Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tunnel-type egg washing equipment, and in particular to a tunnel-type egg washing device. Background Technology
[0002] The tunnel-type egg washing device is a continuous automated equipment used for the industrial cleaning and processing of poultry eggs, with a core structure resembling a tunnel. During operation, poultry eggs enter the "tunnel" at a uniform speed via a conveyor belt, successively passing through high-pressure spraying (with clean water or a special egg cleaning agent), brush roller wiping, and other cleaning stages to remove dirt from the eggshell surface. This device enables automated cleaning of poultry eggs, significantly improving cleaning efficiency and cleanliness, reducing labor costs, and is widely used in large-scale egg processing plants, poultry farming cooperatives, and other scenarios. It is one of the key pieces of equipment in the modern egg deep processing industry chain.
[0003] In related technologies, existing equipment cleaning components are mostly designed with a single rotation speed or unidirectional rotation. They can only achieve simple rinsing or light wiping of stubborn stains such as fecal residue and dried egg liquid on the eggshell surface. They lack differentiated friction force, and the adhesion between the stains and the eggshell surface is not effectively destroyed, resulting in obvious stains remaining after cleaning. This cannot meet the standard requirements for eggshell cleanliness in food processing, requiring subsequent manual secondary cleaning, which increases operating costs. In addition, in existing equipment, eggs are mostly in a fixed static or unidirectional conveying state. The cleaning nozzles and cleaning components can only act on the local area facing the egg. The sides, bottoms, and other parts of the egg that do not directly contact the cleaning medium are prone to forming cleaning blind spots.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a tunnel-type egg washing device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Furthermore, by setting up a stepper motor to drive the rubber roller to rotate clockwise, the tangential force is used to make the egg rotate and turn over around its own axis, which can eliminate cleaning blind spots and ensure that the eggshell is clean overall.

[0034] In this embodiment, a buffer platform 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the inclined conveyor 1, and an anti-slip rubber pad is fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the buffer platform 5 to slow down the speed of the eggs rolling down.
[0035] In this embodiment, a collection chamber 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the buffer platform 5, and a buffer silicone pad is fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the collection chamber 6. The buffer silicone pad can cushion the eggs and prevent them from being bumped and broken when they enter the collection chamber 6.
[0036] In this embodiment, a water tank 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the cleaning chamber 2, and a water pump is fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the water tank 7 to facilitate the storage of water for cleaning through the water tank 7.
[0037] In this embodiment, a cleaning pipe network 8 is fixedly installed on the top inner wall of the cleaning chamber 2. The water inlet of the cleaning pipe network 8 extends into the water tank 7 and is fixedly connected to the output end of the water pump, so that the water in the water tank 7 can be transported to the cleaning pipe network 8 by the water pump.
[0038] In this embodiment, multiple cleaning nozzles 9 are fixedly installed on the outside of the cleaning pipe network 8, so that water can be sprayed out through the cleaning nozzles 9 to clean the eggs.
[0039] In this embodiment, a rubber roller 11 is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the cleaning chamber 2. A motor slot is provided inside the cleaning chamber 2. A stepper motor 10 is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the motor slot. The output shaft of the stepper motor 10 is fixedly connected to the rubber roller 11, so that the rubber roller 11 can be driven to rotate by the stepper motor 10, thereby assisting in turning the egg over.
[0040] In this embodiment, a drive chamber is provided inside the drive housing 12. A drive shaft 16 is fixedly installed on one end of each of the two cleaning shafts 13 near the drive housing 12. Both drive shafts 16 extend into the drive chamber. A slow wheel 19 and a fast wheel 21 are respectively fixedly sleeved on the two drive shafts 16. The diameter of the slow wheel 19 is larger than that of the fast wheel 21, so the rotational speed of the slow wheel 19 is lower than that of the fast wheel 21.
[0041] In this embodiment, a double-row drive wheel 18 is rotatably mounted on one inner wall of the drive chamber. The double-row drive wheel 18 and the slow wheel 19 are connected by the same transmission belt 20. The double-row drive wheel 18 and the fast wheel 21 are connected by the same cross belt 22. A servo motor 17 is fixedly mounted on the top inner wall of the drive chamber. The output shaft of the servo motor 17 is fixedly connected to the double-row drive wheel 18, so that the double-row drive wheel 18 can be rotated by the servo motor 17.
[0042] In this embodiment, a cleaning sleeve 14 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of each of the two cleaning shafts 13, and multiple brushes 15 are fixedly installed on the outer side of each of the two cleaning sleeves 14, so that the cleaning sleeves 14 can drive the multiple brushes 15 to scrub the surface of the egg.
[0043] Working Principle: When cleaning eggs, workers place the eggs on the storage seat 4, then start the inclined conveyor belt 3. The inclined conveyor belt 3 carries the storage seat 4 and the eggs into the cleaning chamber 2. At this time, the water pump in the water tank 7 delivers water through the cleaning pipe network 8 to multiple cleaning nozzles 9, which then spray out to clean the eggs. Simultaneously, the servo motor 17 starts, driving the double-row drive wheel 18 to rotate clockwise. The rotation of the double-row drive wheel 18 drives the slow wheel 19 and the fast wheel 21 to rotate through the transmission belt 20 and the cross belt 22, respectively. The diameter of the slow wheel 19 is larger than that of the fast wheel 21, and the speed of the slow wheel 19 is lower than that of the fast wheel 21, resulting in a speed difference between the two. At the same time, the transmission belt 20 drives the slow wheel 19 to rotate clockwise, and the cross belt 22 drives the fast wheel 21 to rotate counterclockwise. Wheels 21 are fixedly mounted on corresponding drive shafts 16. One end of each drive shaft 16 is fixedly connected to a corresponding cleaning shaft 13. Cleaning sleeves 14 are fixedly mounted on the outer side of each cleaning shaft 13. Multiple brushes 15 are fixedly installed on the outer side of each cleaning sleeve 14. The two cleaning shafts 13 rotate in opposite directions and have different speeds, which can significantly improve the ability to peel off stubborn stains (such as fecal residue on the eggshell surface, dried egg liquid, and feed debris) and enhance the cleaning ability of the equipment. When the egg moves to the middle position of the cleaning chamber 2, the stepper motor 10 starts and drives the rubber roller 11 to rotate. The rubber roller 11 rotates clockwise, and the tangential force drives the egg to rotate around its own axis, thereby turning it over and making it easier to clean the egg more thoroughly. The cleaned eggs enter the collection chamber 6 through the buffer platform 5 for easy collection by staff.
[0044] The technological advancements of this invention compared to existing technologies are: it can effectively destroy the adhesion of stains, and thoroughly remove stains through high-frequency, multi-directional friction and rinsing, eliminating the need for secondary manual cleaning, meeting food processing cleanliness standards, reducing operating costs, and using a stepper motor 10 to drive the rubber roller 11 to rotate clockwise, using tangential force to make the egg rotate and flip around its own axis, eliminating cleaning blind spots and ensuring the overall cleanliness of the eggshell.
