Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of poultry processing equipment, and more specifically to a poultry offal processing device and method. Background Technology

[0002] Poultry is a common food item in the market. Taking duck as an example: after slaughter, live ducks need to undergo a series of processes such as plucking, gutting, internal organ processing, washing, and cutting to obtain a dressed duck (duck carcass). In the internal organ processing process, the existing technology generally removes all the internal organs from the abdomen, such as the technical solution described in the Chinese utility model patent with application number 201921263827.6, application date August 6, 2019, entitled "A workbench for processing duck internal organs", the technical solution described in the Chinese invention patent with application number 202311665196.1, application date December 6, 2023, entitled "Digging-type poultry evisceration device", and the technical solution described in the Chinese invention patent with application number 202411737773.8, application date November 29, 2024, entitled "A poultry internal organ processing robot". Since poultry offal has different nutritional value and prices vary greatly, the above-mentioned method requires further sorting after uniformly removing poultry offal, making the process quite complex.

[0003] Among the existing organ processing solutions, there are also some solutions that specifically target the removal of a particular organ from the abdomen of poultry. For example, the Chinese utility model patent with application number 202322098641.2, application date August 7, 2023, entitled "An Automatic Heart Removal Device for Chickens," describes a solution specifically for removing the heart, or the Chinese utility model patent with application number 202422179545.5, application date September 6, 2024, entitled "A Poultry Chest Opening and Lung Suction Processing System," describes a solution specifically for processing the lungs.

[0004] Meanwhile, during the duck's breeding process, a large amount of fat accumulates in its internal cavity. If processed and consumed directly, it will not only affect the taste, but long-term consumption can also harm human health. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the fat from the inner cavity wall of the duck during processing. Specialized equipment is required to remove the fat from the abdominal cavity.

[0005] Therefore, designing a technical solution that can process poultry viscera and remove abdominal fat has become an urgent problem to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a poultry viscera processing device and processing method that simultaneously performs fat scraping and heart removal on poultry by setting up a fat scraping and heart removal mechanism and a driving mechanism to drive its operation, which is more conducive to the classification of poultry viscera.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is as follows: the poultry viscera processing device includes a main frame, a transmission mechanism is provided in the main frame, and a power mechanism drives the poultry body and the transmission mechanism to move simultaneously. The device is characterized in that: at least one set of oil scraping and core removal mechanisms acting on the poultry body is provided on the transmission mechanism and moves with the transmission mechanism. At the overlapping section of the oil scraping and core removal mechanism's travel path and the poultry body's travel path, the oil scraping and core removal mechanism and the poultry body are in one-to-one correspondence. A drive mechanism is also provided on the travel path of the oil scraping and core removal mechanism. The drive mechanism is used to drive the oil scraping and core removal mechanism to rise and fall, and to make the actuator in the oil scraping and core removal mechanism acting on the poultry body move.

[0008] Preferably, the oil scraping and core removal mechanism includes a scraper arm, a first actuation component, and a second actuation component. The actuator includes an oil scraping structure arranged laterally on the scraper arm. The first actuation component is connected to the scraper arm and drives the scraper arm to move laterally so that the oil scraping structure contacts the plate fat in the poultry body. The second actuation component is connected to the poultry body or the scraper arm and drives the scraper arm to enter and exit the poultry body.

[0009] Preferably, the scraper arm is oscillating on the back plate, the first actuation component drives the scraper arm to oscillate on the surface of the back plate, and the second actuation component is connected to the back plate.

[0010] Preferably, the oil scraping structure includes an oil scraping plate with a plurality of oil scraping teeth.

[0011] Preferably, an outer pressure plate is provided opposite to the oil scraper, and the outer pressure plate is connected to a third actuation component, which drives the outer pressure plate to translate or swing relative to the oil scraper.

[0012] Preferably, the outer pressure plate is fixed on the pressure plate swing arm, and both the pressure plate swing arm and the scraper swing arm are rotatably mounted on the back plate. The first actuation component drives the scraper swing arm to swing on the back plate, the third actuation component drives the pressure plate swing arm to swing on the back plate, and the second actuation component is connected to the back plate.

[0013] Preferably, the actuator within the oil scraping and core-removing mechanism further includes a core-removing ring, which is mounted on the surface of the back plate via a core-removing frame and extends above the oil scraping structure.

[0014] Preferably, the drive mechanism is a drive guide rail that is stationary relative to the main frame and is used to drive the first actuation component and the second actuation component.

[0015] Preferably, at the point where the oil scraping and decapitating mechanism's travel path and the poultry body's travel path overlap, a pusher mechanism for driving the poultry body closer to the oil scraping and decapitating mechanism is also provided.

[0016] A method for processing poultry offal, characterized by comprising the following steps: Step a: The power mechanism drives the transmission mechanism and the poultry body to move simultaneously. At the beginning of the section where the oil scraping and decapitating mechanism and the poultry body's movement paths overlap, the oil scraping and decapitating mechanism and the poultry body are at the point of maximum distance. Step b: Driven by the drive mechanism, the oil scraping and decoction mechanism gradually approaches the poultry body and gradually opens the actuator inside. Step c: The drive mechanism drives the oil scraping and decoction mechanism into the poultry carcass, and the actuator of the oil scraping and decoction mechanism is connected to the part to be processed inside the poultry carcass. In step d, the drive mechanism causes the oil scraping and decapitating mechanism to gradually separate from and move away from the poultry body, while the actuator separates the parts to be processed inside the poultry body from the poultry body.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this invention are: In the poultry viscera processing device and method of this application, by setting up an oil scraping and heart removal mechanism and a driving mechanism to drive its movement, the simultaneous scraping of viscera fat and heart removal of poultry can be achieved, which is more conducive to the classification of the organs in the poultry body.

[0018] By setting a back plate and a swing arm on the surface of the back plate, and using a clamping component that can be opened and closed at the top of the swing arm, the abdominal cavity wall of the duck is clamped, and the fat is removed as the back plate descends. This improves the efficiency of duck fat removal and effectively avoids the injury to the operator's hands caused by manual operation in the prior art.

[0019] The tops of the two scraper blades are bent toward the corresponding outer pressure plate to form curved blades. Multiple grooves are formed at the ends of the curved blades to create claw-like shapes, which improves the scraping effect.

[0020] By setting up a pusher mechanism, the duck's body can be pushed closer to the heart removal ring, so that the heart can be further embedded in the heart removal ring, thus improving the accuracy of heart removal. Attached Figure Description

[0029] Figures 1-7 This is the preferred embodiment of the present invention, which is described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-7 The present invention will be further described below.

[0030] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a poultry viscera processing device includes a main frame 1, a support surface 7 on the bottom surface of the main frame 1, a transmission mechanism horizontally arranged on the surface of the support surface 7, and a plurality of scraping and decoring mechanisms 13 rotatably arranged below the transmission mechanism for processing poultry viscera. Figures 1-2 (Only one is shown in the middle), multiple oil scraping and core-removing mechanisms 13 are evenly arranged and rotate with the transmission mechanism.

[0031] Taking a duck carcass as an example: During the transmission process, the oil-scraping and core-removing mechanism 13 rotates simultaneously with the conveying mechanism. The duck carcass and the oil-scraping and core-removing mechanism 13 travel along different paths, but there is an overlapping section. Within this overlapping section, each duck carcass gradually aligns vertically with the rotating oil-scraping and core-removing mechanism 13. A pusher mechanism 14 for pushing the duck carcass is also provided on one side of the transmission mechanism. The pusher mechanism 14 is located within the overlapping section of the two travel paths and is fixed to the surface of the support surface 7 via a pusher support column 11. When the duck carcass rotates to the pusher mechanism 14, the pusher mechanism 14 actuates, causing the duck carcass to come into contact with the oil-scraping and core-removing mechanism 13, facilitating subsequent oil-scraping and core-removing actions. The pusher mechanism 14 can be implemented using a cylinder, with a pusher (or push rod) installed at the end of the cylinder's piston rod.

[0032] The transmission mechanism includes a vertical beam 6 fixed within the main frame 1. A horizontal support 3 is horizontally mounted on the top of the vertical beam 6. Two drive sprockets 15 are rotatably and coaxially mounted at one end of the horizontal support 3. A tensioning mechanism is mounted at the other end of the horizontal support 3. Two driven sprockets 5 are rotatably and coaxially mounted at the end of the tensioning mechanism. The two drive sprockets 15 and the two driven sprockets 5 are arranged vertically, and a chain 4 is fitted around the corresponding set of drive sprockets 15 and driven sprockets 5.

[0033] A support mechanism is coaxially and rotatably mounted on the lower part of the lower drive sprocket 15. The support mechanism includes a coaxially fixed support cylinder 10 and a rotating base plate 9, which is rotatably mounted on the surface of the support surface 7. A power mechanism is provided on the upper part of the upper drive sprocket 15. The power mechanism, the two lower drive sprockets 15, and the support mechanism are coaxially fixed and rotate synchronously.

[0034] Several hangers 16 are also provided on the outside of the power mechanism, arranged along the chain 4. Figures 1-2 (Only one set is shown in the figure), all hangers 16 are softly connected and form a closed loop. All hangers 16 connected in a ring serve as the power source for the poultry offal processing device of this application. The far end of the hanger 16 is connected to the power mechanism. When the hanger 16 rotates to the power mechanism, it is connected to the power mechanism and rotates under the drive of the power mechanism, which in turn drives the upper and lower active sprockets 15 and the support mechanism below it to rotate synchronously.

[0035] Hanger guide rails are provided on the upper part of all hangers 16. All hangers 16 are secured to the bottom of the hanger guide rails and move along the arrangement direction of the hanger guide rails. The hanger guide rails have an undulating structure, and are at their lowest point when they extend to the power mechanism, at which point the hangers 16 are in contact with the power mechanism. The duck carcasses to be processed are hung below the hangers 16 and enter the poultry offal processing device of this application along with the hangers 16. When transferred to the output side of the poultry offal processing device of this application, the subsequent oil scraping and decoring mechanism 13 performs oil scraping and decoring actions.

[0036] The power mechanism includes a mounting plate 2, on which radially recessed slots are evenly distributed around the outer periphery. When a hanger 16 moves along the hanger guide rail to the mounting plate 2, the hanger 16 is engaged in a slot on the outer periphery of the mounting plate 2. The hanger 16 provides power to the slot. Since all hangers 16 are connected in sequence, multiple hangers 16 are always engaged with the slots when they move to the mounting plate 2. The multiple hangers 16 engaged in the slots provide power to the mounting plate 2, driving the mounting plate 2 to rotate.

[0037] The specific structure of the power mechanism (including the hanger 16 and the mounting plate 2), the transmission mechanism, and the method of rotating the mounting plate 2 through the hanger 16 are all implemented using structures known in the art, such as the technical solution described in the Chinese utility model patent (application number 202420309024.4) entitled "A Skinning and Head Cutting Integrated Machine" filed by the applicant on February 20, 2024, which will not be repeated here.

[0038] like Figures 3-5 As shown, the oil scraping and core-removing mechanism 13 includes a back plate 24, with rear guide plates 29 spaced apart on the back side of the back plate 24. The back plate 24 and the rear guide plates 29 are fixedly connected by two rear guide blocks 30. A guide shaft 12 is installed through each rear guide block 30, and the two guide shafts 12 are fixed side by side to the surface of the rotating base plate 9. This allows the oil scraping and core-removing mechanism 13 to rise and fall along the guide shafts 12. Rear guide wheels 28 are installed on the back side of the rear guide plates 29.

[0039] A set of front guide blocks 31 are fixed side by side at the lower part of the front end face of the back plate 24. A front guide shaft 35 is installed in each of the two front guide blocks 31. The bottoms of the two front guide shafts 35 are connected by a connecting rod 33. An opening and closing control frame 39 is fixed at the top of the two front guide shafts 35. A front guide wheel 32 is provided at the bottom of the connecting rod 33.

[0040] Within the main frame 1, two sets of drive rails 8 are also provided. These two sets of drive rails 8 have an undulating structure and correspond to the front guide wheel 32 and the rear guide wheel 28, respectively. The front guide wheel 32 slides along its corresponding drive rail 8, and during this sliding process, it achieves the raising and lowering of the opening and closing control frame 39. The drive rail 8 corresponding to the rear guide wheel 28 includes at least two sections. The rear guide wheel 28 slides along the upper and lower surfaces of the two drive rail sections 8, respectively, achieving the overall undulation of the oil scraping and core-removing mechanism 13.

[0041] As the rotating base plate 9 rotates, all the oil scraping and core-removing mechanisms 13 installed on its surface gradually come into contact with the corresponding drive rails 8, achieving cyclic lifting and lowering. The method of using drive rails 8 to implement the oil scraping and core-removing mechanism 13 is common knowledge and a conventional approach in this field. The specific outline of the drive rails 8 can be set according to the required lifting and lowering position and height of the oil scraping and core-removing mechanism 13, and will not be elaborated further here.

[0042] An opening and closing frame hanging column 36 is vertically fixed in the middle of the front end face of the opening and closing control frame 39. A rear opening and closing frame tension spring 34 is hung on the opening and closing frame hanging column 36. The bottom of the opening and closing frame tension spring 34 extends downward and is hung in the middle of the lower end of the back plate 24. When the connecting rod 33 is not driven by the front drive mechanism, the opening and closing control frame 39 tends to move downward under the action of the opening and closing frame tension spring 34.

[0043] Two hinge shafts are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the front end face of the back plate 24. A set of swing arms is hinged to each hinge shaft. Each set of swing arms includes a scraper swing arm 22 and a pressure plate swing arm 23. Both the scraper swing arm 22 and the pressure plate swing arm 23 are arranged vertically, and the scraper swing arm 22 is located inside the pressure plate swing arm 23 on the same side.

[0044] A scraper blade 19 is fixed to the top of the scraper arm 22, and an outer pressure plate 20 is fixed to the top of the pressure plate arm 23. The two scraper blades 19 are symmetrically arranged and located inside the two outer pressure plates 20. The scraper blades 19 and the outer pressure plates 20 extend upward to the upper part of the back plate 24. The tops of the two scraper blades 19 are bent towards the corresponding outer pressure plate 20 to form curved plates. Multiple grooves are formed at the ends of the curved plates of the two scraper blades 19 to form claws, so as to improve the oil scraping effect.

[0045] Each scraper blade 19 and each outer pressure plate 20 has a long, narrow adjustment groove at its bottom. The scraper blade 19 is connected to the scraper arm 22 via an adjustment bolt 40 passing through the adjustment groove, and the outer pressure plate 20 is connected to the pressure plate arm 23 via the same adjustment bolt 40. The design of the adjustment grooves at the bottom of the scraper blade 19 and the outer pressure plate 20 allows for adjustment of their respective angles in the front-to-back direction.

[0046] A core-removing frame 21 is also fixed to the surface of the back plate 24. The core-removing frame 21 is located between the two side swing arms (scraper swing arm 22 and pressure plate swing arm 23) and extends upward to the upper part of the two side clamps (oil scraper 19 and outer pressure plate 20). A core-removing plate 18 is fixed to the top of the core-removing frame 21, and a core-removing ring 17 is provided on the top of the core-removing plate 18. The core-removing ring 17 is a vertically arranged ring.

[0047] Combination Figures 6-7The bottom of the pressure plate swing arm 23 bends inward to form a pressure plate bend. A pressure plate swing arm guide wheel 38 is provided at the bend at the bottom of the pressure plate swing arm 23. A pressure plate swing arm tension spring 27 is attached to the end of the pressure plate bend. The inner end of the pressure plate swing arm tension spring 27 is attached to the end of the pressure plate bend, and its outer end extends horizontally in the opposite direction to the bend of the pressure plate bend and is attached to the end of the back plate 24. When the pressure plate swing arm 23 is not subjected to external force, under the action of the tension spring 27, and in conjunction with the hinge shaft at its top, the outer pressure plate 20 at the top of the pressure plate swing arm 23 tends to swing inward.

[0048] Fine-tuning plates 26 are respectively provided on both sides of the front end face of the back plate 24. The fine-tuning plates 26 are located in the middle of the back plate 24, and the two fine-tuning plates 26 are respectively located on the outer side of the pressure plate swing arm 23 on the same side. A fine-tuning shaft 25 is threadedly installed in each fine-tuning plate 26. The inner end of the fine-tuning shaft 25 abuts against the outer wall of the pressure plate swing arm 23 on the same side. By rotating the fine-tuning shaft 25, the relative position between it and the fine-tuning plate 26 can be adjusted, thereby further adjusting the swing angle of the pressure plate swing arm 23.

[0049] The bottom of the scraper arm 22 bends outward to form a scraper bend, which is located above the bend of the pressure plate on the same side. A scraper arm guide wheel 37 and a scraper arm tension spring 41 are provided at the bend at the bottom of the scraper arm 22, with both ends of the tension spring 41 hooked to the ends of the bends at both ends of the scraper arm. When the scraper arm 22 is not subjected to external force, under the elastic force of the tension spring 41, and in conjunction with the hinge shaft at its top, the scraper blade 19 at the top of the scraper arm 22 tends to swing outward, i.e., towards the outer pressure plate 20 on the same side.

[0050] The aforementioned opening and closing control frame 39 is mountain-shaped, including a central drive column vertically arranged in the middle and end drive columns located at both ends. Drive gaps are formed between the central drive column and the end drive columns on both sides. The pressure plate swing arm guide wheels 38, installed at the bottom of the pressure plate swing arms 23 on both sides, are located inside the end drive columns on both sides of the opening and closing control frame 39. The scraper swing arm guide wheels 37, installed at the bottom of the scraper swing arms 22 on both sides, are located on both sides of the central drive column of the opening and closing control frame 39.

[0051] The top of the end drive column is provided with inclined surfaces that slide in cooperation with the pressure plate swing arm guide wheel 38, and the top of the middle drive column is provided with inclined surfaces that slide in cooperation with the scraper swing arm guide wheel 37 on both sides.

[0052] The specific working process and working principle are as follows: The poultry offal processing method implemented by the above-mentioned poultry offal processing device includes the following steps: Step 1: The power mechanism drives the transmission mechanism to rotate while moving the duck body. The oil scraping and core removing mechanism 13, which rotates with the transmission mechanism, gradually aligns with the upper and lower parts of the duck body. At this time, the drive guide rails 8, which correspond to the front guide wheel 32 and the rear guide wheel 28 respectively, make the oil scraping and core removing mechanism 13 and the opening and closing control frame 39 inside it at the lowest position.

[0053] The opening and closing control frame 39 separates simultaneously from the scraper swing arm guide wheel 37 and the pressure plate swing arm guide wheel 38; the outer pressure plate 20 at the top of the pressure plate swing arm 23 moves inward under the elastic force of its respective pressure plate swing arm tension spring 27, while the oil scraper 19 at the top of the scraper swing arm 22 moves closer to its corresponding outer pressure plate 20 under the elastic force of its respective scraper swing arm tension spring 41, that is, the oil scraper 19 and the outer pressure plate 20 on the same side are in a closed state.

[0054] Step 2: The drive rail 8 drives the opening and closing control frame 39 to rise via the front guide wheel 32. The opening and closing control frame 39 gradually contacts the scraper arm guide wheel 37 and the pressure plate arm guide wheel 38. After the opening and closing control frame 39 (middle drive column) contacts the scraper arm guide wheel 37, it causes the bottom of the two scraper arms 22 to separate, and the oil scraper 19 at the top of the two scraper arms 22 moves inward (toward the center line of the back plate 24). After the opening and closing control frame 39 contacts the pressure plate arm guide wheel 38, the side drive columns on both sides cause the bottom of the two pressure plate arms 23 to move inward (toward the center line of the back plate 24), and the outer pressure plate 20 at the top of the two pressure plate arms 23 to separate outward. That is, the oil scraper 19 and the outer pressure plate 20 on the same side are in the open state. Figure 4 The state shown.

[0055] Step 3: The drive rail 8 drives the oil scraping and core removal mechanism 13 to rise to its highest position via the rear guide wheel 28. The oil scraping plate 19 and the outer pressure plate 20 contact the already opened duck body. The oil scraping plates 19 on both sides enter the abdominal cavity of the duck body and are located on the inner side of the cavity wall on both sides, while the outer pressure plates 20 on both sides are located on the outer side of the cavity wall on both sides. At the same time, the core removal ring 17 rises synchronously to the heart in the duck body cavity.

[0056] Step 4: When the oil scraping and heart-removing mechanism 13 is in the highest position described in step 3, the duck body rotates to the position corresponding to the push block mechanism 14. The push block mechanism 14 moves to push the duck body closer to the heart-removing ring 17, so that the duck's heart is put into the heart-removing ring 17.

[0057] In step 5, as the front guide wheel 32 slides along the drive guide rail 8, it moves downward along the contour of the drive guide rail 8. The opening and closing control frame 39 moves downward under the action of the opening and closing frame tension spring 34 and disengages from the scraper swing arm guide wheel 37 and the pressure plate swing arm guide wheel 38 respectively. As mentioned above, the oil scraper 19 and the outer pressure plate 20 on the same side are in a closed state, but they clamp the cavity wall of the duck body from both sides respectively.

[0058] Step 6: Drive the guide rail 8 to press the rear guide wheel 28 to lower the oil scraping and heart removal mechanism 13 as a whole, which in turn drives the oil scraping plate 19 and the outer pressure plate 20 to descend in the closed state. After descending to the lowest position, the fat in the abdominal cavity of the duck is scraped off, and at the same time, the heart removal ring 17 is lowered to pull the heart out of the abdominal cavity of the duck.

[0059] Example 2: The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the duck and the oil scraping and core removing mechanism 13 move in a circular trajectory on the upper and lower planes respectively, and the overlapping section of the two travel paths is not the arc path in embodiment 1, but a straight path, such as the duck and the oil scraping and core removing mechanism 13 moving in a "racetrack" shaped trajectory respectively.

[0060] The drive guide rail 8 is arranged on the straight section of the running trajectory of the oil scraping and core removing mechanism 13, and drives the entire mechanism and the opening and closing control frame 39 to rise and fall respectively.

[0061] The pushing mechanism 14 is positioned at the highest point of the oil scraping and heart-removing mechanism 13. The pushing mechanism 14 can also be implemented by a fixed squeezing block. When the duck body is squeezed by the squeezing block, the squeezing block squeezes the duck body closer to the oil scraping and heart-removing mechanism 13, thus achieving the fitting of the heart and the heart-removing ring 17.

[0062] Example 3: The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 2 is that the number of push block mechanism 14 and oil scraping and core removal mechanism 13 are the same and they correspond one-to-one. They move synchronously with the corresponding oil scraping and core removal mechanism 13 and are activated when the oil scraping and core removal mechanism 13 rises to the highest point.

[0063] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
