Embodiment Construction

[0020] Embodiments of the offset weighing apparatus are shown in the drawings and disclosed in the following detailed description and claims. With reference to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1-8 A weighing device 152 is shown embodying one aspect of the disclosed subject matter. A weighing device 152 is used with the diverter assembly 102 . The diverter assembly 102 diverts the shackle assembly 206 depending from the conveyor line 204 and the poultry carcasses 240 suspended from the shackle assembly 206 laterally away from below the conveyor line 204 or away from the implement to allow for The carcass 240 is weighed by the force sensor as the ring assembly 206 continues to move along the conveyor assembly 202 . The diverter assembly 102 is located adjacent to a transmission line 204 or tool. The tools may be any form of poultry processing tool including wing cutters, precutters, front half cutters, tail cutters, leg cutters, saddle splitters, shanks and thighs Drum and...

Abstract

An offset weighing apparatus (152) and method for use with poultry processing equipment includes a weigh assembly to weigh an animal connected to a shackle assembly (206) as the shackle moves in contact with a force sensor (154) along a conveyor line (204). A diverter assembly (102) laterally displaces a shackle retaining the animal from below the conveyor line into engagement with the force sensor. The bending axis of the force sensor is approximately parallel to the displaced shackle. The angular position of the bending axis and shackle, and relative positions, friction, and forces of the components of the shackle assembly and weigh assembly are analyzed to calculate the weight of the animal connected to the shackle without removing the animal from the shackle or ceasing movement of theconveyor line.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Application No. 62 / 323,442, filed April 15, 2016, entitled Offset Weighing Apparatus, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The disclosed subject matter generally relates to weighing apparatus, and more particularly, to an offset weighing apparatus for weighing an animal suspended from a shackle. Background technique [0004] Animals handled in large processing systems go through a variety of tools and processing equipment. In poultry processing systems, as the poultry move between processing stations, the poultry are hung on a shackle assembly connected to a conveyor system during a portion of the processing operation. An automated process determines which poultry carcasses are processed at a particular processing station. Weigh poultry carcasses at various points during processing. The traditional method involves meas...
