Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a cleaning process for processing collagen sausage casings. Background Technology

[0002] Collagen casings are often made from animal hides, such as cowhide or pigskin. During the processing of collagen casings, the animal hides need to be cleaned. Currently, when cleaning animal hides, cleaning solution is usually only sprayed onto the two sides of the hide, without rubbing the sides. The cleaning efficiency and effectiveness need to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cleaning process for collagen casing processing, which uses a cleaning device to clean livestock hides; the livestock hides are cowhide or pigskin; the cleaning device is equipped with: a flat upper scrubbing plate with spray nozzles and rubbing strips on the bottom surface, and a flat lower scrubbing plate with spray nozzles and rubbing strips on the top surface; the livestock hide is stretched flat between the upper and lower scrubbing plates; cleaning solution is sprayed onto the livestock hide through the spray nozzles on the bottom surface of the upper scrubbing plate and the top surface of the lower scrubbing plate; and during the process of spraying the cleaning solution onto the livestock hide, the livestock hide is rubbed by the rubbing strips on the bottom surface of the upper scrubbing plate and the top surface of the lower scrubbing plate; this can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of cleaning livestock hides.

[0004] For details of the present invention, please refer to the embodiments.

[0005] The advantages and beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: It provides a cleaning process for processing collagen casings, which can clean livestock hides and rub them during the cleaning process, thereby improving the efficiency and effectiveness of cleaning livestock hides and thus improving the product quality of collagen casings.

[0006] This invention involves inserting the animal hide through a left and a right insert rod, with the left insert rod inserted at the left end and the right insert rod at the right end. The left and right insert rods are then driven to move away from each other in a left-right direction, flattening the animal hide. Simultaneously, the upper and lower washboards are driven to move vertically closer together, clamping the flattened animal hide. Therefore, this invention can efficiently and quickly flatten and clamp the animal hide, facilitating subsequent kneading.

[0007] This invention uses a left steel wire that passes around the left pulley and a right steel wire that passes around the right pulley to link the upper and lower washboards together, so that the upper and lower washboards always move in opposite directions, thereby ensuring the stable implementation of kneading livestock hides.

[0008] In this invention, the left and right springs are always in a stretched state, and the left pulley is always located to the left of the left end face of the upper and lower washers, while the right pulley is always located to the right of the right end face of the upper and lower washers; this ensures the stable implementation of the linkage between the upper and lower washers.

[0019] The process of cleaning livestock hides 8 using a cleaning device includes the following steps:

[0020] The first motor 24 drives the screw 23 to rotate forward, causing the upper slider 21 and the lower slider 22 to move vertically away from each other along the vertical slide groove 2. The upper slider 21 drives the upper slide rail 31, the upper slide seat 32, and the upper washboard 33 to move upward, while the lower slider 22 drives the lower slide rail 41, the lower slide seat 42, and the lower washboard 43 to move downward, until the upper washboard 33 and the lower washboard 43 are vertically separated to a certain distance. During the process of the upper washboard 33 and the lower washboard 43 separating vertically, the upper washboard 33 and the lower washboard 43 are pulled to the right along the left slide groove 61 by the left steel wire rope 66, which pulls the left pulley 65 and the left slide seat 64. The upper washboard 33 and the lower washboard 43 pull the right pulley 75 and the right slide block 74 to the left along the right slide groove 71 via the right wire rope 76, so that the left pulley 65 and the right pulley 75 move closer to each other in the left and right direction until the left pulley 65 and the right pulley 75 are close to a certain distance; then the left slide block 62 is pushed to the right end of the left slide groove 61 and the right slide block 72 is pushed to the left end of the right slide groove 71; then the livestock hide 8 is inserted into the left insertion rod 63 and the right insertion rod 73, with the left insertion rod 63 inserted into the left end of the livestock hide 8 and the right insertion rod 73 inserted into the right end of the livestock hide 8;

[0021] Then, the first motor 24 drives the screw 23 to reverse, causing the upper slider 21 and the lower slider 22 to move closer to each other vertically along the vertical slide groove 2. The upper slider 21 drives the upper slide rail 31, the upper slide seat 32, and the upper washboard 33 to move downwards, while the lower slider 22 drives the lower slide rail 41, the lower slide seat 42, and the lower washboard 43 to move upwards, causing the upper washboard 33 and the lower washboard 43 to move closer to each other vertically. During the process of the upper washboard 33 and the lower washboard 43 moving closer to each other vertically, the left spring 68 pulls the left slide seat 64 and the left pulley 65 to the left along the left slide groove 61, and the right spring 78 pulls the right slide seat 74 and the right pulley 75 to the right along the right slide groove 71, causing the left slide seat 64 and the right slide seat 74 to move away from each other in the left and right directions. As the left and right sliding blocks 64 and 74 move away from each other in the left and right directions, the left sliding block 64 pulls the left slider 62 and the left insertion rod 63 to the left along the left slide groove 61 via the left elastic rope 67, and the right sliding block 74 pulls the right slider 72 and the right insertion rod 73 to the right along the right slide groove 71 via the right elastic rope 77, so that the left insertion rod 63 and the right insertion rod 73 move away from each other in the left and right directions; until the left insertion rod 63 and the right insertion rod 73 flatten the livestock hide 8 in the left and right directions, at which point the livestock hide 8 is placed flat between the upper rubbing board 33 and the lower rubbing board 43; and at this time, the upper rubbing strip 34 on the bottom surface of the upper rubbing board 33 is in contact with the top surface of the livestock hide 8, and the lower rubbing strip 44 on the top surface of the lower rubbing board 43 is in contact with the bottom surface of the livestock hide 8;

[0022] Then, the cleaning fluid is delivered to the upper scrubbing plate 33 through the upper supply hose 36 and to the lower scrubbing plate 43 through the lower supply hose 46; the upper spray nozzle 35 on the bottom surface of the upper scrubbing plate 33 sprays the cleaning fluid onto the top surface of the livestock hide 8, and the lower spray nozzle 45 on the top surface of the lower scrubbing plate 43 sprays the cleaning fluid onto the bottom surface of the livestock hide 8.

[0023] Furthermore, during the process of spraying cleaning liquid onto the top and bottom surfaces of the livestock hide 8, the second motor 55 drives the drive wheel 54 to rotate in both directions. The drive wheel 54 drives the lifting rod 51 to move back and forth left and right through the connecting rod 53 and the sliding sleeve 52. The lifting rod 51 drives the upper scrubbing plate 33 and the upper sliding seat 32 to move back and forth left and right along the upper sliding rail 31. When the upper scrubbing plate 33 moves to the right, it pulls the lower scrubbing plate 43 and the lower sliding seat 42 to the left along the lower sliding rail 41 through the left steel wire rope 66. When the upper scrubbing plate 33 moves to the left, it pulls the lower scrubbing plate 43 and the lower sliding seat 42 to the right along the lower sliding rail 41 through the right steel wire rope 76. Therefore, the left and right directions of the upper scrubbing plate 33 and the lower scrubbing plate 43 are always opposite. The upper rubbing strip 34 on the bottom surface of the upper scrubbing plate 33 and the lower rubbing strip 44 on the top surface of the lower scrubbing plate 43 can rub the livestock hide 8, which can improve the efficiency and effect of cleaning the livestock hide 8.

[0024] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.

The upper slider moves the upper slide rail, upper slide seat, and upper washboard upward, while the lower slider moves the lower slide rail, lower slide seat, and lower washboard downward, until the upper and lower washboards are vertically separated to a certain distance. During the vertical separation of the upper and lower washboards, the upper and lower washboards pull the left pulley and left slide seat to the right along the left groove via the left steel wire rope, and pull the right pulley and right slide seat to the left along the right groove via the right steel wire rope, causing the left and right pulleys to move closer to each other in the left and right directions, until the left and right pulleys are close to a certain distance. Then, the left slider is pushed to the right end of the left groove, and the right slider is pushed to the left end of the right groove. Then, the animal hide is inserted into the left and right insert rods, with the left insert rod inserted into the left end of the animal hide and the right insert rod inserted into the right end of the animal hide. Then, the first motor drives the screw to reverse, causing the upper and lower sliders to move vertically closer together along the vertical slide groove. The upper slider moves the upper slide rail, upper slide block, and upper washboard downwards, while the lower slider moves the lower slide rail, lower slide block, and lower washboard upwards, causing the upper and lower washboards to move vertically closer together. During this process, the left spring pulls the left slide block and left pulley to the left along the left slide groove, while the right spring pulls the right slide block and right pulley to the right along the right slide groove, causing the left and right slide blocks to move away from each other in the left-right direction. As the slide blocks move away from each other in the left and right directions, the left slide block pulls the left slider and left insertion rod to the left along the left slide groove via the left elastic rope, and the right slide block pulls the right slider and right insertion rod to the right along the right slide groove via the right elastic rope, so that the left and right insertion rods move away from each other in the left and right directions; until the left and right insertion rods flatten the livestock hide in the left and right directions, at which point the livestock hide is placed flat between the upper and lower washboards; and at this time, the upper kneading strip on the bottom surface of the upper washboard is in contact with the top surface of the livestock hide, and the lower kneading strip on the top surface of the lower washboard is in contact with the bottom surface of the livestock hide; Then, the cleaning fluid is delivered to the upper scrubbing board through the upper supply hose and to the lower scrubbing board through the lower supply hose; the upper spray nozzle on the bottom surface of the upper scrubbing board sprays the cleaning fluid onto the top surface of the animal hide, and the lower spray nozzle on the top surface of the lower scrubbing board sprays the cleaning fluid onto the bottom surface of the animal hide. Furthermore, during the process of spraying cleaning liquid onto the top and bottom surfaces of livestock hides, the second motor drives the drive wheel to rotate in both directions. The drive wheel drives the lifting rod to move back and forth left and right through the connecting rod and sliding sleeve. The lifting rod drives the upper washboard and upper sliding seat to move back and forth left and right along the upper sliding rail. When the upper washboard moves to the right, it pulls the lower washboard and lower sliding seat to the left along the lower sliding rail through the left steel wire rope. When the upper washboard moves to the left, it pulls the lower washboard and lower sliding seat to the right along the lower sliding rail through the right steel wire rope. Therefore, the left and right directions of the upper and lower washboards are always opposite. The upper rubbing strips on the bottom surface of the upper washboard and the lower rubbing strips on the top surface of the lower washboard can rub the livestock hides. It can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of cleaning livestock hides.
