Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Eierhalter einer Eierbearbeitungsvorrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to an egg holder of an egg processing device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Derartiger Eierhalter werden insbesondere bei Eierfärbemaschinen eingesetzt. Auf den Eierhaltern werden insbesondere gekochte und zu färbende Eier abgestützt und durch eine Färbestation einer Eierfärbemaschine transportiert. Während des Färbevorgangs werden die Eierhalter dabei um eine Rotationsachse gedreht.Such egg holders are used in particular in egg dyeing machines. In particular, boiled eggs and eggs to be dyed are supported on the egg holders and transported through a dyeing station of an egg dyeing machine. During the dyeing process, the egg holders are rotated around an axis of rotation.

In der Eierfärbemaschine werden in einer Färbestation während des Durchlaufs der Eier diese mithilfe einer oder mehrerer Farbspritzpistolen mit einer gewünschten Farbe besprüht.In the egg dyeing machine, in a dyeing station, as the eggs pass through, they are sprayed with a desired color using one or more paint spray guns.

Wichtig für die Eierhalter dabei ist, dass diese nur eine äußerst geringen Oberflächenkontakt mit dem Ei haben, um eine möglichst vollflächige Färbung des Eis erreichen zu können. Daher sind die Stützdrähte solcher Eierhalter an ihren Enden zu Spitzen ausgeformt, um eine möglichst geringe Kontaktfläche zwischen Stützdrähten und Ei zu erreichen.It is important for the egg keepers that they only have very little surface contact with the egg in order to achieve the most complete coloring possible on the egg. Therefore, the support wires of such egg holders are shaped into points at their ends in order to achieve the smallest possible contact area between the support wires and the egg.

Ein gattungsgemäßer Eierhalter ist beispielsweise aus der DE 195 31 322 bekannt.A generic egg holder is, for example, from the DE 195 31 322 known.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, einen Eierhalter der gattungsgemäßen Art dahingehend weiterzuentwickeln, eine nochmals verbesserte Abstützung und einen vereinfachten Aufbau des Eierhalters zu ermöglichen.The object of the present invention is to further develop an egg holder of the generic type to enable further improved support and a simplified structure of the egg holder.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Eierhalter einer Eierbearbeitungsvorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This task is achieved by an egg holder of an egg processing device with the features of claim 1.

Der erfindungsgemäße Eierhalter weist einen um eine lotrechte Rotationsachse drehbaren Sockel auf. An dem Sockel sind wenigstens drei Stützdrähte gehalten sowie ein Auflagestift.The egg holder according to the invention has a base which can be rotated about a vertical axis of rotation. At least three support wires and a support pin are held on the base.

Zumindest der Auflagestift steht aus einem stirnseitigen Ende des Sockels vor.At least the support pin protrudes from a front end of the base.

Die Stützdrähte laufen vom Sockel ausgehend zunächst in einem ersten Bereich auseinanderstrebend nach oben und im oberen Bereich wieder aufeinander zu.Starting from the base, the support wires initially diverge upwards in a first area and then converge again in the upper area.

Freie Enden der Stützdrähte sind auf einer gedachten Ringzone in etwa in einer horizontalen Stützebene positioniert, während ein freies Ende des Auflagestiftes unterhalb der Stützebene in einer Auflageebene endet.Free ends of the support wires are positioned on an imaginary ring zone approximately in a horizontal support plane, while a free end of the support pin ends below the support plane in a support plane.

Die Stützdrähte und der Auflagestift sind in Aufnahmen eines Kopfbereichs des Sockels stoffschlüssig gehalten.The support wires and the support pin are held in a materially bonded manner in receptacles in a head area of the base.

Unterhalb des Kopfbereichs des Sockels ein Farbflüssigkeit auffangender Kragen an einer Mantelfläche des Sockels angeordnet.Below the head area of the base, a collar that collects paint liquid is arranged on a lateral surface of the base.

Ein solcher Eierhalter zeichnet sich durch einen besonders einfachen Aufbau aus.Such an egg holder is characterized by a particularly simple structure.

Insbesondere ist die stoffschlüssige Halterung der Stützdrähte und des Auflagestiftes im Kopfbereich des Sockels in äußerst einfacher Weise durchführbar.In particular, the cohesive holding of the support wires and the support pin in the head area of the base can be carried out in an extremely simple manner.

Ein Fixieren der Stützdrähte und des Auflagestifts beispielsweise durch Verschraubung ist damit nicht mehr notwendig.Fixing the support wires and the support pin, for example by screwing, is no longer necessary.

Durch die Anordnung des Kragens wird eine Kontamination der Drehlagerung des Sockels wirksam verhindert.The arrangement of the collar effectively prevents contamination of the pivot bearing of the base.

Vorteilhafte Ausführungsvarianten der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Advantageous embodiment variants of the invention are the subject of the subclaims.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsvariante der Erfindung sind die Stützdrähte und der Auflagestift in Aufnahmen eines Kopfbereichs des Sockels eingesteckt und eingeklebt. Die Aufnahmen im Kopfbereichs des Sockels sind dabei bevorzugt so gestaltet, dass die Abmaße der Aufnahmen dem Umfang der Stützdrähte und des Auflagestiftes im in die Aufnahmen einzusteckenden Bereich entspricht.According to an advantageous embodiment variant of the invention, the support wires and the support pin are inserted and glued into receptacles in a head region of the base. The receptacles in the head area of the base are preferably designed so that the dimensions of the receptacles correspond to the circumference of the support wires and the support pin in the area to be inserted into the receptacles.

Der Kragen ist gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung in einer Nut einer die Mantelfläche des Sockels umrandenden Lippe gehalten.According to a preferred development, the collar is held in a groove in a lip surrounding the lateral surface of the base.

Dies ermöglicht eine äußerst einfache und zuverlässige Fixierung des Kragens an der Mantelfläche des Sockels.This enables extremely simple and reliable fixation of the collar on the lateral surface of the base.

Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante ist die Mantelfläche des Sockels oberhalb des Kragens bzw. oberhalb der Lippe zylindrisch ausgebildet.According to a further preferred embodiment variant, the lateral surface of the base above the collar or above the lip is cylindrical.

Die glattflächige zylindrische Ausbildung der Mantelaußenfläche des Sockels ermöglicht eine einfache Reinigung des Eierhalters.The smooth cylindrical design of the outer surface of the base enables the egg holder to be easily cleaned.

Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante ist der Sockel unterhalb des Kopfbereichs als Hohlzylinder mit einem zu einer unteren Stirnseite offenen Sackloch zur Aufnahme einer Drehachse ausgebildet.According to a further preferred embodiment variant, the base below the head area is designed as a hollow cylinder with a blind hole open to a lower end face for receiving an axis of rotation.

Damit ist eine einfache Drehlagerung des Sockels ermöglicht, bei gleichzeitiger Verhinderung des Eindringens von Farbnebel in das Drehlager.This enables the base to be easily pivoted while at the same time preventing paint mist from entering the pivot bearing.

Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante ist der die freien Enden der Stützdrähte aufweisende obere Bereich etwa rechtwinklig zu dem ersten Bereich der Stützdrähte umgebogen.According to a further preferred embodiment variant, the upper region having the free ends of the support wires is bent approximately at right angles to the first region of the support wires.

Dadurch können Spritzschatten beim Farbauftrag auf die Eier wirksam vermieden werden.This means that splash shadows can be effectively avoided when applying paint to the eggs.

Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante sind die Aufnahmen des Kopfbereichs des Sockels parallel zu seiner Rotationsachse ausgerichtet.According to a further preferred embodiment variant, the receptacles of the head region of the base are aligned parallel to its axis of rotation.

Dadurch ist ein äußerst einfacher Aufbau des Kopfbereichs des Sockels ermöglicht, bei dem lediglich Aufnahmebohrungen in das stirnseitige Ende des Kopfbereichs des Sockels eingebracht werden müssen.This enables an extremely simple structure of the head area of the base, in which only receiving holes have to be made in the front end of the head area of the base.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist der erste Bereich der Stützdrähte unter einem Winkel zwischen 20° und 40° zu einem in den Kopfbereich des Sockels eingesteckten Einsteckbereich der Stützdrähte umgebogen.According to a preferred development of the invention, the first region of the support wires is bent at an angle between 20 ° and 40 ° to an insertion region of the support wires inserted into the head region of the base.

Dadurch wird die Gefahr eines Durchsackens schlanker Eier minimiert.This minimizes the risk of slim eggs sagging.

Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsvariante des erfindungsgemäßen Eierhalters ist ein freies Ende des Auflagestiftes abgeflacht ausgebildet, um Beschädigungen der Eischale zu vermeiden.According to a further preferred embodiment variant of the egg holder according to the invention, a free end of the support pin is designed to be flattened in order to avoid damage to the eggshell.

Nachfolgend werden bevorzugte Ausführungsvarianten anhand der beiliegenden Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

Der Sockel 2 ist teilweise hohlzylindrisch ausgebildet, wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt ist, mit einem Sackloch 25, das auf eine Drehachse einer Eierbearbeitungsvorrichtung, insbesondere einer Eierfärbemaschine aufsetzbar ist.The base 2 is partially hollow cylindrical, as in Fig. 2 is shown, with a blind hole 25 which can be placed on a rotation axis of an egg processing device, in particular an egg dyeing machine.

Im Bereich des unteren Ende des Sockels 2 ist bei der hier gezeigten Ausführungsvariante ein Antriebsring 6 auf den Sockel 2 aufgesetzt oder an diesem angeformt. Der Antriebsring 6 weist dabei einen kreisabschnittsförmigen Teilring 61 mit einer Abflachung 62 auf, die mit einem Rotationsantrieb der Eierbearbeitungsvorrichtung gekoppelt ist und den Eierhalter 1 während des Durchlaufs durch die Eierbearbeitungsmaschine in Drehbewegung versetzt.In the area of the lower end of the base 2, in the embodiment variant shown here, a drive ring 6 is placed on the base 2 or molded onto it. The drive ring 6 has a circular segment-shaped partial ring 61 with a flattening 62, which is coupled to a rotation drive of the egg processing device and sets the egg holder 1 in rotational motion as it passes through the egg processing machine.

An dem Sockel 2 sind wenigstens drei Stützdrähte 3 gehalten sowie ein Auflagestift 4. Bei der hier gezeigten Ausführungsvariante sind vier solcher Stützdrähte 3 am Sockel 2 befestigt. Denkbar ist auch, mehr als vier solcher Stützdrähte 3 zur Abstützung des Eis am Sockel 2 zu fixieren.At least three support wires 3 and a support pin 4 are held on the base 2. In the embodiment variant shown here, there are four such support wires 3 attached to base 2. It is also conceivable to fix more than four such support wires 3 to the base 2 to support the egg.

Der Auflagestift 4 steht, wie in Fig. 1 erkennbar ist, aus einem stirnseitigen Ende des Sockels 2 vor.The support pin 4 is as shown Fig. 1 can be seen from a front end of the base 2.

Die Stützdrähte 3 erstrecken sich vom Sockel 2 ausgehend zunächst in einem ersten Bereich 33 auseinanderstrebend nach oben und laufen im oberen Bereich 34 wieder aufeinander zu.The support wires 3 extend from the base 2, initially diverging upwards in a first area 33 and converge again in the upper area 34.

Freie Enden 31 der Stützdrähte 3, die bevorzugt spitz zulaufen, enden auf einer gedachten Ringzone in etwa in einer horizontalen Stützebene 7.Free ends 31 of the support wires 3, which preferably taper to a point, end on an imaginary ring zone approximately in a horizontal support plane 7.

Das freie Ende 41 des Auflagestiftes 4, dessen Stirnfläche bevorzugt glattflächig oder gerundet ausgebildet ist, endet unterhalb der Stützebene 7 in einer Auflageebene 8, wie es in Fig. 2 dargestellt ist.The free end 41 of the support pin 4, the end face of which is preferably smooth or rounded, ends below the support plane 7 in a support plane 8, as shown in Fig. 2 is shown.

Die Stützdrähte 3 und der Auflagestift 4 sind in Aufnahmen 22 eines Kopfbereichs 23 des Sockels 2 stoffschlüssig gehalten. Bevorzugt sind die Stützdrähte 3 und der Auflagestift 4 in Aufnahmen 22 des Kopfbereichs 23 des Sockels 2 eingesteckt und in diesen verklebt.The support wires 3 and the support pin 4 are held in a materially bonded manner in receptacles 22 of a head region 23 of the base 2. The support wires 3 and the support pin 4 are preferably inserted into receptacles 22 of the head region 23 of the base 2 and glued into them.

Ein in den Kopfbereich 23 des Sockels 2 eingesteckter Einsteckbereich 32 der Stützdrähte 3 ist bevorzugt relativ zu einem ersten Bereich 33 der Stützdrähte 3, der sich an den Einsteckbereich 32 der Stützdrähte 3 nach oben anschließt, unter einem Winkel zwischen 20° und 40° umgebogen.An insertion area 32 of the support wires 3 inserted into the head area 23 of the base 2 is preferably bent at an angle between 20° and 40° relative to a first area 33 of the support wires 3, which adjoins the insertion area 32 of the support wires 3 at the top.

Der die freien Enden 31 der Stützdrähte 3 aufweisende obere Bereich 34 der Stützdrähte 3 ist etwa rechtwinklig zu dem ersten Bereich 33 der Stützdrähte 3 umgebogen.The upper region 34 of the support wires 3, which has the free ends 31 of the support wires 3, is bent approximately at right angles to the first region 33 of the support wires 3.

Wie in Fig. 2 des Weiteren gezeigt ist, sind die Aufnahmen 22 des Kopfbereichs 23 des Sockels 2 parallel zur Rotationsachse R des Sockels 2 ausgerichtet.As in Fig. 2 is further shown, the receptacles 22 of the head region 23 of the base 2 are aligned parallel to the axis of rotation R of the base 2.

Die Aufnahmen 22 sind dabei bevorzugt als in die obere Stirnfläche 21 des Sockels 2 eingebrachte Bohrungen ausgebildet, in die die Einsteckbereiche 32 der Stützdrähte 3 und der Einsteckbereich 42 des Auflagestifts 4 einsteckbar und somit vorfixierbar sind.The receptacles 22 are preferably designed as holes made in the upper end face 21 of the base 2, into which the insertion areas 32 of the support wires 3 and the insertion area 42 of the support pin 4 can be inserted and thus pre-fixed.

Wie des Weiteren in den Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellt ist, ist unterhalb des Kopfbereichs 23 des Sockels 2 ein Kragen 5 an einer Mantelfläche 24 des Sockels 2 angeordnet, der insbesondere dem Auffangen von Farbflüssigkeit dient, die während des Einfärbevorgangs des Eies an der Mantelfläche 24 des Sockels 2 herunterläuft. Der Kragen 5 verhindert damit eine Kontamination der Drehlagerung des Sockels 2.As further in the Fig. 1 and 2 is shown, a collar 5 is arranged below the head area 23 of the base 2 on a lateral surface 24 of the base 2, which serves in particular to collect coloring liquid that runs down the lateral surface 24 of the base 2 during the coloring process of the egg. The collar 5 thus prevents contamination of the pivot bearing of the base 2.

Zur Fixierung des Kragens 5 ist der Kragen 5 bevorzugt in einer Nut einer die Mantelfläche 24 des Sockels 2 umrandenden Lippe 26 gehalten.To fix the collar 5, the collar 5 is preferably held in a groove in a lip 26 surrounding the lateral surface 24 of the base 2.
