Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of egg processing technology, specifically to an egg drying device. Background Technology

[0002] Eggs are rich in protein, fat, vitamins, and other nutrients, and are widely used in food processing, catering, and other industries. To meet the needs of preservation and further processing, egg drying technology removes moisture, extends shelf life, improves quality, and ensures a stable supply and diverse uses.

[0003] Utility model patent CN222090522U discloses an egg washing and drying device. This device includes a transmission component for moving the eggs and a drying chamber located at the top of the transmission component for drying the eggs. The transmission component has a support mechanism at its bottom, and a water collection component on its upper surface.

[0016] Preferably, pulleys are provided at both ends of the rotating shaft, and the rotating belt is sleeved on the outside of a plurality of pulleys located on the same side;

[0017] In this configuration, the pulley works in conjunction with the rotating belt to effectively transmit the power of the shaft to the rotating belt.

[0018] Preferably, springs are sleeved at the outer positions of both the top and bottom ends of the guide rod. The upper spring is compressed and located between the end plate and the upper pressing component, while the lower spring is compressed and located between the bottom of the mounting groove and the lower pressing component.

[0034] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0035] Please see Figures 1-6 An egg drying device includes a base frame 100, which serves as the basic support structure for the entire device and provides a stable installation platform for other components. The top of the base frame 100 has two side plates 110 fixed symmetrically on the left and right. A conveying assembly 120 and a dryer 200 are arranged between the two side plates 110. The conveying assembly 120 passes through the dryer 200. This layout allows the eggs to smoothly enter the dryer 200 for drying through the conveying assembly 120. The conveying assembly 120 includes a pair of toothed belts 121, a plurality of idlers 122 rotatably connected between the two toothed belts 121, a plurality of rotating columns 123 rotatably connected between two side plates 110, and a conveying motor 124 coaxially connected to one of the rotating columns 123. Gears 1231 are provided at both ends of the rotating column 123. The gears 1231 mesh with the toothed belts 121. The rotating column 123 is used to drive the toothed belts 121 to circulate. By starting the conveying motor 124, the conveying motor 124 drives the rotating column 123 to rotate. Through the meshing of the gears 1231 with the toothed belts 121, the toothed belts 121 can circulate, thereby driving the idlers 122 to rotate, thus realizing the conveying of eggs.

[0036] like Figure 3As shown, in this invention, a plurality of metal sleeves 1211 are embedded on the side end face of the toothed belt 121. The metal sleeves 1211 provide rotational support for the end of the idler roller 122, reducing the frictional resistance when the idler roller 122 rotates. The idler roller 122 is used to support the egg. The end of the idler roller 122 extends into the metal sleeve 1211 and is rotatably connected to the metal sleeve 1211. The surface of the idler roller 122 contacts the egg, smoothly lifting the egg and driving the egg to move when rotating. A retaining spring is sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the idler roller 122 near the metal sleeve 1211. The rotating column 123 is restricted between two corresponding metal sleeves 1211 by the retaining spring. The retaining spring plays a limiting role, preventing the rotating column 123 from displacing in the axial direction and ensuring the stability of the transmission between the rotating column 123, the toothed belt 121, and the idler roller 122.

[0037] like Figures 4-6 As shown, specifically, a flipping mechanism 300 is also provided between the two side plates 110. The flipping mechanism 300 includes two vertically symmetrically arranged pressing components 310, several guide rods 320 that vertically penetrate the left and right ends of the pressing components 310, and a flipping motor 330 installed on one of the pressing components 310. The pressing component 310 includes two horizontally symmetrically arranged movable plates 311, several rotating shafts 312 rotatably connected between the two movable plates 311, and two rotating belts 313 sleeved on the outside of the rotating shafts 312. The flipping motor 330 is installed on only one pressing component 310 because only one actively rotating rotating belt 313 is needed to drive the roller 122 to rotate. The other rotating belt 313 passively provides clamping force to maintain friction so that the roller 122 can be smoothly driven to rotate. This design can realize the egg flipping function, simplify the structure, and reduce costs.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the top of the side plate 110 is provided with a mounting groove 111, and an end plate 112 is installed on the top of the mounting groove 111. The movable plate 311 is fitted into the mounting groove 111, the bottom end of the guide rod 320 is embedded in the bottom of the mounting groove 111, and the top end of the guide rod 320 is embedded in the end plate 112. The movable plate 311 can move up and down along the guide rod 320 in the mounting groove 111. The guide rod 320 provides guidance for the up and down movement of the movable plate 311, ensuring that the movable plate 311 will not deviate during the movement.

[0039] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, pulleys 3121 are provided at both ends of the rotating shaft 312. A rotating belt 313 is sleeved on the outside of several pulleys 3121 located on the same side. The rotating belt 313 abuts against the roller 122. The flipping motor 330 is fixed to the outer end face of the movable plate 311. The output shaft end of the flipping motor 330 is coaxially connected to one of the rotating shafts 312. By starting the flipping motor 330, the rotating shaft 330 can drive the rotating shaft 312 to rotate. When the rotating shaft 312 rotates, it drives the rotating belt 313 to rotate in a cycle. This rotation of the rotating belt 313 can drive the roller 122 to rotate. The friction generated by the rotating belt 313 abutting against the roller 122 can drive the roller 122 to rotate, thereby realizing the flipping of the egg and ensuring that all parts of the egg are thoroughly dried.

[0040] like Figures 4-6 As shown, it is worth noting that springs 321 are fitted at the outer positions of both the top and bottom ends of the guide rod 320. The upper spring 321 is compressed between the end plate 112 and the upper pressing component 310, while the lower spring 321 is compressed between the bottom of the mounting groove 111 and the lower pressing component 310. The springs 321 provide elastic pressing force, so that the rotating belt 313 can always maintain a suitable pressing degree with the idler roller 122, ensuring the stability and reliability of the rotating belt 313 driving the idler roller 122 to rotate.

[0041] It is worth noting that the conveyor motor 124 and the reversing motor 330 involved in this utility model are both existing conventional technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

[0042] In this embodiment of the egg drying device, firstly, the conveyor motor 124 is started, which drives the rotating column 123 to rotate. Through the meshing of the gear 1231 and the toothed belt 121, the toothed belt 121 is made to circulate. At this time, the eggs are placed on the roller 122, and the eggs enter the dryer 200 as the roller 122 rotates. Then, the tilting motor 330 is started, which drives the rotating shaft 312 connected to it to rotate. The rotating shaft 312 causes the rotating belt 313 to circulate through the pulley 3121. One rotating belt 313 operates actively, while the other rotating belt 313 is passively supported by the elastic force of the spring 321, ensuring that the rotating belt 313 always abuts against the roller 122 and drives the roller 122 to rotate under the action of friction, thereby causing the eggs on the roller 122 to flip. Then, the dryer 200 dries the eggs. During the flipping process, all parts of the eggs are fully exposed inside the dryer 200, achieving uniform drying. Finally, the dried eggs are sent out of the device as the roller 122 rotates.

[0043] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
