Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of poultry slaughtering, and in particular to a blade for separating meat and bones from poultry wings, a system using the blade, and a safe and cut-proof poultry wing cutting production line having the system. Background Art
[0002] In the field of poultry slaughtering, various automatic production lines have been widely used. Most of these production lines can realize the function of cutting different parts of poultry to provide to different consumers. The side wings generally refer to the shoulder blade part of the chicken, and its main part is arranged on both sides of the chicken spine. In actual production and sales, the side wings are generally required to be cut off and arranged into a shape similar to chicken wings. In the early stage of side wing processing, it was necessary to use manual cutting to cut the side wings from the chicken skeleton, and further use hand-tearing to separate the side wings from the spine. This manual cutting method is inefficient and labor-intensive.
[0003] In order to overcome the problem of low efficiency of manual cutting, there have been public documents proposing a new type of companion wing cutting machine, the core idea of which is to set up multiple pairs of different types of blades with different placement positions, and use a separation rod device to assist in separating the companion wings after cutting. Generally, these public documents require that each blade and separation rod need to be arranged in sequence on the assembly line according to its type and function, and they must also satisfy a specific spatial position relationship with each other, and the complexity of the mechanism is extremely complex; at the same time, the blades used in these public documents can only be cut horizontally in a single direction, and each blade is set to a different arrangement position so that the final cut part is approximately the shape of the companion wing, and it does not completely fit the structure of the companion wing for cutting, which will cause inaccurate cutting and waste of the companion wing part to a certain extent. If there is a blade or an integrated system that can process the companion wing at one time, it will greatly save the company's equipment procurement, installation, and maintenance costs.
[0004] At the same time, in the automated cutting line of companion wings, in order to fix the companion wings, a plurality of sharp serrated tooth plates are generally arranged along the transportation direction of the production line. After the upstream companion wings are processed, workers need to manually turn the head of the companion wings toward the transportation direction of the production line and insert the bottom of the companion wings downward on the tooth plates, so that the companion wings can be fixed on the production line and transmitted to each cutting knife group for cutting. However, the transmission speed of the production line is extremely high, and these high-speed moving tooth plates will be transformed into high-speed electric saws, which greatly endangers the life safety of workers. Even if workers wear protective gloves to work, the tooth plates will still cut the workers' gloves and further injure the workers' hands. Therefore, if there is a system that can automatically fix the companion wings from upstream (wherein the head direction of the companion wings can be controlled by the upstream production line) to the tooth plates, the production line with such a system will be able to greatly reduce the accident rate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0034] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.
[0035] For the convenience of description, in the companion wing cutting system 300 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the companion wing knife 200 is described as being followed by the companion wing separation knife 320 to further separate the flesh and bones of the cut companion wing. However, those skilled in the art can understand that the downstream of the companion wing knife 200 does not necessarily need to be subsequently processed by the companion wing separation knife 320, and it can also be cascaded with various separation devices in the prior art. For example, it can be cascaded with a separation device having multiple sets of separation rods.
[0036] Similarly, for the purpose of explanation, the companion wing knife 200 and the companion wing separation knife 320 in the embodiment of the present application are fixed to an appropriate tool holder by the cooperation of screws and screw mounting holes 211, but those skilled in the art can understand that the method for fixing the blade to the tool holder is not limited to screw fixing or thread fixing, as long as there is an appropriate method to fix the blade to the tool holder on the production line.
[0037] Similarly, for the purpose of explanation, in the companion wing cutting system 300 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the companion wing separation knife 320 is described as separating the flesh and bones of the companion wing 100 cut by the companion wing knife 200. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the companion wing separation knife 320 does not necessarily need to follow the companion wing knife 200, and it may also follow various cutting systems in the prior art, for example, in a multi-cutting blade system having multiple different types and deployed in different forms.
[0038] Similarly, for the purpose of explanation, the positioning system 410 provided in the embodiment of the present application is described as being cascaded with the cutting system 440 provided in the embodiment of the present application thereafter, but those skilled in the art will appreciate that the next level of the positioning system 410 may be cascaded with other systems. For example, in the field of wing cutting, a wing cutting system having multiple sets of blades and multiple sets of separation rods may be cascaded, or it may be cascaded with production lines in other fields - as long as the positioning system 410 can position and compact the poultry before they enter these production lines.
[0039] Similarly, for the purpose of illustration, the companion wings 100 of the embodiment of the present application are shown as chicken companion wings, but those skilled in the art can understand that the companion wing knife 200, companion wing cutting system 300, and production line 400 provided in the embodiment of the present application can be used to cut the companion wings of other poultry, and are not limited to cutting the chicken companion wings described in the embodiment of the present application.
[0040] Similarly, for the purpose of explanation, in the drawings of the embodiments of the present application, the cutting system 440 is shown as being visible to the user, but those skilled in the art will appreciate that each subsystem in the cutting system 440 may be provided with a closed housing to enclose it.
[0041] Figure 1a to Figure 1c A schematic diagram of a chicken wing is shown, consisting of Figure 1a It can be seen that the belly of the chicken wing has been cut open on the upstream production line, the internal organs have been removed, the chicken feet, tail and head have also been cut and removed, leaving the chicken spine 110 and the surrounding shoulder blade part, which is the chicken wing. In the actual meat consumption market, it is generally required to cut the wing into the shape of chicken legs to facilitate sales by manufacturers. Therefore, the cutting of the chicken wing is not simply cutting along the direction of the spine 110. The cutting line is roughly to cut from the spine 110 first, and then gradually deviate to the outside of the spine 110. Figure 1b and Figure 1c In the example, the cutting line of the companion wing is shown using the center line and in Figure 1c In the figure, it can be clearly seen that the shape formed by the center line and the edges on both sides of the chicken wing is similar to the shape of a chicken leg. For simplicity, the cutting line of the wing is shown as a straight line starting from the spine 110 and gradually offset to both sides, but the actual cutting line is extremely complex, so in the prior art, multiple sets of blades with different arrangements and types are required to cut the wing.
[0042] When the companion wing 100 needs to be separated from the flesh and bones by the companion wing knife 200, the companion wing 100 needs to be pre-processed, that is, the head of the companion wing 100 faces the transmission direction of the production line. In some cases, it is also necessary to pre-cut along the spine 110 of the companion wing 100; assuming that the spine 110 of the companion wing 100 has been pre-cut, when the companion wing 100 contacts the tip of the companion wing knife 200, that is, the first cutting edge 231, the fixed part 210 just corresponds to the cutting line of the spine 110 of the companion wing 100 in the previous cutting step; when the companion wing 100 continues to move forward, it will contact the second cutting edge 232, and the second cutting edge 232 will cut the companion wing obliquely; Figure 2b and Figure 2c Since the second cutting edge 232 continues to extend outward, the corresponding cutting line also continues to extend outward; when the companion wing 100 contacts the junction of the second cutting edge 232 and the first arc portion 221, the cutting depth is large enough, and no further cutting is required by any blade, and only the first arc portion 221 needs to cut along the existing cutting line.
[0043] Figure 2a to Figure 2d 2 is a view of the companion blade 200 installed on the left side of the blade holder according to an embodiment of the present application, and is shown as having two screw mounting holes 211. The center of the first arc portion 221 is located at the lower right, and the center of the second arc portion 222 is located at the upper left. The centers of the two arc portions are located on both sides of the main body of the companion blade 200. The first arc portion 221 extends counterclockwise, while the second arc portion 222 extends clockwise. Figure 2b , Figure 2d It can be seen that the first cutting edge 231 and the second cutting edge 232 have a common starting end point, the first cutting edge 231 extends in a vertical direction, and the second cutting edge 232 extends toward the side of the companion wing knife 200 until it reaches the first arc portion 221, and the second cutting edge has a certain inclination to cut the companion wing in accordance with the contour of the companion wing.
[0044] In one embodiment of the present application, the horizontal distance from the farthest end of the saddle portion 220 to the fixing portion 210 ranges from 15 mm to 60 mm;
[0045] In one embodiment of the present application, the distance between the bottom end of the saddle portion 220 and the top end of the fixing portion 210 ranges from 30 mm to 90 mm;
[0046] In one embodiment of the present application, the thickness of the companion blade 200 ranges from 1 mm to 5 mm;
[0047] In one embodiment of the present application, the radius of the first arc portion 221 is 10 mm, and the radius of the second arc portion 222 is 50 mm;
[0048] In one embodiment of the present application, the first slope is 15°, and the second slope is 10°;
[0049] In one embodiment of the present application, the horizontal distance from the farthest end of the saddle portion 220 to the fixed portion 210 is 32 mm;
[0050] In one embodiment of the present application, the distance between the bottom end of the saddle portion 220 and the top end of the fixing portion 210 is in the range of 56.9 mm;
[0051] In one embodiment of the present application, the thickness of the companion blade 200 is in the range of 2.5 mm.
[0052] Figure 3a to Figure 3c 3 is a view of the companion wing separation knife 320 in the embodiment of the present application, Figure 3d This is an engineering view of a wing-separating knife in one embodiment of the present application, on which the dimensions of the wing-separating knife are marked. Figure 3a In the figure, it can be seen that the blade 3220 is an inclined plane, which is to fit the inclined cutting line of the companion wing 100 and also facilitate the sideways tilting of the companion wing 100 after the separation of the flesh and bones. In contrast to the companion wing knife 200, the companion wing separation knife 320 does not need to strictly fit the dividing line between the companion wing 100 and the spine 110, but only needs to fit roughly, and the incomplete fit is conducive to hindering the advancement of the companion wing 100 and separating it from the spine 110. Figure 3d As shown, the blade 3221 of the companion wing separation knife has an inclination of 10°, but is not sharpened. This is because the companion wing 100 itself has been cut, and sharpening the blade will not hinder the advancement of the companion wing 100; when the companion wing 100 has advanced to the oblique fold portion 3230, the companion wing 100 with a larger cross-sectional area will be blocked by the oblique fold portion 3230, while the spine 110 will pass through Figure 3d The gap between the oblique fold portion 3230 and the mounting portion 3210 shown in the top view continues to advance.
[0053] exist Figure 3dIn the embodiment shown, it can be seen that the various parameters of the companion wing separation knife 320 of this embodiment are (the numerical results are accurate to integers): the angle between the blade body 3220 and the mounting part 3210 is 110°; the length of the companion wing separation knife blade 3221 is 136mm, the length of the horizontal projection is 130mm, and the slope is 10°; the angle between the oblique folded part 3230 and the horizontal plane is 80°, the length is 60mm, and the height is 15mm; the length of the companion wing knife holder 310 is 131mm and the height is 20mm; the vertical height from the mounting part 3210 to the bottom end of the companion wing separation knife blade 3221 is 46mm; the vertical distance from the bottom end of the third arc part 3222 to the top end of the mounting part 3210 is 24mm; the length from the bottom of the oblique folded part 3230 to the horizontal projection of the companion wing separation knife blade 3221 is 156mm; the length of the companion wing separation knife 320 is 168mm.
[0054] Figures 4a to 4c The companion wing cutting system 300 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes the companion wing knife 200 and the companion wing separation knife 320 provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 4a as well as Figure 4c It can be seen that the companion wing knife 200 and the companion wing separation knife 320 both include a left knife and a right knife, and Figure 4b In the embodiment, the companion wing knife 200 and the companion wing separation knife 320 are connected to the companion wing knife holder 310 by screws.
[0055] Figure 5a to Figure 5c It is a production line 400 provided in an embodiment of the present application, on which a positioning system 410 and a companion wing cutting system 300 provided in an embodiment of the present application are integrated.
[0056] In some cases, the positioning system 410 is not necessary, and its installation depends on the user's requirements for cost and equipment complexity. In the absence of the positioning system 410, workers are required to manually place the companion wing 100 on the conveying system 450, specifically, the head of the companion wing 100 faces the conveying direction of the production line 400, and the belly of the companion wing 100 is inserted into the tooth plate 452. Figure 6 A close-up of the tooth plate 452 installed on the transmission chain 451 is shown. Since the sawtooth shape of the tooth plate 452 itself is easy to threaten the safety of the workers' hands, and the transmission chain 451 moves at a very high speed, the workers may easily put their hands near the moving tooth plate 452 without paying attention, and thus be injured or even have their fingers cut off by the high-speed moving tooth plate 452. The significance of the positioning system 410 is that it allows the entire process of the production line to be carried out safely, and further improves the automation level of the slaughtering production line and reduces the need for manual operation.
[0057] The upstream production line can roughly control the direction of the companion wing 100. For example, the upstream production line can simultaneously clamp the companion wing 100 of a chicken piece so that its head faces forward, and then directly release the companion wing 100, so that the companion wing 100 falls with its head facing forward.
[0058] When the companion wing 100 of the upstream production line falls, it is necessary to compact it in time to avoid changes in the direction of its abdomen and head. The function realized by the compaction system 420 is to compact the companion wing 100 on the track 411. The compaction system 420 has a sensor 422. The sensor 422 can be, for example, a light sensor, which determines whether a companion wing 100 has fallen by detecting changes in the reflected light intensity; when it is determined that a companion wing 100 has fallen, the sensor 422 controls the compaction plate 423 to approach the track 411 by controlling the crankshaft connecting rod 424, thereby compacting the companion wing 100. In order to prevent the companion wing 100 from getting stuck on the track 411 when sliding onto the conveying system 450, an active drive mechanism is also required to push the companion wing 100 to move toward the conveying system 450. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application also provides a belt conveyor system 412 wrapped by a shell 4121 in the positioning system 410. See. Figure 7a , which shows a belt conveyor system 412 with a housing 4121 hidden. It can be seen from the figure that the belt conveyor system 412 is located above the track 411 as a whole, and a groove 4122 is also opened at the bottom of the belt conveyor system 412. Figure 7b As shown, the plate-like protrusion 41231 on the outer edge of the belt 412 can pass through the groove 4122. Through the contact between the plate-like protrusion 41231 and the companion wing 100 and the rotation of the belt 412, the companion wing 100 can pass through the track 411 unimpeded without being stuck on the track 411 due to, for example, friction with the track 411.
[0059] When the companion wing 100 slides to the end of the positioning system 410, it has been compacted on the conveying system 450 in the direction of transportation with its belly facing downward and its head facing the production line 400. Under the conveying of the conveying system 450, the companion wing 100, as described above, first passes through the circular knife cutting system 441 to achieve the preliminary cutting of the spine 110; then passes through the companion wing cutting system 300 to achieve the complete separation of the companion wing 100 and the spine 110. The companion wing 100, as described above, will naturally fall from the blade 3220 and then reach the companion wing discharge port 431; the spine 110 will continue to move to the end of the rack system 430 along with the transmission chain 451, and then fall to the spine discharge port 432 at the end of the rack system 430.
[0060] The above is an explanation of the embodiments of the present application, but the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned implementation modes. Technical personnel familiar with the art may also make various equivalent modifications or substitutions under the shared conditions without violating the spirit of the present application. These equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included in the scope defined by the claims of the present application.
