A chicken offal feeding tube

Abstract

This invention discloses a chicken viscera feeding pipe, including a support frame, a receiving hopper mounted on the support frame, a cleaning pipe mounted on the receiving hopper, and several feeding pipes connected to the end of the receiving hopper. A pipe body is installed inside the feeding pipes, and an even number of outer protective covers are fixed to the outer wall of the pipe body. Each outer protective cover is equipped with a receiver. An even number of inner support rods are installed inside the pipe body, and connecting flanges are installed at both ends of the pipe body. An inner cavity is formed inside the pipe body, and a viewing cover is installed on the side wall of the inner cavity. An infrared sensor is installed inside the viewing cover. This invention uses the infrared sensor to directly cooperate with the controller to trigger the electromagnetic drive unit, thereby causing the valve disc sealed on the valve seat to close when the cavity is empty after the conveyed material passes through. This maintains a certain pressure inside the pipe, completing the conveying of the material. This avoids the reverse flow of material caused by pipe pressure fluctuations and the falling of material at the front end due to gravity or inertia, which can lead to decreased conveying efficiency or even equipment blockage.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pipeline equipment technology, specifically a chicken viscera feeding pipe. Background Technology

[0002] Chicken offal is a general term for multiple organs in a chicken's body. It is not only an important part of the flavor of chicken meat, but also a special ingredient in cooking due to its unique taste and nutritional value. Different offal perform specific physiological functions in the chicken's body, and their shapes, locations and eating characteristics also vary. Chicken offal includes chicken heart, chicken liver, chicken gizzard, chicken intestines, etc.

[0003] However, the existing technology has the following shortcomings: When transporting chicken offal, the pressure fluctuation in the pipeline can easily cause the material to flow backward. This is even more pronounced when the pump works intermittently. When the pump stops, the pressure drops to zero, and the material at the front end falls back due to gravity or inertia. When restarting, the material that has not been discharged is pushed backward, which exacerbates the backflow and can easily lead to a decrease in conveying efficiency or even equipment blockage. 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 offal feeding pipe. An infrared sensor installed inside the pipe triggers its electromagnetic drive unit, causing the valve disc to complete the sealing match between the valve disc and the valve seat as the infrared sensor detects the material. When the conveyed material passes through and is in a cavity state, the infrared sensor receives a command to close the valve disc, forming an active control to prevent backflow, thereby ensuring conveying efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution: a chicken viscera feeding pipe, comprising a support frame, a receiving hopper mounted on the support frame, a cleaning pipe mounted on the receiving hopper, a plurality of feeding pipes connected to the end of the receiving hopper, a pipe body disposed inside the feeding pipe, an even number of outer protective covers fixed to the outer wall of the pipe body, each outer protective cover being equipped with a receiver, an even number of inner support rods disposed inside the pipe body, and connecting flanges disposed at both ends of the pipe body; an inner cavity is formed within the pipe body, a transparent cover is mounted on the side wall of the inner cavity, an infrared sensor is disposed inside the transparent cover, ultraviolet light strips are disposed above and below the transparent cover, a valve seat is installed in the inner cavity, a concave rubber sleeve groove is disposed above the valve seat, and an electromagnetic drive unit is mounted on the concave rubber sleeve groove.

[0007] In a further improvement to the present invention, an even number of reset springs and spring slots are formed within the electromagnetic drive unit, and an electromagnetic coil is installed in each of the reset springs and spring slots. An iron core is provided in front of each reset spring and spring slot, and a connecting sleeve is provided on the top of each iron core. A valve disc is connected to the connecting sleeve, and an electromagnet is installed at the end of each iron core.

[0008] In a further improvement to the present invention, the electromagnet is disposed at the center of the return spring and the spring groove, the iron core is electrically coupled to the electromagnetic coil, the valve disc is coupled to the valve seat, the connecting sleeve is fixed to the upper surface of the valve disc, and the electromagnetic coil is electrically coupled to the receiver.

[0009] In a further improvement to the present invention, the concave rubber sleeve groove cooperates with the valve disc, the connecting flange is used for sealing connection between the pipe bodies, and the inner support rod is disposed below the valve disc and is used for limiting the valve disc.

[0010] In a further improvement to the present invention, the infrared sensor is electrically coupled to the receiver, the transparent cover is used to cover and allow the infrared sensor to see through, and the ultraviolet light strip is electrically coupled to the receiver.

[0011] In a further improvement to the present invention, a pipe frame is provided inside the pipe support frame, a crossbeam is provided on the pipe frame, a first support is installed at one end of the crossbeam, a second support is installed at the other end of the crossbeam, a number of auxiliary pipe clamps are provided on the second support, a controller is fixed on the outer wall of the second support, a water supply pipe is provided inside the cleaning pipe, and a valve is installed on the water supply pipe.

[0012] In a further improvement to the present invention, the controller is used for electrical coordination with the receiver, the first support frame is used for the installation of the water supply pipe, the pipe frame has its own connecting pipe, and the connecting pipe on the pipe frame is respectively connected to the receiving hopper and the feeding pipe.

[0013] In a further improvement to the present invention, the crossbeam is used to fix the second support and the first support, the auxiliary pipe clamp is fastened to the outer wall of the feeding pipe, and the height of the second support is adapted to the length of the feeding pipe.

[0014] In a further improvement to the present invention, the water supply pipe is connected to the lower middle position of the receiving hopper, and the valve is used to control the external water flow.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects;

[0016] This invention uses an infrared sensor to directly trigger the electromagnetic drive unit in conjunction with the controller. This causes the valve disc sealed on the valve seat to close when the cavity is empty after the conveyed material passes through, thus maintaining a certain pressure inside the pipeline and completing the conveying of the material. This avoids the reverse flow of materials caused by pipeline pressure fluctuations and the falling of materials at the front end due to gravity or inertia, which can lead to a decrease in conveying efficiency or even equipment blockage.

Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0030] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings: Example 1

[0031] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 8 As shown:

[0032] This embodiment provides a chicken viscera feeding pipe, including a support frame 1, a receiving hopper 2 installed on the support frame 1, a cleaning pipe 3 installed on the receiving hopper 2, and several feeding pipes 4 connected to the end of the receiving hopper 2. A pipe frame 11 is installed inside the support frame 1, and a crossbeam 12 is installed on the pipe frame 11. A first support 13 is installed at one end of the crossbeam 12, and a second support 14 is installed at the other end of the crossbeam 12. Several sets of auxiliary pipe clamps 15 are installed on the second support 14, and a controller 16 is fixed to the outer wall of the second support 14. A water supply pipe body 31 is installed inside the cleaning pipe 3, and a valve 32 is installed on the water supply pipe body 31. The feeding pipe 4 is provided with a pipe body 41. An even number of outer protective covers 42 are fixed on the outer wall of the pipe body 41. A receiver 43 is installed on each outer protective cover 42. An even number of inner support rods 44 are provided inside the pipe body 41. A connecting flange 45 is provided at both ends of the pipe body 41. An inner cavity 411 is formed inside the pipe body 41. A transparent cover 412 is installed on the side wall of the inner cavity 411. An infrared sensor 417 is installed inside the transparent cover 412. An ultraviolet lamp strip 413 is provided above and below the transparent cover 412. A valve seat 415 is installed in the inner cavity 411. An inner concave rubber sleeve groove 416 is provided above the valve seat 415. An electromagnetic drive unit 414 is installed on the inner concave rubber sleeve groove 416. An even number of return springs and spring grooves 4144 are formed inside the electromagnetic drive unit 414. An electromagnetic coil 4145 is installed in each of the return springs and spring grooves 4144. An iron core 4141 is provided in front of the return springs and spring grooves 4144. A connecting sleeve 4142 is provided on the top of each iron core 4141. A valve disc 4143 is connected to the connecting sleeve 4142. An electromagnet 4146 is installed at the end of each iron core 4141.

[0033] Furthermore, the pipe rack 11 has its own pipe, which is set as the center position by nesting with the crossbeam 12, while the first support 13 and the second support 14 are fixedly installed on both sides to complete the connection and reinforcement of the feeding pipe 4.

[0034] Furthermore, the controller 16, with PLC as its core, integrates the following functions: trigger control and fault protection. The fault protection is triggered when valve disc 4143 fails to close properly three times in a row. The PLC then triggers an alarm and cuts off the power supply to the suction pump to prevent a large amount of material from flowing back.

[0035] Furthermore, the pipe body 41 is made of 316L stainless steel, the wall is electrolytically polished, and with the cooperation of the connecting flanges 45 at both ends of the pipe body 41, it forms a feeding pipe 4 of the corresponding length.

[0036] Furthermore, silicone rings are installed on both the valve seat 415 and the valve disc 4143. These rings are made of food-grade platinum vulcanized silicone, with a temperature range of 40℃ to 200℃, and are resistant to oil, weak acids, and weak alkalis.

[0037] Furthermore, the pipe body 41 and valve seat 415 are welded using TIG argon arc welding, and the electromagnetic drive unit 414 is encapsulated with epoxy resin to prevent moisture and corrosion.

[0038] Furthermore, two electromagnets 4146 are provided, which are respectively installed at the end of the iron core 4141 and the end of the spring groove in the return spring and spring groove 4144, so that the electromagnets 4146 form an attraction after the electromagnetic coil 4145 is energized.

[0039] Furthermore, based on actual usage, when the upstream suction pump starts, the PLC built into the controller 16 sends a signal → the PLC outputs current to the electromagnetic coil 4145 → the electromagnet 4146 generates attraction force to overcome the spring force of the reset spring → the iron core 4141 pulls the valve disc 4143 to move towards the concave rubber sleeve groove 416 → the valve disc 4143 separates from the valve seat 415, the pipeline opens, and the material is conveyed normally.

[0040] Furthermore, based on actual usage, when the suction pump stops or the infrared sensor 417 detects that the inner cavity 411 of the tube is empty, the signal is fed back to the controller 16, and the current of the electromagnetic coil 4145 is cut off by the PLC → the reset spring pushes the iron core 4141 to reset → the valve disc 4143 presses the valve seat 415 tightly to form a seal and block the reverse flow of materials.

[0041] The specific working principle is as follows:

[0042] In this invention, a first support frame 13 and a second support frame 14 are respectively installed on both sides by a pipe frame 11 and a crossbeam 12. The first support frame 13 supports the water supply pipe 31 installed on the receiving hopper 2, while the second support frame 14 clamps and fixes the feeding pipe 4 composed of multiple pipes 41 through an auxiliary pipe frame 15. The pipes 41 are connected by a connecting flange 45 to form a sealed connection. In use, the conveying material is poured into the receiving hopper 2, and the suction pump at the end is activated to complete the pumping of the conveying material. As the conveying material enters, the controller 16 sends a signal to the PLC, causing current to flow to the electromagnetic coil 4145. The electromagnet 4146 generates a suction force, which overcomes the return spring and the return spring in the spring groove 4144. The spring force causes the arc-shaped iron core 4141 to retract into the electromagnetic drive unit 414, causing the valve disc 4143 to move towards the concave rubber sleeve groove 416, thus opening the pipeline and allowing normal material transport. When the infrared sensor 417 covered inside the transparent cover 412 senses that the inner cavity 411 of the pipe is in a hollow state, it sends a feedback signal to the controller 16, which then cuts off the current of the electromagnetic coil 4145 through the PLC. The reset spring and the reset spring in the spring groove 4144 push the iron core 4141 to reset, causing the valve disc 4143 to press tightly against the valve seat 415 again. The bottom is limited and supported by the inner support rod 44, completing the seal and blocking the reverse flow of material. At the same time, it ensures the internal pressure of the pipe body 41 to prevent the conveyed material from flowing back.

[0043] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 2 Appendix Figure 4-5 Appendix Figure 7 As shown;

[0044] The specific working principle is as follows:

[0045] The present invention allows the controller 16 to independently control the receiver 43 on the outer protective cover 42 fixed outside the tube body 41, so that the receiver 43 turns on the ultraviolet lamp strip 413 in the inner cavity 411 of the tube. With the valve 4143 closed, a closed cavity is formed. Thus, after the equipment is finished each day, the controller 16 can be adjusted to turn on the ultraviolet lamp strip 413 for 20-30 minutes and then turn it off at a time, so as to complete the sterilization of the inner wall of the tube body 41 and prevent the growth of internal bacteria.
