Detailed Implementation

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments. Example

[0018] A comprehensive feather collection and utilization system for poultry slaughtering, including feather collection devices that collect feathers in real time on the slaughter line. The cleaning device cleans the feathers collected by the feather collecting device to remove blood and impurities from the feathers; Drying device, used to dry the cleaned feathers; The processing and utilization device crushes and sieves the dried feathers, processing them into products such as feather powder and down.

[0019] The comprehensive utilization system for feather collection during poultry slaughtering in this technical solution effectively solves the problem of feather collection and processing during poultry slaughtering, avoids environmental pollution caused by feathers, realizes the resource utilization of feathers, improves the economic benefits and resource utilization efficiency of enterprises, and meets the requirements of sustainable development.

[0020] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the feather collecting device includes: a shell with an opening at the top, a feather removal chamber 11 inside the shell, and a feather removal assembly inside the feather removal chamber 11. The feather removal assembly performs feather removal operations on poultry that continuously enter the feather removal chamber 11. (Referring to...) Figure 1 The front-to-back direction is the feeding direction for hair removal. The side plate of the shell includes an inner plate 12 and an outer plate 13. A collection cavity 14 is formed between the inner plate 12 and the outer plate 13. An opening 121 is provided on the inner plate 12 to connect the hair removal cavity 11 and the collection cavity 14. The collecting component includes a collecting roller 21 that rotates with the housing. The side wall of the collecting roller 21 is provided with a sieve hole. A part of the collecting roller 21 is located inside the collecting chamber 14, and another part passes through the opening 121 and extends into the hair removal chamber 11. A tube 22 is connected to the end of the collecting roller 21. An air extraction pipe 23 passes through the tube 22. One end of the air extraction pipe 23 extends to the outside of the collecting chamber 14 and is provided with an air pump. The other end of the air extraction pipe 23 extends to the inside of the collecting roller 21 and is connected to a wind hood 24. The air inlet 243 of the wind hood 24 is set towards the hair removal chamber 11. In this embodiment, the positions of the air extraction pipe 23 and the wind hood 24 can be fixed by fixing the air pump to the outside of the housing. When the air pump operates, the collecting roller 21 is under negative pressure at the air inlet 243. The collecting roller 21 rotates relative to the air hood 24. When the side wall of the collecting roller 21 rotates into the hair removal chamber 11, the feathers are adsorbed onto the side wall of the collecting roller 21. When the side wall of the collecting roller 21 rotates into the collecting chamber 14, the feathers fall from the collecting roller 21 to the bottom of the collecting chamber 14.

[0021] The feather collection method of the comprehensive utilization system for feather collection during poultry slaughter includes the following steps: S1, machine preparation: control the collection roller 21 to rotate relative to the wind hood 24, and start the air pump so that the collection roller 21 is in a negative pressure state at the position of the air inlet 243. S2, Feather Collection: When the side wall of the collecting roller 21 rotates into the hair removal chamber 11, the feathers detached by the hair removal component are adsorbed onto the outer side wall of the collecting roller 21. When the collecting roller 21 rotates into the collecting chamber 14, the feathers fall from the collecting roller 21 to the bottom of the collecting chamber 14.

[0022] In the feather collection device, the air extraction pipe 23 and the fan hood 24 are arranged inside the collection roller 21. The collection roller 21 spans the opening 121 and is distributed at both ends in the hair removal chamber 11 and the collection chamber 14 respectively. When the air extraction pump is started, the collection roller 21 is under negative pressure at the air inlet 243 and the part of the collection roller 21 inside the collection chamber 14 is under normal pressure. When the side wall of the collecting roller 21 rotates into the hair removal chamber 11, the feathers detached by the hair removal component are adsorbed onto the outer side wall of the collecting roller 21. When the collecting roller 21 rotates into the collecting chamber 14, the feathers fall from the collecting roller 21 to the bottom of the collecting chamber 14 under their own gravity. During the rotation of the collecting roller 21, the feather collection is completed.

[0023] The poultry slaughtering process feather collection and utilization system in this technical solution involves a feather removal component that removes feathers from poultry while the feather collection device collects feathers simultaneously. Feather collection is completed as the collection roller 21 rotates, ensuring continuous operation, avoiding downtime, ensuring the efficiency of the slaughterhouse, and preventing feather pollution to the environment.

[0024] To address the issue of the air inlet 243 of the air hood 24 facing the hair removal chamber 11, and simultaneously ensuring that the suction pump is operating while the collecting roller 21 is under negative pressure at the air inlet 243, the specific configuration of the air hood 24 is as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the hood 24 includes two baffles 241 arranged in the vertical direction. The baffle 241 has a straight end and a curved end. The curved end matches the inner wall of the collecting roller 21, and the air inlet 243 is between the two curved ends. A baffle 242 is connected between the two straight ends. The baffle 242 is connected to the exhaust pipe 23, and the exhaust pipe 23 is in communication with the air inlet 243.

[0025] Baffle 242 divides the collecting roller 21 into two parts: the part located inside the hair removal chamber 11 (at the air inlet 243) and the part located inside the collecting chamber 14. When the air pump is working, air enters through the hair removal chamber 11 and the air inlet 243 and is drawn out through the air extraction pipe 23. Therefore, the collecting roller 21 at the air inlet 243 is under negative pressure, and the feathers can be adsorbed onto the side wall of the collecting roller 21. With the baffle 242 blocking the air, the part of the collecting roller 21 inside the collecting chamber 14 is under normal air pressure, and the feathers fall off the side wall of the collecting roller 21 under their own weight.

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a support plate 15 is provided inside the shell. The upper part of the support plate 15 is the hair removal chamber 11, and the lower part is the storage chamber 16. The hair removal assembly is assembled on the support plate 15. The lower end of the collecting roller 21 is rotatably engaged with the support plate 15. A material extraction pipe 161 is provided through the storage chamber 16, through which the feathers stored in the storage chamber 16 can be taken out. The setting of the support plate 15 divides the inside of the shell into the hair removal chamber 11 and the storage chamber 16, raising the height of the hair removal chamber 11 to avoid collection dead corners, and at the same time, the storage chamber 16 is added to store the feathers collected in the collecting chamber 14.

[0027] The two ends of the support plate 15 extend outwards and connect sequentially to the lower end of the inner plate 12 and the side wall of the outer plate 13. An opening 2 151 is provided on the support plate 15 within the coverage area of ​​the collection cavity 14, connecting the collection cavity 14 and the storage cavity 16. Feathers collected by the collection cavity 14 slide through the opening 2 151 into the storage cavity 16 for storage. Simultaneously, to ensure that feathers smoothly enter the storage cavity 16 from the collection cavity 14, as shown... Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the section of the support plate 15 located inside the collection cavity 14 is inclined, and the section connecting the outer plate 13 and the support plate 15 is also inclined.

[0028] To address the issue of the rotational fit between the collecting roller 21 and the housing, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the feather collecting device also includes a driving component, which is configured to provide a power source for the rotation of the collecting roller 21. The upper end of the tube 22 penetrates the top wall of the collecting cavity 14 and extends to the outside of the collecting cavity 14. By placing the driving component outside the collecting cavity 14, the feathers inside the collecting cavity 14 can be prevented from affecting the normal operation of the driving component.

[0029] The driving components include a first roller 31 fixedly sleeved on the tube 22 and a motor 32 mounted on the outer wall of the housing. The output end of the motor 32 is connected to a second roller 33. The first roller 31 and the second roller 33 are sleeved on the same transmission belt 34. When the motor 32 is powered on, it drives the second roller 33 to rotate, and drives the first roller 31 to rotate synchronously through the transmission belt 34, thereby realizing the rotation setting of the tube 22 and the collecting drum 21.

[0030] To further ensure that feathers fall smoothly from the collecting roller 21 when its side wall rotates into the collecting chamber 14, the following design is provided: Figure 1 As shown, the feather collection device also includes an auxiliary stripping component; the auxiliary stripping component includes a liquid separator 41 and an infusion tube 42. The liquid separator 41 has a cavity inside and communicates with the infusion tube 42. The liquid separator 41 is located inside the collection chamber 14 and has an outlet hole 43 on the side near the collection roller 21.

[0031] Liquid is continuously supplied into the dispenser 41 through the infusion tube 42. In this embodiment, the liquid can be an electrostatic treatment liquid. The liquid is sprayed through the outlet hole 43 onto the feathers on the side wall of the collecting roller 21, increasing the humidity of the collecting chamber 14 and the feathers, reducing the possibility of static electricity on the feathers during the hair removal process, thereby reducing the possibility of the feathers being attracted to the side wall of the collecting roller 21 by static electricity; at the same time, it increases the weight of the feathers, ensuring that the feathers fall off the collecting roller 21 by their own gravity.

[0032] At the same time, such as Figure 1 As shown, the opening of the liquid outlet 43 is inclined downward; when the liquid is ejected, a downward impact airflow is generated, which provides power for the feather to move downward and detach from the collecting drum 21.

[0033] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it.
