Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smart door lock technology, and in particular to an egg wash spraying device for bread surface. Background Technology

[0002] Spraying egg wash on bread requires an egg wash spraying machine. This machine is highly automated, which can greatly improve production efficiency, reduce labor costs, and achieve high uniformity of spraying. By adjusting the nozzle parameters and transmission speed, the egg wash can be evenly applied to the bread surface, improving the appearance quality of the bread.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN212065522U, which discloses an automatic egg liquid spraying device. The device includes a conveyor table with multiple conveyor rollers rotatably mounted on its upper side. A conveying assembly for driving the rollers to rotate simultaneously is located between the conveyor table and the multiple conveyor rollers. A horizontal crossbar is positioned above the conveyor table, and multiple nozzles are mounted on the crossbar, each nozzle connected to a feeding assembly for supplying egg liquid. A horizontal receiving plate is positioned below the conveyor rollers, fixed to the inner side of the conveyor table. A through-feed trough is formed on the upper side of the receiving plate, and a collection box is located below the feeding trough on the lower side of the receiving plate. Two opposing scrapers are slidably mounted on the upper side of the receiving plate. The plates are located on opposite sides of the material feeding trough. A sliding component is provided between the receiving plate and the two scrapers to drive the two scrapers to move closer and further away simultaneously. This utility model has the effect of facilitating the recycling of egg liquid, reducing egg liquid waste, and saving processing costs. However, in the existing egg liquid spraying equipment, it is impossible to accurately control the amount of egg liquid sprayed. Too much egg liquid will cause sticking and waste. Equipped with a photoelectric sensor detection device, the egg liquid suction pump is started to start spraying when bread is detected below the nozzle, and spraying stops when there is no bread. However, the existing equipment has poor adaptability to bread of different shapes and sizes and cannot flexibly adjust the spraying mode, resulting in uneven egg liquid application and affecting the appearance and quality consistency of the finished bread. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an egg wash spraying device for bread surfaces, which aims to improve the problem that the existing equipment has poor adaptability to breads of different shapes and sizes, cannot flexibly adjust the spraying mode, resulting in uneven egg wash application and affecting the appearance and quality consistency of the finished bread.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a bread surface egg wash spraying device, comprising a fixed column, a crossbeam fixedly connected to the top of the fixed column, a motor installed on the right side inside the crossbeam, a worm gear fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, multiple worm wheels threadedly connected to the front side of the worm gear, a fixed plate installed at the bottom end of the worm wheels, a rotating shaft fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom end of the worm wheels, a crank fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft, a support rod fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fixed plate, a gear rotatably connected to the bottom right end of the crank, and a gear 2 meshing with the outer side of the gear 1. The bottom end of the second gear is rotatably connected to an installation block, the bottom end of the installation block is rotatably connected to a nozzle, the front and rear sides of the installation block are rotatably connected to a connecting shaft, a fixing ring is installed on the outer side of the connecting shaft, a conveyor is installed on the inner side of the fixed column, an indicator light is installed on the right side of the top wall of the crossbeam, protective plates are fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the fixed column, a cleaning chamber is installed on the rear side of the fixed column, multiple ultraviolet lamps are equidistantly installed on the inner wall of the cleaning chamber, a chamber plate is fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the cleaning chamber, and a cleaning mechanism is installed inside the cleaning chamber to clean the equipment loading bread and prevent egg liquid from sticking together.

[0006] The above technical solution involves a motor that rotates to drive a worm gear, which in turn drives a worm wheel to rotate, thereby rotating a spray nozzle. The spray nozzle can then rotate and spray in multiple directions, allowing for spraying of the bread at different angles. This compensates for the limitations of a single spray nozzle when dealing with breads of complex shapes and ensures even coverage of the egg wash.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0008] The cleaning mechanism includes a fixed plate 2, which is installed on the top wall of the cleaning chamber. Multiple fixed rods are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the bottom of the fixed plate 2. Multiple nozzles 2 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed rods. Multiple racks are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the left side of the top wall of the fixed plate 2. A connecting rod is installed on the left side of the racks. Ball bearings are installed on both sides of the connecting rod. Multiple gears 4 are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the outer wall of the connecting rod. A rotating shaft seat is installed at the front end of the connecting rod. A gear 3 is rotatably connected to the top of the rotating shaft seat. The gears 4 and 3 mesh with each other. A motor 2 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the gear 3.

[0009] The above technical solution involves conveying the support plate to the cleaning chamber via a conveyor roller. This chamber is used to clean the mounting plates and mounting slots on the support plate, which come into contact with the egg liquid, after the equipment is used, preventing egg liquid residue from clogging the equipment and causing bacterial growth.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] A support arm is installed on the upper right side of the fixed column, and a controller is installed at the end of the support arm.

[0012] The above technical solution serves as the equipment's control center, enabling automated control of the equipment through programming, such as controlling the start and stop of the egg liquid pump, the spraying time and frequency of the nozzles, and the speed of the conveyor belt.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] The top wall of the beam is fitted with wires, and a scanner is installed at the end of the wires.

[0015] The above technical solution works as follows: when bread is detected below the nozzle, the egg liquid suction pump is activated to spray the coating; when no bread is detected, the spraying stops.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] A water pipe is connected to the left end of the crossbeam, and an egg liquid storage tank is installed at the end of the water pipe.

[0018] The above technical solution is used to store egg liquid, which can meet the spraying requirements for a certain period of time. It is usually made of food-grade stainless steel and plastic materials to ensure the safety and hygiene of egg liquid storage.

[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] A conveyor roller is rotatably connected to the inner side of the conveyor platform, and a support plate is installed on the top of the conveyor roller.

[0021] The above technical solution is used to transport bread, allowing it to pass through the spraying area in sequence. It is usually driven by a motor, and the speed can be adjusted according to production needs.

[0022] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0023] A mounting plate is installed on the top of the support plate, and multiple mounting slots are equally spaced on the mounting plate.

[0024] The above technical solution involves using a mounting slot to hold the bread, allowing it to pass smoothly through the spraying area and facilitating the application of egg wash.

[0025] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0026] The bottom of the conveyor is fixedly connected to multiple bases.

[0027] The above technical solution utilizes robust metal materials, such as stainless steel. Stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for food processing environments. It prevents rust from contaminating food, supports all components of the equipment, and ensures the overall stability of the equipment, preventing tipping due to an unstable center of gravity.

[0028] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

Multiple worm wheels are threaded to the front side of the worm gear. The rotation of the motor drives the worm gear, which in turn drives the worm wheels to rotate, thereby driving the spray head to rotate. The spray head can stably rotate and spray in multiple directions, thus achieving spraying of bread at different angles. This compensates for the shortcomings of a single spray head when dealing with bread with complex shapes, ensuring even coverage of the egg wash.

[0030] 2. In this utility model, the cleaning mechanism includes a second fixing plate, which is installed on the top wall of the cleaning chamber. Multiple fixing rods are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the bottom of the second fixing plate, and multiple nozzles are fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing rods.
