Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of poultry egg processing technology, specifically to a poultry egg surface cleaning and disinfection device. Background Technology

[0002] As an important animal-derived food, poultry eggs occupy a pivotal position in the global food market. With the improvement of people's living standards and the diversification of dietary structures, the demand for poultry eggs continues to grow, giving rise to the poultry egg processing industry. This industry covers the entire process from the collection, transportation, cleaning, disinfection, grading, and packaging of poultry eggs to their final sale. Poultry egg processing not only extends the shelf life of poultry eggs but also meets the needs of different consumers, such as liquid egg products, egg powder, and preserved eggs. The surface of poultry eggs may carry a variety of pathogenic microorganisms, such as Salmonella and Escherichia coli. These microorganisms can enter the egg through pores or cracks on the surface, contaminating the egg liquid and causing food poisoning. Salmonella is one of the most common pathogenic bacteria in poultry eggs, and its infection can lead to serious gastrointestinal diseases, especially posing a greater risk to children, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems. Effective surface cleaning and disinfection can significantly reduce the number of microorganisms on the surface of poultry eggs, reduce food safety risks, and protect consumers' health.

[0003] A search revealed a batch disinfection device for egg production, application number CN202420272408.3. This device places eggs inside a wire mesh cage and disinfects the eggs by immersing the entire cage in a disinfection pool. Immersion disinfection relies on the static penetration of the disinfectant. However, when eggs accumulate in the wire mesh cage, air bubbles or blockages easily form on the contact surface, preventing the eggshell surface from fully contacting the disinfectant and creating disinfection dead zones. Moreover, eggshells often have organic matter such as feces and feathers attached, which is difficult to remove completely during immersion. The organic matter residue can block the disinfectant and reduce the sterilization effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for cleaning and disinfecting the surface of poultry eggs to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a poultry egg surface cleaning and disinfection device, comprising a disinfection pool body and a discharge pipe connected to the side of the disinfection pool body, an electromagnetic valve installed on the discharge pipe, and fixed platforms installed on the left and right sides of the disinfection pool body, wherein an air pump and a purification box are fixed on the fixed platforms, and the purification box and the air pump are connected to each other; the air pump is connected to an installation pipe, and an aeration disc body is installed on the surface of the installation pipe.

[0006] The disinfection pool body is equipped with a drive structure on the front and rear sides. A connecting frame is fixed on the opposite side of the drive structure. The bottom of the connecting frame extends into the interior of the disinfection pool body and is fixed with a movable frame. A flexible mesh is installed inside the movable frame, and a protective baffle is fixed on top of the flexible mesh.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0008] This invention employs microbubble physical peeling technology. The bubble clusters generated by the aeration disc directly impact the gaps in the eggshell through cavitation, effectively removing feces and feathers adhering to the surface of the poultry egg. The bubbles also agitate the disinfectant, ensuring more thorough contact between the disinfectant and the surface of the poultry egg. Furthermore, the device can shake the poultry egg during soaking and disinfection to completely eliminate blind spots at the bottom, effectively improving the sterilization rate.

[0015] 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.

[0016] Please see Figure 1-5As shown, a poultry egg surface cleaning and disinfection device includes a disinfection pool body 1 and a discharge pipe 2 connected to the side of the disinfection pool body 1. A solenoid valve is installed on the discharge pipe 2. Fixed platforms 3 are installed on the left and right sides of the disinfection pool body 1. An air pump 4 and a purification box 5 are fixed on the fixed platform 3. The purification box 5 is connected to the air pump 4. The air pump is connected to an installation pipe 6. An aeration disc body 7 is installed on the surface of the installation pipe 6.

[0017] A drive structure 8 is installed on the front and rear sides of the disinfection pool body 1. A connecting frame 9 is fixed on the opposite side of the drive structure 8. The bottom of the connecting frame 9 extends into the interior of the disinfection pool body 1 and is fixed with a movable frame 10. A flexible mesh 11 is installed inside the movable frame 10, and a protective baffle 12 is fixed above the flexible mesh 11.

[0018] The top of the purification box 5 is connected to an air inlet pipe 13, and the interior of the purification box 5 is equipped with a filter screen, a HEPA filter element, and activated carbon filter media. It can effectively filter and purify the air bubbles discharged from the aeration disc body 7, avoiding contamination of the surface of poultry eggs.

[0019] The mounting pipe 6 is U-shaped and extends into the interior of the disinfection tank body 1. Several aeration disc bodies 7 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the disinfection tank body 1 and connected to the mounting pipe 6. Multiple aeration disc bodies 7 can evenly expel air bubbles, effectively improving the disinfection effect of the disinfectant on the surface of poultry eggs.

[0020] The drive structure 8 includes a fixed frame 81, a hydraulic cylinder 82, a connecting block 83, and a reciprocating cylinder 84. The fixed frame 81 is bolted to the upper part of the front and rear sides of the disinfection pool body 1. The hydraulic cylinder 82 is fixed to the surface of the fixed frame 81. The connecting block 83 is fixed to the top of the output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder 82. The reciprocating cylinder 84 is fixed to the inner side of the connecting block 83. The connecting frame 9 is fixedly connected to the sliding part on the surface of the reciprocating cylinder 84.

[0021] The hydraulic cylinder 82 controls the connecting frame 9 to move the movable frame 10 up and down, so that the poultry eggs placed above the flexible grid 11 can be lowered, allowing the poultry eggs to come into contact with the disinfectant inside the disinfection tank body 1. After disinfection, the poultry eggs are lifted up. The reciprocating cylinder 84 can drive the connecting frame 9 to move left and right, thereby causing the movable frame 10 to sway left and right inside the disinfection tank body 1, allowing the poultry eggs to move inside the disinfection tank body 1 and improving the disinfection effect.

[0022] The number of protective baffles 12 is several, and the protective baffles 12 are used in pairs. Each of the protective baffles 12 is provided with cleaning bristles 14 on the opposite side.

[0023] The protective baffles 12 are arranged longitudinally, and both the protective baffles 12 and the cleaning brush 14 are made of food-grade silicone. When the staff places the poultry eggs on the flexible grid 11, the protective baffles 12 on both sides can isolate the poultry eggs. When the movable frame 10 shakes left and right, the protective baffles 12 on both sides can cushion the poultry eggs. Moreover, the cleaning brush 14 can further clean the surface of the poultry eggs and improve the disinfection effect.

[0024] Working principle: First, the staff arranges the eggs to be processed in an orderly manner between the protective baffles 12 above the flexible grid 11. The food-grade silicone protective baffles 12, arranged in pairs vertically, isolate and fix the eggs. After the device is activated, the hydraulic cylinder 82 on the surface of the fixing frame 81 pushes the connecting block 83 downwards, causing the connecting frame 9 and the movable frame 10 to descend as a whole. This allows the flexible grid 11, carrying the eggs, to be immersed in the disinfectant solution in the disinfection tank body 1. At this time, the air pump 4 starts working, and external air enters the purification box 5 through the air inlet pipe 13. The purified air is then transported to the aeration disc body 7 through the installation pipe 6. The aeration disc body 7 releases a uniform cluster of bubbles at the bottom of the disinfection tank. The process involves using the buoyancy of air bubbles to detach fecal matter from the crevices of the eggshell. When the bubbles burst, they create micro-jet streams that penetrate the layer of dirt. The bubble clusters also agitate the disinfectant solution, creating turbulence that enhances the chemical sterilization effect. Simultaneously, the reciprocating cylinder 84 drives the connecting frame 9 to move horizontally back and forth, causing the movable frame 10 and the flexible mesh 11 to sway left and right. This allows the eggs to tumble slightly under the control of the silicone protective baffle 12, eliminating soaking dead corners and cleaning the friction between the brush bristles 14 and the eggshell surface, thus strengthening physical cleaning. After a period of disinfection, the hydraulic cylinder 82 lifts the movable frame 10 to remove the eggs from the liquid surface. Then, the staff can remove the disinfected eggs for subsequent cleaning and drying operations.

[0025] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
