Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of egg processing technology, and in particular to a device for cleaning dirt from the surface of eggs. Background Technology
[0002] Large-scale chicken farms can produce thousands or even tens of thousands of eggs per day. Workers send the freshly collected eggs to a cleaning device via a conveyor belt. The device automatically completes processes such as rinsing, brushing to remove dirt, and air drying, quickly removing feces, feathers, and other debris from the surface of the eggs in batches. It can process hundreds of eggs per hour, ensuring that the eggs are clean and sterile before entering the storage or sales process, which greatly improves production efficiency and reduces manual cleaning costs.
[0003] In some existing egg surface cleaning devices, mechanical brushing and water rinsing work together. The device is equipped with multiple rotating brushes. Eggs are conveyed into the cleaning area in an orderly manner. The brushes rotate at high speed driven by a motor, gently brushing the egg surface and loosening the dirt. At the same time, the nozzles spray high-pressure water onto the eggs to wash away the brushed dirt.
[0004] However, in actual use, without large-scale repeated drying, hot air cannot evenly cover the egg surface, resulting in slow evaporation of moisture in some areas and localized dampness in the eggshell. This not only affects the appearance of the egg but also provides a breeding ground for bacteria, which is not conducive to the storage and sale of eggs. In response to the above problems, an egg surface dirt cleaning device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0012] The limiting component includes a limiting rod, which is externally fixedly connected to the external through hole of the supporting top plate, and the internal part of the drying fan is slidably connected to the external part of the limiting rod.
[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0014] The buffer protection mechanism includes two extension plates, with a flipping assembly rotatably connected to the adjacent sides of the two extension plates.

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0018] The cleaning mechanism includes a water storage tank, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the top of the supporting top plate. An inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the water storage tank. Pump bodies are fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the water storage tank. An outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the output end of the pump body. A cleaning plate is fixedly connected to the other end of the outlet pipe. A brush is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cleaning plate. A reset assembly is fixedly connected to the top of the cleaning plate.

[0023] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0024] 1. In this utility model, a drive motor is used to drive an eccentric wheel to rotate via a drive rod. The eccentric wheel then drives a rotating plate to rotate, which in turn drives a sliding plate to slide on the top of the supporting plate via a follower plate. This allows the sliding plate to drive a connecting frame to slide, enabling the drying fan fixed at the rear of the connecting frame to slide outside the limiting rod. This allows for large-scale drying of the cleaned eggs. The large-scale reciprocating motion ensures that hot air is evenly distributed to all parts of the eggs, preventing localized overheating or undercooling.
[0025] 2. In this utility model, the egg falls into the interior of the conveyor placement plate via a conveyor belt. At this moment, the weight of the egg causes the conveyor placement plate to rotate around the connecting shaft, allowing the egg to land stably inside the rubber protective plate. The egg can then press the sliding rod through the rubber protective plate, causing the sliding rod to slide inside the placement shell. This causes the return spring outside the sliding rod to deform, further cushioning and protecting the egg. Attached Figure Description

[0033] 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.
[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 3This utility model provides an embodiment of an egg surface dirt cleaning device, comprising two mounting plates 1, with a supporting top plate 2 fixedly connected to the top of the two mounting plates 1. The surface of the supporting top plate 2 is flattened and mainly bears the function of supporting important components such as the cleaning mechanism, ensuring the structural stability of the device during operation. A reciprocating drying mechanism is fixedly connected to the right front side of the mounting plate 1, and a buffer protection mechanism is fixedly connected to the right side of the mounting plate 1. A cleaning mechanism is fixedly connected to the left top of the supporting top plate 2. The cleaning mechanism includes a water storage tank 33. The bottom of the water storage tank 33 is firmly fixed to the top of the supporting top plate 2 by welding to ensure stable installation and prevent shaking or displacement during device operation. The bottom of the water storage tank 33 is fixedly connected to the top of the supporting top plate 2. A water inlet pipe 29 is fixedly connected to the top of the water storage tank 33. Pump bodies 23 are fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the water storage tank 33. The pump bodies 23 are small corrosion-resistant centrifugal pumps that can provide sufficient water pressure to extract water from the water storage tank 33 and transport it to the cleaning plate 27.
[0035] A water outlet pipe 24 is fixedly connected to the output end of the pump body 23. The other end of the water outlet pipe 24 is connected to the cleaning plate 27 via a quick connector, accurately delivering the water pumped by the pump body 23 to the cleaning plate 27 to provide a water source for cleaning the egg surface. The other end of the water outlet pipe 24 is fixedly connected to the cleaning plate 27. A brush 28 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cleaning plate 27. The brush 28 can effectively remove dirt from the egg surface without damaging the eggshell. The density of the brush 28 is designed according to the cleaning effect requirements to ensure that it can fully cover the egg surface and achieve efficient cleaning. A reset assembly is fixedly connected to the top of the cleaning plate 27. The reset assembly includes a telescopic rod 25. The telescopic rod 25 is fixedly connected to the top of the cleaning plate 27. A tension spring 2 is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod 25. 6. One end of the tension spring 26 is fixedly connected to the outer top of the cleaning plate 27, and the other end of the tension spring 26 is fixedly connected to the outer bottom of the supporting top plate 2. When the cleaning plate 27 moves upward due to the reaction force of the egg surface during the cleaning process, the telescopic rod 25 retracts, the tension spring 26 is stretched, and elastic potential energy is stored. When the reaction force disappears, the tension spring 26 releases the elastic potential energy, pushes the telescopic rod 25 to extend, and makes the cleaning plate 27 return to the initial position, ensuring that the brush 28 always maintains a suitable contact pressure with the egg surface, so as to achieve stable and efficient cleaning operation. The bottom of the mounting plate 1 is fixedly connected to the water collection tank 32, and the top of the water collection tank 32 is provided with a drain outlet, which is connected to the drain pipe of the cleaning device to ensure that the sewage can flow smoothly into the water collection tank 32.
[0036] The buffer protection mechanism includes two extension plates 14, with a flipping assembly rotatably connected to the adjacent sides of the two extension plates 14. The flipping assembly includes a connecting shaft 15, the length of which is slightly greater than the distance between the two extension plates 14, ensuring that both ends of the connecting shaft 15 can be firmly embedded in the pre-set mounting holes of the extension plates 14 for a stable connection. The connecting shaft 15 is externally fixedly connected to the adjacent sides of the two extension plates 14, and a transfer placement plate 16 is fixedly connected to the outer perimeter of the connecting shaft 15. The surface of the transfer placement plate 16 is specially treated to have a certain friction, which can effectively prevent the eggs placed on it from slipping. The transfer placement plate 16 can rotate freely around the connecting shaft 15. During the operation of the device, it is used for temporary placement and transfer of eggs, and can also provide a buffering effect through rotation when subjected to collisions. The bottom right side of the mounting plate 1 is fixed. A collection box 17 is connected to collect eggs that need to be centrally processed. Multiple placement shells 19 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the collection box 17. A limit plate 20 is slidably connected inside the placement shell 19. A sliding rod 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the limit plate 20. The surface of the sliding rod 21 is polished to ensure smooth sliding inside the placement shell 19. A rubber protective plate 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding rod 21. A return spring 22 is sleeved on the outside of the sliding rod 21. When an egg is placed on the rubber protective plate 18 or is impacted by an external force, the rubber protective plate 18 drives the sliding rod 21 and the limit plate 20 to move downward, compressing the return spring 22. When the external force disappears, the return spring 22 releases its elastic potential energy, pushing the limit plate 20, the sliding rod 21 and the rubber protective plate 18 to return to their original positions, always providing stable buffer protection for the egg.
[0037] Reference Figures 3 to 5 The reciprocating drying mechanism includes a support plate 3, which is externally fixedly connected to the front side of the mounting plate 1. A motor 4 is fixedly connected inside the support plate 3. The motor 4 is an AC motor, and its power is determined according to the working efficiency and load requirements of the drying mechanism. A drive rod 5 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the motor 4. The drive rod 5 can rotate at high speed and stably to provide continuous power to the eccentric wheel 6. An eccentric wheel 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the drive rod 5. When the drive rod 5 rotates, the eccentric wheel 6 rotates accordingly. Utilizing its eccentric characteristics, the rotational motion is converted into the reciprocating oscillation of the rotating plate 7. The rotating plate 7 is rotatably connected to the outside of the eccentric wheel 6. Driven by the eccentric wheel 6, the rotating plate 7 oscillates back and forth around the connection point with the eccentric wheel 6, converting the circular motion of the eccentric wheel 6 into linear reciprocating motion. A follower plate 8 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating plate 7. Driven by the rotating plate 7, the follower plate 8 moves accordingly with the oscillation of the rotating plate 7, playing the role of transmitting motion and force, and accurately transmitting the motion of the rotating plate 7 to the sliding plate 9.
[0038] A sliding plate 9 is rotatably connected to the outside of the follower plate 8. A mounting assembly is fixedly connected to the other end of the sliding plate 9. The mounting assembly includes a connecting frame 10, which provides a mounting base for the drying fan 12, ensuring that the drying fan 12 can be stably mounted on the sliding plate 9 and move with it. The connecting frame 10 is fixedly connected to the outside front of the sliding plate 9. Multiple connecting rods 11 are fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting frame 10. The outside of the connecting rods 11 is tightly connected to the outer frame of the drying fan 12, securely mounting the drying fan 12 onto the connecting frame 10. The outside of the connecting rods 11 is connected to the outside of the drying fan 12. The drying fan 12 is fixedly connected to the outside of the mounting assembly. The air outlet of the drying fan 12 is specially designed in a trumpet shape to expand the air outlet area, improve drying efficiency, and ensure the egg surface... The moisture can evaporate quickly. The internal support of the top plate 2 is fixedly connected to a limiting component, including a limiting rod 13. The function of the limiting rod 13 is to limit and guide the movement of the drying fan 12, ensuring that the drying fan 12 maintains a stable running trajectory during reciprocating movement, avoiding shaking or deviation, and ensuring the uniformity and stability of the drying effect. The external of the limiting rod 13 is fixedly connected to the external through hole of the support top plate 2. The internal of the drying fan 12 is slidably connected to the external of the limiting rod 13. The right side of the front of the mounting plate 1 is fixedly connected to a motor 30. Driven by the motor 30, the conveyor belt 31 rotates at a uniform speed, conveying the cleaned eggs to the bottom of the drying fan 12 in sequence for drying treatment, completing the drying process of the entire egg surface dirt cleaning device. The drive end of the motor 30 is fixedly connected to the conveyor belt 31.
[0039] Working principle: When the position of the drying fan 12 is adjusted reciprocally, the drive motor 4 drives the eccentric wheel 6 to rotate via the drive rod 5. The eccentric wheel 6 drives the rotating plate 7 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating plate 7 drives the sliding plate 9 to slide on the top of the supporting top plate 2 via the follower plate 8. The sliding plate 9 then drives the connecting frame 10 to slide, allowing the drying fan 12 fixed at the rear of the connecting frame 10 to slide outside the limiting rod 13, thereby drying the cleaned eggs over a large area.
[0040] When collecting and protecting the dried eggs, the eggs fall into the interior of the conveyor placement plate 16 via the conveyor belt 31. At this moment, the weight of the eggs causes the conveyor placement plate 16 to rotate around the connecting shaft 15, allowing the eggs to land stably inside the rubber protective plate 18. The eggs can then press against the sliding rod 21 through the rubber protective plate 18, causing the sliding rod 21 to slide inside the placement shell 19. This causes the return spring 22 outside the sliding rod 21 to deform, further cushioning and protecting the eggs.
[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
