Definitions

  • the above objectives are obtained by use of a structure maintaining a dynamically balanced system with strip brushes tilted from the vertical and always bent when in contact with an egg.
  • FIGURE is a perspective view of a portion of the machine for washing eggs showing the present invention.
  • Opposed eccentric drives are connected 'to reciprocate each of lever arms 11 and 12 which are pivotally connected to transverse beams 13 and 14, respectively.
  • the movement of levers 11 and 12 reciprocates beams 13 and 14 in a horizontal plane in opposite directions, thereby causing a similar horizontal movement of frames attached thereto having longitudinal beams 15 and 16 as shown.
  • Similar longitudinal beams not shown are similarly connected on opposite ends of transverse beams 13 and 14 to help complete the movable frames.
  • the two frames are flexure mounted on spring supports (one side shown) to permit transverse oscillation and being driven by opposed eccentric drives thus maintain a dynamically balanced system. Stiffness of the flexure mountings is selected to produce a natural frequency of vibration for the brush frames that approximates the driven frequency.
  • Brushes l7 and 18 are mounted on transverse supporting beams 19 and 20, respectively, which have their ends attached to longitudinal beams 15 and 16, respectively, and thus are reciprocated transversely in a horizontal plane opposite directions over eggs 21. These eggs 21 are carried by rollers 22 carried on transverse rods 23 attached at their ends to chains 24 (only one side shown). Rollers 22, rods 23, and chains 24 form the conveyor for moving eggs 21 and slowly rotating them as they pass through the egg washer.
  • Strip brushes 17 and 18 are tilted approximately 30 from the vertical and positioned to always be bent when in contact with an egg so as to avoid column force adequate to spear an egg membrane through a cracked egg shell. Although illustrated at approximately 30 from the vertical, the brushes may be tilted even further from the vertical. A position of 60 from the vertical has still been found effective.
  • a fast washing action is accomplished by rapid oscillating reciprocation of brushes 17 and 18 in opposite directions.
  • the bristles continually remove dirt loosened by the chemical action of the washing solution that flows down the brushes from spray heads 25 located above them and receiving their supply of solution through pipe 26.
  • the bristles of brushes 17 and 18 are of unequal length transversely of the strip brush with decreasing length in the direction of the lean of the brush. This increases the effective action of the brush since it uses its end portions without the undesirable stabbing action discussed above.
  • a method of washing eggs comprising the steps of moving eggs on a conveyor beneath a pair of strip brushes tilted from the vertical position in order of about 30-60,
  • a machine for washing eggs comprising means to apply a washing solution on the eggs
  • said means to reciprocate said brushes including transverse beams supporting said bushes, at least two movable frames supporting said brush supporting transverse beams, each of one of said pair of brushes being supported by a said transverse beam supported by one of said frames, and the other of said pair of brushes being supported by a said transverse beam supported by another of said frames, and means to move said movable frames in a reciprocal movement in opposite directions to each other.
  • the machine of claim 6, further characterized by said means to move said movable frames including lever means pivotally connected to each of said at least two movable frames, one of said lever means connected to an opposed eccentric drive from another of said lever means.
  • said movable frames mounted on spring flexure mountings.
  • said spring flexure mountings producing a natural frequency of vibration of said frames approximating the driven frequency of said frames.
