Description

Technical field

[0001] The present invention mainly relates to a live chicken sorting device. [Background Technology]

[0002] With the rapid development of social economy, people's demand for meat products is increasing, which makes the scale of animal husbandry larger and larger. Animal husbandry is the use of domesticated animals such as livestock and poultry, through artificial breeding and reproduction, so that they can convert plant energy such as grass and feed into animal energy. In the process of poultry farming, it is necessary to sort the live chickens that are released and group the live chickens of the same weight range together. Therefore, live chicken sorting equipment has been developed on the market. It mainly uses a weighing scale in conjunction with a conveying device to place the weighed live chickens on each conveying device for grouping. However, most of the existing live chicken sorting equipment is horizontally set, which occupies a large space volume. In view of this, we have improved the live chicken sorting equipment, especially the conveying part, to reduce the space volume occupied and avoid damaging the live chickens. [Summary of the invention]

[0003] In order to solve the problem that the existing horizontal live chicken sorting equipment takes up too much space, the present invention proposes a new live chicken sorting equipment, which adopts the following technical solutions:

[0004] A live chicken sorting device comprises a frame, a conveying frame, a conveyor belt and a blanking sorting bucket, wherein the cross section of the conveyor belt is a closed loop, and the conveying frame is obliquely connected to the frame;

[0005] The conveyor belt is provided with a plurality of plate slots, the plate slot walls are provided with insertion holes, each plate slot is provided with a right-angle baffle, and connecting posts are extended on both sides of the right-angle baffle, which are connected to the insertion holes through the connecting posts so that the right-angle baffle rotates with the connecting posts as the axis;

[0006] The conveyor frame includes side plates and a top cover, bearing seats are installed at both ends of the side plates, and the bearing seats are connected to a transmission shaft, the end surface of the transmission shaft is provided with ridges, and the inner side surface of the conveyor belt is provided with teeth and grooves, the ridges are meshed with the teeth and grooves, and the transmission shaft is equipped with a motor to drive the transmission shaft to drive the conveyor belt to rotate;

[0007] The end surface of the side plate is provided with a protruding touch bar, which is located in the conveyor belt. The touch bar is in active contact with the right-angle baffle to push the right-angle baffle to flip, and adjacent right-angle baffles form a storage cavity.

[0008] As a further solution of the present invention, there are two groups of side panels, and the two groups of side panels are separated to form a lifting cavity. The conveyor belt is placed in the lifting cavity, and the two ends of the conveyor belt are respectively connected to the drive shafts at the two ends of the side panels; the top ends of the two groups of side panels are connected to the top of the frame, and the bottom ends of the two groups of side panels are connected and fixed together by a docking plate.

[0009] As a further solution of the present invention, the conveyor belt and the right-angle baffle are both made of PU material, and the right-angle baffle and the conveyor belt are detachable assembly structures.

[0010] As a further solution of the present invention, the right-angle baffle is an integrated structure, which is composed of two plates vertically connected. The thickness of the plate is consistent with the thickness of the conveyor belt, and the size of a single plate corresponds to the size of the plate groove.

[0011] As a further solution of the present invention, the touch bar has a rounded corner, and the plate in contact with the touch bar flips along the rounded corner.

[0012] As a further solution of the present invention, the frame has a through hole, the blanking and sorting bucket is installed in the through hole, and the blanking and sorting bucket is an integrated structure.

[0013] As a further solution of the present invention, the blanking and sorting bucket includes a feed part and a discharge part, the feed part is located at the top of the frame, and the feed part is close to the transmission belt relative to the discharge part; the blanking and sorting bucket has a feed cavity, and an elastic component is installed in the feed cavity, and the elastic component is located between the feed part and the discharge part.

[0014] As a further solution of the present invention, the elastic component includes a vertical plate, an elastic push plate and a supporting edge. The vertical plate and the supporting edge are located at both ends of the elastic push plate, and the elastic component is an integrated structure.

[0015] As a further solution of the present invention, the vertical plate located in the material passage cavity faces the top of the conveyor belt, an angle is formed between the elastic push plate and the vertical plate, and the elastic push plate is close to the discharge portion relative to the vertical plate.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention compared with the background technology are as follows:

[0017] The present invention comprises a frame, a transmission seat frame, a conveyor belt and a blanking and sorting bucket, wherein the transmission belt cooperates with the transmission seat frame to form an inclined transmission mode, which greatly reduces the space occupied. The conveyor belt utilizes a movable right-angled baffle structure. When connected to the contact bar, the baffle remains fixed, supporting the live chickens as they are transported to the sorting hopper. After passing the drive shaft, the baffle disengages the contact bar and becomes active. As the conveyor belt moves, it shakes, shaking off debris from the baffle. The live chickens then fall onto the inclined elastic push plate, which first mitigates the impact of the chickens before sliding down along their end faces. The elastic member is a sheet-like structure, and the vertical plate and the push plate form an angle. This angle decreases as the plate receives the live chickens, converting kinetic energy into elastic potential energy. By the time the chickens reach the support edge, the elastic potential energy is at its maximum, allowing the push plate to reset and push the chickens out of the discharge section. This also reduces collision injuries when receiving live chickens. The design offers advantages such as simple structure, excellent performance, easy disassembly, and rational design, making it a product with superior technical and economic performance.

[0029] The following description of the embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to further describe the specific embodiments of the present invention so that the technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention will be more clearly understood. The following description of the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings is illustrative and intended to explain the present invention, but is not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0030] With the large-scale production and breeding in China, live chicken sorting equipment can solve the problem of manual labor in the industry, while reducing the production area. Using machinery instead of manual labor can reduce cost expenditure, improve production efficiency, and accelerate the automation process of breeding and sorting equipment. The preferred embodiment provided by the present invention is as follows: Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a live chicken sorting device includes a frame 1, a conveying seat frame 2, a conveyor belt 3 and a blanking sorting bucket 4. The cross-section of the conveyor belt 3 is a closed loop. The conveying seat frame 2 is obliquely connected to the frame 1 and the two are locked by screws.

[0031] The conveyor belt 3 is provided with a number of plate grooves 31, and the wall of the plate groove 31 is provided with a socket 32. The socket 32 ​​is located at the end of the plate groove 31 to facilitate the flipping of the right-angle baffle 6. Each plate groove 31 has a right-angle baffle 6 built in. Connecting columns 61 extend from both sides of the right-angle baffle 6, which are connected to the socket 32 ​​through the connecting columns 61 so that the right-angle baffle 6 can rotate with the connecting columns 61 as the axis. In a further solution, the right-angle baffle 6 of the transmission belt can be equipped with a weight sensor to improve the accuracy of sorting and metering.

[0032] The conveying seat frame 2 includes side panels 21 and a top cover 22. The side panels 21 are provided with folded edges 33 for easy screw connection with the top cover. Bearing seats 23 are installed at both ends of the side panels 21. The bearing seats 23 are connected to the transmission shaft 24. The end faces of the transmission shaft 24 are provided with ridges 25, and the inner side faces of the conveyor belt 3 are provided with tooth grooves 26. The ridges 25 are engaged with the tooth grooves 26. The transmission shaft 24 is equipped with a motor to drive the transmission shaft 24 to drive the conveyor belt 3 to rotate. The conveyor belt 3 is in a closed ring shape as a whole, so the conveyor belt rotates (rotates in a closed ring manner) under the drive of the transmission shaft 24.

[0033] The end face of the side panel 21 is provided with a protruding touch bar 27, and the touch bar 27 is located inside the conveyor belt 3. The position of the touch bar 27 is adjusted according to actual conditions, but it should be ensured that it can touch the right-angle baffle 6, so that the touch bar 27 can be movably contacted with the right-angle baffle 6 to push the right-angle baffle 6 to flip, and the adjacent right-angle baffles 6 form a storage cavity 62.

[0034] There are two groups of side panels 21, and the two groups of side panels 21 are separated to form a lifting chamber 28. The conveyor belt 3 is placed in the lifting chamber 28, and the two ends of the conveyor belt 3 are respectively connected to the drive shafts 24 at the two ends of the side panels 21; the top ends of the two groups of side panels 21 are connected to the top of the frame 1, and the bottom ends of the two groups of side panels 21 are connected and fixed together through a docking plate 29.

[0035] The conveyor belt 3 and right-angle baffle 6 are both made of polyurethane (PU). The right-angle baffle 6 and conveyor belt 3 are detachably assembled. The clearance between the connecting post 61 and the socket 32 ​​facilitates assembly and rotation of the right-angle baffle 6. The right-angle baffle 6 is a one-piece structure, consisting of two vertically connected plates. The thickness of the plates matches that of the conveyor belt 3, and the dimensions of each plate correspond to those of the plate slot 31, ensuring that the plate can be rotated to fill the plate slot 31 after being flipped. The contact bar 27 has a rounded corner 34, and the plate in contact with the contact bar 27 flips along the rounded corner, making the flipping of the right-angle baffle smoother.

[0036] The frame 1 has a through hole 11, into which the blanking and sorting hopper 4 is mounted. The blanking and sorting hopper 4 is an integrated structure. The blanking and sorting hopper 4 includes an inlet 43 and a discharge 44. The inlet 43 is located at the top of the frame 1 and is closer to the drive belt than the discharge 44. The blanking and sorting hopper 4 has a feed cavity 45, within which an elastic member 5 is mounted. The elastic member 5 is located between the inlet 43 and the discharge 44.

[0037] The elastic member 5 comprises a vertical plate 51, an elastic contact and push plate 52, and a support edge 53. The vertical plate 51 and the support edge 53 are located at either end of the elastic push plate, forming an integral structure. The vertical plate 51, located in the feed chamber 45, faces the top of the conveyor belt 3. The elastic contact and push plate 52 and the vertical plate 51 form an acute angle A, and the elastic contact and push plate 52 is closer to the discharge portion 44 than the vertical plate 51. The elastic member 5 is mainly used to receive the live chickens that fall from the conveyor belt 3. The conveyor belt 3 is provided on the conveyor frame 2. One end of the conveyor frame 2 is fixed to the top of the frame 1. If the frame 1 is too high, the live chickens that fall from the top of the frame 1 into the sorting bucket 4 are easily injured. Therefore, it is necessary to set up protective measures. In this structure, an elastic member 5 is added. Both ends of the vertical plate 51 are screwed to the wall of the feed part 43 to ensure that the live chickens that fall into the feed cavity 45 are received by the elastic push plate 52. The angle A between the vertical plate 51 and the elastic push plate 52 is an acute angle, so that the elastic push plate 52 The push plate 52 is inclined in the feeding chamber 45; when the live chicken falls onto the inclined elastic push plate 52, the elastic push plate 52 first reduces the impact of the live chicken and slides down along the end face of the elastic push plate 52. The elastic component 5 is a sheet-like structure as a whole, and the vertical plate 51 and the elastic push plate 52 have an angle A. Therefore, the elastic push plate 52 begins to reduce the angle A when receiving the live chicken, converting kinetic energy into elastic potential energy. When the live chicken slides to the supporting edge 53, the elastic potential energy is basically the largest, so that the elastic push plate 52 can be used again to reset and push the live chicken out of the discharge part 44, thereby achieving the purpose of receiving and pushing.
