Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of preserved egg cleaning, and in particular to a device for cleaning mud off the shell of preserved eggs. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and processing of preserved eggs, they typically undergo steps such as being wrapped in mud and sealed for pickling. After pickling, a layer of dry and hardened mud-like material adheres to the shell. This material must be thoroughly removed before subsequent packaging and sales. Currently, the industry mainly uses two methods to clean the mud from preserved egg shells: manual cleaning and simple equipment-assisted cleaning. For manual cleaning, operators must individually extract the mud-covered preserved eggs, immerse them in clean water or a special cleaning solution, and repeatedly wipe the shells with brushes and cloths until the mud is removed. The eggs are then removed and drained. This entire process relies entirely on manual labor. Simple equipment-assisted cleaning involves fixing several nozzles to a support frame, placing the preserved eggs in batches on a perforated conveyor belt, and then using high-pressure water jets to rinse the surface of the eggs after the nozzles are turned on.

[0003] However, neither manual cleaning nor simple equipment cleaning can achieve continuous transport and batch cleaning of preserved eggs. Manual cleaning processes very few eggs at a time, and while simple equipment can hold preserved eggs in batches, the processing capacity per unit time is still very limited due to the need for manual turning and auxiliary operation. This makes it difficult to meet the needs of efficient cleaning of preserved eggs in large-scale production, severely restricting the overall production progress. Moreover, the cleaning quality of manual cleaning depends entirely on the operator's experience and force control. Excessive force can damage the preserved egg shell, while insufficient force can easily leave mud residue. The nozzles and brushes of simple equipment are fixed in position, making it impossible to adjust the contact angle and force according to the actual size of the preserved eggs. Furthermore, the lack of a structure to make the preserved eggs roll on their own results in a large number of cleaning blind spots on the surface of the preserved eggs, especially the mud in the concave areas, which is difficult to remove completely, resulting in extremely poor cleaning stability.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a device for cleaning the sludge from the shell of preserved eggs in order to improve the problems existing in the current technology. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a device for cleaning mud from the shell of preserved eggs, so as to improve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0006] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a device for cleaning mud from the shell of preserved eggs, including a mounting frame, a drive motor mounted on the side wall of the mounting frame, a sprocket assembly disposed inside the mounting frame, the sprocket assembly being connected to the output end of the drive motor, the drive motor driving the sprocket assembly to move, a mounting plate disposed on the mounting frame, and a spraying assembly disposed on the mounting plate, the spraying assembly being used to rinse the preserved eggs.

[0007] Furthermore, the sprocket assembly includes a shaft, a sprocket, and a chain. The shaft is symmetrically rotatably connected to the mounting bracket, one of the shafts is connected to the output end of the drive motor, the sprocket is disposed on the shaft, and the chain is wound around the sprocket.

[0008] Furthermore, the chain is provided with evenly distributed connecting rods, and the connecting rods are provided with multiple rotating parts.

[0009] Furthermore, the rotating component is cylindrical, and the circumferential diameter in the middle of the cylinder gradually increases towards the two ends.

[0010] Furthermore, the spraying assembly includes a water pipe and a nozzle, the water pipe being connected to an external water source, the nozzle being mounted on the mounting plate, and the nozzle being connected to the water pipe.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a cleaning assembly for use in conjunction with the spraying assembly to clean the preserved eggs. The cleaning assembly includes a cleaning brush, a damper, and an elastic element. The damper is connected to the mounting plate, the cleaning brush is disposed on the side of the damper away from the mounting plate, and the two ends of the elastic element are respectively connected to the cleaning brush and the mounting plate.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a guide assembly for guiding the preserved egg. The guide assembly includes a connector, a grip, a reset member, and a guide rod. The grip is used to fix the entire guide assembly on the mounting frame. The grip is in contact with the mounting frame and is rotatably connected to the connector. The guide rod is fixedly connected to the grip. The reset member is connected at both ends to the grip and the connector, respectively.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This utility model drives the sprocket assembly to operate via a drive motor. The chain drives the rotating parts to move synchronously through the connecting rod. It can continuously transport preserved eggs from the feeding end to the cleaning area and finally output them from the discharging end. The entire transmission process does not require manual intervention and can realize continuous processing of preserved eggs. Compared with manual cleaning and simple equipment cleaning, the amount of preserved eggs processed per unit time is significantly increased, which effectively meets the needs of large-scale production and speeds up the overall production process.

[0014] 2. During the transfer of the preserved eggs, the rotating component can cause the preserved eggs to roll autonomously, so that all parts of the preserved egg shell can be fully exposed. The spraying component on the mounting plate sprays water from multiple angles through the nozzles, which can thoroughly wash the rolling preserved eggs. At the same time, the cleaning brush in the cleaning component 7 can adapt to the surface of preserved eggs of different sizes under the action of the elastic component. The damper effectively buffers the impact force when the cleaning brush comes into contact with the preserved eggs, preventing the preserved eggs from being damaged due to excessive force. The synergistic effect of water flow and brush can thoroughly remove stubborn dirt from the shell and crevices, solving the problems of incomplete cleaning and easy damage in the prior art.

[0015] 3. The device only requires manual labor to complete the initial feeding and final unloading of preserved eggs. The core processes such as transmission, cleaning, and guiding are all automated, which greatly reduces the number of manual operation steps, reduces the labor intensity of operators, and thus reduces the labor input costs of enterprises. At the same time, the frequency of direct contact between humans and preserved eggs is significantly reduced, which effectively reduces the potential risk of bacterial contamination of preserved eggs by hands and is more conducive to ensuring the food safety and hygiene quality of preserved eggs.

[0016] 4. The guide rods and rotating parts are distributed in a crisscross pattern, with guide rods on both the front and rear sides of each rotating part. This provides precise guidance and positioning for the preserved eggs during transport, effectively preventing them from shifting, piling up, or colliding. This ensures a stable and continuous cleaning process, guaranteeing that the preserved eggs can fully contact the spraying and cleaning components 7 along the preset trajectory, improving cleaning uniformity. Simultaneously, the guide components are engaged and fixed to the mounting frame through the relative positions of the handle and the connector. When the handle and connector are perpendicular, the guide components are securely engaged, ensuring reliable guiding function. When the guide components need to be removed for maintenance, replacement, or repair of internal structures such as the sprocket assembly and rotating parts, simply rotate the handle to a horizontal position. The torsion spring will deform, releasing the engagement and allowing the guide components to be easily removed without additional tools. This simplifies maintenance procedures, reduces equipment maintenance difficulty, and further enhances the practicality and adaptability of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0026] This embodiment provides a device for cleaning sludge from the shell of preserved eggs, such as... Figures 1-5As shown, the device includes a mounting frame 1, a drive motor 2 mounted on the left side wall of the mounting frame 1, and a sprocket assembly 3 inside the mounting frame 1. The sprocket assembly 3 includes a shaft, sprockets, and a chain. Two shafts are symmetrically connected to the mounting frame 1. The left shaft is connected to the output end of the drive motor 2. Four sprockets are symmetrically arranged on the shafts. The chain is wound around two sprockets on the same side. The drive motor 2 drives the sprockets. Component 3 moves, and connecting rods are evenly distributed between the chains on the front and rear sides. Multiple rotating parts 4 are rotatably mounted on the connecting rods. The rotating parts 4 are used to transport the preserved eggs and drive the preserved eggs to roll by their own rotation. An installation plate 5 is provided on the right side of the mounting frame 1. A spraying component 6 is provided on the installation plate 5. The spraying component 6 includes a water pipe and a nozzle. The water pipe is connected to an external water source. The nozzle is mounted on the installation plate 5 and connected to the water pipe. The spraying component 6 is used to rinse the preserved eggs.

[0027] In one embodiment, the rotating component 4 is cylindrical, and the circumferential diameter in the middle of the cylinder gradually increases to the circumferential diameter at both ends. That is, the rotating component 4 is a cylinder that is thin in the middle and thick at both ends, which can better support the preserved egg.

[0028] In one embodiment, a cleaning component 7 is also included, which is used in conjunction with the spraying component 6 to clean the preserved eggs. The cleaning component 7 includes a cleaning brush 71, a damper 72 and a spring 73. The damper 72 is connected to the mounting plate 5. The cleaning brush 71 is disposed on the side of the damper 72 away from the mounting plate 5. The two ends of the spring 73 are respectively connected to the cleaning brush 71 and the mounting plate 5.

[0029] In one embodiment, a guide assembly 8 is also included, which guides the preserved egg. The guide assembly 8 includes a connector 81, a handle 82, a torsion spring 83, and a guide rod 84. The handle 82 fixes the entire guide assembly 8 to the left side of the mounting frame 1. The handle 82 is rotatably connected to the connector 81. The guide rod 84 is fixedly connected to the handle 82. The two ends of the torsion spring 83 are respectively connected to the handle 82 and the connector 81. The number of guide rods 84 is one more than the number of rotating parts 4. The guide rods 84 and rotating parts 4 are distributed alternately, and each rotating part 4 has guide rods 84 distributed on both its front and rear sides, thereby separating the rotating parts 4 on different sides and allowing the preserved egg to move in a straight line for rinsing.

[0030] Working principle: The preserved eggs to be cleaned are placed on the rotating component 4 within the mounting rack 1. The rotating component 4 is a columnar structure, thinner in the middle and thicker at both ends, which can stably support the preserved eggs. Then, the drive motor 2 is started, which drives the connected rotating shaft to rotate. The sprocket on the shaft rotates accordingly, which in turn drives the chain wound around the sprocket. The chain drives the rotating component 4 to move synchronously through the connecting rod, realizing the transfer of the preserved eggs. During the transfer process, the rotating component 4 rotates itself, causing the preserved eggs to roll, so that all parts of the preserved egg surface can be thoroughly cleaned.

[0031] The spray assembly 6, located on the mounting plate 5 on the right side of the mounting bracket 1, begins operation. A water pipe connected to an external water source delivers water to the nozzle, which sprays water onto the rolling preserved egg, initially rinsing the mud off its shell. Simultaneously, the cleaning brush 71 in the cleaning assembly 7, under the elastic action of the spring 73, makes close contact with the surface of the preserved egg. The damper 72 buffers the impact force generated when the cleaning brush 71 contacts the preserved egg, preventing damage. The cleaning brush 71, in conjunction with the water flow, scrubs the mud off the egg's shell, further enhancing the cleaning effect.

[0032] During the transport and cleaning of the preserved eggs, the guide assembly 8 plays a crucial role. Guide rods 84 are intersecting with rotating parts 4, and each rotating part 4 has guide rods 84 on both its front and rear sides. This separates rotating parts 4 on different sides, providing basic guidance and limiting for the preserved eggs, ensuring they are transported along a preset trajectory. The guide assembly 8 is fixed to the mounting frame 1. When the handle 82 and the connecting part 81 are perpendicular, the guide assembly 8 is securely engaged with the mounting frame 1, maintaining stable guidance. If the guide assembly 8 needs to be removed for maintenance, replacement, or adjustment of the internal structure, the handle 82 can be rotated to a horizontal position. At this time, the torsion spring 83 deforms, releasing the engagement between the guide assembly 8 and the mounting frame 1, allowing it to be removed from the mounting frame 1. The cleaned preserved eggs are output from the end of the device as the rotating parts 4 move. The entire process achieves automatic and efficient cleaning of the mud on the eggshells. Compared to manual cleaning, this not only saves labor costs but also significantly improves cleaning efficiency and cleanliness, while effectively preventing damage to the preserved eggs during the cleaning process.
