[0026] To explain the technical content, objectives, and effects of this invention in detail, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the terms "above" and "below" used in the following description refer to the attached drawings. Figure 2 and 6 The direction in the middle, the words "bottom" and "top" refer to the attached Figure 1 The direction towards the geometric center of a specific component.

[0027] The most crucial concept of this invention lies in the following: the conveying device 1, the fixing seat 2, and the clamping assembly 3 serve to fix, clamp, and convey the chicken breast caps to be separated; the side-pressing mechanism is used to press down the unfolded chicken breast caps to prevent them from retracting and affecting the subsequent tearing and separation effect, thus limiting the position of the chicken breast caps; when the chicken breast caps to be separated are conveyed to the rear clearance channel 5, the grippers and the driving mechanism are used to grip the tops of the chicken breast caps on both sides and tear the two chicken breast caps off from top to bottom, thus automatically tearing and separating the chicken breast caps from both sides of the chicken breast caps; the limiting rod 4 serves to limit the position of the chicken breast caps on both sides in the middle; and the feeding mechanism is used to push the chicken breast caps that have moved to the top of the collection box from the grippers into the collection box, thus automatically collecting the separated chicken breast caps.

[0028] It has a high degree of overall automation and has the advantages of high separation efficiency of chicken breast C, low labor intensity and good separation effect.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 9 As shown, a chicken breast separation device includes a conveying device 1. The conveying device 1 is connected to several fixed seats 2 for vertically placing chicken breast covers. The fixed seats 2 are equipped with clamping components 3 for fixing and clamping the middle of the chicken breast covers. A side pressing mechanism for laterally pressing and unfolding the chicken breast covers is mounted on one side of the conveying device 1 along the conveying direction. A set of grippers for gripping the connection between the two sides of the chicken breast covers and the upper end of the chicken breast covers and a driving mechanism for driving the grippers to tear the chicken breast covers from top to bottom are provided on one side of the conveying device 1. The driving end of the driving mechanism is connected to a limiting rod 4 for preventing the middle two sides of the chicken breast covers from shaking. The grippers and the limiting rod 4 are both V-shaped. The closed ends of a set of grippers are fixedly connected to the two open ends of the limiting rod 4 respectively. The side pressing mechanism is provided with a rear clearance channel 5 for the grippers to pass through. Below the rear clearance channel 5 is a collection box for collecting the chicken breast covers and a feeding mechanism for pushing the chicken breast covers from the grippers into the collection box.

[0030] As described above, when it is necessary to tear the chicken breast c from both sides of the chicken breast cover, firstly, the raw material of the chicken breast cover to be separated is placed vertically on the fixed seat 2 through the fixed seat 2 and the clamping assembly 3, so that the wide end a of the raw material of the chicken breast cover is located at the upper end of the fixed seat and the narrow end b of the raw material of the chicken breast cover is located at the lower end of the fixed seat. The clamping assembly 3 clamps the chicken breast cover to be separated in the middle onto the fixed seat 2, which serves to fix and clamp the chicken breast cover. Then, the chicken breast c, which has been gathered on both sides of the chicken breast cover, is unfolded. Through the conveying device 1, the fixed seat 2 is moved towards the gripper, which serves to automatically convey the chicken breast cover to be separated. Then, the side pressing mechanism is used to press the unfolded chicken breast c to prevent the chicken breast c from re-folding, which serves to limit the chicken breast c. When the chicken breast cover to be separated is conveyed to the rear clearance channel 5, the external controller controls the conveying device to pause, and the drive motor is started through the gripper and drive mechanism. The mechanism involves a drive mechanism that moves a set of grippers to the top of the chicken breasts on both sides of the chicken breast cover, gripping them and tearing them off from top to bottom. This automatically separates the chicken breasts from the sides of the chicken breast cover. While the grippers are tearing the chicken breasts, V-shaped limiting rods 4 limit the movement of the chicken breasts from the middle sides, preventing them from wobbling and affecting the tearing speed and quality, thus further improving the separation efficiency and effect. After the drive mechanism has torn the chicken breasts off the chicken breast cover from top to bottom, the grippers and chicken breasts are moved down to the top of the collection box. A feeding mechanism then pushes the chicken breasts from the grippers into the collection box, automatically collecting the separated chicken breasts. After the chicken breasts are separated, the conveyor is restarted to continue conveying.

[0031] Furthermore, the gripper includes a front gripper 6 and a rear gripper 7. The top end of the front gripper 6 is provided with a front arc-shaped portion 8 that protrudes outward toward the fixed base 2, and the top end of the rear gripper 7 is provided with a rear arc-shaped portion 9 that protrudes outward toward the fixed base 2. The top end of the front arc-shaped portion 8 is connected to one side of the top end of the rear arc-shaped portion 9. A gripping channel 10 is formed between the front arc-shaped portion 8 and the rear arc-shaped portion 9 for gripping the connection between the two sides of the chicken breast cover and the upper end of the chicken breast c. The gripping channel 10 is gradually narrowed from top to bottom.

[0032] As can be seen from the above description, the front arc-shaped part 8 and the rear arc-shaped part 9 protrude outward towards the fixed seat 2 to simulate artificial fingers. The top of the connection between the chicken breast c and the chicken breast cover is clamped in the clamping channel 10. Under the blocking effect of the connection between the top of the front arc-shaped part 8 and the top of the rear arc-shaped part 9, it is convenient for the front clamping rod 6 and the rear clamping rod 7 to tear the chicken breast c from the sides of the chicken breast cover from top to bottom, which further ensures the separation efficiency and separation effect of the chicken breast c.

[0033] Furthermore, the upper sections of the front arc-shaped portion 8 and the rear arc-shaped portion 9 are provided with several anti-slip teeth 40 on their adjacent inner sides. The front arc-shaped portion 8 is connected to a blade 11 on the side near the rear arc-shaped portion 9. The blade 11 is located on the two adjacent sides of the two front arc-shaped portions 8.

[0034] As described above, during the process of tearing the chicken breast c from both sides of the chicken breast cover from top to bottom, the anti-slip teeth 40 increase the friction between the front arc-shaped part 8, the rear arc-shaped part 9 and the chicken breast meat, and increase the clamping force of the upper part of the front arc-shaped part 8 and the rear arc-shaped part 9 on the chicken breast c, thereby further improving the clamping effect of the grippers on the chicken breast c; the blade 11 accelerates the separation efficiency of the chicken breast c while making the torn opening of the separated chicken breast c relatively flat, ensuring the quality of the separated chicken breast c, and further ensuring the separation efficiency and separation effect of the chicken breast c.

[0035] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a housing 12, a long connecting rod 13, an upper short connecting rod 14, and a lower short connecting rod 15 arranged in a U-shape. The two ends of the upper short connecting rod 14 are rotatably connected to the top of the housing 12 and the middle of the long connecting rod 13, respectively. The closed end of the lower short connecting rod 15 is rotatably connected to the rear end of the long connecting rod 13, and the two vertical ends of the lower short connecting rod 15 are rotatably connected to the upper sides of the housing 12. A side opening 16 for the long connecting rod 13 to move is provided on the side of the housing 12 near the fixed base 2. The front section of the long connecting rod 13 is located outside the side opening 16 and is a slanted rod portion 17 inclined upwards near the fixed base 2. The slanted rod portion 17 is fixedly connected to the closed end of the limiting rod 4. A first motor 18 for driving the rotation of one open end of the lower short connecting rod 15 is installed on one side of the housing 12. A first photoelectric switch 19 for detecting whether there is chicken breast cap raw material is installed on one side of the housing 12. The first photoelectric switch 19 is electrically connected to an external controller.

[0036] As described above, when the chicken breast cap material to be separated is conveyed to the rear clearance channel 5, the first photoelectric switch 19 sends a signal that it has detected the presence of chicken breast cap material to the external controller. The external controller controls the first motor 18 to start. The drive end of the first motor 18 rotates, which drives the lower short connecting rod 15 to rotate, and drives the long connecting rod 13 and the upper short connecting rod 14 to rotate. This drives the limiting rod 4 connected to the inclined rod 17 and the gripper to make a downward curved motion toward the rear clearance channel 5, thereby driving the gripper to move toward the chicken breast cap to be separated and separating the chicken breast from top to bottom. The side opening 16 is provided to facilitate the reciprocating curved drive of the long connecting rod 13.

[0037] Furthermore, the side-pressing mechanism includes a bracket 20, a limiting plate 21, an upper pressing rod 22, and a lower pressing rod 23, all mounted on the bracket 20. An upper limit channel 24 is formed between the limiting plate 21 and the upper pressing rod 22 for the upper end of the chicken breast c to pass through. A lower limit channel 25 is formed between the lower pressing rod 23 and the limiting plate 21 for the lower end of the chicken breast c to pass through. The limiting plate 21, the upper pressing rod 22, and the lower pressing rod 23 are all provided with a break 26. A rear clearance channel 5 for the gripper to pass through is formed between the breaks 26.

[0038] As can be seen from the above description, when the chicken breast c is unfolded, the upper and lower ends of the chicken breast c enter the upper limit channel 24 respectively. The upper pressure rod 22 and the limiting plate 21 are used to limit the upper two sides of the chicken breast c, and the lower pressure rod 23 and the limiting plate 21 are used to limit the lower two sides of the chicken breast c, so as to prevent the upper and lower ends of the chicken breast c from shaking, thus playing the role of limiting the chicken breast c.

[0039] Furthermore, between the input end of the conveying device 1 and the side pressure mechanism, there is also a set of opening rods 31 for unfolding the chicken breast c, a third photoelectric switch 43 for detecting the presence of the chicken breast c, and an electric push rod 32 for driving the opening rods 31 to rise and fall. The set of opening rods 31 are arranged in an inverted V-shape. The electric push rod 32 is connected to a linear guide rail 33 that drives it to move along the conveying direction. The front ends of the upper pressure rod 22 and the lower pressure rod 23 are provided with arc-shaped guide parts 41. A front clearance channel 42 is formed between the arc-shaped guide part 41 and the front end of the limiting plate 21, which gradually widens towards the linear guide rail 33 and allows the opening rods 31 to pass through.

[0040] As described above, after the chicken breast cap material to be separated is fixed on the fixed seat 2, the conveying device 1 first conveys the chicken breast cap to be separated to a position close to the bottom of the spreading rod 31. When the third photoelectric switch 43 detects the presence of chicken breast cap signal, it sends a signal to the external controller. The external controller controls the conveying device 1 to pause and then starts the electric push rod 32, which drives a set of spreading rods 31 to descend toward the middle of the chicken breast cap material. Since the spreading rods 31 are arranged in an inverted V-shape, as the spreading rods descend, the gathered chicken breast caps gradually unfold to both sides. When the spreading rods 31 descend to the preset height, the external controller controls the conveying device 1 and the linear guide rail 33 to move synchronously. The linear guide rail 33 drives the spreading rods 31 to move together with the chicken breast caps to the narrow end of the front clearance channel 42. The external controller then controls the linear guide rail 33 and the electric push rod 32 to reset, thereby driving the spreading rods 31 to reset. At the same time, the chicken breast caps continue to be conveyed into the upper limit channel 24 and the lower limit channel 25 by the conveying device 1, ensuring that the chicken breast caps on both sides are in the unfolded state.

[0041] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism includes a set of feeding stops 28 and a second motor 29 that drives the feeding stops 28 to rotate. The second motor 29 is installed on the top side of the collection box. The driving end of the second motor 29 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the feeding stops 28. The feeding stops are located below the middle of the opening end of the gripper. A second photoelectric switch for detecting whether there is a gripper is also mounted on the top side of the collection box.

[0042] As can be seen from the above description, when the gripper and the separated chicken breast c are driven down to the top of the collection box by the drive mechanism, the second photoelectric switch detects the gripper signal and sends it to the external controller. The external controller controls the drive end of the second motor 29 to rotate, which drives the feeding baffle 28 to rotate and pushes the chicken breast c on the gripper down into the collection box, thus automatically collecting the separated chicken breast c.

[0043] Furthermore, between the input end of the conveying device 1 and the side pressure mechanism, there is also a set of opening rods 31 for unfolding the chicken breast c, a third photoelectric switch 43 for detecting the presence of the chicken breast c, and an electric push rod 32 for driving the opening rods 31 to rise and fall. The set of opening rods 31 are arranged in an inverted V-shape. The electric push rod 32 is connected to a linear guide rail 33 that drives it to move along the conveying direction. The front ends of the upper pressure rod 22 and the lower pressure rod 23 are provided with arc-shaped guide parts 41. A front clearance channel 42 is formed between the arc-shaped guide part 41 and the front end of the limiting plate 21, which gradually widens towards the linear guide rail 33 and allows the opening rods 31 to pass through.

[0044] As described above, after the chicken breast cap material to be separated is fixed on the fixed seat 2, the conveying device 1 first conveys the chicken breast cap to be separated to a position close to the bottom of the spreading rod 31. When the third photoelectric switch 43 detects the presence of chicken breast cap signal, it sends a signal to the external controller. The external controller controls the conveying device 1 to pause and then starts the electric push rod 32, which drives a set of spreading rods 31 to descend toward the middle of the chicken breast cap material. Since the spreading rods 31 are arranged in an inverted V-shape, as the spreading rods descend, the gathered chicken breast caps gradually unfold to both sides. When the spreading rods 31 descend to the preset height, the external controller controls the conveying device 1 and the linear guide rail 33 to move synchronously. The linear guide rail 33 drives the spreading rods 31 to move together with the chicken breast caps to the narrow end of the front clearance channel 42. The external controller then controls the linear guide rail 33 and the electric push rod 32 to reset, thereby driving the spreading rods 31 to reset. At the same time, the chicken breast caps continue to be conveyed into the upper limit channel 24 and the lower limit channel 25 by the conveying device 1, ensuring that the chicken breast caps on both sides are in the unfolded state.

[0045] Furthermore, the clamping assembly 3 includes a support 34, a tension spring 36, a guide rod 37, a hook 35 inserted into the middle of the wide end of the chicken breast filler, and a clamping plate 38 for pressing the middle of the wide end of the chicken breast filler onto the fixed seat 2. The conveying end face of the conveying device 1 is detachably connected to one end of the fixed seat 2 via the support 34. The other end of the fixed seat 2 is provided with a limiting groove 39 for the guide rod 37 to slide away from the support 34. One end of the guide rod 37 is connected to the groove wall of the limiting groove 39 via the tension spring 36. An electromagnet (not shown in the figure, but the same applies throughout the text) is installed on the groove wall of the limiting groove 39 and fitted inside the tension spring 36. One end of the guide rod is fitted with an iron block magnetically connected to the electromagnet. The other end of the guide rod 37 is connected to the closed end of the clamping plate 38. The hook 35 is fixedly connected to the other end of the fixed seat 2 and is located between the clamping plate 38 and the fixed seat 2.

[0046] As described above, when it is necessary to fix the chicken breast cover to the fixing seat 2, firstly, insert the meat from the middle of the wide end a of the chicken breast cover material into the hook 35. Then, the electromagnet is energized by the external controller, and the electromagnet and the iron block are attracted by magnetism, thereby driving the guide rod 37 to move towards the support 34. This causes the clamping plate 38 to fit tightly against the outer surface of the middle of the wide end a of the chicken breast cover material, and presses the chicken breast cover material against the other end face of the fixing seat 2, thus achieving the function of clamping the chicken breast cover to the fixing seat 2. When it is necessary to remove the remaining chicken breast cover after the chicken breast meat has been removed, the external controller only needs to de-energize the electromagnet, and the electromagnet will separate from the iron block. Under the elastic force of the tension spring 36, the guide rod 37 will move away from the support 34, thereby driving the clamping plate 38 to move away from the other end face of the fixing seat, thus releasing the clamping effect of the clamping plate 38 on the remaining chicken breast cover.

[0047] Furthermore, a platform 44 and a feeding conveyor 45 located between the platform 44 and the conveying device 1 are provided on one side of the input end of the conveying device 1. A rotating component that rotates the fixed seat 2 180° is provided between one end of the fixed seat 2 and the support 34. Several bases 47 that move synchronously with the fixed seat 2 are evenly fixedly connected to the conveying end face of the feeding conveyor 45. A feeding plate 48 with one end rotatably connected to one side of the base 47 is provided. The feeding plate 48 has a groove for laying chicken breast filler material. An arc-shaped plate 66 for placing the chicken breast filler material in the middle of the wide end is provided on the base 47. One end of the feeding plate 48 has an opening The platform 44 is provided with a clearance slot for the arc plate 66 and the clamping plate 38 to pass through. The platform 44 is equipped with a front limiting post 49 and a rear limiting post 50, which are used to press the other end of the feeding plate 48 onto the platform 44. One end of the feeding plate 48 is connected to the base 47 by a torsion spring for driving the feeding plate 48 to rotate upward 90° towards the other end of the fixed seat 2. The other side of the base 47 near the fixed seat 2 is connected to a vertical baffle 51. Between the front limiting post 49 and the rear limiting post 50, there is a pressing mechanism that first presses the wide end of the chicken breast cover down to the hook 35, and then presses the feeding plate 48 down and flips it onto the platform 44.

[0048] As described above, when feeding is required, the fixed seat 2 is first rotated 180° using the rotating assembly, so that the end of the fixed seat 2 with the hook 35 rotates from the upper end of the support 34 to the lower end of the support 34. At this time, the tip of the hook 35 is facing upward. Then, the chicken breast cover raw material is placed horizontally in the groove on the feeding plate 48, with the wide end a of the chicken breast cover raw material in the groove facing the conveying device 1, the narrow end b of the chicken breast cover raw material facing the platform 44, and the inner surface of the chicken breast cover raw material facing upward. Then, the feeding conveyor 45 drives the base 47 and the corresponding fixed seat 2 to be synchronously conveyed towards the downward pressing mechanism, thereby driving the feeding plate 48 containing the chicken breast cover raw material and the corresponding fixed seat 2 to be synchronously conveyed towards the downward pressing mechanism. During this process, the other end of the feeding plate 48 is first limited by the front limit post 49 to the upper surface of the front limit post 49 and the platform 44. The feeding plate 48 is positioned horizontally parallel to the upper conveying end face of the feeding conveyor 45, thus providing initial positioning for the feeding plate 48. Simultaneously, it facilitates the horizontal placement of the chicken breast cap material within the groove, improving feeding efficiency. When the feeding plate 48, containing the chicken breast cap material, is conveyed together with the base 47 between the front limiting post 49 and the pressing mechanism, the other end of the feeding plate 48 loses the pressing resistance of the front limiting post 49. Under the elastic force of the torsion spring, the feeding plate 48, carrying the chicken breast cap material, quickly rotates upwards around one side of the base 47 towards the corresponding fixed seat 2, until the feeding plate 48 rotates 90° and is placed vertically. The chicken breast cap material is sandwiched between the feeding plate 48 and the fixed seat 2, with the inner surface of the chicken breast cap material adhering to the other end face of the fixed seat 2, thus achieving initial feeding of the chicken breast cap material.

[0049] Next, the pressing mechanism first presses down the chicken breast cover material sandwiched between the loading plate 48 and the fixed seat 2 until the hook 35 is inserted into the meat in the middle of the wide end a of the chicken breast cover material. The electromagnet is energized by the external controller, and the electromagnet and the iron block are attracted by magnetism, which drives the clamping plate 38 to clamp the middle of the wide end a of the chicken breast cover material. Then, the pressing mechanism flips the empty loading plate 48 downward away from the fixed seat 2 until it is flipped back to a horizontal position. This serves to fix the chicken breast cover material for a second time and automatically flip the empty loading plate 48 from the vertical position to the horizontal position. Finally, the rear limiting post 50 limits the loading plate 48, which has been restored to a horizontal position, between the rear limiting post 50 and the platform 44. This serves to limit the horizontal position of the loading plate 48 after loading.

[0050] Furthermore, a limiting pressure cap 53 for placing the narrow end of the chicken breast filler is slidably connected to the bottom of the groove along the line connecting the two ends of the feeding plate 48. A push rod 54 is vertically connected to the bottom of the limiting pressure cap 53. A rotating rod 55 is vertically fixedly connected to the bottom of one end of the feeding plate 48. A vertical through slot 56 is opened in the middle of the bottom of the groove for the push rod 54 to slide through along the line connecting the two ends of the feeding plate 48. The pressing mechanism includes a machine base 57, a fourth photoelectric switch 65, a lifting cylinder 58 installed on the machine base 57, a pressure plate 59 for pressing down and rotating the rotating rod 55 by 90°, and a third motor 61 for driving the pressure plate 59 to rotate. The top rod of the lifting cylinder 58 is connected to push rods respectively. The upper push plate 62 and the lower push plate 63 move downwards and upwards respectively. The upper push plate 62 and the lower push plate 63 are arranged alternately in front and behind each other along the conveying direction of the feeding plate 48. The fourth photoelectric switch 65 and the third motor 61 are located between the rear limit post 50 and the machine platform 57. They are located below the rear end of the lower push plate 63. The platform 44 has a clearance groove 64 for placing the third motor 61 and the pressure plate 59. The shortest lateral distance between the pressure plate 59 and the rear limit post 50 is less than the lateral distance between the side of the rotating rod 55 near the front limit post 49 and the side of the feeding plate 48 near the rear limit post 50. The machine platform 57 has a support part for supporting the rotating rod 55 on the side near the feeding plate 48.

[0051] As described above, during the upward flipping of the feeding plate 48, the limiting cover 53 limits the narrow end b of the chicken breast cover material, preventing it from falling out of the groove and thus providing initial positioning and fixation. Simultaneously, when the chicken breast cover material needs to be pressed down until the hook 35 is inserted into the meat at the wide end a, the external controller first activates the lifting cylinder 58 via the lifting cylinder 58, push rod 54, upper push plate 62, lower push plate 63, and limiting cover 53. The lifting cylinder 58 extends downwards, causing the upper push plate 62 to move the push rod 54 downwards within the vertical groove 56, which in turn pushes the limiting cover 53. The narrow end b of the chicken breast filler is pressed downwards until the hook 35 is inserted into the meat in the middle of the wide end a of the chicken breast filler. This simulates manually grasping the narrow end b of the chicken breast filler and pressing it down until the hook 35 is inserted into the meat in the middle of the wide end a of the chicken breast filler. This achieves the function of automatically pressing down the chicken breast filler and fixing it to the hook 35 of the fixed base 2. Then, the external controller controls the top rod of the lifting cylinder 58 to retract and reset upwards, driving the lower push plate 63 to move the push rod 54 upwards in the vertical through groove 56, thereby driving the limiting cover 53 to move upwards until the limiting cover 53 rises away from the narrow end b of the chicken breast filler, thus automatically pushing the limiting cover 53 to rise and fall.

[0052] Then, as the push rod 54 is about to leave the lower push plate 63, the fourth photoelectric switch 65 detects the presence of the loading plate 48 through the fourth photoelectric switch 65, the third motor 61, and the pressure plate 59. The fourth photoelectric switch 65 sends the signal of the loading plate 48 to the external controller, which then controls the third motor 61 to start. The drive end of the third motor 61 rotates, causing the pressure plate 59 to rotate downwards towards the rotating rod 55. After the lower end of the pressure plate 59 contacts the upper end surface of the rotating rod 55, the pressure plate 59 rotates to press down on the rotating rod 55, thereby causing the loading plate 48 to flip downwards away from the fixed base 2 until the other side of the loading plate 48... The end is flipped and reset to be placed horizontally again. Finally, since the shortest lateral distance between the pressure plate 59 and the rear limit post 50 is less than the lateral distance between the side of the rotating rod 55 near the front limit post 49 and the side of the feeding plate 48 near the rear limit post 50, when the rotating rod 55 leaves the pressure plate 59, the other end of the feeding plate 48 will enter between the rear limit post 50 and the platform 44. In addition, the support part is used to support and limit the rotating rod 55 in the vertical position, so as to prevent the feeding plate 48 from flipping downward when the lifting cylinder 58 drives the upper and lower push plates 63 to lift and lower the push rod 54, thus limiting the feeding plate 48 before it is conveyed to the pressure plate 59.

The bottom of the groove is slidably connected to a limiting cover 53 for placing the chicken breast cap raw material in the narrow end along the line connecting the two ends of the feeding plate 48. The bottom of the limiting cover 53 is vertically connected to a push rod 54. One end of the feeding plate 48 is vertically fixedly connected to a rotating rod 55.

The other side of the base 47 near the fixed seat 2 is connected to a vertical baffle 51. Between the front limiting post 49 and the rear limiting post 50, there is a pressing mechanism that first presses the wide end of the chicken breast cover down to the hook 35, and then presses the feeding plate 48 down again and flips it onto platform 44. The rotating component in this embodiment is a gear 46, which is actuated by manual rotation or by an actuator located along the conveying track of the conveying device 1. This structure is prior art and will not be explained in detail here.

[0064] The pressing mechanism includes a machine base 57, a fourth photoelectric switch 65, a lifting cylinder 58 mounted on the machine base 57, a pressure plate 59 for pressing down and rotating the rotating rod 55 by 90°, and a third motor 61 for driving the pressure plate 59 to rotate.

The shortest lateral distance D between the pressure plate 59 and the rear limit post 50 is less than the lateral distance d between the side of the rotating rod 55 near the front limit post 49 and the side of the feeding plate 48 near the rear limit post 50. The machine base 57 has a support part for supporting the rotating rod 55 on the side near the feeding plate 48 (not shown in the figure, the same applies throughout the text).

[0065] In summary, compared with existing technologies, this invention has a higher degree of automation and advantages such as high efficiency in separating chicken breasts, low labor intensity, and good separation effect. The conveying device 1, the fixing seat 2, and the clamping assembly 3 serve to fix, clamp, and convey the chicken breast caps to be separated. The side-pressing mechanism is used to press down on the unfolded chicken breast, preventing it from retracting and affecting the subsequent tearing and separation effect, thus limiting the movement of the chicken breast. When the chicken breast caps to be separated are conveyed to the rear clearance channel 5, the grippers and drive mechanism... The drive mechanism is activated, which moves a set of grippers to the top of the chicken breasts on both sides of the chicken breast cover to grab them and tear them off from top to bottom, thus automatically separating the chicken breasts from the sides of the chicken breast cover. After the drive mechanism drives the grippers to tear the chicken breasts off the chicken breast cover from top to bottom, the grippers and chicken breasts will continue to be moved down to the top of the collection box by the drive mechanism. The feeding mechanism will then push the chicken breasts that have moved to the top of the collection box off the grippers into the collection box, thus automatically collecting the separated chicken breasts.

The top rod of the lifting cylinder is connected to a... The upper and lower push plates, which push the push rod downward and upward respectively, are arranged in an alternating pattern along the conveying direction of the feeding plate. The fourth photoelectric switch and the third motor are located between the rear limit post and the machine platform, below the rear end of the lower push plate. The platform has a clearance groove for placing the third motor and the pressure plate. The shortest lateral distance between the pressure plate and the rear limit post is less than the lateral distance between the side of the rotating rod near the front limit post and the side of the feeding plate near the rear limit post. The side of the machine platform near the feeding plate has a support part for supporting the rotating rod.
