Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food production equipment, specifically to an egg liquid separator. Background Technology

[0002] Separating egg yolks from egg whites is a common process in food preparation. The main purpose is to leverage the excellent foaming properties of egg whites, which, during stirring or whipping, can trap a large amount of air to form a stable foam structure. This characteristic makes it a key factor in creating many fluffy foods, such as meringues and soufflés. When making meringues, egg whites are whipped to stiff peaks before being mixed with sugar and other ingredients; the resulting meringues are crisp and melt in your mouth. Egg yolks, on the other hand, contain abundant emulsifiers such as lecithin, giving them strong emulsifying abilities. In making mayonnaise, cream sauces, ice cream, and other similar products, the separated yolks can evenly mix immiscible substances like oil and water to form a stable emulsion.

[0003] Currently used egg separation equipment involves pouring egg liquid into a pre-separation hopper. Since the hopper is fixed in place, if loose eggs are found, the egg liquid in the pre-separation hopper needs to be promptly intercepted. The current method involves creating a slot on one side of the pre-separation hopper. When loose eggs are found, they are manually scraped to the outer slot. However, this process is prone to errors due to slow operation, causing loose eggs to flow into the guide plate of the subsequent separation component, resulting in loose eggs entering the egg white bowl. Manually scraping loose eggs from the pre-separation hopper is also extremely inconvenient. Specifically, if the pre-separation hopper is tilted at a large angle, loose eggs will quickly flow to the subsequent separation area and cannot be scraped out in time. If the tilt angle is too small, normal egg liquid flows to the separation area slowly, resulting in several portions of egg liquid remaining in the pre-separation hopper after the loose eggs are poured out. These loose eggs mix with the normal egg liquid, requiring all of them to be scraped out, leading to waste. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an egg liquid separator to solve the above-mentioned problems. The pre-separation hopper is configured to rotate via a rotating rod, and a loose egg trough is provided on one side of the pre-separation hopper. When loose eggs are dispensed, the rotating rod is turned to quickly guide the loose eggs and the egg liquid remaining on the pre-separation hopper into the loose egg trough. The egg white portion of the loose eggs and other normal egg liquid is discharged downwards through the filter holes in the loose egg trough, so that only the yolk portion of the normal egg liquid remains in the loose egg trough, improving the efficiency of loose egg removal and ease of use, as detailed below.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model provides an egg liquid separator, including a bracket and a pre-separation hopper. The pre-separation hopper is disposed above the bracket. An adjusting arm is disposed on the outer side of the bracket. A rotating rod supporting the pre-separation hopper is rotatably disposed at the end of the adjusting arm. Two sets of symmetrically distributed guide plates are disposed on the inner side of the bracket on the side of the pre-separation hopper away from the rotating rod. A separation groove for separating egg liquid and egg yolk is formed between the two sets of guide plates.

[0007] The pre-separation bucket includes a bucket body with its port facing the guide plate. The bucket body is a groove-shaped structure with a concave center. An egg-scattering groove extends upward from the side of the bucket body away from the adjusting arm. The egg-scattering groove is connected to the bucket body, and the center of the egg-scattering groove is densely covered with filter holes.

[0008] The egg liquid separator described above uses a rotating rod to drive the pre-separation bucket to rotate under the support of the adjusting arm. An egg-spreading trough connected to the bucket body is set on one side of the pre-separation bucket. During normal use, the egg liquid is poured into the pre-separation bucket and flows towards the guide plate along the opening side of the pre-separation bucket. It flows into the separation trough between the two sets of guide plates. The egg white falls down onto the surface of the fixed trough plate and the movable trough plate through the separation trough. The egg yolk remains on the top side of the guide plate and falls down into the egg yolk basin along the guide plate. The egg white basin is placed in the suspension part. The egg white basin pulls the movable trough plate down by its own weight to separate the movable trough plate from the fixed trough plate. The egg white flows down into the egg white basin along the separation position of the bottom of the fixed trough plate and the movable trough plate.

[0009] When cracking the eggs, turn the rotating lever to rotate the pre-separation bucket downwards, which can quickly guide the cracked eggs and the remaining egg liquid on the pre-separation bucket into the cracked egg trough. The egg white portion of the cracked eggs and other normal egg liquid is discharged downwards through the filter holes in the cracked egg trough, so that only the yolk portion of the normal egg liquid remains in the cracked egg trough. Then release the rotating lever to reset the pre-separation bucket under the support of the counterweight. At this time, the yolk flows back into the bucket and continues to be transported to the yolk bowl along the guide plate.

[0010] When changing the egg white bowl, lift the egg white bowl upwards, and at the same time, the elastic band pulls the movable tray plate upwards to rotate it so that the bottom end of the movable tray plate rotates upwards and presses against the bottom end of the fixed tray plate. At this time, the egg white cannot flow downwards through the contact point between the movable tray plate and the fixed tray plate, thus preventing continuous dripping of egg liquid when changing the egg white bowl.

[0011] Preferably, the guide plate is inclined downward at the end away from the pre-separation bucket, the bracket is an "I"-shaped structure with both ends extending upward to the outside of the guide plate, and a mounting screw that passes through the bracket is fixed to the outside of the end of the guide plate.

[0012] Preferably, the outer sides of the mounting screws on both sides of the bracket are threaded with nuts that abut against the side wall of the bracket, the end of the adjusting arm extends to the outer side of the mounting screw, and the adjusting arm is pressed against the bracket by the nuts.

[0013] Preferably, one end of the rotating rod is fixedly connected to the pre-separation bucket, and the other end of the rotating rod is bent downward and fixed with a counterweight.

[0014] Preferably, the inner side of the bracket below the guide plate is provided with a movable slot plate and a fixed slot plate arranged in a "V" shape. The top of the movable slot plate is provided with a rotating shaft that rotatably connects to the bracket, and the top of the fixed slot plate is provided with two sets of fixing screws that fix and connect to the bracket.

[0015] Preferably, a traction position is provided in the middle section of the top side of the movable groove plate, and an elastic band is connected between the traction position and the top of the bracket. The elastic band pulls the bottom of the movable groove plate upward to rotate it to abut against the bottom of the fixed groove plate.

[0016] Preferably, a suspension position is provided on the outer side of the bottom end of the movable groove plate, and a suspension part is connected to the outer side of the suspension position.

[0017] Preferably, the suspension part includes a side support that is detachably connected to the suspension position, a bottom support with a ring structure is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the side support, an egg white bowl is provided on the top side of the bottom support, and an egg yolk bowl is provided below the bottom end of the guide plate.

[0018] Preferably, both the suspension position and the traction position are through holes or upward-facing slots with a longitudinal through structure.

[0019] The beneficial effects are as follows: 1. By setting the pre-separation bucket to rotate via a rotating rod and setting a scrambled egg trough on one side of the pre-separation bucket, when scrambled eggs are cracked out, the rotating rod can be turned to quickly guide the scrambled eggs and the remaining egg liquid on the pre-separation bucket into the scrambled egg trough. The egg white portion of the scrambled eggs and other normal egg liquid is discharged downward through the filter holes in the scrambled egg trough, so that only the yolk portion of the normal egg liquid remains in the scrambled egg trough. Then, the rotating rod is released to reset the pre-separation bucket under the support of the counterweight. At this time, the yolk flows back into the bucket body and continues to be transported to the guide plate position, improving the efficiency of scrambled egg removal and the ease of use.

[0020] 2. In addition, the movable tray and the fixed tray are designed as an egg white discharge channel. The movable tray, which can rotate up and down, can be held up by the elastic band when changing the egg white bowl. This allows the bottom of the movable tray to be pressed against the end of the fixed tray, so that the egg white discharge channel will automatically close after the egg white bowl is removed. This prevents the egg white from dripping down due to its stickiness, which would make it difficult to change the egg white bowl. This makes the use more hygienic. At the same time, the placement of the egg white bowl and the egg yolk bowl is staggered, reducing the overall space occupied by the equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0034] See Figures 1-9 As shown, this utility model provides an egg liquid separator, including a bracket 1 and a pre-separation hopper 2. The pre-separation hopper 2 is disposed above the bracket 1. An adjusting arm 3 is disposed on the outer side of the bracket 1. A rotating rod 4 supporting the pre-separation hopper 2 is rotatably disposed at the end of the adjusting arm 3. The rotating rod 4 and the adjusting arm 3 are in clearance fit to ensure that the rotating rod 4 can drive the pre-separation hopper 2 to rotate under the support of the adjusting arm 3. Two sets of symmetrically distributed guide plates 5 are disposed on the inner side of the bracket 1 on the side of the pre-separation hopper 2 away from the rotating rod 4. A separation groove for separating egg liquid and egg yolk is formed between the two sets of guide plates 5. The egg white falls along the separation groove, and the egg yolk flows downward along the inclined direction of the guide plate 5.

[0035] The pre-separation bucket 2 includes a bucket body 201 with its port facing the guide plate 5. Egg liquid is poured into the bucket body 201 and flows along the bucket body 201 to the top side of the guide plate 5. The bucket body 201 is a groove-shaped structure with a concave center. The bucket body 201 extends upward with an egg-spreading groove 202 on the side away from the adjusting arm 3. The egg-spreading groove 202 is placed at an upward tilt to ensure that egg liquid will not flow into the egg-spreading groove 202 when there are no broken or bad eggs. The egg-spreading groove 202 is connected to the bucket body 201, and the center of the egg-spreading groove 202 is densely covered with filter holes 203. When broken or bad eggs appear, the rotating rod 4 is turned to drive the pre-separation bucket 2 to rotate, and the egg liquid is introduced into the egg-spreading groove 202. The broken eggs, bad eggs and egg white are discharged along the filter holes 203.

[0036] As an optional implementation, the guide plate 5 is inclined downward at the end away from the pre-separation hopper 2, and the bracket 1 is an "I"-shaped structure with both ends extending upward to the outside of the guide plate 5. A mounting screw 501 is fixed to the outer side of the end of the guide plate 5, penetrating the bracket 1. Nuts 502 that abut against the side wall of the bracket 1 are threaded onto the outer side of the mounting screws 501 on both sides of the bracket 1. By adjusting the position of the nuts 502, the distance between the two sets of guide plates 5 can be changed, thereby adjusting the width of the separation groove to accommodate the separation of eggs with different yolk sizes. In use, the end of the adjusting arm 3 extends to the outside of the mounting screw 501, and the adjusting arm 3 is tightly attached to the bracket 1 by the nut 502. The adjusting arm 3 is fixed to the outside of the bracket 1 by the nut 502. The tilt angle of the adjusting arm 3 can be changed according to actual use needs, that is, the tilt state of the pre-separation bucket 2 in the direction of egg liquid guidance can be changed simultaneously. One end of the rotating rod 4 is fixedly connected to the pre-separation bucket 2, and the other end of the rotating rod 4 is bent downward and fixed with a counterweight 401, which can ensure the stability of the rotating rod 4 and the pre-separation bucket 2.

[0037] The inner side of the bracket 1 below the guide plate 5 is provided with a movable slot plate 6 and a fixed slot plate 7 arranged in a "V" shape to facilitate the collection of egg white. The top of the movable slot plate 6 is rotatably connected to the bracket 1 by a rotating shaft 601. The top of the fixed slot plate 7 is provided with two sets of fixing screws 701 that are fixedly connected to the bracket 1. A traction position 603 is provided in the middle of the top side of the movable slot plate 6. An elastic band 8 is connected between the traction position 603 and the top of the bracket 1. The elastic band 8 pulls the bottom end of the movable slot plate 6 upward to rotate it to press against the bottom end of the fixed slot plate 7. A suspension position 602 is provided on the outer side of the bottom end of the movable slot plate 6. A suspension part 9 is connected to the outer side of the suspension position 602. 9 includes a side support 901 that is detachably connected to the suspension position 602. The bottom end of the side support 901 is fixedly connected to a bottom support 902 with a ring structure. An egg white bowl 11 is provided on the top side of the bottom support 902. An egg yolk bowl 10 is provided below the bottom end of the guide plate 5. Both the suspension position 602 and the traction position 603 are through holes or slots with the opening facing upwards in a longitudinal through structure. After the egg white bowl 11 is placed in the suspension part 9, the egg white bowl 11 uses its own weight to press down the suspension position 602, so as to pull down the movable slot plate 6 to the state of separating the fixed slot plate 7. At this time, the egg white can flow into the egg white bowl 11 along the separation opening position at the bottom end of the movable slot plate 6 and the fixed slot plate 7.

[0038] Using the above structure, the pre-separation bucket 2 is rotated by the rotating rod 4 under the support of the adjusting arm 3. An egg-spreading trough 202 is set on one side of the pre-separation bucket 2, which is connected to the bucket body 201. During normal use, the egg liquid is poured into the pre-separation bucket 2 and flows along the opening side of the pre-separation bucket 2 towards the guide plate 5. It flows into the gap separation groove between the two sets of guide plates 5. The egg white falls down through the separation groove onto the surface of the fixed groove plate 7 and the movable groove plate 6. The egg yolk remains on the top side of the guide plate 5. The egg yolk falls down along the guide plate 5 into the egg yolk basin 10. The egg white basin 11 is placed in the suspension part 9. The egg white basin 11 pulls the movable groove plate 6 down by its own weight to separate the movable groove plate 6 from the fixed groove plate 7. The egg white flows down into the egg white basin 11 along the separation position of the bottom of the fixed groove plate 7 and the movable groove plate 6.

[0039] When the eggs are broken up, the rotating rod 4 is turned to drive the pre-separation bucket 2 to rotate the broken egg trough 202 downwards, which can quickly guide the broken eggs and the remaining egg liquid on the pre-separation bucket 2 into the broken egg trough 202. The egg white part of the broken eggs and other normal egg liquid is discharged downwards through the filter hole 203 in the broken egg trough 202, so that only the yolk part of the normal egg liquid remains in the broken egg trough 202. Then the rotating rod 4 is released to reset the pre-separation bucket 2 under the support of the counterweight 401. At this time, the yolk flows back into the bucket body 201 and continues to be transported to the yolk basin 10 along the guide plate 5.

[0040] When changing the egg white bowl 11, lift the egg white bowl 11 upwards, and at the same time, the elastic band 8 pulls the movable slot plate 6 upwards to rotate it so that the bottom end of the movable slot plate 6 rotates upwards and presses against the bottom end of the fixed slot plate 7. At this time, the egg white cannot flow downwards through the contact point between the movable slot plate 6 and the fixed slot plate 7, thus preventing the egg liquid from continuously dripping when changing the egg white bowl 11.

[0041] By setting the pre-separation bucket 2 to rotate via a rotating rod 4, and providing a scrambled egg trough 202 on one side of the pre-separation bucket 2, when scrambled eggs are released, the rotating rod 4 is turned to quickly guide the scrambled eggs and the remaining egg liquid on the pre-separation bucket 2 into the scrambled egg trough 202. The egg white portion of the scrambled eggs and other normal egg liquid is discharged downwards through the filter holes 203 in the scrambled egg trough 202, leaving only the yolk portion of the normal egg liquid in the scrambled egg trough 202. Afterwards, the rotating rod 4 is released to reset the pre-separation bucket 2 under the support of the counterweight 401. At this time, the yolk flows back into the bucket body 201 and continues to be conveyed to the guide plate 5, improving the efficiency of scrambled egg removal and ease of use.

[0042] Furthermore, the movable tray 6 and the fixed tray 7 are designed together to form an egg white discharge channel. By relying on the movable tray 6, which can rotate up and down, the elastic band 8 can be used to keep the bottom of the movable tray 6 pressed against the end of the fixed tray 7 when changing the egg white bowl 11. This allows the egg white discharge channel to be automatically closed after the egg white bowl 11 is removed, preventing the egg white from dripping down due to its stickiness and making it difficult to change the egg white bowl 11. This makes the use more hygienic. At the same time, the placement of the egg white bowl 11 and the egg yolk bowl 10 is staggered, reducing the overall space occupied by the equipment.

[0043] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
