Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of food processing, in particular to a special processing device for chicken wing roots. Background Art

[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background art related to the present disclosure and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] Due to consumer demand, the current processing of chicken wing root products requires cutting the chicken on both sides of the wing root again. The cutting steps are:

[0004] Cut at the specified distance from the small bone end to the wing root, and cut along the wing root endoskeleton toward the large bone end;

[0005] Then, on the other side of the wing root bone, start cutting toward the large bone end of the wing root in the same way as the first cut;

[0006] After cutting, the connecting part of the chicken on both sides of the bone in the wing root is unfolded, and the thickness generally varies from 2 to 5 mm.

[0007] The above-mentioned processing relies on manual cutting. In order to realize the automation of cutting, a wing root processing device and processing method with application number CN116998527 A are proposed on the market. The processing device can set a splint for fixing the wing root on the conveying mechanism, and the spring pressure plate is used to press the small end of the wing root to prevent it from tilting up during the cutting process. The cutter is used to synchronously cut the chicken on both sides of the wing root skeleton. The cutting is completed in the process of the wing root moving with the conveying mechanism, and no unnecessary cutting action is required.

[0008] Although the above-mentioned wing root processing device can improve the degree of automation, it has technical problems such as poor cutting stability and low transmission efficiency during the cutting process. The specific technical problems are as follows:

[0009] (1) The original tool holder limit ring is made of a layer of steel plate. There is a large gap between the limit ring and the first fixed frame. When the cylinder drives the tool holder to cut downward, the tool is also subject to resistance in the direction of the conveyor belt. The first fixed frame is offset in the limit ring, making it easy for the tool holder to move, affecting the cutting effect of the next wing root.

[0010] (2) The operating staff needs to place the chicken wing raw materials on a clamping plate, and then place the chicken wing raw materials in a storage box outside the processing device. The storage box is placed on one side of the conveyor belt. The operating staff needs to bend over or turn around to pick up the chicken wings. After the materials in one storage box are processed, they need to be transferred to other storage boxes. The employees' movements are large, which increases their labor intensity. In addition, the wing root processing device adopts a single-station cutting device, and the cutting device is provided with a chain plate conveyor belt. Only one employee can operate it at a time, which leads to low work efficiency.

[0011] (3) The chicken wing root is fixed only by the splints at both ends. The small bone end is located at the first splint, and the large bone end of the wing root is located at the second splint. Although it can be fixed in the length direction, due to the irregular surface and internal tissue structure of the chicken wing root, when the cutting knife cuts into the wing root, the friction between the blade and the wing root causes the chicken wing root to swing in the width direction, causing the chicken wing root to detach from the second splint, affecting subsequent transmission. Summary of the invention

[0012] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes a special processing device for chicken wing roots, and the present invention is to solve the technical problems of deviation and derailment.

[0015] A plurality of wing root plywood groups are fixedly arranged at intervals on the conveyor belt along the conveying direction thereof, each wing root plywood group is composed of a first plywood and a second plywood arranged opposite to each other, and a third plywood is arranged between the first plywood and the second plywood;

[0016] The cutting mechanism is composed of a combined tool holder and a telescopic driving unit for driving the combined tool holder to move up and down, the combined tool holder is fixedly installed with limit plates on both sides, the telescopic driving unit is installed with a first fixed frame through one side, the fixed frame is provided with an installation slot for placing the combined tool holder, the side wall of the installation slot is penetrated with a limit slot, and the limit plate is movably installed in the limit slot;

[0017] The combined knife holder is provided with a cutter for synchronously cutting the chicken on both sides of the wing root internal skeleton and a spring pressure plate for pressing the small bone end of the wing root. The cutter is composed of two blades arranged oppositely on both sides of the combined knife holder; along the conveying direction, the spring pressure plate is located at the front side of the cutter.

[0018] It is further configured that the telescopic drive unit is provided with a first fixed frame, the first fixed frame has an installation groove for placing the combined tool holder, the side wall of the installation groove is penetrated by a limit groove, the combined tool holder is composed of a vertical section and a horizontal section, and a limit plate for inserting into the limit groove is fixedly installed on both sides of the vertical section.

[0019] It is further configured that the horizontal section is fixedly connected to the telescopic part of the telescopic unit, the cutter is detachably mounted on the horizontal section, and the spring pressure plate is hinged on the horizontal section.

[0020] It is further configured that the spring pressure plate consists of a pressure plate and a spring connecting shaft, one end of the pressure plate is hinged to the horizontal section, the spring connecting shaft is vertically arranged, the bottom end of the spring connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the pressure plate, and the upper end of the spring connecting shaft is movably connected to a second fixed frame fixedly installed on the vertical section.

[0021] It is further configured that the spring connecting shaft consists of a connecting shaft and a spring sleeved on the connecting shaft, the second fixing frame is provided with a mounting hole for mounting the connecting shaft, the top end of the connecting shaft passes through the mounting hole and is threadedly connected with a nut.

[0022] It is further configured that the mounting hole is a long waist hole structure.

[0023] It is further configured that the telescopic driving unit of the first fixed frame is fixedly mounted in a cover shell on the machine tool, and the cover shell is fixedly mounted on the machine tool.

[0024] It is further configured that all of the wing root splint groups are on the same straight line.

[0025] It is further configured that the first splint is located on the front side of the second splint, the first splint is used to place the small bone end of the wing root, the second splint is used to place the large bone end of the wing root, and the third splint is used to place the leg meat of the wing root.

[0026] It is further configured that the machine tool is also equipped with a sensing mechanism, which consists of a sensing switch fixedly installed on the machine tool and sensing points fixedly installed on the conveying mechanism, the sensing switch is connected to the telescopic drive unit, and the sensing points correspond one-to-one to the wing root splint groups.

[0029] When a wing root is detected to be directly below the cutting mechanism, the telescopic drive unit drives the combined knife holder to move downward, so that the pressing plate presses the small bone end of the wing root, and the two blades are inserted into the chicken on both sides of the bone of the wing root at the same time;

[0030] The position of the cutter remains unchanged, and the wing root with the blade inserted follows the conveying mechanism to move, and the wing root continues to be cut until it reaches the end of the large bone end. The cutter and the spring pressure plate move up synchronously as a whole to complete the cutting of the chicken on both sides of the bone in the wing root.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0032] (1) The existing limit ring is optimized into a slot made of two steel plates. There is a gap of fixed size in the middle of the slot. The fixed plates arranged on both sides of the tool holder slider can move up and down in this gap. Even if there is resistance during the tool cutting process, the fixed plate is restricted in the slot. The fixed plate can only complete the vertical position, and the tool will not move in the new direction of the conveyor belt.

[0033] (2) The original single-chain cutting production line was upgraded to a double-chain cutting production line. Storage troughs were added on both sides of the moving chain. The placement and size were determined based on factors such as the employees' movement range and work habits. Processing personnel picked up materials directly from the storage troughs and poured the materials into the storage troughs before processing, reducing the frequency of raw material transfer.

[0034] (3) The positioning device is divided into a first splint corresponding to the large bone end, a second splint corresponding to the leg meat, and a third splint corresponding to the small bone end.

[0045] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0046] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are all illustrative and intended to provide further explanation of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs.

[0047] Embodiment 1

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, a special processing device for chicken wing roots includes: a machine tool 1 and chain plate conveyor belts 2 installed in pairs on the machine tool 1, storage grooves 14 are opened on both sides of the chain plate conveyor belts 2, and a cutting mechanism is installed above the chain plate conveyor belts 2. The processing personnel directly guide the materials into the storage grooves 14, which can reduce the frequency of raw material transportation. The placement position and size can be determined based on factors such as the employee's movement range, working habits, and convenient operation. The employee does not need to turn around or bend down when working facing the chain plate conveyor belts 2, thereby reducing the employee's work intensity.

[0049] A number of wing root clamping plate groups 16 are fixedly arranged at intervals on each chain plate conveyor belt 2 along its conveying direction. All the wing root clamping plate groups 16 are on the same straight line and are mainly used for positioning the chicken wing roots on the chain plate conveyor belt 2 to facilitate the positioning and cutting of the wing roots.

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, the cutting mechanism consists of a combined tool holder 3 and a telescopic driving unit 5 for driving the combined tool holder 3 to move up and down. Limiting plates 31 are fixedly installed on both sides of the combined tool holder 3. The telescopic driving unit 5 is installed with a first fixed frame 4 on one side. The fixed frame is provided with an installation groove 41 for placing the combined tool holder 3. The side wall of the installation groove 41 is penetrated to form a limiting groove 42. The limiting plate 31 is movably installed in the limiting groove 42. The width of the limiting groove 42 is slightly larger than the thickness of the limiting plate 31, so that the limiting plate 31 can only undergo a large displacement in the vertical direction in the limiting groove 42, and a small deviation in the horizontal direction (the direction of travel of the chain plate conveyor belt 2) will not affect the subsequent cutting effect.

[0051] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a cutter 6 for synchronously cutting the chicken on both sides of the wing root endoskeleton and a spring pressure plate 7 for pressing the small bone end of the wing root are installed on the combined knife holder 3. The cutter 6 consists of two blades relatively arranged on both sides of the combined knife holder 3; along the conveying direction, the spring pressure plate 7 is located at the front side of the cutter 6, that is, the spring pressure plate is located at the front end of the conveying direction relative to the cutter 6 (it can also be understood that in the conveying direction, the spring pressure plate is located at the front side of the cutter), and the cutter 6 is located at the rear side of the spring pressure plate, so that after the combined knife holder 3 is lowered, the tip of the cutter 6 is inserted into the initial position of cutting, and the spring pressure plate presses the small bone end of the wing root. In the process that the wing root follows the movement of the chain plate conveyor belt 2, the cutter 6 cuts the wing root, and at the same time, the spring pressure plate is used to press the small bone end of the wing root to prevent the small bone end of the wing root from tilting.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, the telescopic driving unit 5 is provided with a first fixed frame 4, and the first fixed frame 4 is provided with an installation groove 41 for placing the combined tool holder 3, and a limiting groove 42 is provided through the side wall of the installation groove 41. The combined tool holder 3 is composed of a vertical section and a horizontal section, and a limiting plate 31 for inserting into the limiting groove 42 is fixedly installed on both sides of the vertical section.

[0053] In this embodiment, the telescopic drive unit 5 is a telescopic cylinder, and the bottom of the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder is detachably connected to the horizontal section of the combined tool holder 3 by bolt connection, so that the initial position height of the combined cylinder 3 can be adjusted according to needs.

[0054] The horizontal section is fixedly connected to the telescopic part of the telescopic unit, the cutter 6 is detachably mounted on the horizontal section, and the spring pressure plate 7 is hinged on the horizontal section.

[0055] The spring pressure plate 7 consists of a pressure plate and a connecting shaft 9. One end of the pressure plate is hinged to the horizontal section. The connecting shaft 9 is vertically arranged. The bottom end of the connecting shaft 9 is fixedly connected to the pressure plate. The upper end of the connecting shaft 9 is movably connected to a second fixing frame 8 fixedly installed on the vertical section.

[0056] The connecting shaft 9 is composed of a connecting shaft 9 and a spring 10 sleeved on the connecting shaft 9. A mounting hole for mounting the connecting shaft 9 is opened on the second fixing frame 8. The top end of the connecting shaft 9 passes through the mounting hole and is threadedly connected with a nut. The mounting hole is a long waist hole structure. The top end of the connecting shaft 9 passes through the mounting hole, and the bottom end of the connecting shaft 9 is fixedly connected to the pressing plate.

[0057] The telescopic driving unit 5 of the first fixed frame 4 is fixedly installed in the cover 13 on the machine tool 1, and the cover 13 is fixedly installed on the machine tool 1. The combined tool holder 3 is movably arranged on the first fixed frame 4. The combined tool holder 3 is fixedly connected with the telescopic part of the telescopic driving unit 5, so that the combined tool holder 3 can be controlled to move up and down along the first fixed frame 4 under the action of the telescopic driving unit 5. The cutting 6 and the spring pressure plate are installed on the combined tool holder 3 and can move synchronously with the combined tool holder 3.

[0058] It is understandable that in order to facilitate observation of the cutting operation, the cover 12 may be configured as a transparent structure in actual use.

[0059] All the wing root plywood groups are on the same straight line. Each wing root plywood group consists of a first plywood 11 and a second plywood 12 that are oppositely arranged. The first plywood 11 and the second plywood 12 are both U-shaped structures, and the second plywood 12 is closed on one side away from the first plywood 11.

[0060] The first splint 11 is located at the front end of the conveying direction of the chain plate conveyor belt 2, and the second splint 12 is located at the rear end of the conveying direction of the chain plate conveyor belt 2, that is, along the conveying direction, the first splint 11 is located in front of the second splint 12, and the third splint 15 is arranged between the first splint 11 and the second splint 12, and each part of the chicken wing root is correspondingly inserted into the first splint 11, the second splint 12 and the third splint 15.

[0061] Among them, the first clamping plate 11, the second clamping plate 12 and the third clamping plate 15 are metal sheets arranged on the conveying chain plate. The metal sheets have a certain elasticity. After the chicken wing root is inserted, the first clamping plate 11, the second clamping plate 12 and the third clamping plate 15 are stretched outward, and then the chicken wing root is tightened under the action of elastic force.

[0062] It can be understood that the spacing between adjacent first clamping plates 11, second clamping plates 12 and third clamping plates 1 and between two adjacent groups of wing root clamping plates can be determined according to actual design requirements, and no excessive restrictions are imposed herein.

[0063] A sensing mechanism is also installed on the machine tool 1, which consists of a sensing switch fixedly installed on the machine tool 1 and a sensing point fixedly installed on the conveying mechanism. The sensing switch is connected to the telescopic drive unit 5. The sensing point is a sensing metal sheet 17, which is fixedly installed on the upper chain plate conveyor belt 2. The sensing point corresponds to the wing root splint group one by one, and is used to detect the position of the first splint 11 and the second splint 12 of the same group, and then detect the position of the wing root, so as to facilitate the control of the lifting and lowering of the cutter 6 and the spring pressure plate, so as to automatically complete the bilateral synchronous cutting of the wing root.

[0064] Example 2

[0065] In another typical embodiment of the present invention, a wing root processing method is proposed, which utilizes the wing root dedicated processing device in Example 1, and the specific processing process is as follows:

[0066] Processing personnel are divided into two groups and stand on both sides of two storage tanks 14. They directly introduce materials into the storage tanks 14, pick up the wing roots from the storage tanks 14 manually and place them on the chain plate conveyor belt 2. One wing root is placed in each wing root splint group, so that the small bone end of the wing root is located at the first splint 11, the large bone end of the wing root is located at the second splint 12, and the leg meat part of the wing root is located at the third splint 15;

[0067] The wing root moves with the chain plate conveyor belt 2. When the sensing mechanism detects that a wing root moves to the right below the cutting mechanism, the telescopic part of the telescopic drive unit 5 is controlled to extend downward, and the combined knife holder 3 drives the cutter 6 and the pressing plate 7 to move downward, so that the pressing plate 7 presses the small bone end of the wing root to prevent the small bone end from tilting upward, and the two blades are inserted into the chicken on both sides of the skeleton of the wing root at the same time;

[0068] The limiting plate 31 can only undergo a large displacement in the vertical direction in the limiting groove 42, and a small deviation in the horizontal direction (the traveling direction of the chain plate conveyor belt 2) will not affect the subsequent cutting effect.

[0069] It is understandable that the distance between the insertion position of the blade and the small bone end is adjusted according to actual needs, and no excessive restrictions are imposed here.

[0070] The wing root with the blade inserted moves with the chain plate conveyor belt 2. During the movement of the wing root, the position of the cutter 6 remains unchanged. As the chain plate conveyor belt 2 rotates, the incision on the wing root continues to be cut until it reaches the end of the large bone end. The telescopic drive unit 5 moves up, and the cutter 6 and the spring pressure plate move up synchronously as a whole, completing the cutting of the chicken on both sides of the skeleton of the wing root;

[0071] Repeat the above steps until all the wing roots on the chain plate conveyor belt 2 are processed.

[0072] Among them, the pressure plate 7 can always ensure the compression of the wing root under the action of the spring connecting shaft, prevent the wing root from warping and displacement, and can adapt to wing roots of different thicknesses; the blade does not contact the surface of the chain plate conveyor belt 2 during the cutting process, avoiding the muscle from being completely cut off.

[0073] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.

[0074] Although the above describes the specific implementation mode of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, it is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications or variations that can be made by those skilled in the art on the basis of the technical solution of the present invention without creative work are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
