Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of egg sterilization technology, specifically to a fresh egg ultraviolet sterilization device. Background Technology

[0002] Ultraviolet (UV) sterilization is a common method for disinfecting egg surfaces. By irradiating the egg surface with a UV lamp, bacteria on the eggshell can be effectively killed.

[0003] In actual use, existing ultraviolet sterilization devices for fresh eggs do not allow the eggs to move inside the sterilization chamber. However, the ultraviolet lamps have a limited irradiation range inside the chamber, which means that eggs that are far away from the ultraviolet lamps cannot be sterilized. In addition, the egg racks are relatively cumbersome to disassemble, and in most cases, the eggs are simply removed from the top of the rack. However, this process may cause the eggs to fall and break. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a fresh egg ultraviolet sterilization device that features egg rotation and easy removal of the egg tray, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a fresh egg ultraviolet sterilization device, including a sterilization barrel, a sealing cover on the top of the sterilization barrel, a locking block fixedly installed on the outer wall of the sealing cover, an ultraviolet lamp tube and a glass sleeve fixedly installed on the inner wall of the sterilization barrel, a worm gear rotatably connected to the inner wall of the sterilization barrel, a rotating disk fixedly installed on the top of the worm gear, an egg tray on the top of the rotating disk, a motor fixedly installed on the inner wall of the sterilization barrel, a worm gear fixedly installed on the output shaft of the motor, a fixing plate and a rotating column fixedly installed on the top of the rotating disk, a fixing shell fixedly installed on the top, an insertion pin slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing shell, a limit rod fixedly installed on the inner wall of the fixing shell, a pull ring fixedly installed on the outer wall of the insertion pin, a spring on the inner wall of the fixing shell, a penetration groove and a connecting groove respectively opened on the top of the egg tray, a fixing groove opened on the outer wall of the fixing plate, and an egg placement groove opened on the top of the egg tray.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the worm and the worm wheel have the same height, and the outer wall of the worm and the worm wheel mesh.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the rotating column and the fixed plate pass through the egg tray, and the rotating column and the inner wall of the connecting groove are the same size, and the fixed plate and the egg tray are slidably connected.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the limiting rod passes through the pull ring, and the limiting rod and the pull ring are slidably connected.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the position of the insertion pin corresponds to the position of the fixing groove, and the diameter of the insertion pin and the fixing groove are the same. The number of fixing grooves is several, and the several fixing grooves are arranged in a straight line on the outer wall of the fixing plate.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the rotating disk and the egg tray have the same diameter, and the egg tray and the inner wall of the glass sleeve have the same diameter, and the rotating disk and the egg tray are located on the inner wall of the glass sleeve.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. This ultraviolet sterilization device for fresh eggs works by starting a motor, which in turn drives a worm gear to rotate. The worm gear meshes with a worm wheel, which in turn drives a rotating disk to rotate. The rotating disk drives a rotating column at the top to rotate, which in turn drives an egg tray to rotate. This causes the egg tray to rotate within the glass sleeve, ensuring that every egg on each tray is close to the ultraviolet lamp, thus achieving the same sterilization effect.

[0013] 2. This ultraviolet sterilization device for fresh eggs works by pulling a pull ring, which in turn moves an insertion pin into the fixed shell, causing the spring to contract. When the insertion pin is fully inside the fixed shell, the connection between the insertion pin and the fixed groove disappears, thus the fixing relationship of the fixed shell also disappears. At this point, pulling the fixed shell upward causes the fixed shell to move the egg tray upward, allowing it to be removed from inside the glass sleeve. Attached Figure Description

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 6 An ultraviolet sterilization device for fresh eggs includes a sterilization tank 1, a sealing cover 2 on the top of the sterilization tank 1, a locking block 3 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the sealing cover 2, an ultraviolet lamp tube 4 and a glass sleeve 5 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the sterilization tank 1, a worm gear 6 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the sterilization tank 1, a rotating disk 7 fixedly installed on the top of the worm gear 6, an egg tray 8 on the top of the rotating disk 7, a motor 9 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the sterilization tank 1, a worm gear 10 fixedly installed on the output shaft of the motor 9, and an egg tray 8 on the top of the rotating disk 7. A fixed plate 12 and a rotating column 13 are fixedly installed respectively. A fixed shell 21 is fixedly installed on the top. An insertion pin 14 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed shell 21. A limit rod 17 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the fixed shell 21. A pull ring 16 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the insertion pin 14. A spring 15 is provided on the inner wall of the fixed shell 21. A through groove 19 and a connecting groove 20 are respectively opened on the top of the egg tray 8. A fixed groove 18 is opened on the outer wall of the fixed plate 12. An egg placement groove 11 is opened on the top of the egg tray 8.

[0023] In the above structure, the sterilization tank 1 and the sealing cover 2 can be connected by the locking block 3, thereby forming a sealed space between the sealing cover 2 and the sterilization tank 1, which makes the sterilization effect inside the sterilization tank 1 better.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the worm 10 and the worm wheel 6 are at the same height, and the worm 10 meshes with the outer wall of the worm wheel 6.

[0025] In the above structure, by starting the motor 9, the motor 9 drives the worm gear 10 to rotate, and the rotation of the worm gear 10 drives the worm wheel 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating disk 7 at the top to rotate.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment: the rotating column 13 and the fixed plate 12 pass through the egg tray 8, and the rotating column 13 is the same size as the inner wall of the connecting groove 20, and the fixed plate 12 is slidably connected to the egg tray 8.

[0027] In the above structure, by placing the egg tray 8 above the rotating column 13, aligning the connecting groove 20 at the top of the egg tray 8 with the rotating column 13, and fitting it onto the outer wall of the rotating column 13, the fixing plate 12 enters the inner wall of the egg tray 8. At this time, the egg tray 8 can slide on the outer wall of the fixing plate 12 and the rotating column 13.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the limiting rod 17 passes through the pull ring 16, and the limiting rod 17 is slidably connected to the pull ring 16.

[0029] In the above structure, the pull ring 16 is limited by the limiting rod 17, so that when the pull ring 16 is pulled, the pull ring 16 can drive the insertion pin 14 to move, so that the pull ring 16 will not tilt when it moves on the inner wall of the fixed shell 21, and thus the insertion pin 14 will not tilt.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment: the position of the insertion pin 14 corresponds to the position of the fixing groove 18, and the diameter of the insertion pin 14 and the fixing groove 18 are the same. There are several fixing grooves 18, and the several fixing grooves 18 are arranged in a straight line on the outer wall of the fixing plate 12.

[0031] In the above structure, by inserting the insertion pin 14 into the inner wall of the fixing groove 18, the fixing groove 18 fixes the position of the insertion pin 14, thereby fixing the fixing shell 21 and fixing the egg tray 8. At this time, the egg tray 8 cannot move. By inserting the insertion pin 14 into the inner wall of the fixing groove 18 at different positions, the fixing position of the insertion pin 14 is different. At the same time, several insertion pins 14 can be fixed by several fixing grooves 18, thereby fixing several egg trays 8.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment: the rotating disk 7 and the egg tray 8 have the same diameter, and the egg tray 8 and the inner wall of the glass sleeve 5 have the same diameter, with the rotating disk 7 and the egg tray 8 located on the inner wall of the glass sleeve 5.

[0033] In the above structure, the rotating disk 7 and the egg tray 8 are covered by the glass sleeve 5, so that the rotating disk 7 and the egg tray 8 are limited by the glass sleeve 5 when rotating, and thus the rotating disk 7 and the egg tray 8 will not tilt when rotating.

[0034] Working principle: When using this equipment, place the eggs on the inner wall of the egg placement slot 11. At this time, open the locking block 3, so that the locking relationship between the sealing cover 2 and the sterilization tank 1 is lost. Pull the sealing cover 2 upward, so that the sealing cover 2 is disengaged from the top of the sterilization tank 1. Then place the egg tray 8 on the top of the rotating column 13. Fit the connecting groove 20 onto the outer wall of the rotating column 13, so that the connecting groove 20 passes through the egg tray 8 and the fixing shell 21. Move the egg tray 8 to a position close to the bottom fixing groove 18, so that the pull ring 16 is aligned with the fixing groove 18. At this time, release the pull ring 16, so that the pressure of the spring 15 is released. The spring 15 then rebounds and pushes the pull ring 16 toward the fixing groove 18, so that the insertion pin 14 enters the interior of the fixing groove 18, thus fixing the position of the insertion pin 14. This causes the insertion pin 14 to fix the position of the fixed shell 21 and the position of the egg tray 8. At this time, the egg tray 8 is fixed inside the glass sleeve 5, and the sealing cover 2 is fixed to the top of the sterilization tank 1, thus sealing the equipment. At this time, the ultraviolet lamp 4 and the motor 9 are started, so that the ultraviolet lamp 4 transmits ultraviolet light into the sterilization tank 1, and sterilizes the eggs on the top of the egg tray 8 through ultraviolet light. The motor 9 drives the worm gear 10 to rotate, so that the worm gear 10 drives the worm wheel 6 to rotate through meshing with the worm wheel 6, so that the glass sleeve 5 drives the rotating disk 7 to rotate. The rotating disk 7 drives the egg tray 8 to rotate through the rotating column 13, so that the egg tray 8 drives the eggs on the top to rotate, so that the eggs on the top of the egg tray 8 approach the ultraviolet lamp 4 at a closer time, thus optimizing the sterilization effect.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
