Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of meat and poultry processing devices, in particular to a novel poultry depilation production line. Background Art

[0002] The processing of meat and poultry usually includes slaughtering, depilation and evisceration. As for the depilation process, small-scale depilation work is usually completed with the help of a depilatory machine, while large-scale depilation work is usually completed with the help of rosin glycerol ester (wax).

[0003] The patent document with application number CN201720725760.8 in the patent library discloses a centralized wax production line, and specifically discloses a circulating water wax flushing system and a wax melting and filtration system.

[0004] Among them, the circulating water wax flushing system is a closed water circulation passage composed of a circulating water recovery pool, a wax flushing water pipe, a wax pool and a wax collecting tank. It can be seen from its public content that the solid wax can be transported along the wax collecting tank to the lifting tank. Under the action of the lifting system, the solid wax is transported to the wax melting and filtration system, and the circulating water will flow back to the circulating water recovery pool through the water collecting tank. This setting method, when the solid wax is lifted, the smaller solid wax cannot be lifted and transported smoothly, resulting in this part of the solid wax debris still flowing from the water collecting tank to the circulating water recovery pool and continue to circulate with the circulating water. The accumulation of these debris will seriously affect the water circulation operation of the water pump. Based on this structure, although this problem can be avoided by setting a filter between the water collecting tank and the circulating water recovery pool, the filter can only play a certain blocking role for these debris, and still requires manual cleaning regularly, resulting in the water circulation operation cannot be completed automatically and efficiently.

[0005] As for the wax melting and filtration system disclosed by the company, the melting of solid wax is completed through several wax melting pools. At the same time, a primary filtration device and a secondary filtration device are installed inside the secondary wax melting pool and the tertiary wax melting pool respectively. The two-stage filtration devices are used to separate the floating hair in the solid wax. However, this direct filtration method through the filtration device still requires manual regular cleaning, which makes it impossible to complete the wax circulation operation automatically and efficiently. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to solve the technical problem that the centralized wax production line in the above background technology has a low degree of automation, especially the water circulation and wax circulation cannot efficiently and independently complete the slag and floating hair filtering work, the applicant has carried out an overall technical upgrade of the production line and provided a new poultry depilation production line.

[0007] The technical solutions of the present invention are as follows:

[0008] A new poultry depilation production line includes a transportation system, a depilation system, a water circulation system and a wax circulation system. The poultry body can be transported along the transportation system and the depilation work is completed by the depilation system. The water circulation system is used to collect and concentrate the solid wax after depilation. The wax circulation system is used to melt the solid wax and can transport the melted clean wax liquid back to the depilation system.

[0009] Specifically speaking about the structure of the transportation system and the depilation system, the transportation system includes a transportation line capable of transporting the poultry body, and the depilation system includes a wax dipping device, a cooling device and a dewaxing device. The transportation line is configured to drive the poultry body through the wax dipping device, the cooling device and the dewaxing device in sequence, and complete the wax dipping, cooling and dewaxing work in sequence.

[0010] Specifically speaking, the structure of the water circulation system includes a wax collecting pool, a wax delivery trough connected to the wax collecting pool at one end, and a wax flushing trough located on the lower side of the dewaxing device and connected to the wax delivery trough at one end. The solid wax can be transported from the wax flushing trough to the wax delivery trough, and then transported to the wax collecting pool in a centralized manner by the wax delivery trough.

[0011] As one of the core technical concepts of the present invention, the water circulation system also includes a first impurity removal device, which includes a clean water tank and a first filter cartridge horizontally arranged and rotatable on its upper side, a first guide vane spirally provided in the first filter cartridge, and an overflow trough provided on one side of the wax collecting tank, the outer end of the overflow trough extends from one end of the first filter cartridge into the first filter cartridge, and the water circulation system also includes a conveying pump group, which is configured to convey water in the clean water tank to the wax flushing trough and the end of the wax conveying trough away from the wax collecting tank. Based on this structure, a large volume of solid wax in the wax collecting tank can be transferred to the wax circulation system to complete the melting work, and some debris that cannot be transferred can flow along the overflow trough into the first filter cartridge, and under the rotation of the first filter cartridge, clean water will flow into the clean water tank and continue to complete the water circulation operation under the action of the conveying pump group, and the debris can be autonomously transported out from the end of the first filter cartridge away from the overflow trough under the action of the first guide vane, ensuring that the forward circulation operation can be carried out efficiently and autonomously.

[0012] Specifically speaking, the structure of the wax circulation system includes a lifting device, a wax melting device, a second impurity removal device, a sedimentation device and a wax separation device arranged in sequence. The lifting device is configured to lift the solid wax in the wax collection pool to the wax melting device, and complete the separation of wax liquid and floating hair through the second impurity removal device.

[0013] As another core technical concept of the present invention, the second impurity removal device includes a wax clean pool and a second filter cartridge horizontally arranged and rotatable on its upper side, a second guide vane is spirally provided in the second filter cartridge, the wax melting device includes a wax melting pool and a first wax overflow trough located on one side thereof, the outer end of the first wax overflow trough extends from one end of the second filter cartridge into the second filter cartridge, the sedimentation device is connected to the wax clean pool, and the wax separation device is configured to be able to transport the wax liquid in the sedimentation tank to the wax immersion device. On the basis of this structure, the melted wax liquid and floating hair can flow into the second filter cartridge together, and under the rotation of the second filter cartridge, the clean wax liquid will flow into the wax clean pool and after being precipitated by the sedimentation device, it will be transported back to the wax immersion device through the wax separation device to complete the wax circulation operation, and the floating hair in the wax liquid can be autonomously transported out of the second filter cartridge away from the end of the first wax overflow trough under the action of the second guide vane, ensuring that the forward circulation operation can be carried out efficiently and autonomously.

[0014] As described above, a novel poultry depilatory production line is provided with multiple groups of depilatory systems to ensure the depilatory effect of the poultry body, and the transport line is configured to drive the poultry body to pass through several groups of depilatory systems in sequence.

[0015] As described above, a new poultry depilatory production line, in order to prevent floating hair from adhering to the inner wall of the second filter cartridge and ensure the filtering effect of the second filter cartridge, the wax circulation system also includes a hair flushing device arranged on one side of the wax clean pool. Specifically, the hair flushing device includes a hot water pool connected to the lower part of the wax clean pool, and a wax flushing pump arranged on one side of the hot water pool. A hair flushing pipe connected to the wax flushing pump is provided on one side of the second filter cartridge and along the axial direction of the second filter cartridge. Through this arrangement, the floating hair adhering to the inner wall of the second filter cartridge can be effectively flushed away and smoothly transported out of the second filter cartridge under the action of the second guide vane. At the same time, the water used for hair flushing is the hot water at the bottom of the wax clean pool, so as to prevent the liquid wax from solidifying at the hair flushing position and ensure the hair flushing pipe's flushing effect on the floating hair on the inner wall of the second filter cartridge.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment, in order to further ensure the flushing effect of the flushing tube on the floating hair on the inner wall of the second filter cartridge, the flushing tube is arranged directly above the second filter cartridge, so that the flushing direction of the flushing tube is downward.

[0017] As described above, a new poultry depilatory production line, the wax dipping device includes a wax dipping pool, the outside of which is provided with a water level control mechanism. The water level control mechanism can be used to control the hot water level in the wax dipping pool, thereby controlling the liquid level of the wax liquid inside the wax dipping pool. While ensuring that the poultry body can be fully dipped in wax, the liquid level can be adjusted to prevent the head of the poultry body from being affected by the wax liquid, thereby ensuring the depilatory effect.

[0018] Specifically speaking about the structure of the water level control mechanism, the water level control mechanism includes a regulating tube whose one end is connected to the lower part of the wax immersion pool, which is rotatably connected to the wax immersion pool and the rotation plane is vertical. By rotating the regulating tube, under the action of the communication effect, the hot water level in the wax immersion pool can be controlled, thereby making the liquid level control of the wax liquid in the wax immersion pool more convenient.

[0019] As described above, in order to ensure the transportation effect of the solid wax along the wax conveying trough, the depth of the wax conveying trough is not less than 30 cm. Through this setting, the solid wax can be transported along the conveying trough in a floating state. This drifting transportation method is different from the method of directly using water flow to flush the solid wax for transportation. It is not affected by the impact force of the water flow (flow rate), ensuring that the solid wax can be transported smoothly along the conveying trough, thereby improving the transportation effect of the conveying trough on the solid wax.

[0020] As described above, a new poultry depilatory production line, with regard to the structure of the wax separation device, includes a wax delivery pipe connected to the sedimentation device, and a plurality of wax separation pipes arranged on the wax separation pipe corresponding to the plurality of wax immersion devices. A float valve is provided at the end of the wax separation pipe. On the basis of this structure, the wax separation device can automatically complete the distribution of wax liquid according to the amount of wax liquid in the wax immersion device. That is, when the amount of wax liquid in the wax immersion device is small, the float valve is opened to replenish wax liquid into the wax immersion device, and when the amount of wax liquid in the wax immersion device is large, the float valve is closed to stop replenishing wax liquid. The distribution of wax liquid is completed automatically to ensure that there is always sufficient wax liquid in the wax immersion device.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment, a heating tube is provided inside the wax delivery pipe along its length. The provision of the heating tube effectively prevents the wax liquid from solidifying inside the wax delivery pipe. Moreover, this method of directly arranging the heating tube inside the wax delivery pipe (rather than connecting it to the wax delivery pipe) ensures that an effective heat source is provided for the wax liquid in the wax delivery pipe while not affecting the transportation of the wax liquid along the wax delivery pipe.

[0022] The novel poultry depilatory production line as described above also includes a monitoring system and a control system connected to the monitoring system. The wax melting device includes a wax melting pool. The monitoring system includes a first liquid level sensor and a second liquid level sensor respectively arranged in the wax collecting pool and the wax melting pool. The first liquid level sensor and the second liquid level sensor can respectively detect the water level in the wax collecting pool and the liquid level of the wax liquid in the wax melting pool. The control system is configured to control the rotational speed of the first filter cartridge and the second filter cartridge according to the feedback information of the first liquid level sensor and the second liquid level sensor. Through this configuration, the water level in the wax collecting pool and the wax melting pool are controlled. When the wax liquid level in the wax pool is high, by increasing the rotation speed of the first filter cartridge and the second filter cartridge, the accumulation of debris and floating hair at the inlet ends of the first filter cartridge and the second filter cartridge (the first filter cartridge is close to the overflow trough end, and the second filter cartridge is close to the first wax overflow trough end) can be avoided, thereby ensuring the filtering effect of the first filter cartridge and the second filter cartridge. At the same time, when the water level in the wax collecting pool and the wax liquid level in the wax melting pool are low, the filtering effect can be ensured by reducing the rotation speed of the first filter cartridge and the second filter cartridge, that is, ensuring that the rotation speed of the first filter cartridge and the second filter cartridge can be adapted to the water level in the wax collecting pool and the wax liquid level in the wax melting pool to ensure the filtering effect.

[0023] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention is a new type of poultry depilation production line, and the setting of the first impurity removal device of the water circulation system enables the large volume of solid wax in the wax collection pool to be transferred to the wax circulation system to complete the melting work, and some debris that cannot be transferred can flow along the overflow trough into the first filter cartridge, and under the rotation of the first filter cartridge, clean water will flow into the clean water pool and continue to complete the water circulation operation under the action of the delivery pump group, and the debris can be autonomously transported out of the end of the first filter cartridge away from the overflow trough under the action of the first guide vane, ensuring that the forward circulation operation can be It is carried out efficiently and autonomously; and the setting of the second impurity removal device in the wax circulation system enables the melted wax liquid and floating hair to flow into the second filter cartridge together, and under the rotation of the second filter cartridge, the clean wax liquid will flow into the clean wax pool and be precipitated through the sedimentation device, and then be transported back to the wax immersion device through the wax separation device to complete the wax circulation operation, and the floating hair in the wax liquid can be autonomously transported out of the end of the second filter cartridge away from the first wax overflow trough under the action of the second guide vane, ensuring that the forward circulation operation can be carried out efficiently and autonomously, and ultimately ensuring that the poultry depilation work can be carried out autonomously and efficiently.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] Example

[0046] This embodiment provides a new poultry depilation production line, see Figure 1 , including a transportation system 1, a depilatory system 2, a water circulation system 3 and a wax circulation system. The poultry body can be transported along the transportation system 1 and the depilatory work is completed through the depilatory system 2. The water circulation system 3 is used to collect and concentrate the solid wax after depilation. The wax circulation system is used to melt the solid wax and can transport the melted clean wax liquid back to the depilatory system 2. The following is a detailed description of the structure of each part of the production line (the above-mentioned new poultry depilatory production line).

[0047] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 2 The transport system 1 includes a transport line 11 capable of transporting poultry bodies, and the transport line 11 completes the reversing work through a reversing wheel 14.

[0048] Furthermore, the transport system 1 also includes several first motors 12 and reversing adjustment frames 13, and the transport line 11 is arranged to bypass the first motors 12 and the reversing adjustment frames 13, wherein the first motors 12 can provide auxiliary power for the operation of the transport line 11, and the reversing adjustment frames 13 can provide reversing effect for the transport line 11 while tightening the transport line 11 through the adjustment effect, thereby ensuring the tightness of the combination of the transport line 11 with the reversing wheel 14 and the first motor 12, and finally ensuring that the transport line 11 can smoothly drive the poultry body to move.

[0049] In this embodiment, the depilatory system 2 includes a wax dipping device 21, a cooling device 22 and a dewaxing device 23. The transport line 11 is configured to be able to drive the poultry body through the wax dipping device 21, the cooling device 22 and the dewaxing device 23 in sequence under the reversing action of the reversing wheel 14, and complete the wax dipping, cooling and dewaxing work in sequence.

[0050] As a preferred embodiment, in order to ensure the depilatory effect of the depilatory system 2 on the poultry body, the depilatory system 2 is provided with multiple groups, and the transport line 11 is configured to drive the poultry body to pass through several groups of depilatory systems 2 in sequence.

[0051] Specifically speaking, the structure of the wax dipping device 21 is combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 It includes a wax immersion pool 211 and a first heating coil 212 arranged at the bottom of the wax immersion pool 211. The bottom of the wax immersion pool 211 is heating water, and the upper layer of the heating water is wax liquid. The heating water can be heated by the first heating coil 212 to ensure that the wax liquid is in a melted state.

[0052] Furthermore, a water level control mechanism (not shown) is provided on the outside of the wax immersion pool 211. The water level control mechanism can be used to control the hot water level in the wax immersion pool 211, thereby controlling the liquid level of the wax liquid inside the wax immersion pool 211. While ensuring that the poultry body can be fully immersed in wax, the liquid level can be adjusted to prevent the head of the poultry body from being affected by the wax liquid, thereby ensuring the depilatory effect.

[0053] Specifically, the water level control mechanism includes a regulating tube having one end connected to the lower part of the wax immersion pool 211, which is rotatably connected to the wax immersion pool 211 and the rotation plane is vertical. By rotating the regulating tube, under the action of the communication effect, the hot water level in the wax immersion pool 211 can be controlled, thereby making the liquid level control of the wax liquid in the wax immersion pool 211 more convenient.

[0054] Specifically speaking, the cooling device 22 includes a cooling pool in which cooling water is contained. The wax-soaked poultry body can be solidified on the surface under the action of the cooling water.

[0055] Specifically speaking, the structure of the dewaxing device 23 includes two wax stripping rollers arranged horizontally and opposite to each other, and glue sticks are provided on the two wax stripping rollers. The poultry body can pass between the two wax stripping rollers under the drive of the conveyor line 11, and the solid wax on the surface can be stripped off under the rotation of the two wax stripping rollers.

[0056] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 5 The water circulation system 3 includes a wax collecting pool 31, a wax delivery trough 32 connected to the wax collecting pool 31 at one end, and a wax flushing trough 33 provided on the lower side of the dewaxing device 23 and connected to the wax delivery trough 32 at one end. The solid wax can be transported from the wax flushing trough 33 to the wax delivery trough 32, and then transported to the wax collecting pool 31 in a centralized manner by the wax delivery trough 32.

[0057] As one of the core technical concepts of the present invention, the water circulation system 3 also includes a first impurity removal device 35, which includes a clean water tank and a first filter cartridge horizontally arranged on its upper side and capable of rotating. A first guide vane is spirally provided in the first filter cartridge. An overflow trough 34 is provided on one side of the wax collecting tank 31. The outer end of the overflow trough 34 extends from one end of the first filter cartridge into the first filter cartridge. The water circulation system 3 also includes a delivery pump group 36, which is configured to deliver water in the clean water tank to the wax flushing trough 33 and the wax delivery trough 32 away from the end of the wax collecting tank 31. Based on this structure, a large volume of solid wax in the wax collecting tank 31 can be transported to the wax circulation system to complete the melting work, and some debris that cannot be transported can flow along the overflow trough 34 into the first filter cartridge. Under the rotation of the first filter cartridge, clean water will flow into the clean water tank and continue to complete the water circulation operation under the action of the delivery pump group 36, and the debris can be autonomously transported out from the end of the first filter cartridge away from the overflow trough 34 under the action of the first guide vane, ensuring that the forward circulation operation can be carried out efficiently and autonomously.

[0058] Specifically speaking, the structure of the delivery pump group 36 includes two water pumps connected to the clean water tank, one of which is provided with a water delivery device 37, and can deliver clean water to the wax flushing tank 33 through the water delivery device 37 to complete the flushing of the solid wax inside.

[0059] In order to ensure the waxing effect, Figure 6 and Figure 7The water delivery device 37 is configured to include a water delivery pipe 371 connected to a water pump, and a plurality of water distribution pipes 372 arranged on the water distribution pipe 372 corresponding to the plurality of wax flushing grooves 33. The end of the water distribution pipe 372 is provided with a first wax flushing pipe 373 and a second wax flushing pipe 374, wherein the wax flushing groove 33 is inclined and the bottom cross-section is a V-shaped structure. One end of the second wax flushing pipe 374 is directly connected to the water distribution pipe 372, and the other end is located at the bottom of the wax flushing groove 33 away from the end of the wax delivery groove 32. The first wax flushing pipe 373 is located on both sides of the wax flushing groove 33 and two are provided along the length direction of the wax flushing groove 33. One end of the two first wax flushing pipes 373 is connected to the water distribution pipe 372, and a through hole is opened on it along the length direction. Through the cooperation of the first wax flushing pipe 373 and the second wax flushing pipe 374, the solid wax in the wax flushing groove 33 can be smoothly flushed into the wax delivery groove 32.

[0060] As for the other water pump of the delivery pump group 36, it directly extends to the end of the wax delivery tank 32 away from the wax collecting pool 31 through a water delivery pipe 371 to complete the wax flushing work with circulating water.

[0061] As a preferred embodiment, in order to ensure the conveying effect of the solid wax along the wax conveying trough 32, the depth of the wax conveying trough 32 is not less than 30 cm. Through this setting, the solid wax can be transported along the conveying trough in a floating state. This drifting transportation method is different from the method of directly using water to flush the solid wax for transportation. It is not affected by the impact force of the water flow (flow rate), ensuring that the solid wax can be smoothly transported along the conveying trough, thereby improving the transportation effect of the conveying trough on the solid wax.

[0062] In order to prevent a large volume of solid wax from being transported along the overflow trough 34 to the first impurity removal device 35, a filter plate 311 is further provided in the wax collecting pool 31 to distinguish the solid wax concentration side from the side where the overflow trough 34 is provided. Of course, the filter plate 311 is only for preventing a large volume of solid wax from flowing out of the overflow trough 34, so the mesh specifications of the filter plate 311 do not need to be too small.

[0063] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 11 The wax circulation system includes a lifting device 41, a wax melting device 42, a second impurity removal device 43, a sedimentation device 44 and a wax separation device 45, which are arranged in sequence. The lifting device 41 is configured to lift the solid wax in the wax collecting pool 31 to the wax melting device 42, and complete the separation of wax liquid and floating hair through the second impurity removal device 43.

[0064] Specifically speaking, the structure of the lifting device 41 is combined with Figure 12It includes an inclined chain plate elevator, the lower end of which is arranged in the wax collecting pool 31 and is located on the side of the filter plate 311 away from the overflow trough 34. In some optional embodiments, the chain plate elevator can also be set to be the same width as the wax collecting pool 31. In this case, it is not necessary to set the filter plate 311, and the separation of large volumes of solid wax can be completed. The solid wax in the wax collecting pool 31 can be transported to the wax melting device 42 through the chain plate elevator.

[0065] Specifically speaking, the structure of the wax melting device 42 is combined with Figure 8 and Figure 9 It includes a wax melting pool 421 and a second heating coil 422 inside it. The bottom of the wax melting pool 421 is heating water, and the heating water can be heated by the second heating coil 422 to complete the melting of the solid wax and allow the wax liquid to float on the upper layer of the heating water.

[0066] As a preferred embodiment, in order to ensure the heating efficiency of the second heating coil 422 for heating water, and thus ensure the wax melting efficiency of the wax melting device 42, the second heating coil 422 is provided in multiple groups. By setting up multiple groups of second heating coils 422, it is ensured that a single group of second heating coils 422 has a shorter length, thereby ensuring that it can transfer more heat and ensure the heating effect.

[0067] In order to further improve the wax melting efficiency of the wax melting device 42 , a third heating coil 423 is provided in the wax melting pool 421 around several groups of second heating coils 422 .

[0068] As another core technical concept of the present invention, specifically speaking, the structure of the second impurity removal device 43 is combined with Figure 10 and Figure 13The second impurity removal device 43 includes a wax cleaning pool 431, a fourth heating coil 432 is provided at the bottom of the wax cleaning pool 431, the bottom of the wax melting pool 421 is heated water, and the upper layer of the heated water is wax liquid. The heating water can be heated by the fourth heating coil 432 to ensure the melting state of the upper wax liquid. A second filter cartridge 434 that can rotate is laterally provided on the upper side of the wax cleaning pool 431, and a second guide vane is spirally provided in the second filter cartridge 434. The wax melting device 42 includes a first wax overflow groove 47 located on the side of the wax melting pool 421 away from the lifting device 41. The outer end of the first wax overflow groove 47 extends from one end of the second filter cartridge 434 to the second filter cartridge In 434, the sedimentation device 44 is connected to the clean wax pool 431, and the wax separation device 45 is configured to be able to transport the wax liquid in the sedimentation pool 441 to the wax immersion device 21. Based on this structure, the melted wax liquid and the floating hair can flow into the second filter cartridge 434 together, and under the rotation of the second filter cartridge 434, the clean wax liquid will flow into the clean wax pool 431 and after being precipitated by the sedimentation device 44, it will be transported back to the wax immersion device 21 through the wax separation device 45 to complete the wax circulation operation, and the floating hair in the wax liquid can be autonomously transported out of the second filter cartridge 434 away from the end of the first wax overflow trough 47 under the action of the second guide vane, ensuring that the forward circulation operation can be carried out efficiently and autonomously.

[0069] As a preferred embodiment, in order to prevent floating hair from adhering to the inner wall of the second filter cartridge 434 and ensure the filtering effect of the second filter cartridge 434, the wax circulation system also includes a flushing device 46 provided on one side of the wax clean pool 431. Specifically, the flushing device 46 includes a hot water pool 461 connected to the lower part of the wax clean pool 431, and a wax flushing pump 462 provided on one side of the hot water pool 461. A flushing pipe 463 connected to the wax flushing pump 462 is provided on one side of the second filter cartridge 434 and along the axial direction of the second filter cartridge 434. Through this arrangement, the floating hair adhering to the inner wall of the second filter cartridge 434 can be effectively flushed away and smoothly transported out of the second filter cartridge 434 under the action of the second guide vane. At the same time, the water used for flushing is the hot water at the bottom of the wax clean pool 431, so as to prevent the liquid wax from solidifying at the flushing position and ensure the flushing effect of the flushing pipe 463 on the floating hair on the inner wall of the second filter cartridge 434.

[0070] As a further preference, in order to ensure the flushing effect of the flushing tube 463 on the floating hair on the inner wall of the second filter cartridge 434, the flushing tube 463 is arranged directly above the second filter cartridge 434, and a plurality of through holes are opened on its lower side along its length direction, so that the flushing direction of the flushing tube 463 is downward.

[0071] Specifically speaking, the structure of the precipitation device 44 is combined with Figure 14 and Figure 15It includes a sedimentation tank 441 and a sixth heating coil 442 inside it. The bottom of the sedimentation tank 441 is heating water, and the upper layer of the heating water is wax liquid. The heating water can be heated by the sixth heating coil 442 to ensure that the upper layer of wax liquid is in a melted state.

[0072] The clean wax pool 431 is provided with a second wax overflow trough 48 at one end away from the wax melting pool 421. The clean wax liquid in the clean wax pool 431 can flow along the second wax overflow trough 48 to the sedimentation pool 441. In order to ensure the fluidity of the wax liquid along the second wax overflow trough 48, the clean wax pool 431 is additionally provided with a fifth heating coil 433 at one end close to the sedimentation pool 441.

[0073] Specifically speaking, the structure of the wax separation device 45 is as follows: Figure 16 It includes a wax delivery pipe 451 connected to the upper part of the end of the sedimentation tank 441 of the sedimentation device 44 away from the pure wax pool 431, and a number of wax distribution pipes 452 arranged on it corresponding to the wax immersion pools 211 of the wax immersion devices 21. The end of the wax distribution pipe 452 is provided with a float valve 454. Based on this structure, the wax distribution device 45 can automatically complete the distribution of wax liquid according to the amount of wax liquid in the wax immersion device 21, that is, when the amount of wax liquid in the wax immersion device 21 is small, the float valve 454 is opened to replenish wax liquid into the wax immersion device 21, and when the amount of wax liquid in the wax immersion device 21 is large, the float valve 454 is closed to stop replenishing wax liquid. The distribution of wax liquid is completed automatically to ensure that there is always sufficient wax liquid in the wax immersion device 21.

[0074] In order to further effectively control the wax separation work of the wax separation device 45 , a switch valve 453 is further provided in the middle of the wax separation pipe 452 .

[0075] As a preferred embodiment, a heating pipe 455 is provided inside the wax delivery pipe 451 along its length direction. The setting of the heating pipe 455 effectively prevents the wax liquid from solidifying inside the wax delivery pipe 451. In addition, this method of directly arranging the heating pipe 455 inside the wax delivery pipe 451 (rather than connecting it to the wax delivery pipe 451) ensures that an effective heat source is provided for the wax liquid in the wax delivery pipe 451 while not affecting the transportation of the wax liquid along the wax delivery pipe 451.

[0076] In this embodiment, the production line also includes a monitoring system and a control system communicated with the monitoring system. The wax melting device 42 includes a wax melting pool 421. The monitoring system includes a first liquid level sensor and a second liquid level sensor respectively arranged in the wax collecting pool 31 and the wax melting pool 421. The first liquid level sensor and the second liquid level sensor can respectively detect the water level in the wax collecting pool 31 and the liquid level of the wax liquid in the wax melting pool 421. The control system is configured to control the rotational speed of the first filter cartridge and the second filter cartridge 434 according to the feedback information of the first liquid level sensor and the second liquid level sensor. Through this configuration, the water level in the wax collecting pool 31 and the liquid level of the wax liquid in the wax melting pool 421 are controlled. When it is high, by increasing the rotation speed of the first filter cartridge and the second filter cartridge 434, the accumulation of debris and floating hair at the inlet ends of the first filter cartridge and the second filter cartridge 434 (the end of the first filter cartridge close to the overflow trough 34, and the end of the second filter cartridge 434 close to the first wax overflow trough 47) can be avoided, thereby ensuring the filtering effect of the first filter cartridge and the second filter cartridge 434. At the same time, when the water level in the wax collecting pool 31 and the liquid level of the wax liquid in the wax melting pool 421 are low, the filtering effect can be ensured by reducing the rotation speed of the first filter cartridge and the second filter cartridge 434, that is, ensuring that the rotation speed of the first filter cartridge and the second filter cartridge 434 can be adapted to the water level in the wax collecting pool 31 and the liquid level of the wax liquid in the wax melting pool 421 to ensure the filtering effect.
