Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of poultry slaughtering, in particular to a full-automatic chicken slaughtering and feather removing device and method. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the chicken slaughtering and processing industry, the feather removing process is crucial for the preparation of chicken products. Currently, the full-automatic chicken slaughtering and feather removing devices widely used in the market mostly adopt the method of rotating drum combined with friction for feather removing. Specifically, such devices usually contain one or more drums with protrusions or special textures inside. When the chicken is sent into the drum, the drum rotates at high speed under the drive of the motor, and the chicken body and the drum inner wall and the chicken body between them rub against each other, using the friction force to strip the chicken feathers from the chicken body. This technical solution has been widely used in the chicken slaughtering industry due to its relatively simple structure and high feather removing efficiency.

[0003] However, the existing chicken slaughtering and feather removing devices based on the principle of drum rotation and friction have obvious technical defects. During the feather removing process, a large amount of stripped chicken feathers will remain inside the drum. Due to the lack of effective feather cleaning mechanism, the accumulated chicken feathers inside the drum will increase with the continuous feather removing work. On the one hand, the accumulated chicken feathers will interfere with the effective friction between the subsequent chicken body and the drum, reducing the feather removing effect and efficiency. On the other hand, if the accumulated chicken feathers are not cleaned in time, they are likely to breed bacteria and produce odors, which not only affects the working environment, but also may pose a threat to the hygiene and safety of chicken products. In addition, manual cleaning of the accumulated chicken feathers inside the drum not only consumes time and effort, increases production costs, but also prolongs the equipment downtime, reducing the overall production efficiency.

[0004] In the prior art, a patent with publication number CN119014451A discloses a chicken slaughtering and feather removing device. The basic principle is that the entire device is supported by a machine base, the feather removing cylinder is fixed to the machine base, the feather removing disc is coaxially arranged inside the feather removing cylinder, and the feather removing disc is driven to rotate by the driving member. The feather removing rods on the inner side of the feather removing cylinder and the upper side of the feather removing disc are used to remove the feathers from the chicken. At the same time, an outer cylinder, a material guiding assembly, a material distributing ring, a warm air assembly, and a material suction assembly are provided to realize timely processing of chicken feathers, reduce waste and environmental pollution. However, although this technology improves some of the original problems, there are still aspects that need to be further optimized to better meet the actual detection needs.

[0005] 1. The diameter of the plucking cylinder in this comparative document is fixed, which cannot flexibly accommodate chickens of different sizes. In actual production, chickens vary greatly in size. If a chicken is small, placing it in a plucking cylinder of a fixed diameter will give it more room to move around inside, prolonging the plucking time. It's important to understand that in large-scale assembly line production, the plucking time for chickens is strictly regulated; any extension will inevitably affect the overall production schedule. Furthermore, without restraint during the plucking process, chickens are prone to collisions inside the cylinder, leading to damage and reduced product quality.

[0006] 2. This device relies solely on the inner wall of the feather removal cylinder and the feather removal sticks on the feather removal disc for feather removal, resulting in a small contact area with the chicken. When processing larger chickens, the chickens are less likely to roll over during the feather removal process, making it difficult for some feathers to fully contact the feather removal sticks, leading to poor feather removal results and potentially leaving a significant amount of feather residue. This necessitates subsequent manual processing, increasing both labor and time costs.

[0007] Therefore, based on the above-stated viewpoints, there is still room for improvement in the existing technology for chicken feather removal. Summary of the Invention

[0047] The main barrel 11 is slid through a plurality of sliding shafts 12 distributed along the axis thereof at the upper and lower ends, one end of the sliding shaft 12 is rotatably limited by a limiting cone 13 in the main barrel 11, and a roller 14 is rotatably arranged between the limiting cones 13 corresponding in position, and a depilating rod 15 is arranged outside the roller 14, when the sliding shaft 12 is driven by an external force, the roller 14 can be driven by the limiting cone 13 to move towards or away from the axis of the main barrel 11, and the roller 14 can drive the depilating rod 15 outside to rotate under the limitation of the limiting cone 13 at the upper and lower ends, so that the chicken feather is removed, and the roller 14 driven by the sliding shaft 12 can be adapted to chickens of different sizes.

[0048] A sliding plate 16 for supporting the chicken is slid in the main barrel 11, and the bottom of the chicken can be supported by the sliding plate 16 during feather removal, so as to prevent it from falling through the through hole at the bottom of the main barrel 11.

[0049] The roller 14 is further provided with a pipeline unit 2 for injecting water into the main barrel 11.

[0050] In addition, the application also provides a full-automatic chicken slaughtering and feather removing method, which comprises the following steps:

[0051] S1, feather removing preparation: the sliding plate 16 is raised to the top of the main barrel 11, then the chicken to be feather removed is placed on the sliding plate 16, and the sliding plate 16 is lowered so that the chicken is located in the main barrel 11.

[0052] S2, initial washing: the pipeline unit 2 is started to discharge hot water into the main barrel 11, the hot water directly flushes the chicken feather, at the same time, the main barrel 11 is driven to rotate by an external force, so that the chicken body is rolled in the main barrel 11, realizing uniform flushing of the chicken body by the hot water, and promoting the chicken feather to be fully loosened;

[0053] S3, start feather removing: the depilating rod 15 outside the roller 14 is contacted with the chicken body by the sliding shaft 12, the roller 14 is driven to rotate by an external force, so that the depilating rod 15 removes the chicken feather, and the removed chicken feather falls on the sliding plate 16.

[0054] S4, feather removing completion: after the feather removing operation is completed, the chicken is taken out by the rising of the sliding plate 16, and in the moving process of the sliding plate 16, the pipeline unit 2 injects water into the main barrel 11, so that the chicken feather remaining on the roller 14 and the depilating rod 15 is flushed and removed by the synergistic effect of the water flow and the sliding plate 16.

[0055] Subsequently, the main barrel 11 is driven by the rotating shaft to be turned by one hundred and eighty degrees, so that the chicken feather attached to the sliding plate 16 is separated under the action of gravity.

[0056] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, namely for the injection of water into the main barrel 11, the pipeline unit 2; Specifically, the pipeline unit 2 includes a bending groove 20, an external connecting pipe 21, a connecting pipe 22, a series pipe 23 and a bending pipe 24, the bending groove 20 is opened in the inside of the one side shaft, the one end of the bending groove 20 is rotatably inserted with the external connecting pipe 21, and the upper end of the arbitrary two rollers 14 is rotatably connected with the connecting pipe 22, and the connecting pipe 22 is provided with the series pipe 23 penetratingly connected, and the other side port of the bending groove 20 penetrates the bending pipe 24, one end of the bending pipe 24 is penetratingly connected with the connecting pipe 22 of one side, that is, the external water supply equipment can be connected with the external connecting pipe 21.

[0057] After that, the external water supply equipment can transmit water to the bending groove 20 through the external connecting pipe 21, and then the water in the bending groove 20 enters the connecting pipe 22 of one side, and then the water in the connecting pipe 22 enters the other side, and the water in the connecting pipe 22 of one side enters the connecting pipe 22 of the other side through the series pipe 23, at this time, all the rollers 14 are injected with water.

[0058] The middle part of the depilatory rod 15 is hollow, and the depilatory rod 15 is penetratingly connected with the inside of the roller 14, and the water entering the roller 14 is discharged into the main barrel 11 through the depilatory rod 15, that is, the water is directly sprayed onto the chicken, that is, in the initial stage, the depilatory rod 15 stirs the chicken to roll over, and then the water also enters the chicken feather, further improving the loosening rate of the chicken feather, and then after the depilation is completed, the shaft drives the main barrel 11 to turn 180 degrees, at this time, the water sprayed on the depilatory rod 15 will flush the chicken feather attached to the sliding plate 16 and the inner side wall of the main barrel 11 and other depilatory rods 15.

[0059] The connecting pipe 22 and the series pipe 23 are made of rubber and are flexible, that is, when the roller 14 moves, the connecting pipe 22 and the series pipe 23 also synchronously stretch and contract.

[0060] Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the outer side of the main barrel 11 is also provided with a driving unit 3 for driving the roller 14 to move; Specifically, the driving unit 3 includes a bidirectional screw 30, a driving groove 31, a sleeve ring 32, a toothed disc 33, a driving shaft 34 and a driving gear 35, the bidirectional screw 30 is opened on the outer side of the upper end of the number of sliding shafts 12, and the outer side of the sliding shaft 12 is provided with a number of driving grooves 31 distributed around the axis, that is, when the upper end of the number of sliding shafts 12 is driven to rotate by external force, it can move reciprocatingly on the main barrel 11 through the bidirectional screw 30.

[0061] The outer side of the main barrel 11 is symmetrically sleeved with two sleeve rings 32 corresponding to the upper and lower sliding shafts 12, one side of the sliding shaft 12 slides through the corresponding sleeve ring 32, and a gear disc 33 rotates in the sleeve ring 32, and the gear disc 33 is engaged with the corresponding driving groove 31. When the gear disc 33 is driven by external force, it can rotate in the sleeve ring 32, and when the gear disc 33 rotates, it can drive the sliding shaft 12 to rotate through the driving groove 31. The rotation of the sliding shaft 12 can indirectly drive the roller 14 to reciprocate on the main barrel 11 to adapt to different sizes of chickens. The lower end sliding shaft 12 can be driven to rotate by the corresponding gear disc 33, but since it is not provided with a double screw 30, it will not drive the main barrel 11 to move, but will move synchronously with the upper end sliding shaft 12 and the main barrel 11, and indirectly limit and guide the main barrel 11.

[0062] A driving shaft 34 is also rotatably arranged on the sleeve ring 32. One side of the driving shaft 34 in the sleeve ring 32 is sleeved with a driving gear 35 engaged with the gear disc 33. That is, one end of the driving shaft 34 outside the sleeve ring 32 is connected with an external driving motor. The main shaft of the external driving motor can drive the driving gear 35 to rotate through the driving shaft 34, and the driving gear 35 can drive the gear disc 33 to rotate.

[0063] Referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the lower end sliding shaft 12 is provided with a driving assembly 4 for driving the roller 14 to rotate. Specifically, the driving assembly 4 includes an annular groove 40, an outer gear ring 41, a transmission shaft 42 and a transmission gear 43. The annular groove 40 is arranged at the bottom of the roller 14, and the outer gear ring 41 is arranged on the top wall in the annular groove 40. The lower end sliding shaft 12 is provided with a transmission shaft 42 which passes through the corresponding limiting cone 13 and is located in the annular groove 40, and the transmission shaft 42 is sleeved with a transmission gear 43 engaged with the outer gear ring 41.

[0064] When the lower end sliding shaft 12 is driven to rotate by the gear disc 33, the transmission shaft 42 can be driven to rotate, and the transmission gear 43 can be driven to rotate in the annular groove 40. At this time, the transmission gear 43 can drive the outer gear ring 41 to rotate, and the outer gear ring 41 can drive the roller 14 to rotate.

[0065] Since the driving groove 31 is strip-shaped, when the sliding shaft 12 moves, the driving groove 31 can slide on the teeth on the gear disc 33 without interference.

[0066] Referring to Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the sliding plate 16 is provided with a sliding assembly 5; specifically, the sliding assembly 5 includes a containing groove 50, a wiping brush 51, a spiral groove 52, an arc-shaped plate 53, a circular cavity 54, a central shaft 55 and a cam 56, a plurality of containing grooves 50 are opened on the sliding plate 16 and correspond to the plurality of rollers 14 one by one, and the inner wall of the containing groove 50 is provided with a wiping brush 51, that is, after the depilation is completed, the up and down movement of the sliding plate 16 can wipe off the residual chicken feather on the depilating rod 15 through the wiping brush 51, and at the same time, the outer side of the sliding plate 16 can also scrape off the residual chicken feather on the inner side wall of the main barrel 11.

[0067] The outer side of the roller 14 is provided with a spiral groove 52, and the inner side wall of the wiping brush 51 is provided with an arc-shaped plate 53 engaged with the spiral groove 52, that is, when the roller 14 rotates, the arc-shaped plate 53 can drive the sliding plate 16 to move in the main barrel 11, and in the depilation process, the rotating direction of the main barrel 11 is reversed, so that the sliding plate 16 can drive the chicken to move in the up and down direction in the main barrel 11.

[0068] In order to prevent the roller 14 from excessively clamping the chicken body and avoid the situation that the chicken body is stuck by the roller 14 when the sliding plate 16 descends, in this process, the sliding shaft 12 drives the roller 14 to move back and forth, and at the same time, the sliding plate 16 as the supporting structure of the chicken body will drive the chicken body to move in the up and down direction in the main barrel 11 under the cooperation of the spiral groove 52 and the arc-shaped plate 53 and the driving of the forward and reverse rotation of the main barrel 11.

[0069] This moving mode makes the chicken body experience repeated clamping of the roller 14 in the depilation process, and the reciprocating movement of the roller 14 and the up and down movement of the chicken body cooperate with each other, so that the contact angle of the chicken body and the depilating rod 15 changes constantly, in the initial stage, hot water is sprayed to the chicken body through the depilating rod 15 by the pipeline unit 2, so that the chicken feather is fully loosened, and in the depilation process, the change of the depilation angle of the chicken body can make the depilating rod 15 act on the chicken feather more comprehensively and deeply, which can not only cover the chicken feather on each part of the chicken body, but also increase the friction force and contact area between the depilating rod 15 and the chicken feather, thereby further improving the depilation efficiency of the chicken feather.

[0070] In addition, under the action of the sliding assembly 5, the vibration force generated by the cam 56 is transmitted to the roller 14 and the chicken body, which can also assist the depilation process, so that the chicken feather is more easily removed from the chicken body, and the efficiency and quality of the whole depilation process are further improved.

[0071] The sliding plate 16 is internally provided with a circular cavity 54, and a central shaft 55 is rotatably arranged on the inner wall of the circular cavity 54. A cam 56 is arranged on the outer side of the central shaft 55. That is, during the depilation process, the central shaft 55 is driven by an external force to drive the cam 56 to rotate in the circular cavity 54 to generate vibration. The vibration force is transmitted to the roller 14 to further improve the depilation efficiency. When the wiping brush 51 wipes off the chicken feathers attached to the depilation rod 15, the vibration force can also assist the chicken feathers to separate from the depilation rod 15.

[0072] During the operation of the present application, in order to avoid the chicken neck being stuck between the containing groove 50 and the roller 14, the following operation mode is adopted:

[0073] Firstly, the roller 14 is driven by the sliding shaft 12 to move reciprocally. This design has a dual effect. On the one hand, it can adapt the device to different sizes of chickens. On the other hand, it effectively avoids the situation that the chicken neck is stuck. During the process that the roller 14 approaches the chicken body, its position is constantly adjusted according to the size of the chicken body, and always maintains a proper distance from the chicken body. At the same time, the containing groove 50 on the sliding plate 16 cooperates with the roller 14. The wiping brush 51 on the inner wall of the containing groove 50 and the spiral groove 52 on the outer side of the roller 14 are engaged with each other through the arc-shaped plate 53. When the roller 14 rotates, it drives the sliding plate 16 to move, and the chicken body also moves up and down in the main barrel 11, and its position is constantly adjusted, rather than being fixed. This greatly reduces the possibility of the chicken neck being stuck.

[0074] In addition, the moving distance of the plurality of rollers 14 is limited by the corresponding containing grooves 50. Even if the roller 14 moves to the end of the containing groove 50, there will still be a gap between the rollers 14. This gap can effectively avoid the situation that the head is clamped and stuck.

[0075] Secondly, during the depilation process, even if the chicken head is stuck in the containing groove 50, there is a corresponding response mechanism. At this time, the plurality of rollers 14 will first pre-clamp the chicken body. Since the sliding plate 16 moves reciprocally, it can be moved downward to make the chicken head separate from the corresponding containing groove 50. Then, the roller 14 stops clamping the chicken body, and the chicken body will fall onto the sliding plate 16. During normal use, a certain redundant space is reserved between the outer side of the roller 14 and the inner wall of the containing groove 50 after the roller 14 clamps the chicken body. Therefore, even if the chicken head falls into the containing groove 50, the chicken body can still separate from the containing groove 50 during the depilation process driven by the roller 14.

[0076] Finally, in the initial brushing stage, the pipeline unit 2 discharges hot water, the main barrel 11 rotates to drive the chicken to turn over, so that the chicken is fully relaxed and the chicken feather is loosened, and before entering the plucking stage, the chicken is in a relatively relaxed state, which reduces the probability of the chicken neck being stuck to a certain extent. Moreover, when plucking, the vibration force generated by the cam 56 is transmitted to the drum 14 and the chicken, which not only assists the plucking work, but also keeps the chicken dynamic, avoids the local long-time close contact between the chicken and the drum 14, further prevents the chicken neck from being stuck between the containing groove 50 and the drum 14, and effectively guarantees the efficient and stable operation of the device.

[0077] Embodiment two: refer to Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown in the drawings, on the basis of embodiment one, in order to drive the central shaft 55 to rotate, a power assembly 6 is arranged in the sliding plate 16. Specifically, the power assembly 6 includes a strip-shaped groove 60, a vertical shaft 61, a vertical groove 62 and a rack 63. The strip-shaped groove 60 is arranged in the interior of the sliding plate 16, one end of the strip-shaped groove 60 is in communication with the circular cavity 54, and the other side is in communication with the outside of the sliding plate 16. The vertical shaft 61 is rotatably arranged in the strip-shaped groove 60, and the vertical shaft 61 and the central shaft 55 are connected by a belt transmission, that is, when the vertical shaft 61 is driven by external force, the central shaft 55 is driven to rotate by the transmission belt, so that the cam 56 rotates and generates vibration force.

[0078] The vertical groove 62 is arranged on the inner wall of the main barrel 11, the rack 63 is arranged on the inner wall of the vertical groove 62, and the vertical shaft 61 and the rack 63 are connected by a gear transmission, that is, when the sliding plate 16 is indirectly driven by the drum 14 to move in the up-down direction, the vertical shaft 61 can drive the vertical shaft 61 itself to rotate by the gear transmission and the rack 63 in the vertical groove 62, that is, a plurality of gears and bevel gears are arranged between the vertical shaft 61 and the rack 63 to drive power, which is easily known by those skilled in the art, and thus will not be described again.
