Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automatic slaughtering processing, and in particular to a side rib cutting device and a cutting production line. Background Art

[0002] In the automatic cutting process of the chicken slaughtering industry, half of the chicken carcass needs to be cut from the middle to form the side ribs and thighs. However, the side ribs and thighs after cutting are too large and the weight does not meet the customer's requirements. In addition, the excess weight of the side ribs and thighs does not generate value, which reduces the value of the product meat. Currently, the cutting of the side ribs and thighs is achieved by single-knife cutting, and the loin between the side ribs and thighs cannot be removed.

[0003] There are some solutions in the prior art that use multiple knives to cut meat, for example: CN110625665A discloses a chicken foot cutting device, in which at least one set of cutting devices is provided on the frame, and the cutting device includes a knife transmission mechanism, a knife seat and a blade group; CN111152275A discloses a meat strip cutting machine, in which a conveying device is provided on the top surface of the support, and a cutting device is provided above the middle of the conveying device; and multiple circular blades of the cutting device are placed in the knife groove of the conveying device. Since the range of the loin between the side ribs and the thigh is relatively narrow, although the above solutions disclose the cooperation of multiple blades, they cannot achieve the cutting of loin. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a side rib cutting device and a cutting production line, which can achieve the purpose of loin cutting and reduce the weight of side ribs and thigh slices.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions:

[0007] The double-blade cutting module includes two blades located in the same horizontal plane, and the two blades rotate relatively during cutting; the installation height of the two blades is greater than the installation height of the side rib cutting module.

[0008] As a further implementation, the cutting speed of the double-blade cutting module is greater than the cutting speed of the side-rib cutting module.

[0009] As a further implementation, the double-blade cutting module includes a frame, and the blade is installed on the frame through a lifting module.

[0010] As a further implementation, the double-blade cutting module further includes a guide assembly, and the guide assembly is arranged on the upper side of the gap between the two blades.

[0011] As a further implementation, the guide assembly includes two guide plates, and the guide heights of the two guide plates are adjustable.

[0012] As a further implementation, the guide plate is arranged parallel to the chicken conveying direction.

[0013] As a further implementation, the blade is connected to a motor, and the motor is installed vertically.

[0014] As a further implementation, the blade is a circular blade.

[0015] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a cutting production line, comprising a plurality of the side rib cutting devices described above.

[0016] As a further implementation, a conveyor chain mechanism is also included, and the double-blade cutting module rotates synchronously with the conveyor chain mechanism.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0018] (1) The double-blade cutting module of the present invention cooperates with the side rib cutting module for cutting. The installation height of the double-blade cutting module is higher than the installation height of the side rib cutting module. The cutting speed of the double-blade cutting module is slightly higher than the cutting speed of the side rib cutting module. The double-blade cutting module and the side rib cutting module cut simultaneously, thereby achieving loin removal.

[0024] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are illustrative and intended to provide further explanation of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in the present invention have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs.

[0025] Embodiment 1:

[0026] In a typical embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, a side rib cutting device is provided.

[0027] Since a single knife is used for cutting, the loin between the side ribs and the thigh cannot be removed; and the existing multi-knife solution is also unable to cut the loin in a narrow range. Based on this, this embodiment provides a side rib cutting device.

[0028] The side rib cutting device is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] The side rib cutting device of this embodiment includes a side rib cutting module II and a double-knife cutting module I. According to the transmission direction of the chicken body cutting process, the double-knife cutting module I is arranged at the rear side of the side rib cutting module II, wherein the side rib cutting module II is used to cut the side ribs, and its structure is the prior art, which will not be described here. The double-knife cutting module I cooperates with the side rib cutting module II to cut the chicken body at the same time, and the cutting speed of the double-knife cutting module I is greater than the cutting speed of the side rib cutting module II, thereby realizing the loin cutting.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the double-blade cutting module I includes a frame 1, a lifting module and two blades 2. The frame 1 serves as a supporting body, and its structure can be set according to actual conditions. The two blades 2 are installed on the frame 1 through the lifting module 5, and the installation height of the blades 2 can be adjusted through the lifting module 5.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the installation height of the blade 2 is greater than the installation height of the side rib cutting module II, for example, the height of the blade 2 is 18 mm higher than that of the side rib cutting module II to ensure smooth removal of the loin.

[0032] The two blades 2 are located in the same horizontal plane, and their rotation centers are along the vertical direction; there is a certain gap between the two blades 2, namely the cutting gap, which is used to cut the loin; when cutting, the two blades 2 rotate relative to each other. Specifically, at the cutting gap, the tangential directions of the two blades 2 are along the conveying direction of the chicken body.

[0033] The blade 2 is driven to rotate by the motor 3. In order not to affect the cutting of the chicken body, the motor 3 is located at the lower side of the blade 2, and the shaft of the motor 3 is installed in the vertical direction. In the present embodiment, the blade 2 is a circular blade, and the cutting of the chicken body is achieved by the rotation of the circular blade.

[0034] The lifting module 5 only needs to be able to drive the blade 2 to move up and down. In this embodiment, the lifting module 5 is implemented by a height-adjustable mounting plate 4. Figure 1 As shown, the mounting plate 4 is arranged on the inner side of the frame 1. The mounting plate 4 is a door-shaped structure with strip holes symmetrically opened on both sides. The mounting plate 4 is detachably connected to the frame 1 by installing bolts in the strip holes. The height position of the mounting plate 4 is adjustable.

[0035] The blade 2 is located on the upper side of the mounting plate 4, the motor 3 is located on the lower side of the mounting plate 4, and the shaft of the motor 3 is connected to the mounting plate 4 through a bearing; the height of the blade 2 can be adjusted by adjusting the mounting height of the mounting plate 4.

[0036] It can be understood that in other embodiments, the mounting plate 4 can be slidably connected to the frame 1, and the mounting plate 4 is connected to a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, and the height of the mounting plate 4 is adjusted by the cylinder or the hydraulic cylinder.

[0037] A guide assembly is installed on the upper side of the blade 2, and the height of the guide assembly is adjustable, so as to adjust the cutting size guide. The guide assembly is connected to the mounting plate 4 through an adjustment module 7, and the installation height of the guide assembly is changed through the adjustment module 7.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the guide assembly includes two mutually parallel guide plates 6, with a certain spacing between the two guide plates 6, which corresponds to the upper portion of the cutting gap, and the guide plates 6 are arranged parallel to the conveying direction of the chicken body. The guide plates 6 are used to guide the cutting position of the blade 2, and the guide height and spacing are adjusted according to the size of the chicken body.

[0039] In this embodiment, the guide plate 6 is a rectangular plate; the adjustment module 7 includes a connecting rod 8 and a support 9. The guide plate 6 is fixed on the upper side of the connecting rod 8. A plurality of connecting rods 8 are provided along the length direction of the guide plate 6 to provide stable support; each end of the connecting rod 8 is connected to a support 9, and the support 9 is provided with an adjustment hole, through which the connecting rod 8 passes and is fixed by a nut. In order to adjust the height of the connecting rod 8, the adjustment hole is provided as a strip hole.

[0040] In this embodiment, the double-blade cutting module I is installed at the rear side of the side rib cutting module II, and the installation height is higher than the side rib cutting module II, and the rotation speed is greater than the side rib cutting module II; the double-blade cutting module I and the side rib cutting module II cut at the same time, and the loin meat can be removed. In addition, the height of the blade 2 of the double-blade cutting module I and the guide height of the guide plate 6 can be adjusted, and the size and shape of the cut product can be flexibly adjusted.

[0041] Embodiment 2:

[0042] This embodiment provides a cutting production line, including a conveyor chain mechanism and the side rib cutting device described in the first embodiment. A plurality of side rib cutting devices are installed along the conveying direction of the conveyor chain mechanism, and each side rib cutting device is used for cutting one chicken body.

[0043] When the cutting production line is working, multiple double-knife cutting modules I rotate synchronously with the conveyor chain mechanism. The speed of double-knife cutting module I is slightly faster than that of side rib cutting module II. When the loin meat enters the double-knife cutting module I, the double knives rotate relative to each other to cut the loin meat. The guide height is adjusted according to the size of the chicken body to achieve the size of the cut product, achieve the purpose of loin meat cutting, and reduce the weight of side ribs and thigh slices.

[0044] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
