[0024] Embodiment:

[0025] As Figure 1 shown, this embodiment provides a conveying system for live pigs, including:

[0026] A conveying component 1, which is suitable for conveying live pigs;

[0027] A skinning component 2, when the live pig is conveyed to the position of the skinning component 2, the skinning component 2 performs skinning treatment on the chin of the live pig;

[0028] A hair removal component 3, which is suitable for performing hair removal treatment on the pig hair of the live pig;

[0029] A conveying component 4, which is disposed through the hair removal component 3. At least one hook 5 is provided on the conveying component 4. Through the cooperation of the hook 5 and the conveying component 4, the live pig after skinning treatment is conveyed into the hair removal component 3 for hair removal treatment.

[0030] In this embodiment, after the live pigs are successively subjected to stabbing treatment and scalding treatment, they are conveyed by the conveying assembly 1 to convey the live pigs after scalding treatment, so that the live pigs move to the position of the skin cutting assembly 2. Then, the skin cutting assembly 2 cuts the skin of the chins of the live pigs, thereby forming incisions at the chin positions of the live pigs. Since the incisions are cooperatively connected with the hooks 5 so that the hooks 5 hook the incision positions of the live pigs, and then the conveying assembly 4 drives the live pigs through the hooks 5. Thus, through the cooperative action of the hooks 5 and the conveying assembly 4, the live pigs after skin cutting treatment are conveyed into the hair removal assembly 3 for hair removal treatment. In this way, it is possible to avoid manually hooking the hooks 5 to the incisions of the live pigs. The structure is simple, which can effectively reduce the labor intensity of the operator and further improve the slaughter efficiency of the live pigs.

[0031] Furthermore, a position sensor is further included. The position sensor is correspondingly arranged with the skin cutting assembly 2 to limit the transmission movement of the conveying assembly 1.

[0032] Preferably, the conveying assembly 1 includes a frame 11, a first power source, transmission sprockets and a conveying chain. The frame 11 is correspondingly arranged with the skin cutting assembly 2. A driving shaft and a driven shaft are respectively arranged at the front and rear ends of the frame 11. The output end of the first power source is connected to the driving shaft. The transmission sprockets are respectively arranged on the driving shaft and the driven shaft. The front and rear ends of the conveying chain are respectively sleeved on the two transmission sprockets, so that the conveying chain drives the live pigs to move forward.

[0033] In this embodiment, the front end of the frame 11 is correspondingly arranged opposite to the scalding and hair-removing station, and the rear end thereof is correspondingly arranged opposite to the skin-cutting assembly 2. A driving shaft is arranged at the front end of the frame 11, and a driven shaft is arranged at the rear end of the frame 11. The output end of the first power source is connected to the driving shaft so that the first power source drives the driving shaft to rotate. Transmission sprockets are respectively arranged on the driving shaft and the driven shaft, so that the rotation of the driving shaft drives the transmission sprockets to make rotational motion. The front and rear ends of the conveying chain are respectively sleeved on the two transmission sprockets, so that the rotation of the transmission sprockets drives the conveying chain to rotate in a cycle, and further the conveying chain drives the live pig to move forward. More preferably, a position sensor is arranged on the frame 11, and the position sensor is correspondingly arranged opposite to the skin-cutting assembly 2 to limit the transmission movement of the conveying assembly 1. When the conveying chain drives the live pig to move forward, until the live pig is conveyed to the position of the position sensor, the position sensor feeds back the detected data information to the controller of the conveying system. The controller controls the first power source to stop working according to the received information, and then controls the skin-cutting assembly 2 to cut the skin of the live pig's chin. Then, the controller controls the skin-cutting assembly 2 to make a reset movement, and at the same time controls the first power source to continue working. After a preset time, the controller controls the first power source to stop working, so that the chin of the live pig extends out of the frame 11. The rotation of the transmission sprocket drives the conveying chain to rotate in a cycle, so that the hook 5 can be driven to reciprocate by the transmission chain. After the hook 5 hooks the incision position of the live pig, the hook 5 drives the live pig to move forward, so that the skinned live pig is conveyed into the hair-removing assembly 3 for hair-removing treatment through the cooperation of the hook 5 and the conveying assembly 4.

[0035] Specifically, the skin-cutting assembly 2 includes a sliding plate and a third power source. The sliding plate is slidably arranged on the fixing plate 22, the saw 23 is movably connected to the fixing plate 22 through the sliding plate, and the output end of the third power source is connected to the sliding plate to drive the sliding plate to slide in the horizontal direction.

[0036] In this embodiment, a second power source 21 is provided at one end of the frame 11 close to the conveying assembly 4, and the second power source 21 is located below one end of the conveying assembly 1. A fixing plate 22 is provided at the output end of the second power source 21 so that the second power source 21 drives the fixing plate 22 to move upward or downward in the vertical direction. A sliding plate is slidably arranged on the fixing plate 22, and a saw 23 is movably connected to the fixing plate 22 through the sliding plate. The output end of a third power source is connected to the sliding plate to drive the sliding plate to slide in the lateral direction. The saw 23 is movably arranged on the fixing plate 22 through the sliding plate to perform skin cutting treatment on the chin. When the hook 5 hooks the incision position of the live pig and drives the live pig to the skin cutting assembly 2, the controller of the conveying system controls the second power source 21 to drive the fixing plate 22 to move upward in the vertical direction. At the same time, the controller of the conveying system controls the saw 23 to perform cutting work. In order to improve the cutting effect of the incision, the controller controls the third power source to drive the sliding plate to slide in the lateral direction, so as to drive the saw 23 to slide in the lateral direction to further widen the width of the incision.

[0037] Further, the hair removal assembly 3 further includes a hair scraping machine 31, and the hair scraping machine 31 is arranged above the conveying assembly 4 to perform hair removal treatment on the pig hair of the live pig.
