Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of egg white and yolk separation equipment in poultry egg processing, specifically an egg white and yolk separation device. Background Technology

[0002] Egg white and yolk separation equipment is an important component of poultry egg processing production lines. The equipment can automatically complete the breaking of eggshells, separation of egg liquid, and separation of egg white and yolk. Compared with manual operation, mechanical equipment can significantly improve production efficiency, meet the needs of industrial production, and is suitable for various places such as bakeries, cake shops, and snack food factories to meet different poultry egg processing needs.

[0003] According to Chinese patent application number 202222207273.6, an egg yolk and egg white separator is disclosed, belonging to the field of poultry egg processing technology. It includes a vibration mechanism and a diversion and collection mechanism located above the vibration mechanism. The vibration mechanism includes a base, a support frame is provided on the base, and the vibration mechanism is provided. A connecting plate is connected to a damping spring and a liquid storage tank respectively. A vibrator is provided on the liquid storage tank. When the egg liquid enters the separation plate, the liquid storage tank generates damped vibration on the vibration mechanism through the vibrator and the damping spring. Under the vibration, the egg yolk will bring the surrounding egg white to slide into the ball groove. Due to its high fluidity, the egg white quickly flows into the liquid storage tank through the filter holes under the vibration, thereby achieving separation from the egg yolk. The vibration of the vibration mechanism accelerates the separation of egg white and egg yolk, and the separation is more thorough than the method of separating egg white from egg yolk by its own gravity, thereby improving the separation efficiency of egg white and egg yolk.

[0004] Existing technology effectively solves the problems of slow separation efficiency and incomplete separation in egg yolk and egg white separators on the market. It has the advantages of improving separation efficiency and making separation more thorough. However, after poultry eggs go through multiple processing steps on the production line, some dirt will be attached to the surface. During the shell breaking process, this dirt can easily contaminate the egg white, thus affecting the quality of subsequent processing.

[0005] In summary, this utility model provides an egg white and yolk separation device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Furthermore, some aspects of this utility model can be used alone or in any suitable combination with other aspects disclosed in this utility model.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figure 1-5As shown, this is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides an egg white and yolk separation device, including a support frame 1. Protective plates 2 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the support frame 1. A protective cover 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the protective plates 2. An egg basket 4 is installed on one side of the protective plates 2. A cleaning component 5, a conveying component 6, and a shell-breaking component 7 are installed between the two protective plates 2. A separation component 8 is provided on one side of the support frame 1. The conveying component 6 is used to convey poultry eggs, the shell-breaking component 7 is used to break the shells of poultry eggs, the separation component 8 is used to separate egg white and yolk, and the cleaning component 5 is used to clean the surface of the poultry eggs. The cleaning component 5 includes a brush roller 501, a synchronous wheel 502, a first motor 503, a first reducer 504, and a collection trough 5. 05 and support plate 506, support plate 506 is fixedly connected to one side guard plate 2, first motor 503 and first reducer 504 are both fixed to the top of support plate 506, there are two brush rollers 501 and two synchronous pulleys 502, the two synchronous pulleys 502 are connected by synchronous belt drive, one end of brush roller 501 is fixedly connected to synchronous pulley 502, synchronous pulley 502 is movably connected to guard plate 2 through bearing, the output shaft of first motor 503 is drively connected to input shaft of first reducer 504, the output shaft of first reducer 504 passes through the inner cavity of guard plate 2 and is drively connected to upper brush roller 501, one end of collection groove 505 passes through guard plate 2 and is located below brush roller 501.

[0027] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the eggs are conveyed from the egg basket 4 to the subsequent processing position by the conveying component 6. During the conveying process, the eggs enter the working range of the cleaning component 5. The cleaning component includes a brush roller 501, a synchronous wheel 502, a first motor 503, a first reducer 504, and a collection trough 505.

[0032] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the conveying assembly 6, through the cooperation of the conveying sprocket 601, the conveying chain 602 and the egg tray 603, can stably convey poultry eggs, ensuring that the poultry eggs can smoothly pass through each processing stage, thus improving the working efficiency and stability of the equipment. The second motor 604 drives the second reducer 605, which in turn drives the conveying sprocket 601 and the conveying chain 602 to rotate, while the egg tray 603 moves together with the conveying chain 602, thereby enabling continuous conveying of poultry eggs.

[0033] Example 3

[0034] Reference Figure 2-5 This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.

[0035] In this embodiment, the shell-breaking assembly 7 includes a stepper motor 701, a base plate 702, a top plate 703, a slider 704, a shell-breaking blade 705, a support rod 706, a support pin 707, a tension spring 708, a connecting shaft 709, a first connecting rod 710, a second connecting rod 711, a guide rod 712, and a guide hole 713. The base plate 702 is fixed to the lower end between the two protective plates 2, and the top plate 703 is fixed to the upper end between the two protective plates 2. The stepper motor 701 is fixed to the surface of the protective plate 2. The slider 704 is located between the base plate 702 and the top plate 703. There are two shell-breaking blades 705, and both are movably connected to the slider 704 through movable pins. The tension spring 708 is fixed to the upper end of the two shell-breaking blades 705.

[0036] Support pins 707 are fixed to both ends of the surface of top plate 703. One end of support rod 706 is movably connected to shell-breaking knife 705 through a movable pin. The other end of support pin 707 is sleeved on the surface of support rod 706 and slidably connected to support rod 706. A guide hole 713 is opened on the surface of slider 704. One end of guide rod 712 is fixedly connected to top plate 703. The other end of guide rod 712 passes through guide hole 713 and is fixedly connected to bottom plate 702, and slidably connected to the inner cavity of guide hole 713.

[0037] The separation component 8 includes a base 801, a first V-shaped guide plate 802, a second V-shaped guide plate 803, and a guide box 804. The first V-shaped guide plate 802 is fixed to the upper end of the base 801, and the second V-shaped guide plate 803 is fixed to the lower end of the base 801. One end of the guide box 804 passes through the protective plate 2 and is located below the shell breaking component 7. The other end of the guide box 804 is located above the first V-shaped guide plate 802. The inner cavity of the first V-shaped guide plate 802 is provided with a through groove.

[0038] like Figure 2-5 As shown, when the eggs are conveyed to the shell-breaking assembly 7, the stepper motor 701 starts working. The output shaft of the stepper motor 701 drives the first connecting rod 710 and the second connecting rod 711 to move through the connecting shaft 709, which in turn drives the slider 704 to move between the bottom plate 702 and the top plate 703. The movement of the slider 704 causes the shell-breaking blade 705, which is movably connected to it, to break the eggs. The design of the shell-breaking blade 705 allows it to precisely cut the eggshell while avoiding excessive damage to the egg white. After being broken, the eggs enter the separation assembly 8. Within the working range, the flow guide box 804 is located below the shell-breaking component 7 and is used to receive the egg liquid after shelling. Under the guidance of the flow guide box 804, the egg liquid flows into the inner cavity of the first V-shaped flow guide plate 802. Due to the different densities of egg white and yolk, their flow speeds in the inner cavity of the first V-shaped flow guide plate 802 are also different. The yolk falls into the second V-shaped flow guide plate 803 through the through groove of the first V-shaped flow guide plate 802 and can be collected by the second V-shaped flow guide plate 803. A vibration motor or cam vibrator can also be added to the surface of the separation component 8 to improve the separation efficiency of egg yolk and egg white.

[0039] In use, eggs are placed in egg basket 4. The second motor 604 starts and transmits power to the conveyor sprocket 601 via the second reducer 605. The conveyor sprocket 601 drives the conveyor chain 602 to rotate, and the egg tray 603 fixed on the conveyor chain 602 moves accordingly, thus conveying the eggs. The first motor 503 starts and transmits power to the brush roller 501 at the upper end via the first reducer 504. Since the two synchronous pulleys 502 are connected by a synchronous belt, the two brush rollers 501 will rotate synchronously. The eggs pass through the brush rollers 501 under the drive of the conveyor assembly 6. The brush rollers 501 clean the surface of the eggs, and the dirt generated during cleaning falls into the collection trough 505 below. The stepper motor... When stepper motor 701 is started, its output shaft drives connecting shaft 709 to rotate. Connecting shaft 709 drives slider 704 to slide on guide rod 712 via first connecting rod 710 and second connecting rod 711. The movement of slider 704 causes two shell-breaking blades 705 to open and close in cooperation with tension spring 708 and support rod 706, thereby breaking the shells of passing eggs. The broken egg liquid flows through guide box 804 to first V-shaped guide plate 802. Egg white flows down through the groove on first V-shaped guide plate 802, while egg yolk is intercepted on first V-shaped guide plate 802 and further guided by second V-shaped guide plate 803, thus achieving separation of egg white and egg yolk.
