Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food conveying technology, and in particular to a chicken nugget processing and conveying production line with sterilization function. Background Technology

[0002] Chicken nuggets are a type of chicken food made by grinding chicken breast into a paste or mincing it, mixing it with various seasonings, shaping it using molds, coating it with flour, breadcrumbs, or batter, and then cooking it by baking, frying, or deep-frying. To ensure that chicken nuggets have a good texture, the selection of raw materials, the ratio of seasonings, the frying temperature, and the thickness of the flour layer on the surface of the chicken nuggets all need to be strictly controlled.

[0003] In existing chicken nugget production and conveying processes, such as Chinese Patent Publication No. CN208560859U, a separation device suitable for a drum-type flour conveyor is disclosed, including a conveyor body and a separation device; the separation device is installed above the conveyor body; the conveyor body includes a conveyor belt and a side frame; the separation device includes a fixed crossbar and a separation rod, the fixed crossbar is arranged laterally on both sides of the side frame of the conveyor body, one end of the separation rod is fixed to the fixed crossbar, and the other end of the separation rod extends downward to above the conveyor belt of the conveyor body.

[0004] In the aforementioned prior art, a separating device is mainly used to separate chicken pieces that are stuck together, allowing them to enter the drum coating machine individually to avoid sticking. However, the aforementioned prior art does not consider that during the coating process, the chicken pieces enter a conveyor belt covered with flour, and a large amount of flour falls from above them, thus ensuring thorough coating. After coating, the chicken pieces fall onto the next level vibrating conveyor belt to shake off excess flour. Then, the chicken pieces fall onto the next level conveyor belt and are fed into the frying tank for frying. Because the chicken pieces are blocky, a significant amount of flour usually accumulates on their surface. The flour on the surface of the chicken nuggets is difficult to remove due to the loose structure of the chicken nuggets. The vibration amplitude of the vibrating conveyor belt cannot be too large, otherwise the chicken nuggets will deform. Although the chicken nuggets may flip under the influence of gravity during the process of falling from the vibrating conveyor belt onto the conveyor belt, thereby removing the flour accumulated on the surface of the chicken nuggets, the randomness is relatively large and it cannot be guaranteed that the chicken nuggets will flip steadily to remove the excess flour. Too much flour will cause the outer layer of the chicken nuggets to become too hard and crispy, while the inside may still be soft, resulting in an uneven overall taste and absorbing more oil, which is not conducive to healthy eating.

[0005] Therefore, there is still room for improvement in the aforementioned existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To ensure that the chicken nuggets are turned over during the conveying process to remove excess flour, this application provides a chicken nugget processing and conveying production line with sterilization function.

[0007] The chicken nugget processing and conveying production line with sterilization function provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: The chicken nugget processing and conveying production line with sterilization function includes an outer frame, a pre-processing module, a primary conveyor belt, a secondary conveyor belt, a receiving module, an adjusting module, an anti-blocking module, and a flipping module. The pre-processing module is located at the left end of the outer frame, the primary conveyor belt is located in the middle of the outer frame, the secondary conveyor belt is located on the right side of the outer frame, the receiving module is located in the outer frame between the primary and secondary conveyor belts, and the receiving module transfers the chicken nuggets output from the primary conveyor belt to the secondary conveyor belt. The adjusting module is located on the receiving module, which allows the chicken nuggets to move in a flat position. The anti-blocking module is located on the receiving module, which assists the adjusting module in restricting the movement of the chicken nuggets and clearing blockages when they occur. The flipping module is located in the receiving module, which flips the chicken nuggets over for adjustment.

[0008] Preferably, the pretreatment module is equipped with an ultraviolet sterilization device. Existing ultraviolet sterilization devices sterilize and disinfect ingredients such as chicken and equipment to ensure food safety.

[0009] Preferably, both the primary and secondary conveyor belts are stainless steel mesh belt conveyors, which are existing technologies. The surface of the stainless steel mesh belt conveyor has uniform gaps to facilitate the falling of excess flour from the chicken pieces and prevent flour from accumulating on the surface. A vibrator that works with the primary conveyor belt is installed on the outer frame. The vibrator is also existing technology. The vibrator causes the primary conveyor belt to vibrate slightly, thereby initially removing the flour from the chicken pieces.

[0010] Preferably, the receiving module includes a mounting bracket, a bearing plate, a sliding groove, a protective plate, and a conveying channel. The mounting bracket is installed on the inner side wall of the outer frame. The right end of the bearing plate is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket via a pin. The bearing plate receives the chicken pieces falling from the primary conveyor belt. A spring is connected between the bearing plate and the mounting bracket, which serves to buffer and support the resetting mechanism. The bearing plate has a mesh structure with gaps to facilitate the falling of flour. A guide pin is installed on the left side wall of the bearing plate, which slides in a sliding groove on the mounting bracket. The sliding groove serves to guide and limit the movement. The protective plate is installed on the upper surface of the bearing plate, which serves to block and protect the chicken pieces falling from the primary conveyor belt, allowing them to fall smoothly onto the secondary conveyor belt. The protective plate and the bearing plate together form the conveying channel, which gradually flattens from left to right.

[0011] Preferably, the adjustment module includes an adjustment roller, an auxiliary pin, and a linkage belt. The adjustment roller consists of a rotating head and an indexing roller. The rotating head is symmetrically mounted on the protective plate. The indexing rollers are evenly installed circumferentially between the rotating heads. The auxiliary pin is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the mounting bracket. A second spring is connected between the auxiliary pin and the mounting bracket. The second spring has a reset function. One end of the linkage belt is connected to the auxiliary pin, and the other end of the linkage belt is connected to the rotating head located in the middle after passing around the rotating head.

[0012] Preferably, the anti-blocking module includes a rocker arm, a rotating shaft, a swaying element, a spreading mechanism, and a pressure switch. The rocker arm is mounted below the protective plate by rotating left and right via the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is slidably mounted in the protective plate. A spring three connects the rotating shaft and the protective plate, and spring three serves as a reset mechanism. The swaying element is mounted on the rocker arm by rotating back and forth. A spring four connects the swaying elements, and spring four serves as a reset mechanism. A spring five connects the swaying element and the protective plate, and spring five serves as a buffer reset mechanism. The spreading mechanism controls the swaying element to swing back and forth. The pressure switch is mounted on a mounting bracket, and the pressure switch is positioned corresponding to spring one. The pressure switch is a pressure sensor of the prior art, and spring one applies pressure to the pressure switch.

[0013] Preferably, the spreading mechanism includes a drive motor, a pusher, a connecting rod, and a pressing rod. The drive motor is installed in a hidden slot inside the mounting bracket, and a power supply is provided in the hidden slot. The pressure switch, drive motor, and power supply are electrically connected. The pusher is slidably disposed in the hidden slot. The front end of the pusher has an arc plate structure, and the front end of the pusher and the rear end of the rotating shaft are in contact and pressing fit. Since the position of the rotating shaft is not fixed, when the bearing plate rotates, the protective plate rotates with the bearing plate, and the position of the rotating shaft on the protective plate changes. The arc plate structure at the front end of the pusher ensures that the rotating shaft is always in contact with the front end of the pusher. A cam is installed at the output end of the drive motor. The cam and pusher are connected to the two ends of the connecting rod via pins. The extrusion rod is slidably set in the rocker. The rotating shaft has an extrusion groove that engages with the extrusion rod. The extrusion rod and the rocker are in an extrusion engagement. The extrusion rod eccentrically extrudes the rocker, causing it to rotate. The number of rockers is not unique. The rockers are arranged in a front-to-back pattern. When the rocker is extruded by the extrusion rod, it rotates backward (because the extrusion rod eccentrically extrudes the front side of the rocker). When the rocker is extruded by the extrusion rod, it rotates forward (because the extrusion rod eccentrically extrudes the rear side of the rocker). This achieves the effect of the rocker spreading the chicken pieces to the front and back.

[0014] Preferably, the flipping module includes a flipping frame, a flipping box, and a flipping mechanism. The flipping frame is rotatably mounted on the right side of the support plate via an electric turntable. The cross-section of the flipping frame is cross-shaped. One end of the flipping box is evenly rotated on the flipping frame via a rotating shaft. A spring six is ​​connected between the flipping box and the flipping frame. The spring six plays a reset role. The flipping mechanism controls the flipping box to flip and unload materials.

[0015] Preferably, the flipping frame and the flipping box are both stainless steel perforated mesh structures. The stainless steel perforated mesh structure has uniform gaps that facilitate the falling of flour, avoiding problems such as flour accumulation that makes it difficult to clean and the growth of bacteria.

[0016] Preferably, the flipping mechanism includes a flipping gear and a flipping rack. The flipping gear is coaxially mounted on the end of the rotating shaft, and the flipping rack is mounted on the bearing plate. The flipping rack has an arc shape, and the flipping rack and the flipping gear are in temporary meshing engagement.

[0017] In summary, the beneficial technical effects of this application are as follows: The chicken nugget processing and conveying production line with sterilization function described in this invention uses flexible buffering to receive freely falling chicken nuggets, and utilizes the impact of the chicken nuggets' own gravity to slightly shake and remove powder. The position of the chicken nuggets is corrected in multiple ways with small contact area and low force to avoid the chicken nuggets standing upright and causing blockage, and also to avoid excessive damage to the flour layer on the surface of the chicken nuggets. When too many chicken nuggets are detected, they are dispersed in the front and back directions by pushing back and forth to ensure smooth operation of the equipment. The flipping module flips the chicken nuggets to ensure that the chicken nuggets undergo at least one flipping action, thereby removing excess flour from the surface of the chicken nuggets.

[0020] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-10 This application will be described in further detail.

[0021] This application discloses a chicken nugget processing and conveying production line with sterilization function. The free-falling chicken nuggets are flexibly buffered and supported, and the chicken nuggets are slightly shaken by their own weight to remove flour. The chicken nuggets are then guided to enter the flipping module for body flipping to ensure that excess flour is removed.

[0022] Reference Figures 1-4 As shown, a chicken nugget processing and conveying production line with sterilization function includes an outer frame 1, a pre-processing module 2, a primary conveyor belt 3, a secondary conveyor belt 4, a receiving module 5, an adjustment module 6, an anti-blocking module 7, and a flipping module 8. The pre-processing module 2 is located at the left end of the outer frame 1, the primary conveyor belt 3 is located in the middle of the outer frame 1, the secondary conveyor belt 4 is located on the right side of the outer frame 1, the receiving module 5 is located in the outer frame 1, between the primary conveyor belt 3 and the secondary conveyor belt 4, and the receiving module 5 transfers the chicken nuggets output from the primary conveyor belt 3 to the secondary conveyor belt 4. The adjustment module 6 is located on the receiving module 5, and the adjustment module 6 allows the chicken nuggets to move in a flat position. The anti-blocking module 7 is located on the receiving module 5, and the anti-blocking module 7 assists the adjustment module 6 in restricting the movement of the chicken nuggets and clearing blockages when they occur. The flipping module 8 is located in the receiving module 5, and the flipping module 8 flips the chicken nuggets over for adjustment.

[0023] In the actual chicken nugget production process, the pre-processing module 2 processes frozen chicken raw materials into block-shaped semi-finished chicken nuggets and coats them with flour. The flour-coated chicken nuggets are output to the receiving module 5 via the primary conveyor belt 3. At the same time, the primary conveyor belt 3 vibrates slightly to shake the chicken nuggets, causing excess flour to fall off. The chicken nuggets falling into the receiving module 5 impact the receiving module 5 under the action of gravity, causing the receiving module 5 to vibrate slightly. This helps the chicken nuggets move inside the receiving module 5 and further shakes the chicken nuggets to make the flour fall off. The chicken nuggets move from the upper left to the lower right inside the receiving module 5. During the movement, the adjustment module 6 adjusts the position of the chicken nuggets to keep them as flat as possible and prevent the chicken nuggets from moving into the adjustment module 6. The internal upright position can cause blockages. The anti-blockage module 7 further restricts the position of the chicken pieces, keeping them in a flat position before being output to the flipping module 8. At the same time, the anti-blockage module 7 performs front and rear dispersion to prevent blockage when it senses too many chicken pieces entering. The chicken pieces entering the flipping module 8 are limited and rotated, thus flipping the chicken pieces and ensuring that excess flour on the surface of the chicken pieces falls off. The flipped chicken pieces fall onto the secondary conveyor belt 4 and are transported to the designated position for frying. This application catches the chicken pieces in free fall, uses the weight of the chicken pieces to further shake and make the flour fall off, and adjusts the position of the chicken pieces so that they are flipped in an orderly and regular manner, ensuring that the side of the chicken pieces with accumulated flour can be flipped stably, thereby ensuring that the flour coating is even.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the pretreatment module 2 is equipped with an ultraviolet sterilization device. Existing ultraviolet sterilization devices sterilize and disinfect ingredients such as chicken and equipment to ensure food safety.

[0025] In actual operation, the pre-processing module 2 of the existing technology performs operations such as slicing, mincing, mixing seasonings, shaping, and coating chicken raw materials.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, both the primary conveyor belt 3 and the secondary conveyor belt 4 are stainless steel mesh belt conveyors, which are existing technologies. The surface of the stainless steel mesh belt conveyor has uniform gaps, which facilitates the falling of excess flour from the chicken pieces and avoids the accumulation of flour on the surface. A vibrator that works with the primary conveyor belt 3 is installed on the outer frame 1. The vibrator is also existing technology. The vibrator drives the primary conveyor belt 3 to vibrate slightly, thereby initially removing the flour from the chicken pieces.

[0027] Reference Figure 3As shown, the receiving module 5 includes a mounting bracket 51, a bearing plate 52, a sliding groove 53, a protective plate 54, and a conveying channel 55. The mounting bracket 51 is installed on the inner side wall of the outer frame 1. The right end of the bearing plate 52 is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 51 via a pin. The bearing plate 52 receives the chicken pieces falling from the primary conveyor belt 3. A spring is connected between the bearing plate 52 and the mounting bracket 51. The spring serves to buffer and support the reset. The bearing plate 52 has a mesh structure with gaps to facilitate the falling of flour. A guide pin is installed on the left side wall of the bearing plate 52. The guide pin is slidably positioned in the sliding groove 53 opened on the mounting bracket 51. The sliding groove 53 serves to guide and limit the movement. The protective plate 54 is installed on the upper surface of the bearing plate 52. The protective plate 54 serves to block and protect the chicken pieces falling from the primary conveyor belt 3, allowing them to fall smoothly onto the secondary conveyor belt 4. The protective plate 54 and the bearing plate 52 together form the conveying channel 55, which gradually flattens from left to right.

[0028] During the actual receiving process, the chicken pieces fall into the upper left of the support plate 52. Under the impact of the chicken pieces' gravity, the support plate 52 rotates, and the springs work together to provide elastic cushioning, causing the support plate 52 to shake slightly. Under the shaking, the chicken pieces move from the upper left of the support plate 52 to the lower right of the support plate 52 (the support plate 52 itself is inclined, so even without shaking, the chicken pieces would slide down under gravity; the shaking here helps them slide down). At the same time, some of the excess flour on the chicken pieces is removed under the shaking (the shaking is small, and only a small amount of flour falls off, avoiding excessive shaking that could cause too much flour to fall off or the chicken pieces to scatter and deform). After shaking, the chicken pieces enter the conveyor channel 55, which restricts the position of the chicken pieces to a certain extent.

[0029] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 7 As shown, in order to adjust the position of the chicken pieces and prevent them from blocking the conveyor channel 55, this application provides an adjustment module 6. The adjustment module 6 includes an adjustment roller, an auxiliary pin 63, and a linkage belt 64. The adjustment roller consists of a rotating head 61 and an indexing roller 62. The rotating head 61 is symmetrically rotated on the protective plate 54. The indexing rollers 62 are evenly installed circumferentially between the rotating heads 61. The auxiliary pin 63 is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the mounting bracket 51. A spring 2 is connected between the auxiliary pin 63 and the mounting bracket 51. The spring 2 plays a reset role. One end of the linkage belt 64 is connected to the auxiliary pin 63, and the other end of the linkage belt 64 is connected to the rotating head 61 after passing around the rotating head 61.

[0030] During the actual position adjustment process, the bearing plate 52 rotates, causing the linkage belt 64 to be slightly pulled. The pulled linkage belt 64 causes the rotating head 61 to rotate counterclockwise, and the indexing roller 62 rotates with the rotating head 61. The top of the upright chicken piece comes into contact with the indexing roller 62. Since the rotating head 61 rotates counterclockwise, the movement direction of the contact point between the indexing roller 62 and the chicken piece is from right to left. Since the chicken piece itself moves from left to right, the indexing roller 62 applies a force in the opposite direction to the top of the chicken piece, causing the upright chicken piece to fall down. Thus, the position adjustment of the chicken piece is achieved by using the impact force of the falling chicken piece. In addition, the contact area between the indexing roller 62 and the chicken piece is small, avoiding crushing and deformation of the chicken piece and crushing and damaging the flour layer.

[0031] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 As shown, in order to adjust the position of the chicken pieces so that they can smoothly enter the flipping module 8, and to clear any blockages caused by the chicken pieces, this application provides an anti-blockage module 7. The anti-blockage module 7 includes a rocking component 71, a rotating shaft 72, a rocking component 73, a spreading mechanism 74, and a pressure switch 75. The rocking component 71 is mounted below the protective plate 54 and rotates left and right via the rotating shaft 72. The rotating shaft 72 is slidably mounted in the protective plate 54. A spring 3 connects the rotating shaft 72 and the protective plate 54 and serves as a reset mechanism. The rocking component 73 is mounted on the rocking component 71 and rotates back and forth. A spring 4 connects the rocking component 73 and the rocking component 71 and serves as a reset mechanism. A spring 5 connects the rocking component 73 and the protective plate 54 and serves as a buffer reset mechanism. The spreading mechanism 74 controls the rocking component 73 to swing back and forth. The pressure switch 75 is mounted on the mounting bracket 51 and is positioned corresponding to the spring 1. The pressure switch 75 is a pressure sensor of the prior art. The spring 1 applies pressure to the pressure switch 75.

[0032] During actual operation, the chicken pieces come into contact with the swinging member 73 as they move in the conveying channel 55. The inclined swinging member 73 makes the chicken pieces fit more closely with the bottom surface of the conveying channel 55 (so that the chicken pieces are in a flat position), thus allowing the chicken pieces to enter the flipping module 8 in a suitable position. Under the action of the spring 3, the swinging member 73 adjusts the position of the chicken pieces more gently (the swinging member 73 can swing left and right in the swinging member 71), avoiding strong compression between the two that would damage the flour layer on the surface of the chicken pieces. When there are too many chicken pieces, the impact force generated by the falling chicken pieces is large, and the pressure switch 75 is triggered. The spreading mechanism 74 drives the swinging member 73 to swing back and forth in the back and forth direction, so that the chicken pieces are evenly spread in the back and forth direction, avoiding blockage.

[0033] Reference Figure 8As shown, the vibrating conveyor belt 3 may cause the chicken pieces to clump together due to vibration, potentially leading to blockages after they fall into the receiving module 5. Therefore, this application provides a spreading mechanism 74, which includes a drive motor 741, a pusher 742, a connecting rod 743, and a pressing rod 744. The drive motor 741 is installed in a hidden slot inside the mounting bracket 51, where a power supply is located. The pressure switch 75, drive motor 741, and power supply are electrically connected. The pusher 742 is slidably positioned in the hidden slot, with its front end being an arc-shaped plate structure. The front end of the pusher 742 and the rear end of the rotating shaft 72 are in contact and pressing fit. Since the position of the rotating shaft 72 is not fixed, when the bearing plate 52 rotates, the protective plate 54 rotates with it, causing the rotating shaft 72 on the protective plate 54 to change position. The arc-shaped plate structure at the front end of the pusher 742 ensures the stability of the rotating shaft 72. 2. Always in contact with the front end of the pusher 742, the output end of the drive motor 741 is equipped with a cam. The cam and the pusher 742 are connected to the two ends of the connecting rod 743 by pins. The extrusion rod 744 is slidably set in the rocker 71. The rotating shaft 72 is provided with an extrusion groove 721 that is extruded and engaged with the extrusion rod 744. The extrusion rod 744 and the rocker 73 are in an extrusion engagement. The extrusion rod 744 extrudes the rocker 73 eccentrically, causing the rocker 73 to rotate. The number of rocker 73 is not unique. The rocker 73 are arranged in a front-to-back arrangement. When the rocker 73 located on the rear side is extruded by the extrusion rod 744, it rotates backward (because the extrusion rod 744 eccentrically extrudes the front side of the rocker 73). When the rocker 73 located on the front side is extruded by the extrusion rod 744, it rotates forward (because the extrusion rod 744 eccentrically extrudes the rear side of the rocker 73). This achieves the effect of the rocker 73 spreading the chicken pieces to the front and back.

[0034] During the actual anti-clogging process, the falling chicken pieces cause the support plate 52 to be subjected to a large impact. The spring transmits this impact to the pressure switch 75, which is triggered. A connected circuit is formed between the pressure switch 75, the drive motor 741, and the power supply. The drive motor 741 starts, and under the action of the cam and the connecting rod 743, the pusher 742 moves back and forth. When the pusher 742 moves forward, the rotating shaft 72 is pushed forward, and the extrusion groove 721 extrudes the extrusion rod 744. After being extruded, the extrusion rod 744 moves. The moving extrusion rod 744 extrudes the swinging member 73, causing the swinging member 73 to swing in the back and forth direction, thereby spreading the chicken pieces in the back and forth direction and avoiding excessive accumulation of chicken pieces that could cause clogging.

[0035] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 9 , Figure 10As shown, in order to ensure that the chicken pieces are turned over at least once during the conveying process, so as to remove the excess flour on the surface of the chicken pieces more thoroughly, this application provides a turning module 8. The turning module 8 includes a turning frame 81, a turning frame 82, and a turning mechanism. The turning frame 81 is rotatably mounted on the right side of the bearing plate 52 via an electric turntable. The cross section of the turning frame 81 is cross-shaped. One end of the turning frame 82 is evenly rotated on the turning frame 81 via a rotating shaft. A spring 6 is connected between the turning frame 82 and the turning frame 81. The spring 6 plays a reset role. The turning mechanism controls the turning frame 82 to turn and unload the chicken pieces.

[0036] Reference Figure 9 As shown, the flipping frame 81 and the flipping frame 82 are both stainless steel hollow mesh structures. The stainless steel hollow mesh structure has uniform gaps that facilitate the falling of flour, avoiding problems such as flour accumulation that makes it difficult to clean and the growth of bacteria.

[0037] Reference Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, the flipping mechanism includes a flipping gear 83 and a flipping rack 84. The flipping gear 83 is coaxially mounted on the end of the rotating shaft, and the flipping rack 84 is mounted on the bearing plate 52. The flipping rack 84 has an arc shape, and the flipping rack 84 and the flipping gear 83 are in temporary meshing engagement.

[0038] During the actual flipping process, the chicken pieces enter the flipping frame 82 from the conveyor channel 55. The flipping frame 82 simultaneously limits the entry of the chicken pieces. The flipping frame 81 rotates continuously under the action of the electric turntable, and the flipping frame 82 rotates with the flipping frame 81. When the flipping frame 81 moves to the upper right position, the flipping gear 83 and the flipping rack 84 engage. As the flipping frame 82 continues to rotate with the flipping frame 81, the flipping gear 83 rotates under the action of the flipping rack 84, thereby causing the flipping frame 82 to rotate itself. The rotating flipping frame 82 drives the chicken pieces to achieve body flipping, so that the excess flour on the surface of the chicken pieces falls off under the action of gravity. At the same time, the rotated flipping frame 82 can no longer bear the chicken pieces. Under the action of gravity, the chicken pieces fall onto the secondary conveyor belt 4. Then, the secondary conveyor belt 4 transports the chicken pieces coated with flour evenly to the frying tank for frying.

[0039] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: Step 1: Pre-processing module 2 processes the frozen chicken raw materials into block-shaped semi-finished chicken pieces and coats them with powder; Step 2: The chicken pieces coated with flour are output to the support plate 52 via the primary conveyor belt 3. The primary conveyor belt 3 vibrates slightly to shake the chicken pieces, causing excess flour to fall off. Step 3: The chicken pieces falling into the support plate 52 impact the support plate 52 under the action of gravity, causing the support plate 52 to shake slightly and causing excess flour on the chicken pieces to fall off. Step 4: The chicken pieces are moved into the conveyor channel 55, and the rotating head 61 applies a force in the opposite direction to the direction of movement of the chicken pieces, so that some of the chicken pieces that are standing upright tend to lie flat. Step 5: The swinging component 73 swings left and right to flexibly adjust the position of the chicken pieces. When there are too many chicken pieces, the pressure switch 75 is triggered by pressure, and the swinging component 73 swings back and forth to disperse the chicken pieces in the back and forth direction to avoid blockage. Step 6: The chicken pieces entering the flipping module 8 are limited by rotation, which flips the chicken pieces and ensures that excess flour on the surface of the chicken pieces falls off. Step 7: The flipped chicken pieces fall onto the secondary conveyor belt 4 and are transported to the designated location for frying.

[0040] The foregoing has only described certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the foregoing drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
