Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of poultry meat processing and conveying technology, and in particular to a workbench based on raw material trimming and transfer. Background Technology

[0002] In the poultry meat processing industry, as chain restaurants, catering companies, and export customers increasingly demand higher quality standards for raw materials, such as shape, blood clots, bone fragments, and fat residue, processing workshops commonly set up "sorting / trimming stations" for secondary finishing of chicken breasts, legs, and wings. A typical practice involves pouring the raw materials onto a stainless steel workbench, where multiple workers stand around it, using visual inspection scissors and knives to sort and trim them. The trimmed raw materials then meet the quality standards. In existing technology, the scraps (minced meat, fat, tendons, and bone fragments) generated during sorting and trimming are temporarily piled on the workbench. After each batch is finished, a designated person collects the scraps from the workbench, transferring them to a collection box, and then to a cold storage or feed-grade processing room.

[0003] The existing technical solutions have the following common defects: Because the workbench only has a flat surface for load-bearing, the scraps after trimming can only be discarded on the surface. When too many scraps accumulate, they easily mix with the meat raw materials, causing product chaos on the workbench and making it impossible to separate raw materials from scraps. When manually transferring scraps, omissions are likely, resulting in scraps mixed in with the trimmed raw materials, affecting product quality. In addition, a worker needs to transfer scraps at set intervals, increasing labor costs. Moreover, the workbench is generally long, and when multiple trimming workers are working around it, the transfer worker needs to go between different trimming workers to clean up the scraps on the workbench, which can conflict with the trimming workers' work and affect overall work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a workbench based on raw material trimming and transfer. By setting a material drop port on the upper work platform, the scrap material entering the drop port slides down the guide chute onto the horizontal conveyor belt arranged on the lower level, realizing centralized processing of scrap material and eliminating the need for a large amount of scrap material to accumulate on the upper work platform and then be handled by separate transfer personnel.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution: A workbench based on raw material trimming and transfer includes a support frame. The top of the support frame is equipped with a transverse conveyor belt and an upper working platform. The upper working platform is located above the transverse conveyor belt. Multiple material drop ports are opened along the length direction on the upper working platform. A chute is connected below the material drop ports of the upper working platform. The bottom end of the chute extends to the position of the transverse conveyor belt. The scrap material after trimming on the upper working platform is placed at the material drop port and then slides directly onto the transverse conveyor belt through the chute.

[0006] As a further implementation, the material discharge port is located on both sides of the upper working platform along its length.

[0007] As a further implementation, the material discharge port is located in the middle of the upper working platform, and multiple material discharge ports are located on the same straight line.

[0008] As a further implementation, the support frame includes multiple sets of legs arranged side by side along the length of the workbench. The bottom of the multiple sets of legs is equipped with self-locking casters. The top of the multiple sets of legs is fixedly connected to two sets of crossbeams. The top of the crossbeams is fixed to the upper work platform by vertical support rods.

[0009] As a further implementation, the two ends of the two sets of crossbeams are respectively provided with a driving roller and a driven roller, and the transverse conveyor belt is installed on the driving roller and the driven roller.

[0010] As a further implementation, the chute is inclined relative to the upper working platform, the chute cross-section is U-shaped, the upper end of the chute is connected to the material discharge port, and the lower end is located directly above the transverse conveyor belt.

[0011] As a further implementation, the upper working platform is provided with multiple platform grooves along the length direction, and the edge of the upper working platform is provided with a flange.

[0012] As a further implementation, multiple sets of longitudinal conveyor belts, transverse conveyor belts and upper working platforms are arranged side by side, with the longitudinal conveyor belts located at the discharge end of the transverse conveyor belts and receiving boxes at the end of the longitudinal conveyor belts.

[0013] As a further implementation, multiple sets of longitudinal conveyor belts, transverse conveyor belts, and upper work platforms are also provided and located on both sides of the longitudinal conveyor belt.

[0014] As a further implementation, the support rod includes an outer sleeve and an inner tube, with multiple through holes vertically arranged on the outer sleeve and the inner tube. After the relative positions of the outer sleeve and the inner tube are adjusted, they cooperate with the pin through the through holes.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. This invention achieves centralized processing of scrap materials by setting a material drop port on the upper working platform. After entering the material drop port, the scrap materials slide down the chute onto the horizontal conveyor belt arranged on the lower level. This eliminates the need for a large amount of scrap materials to accumulate on the upper working platform and then be handled by separate transfer personnel. It also does not affect the trimming work of the trimming personnel, thus improving work efficiency and reducing labor costs.

[0016] 2. This invention utilizes one or more sets of longitudinal conveyor belts connected to multiple sets of centrally arranged transverse conveyor belts. This allows for the collection of scrap materials from multiple transverse conveyor belts using only one set of longitudinal conveyor belts. Only one person is needed to monitor the receiving bins at the end of the longitudinal conveyor belt. When one receiving bin is nearly full, another empty receiving bin is pushed to the end of the longitudinal conveyor belt to continue receiving materials. This structural arrangement eliminates the need for transport personnel to frequently move to different upper work platforms to clean up scrap materials, significantly reducing the workload of transport personnel. Furthermore, the work of transport personnel and trimming personnel does not interfere with each other, resulting in higher overall work efficiency.

[0017] 3. The upper working platform of the present invention is height-adjustable via support rods to facilitate the work of staff. Attached Figure Description

[0022] It should be noted that the following detailed description is illustrative and intended to provide further explanation of the invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this invention have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0023] Example 1 In a typical embodiment of the present invention, reference is made to Figures 1-6 As shown, a workbench based on raw material trimming and transfer includes a support frame. The top of the support frame is provided with a transverse conveyor belt and an upper work platform 1. The upper work platform 1 is located above the transverse conveyor belt. Multiple material drop ports are opened on the upper work platform 1 along its length. A chute is connected below the material drop ports of the upper work platform. The bottom end of the chute extends to the position of the transverse conveyor belt. The scraps of raw materials after trimming on the upper work platform are placed at the material drop ports and then slide directly onto the transverse conveyor belt via the chute.

[0024] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the support frame serves as the installation support structure for the transverse conveyor belt 6 and the upper working platform 1, including multiple sets of support legs 5 arranged side by side along the length of the workbench. The tops of the multiple sets of support legs are fixedly connected to two sets of crossbeams, that is, the two sets of crossbeams 3 fix the multiple sets of support legs 5 together.

[0025] Multiple sets of support rods 4 are vertically installed at the top of the two sets of crossbeams 3 along their length. The top of the crossbeams is connected to the upper working platform 1 through the vertical support rods 4 to fix the upper working platform 1. The upper working platform 1 is rectangular in shape.

[0026] Multiple outriggers are equipped with self-locking casters at the bottom, which allow the worktable to be repositioned and its position adjusted.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the two sets of crossbeams 3 have a drive roller 21 and a driven roller 22 respectively mounted on their ends via bearing seats. The drive roller 21 and driven roller 22 can rotate at the ends of the crossbeams 3. A transverse conveyor belt is mounted on the drive roller and driven roller. One end of the shaft of the drive roller 21 passes through the bearing seat and is equipped with a bevel gear. A motor is mounted on the outside of the crossbeam, and a bevel gear is mounted on the output end of the motor, which cooperates with the bevel gear on the shaft. The motor drives the drive roller 21 to rotate, and the drive roller 21 drives the driven roller 22 to rotate via the transverse conveyor belt 6. The transverse conveyor belt 6 realizes transverse conveying. The length direction of the transverse conveyor belt 6 is in the same direction as the length direction of the upper working platform 1, and the two are arranged parallel to each other.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, multiple sets of platform grooves 12 are arranged along the length direction at the middle position on the upper working platform 1. The platform grooves 12 are recessed relative to the table surface of the upper working platform 1. The cross-section of the platform groove 1 is rectangular. An electronic scale can be placed in the platform groove 1, which makes it convenient for workers to weigh the meat raw materials after trimming. The setting of the platform groove 1 reduces the height of the weighing surface of the electronic scale, making it easier for workers to operate.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the material discharge port is located on both sides along the length of the upper working platform. The shape of the material discharge port is preferably rectangular, and the material discharge port 11 is close to the length side of the upper working platform 1.

[0030] In the actual sorting and trimming of raw materials, multiple workers stand or sit on both sides of the upper working platform along its length, at a set distance. After pouring the raw materials onto the upper working platform, the raw materials are trimmed. The trimmed scraps are thrown directly into the discharge port 13, and the scraps slide directly through the chute 13 onto the transverse conveyor belt 6. The transverse conveyor belt 6 moves the scraps to the designated location for collection.

[0031] The above structural arrangement prevents scraps from accumulating on the upper working platform 1, thus separating raw materials from scraps and avoiding confusion between them. This also prevents cross-contamination caused by prolonged product stagnation, greatly improving product quality.

[0032] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the chute 13 is inclined relative to the upper working platform 1. The chute has a U-shaped cross-section. The upper end of the chute is connected to the material drop port, and its size is adapted to the size of the material drop port. The lower end is located directly above the transverse conveyor belt, ensuring that the scrap material can slide smoothly onto the transverse conveyor belt 6.

[0033] In other examples, depending on the width of the upper working platform 1, the material discharge port can be located in the middle of the upper working platform 1. Multiple material discharge ports 11 are located on the same straight line. The material discharge ports are staggered from the platform groove 12. The material discharge port can be located in the middle of the upper working platform 1, which also makes it convenient for workers on both sides of the upper working platform 1 to throw the scraps into the material discharge port.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, the upper working platform is provided with a flange 14 to prevent raw materials from sliding onto the ground and causing pollution when they are poured onto the upper working platform 1, thus ensuring the hygiene of the raw materials.

[0035] A notch can be provided at a specific location on the flange 14 so that wastewater can flow out quickly from the notch when rinsing the countertop.

[0036] By setting a drop port 11 on the upper working platform, the scrap material after entering the drop port slides down the guide of the chute 13 onto the horizontal conveyor belt 6 arranged on the lower level, realizing the centralized processing of scrap material. It eliminates the need for a large amount of scrap material to be piled up on the upper working platform and then handled by separate transfer personnel, and it does not affect the trimming work of the trimming personnel, thus improving work efficiency and reducing labor costs.

[0037] It is understood that the workbench may include multiple sets of upper working platforms 1 and transverse conveyor belts 6. Each set of upper working platforms 1 and transverse conveyor belts 6 forms a whole. Multiple sets of transverse conveyor belts and upper working platforms are arranged side by side. It also includes longitudinal conveyor belts, which are located at the discharge end of the transverse conveyor belts. The longitudinal conveyor belts 7 are arranged perpendicular to the transverse conveyor belts 6 and span multiple sets of transverse conveyor belts 6, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the longitudinal conveyor belt 7 is located on one side of multiple transverse conveyor belts 6.

[0038] The longitudinal conveyor belt 7 must be lower than the transverse conveyor belt 6. When the scraps on multiple transverse conveyor belts 6 move laterally to the end, they can fall onto the longitudinal conveyor belt 7. The longitudinal conveyor belt 7 then collects and transfers the scraps that have fallen from the multiple transverse conveyor belts 6 to the receiving box 8 at the end of the longitudinal conveyor belt 7.

[0039] The longitudinal conveyor belt 7 is arranged in a similar structure to the transverse conveyor belt 6. The longitudinal conveyor belt 7 is arranged using a structure such as longitudinal beams, driving rollers, driven rollers, and motor drive. The bottom of the longitudinal beam can also be equipped with caster legs.

[0040] By setting a receiving box at the end of the longitudinal conveyor belt, it is possible to collect scrap materials from multiple transverse conveyor belts 6 using one set of longitudinal conveyor belts 7. Multiple sets of transverse conveyor belts 6 can be arranged as needed, and the length of the longitudinal conveyor belts 7 needs to be changed accordingly, or multiple sets of longitudinal conveyor belts 7 at different heights can be connected and transferred.

[0041] With the above-described structure, only one person is needed to monitor the receiving box 8 at the end of the longitudinal conveyor belt 7. The receiving box 8 can be placed on a trolley. When one receiving box 8 is almost full, another empty receiving box is pushed to the end of the longitudinal conveyor belt 7 to continue receiving material. This structural arrangement eliminates the need for transfer personnel to frequently walk to different upper work platforms 1 to clean up scraps, greatly reducing the workload of transfer personnel. Furthermore, the work of transfer personnel and trimming personnel does not interfere with each other, resulting in higher overall work efficiency.

[0042] In another preferred manner, such as Figure 6 As shown, the transverse conveyor belt and the upper working platform are a whole and can be set on both sides of the longitudinal conveyor belt. The scraps on the transverse conveyor belts on both sides of the longitudinal conveyor belt move to the longitudinal conveyor belt in the middle position, and the receiving box is also placed at the end of the longitudinal conveyor belt to receive the materials.

[0043] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 The structure shown differs only in that the transverse conveyor belt is located on one or both sides of the longitudinal conveyor belt. In practical applications, the layout can be adjusted according to the space size of the workshop. The transverse conveyor belt and the upper work platform are a whole and can be quickly adjusted in position by the casters on the support legs 5, effectively saving space and making the structural layout reasonable.

[0044] To adjust the height of the upper work platform 1, the support rod includes an outer sleeve and an inner tube. Multiple through holes are vertically arranged on the outer sleeve and the inner tube. The inner tube can extend and retract on the outer sleeve. The top of the inner tube is connected to the ground of the upper work platform 1. After the upper work platform 1 is raised and the relative positions of the outer sleeve and the inner tube are adjusted, they are locked by the through holes and the pin, thereby adjusting the height of the upper work platform 1. The specific height adjustment needs to be based on the convenience of the workers.

[0045] The above-described structural configuration in this embodiment improves the level of production automation, increases work efficiency, reduces the labor intensity of employees, effectively ensures the safety of employees during operation, enables continuous trimming work by trimmers, and effectively solves the limitations of low efficiency, safety and high labor intensity of manual cutting.

[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
