disposed is installed on the top wall of the air-filled chamber.
[0006] As a preferred technical solution, the discharge port is tangentially arranged on the cross-section of the lifting channel, and the discharge driving structure includes a flushing pipe for forming a swirling flow of fluid above the float, the flushing pipe being connected to a flushing pump.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution, the top surface of the float is provided with a groove protrusion in the middle, and the groove protrusion and the side wall of the lifting channel form a storage trough, and the flushing pipe is used to flush tangentially into the storage trough.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the upper side wall of the lifting channel is provided with an overflow port that is no lower than the discharge port.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the discharge port is connected to a conveying channel, which is gradually lowered along the conveying direction; a drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the discharge end of the conveying channel.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the drain outlet is connected to a water receiving container, the water receiving container is provided with a water suction port, the water suction port is connected to a circulating water pump, and the outlet of the circulating water pump is connected to a flushing pipe extending into the lifting channel. The flushing pipe is used to drive the white eggs above the float towards the discharge port. The circulating water pump and the flushing pipe also serve as the discharge driving structure.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the conveying channel includes a main conveying channel, at least two material discharge ports arranged sequentially are provided at the bottom of the main conveying channel, each material discharge port is provided with a material discharge switch for opening and closing the corresponding material discharge port, a conveying branch channel is provided below each material discharge port, and a drain port is provided at the bottom of the discharge end of each conveying branch channel.
[0012] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the egg-free conveying device includes a tank with a lifting channel inside. A float that moves vertically is installed within the lifting channel, and the float is connected to a buoyancy drive mechanism. The float has a low-position receiving state and a high-position discharging state. An inlet is located on the side wall of the lifting channel, and the inlet is not lower than the position of the float in the low-position receiving state. An outlet is also located on the side wall of the lifting channel, and the outlet is not lower than the position of the float in the high-position discharging state.

Furthermore, regardless of the lifting process or the subsequent conveying process, the white eggs remain in a water environment. Due to the water's resistance to the movement of the white eggs, there is no significant impact or compression between them, significantly reducing the breakage rate throughout the entire conveying process.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. In the following detailed description, only certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art will recognize that various modifications can be made to the described embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are illustrative in nature and not intended to limit the scope of the claims.
[0023] Example 1: As Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the white egg non-destructive conveying device includes a tank 1, a lifting channel 2 inside the tank 1, and a float 3 that moves vertically within the lifting channel 2. The float 3 is connected to a sinking and floating drive mechanism 4. The float 3 has a low-position receiving state and a high-position discharging state. Under the drive of the sinking and floating drive mechanism 4, the float 3 can sink to the low-position receiving state or float to the high-position discharging state.
[0024] The buoyancy drive mechanism 4 described in this embodiment includes an air-filled chamber 41 disposed within the float 3. The bottom wall of the air-filled chamber 41 has a water inlet 42 communicating with the lifting channel 2. The air-filled chamber 41 is connected to an air-filling / deflating structure 43. A chain counterweight structure 44, passing through the water inlet 42 and vertically positioned, is installed on the top wall of the air-filled chamber 41. When the air-filling / deflating structure 43 fills the air-filled chamber 41 with a certain amount of gas, the water inside the air-filled chamber 41 is squeezed out, increasing the buoyancy of the float 3. However, the weight of the float 3 remains unchanged. Under this condition where gravity is less than buoyancy, the float 3 will experience an upward motion. During this upward motion, more chain links in the chain counterweight structure 44 will be lifted, and these lifted chain links, acting as counterweight, will increase the overall weight of the float 3, causing the float 3 to quickly regain a suspended state where gravity and buoyancy are equal. Conversely, when the inflation / deflation structure 43 releases a certain amount of gas from the inflation chamber 41, the float 3 will sink.
[0025] The indirect buoyancy drive through the above inflation and deflation operations avoids oil pollution caused by mechanical structures, ensuring a clean transportation environment. Adding the chain counterweight structure 44 as a counterweight during the buoyancy process makes the inflation and deflation drive easier to control, improving the stability of the buoyancy drive process. The inflation and deflation structure 43 includes an air pipe extending into the inflation chamber 41. The air pipe extends out of the inflation chamber 41 and is connected to an inflation pump and a deflation valve. During inflation, the deflation valve is closed, and the inflation pump fills the inflation chamber 41 with gas, stopping when the float 3 reaches the required position. During deflation, the deflation valve is opened. The chain counterweight structure 44 can be implemented using an interlocking chain link structure, with each link forming the aforementioned chain segment. Alternatively, other counterweights can be used, connected adjacently by flexible ropes or hook structures, with each counterweight forming the aforementioned chain segment. This embodiment does not limit this and only illustrates the former. Of course, in addition to adopting the above-mentioned inflation and deflation structure 43, the sinking and floating drive mechanism 4 can also be directly driven by a drive cylinder or motor to lift the lifting rod connected to the float 3. These methods should also be within the protection scope of the sinking and floating drive mechanism 4.
[0026] The lifting channel 2 has a feed inlet 21 on its side wall, and the feed inlet 21 is not lower than the position of the float 3 in the low-position receiving state; of course, the feed inlet 21 is preferably provided with a feed switch for opening and closing the feed inlet 21. The lifting channel 2 also has a discharge outlet 22 on its side wall, and the discharge outlet 22 is not lower than the position of the float 3 in the high-position discharging state; of course, the discharge outlet 22 is also preferably provided with a discharge switch for opening and closing the discharge outlet 22.
[0027] The lifting channel 2 is equipped with a discharge conveying structure 5 for driving the white eggs 9 to the discharge port 22. In this embodiment, the discharge port 22 is tangentially arranged in the cross-section of the lifting channel 2. The discharge conveying structure 5 includes a flushing pipe 51 for creating a swirling flow of fluid above the float 3. The flushing pipe 51 is connected to a flushing pump 52. When the float 3 is raised to a high-level discharge state, the flushing pump 52 injects water into the lifting channel 2 through the flushing pipe 51, causing the fluid above the float 3 to form a swirling flow. Under the action of centrifugal force, the white eggs 9 in the water approach the side wall of the lifting channel 2 and move with the swirling flow. When passing through the discharge port 22, they are discharged under the action of centrifugal force; of course, water is discharged at the same time.
[0028] Preferably, the top surface of the float 3 has a grooved protrusion 31 in the middle, and the grooved protrusion 31 and the side wall of the lifting channel 2 form a storage trough 32. The flushing pipe 51 is used to flush the material trough 32 tangentially. With this arrangement, the egg 9 is located on the outer ring above the float 3, and under the influence of water current, the egg 9 can quickly form an output, improving the transfer efficiency.
[0029] During operation, the lifting channel 2 is filled with water. When the float 3 is driven to a low-position receiving state by the buoyancy drive mechanism 4, the feed inlet 21 opens, and the egg 9 enters the lifting channel 2 through the feed inlet 21, positioned above the float 3. This entry is usually accompanied by the input of water. Preferably, the upper side wall of the lifting channel 2 is provided with an overflow outlet no lower than the discharge outlet 22 to prevent water from overflowing the lifting channel 2 and wasting water resources.
[0030] After input is complete, the feed inlet 21 closes, and the float 3 is driven by the buoyancy drive mechanism 4 to float to a high discharge position. The white egg 9 is lifted by the float 3 to the height of the discharge outlet 22. The discharge outlet 22 opens, and the discharge conveying structure 5 drives the white egg 9 on the float 3 towards the discharge outlet 22, completing the output of the white egg 9. After output, the discharge outlet 22 closes, and the buoyancy drive mechanism 4 drives the float 3 to sink, repeating the above lifting and conveying process.
[0031] Based on the above structural principles, this embodiment achieves a phased lifting of the white egg 9, enabling the subsequent flow channel hydraulic conveying to generate the required channel drop, thus achieving the purpose of hydraulic conveying. Furthermore, regardless of the lifting process or the subsequent conveying process, the white egg 9 remains in an aquatic environment. Due to the water's resistance to the movement of the white egg 9, there is no significant impact or compression between the white eggs 9, significantly reducing the breakage rate throughout the entire conveying process.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the diagram, in this embodiment, the discharge port 22 is connected to a conveying channel 6, which is gradually lowered along the conveying direction to form a long-distance hydraulic conveying of the white eggs 9 after lifting and output. A drain port 61 is provided at the bottom of the discharge end of the conveying channel 6, and the water used to convey the white eggs 9 in the conveying channel 6 drains out by itself at the drain port 61, so only the white eggs 9 are output from the discharge end of the conveying channel 6.
[0033] Preferably, the drain outlet 61 is connected to a water receiving container 7. This connection can be achieved by setting a water receiving hopper below the drain outlet 61, and then guiding the water collected in the water receiving hopper into the water receiving container 7. The water receiving container 7 is provided with a water intake port, which is connected to a circulating water pump 71. The outlet of the circulating water pump 71 is connected to a flushing pipe 51 that extends into the lifting channel 2. The flushing pipe 51 is used to drive the white eggs 9 above the float 3 towards the discharge port 22. The circulating water pump 71 and the flushing pipe 51 also serve as the discharge driving structure 5, that is, the circulating water pump 71 also serves as the flushing pump 52. Accordingly, this embodiment realizes the recycling of water and reduces the waste of water resources.
[0034] Example 2: Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the conveying channel 6 includes a main conveying channel 62, at least two sequentially arranged discharge ports 63 are provided at the bottom of the main conveying channel 62, and each discharge port 63 is provided with a discharge switch for opening and closing the corresponding discharge port 63. Below each discharge port 63, a conveying branch channel 64 is provided, and a drain port 61 is provided at the bottom of the discharge end of each conveying branch channel 64. Through the arrangement of the main conveying channel 62 and the conveying branch channel 64, and the control of the discharge switches, the white egg 9 output from the discharge port 22 can be selectively discharged from a certain conveying branch channel 64. Therefore, this embodiment is convenient for use with multiple downstream braising machines 8 and other equipment.
