Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of chicken hanging clamp technology, specifically a chicken hanging clamp for a slaughtering production line. Background Technology

[0002] After being stunned and bled, poultry are manually picked up and hung upside down on stainless steel hooks with their legs in place. The entire broiler slaughtering process is completed with the help of a suspended conveyor chain. The hooks are embedded in the hock joints to ensure that the poultry is suspended stably and to facilitate subsequent continuous operations such as plucking and gutting.

[0003] However, the existing technology has the following shortcomings: traditional hangers are mostly made of hard plastic or metal, which makes the legs of broilers prone to congestion and bruising due to compression when they are first hung and before bleeding, thus reducing the quality of the product. In addition, the stress response of broilers when they are first hung can also lead to an increase in the rate of broilers unhooking. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Other features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and will be apparent in part from the description, or may be learned by practicing the invention. The objects and other advantages of the invention may be realized and obtained by means of the structures particularly pointed out in the description and other accompanying drawings.

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a chicken hanging clamp for a slaughtering line. By installing the chicken hanging clamp between the fixed grooves on the V-frame plate, the tarsal joint of one side of the chicken can be directly placed between the nesting cylinders during use. Under the action of weight, the clamping sleeve moves downward and forms a closure with the cooperation of the other clamping sleeve, thereby suspending the chicken on the slaughtering line.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a chicken hanging clamp for a slaughtering line, comprising a sliding frame, a counterweight block installed below the sliding frame, a chicken hanging clamp connected below the counterweight block, a balancing beam inside the chicken hanging clamp, a connecting lug installed above the balancing beam, a fixing bracket installed inside the balancing beam, and a locking cap passing through and fixed to the balancing beam; a V-frame plate inside the fixing bracket, a fixing groove provided on the V-frame plate, chicken hanging clamps installed between the fixing grooves, and a through groove provided behind the chicken hanging clamps.

[0007] In a further improvement to the present invention, a nesting cylinder is provided inside the chicken hanging clamp, an opening groove is provided on the surface of the nesting cylinder, a bucket-shaped groove is formed on the nesting cylinder, a groove washer is fixed at the bottom of the bucket-shaped groove, an even number of clamping sleeves are installed inside the bucket-shaped groove, and a connecting rod hole is provided on the surface of the bucket-shaped groove.

[0008] In a further improvement to the present invention, a semi-circular bucket is provided inside the clamping sleeve, a lower half-ring is connected below the semi-circular bucket, a number of rear spring rods are connected to the outer wall of the semi-circular bucket, an even number of downward pressure columns are provided on the outer side of the lower half-ring, and a semi-circular rubber ring is embedded in the inner surface of the semi-circular bucket.

[0009] In a further improvement to the present invention, an even number of clamping sleeves are arranged opposite to each other and can be combined to form a bucket shape. The even number of clamping sleeves are adapted to the bucket-shaped groove. The lower half ring is nested in the nesting cylinder. The lower pressure column is nested in the nesting cylinder. The rear spring rod is connected to the connecting rod hole.

[0010] In a further improvement to the present invention, the surface of the groove washer is used for support of the bottom of the clamping sleeve, the nesting cylinder is embedded in the V-frame plate, the V-frame plate is fixed to the balance beam by the locking cap in front of the through groove, and the balance beam is connected to the counterweight balance block by the connecting lug.

[0011] In a further improvement to the present invention, an even number of inner grooves are formed on the inner surface of the nested cylinder, a swing sliding plate is installed in the inner groove, an inner hollow groove is formed inside the nested cylinder, and an even number of side slide rails are formed on the side wall of the inner hollow groove.

[0012] In a further improvement to the present invention, the side slide rail is slidably engaged with both sides of the swing slide plate, the top of the swing slide plate is pressed down by the pressing column, and the pressing column is partially nested in the hollow groove inside the cylinder.

[0013] In a further improvement to the present invention, a U-shaped frame is provided inside the sliding frame, and pulleys are installed on the inner wall of the U-shaped frame. A connecting cylinder is connected to the lower part of the U-shaped frame, and a chain groove is opened in the center of the connecting cylinder.

[0014] In a further improvement to the present invention, the connecting block is fixed between the fixing clamps, and the lower part of the counterweight block is connected to the connecting block lug.

[0015] In a further improvement to the present invention, the surface of the semi-circular bucket is covered with rubber. Beneficial effects

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects; 1. This invention allows for one-handed operation of the chicken hanging clamp. The chicken is placed directly between the nesting cylinders at one tarsal joint. As the chicken is hung, the clamping sleeve moves downward under the weight of the clamping sleeve, and moves down synchronously with the other clamping sleeve to form a closed state. This suspends the chicken on the slaughtering line for processing in different ways. It also avoids the problem of the chicken detaching due to stress reaction when it is first hung.

[0017] 2. This invention uses rubber to cover the semi-circular bucket at the tarsal joint, thereby avoiding the excessive clamping of the tarsal joint by traditional pendant materials and preventing congestion and bruising caused by compression on traditional pendants during stress, thus ensuring product quality.

Figure 8 This is a cross-sectional internal structural diagram of the nested cylinder in a chicken hanging clamp of a slaughtering production line according to the present invention.

[0026] This embodiment provides a chicken hanging clamp for a slaughtering production line, including a sliding frame 1, a counterweight 2 installed below the sliding frame 1, a chicken hanging clamp 3 connected below the counterweight 2, a U-shaped frame 11 inside the sliding frame 1, pulleys 12 installed on the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 11, a connecting cylinder 13 connected below the U-shaped frame 11, a chain groove 14 opened in the center of the connecting cylinder 13, a fixing clamp 15 fixed below the connecting cylinder 13, a counterweight 21 inside the counterweight 2, and a connecting block 22 fixed above the counterweight 21.

[0027] Furthermore, the connecting cylinder 13 connected below the U-shaped frame 11 has a chain groove 14, which is mainly used to drive the chain through and provide driving force. At the same time, it works with the pulley 12 on the U-shaped frame 11 to move on the track in the slaughtering production line.

[0028] Furthermore, the counterweight block 21 is mainly used to maintain balance, and with the cooperation of the chicken hanging clamp 3 below, it keeps the chicken hanging in a downward state, reducing its swaying amplitude and preventing the chicken from swinging significantly when turning corners of the slaughtering line.

[0029] The chicken hanging clamp 3 is equipped with a balancing beam 31, a connecting lug 32 is installed above the balancing beam 31, a hanging clamp 34 is installed inside the balancing beam 31, and a locking cap 33 is fixed through and fixed on the balancing beam 31; a V-frame plate 341 is installed inside the hanging clamp 34, a fixing groove 342 is opened on the V-frame plate 341, a chicken hanging clamp 344 is installed between the fixing grooves 342, and a through groove 343 is provided behind the chicken hanging clamp 344.

[0030] Furthermore, the balance beam 31 has built-in balance blocks to help it maintain a balanced state, thereby reducing the slow movement of the broilers when they are hung on the hanging clamps 344 between the fixed slots 342, and reducing the stress response of the broilers when they are first hung.

[0031] The chicken hanging clamp 344 is provided with a nesting cylinder 3441. The surface of the nesting cylinder 3441 is provided with an opening groove 3442. A funnel-shaped groove 3443 is formed on the nesting cylinder 3441. A groove washer 3444 is fixed at the bottom of the funnel-shaped groove 3443. An even number of clamping sleeves 3445 are installed in the funnel-shaped groove 3443. A connecting rod hole 34431 is provided on the surface of the funnel-shaped groove 3443.

[0032] Furthermore, the groove washer 3444 is mainly set at the bottom of the bucket-shaped groove 3443, and is used to fit the clamping sleeve 3445 with the bucket-shaped groove 3443 so that at least two opposing clamping sleeves 3445 can close to form a bucket shape.

[0033] Furthermore, the connecting rod hole 34431 is mainly used for connecting the rear spring rod 34453, so as to support the clamping sleeve 3445 above it when no broiler is being hung, thereby allowing the two to unfold and have a slot in the middle for the broiler's tarsal joint to be hung.

[0034] The clamping sleeve 3445 contains a semi-circular bucket 34451, a lower semi-ring 34452 is connected below the semi-circular bucket 34451, several rear spring rods 34453 are connected to the outer wall of the semi-circular bucket 34451, an even number of downward pressure columns 34454 are provided on the outer side of the lower semi-ring 34452, and a semi-circular rubber ring 34455 is embedded in the inner surface of the semi-circular bucket 34451.

[0035] Furthermore, the pressing column 34454 is partially nested in the nested tube 3441, which can trigger the pressing of the structure in the nested tube 3441.

[0036] Furthermore, the semi-circular rubber ring 34455 embedded on the surface of the semi-circular bucket 34451 is mainly used to engage the trochanter joint of the broiler, thereby preventing the broiler from rubbing against the hanging clamp when under stress, which could cause internal congestion.

[0037] Among them, the inner surface of the nested cylinder 3441 has an even number of inner grooves 34411, the inner grooves 34411 are equipped with swing sliding plates 34412, the nested cylinder 3441 has an inner hollow groove 34413, and the side wall of the inner hollow groove 34413 has an even number of side slide rails 34414.

[0038] Furthermore, the side slide rail 34414 is mainly used for the up and down movement of the swing slide plate 34412, and can be tilted upward to a horizontal state as the pressure column 34454 is pressed down, and set on both sides of the chicken leg for auxiliary support.

[0039] The specific working principle is as follows: This invention involves installing the pulley 12 in the sliding arm 1 and the chain groove 14 in the connecting cylinder 13 on the slaughtering line, thereby forming a linkage for displacement. The fixing clamp 15 is connected to the connecting block 22 on the counterweight block 21. When the broiler is being hung, it can be operated manually with one hand. By holding the chicken's feet and lifting it, it is inserted into the hanging clamp 344 between the fixing grooves 342 in front of the V-frame plate 341 and then released. With the weight of the broiler, the clamping sleeve 3445 moves downward, forcing the rear spring rod 34453 to retract and enter the connecting rod hole 34431. The semi-circular bucket 34451 then inserts downward into the bucket-shaped groove 3443 on the nesting cylinder 3441. The system must be closed to lock the broiler's hock joints, preventing them from falling off during stress. Simultaneously, as the semi-circular bucket 34451 presses down, the pressing column 34454 pushes down the swinging sliding plate 34412 in the groove 34411 inside the bucket. As the side slide rail 34414 moves to the end, it tilts up to a horizontal position, providing auxiliary support to both sides of the broiler's legs, thus keeping the broiler stable. When the remaining chicken leg is after slaughter, it can be directly pushed from bottom to top to separate the closed semi-circular bucket 34451 and remove the chicken leg from the opening slot 3442 between the nesting cylinders 3441. Then, as the slaughtering line circulates, the broiler loading operation is repeated.
