Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of egg processing technology, specifically an egg cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Eggs have a large number of bacteria on their surface. Although there is a natural protective layer on the surface that can prevent bacteria from entering the egg, dirt on the eggshell surface, such as feces and dust, not only carries pathogens, but may also contaminate other eggs during subsequent processing and transportation. Furthermore, the accumulation of dirt can damage the integrity of the protective layer. If it is not cleaned in time, it will not only fail to meet food hygiene standards, but may also cause the protective layer to fail, thus exacerbating bacterial invasion and moisture evaporation.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN220326534U discloses a cleaning device for egg processing, including a support frame with a conveyor belt inside. A cleaning component is mounted on the support frame, and a decontamination component for cleaning adhesive residue is positioned above the cleaning component. A blower is located on one side of the decontamination component, and a guide vane is fixedly connected to the bottom of the blower. The guide vane has a bending angle of 120 degrees. The decontamination component includes a scraping component, which includes a connector positioned above the cleaning component. A collection box is fixedly connected below the connector. This utility model, by incorporating a decontamination component that causes the scraping component to reciprocate, performs real-time decontamination work on the cleaning component, avoiding the problem of dirt accumulation on the cleaning brush. The decontamination component also reduces manual cleaning operations, thereby improving the efficiency of cleaning eggs with a brush.

[0004] The rollers in existing devices generally adopt a smooth surface structure design. When the cleaning component applies a cleaning force to the surface of the egg, the smooth roller surface cannot provide enough friction and limiting effect for the egg. The egg is prone to displacement on the roller, or even rolling and colliding. Therefore, it is not convenient to limit the egg.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides an egg cleaning device to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an egg cleaning device that solves the aforementioned problems.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an egg cleaning device includes a supporting shell, a conveying mechanism fixedly connected to the side surface of the supporting shell, and a cleaning mechanism fixedly connected to the upper surface of the supporting shell. The conveying mechanism includes a reduction motor fixedly connected to the side surface of the supporting shell, a drive sprocket fixedly connected to the output shaft of the reduction motor, a chain meshing with the outer surface of the drive sprocket, and a driven sprocket rotatably connected to the inner wall of the supporting shell. The chain is sleeved on the outer surfaces of the drive sprocket and the driven sprocket, and a connecting seat is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the chain. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the connecting seat. The cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning shell and a fixed shell fixedly connected to the upper surface of the supporting shell. A fixed water pipe is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning shell, and multiple sets of water spray heads are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the fixed water pipe. A cleaning shell is attached to the upper surface of the cleaning shell, and a cleaning brush is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cleaning shell. Multiple sets of fans are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed shell.

[0008] Furthermore, a water tank is provided on one side of the supporting shell, and a water pump is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the water tank. The inlet of the water pump extends into the interior of the water tank, and the outlet of the water pump is connected to a connecting pipe through a pipe. The two ends of the connecting pipe are respectively connected to the inner wall of the fixed water pipe.

[0009] Using the above technical solution, the water pump is activated to easily guide the liquid in the water tank into the fixed water pipe, so that the spray head can wash the surface of the egg. The fan adopts a low temperature and micro wind design, and the air outlet is directed towards the egg conveying path. It can quickly dry the moisture on the surface of the eggshell without damaging the residual protective layer on the egg surface, avoiding the growth of bacteria due to moisture residue, and preventing the egg from shifting or breaking due to strong wind impact.

[0010] Furthermore, a handle is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the cleaning housing, and a bolt is threadedly connected to the upper surface of the cleaning housing. The outer surface of the bolt is threadedly connected to the cleaning housing, and a drain valve is fixedly connected to the side surface of the supporting housing.

[0011] Using the above technical solution, the handle facilitates the disassembly and installation of the cleaning housing by the staff. When the cleaning brush needs to be replaced, cleaned, or the internal parts of the device need maintenance, the cleaning housing can be quickly removed through the handle, improving maintenance convenience. The bolt connection is stable and reliable, ensuring that the cleaning housing and the washing housing fit tightly together, preventing the cleaning housing from loosening during the cleaning process and affecting the working stability of the cleaning brush. At the same time, the threaded connection is easy to disassemble, and the drain valve on the side surface of the supporting housing can drain the sewage generated during the cleaning process in a timely manner, preventing sewage from accumulating inside the device.

[0012] Furthermore, a servo motor is fixedly connected to the side surface of the cleaning housing, and the output shaft of the servo motor is fixedly connected to one end of the cleaning brush.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the servo motor can be started to drive the cleaning brush to rotate at high speed, which facilitates the cleaning of the outer surface of the egg. When the egg moves with the connecting seat and comes into contact with the cleaning brush, the rotating shaft can rotate synchronously with the slight rotation of the egg, avoiding hard friction between the egg surface and the brush that could cause the eggshell to break. At the same time, it ensures that all areas of the egg surface can fully contact the brush, improving the uniformity of cleaning.

[0014] Furthermore, an inwardly recessed arc-shaped groove is formed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft, and a support rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the supporting shell.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the arc-shaped groove on the outer surface of the rotating shaft is adapted to the shape of the egg, which can play a good role in limiting the egg, preventing the egg from shifting during transportation and cleaning, ensuring that the egg is always in the correct cleaning position, and improving the stability and consistency of cleaning.

[0016] Furthermore, a limiting protrusion is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support rod, and a limiting groove is formed on the outer surface of the connecting seat to match the outer surface of the limiting protrusion. The limiting groove is slidably connected to the outer surface of the limiting protrusion, and a control panel is fixedly connected to the side surface of the support shell.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding cooperation between the limiting protrusion and the upper limiting groove of the connecting seat can guide and limit the movement trajectory of the connecting seat, prevent the connecting seat from shifting left or right during movement, and ensure that the connecting seat drives the egg to pass through the cleaning area accurately.

[0021] 2. This egg cleaning device uses a water pump to transport liquid from the tank to a fixed water pipe, where it is sprayed by a water nozzle to rinse the eggs. At the same time, a servo motor drives a cleaning brush to sweep the eggs, and then the eggs are dried by a fan, achieving a multi-stage cleaning process. The outer casing of the cleaning device is easily disassembled and assembled with bolts, facilitating maintenance. A drain valve promptly drains wastewater, ensuring cleaning effectiveness and keeping the device tidy. Attached Figure Description

The drain valve 5 drains the sewage in time to ensure the cleaning effect and the cleanliness of the device.

[0036] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0037] Working principle: First, the operator starts the device via control panel 4. The reduction motor 208 then rotates, driving the drive sprocket 203 to rotate. The drive sprocket 203 drives the driven sprocket to rotate synchronously via chain 202. Simultaneously, chain 202 moves the connecting seat 204 on the outer surface. During the movement of the connecting seat 204, the limiting groove 207 on its outer surface slides and engages with the limiting protrusion 206 on the support rod 205 on the inner wall of the supporting shell 1, ensuring that the connecting seat 204 moves smoothly along a fixed trajectory. Then, the egg is placed in the arc-shaped groove of the rotating shaft 201 on the upper surface of the connecting seat 204. The rotating shaft 201 limits the egg, preventing it from shifting during transport. When the egg is transported with the connecting seat 204 to the bottom of the cleaning mechanism 3, the water pump 305 starts and transports the liquid in the water tank 304 through the connecting pipe 306 to the fixed water pipe 310 on the inner wall of the cleaning shell 309. The fixed water pipe 310 sprays water onto the egg surface through the spray nozzle 312 on the lower surface. The egg is rinsed; simultaneously, the servo motor 303 on the cleaning shell 301 is started, driving the cleaning brush 311 on its inner wall to rotate at high speed, further cleaning the surface of the egg after being rinsed with water; the wastewater generated during the cleaning process can be discharged in time through the drain valve 5 on the side surface of the supporting shell 1 to avoid the accumulation of wastewater inside the device; after the egg is cleaned, it continues to move with the connecting seat 204 to the bottom of the fixed shell 307, and the fan 308 is started to dry the surface of the egg. After drying, it continues to move with the connecting seat 204 to the device outlet, where the staff can remove the cleaned egg; if the cleaning brush 311 needs to be replaced, cleaned, or the internal parts of the device need to be maintained, the staff can hold the handle on the upper surface of the cleaning shell 301, unscrew the bolt 302 connecting the cleaning shell 301 and the washing shell 309, disassemble the cleaning shell 301 for the corresponding operation, and then reinstall and fix the cleaning shell 301 with the bolt 302 after the operation is completed.

[0038] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
