Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of separation equipment, and in particular to an egg white separation device for pastry processing. Background Technology

[0002] An egg white separation device for pastry processing is specifically designed for the food industry to achieve efficient and hygienic separation of egg whites and yolks. Its core function is to replace manual separation, improve production efficiency, avoid egg liquid contamination, and ensure the stability of pastry quality. However, during the egg-breaking process, a large number of eggshell fragments are easily generated, and these fragments become even smaller in the egg liquid. Some smaller fragments may pass through the filter holes of the device, resulting in poor separation of egg liquid and eggshell. Finding eggshell fragments in subsequent pastry products is an extremely unpleasant experience for both consumers and quality control personnel, seriously questioning the product's quality and hygiene. Furthermore, although the chalazae (the white membrane surrounding the egg white) are edible proteins, they affect the smooth texture of the egg liquid. Filtering out the chalazae can improve the texture of certain high-end products (such as silky egg tart fillings and delicate meringues). Based on this, this invention proposes an egg white separation device for pastry processing. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an egg white separation device for pastry processing, which solves the problems mentioned above.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: This utility model discloses an egg white separation device for pastry processing, comprising a mounting frame, a feeding hopper on one side of the top of the mounting frame, a downwardly inclined separation disc at the lower end of the feeding hopper, a downwardly inclined guide plate at the bottom of the separation disc, and a forwardly inclined egg yolk channel at the bottom of the guide plate; a parallel inclined groove at the bottom of the separation disc, a receiving plate below the inclined groove, an egg white collection trough below the receiving plate, and a filter screen slidably mounted on the upper surface of the egg white collection trough; the egg white collection trough is located at the bottom of the mounting frame, and several springs are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the mounting frame, with the other end of each spring mounted on a base located on the ground; a vibrator mounting plate is provided on the side wall of the mounting frame, and a vibrator is mounted on the vibrator mounting plate.

[0005] Furthermore, the receiving plate has a funnel-shaped structure, with its bottom opening located above the filter screen.

[0006] Furthermore, the upper surface of the egg white collection tank is provided with a sliding groove, and the bottom of the outer frame of the filter screen is provided with a roller assembly that cooperates with the sliding groove. The roller assembly includes rollers symmetrically distributed front and back.

[0007] Furthermore, a limiting plate is provided on the rear end face of the outer frame, and a baffle that cooperates with the limiting plate is provided on the rear end face of the egg white collection tank.

[0008] Furthermore, the baffle has an L-shaped structure.

[0009] Furthermore, a handle is provided on the left side wall of the outer frame.

[0010] Furthermore, a snap-fit ​​mechanism is provided on the upper left side of the outer frame, and a fixing rod is snapped into the snap-fit ​​mechanism. The bottom of the fixing rod is rotatably mounted on a hinge seat, which is located on the left side wall of the egg white collection tank.

[0011] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​mechanism includes a mounting base, an mounting box at the upper end of the mounting base, symmetrically distributed clamping plates inside the mounting box via fixing screws, and a U-shaped groove integrally formed at the end of the clamping plate away from the mounting box. An elastic roller is hinged to the U-shaped groove via a hinge shaft; the distance between adjacent elastic rollers is less than the diameter of the fixing rod.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model of an egg white separation device for pastry processing separates egg whites and yolks using a separating disc. The separated egg whites, under gravity, flow naturally into a lower inclined trough and eventually fall into a filter after passing through a receiving plate. Because of their small molecular size, the liquid egg whites pass easily through the filter's pores and flow into the egg white collection tank below, while fine eggshell fragments and stringy bits are effectively intercepted on the filter surface. In summary, this utility model of an egg white separation device for pastry processing can filter out eggshell fragments and stringy bits, ensuring the quality and food safety of pastries.

[0016] like Figure 1-5 As shown, an egg white separation device for pastry processing includes a mounting frame 1. A feeding hopper 2 is installed on one side of the top of the mounting frame 1. A downwardly inclined separation disc 3 is installed at the lower outlet of the feeding hopper 2. Utilizing the viscosity difference between egg yolk and egg white, eggs are cracked into the feeding hopper 2, and the egg white flows out through the gaps in the separation disc 3, leaving the egg yolk. A downwardly inclined guide plate 4 is installed at the bottom of the separation disc 3. A forward-inclined egg yolk channel 5 is installed at the bottom of the guide plate 4. The separated egg yolk flows through the guide plate 4 into the egg yolk channel 5 and is transported to a designated area.

[0017] A sloping groove 6 is installed parallel to the bottom of the separating tray 3, allowing the separated egg white to fall into the sloping groove 6 and preventing splashing. A receiving plate 7 is installed below the sloping groove 6, and an egg white collection tank 11 is installed below the receiving plate 7. A filter screen 10 is slidably installed on the upper surface of the egg white collection tank 11. That is, under the action of gravity, the egg white flows naturally into the receiving plate 7 below and eventually falls into the filter screen 10. Because the liquid egg white molecules are small, they will pass smoothly through the holes of the filter screen 10 and flow into the egg white collection tank 11 below, while small eggshell fragments and chalazae will be effectively intercepted on the screen surface by the filter screen 10.

[0018] The egg white collection tank 11 is installed at the bottom of the mounting frame 1. Several springs 12 are symmetrically installed at the bottom of the mounting frame 1, and the other end of each spring 12 is installed on a base 13 located on the ground. A vibrator mounting plate 8 is installed on the side wall of the mounting frame 1, and a vibrator 9 is installed on the vibrator mounting plate 8. When the vibrator 9 operates and generates impact or vibration, the springs 12 will undergo compression / tension deformation due to external force, converting some of the vibration energy into the "elastic potential energy" of the springs 12 and storing it, thus preventing the energy from being directly transferred to the mounting frame 1. In addition, the "stiffness characteristics" of the springs 12 can change the natural frequency of the vibration system, allowing the operating frequency of the vibration to be far away from the system's natural frequency, avoiding resonance (resonance amplifies vibration and causes equipment damage), and reducing the transmission of vibration to the surrounding environment (such as reducing ground vibration and noise diffusion).

[0019] The receiving plate 7 has a funnel-shaped structure, and its bottom opening is located above the filter screen 10.

[0020] The egg white collection tank 11 has sliding grooves 14 installed on its upper surface, which is distributed front to back. The bottom of the outer frame 16 of the filter screen 10 is equipped with a roller assembly that cooperates with the sliding grooves 14. The roller assembly includes rollers 17 symmetrically distributed front to back. The filter screen 10 can be easily pushed, pulled, and removed by the rollers 17 for easy replacement.

[0021] A limiting plate 18 is installed on the rear end face of the outer frame 16, and a baffle 15 that cooperates with the limiting plate 18 is installed on the rear end face of the egg white collection tank 11 to prevent the filter screen 10 from being offset to the outside and affecting the filtration effect.

[0022] The baffle 15 has an L-shaped structure, which serves to fix it in the vertical direction.

[0023] A handle 19 is installed on the left side wall of the outer frame 16 for easy pushing and pulling.

[0024] A snap-fit ​​mechanism 20 is installed on the upper left side of the outer frame 16. A fixing rod 21 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​mechanism 20. The bottom of the fixing rod 21 is rotatably mounted on a hinge seat 22, which is installed on the left side wall of the egg white collection tank 11. By snapping the fixing rod 21 into the snap-fit ​​mechanism 20, the filter screen 10 is fixed, preventing the filter screen 10 from shifting during vibration.

[0025] The locking mechanism 20 includes a mounting base 201, with a mounting box 202 mounted on its upper end. Symmetrically distributed clamping plates 204 are mounted inside the mounting box 202 via fixing screws 203. A U-shaped groove is integrally formed at the end of each clamping plate 204 away from the mounting box 202. Elastic rollers 205 are hinged within the U-shaped groove via hinge shafts 206. The distance between adjacent elastic rollers 205 is less than the diameter of the fixing rod 21. By pressing the fixing rod 21 with the bracket, it can directly enter the gap between the elastic rollers 205 and, after squeezing the elastic rollers 205, enter between the two clamping plates 204, achieving a fixing purpose. Similarly, by manually moving the fixing rod 21, it can be disengaged from the clamping plates 204.

[0026] The working process of this utility model is as follows: First, the filter screen 10 is installed on the upper end of the egg white collection tank 11, and the yolk collection device is placed at the outlet of the yolk channel 5. The vibrator 9 is then activated to make the equipment vibrate, thereby improving the separation effect. Then, the cracked eggs are placed in the feed hopper 2. The egg white will flow out from the gaps in the separation plate 3, leaving the yolk to flow into the yolk channel 5 along the guide plate 4. The separated egg white falls into the inclined trough 6 and falls onto the filter screen 10 at the inclination angle of the receiving plate 7. Finally, because the liquid egg white molecules are small, they will pass smoothly through the holes of the filter screen 10 and flow into the egg white collection tank 11 below, while small eggshell fragments and ties will be effectively intercepted on the screen surface by the filter screen 10.

[0027] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
