In the embodiment of the present invention, the anchor seat fixture includes a support unit 51 disposed on the side of the stacked guard seat and both ends of the support unit 51 are extended to bend toward the seat left side elastic portion (53, 55). The elastic parts 53 and 55 may maintain the stacked state of the egg seat by applying an elastic force in a direction in which they are collected from each other in the upper and lower portions of the stacked egg seat. It is preferable that the support seat 51 is made relatively thin as such a left seat fixture. And in the embodiment of the present invention, it is preferable that two or four fasteners are used while pairing each other. In FIG. 9, one example of a left seat fastener will be described. The elastic parts 53 and 55 of the dwarf fixture have a structure in which an elastic force acts in a direction in which the distance D decreases (the direction of gathering with each other) so that the dwarf can be fitted therebetween. This embodiment of the present invention is to show that the simple seat fixture can be manufactured and manufactured.

When the process of sterilizing, half-boiling or ripening eggs according to the embodiment of the present invention described in detail as follows.

First, an egg is placed between the convex portions 1 of the egg seat (S1, see also). The egg chamber is on the side of the round part of the egg, and it is more preferable to place the egg between the convex portions 1 of the egg seat so that the air cell (ac; air cell) faces downward. As such, arranging the eggs in the downward direction may increase the drying efficiency by spreading the fluid such as water, steam, and the washing liquid in the shell of the egg as much as possible during the washing or processing in the fluid. (When the egg is turned up when processing eggs, the pointed part of the egg faces down and the liquid gathers at the lowest point by gravity and takes a long time to dry). And the egg is disposed between the convex portions 1 of the egg seat so that a portion of the side of the egg is inserted into the egg insertion hole (1b) provided in the convex portion (1). The arrangement structure of the egg is to minimize the contact area between the egg and the egg so that the heating or drying process such as sterilization, washing, washing, half-boiling, ripening, etc. can be performed quickly. And the eggs are placed in the state of maintaining the bottom and space (S, shown in Figure 2) of the egg yolk. In this way, the eggs are placed on the egg yolk and the egg yolks are placed in multiple stages (S3). Usually, the stacking of the egg yolk can be performed in two to eighteen stages, and the number of the stacked egg yolks is not determined and can be varied as necessary. And the stacked oocytes are fixed using an oocyte fixator (S5). The method of fixing a stacked oasis using an oocyte fixator may include the first member 21 disposed on the bottom and both sides of the oocyte seat as described in the above-described configuration of the oocyte fixer, and the second member 25 from the upper side. ) Is fixed to the engaging portion 21b of the first member 21 (see Fig. 6). And to wash the eggs arranged in a stacked egg stack state (S7). At this time, the eggs are washed in a gas (including water vapor) or a liquid, or a gas or a liquid is injected. The washed eggs are heated for sterilization, ripening and ripening (S9). When heating the egg, it is preferable to maintain the temperature of the heating source to be 11 degrees Celsius or more than the temperature of the egg. Maintaining the temperature difference between the egg and the heating source as described above is intended to prevent this because reverse osmosis may occur, which may be a condition that external harmful microorganisms may penetrate into the egg. According to the structure of the egg yolk mentioned in the embodiment of the present invention, the portion in contact with the egg yolk of the egg is arranged to minimize the heat transfer so that the heating process time can be further reduced.

Subsequently heated, the eggs are treated with sterilization, softening or ripening (S11). And the sterilized eggs are dried by adding a gas (S13). In the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, gas or liquid is quickly discharged through the holes 3a and the plurality of fluid discharge holes 3b and 1c of the supporting part 3 in the drying process, as well as minimizing the area of the egg in contact with the egg seat. It is to maximize the drying efficiency. In addition, in the drying process, the dwarfs stacked by the conventional rotating device may be rotated 180 degrees or 360 degrees in a form of changing up and down directions for quick drying. In this process, fluid such as water or steam, which is buried on the surface (egg) of a specific part of the egg, collects in one part of the lower part of the egg due to gravity, and spreads evenly throughout the whole without the problem of time-consuming drying. . The shortening of drying time in the drying process reduces the infection of harmful microorganisms from the outside and increases the productivity.Increasing the drying efficiency reduces the waiting time for the post-coating process and the efficiency of the coating process itself, It is to improve stability.

After drying, the coating (S15). Eggs with eggshells are placed in eggshells to be washed or heated in gas (including water vapor) or liquids, and the eggshell's cuticles can be dissolved or damaged in the gas or liquid involved in the processing, and the eggs can be infected by harmful microorganisms. The possibility is very high and therefore it is desirable to carry out the coating process before packaging. To this end, the eggs are coated with edible mineral oil to replace damaged cuticles. Through this coating process it is possible to further increase the safety of the egg.

After the coating process, the eggs are inspected (S17) and cooled (S19). The inspection process is illustrated in FIG. 4 as being performed after the coating process, but the present invention is not limited thereto and may be performed from time to time. Particularly, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the egg bed is made of transparent synthetic resin material having transparency, the light is transmitted to the inside of the egg so that the light is transmitted in a large amount so that the inside and outside of the egg may be easily inspected. will be. Of course, in the description of this embodiment, the inspection step (S17) of the egg is to inspect the breakage of the egg that may occur in the process of heating the egg. And package (S21).

As described above, the present invention enables rapid drying or shortening the coating process so that the eggs do not leave moisture before the packaging process when the eggs are washed in liquid or gas (including water vapor), sterilized, half-boiled, and ripened, and the eggs are washed. , Sterilization, half-boiling, ripening process can reduce the working time, and can process the egg in a large amount has the effect of improving the productivity. In addition, it reduces the infection of external harmful microorganisms due to cuticle damage that prevents the infection of microorganisms from the outside, thereby increasing the stability and marketability required as food.

In addition, the present invention can easily screen the defective eggs using a light-transmissive egg yolk can prevent the egg from cracked or decomposed defective eggs on the market to further increase the safety as food It works.
