Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of food processing equipment, in particular to a device for removing cartilage from tarsal joints of poultry claws. Background Art

[0002] Since there is a piece of cartilage at the tarsal joint (the junction of the metatarsal bone and the tibia) of poultry feet such as chicken feet and duck feet, and this cartilage is directly connected to the skin and flesh of the poultry feet, it needs to be removed first during the deboning process, otherwise it will affect the deboning effect and cause food waste. Although the joint cartilage removal device currently used can also achieve the effect of cartilage removal, there is a disadvantage in actual use: since the size and length of each batch of poultry feet are different, the distance between the end of the metatarsal bone and the deboning device is not consistent. When removing the cartilage, either the cartilage cannot be completely removed, or the knife easily scrapes the bone, resulting in poor use effect, so it still needs to be improved.

If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0023] In the description of the embodiments, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "disposed", "connected" and the like should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection, or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be a communication between two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances. Embodiment 1

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the poultry claw tarsal joint cartilage removal device in this embodiment includes a first connecting block 1, a second connecting block 2, a scraper block 3, a limit block 4 and an adjusting rod 5. The scraper block 3 is arranged at the front end of the first connecting block 1, and the rear end of the first connecting block 1 is connected to the upper end of the second connecting block 2. The first connecting block 1 and the second connecting block 2 can be a split structure, which is connected together by bolts, welding, etc., and can also adopt an integral molding structure, such as a casting, a stamping, etc.

[0025] The adjusting rod 5 is arranged below the first connecting block 1. The adjusting rod 5 in this embodiment is a threaded rod, which is threadedly connected to the second connecting block 2; the limit block 4 is arranged at the front end of the adjusting rod 5; the distance between the limit block 4 and the scraping block 3 can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting rod 5 to adapt to poultry claws of different specifications.

[0026] A sliding rod 6 is provided on one side of the lower end of the second connecting block 2, a sliding block 7 is sleeved on the outer side of the sliding rod 6, a stopper 8 is provided at the end of the sliding rod 6 located outside the sliding block 6, and an elastic member 9 is also provided on the outer side of the sliding rod 6 between the second connecting block 2 and the sliding block 7; wherein the elastic member 9 can be an elastic element such as a compression spring and a rubber sleeve. Embodiment 2

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the adjusting rod 5 adopts a smooth rod, and the side wall of the second connecting block 2 is provided with a top screw 21. The smooth rod passes through the second connecting block 2 and is locked by the top screw 21. The position of the smooth rod on the second connecting block 2 can be adjusted by loosening or tightening the top screw 21, thereby changing the distance between the limit block 4 and the scraper block 3. Embodiment 3

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a slide groove 12 is horizontally provided on the upper edge of the first connection block 1, and the adjustment rod 5 is longitudinally arranged in the slide groove 12, and the two ends of the adjustment rod 5 are respectively locked by a retaining ring 51 and a nut 52, wherein the outer diameters of the retaining ring 51 and the nut 52 are larger than the width of the slide groove 12. The position of the adjustment rod 5 on the first connection block 1 can be changed by loosening the nut 52, thereby changing the distance between the limit block 4 and the scraper block 3. Embodiment 4

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a sliding rod 6 is provided on the other side of the lower end of the second connecting block 2, a sliding block 7 is sleeved on the outer side of the sliding rod 6, a stopper 8 is provided at the end of the sliding rod 6 located on the outer side of the sliding block 6, and an elastic member 9 is also provided on the outer side of the sliding rod 6 between the second connecting block 2 and the sliding block 7; wherein the elastic member 9 can be an elastic element such as a tension spring, and when the end of the poultry claw abuts against the limit block 4, the tension spring can be pushed to stretch. Embodiment 5

[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom of the slider 7 is connected to a first drive unit 10 arranged horizontally, and the bottom of the first drive unit 10 is connected to a second drive unit 11 arranged vertically; wherein, the first drive unit 10 and the second drive unit 11 can be driven by a cylinder, an oil cylinder, a linear module or the like.

[0031] The working principle of the present invention is briefly described below in conjunction with the above embodiments:

[0032] When in use, the second drive unit 11 is used to move the entire device to a position above the end of the metatarsal bone of the poultry claw, and then the first drive unit 10 drives the entire device to approach one side of the metatarsal bone. When the limit block 4 abuts against the end of the metatarsal bone, the elastic member 9 is compressed backward, and then the second drive unit 11 moves downward, and the scraper block 3 is used to remove the cartilage from the end of the metatarsal bone.

[0033] Since the distance between the scraping block 3 and the limiting block 4 remains unchanged, the scraping block 3 can always remove the cartilage from the same position for the same batch of poultry feet; when replacing different batches of poultry feet, the adjusting rod 5 can be rotated to adjust the distance between the limiting block 4 and the scraping block 3 to adapt to poultry feet of different specifications, which can effectively improve the efficiency of cartilage deboning and avoid the waste of food caused by the involvement of skin and flesh by articular cartilage during the deboning process.

[0034] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not intended to limit the utility model. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in the field to implement; when the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the protection scope required by the utility model.
