Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of salted duck egg production, and in particular to a salted egg shell crushing mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] The salted egg yolks of salted duck eggs can be used to make various food products. After the yolks are removed from the salted duck eggs, the shells fall from the conveyor belt output into baskets for storage. Because the freshly peeled shells are relatively intact, they occupy a large space in the baskets. To maximize the storage capacity of each basket and reduce the number of baskets used and transported, the shells need to be crushed periodically to free up more space. Currently, this is typically done manually with tools, wasting manpower. Furthermore, if the conveyor belt isn't stopped while the shells are being crushed, more shells will continue to fall, affecting the operator's work; stopping the conveyor belt every time the eggs are manually crushed reduces production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a salted eggshell crushing mechanism that can automatically crush salted eggshells while keeping the salted eggshell conveyor belt running continuously during the crushing process, thus saving labor and ensuring production efficiency.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a salted eggshell crushing mechanism, including a base, a tray that rotates and cooperates with the base, and a rotation drive mechanism connecting the base and the tray; two limiting seats arranged around the center of rotation are connected to the top surface of the tray, and salted eggshell barrels with openings at the top are placed on the limiting seats; a salted eggshell crushing device is also provided above the base, and when one of the salted eggshell barrels rotates with the tray to below the output end of the salted eggshell conveyor belt, the other salted eggshell barrel is located below the salted eggshell crushing device.

[0005] As a further improvement of this utility model, a top frame is connected to the base via a column, and the salted eggshell crushing device includes a first hydraulic telescopic cylinder and a pressure plate. The fixed end of the first hydraulic telescopic cylinder is installed on the top frame, and the moving end of the first hydraulic telescopic cylinder is connected to the pressure plate.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, multiple support rollers are provided between the base and the tray, and each support roller is arranged around the rotation center of the tray.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the top frame is also connected to an eggshell guide groove, which is located below the output end of the salted eggshell conveyor belt.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the limiting seat has an inlet and outlet for the salted eggshell bucket on one side edge away from the rotation center of the tray, and the remaining edges of the limiting seat are provided with blocking parts; the tray is rotatably connected to the limiting roller, which is located below the inlet and outlet of the salted eggshell bucket of each limiting seat, and the highest point of the limiting roller is slightly higher than the bottom of the inner cavity of the limiting seat.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the top frame is provided with a push-out mechanism for pushing the salted eggshell barrel located below the salted eggshell crushing device outward.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the ejection mechanism includes an L-shaped swing arm located between two salted eggshell barrels. The middle part of the L-shaped swing arm is rotatably connected to the top frame via a first rotating shaft. One end of the L-shaped swing arm is rotatably connected to a rotating wheel, and the other end of the L-shaped swing arm is rotatably connected to one end of a second hydraulic telescopic cylinder via a second rotating shaft. The other end of the second hydraulic telescopic cylinder is rotatably connected to the top frame.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, the base is also provided with a ramp, a salted eggshell storage area and a blocking part arranged in sequence along the horizontal direction, with the upper end of the ramp located on one side of the tray below the salted eggshell crushing device.

[0012] Beneficial effects

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the salted eggshell crushing mechanism of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. Two salted eggshell bins are placed on a rotatable pallet via limiting seats. When one bin rotates with the pallet to below the output end of the salted eggshell conveyor belt, the other bin is positioned below the salted eggshell crushing device. One bin catches the salted eggshells falling from the conveyor belt, while the other bin's shells are crushed. The two bins are located at separate workstations and do not interfere with each other. Periodically, the two bins exchange positions via the pallet's rotation. The bin whose shells have just been crushed moves back to below the conveyor belt's output end to catch new shells. This alternating action allows each bin to hold as many salted eggshells as possible, reducing the number of bins needed and the number of transport trips, thus improving production efficiency.

[0015] 2. Multiple support rollers are provided between the base and the tray. The support rollers support the base. When the pressure plate of the salted egg shell crushing device presses down on the salted egg shells in the salted egg shell barrel, the tray will not shift to one side due to local pressure, thus preventing the tray's rotating shaft from deforming.

[0016] 3. When the salted eggshell container is placed in the inner cavity of the limiting seat, since the limiting seat is equipped with limiting rollers on the outside and the highest point of the limiting rollers is slightly higher than the bottom of the inner cavity of the limiting seat, the limiting rollers have a certain limiting effect on the edge of the salted eggshell container. When the salted eggshell container rotates with the tray, it will not slide out of the inner cavity of the limiting seat due to centrifugal force, thus preventing the salted eggshell container from shifting when the pressure plate is pressed down or when the salted eggshell falls.

[0017] 4. When the salted eggshell container is full of crushed salted eggshells, the ejection mechanism pushes the container outward, allowing it to pass over the lower limiting roller and slide down the ramp to the storage area. Personnel then remove the container containing the crushed salted eggshells and push a new container into the empty limiting seat. This method minimizes the risk of personnel getting too close to the pressure plate of the salted eggshell crushing device.

[0018] 5. The ejection mechanism uses a second hydraulic telescopic cylinder to drive the L-shaped swing arm to swing, which is simple in structure and saves space. One end of the L-shaped swing arm is rotatably connected to a rotating wheel. When the L-shaped swing arm swings, the wheel surface of the rotating wheel contacts the outer wall of the salted egg shell barrel, and the wheel surface can roll on the outer wall of the salted egg shell barrel, reducing resistance.

[0019] The present invention will become clearer from the following description and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which are used to explain the embodiments of the present invention. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Example

[0028] The specific embodiments of this utility model are as follows: Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a salted eggshell crushing mechanism includes a base 1, with a tray 2 rotatably mounted on top of the base 1. The base 1 and tray 2 are connected by a rotary drive mechanism 3. Two limiting seats 4, arranged around the center of rotation, are connected to the top surface of the tray 2. Salted eggshell containers 5 with openings at the top are placed on the limiting seats 4. A salted eggshell crushing device 6 is also provided above the base 1. When one salted eggshell container 5 rotates with the tray 2 to below the output end of the salted eggshell conveyor belt 10, the other salted eggshell container 5 rotates to below the salted eggshell crushing device 6. A handle 51 is provided on the side wall of the salted eggshell container 5.

[0029] In this embodiment, the rotary drive mechanism 3 includes a drive motor 31, a driving bevel gear 32, and a driven bevel gear 33. The drive motor 31 is mounted on the base 1, and its output shaft is connected to the driving bevel gear 32. The driving bevel gear 32 meshes with the driven bevel gear 33, and the driven bevel gear 33 is coaxially connected to the rotating shaft 34 of the tray 2. The rotating shaft 34 of the tray 2 is rotatably connected to the base 1.

[0030] A top frame 15 is connected to the base 1 via four columns 14. The salted eggshell crushing device 6 includes a first hydraulic telescopic cylinder 61 and a pressure plate 62. The fixed end of the first hydraulic telescopic cylinder 61 is mounted on the top frame 15, and the moving end of the first hydraulic telescopic cylinder 61 is connected to the pressure plate 62. When the first hydraulic telescopic cylinder 61 is working, the pressure plate 62 can extend downward into or move upward out of the inner cavity of the salted eggshell barrel 5 located directly below it, thereby completing the action of crushing the salted eggshells in the salted eggshell barrel 5.

[0031] Multiple support rollers 7 are provided between the base 1 and the tray 2, and each support roller 7 is arranged around the rotation center of the tray 2. The tray 2 is arranged horizontally, and the axis of each support roller 7 is arranged horizontally and rotatably connected to the base 1.

[0032] The top frame 15 is also connected to an eggshell guide groove 9, which is located below the output end of the salted eggshell conveyor belt 10. The horizontal cross-sectional dimension of the eggshell guide groove 9 gradually decreases from top to bottom. The upper width of the eggshell guide groove 9 is adapted to the width of the output end of the salted eggshell conveyor belt 10, and the lower cross-sectional dimension of the eggshell guide groove 9 is smaller than the top opening size of the salted eggshell barrel 5, ensuring that the salted eggshells falling from the output end of the salted eggshell conveyor belt 10 can accurately fall into the salted eggshell barrel 5 after being guided by the eggshell guide groove 9.

[0033] Each limiting seat 4 has a salted eggshell bucket inlet / outlet 41 on one edge away from the rotation center of the tray 2, and the other three edges of the limiting seat 4 have upwardly protruding blocking parts. A limiting roller 21 is rotatably connected to the tray 2. The axis of the limiting roller 21 is horizontally arranged and perpendicular to the radial direction of the tray 2. The limiting roller 21 is located below the salted eggshell bucket inlet / outlet 41 of each limiting seat 4, and the highest point of the limiting roller 21 is slightly higher than the bottom of the inner cavity of the limiting seat 4. When the salted eggshell bucket 5 is located inside the limiting seat 4, the blocking part of the limiting seat 4 and the limiting roller 21 together limit the salted eggshell bucket 5, preventing it from sliding outward due to centrifugal force as the tray 2 rotates. Figure 1 As shown.

[0034] The top frame 15 is equipped with a pushing mechanism 8 for pushing outward the salted eggshell barrels 5 located below the salted eggshell crushing device 6. In this embodiment, the pushing mechanism 8 includes an L-shaped swing arm 82, which is located between the two salted eggshell barrels 5. The middle part of the L-shaped swing arm 82 is rotatably connected to the top frame 15 via a first rotating shaft 83. One end of the L-shaped swing arm 82 is rotatably connected to a rotating wheel 85, and the other end of the L-shaped swing arm 82 is rotatably connected to one end of a second hydraulic telescopic cylinder 81 via a second rotating shaft 84. The other end of the second hydraulic telescopic cylinder 81 is rotatably connected to the top frame 15. The top frame 15 has a clearance hole 151 in the middle, through which the second hydraulic telescopic cylinder 81 passes without contacting the edge of the clearance hole 151. The L-shaped swing arm 82 is located between two limiting seats 4. The position of the L-shaped swing arm 82 ensures that when the two salted eggshell barrels 5 rotate with the tray 2, the L-shaped swing arm 82 will not contact the two salted eggshell barrels 5, thus avoiding interference.

[0035] The base 1 is also provided with a ramp 11, a salted egg shell storage area 12 and a blocking part 13 arranged in a horizontal direction. The upper end of the ramp 11 is located on one side of the tray 2 below the salted egg shell crushing device 6.

[0036] Before use, place the two salted eggshell containers 5 into the two limiting seats 4 respectively, with one container 5 positioned directly below the eggshell guide groove 9. The salted eggshell conveyor belt 10 runs, allowing the salted eggshells on it to fall, guided by the eggshell guide groove 9 into the lower container 5. When the container 5 is nearly full, the rotary drive mechanism 3 drives the tray 2 to rotate, causing the container 5 to rotate below the salted eggshell crushing device 6. The pressure plate 62 of the crushing device 6 moves down, crushing and squeezing the salted eggshells in the container 5, increasing the remaining space inside. Simultaneously, the other container 5 rotates with the tray 2 to below the eggshell guide groove 9 to continue catching the falling salted eggshells. The salted eggshell conveyor belt 10 does not need to be stopped during this process. After each batch of salted eggshells is collected, the two containers 5 rotate below the crushing device 6 to perform the crushing action. When one of the salted eggshell containers 5 is nearly full of crushed salted eggshells, the tray 2 rotates it to one side of the ramp 11. The second hydraulic telescopic cylinder 81 of the ejection mechanism 8 extends to drive the L-shaped swing arm 82 to swing clockwise (as shown in the image). Figure 2 As shown), the rotating wheel 85 at the lower end of the L-shaped swing arm 82 pushes the salted eggshell barrel 5 to the left. The lower left edge of the salted eggshell barrel 5 overcomes the resistance of the limiting roller 21 due to the thrust and passes over the limiting roller 21. The salted eggshell barrel 5 slides down the ramp 11 and stops in the horizontally set salted eggshell barrel storage area 12. The blocking part 13 can prevent the salted eggshell barrel 5 from sliding to the left and out of the salted eggshell barrel storage area 12. At this time, the personnel can remove the salted eggshell barrel 5 and put a new salted eggshell barrel 5 into the empty limiting seat 4.

[0037] The present invention has been described above in conjunction with the preferred embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed above, but should cover various modifications and equivalent combinations made in accordance with the essence of the present invention.
