Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural automation equipment technology, and in particular to an automated egg disinfection and traying device. Background Technology

[0002] In the poultry egg processing industry, post-laying processing of eggs is a crucial step affecting the product's hygiene level and commercial value. In traditional operations, workers manually complete the following processes: first, the eggshell surface is rinsed with a handheld high-pressure water gun. This method is prone to damage to thin-shelled eggs due to improper water pressure control (industry statistics show that the breakage rate for manual washing is generally higher than 2%); then, the eggs are wiped with cotton cloth or air-dried, a process that takes 30-60 minutes, and residual moisture easily breeds pathogenic microorganisms such as Salmonella; the sorting process relies on visual inspection for defects such as cracks and blood spots, which is inefficient and carries a certain degree of missed detection. With rising labor costs and increasingly stringent food safety regulations, this model is no longer sufficient to meet the demands of modern large-scale poultry farms.

[0003] While existing automated equipment has partially replaced manual labor, significant technical shortcomings remain. Cleaning modules often employ a unidirectional, fixed spray design, which fails to effectively remove organic contaminants such as feces and feathers adhering to the bottom of the eggshell and inside the pores. Drying systems are frequently equipped with a single-sided blower, resulting in different drying rates on the windward and leeward sides of the eggs. Residual moisture can easily lead to mold growth in the egg trays after loading. Loading machines often use rigid grippers for positioning; the mechanical stress caused by differences in the ellipticity of the eggs during gripping can increase the breakage rate, and there are also mismatches with the egg tray's holes.

[0004] In addition, most equipment on the market adopts a decentralized layout of cleaning-drying-inspection-packing, which requires multiple grabbing and transfer between each stage. Each additional transfer action will increase the overall probability of breakage, resulting in a decrease in the number of finished egg products leaving the factory.

[0005] This invention provides an adaptive integrated processing device that enables seamless transition of eggs from primary agricultural products to pre-packaged products, representing a key technological breakthrough in improving the automation level of the poultry egg processing industry and solving problems such as incomplete cleaning, uneven drying, and large traying errors in existing automated egg processing equipment. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automated egg sterilization and traying device. A limiting frame conveys and cleans the eggs, while an electric push rod equipped with a probe precisely grabs the eggs from the tray and transfers them to a movable chamber. This chamber then rotates in conjunction with the pivots of the conveyor and transmission shafts. Simultaneously, brushes on the movable chamber clean the surface of the eggs. After the sterilization process, ultraviolet sterilization, drying, and transfer are performed. A rotary drive assembly and a friction transmission system work together to separate the eggs and place them into shock-absorbing slots via a conveyor rod, preventing them from bumping. The sterilized eggs are then dried under ultraviolet light, and finally, the drive rod loads them into a holding tray. This invention's dynamic rotary sterilization mechanism solves the problems of incomplete cleaning, uneven drying, and large traying errors found in existing automated egg equipment.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, an automated egg sterilization and tray-loading device is provided, comprising: a fixed platform, a V-shaped water collection frame, and a guide belt. A conveyor shaft and a conveyor belt are rotatably mounted on both sides of the fixed platform. A conveyor belt is fitted inside the conveyor shaft and conveyor belt and rotatably connected to a movable chamber. A limiting frame is provided on one side of the conveyor shaft. A shock-absorbing baffle is provided on one side of the conveyor shaft. A conveyor rod is provided at the upper end of the shock-absorbing baffle. Segmentable shock-absorbing slots are provided at intervals below the shock-absorbing baffle. A drive rod is connected to the bottom end of the shock-absorbing baffle. A transmission circulation mechanism is provided between the conveyor rod and the drive rod via a chain. An ultraviolet sterilization lamp is installed at the upper end of the shock-absorbing baffle. The V-shaped water collection frame is placed below the fixed platform, and multiple spray pipes are provided inside the V-shaped water collection frame. A guide belt is provided below the V-shaped water collection frame, and a tray is provided above the guide belt. The lower end of the shock-absorbing baffle extends into the tray.

[0008] According to the automated egg sterilization and traying equipment, the conveyor rod includes a drive shaft and a drive motor, the drive shaft is mounted on the conveyor shaft, and the drive motor is mounted on the outer end of the conveyor rod.

[0009] According to the automated egg sterilization and plating equipment, the movable chamber is equipped with a rotating brush that is connected by a rolling mechanism.

[0010] According to the automated egg disinfection and plating equipment, the V-shaped water collection frame has an internal cavity, and a disinfectant inlet pipe is provided on one side of the V-shaped water collection frame. The multiple spray pipes are interconnected and connected to the disinfectant inlet pipe. A sewage pipe is provided at the bottom of the V-shaped water collection frame.

[0011] According to the automated egg disinfection and plating equipment, the ultraviolet disinfection lamp is located inside the hot air blower base, and the air outlet of the hot air blower base is fixed to the outside of the ultraviolet disinfection lamp.

[0012] According to the automated egg sterilization and tray-loading equipment, the guide belt is equipped with multiple guide blocks, and the upper end of the tray is provided with multiple guide grooves; the shock-absorbing baffle is provided with adjustment holes, and the shock-absorbing slot is slidably arranged inside, with the shock-absorbing baffle corresponding to the tray; the conveyor shaft is threadedly connected to an electric push rod, and an adjustment motor is connected to the outer end of the conveyor shaft.

[0013] According to the automated egg sterilization and plating equipment, the guide belt is used to transport the plating trays to the conveyor belt for collection.

[0014] According to the automated egg disinfection and plating equipment, a protective box is installed on the upper end of the fixed platform. The protective box is detachable, and a tray insertion slot is provided on the side end face of the protective box.

[0015] 1. This utility model achieves fully automated operation of the egg sterilization process through integrated design. Eggs are conveyed and cleaned by a limiting frame. An electric push rod equipped with a probe accurately grabs eggs from the tray and transfers them to a movable chamber. The chamber then rotates in conjunction with the pivot of the conveyor shaft and transmission shaft. Simultaneously, brushes on the movable chamber clean the surface of the eggs, while spray nozzles below rinse them with disinfectant. This process ensures that the eggs undergo both surface cleaning and disinfectant rinsing for double sterilization. This utility model achieves a fully automated closed-loop operation from material transfer to sterilization through integrated automation. It not only significantly improves operational efficiency and reduces manual intervention but also effectively avoids the risk of egg breakage associated with traditional manual processing through non-contact operation, demonstrating significant process optimization value.

[0016] 2. After the disinfection process, this invention performs ultraviolet sterilization, drying, and transfer operations. It innovatively introduces a dynamic rotational disinfection mechanism. Through the coordinated operation of the rotational drive component and the friction transmission system, the conveyor rod separates the eggs and places them into shock-absorbing slots to prevent them from bumping. The disinfected eggs are then dried under ultraviolet light, and the drive rod returns the eggs to their original tray. During the ultraviolet irradiation section, dynamic exposure ensures that all areas of the egg surface receive the preset radiation dose. Through the coupling effect of the ultraviolet lamp and the hot air convection field, the residual disinfectant film on the eggshell surface can be dried and sterilized at a specific rotational speed. The integrated rotational processing optimizes the sterilization coverage of the complex curved surface of the poultry egg, while motion control achieves precise matching between drying and tray loading.

[0027] Reference Figure 1-5This utility model provides an automated egg sterilization and traying device, which includes: a fixed platform 1, a V-shaped water collection frame 7, and a guide belt 14. A conveyor shaft 101 and a conveyor belt 102 are rotatably mounted on both sides of the fixed platform 1. A conveyor belt is fitted inside the conveyor shaft 101 and the conveyor shaft 102, and is rotatably connected to a movable chamber 2. A rotating brush with rolling connection is installed inside the movable chamber 2. A limiting frame 3 is provided on one side of the conveyor shaft 101; a shock-absorbing baffle 4 is provided on one side of the conveyor shaft 102. A conveyor rod 20 is provided at the upper end of the shock-absorbing baffle 4. The conveyor rod 20 includes a drive shaft and a drive motor. The drive shaft is mounted on the conveyor shaft 101, and the drive motor is mounted on the outer end of the conveyor rod 20. The shock-absorbing baffle 4 is provided with segmented shock-absorbing slots 6 at intervals below it. The bottom end of the shock-absorbing baffle 4 is connected to the drive rod 5. A transmission circulation mechanism is provided between the conveyor rod 20 and the drive rod 5 via a chain. An ultraviolet disinfection lamp 11 is installed at the upper end of the shock-absorbing baffle 4. The ultraviolet disinfection lamp 11 is located inside the hot air blower base 12, and the air outlet of the hot air blower base 12 is fixed to the outside of the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 11. When the poultry eggs are sprayed with disinfectant through the disinfectant spray pipe along the conveyor belt, the rotational motion causes the surface brushes to fully contact the disinfectant. Subsequently, in the ultraviolet irradiation section, the dynamic exposure mechanism ensures that all areas of the egg surface reach the preset radiation dose, and the disinfection effect is achieved through drying.

[0028] A V-shaped water collection frame 7 is placed below the fixed platform 1. Multiple spray pipes 8 are located inside the V-shaped water collection frame 7. The V-shaped water collection frame 7 has an internal cavity, and a disinfectant inlet pipe 9 is located on one side. The multiple spray pipes 8 are interconnected and connected to the disinfectant inlet pipe 9. A sewage pipe 10 is located at the bottom of the V-shaped water collection frame 7. A guide belt 14 is located below the V-shaped water collection frame 7, and a collection tray 15 is located above the guide belt 14. The lower end of a shock-absorbing baffle 4 extends into the collection tray 15. The guide belt 14 is rotatably connected via a conveyor rail 13. Multiple guide blocks are installed on the guide belt 14, and multiple guide grooves are opened at the upper end of the collection tray 15. The shock-absorbing baffle 4 has adjustment holes and internally sliding shock-absorbing slots 6, corresponding to those on the collection tray 15. A conveyor shaft 101 is threadedly connected to an electric push rod 19, and an adjustment motor is connected to the outer end of the conveyor shaft 101. The guide belt 14 is used to convey the collection tray 15 to the conveyor belt 16 for collection. By introducing a dynamic rotational disinfection mechanism, the rotational drive component and the friction transmission system are designed to work together. A protective box 17 is installed on the upper end of the fixed platform 1. The protective box 17 is detachable, and a tray insertion slot 18 is provided on the side end face of the protective box 17.

[0029] Working Principle: During operation, a certain number of eggs are placed into the limiting frame 3. A specially designed transmission roller and conveyor shaft 101, driven by an adjustable motor, generate controllable frictional torque to push the electric push rod 19. The electric push rod 19, equipped with a probe, precisely grabs the eggs from the tray and transfers them to the movable chamber 2. This causes the eggs on the conveying platform to rotate at a uniform speed. Under the dual cleaning of the brushes rotating in the movable chamber 2 and the disinfectant spraying from the bottom nozzle 8, the eggs then rotate through the pivots of the movable chamber 2, conveyor shaft 101, and conveyor shaft 102, sequentially undergoing surface cleaning and disinfectant rinsing for double sterilization. This integrated automation achieves a fully automated closed-loop operation from material transfer to sterilization, significantly improving operational efficiency, reducing manual intervention, and effectively avoiding the risk of egg breakage associated with traditional manual processing through non-contact operation. After being sprayed and brushed, the eggs enter the shock-absorbing baffle 4 via the conveyor shaft 102. The guide belt 14 is equipped with multiple guide blocks, and the upper end of the holding tray 15 has multiple guide grooves. The shock-absorbing baffle 4 has adjustment holes and internally sliding shock-absorbing slots 6, allowing eggs to be placed in the appropriate slot size. The conveyor rod 20 adjusts the drive motor, causing the eggs to be illuminated during transport and dried with hot air, achieving double sterilization. The shock-absorbing baffle 4 corresponds to the holding tray 15, and the holding tray 15 is placed in the tray placement slot 18 according to the pre-positioned guide blocks. The protective box 17 achieves dust prevention and sterilization. The upper end of the holding tray 15 has multiple guide grooves, allowing eggs pushed by the shock-absorbing baffle 4 to be placed into the holding tray 15. The holding tray 15 is then transported by the guide belt 14 via the conveyor rail 13 to the conveyor belt 16 for collection. Simultaneously, motion control achieves precise matching between drying and tray loading.
