[0023] 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.

[0024] Traditional egg washing equipment mainly uses water washing, relying on water flow to remove non-sticky dirt such as mud and dust from the surface of the eggs. However, the surface of the eggs often has stubborn stains such as chicken excrement and feathers adhering to it. Due to their strong adhesion, it is difficult to completely remove them by simply rinsing with water. These excrement contain a large number of bacteria and harmful substances, which not only affect the appearance of the eggs, but may also lead to hygiene and safety hazards in the washed eggs.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] To address the deficiencies in the use of the aforementioned cleaning device, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figures 1-4This utility model provides an automated egg washing device capable of thoroughly cleaning stubborn stains from eggs. The washing device uses a base 1 as its foundation. A transfer mechanism 2 and a washing mechanism 3 are mounted on the top of the base 1. The transfer mechanism 2 includes a support column 21 fixedly mounted on the top of the base 1. A rotating ring 22 is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the support column 21, and a rotating component 23 is also provided on the support column 21 to drive the rotating ring 22. Multiple circumferentially evenly distributed washing trays 24 are fixedly mounted on the rotating ring 22. Multiple circumferentially evenly distributed egg grooves 25 are formed on the washing trays 24. Eggs are placed in the egg grooves 25, and driving the rotating component 23 drives the rotating ring 22 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating ring 22 transports the washing trays 24 one by one to the washing mechanism 3, where the washing mechanism 3 cleans the eggs on the washing trays 24. To achieve the desired cleaning mechanism 3... To improve the cleaning effect on eggs, the cleaning mechanism 3 is configured as a vertical plate 31 fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. Two sets of mirror-distributed brushing components 32 are arranged on one side of the vertical plate 31. Each brushing component 32 includes a lifting plate 321 that slides vertically inside the vertical plate 31. An adjusting component 322 is provided inside the brushing component 32 to drive the two lifting plates 321 to slide relative to each other. Multiple trumpet-shaped brushes 323 are rotatably mounted on the lifting plates 321, each brush 323 corresponding to multiple egg trays 25. A driving component 324 is provided on the lifting plates 321 to drive the multiple brushes 323 to rotate synchronously. When an egg on the cleaning tray 24 is rotated between the two sets of lifting plates 321, the adjustment... The component 322 drives two lifting plates 321 to move closer together. The upper and lower sets of brushes 323 can wrap around the upper and lower halves of the egg. Then, the drive component 324 drives multiple brushes 323 to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the brushes 323 can scrub the egg and remove stubborn stains. After cleaning, the rotating component 23 continues to drive the cleaning plate 24 to rotate. The staff can take out the clean eggs from the cleaning plate 24. At the same time, the eggs on the next set of cleaning plates 24 are rotated to the cleaning mechanism 3 for cleaning. This not only realizes the automated cleaning operation, but also optimizes the cleaning effect of the eggs, thoroughly removes excrement, feathers and other stubborn stains from the eggs, and improves the safety and hygiene of the eggs.

[0027] To achieve the effect of automatically washing eggs by driving multiple brushes 323 synchronously rotating, the aforementioned drive component 324 is provided with a gear 3241 rotatably mounted on the shaft of the lifting plate 321. The ends of the brushes 323 pass through the lifting plate 321 and are fixedly fitted with a gear 3242. The gear 3242 meshes with the gear 3241. A motor 3243 is fixedly mounted on the end of the lifting plate 321. The output end of the motor 3243 and the shaft of the gear 3241 are both fixedly connected to a synchronous pulley 3244. A synchronous belt 3245 is installed on the outside of the two synchronous pulleys 3244. The drive motor 3243 can drive the gear 3241 to rotate through the two synchronous pulleys 3244 and the synchronous belt 3245. The rotation of the gear 3241 drives the gear 3242 to rotate. The synchronous rotation of multiple gears 3242 can drive multiple brushes 323 to rotate synchronously, thus realizing the automatic washing of multiple eggs.

[0028] To prevent uneven force on the egg when the brush 323 rotates, the output shafts of the two motors 3243 rotate in opposite directions. This means that the upper and lower sets of brushes 323 also rotate in opposite directions. The reverse rotation causes the force exerted by the brushes 323 on the egg to cancel each other out, which can prevent the egg from cracking due to uneven force caused by unidirectional rotation and ensure the stability of the egg during the washing process.

[0029] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the adjusting component 322 includes a bidirectional screw 3221 rotatably mounted inside the upright plate 31. The threads on the outer surface of the bidirectional screw 3221 are two sections with opposite directions of rotation. Two lifting discs 321 are respectively threaded to the two ends of the bidirectional screw 3221. A second motor 3222 that acts on the bidirectional screw 3221 is installed inside the upright plate 31. The second motor 3222 can drive the bidirectional screw 3221 to rotate. The rotation of the bidirectional screw 3221 causes the two lifting discs 321 to slide relative to each other, which facilitates the control of the opening and closing of the two lifting discs 321.

[0030] To achieve automatic operation of the washing disc 24, a suspension rod 231 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the support column 21. A motor 232 is fixedly installed at the end of the suspension rod 231. A spur gear 233 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 232. A gear ring 234 that meshes with the spur gear 233 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the rotating ring 22. The motor 232 drives the spur gear 233 to rotate intermittently. The rotation of the spur gear 233 drives the rotating ring 22 to rotate through the gear ring 234, which can realize the automatic operation of the eggs, saving time and effort.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] After the brush 323 brushes away the stains on the eggs, it is necessary to rinse the stains off the eggs and the lifting plate 321. Both ends of the upright plate 31 are fixedly installed with inclined plates 33. Water tanks 34 and spray panels 35 are installed on both sides of the inclined plates 33 respectively. The water tanks 34 and spray panels 35 are connected by water pipes. A water pump is installed in the water tanks 34. Driving the water pump can transport the water in the water tanks 34 to the spray panels 35 and spray it out to rinse the eggs.

[0033] The control method of this utility model is automatic control through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the field. Since this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.
