[0026] Example:

[0027] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a hook device for pigs, comprising:

[0028] The conveying component 1 is suitable for conveying live pigs;

[0029] The hook assembly 2 is arranged on the conveying assembly 1 so that the conveying assembly 1 drives the hook assembly 2 to rotate cyclically. The hook assembly 2 and the conveying assembly 1 cooperate to make the hook assembly 2 and the pig be hooked and transported;

[0030] The sliding component 3 is arranged corresponding to the output end of the transmission component 1. The sliding component 3 cooperates with the hook component 2 to make the hook component 2 and the pig unhook and slide on the sliding component 3.

[0031] In this embodiment, after the pigs are successively stabbed and scalded, when they are conveyed to the input end position of the conveying component 1, the skin of the pig's chin is cut manually or by a cutting device, thereby forming an incision at the chin position of the pig. Since the incision is connected with the hook component 2 so that the hook component 2 hooks the incision of the pig, the conveying component 1 drives the pig forward through the hook component 2 to convey the pig. When the pig is conveyed to the output end position of the conveying component 1, the sliding component 3 and the hook component 2 cooperate to make the hook component 2 and the pig unhook, and the pig slides on the sliding component 3 by external force, thereby avoiding the manual hooking and unhooking movement of the pig's incision. Its structure is simple, which can effectively reduce the labor intensity of the operator and further improve the efficiency of pig slaughtering.

[0032] Furthermore, the hook assembly 2 includes a fixed seat 21, a hook 22, a pull rod 23, a connecting rod 24 and a hinged rod 25, wherein the fixed seat 21 is arranged on the transmission assembly 1, the lower end of the hook 22 is hingedly set on the fixed seat 21, the lower end of the pull rod 23 is connected to the fixed seat 21, and its upper end is hinged to the lower end of the connecting rod 24, the upper end of the connecting rod 24 is hinged to the upper end of the hook 22, and a slide groove 26 is provided on the connecting rod 24, one end of the hinged rod 25 is movably set on the slide groove 26, and the other end is hinged to the hook 22.

[0033] Preferably, a limiting portion is provided on the fixing seat 21 , and the limiting portion is connected in cooperation with the hook 22 to limit the rotation of the hook 22 , so that the hook 22 drives the pig to move forward.

[0034] Specifically, a mounting plate 27 is protruded from the upper end of the hook 22 , and the connecting rod 24 is hinged to the hook 22 via the mounting plate 27 .

[0035] In this embodiment, the fixed seat 21 is fixedly installed on the conveying assembly 1 so that the conveying assembly 1 drives the fixed seat 21 to rotate in a cycle. The lower end of the hook 22 is hinged on the fixed seat 21. The lower end of the pull rod 23 is connected to the fixed seat 21, and the hook 22 and the pull rod 23 are spaced apart on the fixed seat 21 along the front and rear directions. The upper end of the pull rod 23 is hinged to the lower end of the connecting rod 24. A mounting plate 27 is protruding from the rear side wall of the upper end of the hook 22. The upper end of the connecting rod 24 is hinged to the mounting plate 27 so that the connecting rod 24 and the hook 22 are hinged together, and a slide groove 26 is provided on the connecting rod 24. One end of the hinged rod 25 is movably set on the slide groove 26 so that one end of the hinged rod 25 slides along the slide groove 26. The other end of the hinged rod 25 is hinged at the middle position of the hook 22.

[0036] Furthermore, a limiting portion is provided on the fixed seat 21, which cooperates with the hook 22 to limit the rotation of the hook 22. After the hook 22 engages the pig's incision, as the hook 22 drives the pig forward, the hook 22 can be kept in its current position, thereby driving the pig forward. When the pig reaches the output end of the conveyor assembly 1, because the hook 22 of the conveyor assembly 1 is spaced apart from the sliding assembly 3, the hook 22, driven by the conveyor assembly 1, must cyclically rotate from the output end of the conveyor assembly 1 to the input end of the conveyor assembly 1. The sliding assembly 3 cooperates with the hook 22 to decouple the hook assembly 2 from the pig. Preferably, a hook-shaped portion is provided on the front sidewall of the upper end of the hook 22, along the pig's forward direction, for engaging the pig's incision.

[0037] Furthermore, the sliding component 3 includes an operating table 31 and multiple rollers 32, wherein the operating table 31 is arranged corresponding to the output end of the conveying component 1, and the multiple rollers 32 are slidably arranged on the operating table 31 and the multiple rollers 32 are arranged at intervals, so that the live pigs can slide on the operating table 31 through external force.

[0038] In this embodiment, the operating table 31 is spaced apart from the output end of the conveying component 1 so that the operating table 31 is arranged corresponding to the conveying component 1, and multiple rollers 32 are rotatably arranged on the operating table 31 and multiple rollers 32 are spaced apart. Since the hook 22 of the conveying component 1 is spaced apart from the operating table 31, when the live pig moves to the output end of the conveying component 1, the pig's head is located on the operating table 31 at the same time. Then, the hook 22 needs to be driven by the conveying component 1 to rotate cyclically from the output end of the conveying component 1 to the input end of the conveying component 1, so that the hook 22 and the incision of the live pig are unhooked. In this way, the sliding component 3 and the hook 22 can cooperate to make the hook component 2 and the live pig unhooked, and the live pig is placed on the operating table 31. Then, the operator drives the live pig to slide on the operating table 31 through external force, thereby greatly reducing the labor intensity of the operator.

[0039] Specifically, the transmission component 1 includes a fixed frame 11, a third power source and a transmission chain 12, wherein a workbench 6 is arranged at the front position of the fixed frame 11, and the sliding component 3 is located at the rear position of the fixed frame 11, a driving wheel 13 is arranged at the front end of the fixed frame 11, and a mating wheel 14 is arranged at the rear end thereof, the output end of the third power source is connected to the driving wheel 13, the front end of the transmission chain 12 is sleeved on the driving wheel 13, and the rear end thereof is sleeved on the mating wheel 14, and the hook 22 is arranged on the transmission chain 12.

[0040] In this embodiment, along the forward direction of the pig, a workbench 6 is provided in front of the fixed frame 11 so that the workbench 6 is arranged corresponding to the fixed frame 11, thereby facilitating cutting the pig's chin on the workbench 6, and the height of the top of the fixed frame 11 is less than the height of the upper end of the operating table 31, so that a height difference is formed between the fixed frame 11 and the operating table 31, thereby facilitating the hook 22 to hook the incision of the pig's chin, and at the same time, the operating table 31 is located at the rear position of the fixed frame 11 so that the operating table 31 is arranged corresponding to the fixed frame 11, and a driving wheel 1 is provided at the front end of the fixed frame 11. 3, a matching wheel 14 is provided at its rear end, the output end of the third power source is connected to the driving wheel 13 so that the third power source drives the driving wheel 13 to rotate, the front end of the transmission chain 12 is sleeved on the driving wheel 13, and the rear end thereof is sleeved on the matching wheel 14, so that the rotation of the driving wheel 13 drives the transmission chain 12 to rotate in a circular manner. Since the hook 22 is provided on the transmission chain 12 so that the transmission chain 12 drives the hook 22 to move synchronously, the hook 22 realizes a circular rotation, and then the hooking movement or unhooking movement of the pig is realized through the cooperation of the hook 22 and the transmission chain 12.

[0041] Furthermore, it also includes a skin cutting component 4, which is arranged corresponding to the input end of the transmission component 1 to cut the skin of the pig's chin.

[0042] Preferably, the skin cutting component 4 includes a first power source 41, a fixed plate 42 and an electric saw 43, wherein the first power source 41 is arranged at a lower position at one end of the conveying component, the fixed plate 42 is arranged on the output end of the first power source 41 so that the first power source 41 drives the fixed plate 42 to move up and down in the vertical direction, and the electric saw 43 is arranged on the fixed plate 42 to perform skin cutting on the chin.

[0043] Specifically, the skin cutting assembly 4 includes a slide plate and a second power source, wherein the slide plate is slidably set on the fixed plate 42, the electric saw 43 is movably connected to the fixed plate 42 through the slide plate, and the output end of the second power source is connected to the slide plate to drive the slide plate to slide in the lateral direction.

[0044] In this embodiment, the operating table 31 is provided with a first power source 41 at one end close to the conveying assembly 1, and the first power source 41 is located at a lower position at one end of the conveying assembly. A fixed plate 42 is provided on the output end of the first power source 41 so that the first power source 41 drives the fixed plate 42 to move up or down in the vertical direction. The slide plate is slidably provided on the fixed plate 42. The electric saw 43 is movably connected to the fixed plate 42 through the slide plate. The output end of the second power source is connected to the slide plate to drive the slide plate to slide in the horizontal direction. The slide plate 3 is movably fixed on the plate 42 to perform skin cutting on the pig's chin. When the hook 22 hooks the pig at the incision position and drives the pig to the position of the skin cutting assembly 4, the controller controls the first power source 41 to drive the fixed plate 42 to move upward in the vertical direction. At the same time, the controller of the conveying system controls the electric saw 43 to perform cutting. In order to improve the cutting effect, the controller controls the second power source to drive the slide plate to slide in the horizontal direction, thereby driving the electric saw 43 to slide in the horizontal direction to further expand the width of the incision. Preferably, a position sensor is provided at the input end of the conveying component 1, and the position sensor is provided corresponding to the skin cutting component (2) to limit the movement of the pig. When the pig is moving, until the pig is transported to the position of the position sensor, the position sensor feeds back the detected data information to the controller. The controller controls the pig to stop moving according to the received information, and then controls the skin cutting component (2) to cut the pig's chin. Then, the controller controls the skin cutting component (2) to perform a reset movement and controls the pig to continue moving. After a preset time, the controller controls the pig to stop moving, so that at least part of the pig's chin extends into the upper position of the conveying component, and the transmission sprocket is rotated to drive the conveying chain to rotate cyclically. In this way, the conveying chain can drive the hook to reciprocate. After the hook hooks the incision position of the pig, the hook drives the pig to move forward, and the pig after the skin cutting is continued to be transported forward through the cooperation of the hook and the conveying component (4).

[0045] In particular, it also includes a scraper 5 and a depilator, wherein the scraper 5 is arranged at an upper position of the conveying component 1 to depilate the pig hair, and the depilator is arranged at a lower position of the conveying component 1 to depilate the pig hair on the pig's abdomen and / or pig's feet.

[0046] In this embodiment, the skinned pigs are transported by the cooperation of the hook 22 and the conveying chain 12. Since the scraper 5 is arranged at the upper position of the conveying component 1 to depilate the pig hair, the scraper 5 in this embodiment preferably has a scraping shaft, and a plurality of scraping blades are arranged on the scraping shaft to depilate the pig hair, thereby forming a fixed scraping blade array structure. The depilator is arranged at the lower position of the conveying component 1 to depilate the pig hair on the pig's abdomen and / or pig's feet. At the same time, the action of the depilator can also massage the pig to keep the pig in a relaxed state, thereby effectively ensuring the meat quality of the pig, and the depilation effect is further improved by the cooperation of the scraper 5 and the depilator.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first power source 41 , the second power source, and the third power source can all be motors or cylinders.

[0048] The above are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, which all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
