Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of poultry meat product processing, and particularly relates to an epidermal hair removal device for poultry meat product processing. Background Art

[0002] In the production and processing of agricultural and sideline products, in order to ensure that the surface of poultry products is clean, hygienic, and meets food safety standards, it is usually necessary to remove the feathers on the surface of slaughtered poultry through a hair removal machine. This process is a key step in poultry processing, which not only improves production efficiency but also ensures the appearance quality and hygienic conditions of the products, prepares for subsequent processes such as cutting, cleaning, and packaging, and thus enhances the market competitiveness and added value of agricultural and sideline products.

[0003] When traditional poultry hair removal machines are used for hair removal, the removed feathers generally leak through the gap between the rotating turntable and the barrel wall to the lower wall and then are discharged. When multiple poultry are processed at one time, a large amount of feathers will be quickly generated and discharged through the gap between the turntable and the barrel wall. If the amount of feathers is too large or the feathers are entangled together, it is very easy to block the discharge port, affecting the smooth discharge of feathers, resulting in the need to clean the inner side of the barrel wall again after each hair removal, reducing the overall work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the disadvantage that the feathers on the barrel wall are not easily cleaned effectively, the present invention provides an epidermal hair removal device for poultry meat product processing.

[0005] An epidermal hair removal device for poultry meat product processing includes a fixed base, the fixed base is provided with a drain port, a guide slope is arranged inside the fixed base, the fixed base is fixedly connected with a fixed retaining ring, a movable retaining ring is slidably connected between the fixed base and the fixed retaining ring, the movable retaining ring is used to block the drain port of the fixed base, a first spring symmetrically distributed along the movable retaining ring is fixedly connected between the fixed base and the movable retaining ring, the fixed base is fixedly connected with a motor, the fixed base is rotatably connected with a rotating frame, the rotating frame is threadedly connected with the movable retaining ring, a plurality of rubber columns are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed retaining ring and the top of the rotating frame, a ring-shaped water pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed retaining ring, and the ring-shaped water pipe is communicated with folding nozzles and an angle adjustment assembly distributed circumferentially.

[0006] Further, the angle adjustment assembly includes first fixing blocks symmetrically distributed along the folding nozzles, the first fixing blocks are fixedly connected with the fixed retaining ring, the first fixing blocks are rotatably connected with rotating plates, the rotating plates are fixedly connected with adjacent folding nozzles, a torsion spring is fixedly connected between the folding nozzles and adjacent first fixing blocks, and a top frame is slidably connected to the fixed retaining ring and contacts the rotating plates.

[0007] Further, the top frame is fixedly connected with the movable retaining ring.

[0008] Further, it further includes fixing frames symmetrically distributed along the fixed base. The fixing frames are fixedly connected to the fixed base. A clamping frame for clamping the movable retaining ring is slidably connected to the fixing frames. A second spring is fixedly connected between the fixing frame and the adjacent clamping frame.

[0009] Further, the end face of the clamping frame on the side close to the movable retaining ring is set as a wedge surface, and the movable retaining ring moves downward to contact the wedge surface of the adjacent clamping frame.

[0010] Further, it further includes a water inlet pipe fixedly connected to the side of the fixed base away from the drain outlet. A blocking block for blocking the bottom pipe orifice of the water inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the movable retaining ring. The water inlet pipe is communicated with the annular water pipe.

[0011] Further, the inner diameter value of the annular water pipe is smaller than the inner diameter value of the water inlet pipe.

[0012] Further, it further includes a second fixing block fixedly connected to the side of the fixed base close to the drain outlet. A material guiding rod is rotatably connected to the second fixing block. A clamping rod is slidably connected to the material guiding rod. A third spring is fixedly connected between the material guiding rod and the clamping rod. At least two clamping holes are formed in the second fixing block, and the clamping rod is clamped in one of the clamping holes.

[0013] The beneficial effects are as follows: When depilating, the present invention sprays hot water onto the poultry through the folding nozzle to accelerate the depilating process. When cleaning, the hot water is sprayed onto the inner wall of the fixed retaining ring through the folding nozzle, so that the feathers on the inner wall of the fixed retaining ring slide down along the water flow into the fixed base. Finally, the feathers in the fixed base slide out of the drain outlet of the fixed base along the water flow and along the material guiding slope, achieving the effect of automatically cleaning the feathers inside the device.

[0014] The present invention fixes the movable retaining ring at this position through the clamping frame, preventing the movable retaining ring from easily bouncing up and down slightly during depilation, resulting in feathers being stuck between the gaps of the fixed retaining ring and the movable retaining ring. At the same time, it prevents the movable retaining ring from immediately bouncing upward when the motor is turned off, causing the poultry to be discharged together with the feathers and get stuck at the drain outlet of the fixed base.

[0015] The present invention uses the movable retaining ring to drive the blocking block to move up and down synchronously to control the opening and closing of the bottom pipe orifice of the water inlet pipe, so that during depilation, in addition to a small amount of hot water for depilation, most of the hot water is used to wash the remaining feathers in the fixed base, avoiding the remaining feathers from blocking in the fixed base and affecting the subsequent flushing and discharging of the feathers. During the flushing and discharging of the feathers, all the hot water is used to wash the feathers that have just fallen off in the fixed retaining ring, increasing the amount of water for cleaning the inner wall of the fixed retaining ring.

[0016] When the present invention is used for hair removal, by fixing the material guiding rod inside the fixed base, the feathers are blocked and guided by the material guiding rod during rotation and discharged from the drain outlet of the fixed base. When cleaning, the material guiding rod is rotated out of the fixed base, so that the feathers blocked on the left side of the material guiding rod can also be discharged with water subsequently.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0028] The preferred technical solutions of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Embodiment 1: An epidermal hair removal device for poultry meat product processing, as Figures 1 - 3 shown, comprising a fixed base 1. A drain port is formed on the front side of the fixed base 1. A material guiding slope 101 is arranged inside the fixed base 1. A fixed retaining ring 2 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the fixed base 1. An active retaining ring 3 is slidably connected up and down between the fixed base 1 and the fixed retaining ring 2. The active retaining ring 3 is used to block the drain port of the fixed base 1. A first spring 4 symmetrically distributed along the left and right of the active retaining ring 3 is fixedly connected between the fixed base 1 and the active retaining ring 3. A motor 5 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the fixed base 1. A rotating frame 6 is rotatably connected inside the fixed base 1. The rotating frame 6 is threadedly connected to the active retaining ring 3. A plurality of rubber columns 7 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed retaining ring 2 and the top of the rotating frame 6. The rubber columns 7 are used to remove hair from poultry. A ring-shaped water pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed retaining ring 2. The ring-shaped water pipe 8 communicates with a circumferentially distributed folding nozzle 9. When the folding nozzle 9 is toggled towards the poultry, hot water is evenly sprayed on the poultry through the folding nozzle 9 for hair removal. When the folding nozzle 9 is toggled towards the inner wall of the fixed retaining ring 2, hot water is evenly sprayed on the inner wall of the fixed retaining ring 2 through the folding nozzle 9 for cleaning.

[0030] As Figures 4 - 6 shown, it further comprises first fixing blocks 10 symmetrically distributed along the folding nozzle 9. The first fixing blocks 10 are fixedly connected to the inner top of the fixed retaining ring 2. A rotating plate 11 is rotatably connected to the first fixing blocks 10. The rotating plate 11 is fixedly connected to the adjacent folding nozzle 9. A torsion spring 12 is fixedly connected between the folding nozzle 9 and the adjacent first fixing block 10. A top frame 13 is slidably connected to the fixed retaining ring 2 in the up and down direction. The top of the top frame 13 contacts the rotating plate 11. The bottom of the top frame 13 is fixedly connected to the active retaining ring 3. The up and down movement of the active retaining ring 3 drives the top frame 13 to move up and down synchronously. When the top frame 13 moves upward, it pushes the rotating plate 11 to rotate, so that the rotating plate 11 drives the folding nozzle 9 to rotate by an angle to face the inner wall of the fixed retaining ring 2.

[0031] When using this device to depilate poultry, first, start the motor 5. The output shaft of the motor 5 drives the rotating frame 6 to rotate. When the rotating frame 6 rotates, it drives the movable retaining ring 3 to slide downward, and the first spring 4 is compressed until the movable retaining ring 3 blocks the drain outlet of the fixed base 1. When the movable retaining ring 3 moves downward, it drives the top frame 13 to move downward synchronously, so that the top frame 13 is separated from the rotating plate 11. The torsion spring 12 in the energy storage state resets and drives the rotating plate 11 to swing downward, thereby driving the folding nozzle 9 to swing to the side away from the inner wall of the fixed retaining ring 2, making the folding nozzle 9 face the poultry. Then, place the poultry to be depilated into the fixed retaining ring 2, and then pass hot water into the annular water pipe 8. The hot water is sprayed on the poultry through the folding nozzle 9. The rotating frame 6 drives the rubber column 7 on it to rotate. In this way, the rubber column 7 on the rotating frame 6 and the rubber column 7 in the fixed retaining ring 2 jointly depilate the poultry.

[0032] After depilation is completed, turn off the motor 5, take out the depilated poultry. The first spring 4 resets and drives the movable retaining ring 3 to slide upward, and the drain outlet of the fixed base 1 is opened, so that the fallen feathers slide circumferentially along the rotating frame 6 onto the fixed base 1 and then drain to the drain outlet of the fixed base 1 along the water flow. When the movable retaining ring 3 moves upward, it drives the top frame 13 to move upward synchronously, so that the top frame 13 first contacts the rotating plate 11 and then pushes the rotating plate 11 to swing upward, and the torsion spring 12 deforms and stores energy. The rotating plate 11 drives the folding nozzle 9 to swing to face the inner wall of the fixed retaining ring 2. In this way, the hot water sprayed through the folding nozzle 9 is sprayed onto the inner wall of the fixed retaining ring 2, and the feathers on the inner wall of the fixed retaining ring 2 slide down along the water flow into the fixed base 1. Finally, the feathers in the fixed base 1 drain out of the drain outlet of the fixed base 1 along the water flow and along the guide slope 101, achieving the effect of automatically cleaning the feathers inside the device.

[0033] Embodiment 2: On the basis of Embodiment 1, as Figure 7 shown, it further includes fixed frames 14 symmetrically distributed left and right along the fixed base 1. The fixed frames 14 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed base 1. The fixed frames 14 are slidably connected with clamping frames 15 in the front-rear direction. The rear end face of the clamping frame 15 is set as a wedge surface. The movable retaining ring 3 moves downward and contacts the wedge surface of the adjacent clamping frame 15. When the movable retaining ring 3 moves downward to the bottom of the adjacent clamping frame 15, the clamping frame 15 clamps the movable retaining ring 3, and the fixed frame 14 and the adjacent clamping frame 15 are fixedly connected with a second spring 16.

[0034] During the downward sliding of the movable retaining ring 3, the movable retaining ring 3 contacts the wedge surface of the retaining frame 15. Under the extrusion of the movable retaining ring 3, the retaining frame 15 slides towards the side where the second spring 16 is compressed. When the movable retaining ring 3 disengages from the wedge surface of the retaining frame 15, the second spring 16 resets and drives the retaining frame 15 to slide back in the reverse direction. At this time, the movable retaining ring 3 blocks the drain opening of the fixed base 1, and the retaining frame 15 fixes the movable retaining ring 3 in this position, preventing the movable retaining ring 3 from easily bouncing up and down slightly during the hair removal process, which may cause feathers to get stuck in the gap between the fixed retaining ring 2 and the movable retaining ring 3. At the same time, it prevents the movable retaining ring 3 from immediately bouncing upwards when the motor 5 is turned off, which may cause the poultry to be discharged together with the feathers and get stuck at the drain opening of the fixed base 1. After turning off the motor 5 and taking out the poultry, pull the retaining frame 15 forward to release the limit of the retaining frame 15 on the movable retaining ring 3, so that the movable retaining ring 3 can reset upwards with the first spring 4 to open the drain opening of the fixed base 1.

[0035] Embodiment 3: On the basis of Embodiment 2, as Figure 8 shown, it further includes a water inlet pipe 17. The water inlet pipe 17 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the fixed base 1. A retaining block 18 is fixedly connected to the movable retaining ring 3. The retaining block 18 blocks the bottom pipe orifice of the water inlet pipe 17. The upper part of the water inlet pipe 17 is communicated with the annular water pipe 8. The inner diameter value of the annular water pipe 8 is smaller than the inner diameter value of the water inlet pipe 17.

[0036] When the movable retaining ring 3 moves downward, the movable retaining ring 3 drives the retaining block 18 to move downward until it disengages from the water inlet pipe 17. At this time, since the static pressure head at the bottom pipe orifice of the water inlet pipe 17 is greater than the static pressure head on the side of the water inlet pipe 17 close to the annular water pipe 8, and since the inner diameter value of the annular water pipe 8 is smaller than the inner diameter value of the water inlet pipe 17, the amount of hot water flowing from the water inlet pipe 17 into the annular water pipe 8 is less than the amount of hot water flowing into the fixed base 1. Thus, during the hair removal process, in addition to a small amount of hot water being used for hair removal, most of the hot water is used to wash the remaining feathers in the fixed base 1, avoiding the remaining feathers from blocking in the fixed base 1 and affecting the subsequent flushing and discharging of feathers.

[0037] When the movable retaining ring 3 moves upward, the movable retaining ring 3 drives the retaining block 18 to move upward to block the bottom pipe orifice of the water inlet pipe 17, so that the hot water in the water inlet pipe 17 can only flow into the annular water pipe 8. Thus, during the flushing and hair discharging process, all the hot water is used to wash the feathers that have just fallen off in the fixed retaining ring 2, increasing the amount of water for cleaning the inner wall of the fixed retaining ring 2.

[0038] Embodiment 4: On the basis of Embodiment 3, as Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, it also includes a second fixed block 19, which is fixed to the front left part of the fixed base 1. A material guide rod 20 is rotatably connected to the second fixed block 19. A clamping rod 21 is slidably connected to the front side of the material guide rod 20 along the up and down directions. A third spring 22 is fixed between the material guide rod 20 and the clamping rod 21. The second fixed block 19 has two front and rear clamping holes, and the clamping rod 21 is clamped in one of the clamping holes.

[0039] During depilation, the guide rod 20 is in the fixed base 1, and the rotating frame 6 drives the feather to rotate clockwise. During the rotation, the feather is blocked and guided by the guide rod 20 and discharged from the drain port of the fixed base 1. When the rotating frame 6 stops rotating, the movable retaining ring 3 opens upward, and the hot water flushes the feathers in the fixed base 1 to the periphery, causing some feathers to be blocked on the left side of the guide rod 20. At this time, the guide rod 20 is turned clockwise, and the guide rod 20 drives the clamping rod 21 to rotate, and the second fixed block 19 squeezes the clamping rod 21 to slide downward, and the third spring 22 is compressed, so that the clamping rod 21 and the front side are connected. When the card rod 21 is disengaged from the second fixing block 19, the third spring 22 is reset to drive the card rod 21 to slide upward. When the card rod 21 rotates to contact the second fixing block 19 again, the second fixing block 19 squeezes the card rod 21 to slide downward again, and the third spring 22 is compressed again until the card rod 21 rotates to align with the card hole on the rear side. At this time, the third spring 22 is reset to drive the card rod 21 to slide upward and be stuck in the card hole on the rear side. In this way, the guide rod 20 is rotated out of the fixed base 1, so that the feathers blocked on the left side of the guide rod 20 can also be discharged with the water later.

[0040] The above embodiments are provided for persons familiar with the art to implement or use the present invention. Personnel familiar with the art can make various modifications or changes to the above embodiments without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, but should be the maximum scope of the innovative features mentioned in the claims.
