Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of chicken feet processing equipment, and particularly relates to a chicken feet nail trimming machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, chicken feet are a popular ingredient among consumers. During processing, the nails on the chicken feet need to be removed to ensure hygiene and food safety, while also improving the product's appearance to meet the requirements of subsequent cooking and packaging processes. Currently, chicken feet nail trimming is mainly done manually or using specialized equipment.

[0003] Existing nail-trimming equipment mainly uses a mold and cutting components on the machine body. The mold has chicken claw-shaped grooves, including slots corresponding to the front and hind toes, with the outer sides of the grooves connected to the outside. Multiple cutting components are set corresponding to the slots of the front and hind toes. By placing the chicken claw in the groove, the nail is exposed and cut by the cutting components, thus trimming the nail. However, because the front toe of the chicken claw is relatively long, it is easy to get the nail stuck when placing it in, especially if the nail is deformed, which affects the nail-trimming efficiency.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this embodiment of the invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a chicken claw nail clipper, including a mold 100, a guide plate 210, a turntable 300, a cutter 400, a drive device 500, and a machine body 600.

[0029] The mold 100 has grooves 110 for laying chicken feet flat. The grooves 110 include three first grooves 111 corresponding to the three front toes of the chicken feet and two second grooves 112 corresponding to the hind toes. The ends of the first grooves 111 have first openings 1111 for the toenails of the front toes to extend out. There are two second grooves 112 symmetrically arranged about the middle first groove 111, corresponding to the hind toes of the left and right chicken feet, improving the adaptability and efficiency of the nail clipper. The ends of the second grooves 112 have second openings 1121 for the toenails of the hind toes to extend out. The first openings 1111 and 1121 are only for the toenails to extend out. That is, the dimensions of the first openings 1111 and 1121 are slightly larger than the toenails, and the ends of the front and hind toes rest against the inner walls of the corresponding openings.

[0030] Furthermore, the guide plate 210 is positioned above the first groove 111 and at one end of the first groove 111 near the outer side. The guide plate 210 is inclined downwards along the direction in which the toe extends. When the toe is inserted into the first groove 111, the guide plate 210 can press down on the toe nail. The guide plate 210 can guide the toe, making it easier for workers to place the chicken claw into the groove. This can effectively prevent the toe from getting stuck due to bending or deformation, thus improving work efficiency.

[0031] Furthermore, a turntable 300 is correspondingly provided on the outer side of both the first groove 111 and the second groove 112. The axis of the turntable 300 is vertically oriented, and at least one cutter 400 is provided on the turntable 300. The turntable 300 can rotate around its axis to drive the cutter 400 to rotate around its axis to cut the corresponding nail. Specifically, the drive device 500 synchronously drives the turntable 300 corresponding to the front and rear toes to rotate around its axis. More specifically, a boss 610 is provided at the upper end of the body 600, the mold 100 is fixed on the boss 610, and the connecting part 310 on the turntable 300 is rotatably connected to the boss 610. More specifically, a bearing seat is provided on the boss 610, and the connecting part 310 is rotatably connected to the bearing seat. During operation, the worker inserts the chicken claw's front and hind toes into the first groove 111 and second groove 112, respectively, and pushes the chicken claw so that the toenails of the front and hind toes extend from the first opening 1111 and second opening 1121, respectively. The drive device 500 synchronously drives all turntables 300 to rotate, causing the cutter 400 to rotate and cut the corresponding toenails. It should be noted that the cutter 400 is preferably configured as two, and the two cutters 400 are symmetrically arranged about the axis of the turntable 300 to improve work efficiency.

[0032] like Figure 2 and 4As shown, to facilitate the installation and stability of the cutter 400, a mounting recess 320 is provided on the side of the turntable 300. Specifically, the mounting recess 320 has a first side 321, a second side 322, and a bottom surface 323, wherein the first side 321 and the second side 322 are adjacent and arranged at a right angle. One side of the cutter 400 abuts against the first side 321, and the back of the cutter 400 abuts against the second side 322 to limit the position of the cutter 400. The lower end of the cutter 400 abuts against the bottom surface 323 to support the cutter 400. A fastener 420 passes through the front of the cutter 400 and is threadedly connected to the second side 322. The fastener 420 is preferably a bolt, which secures the cutter 400. Through the arrangement of the first side 321, the second side 322, the bottom surface 323, and the fastener 420, operators can quickly position, disassemble, and replace the cutter 400. The other side of the cutter 400 has a blade 410, which is exposed relative to the turntable 300. A gap is formed between the first opening 1111 and the second opening 1121 and the corresponding blade 410 so that the blade 410 can cut the nail.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, a first groove 1112 communicating with the first opening 1111 is provided on the inner bottom wall of the first groove 111. A first inclined wall 1113 is formed at the connection between the first groove 1112 and the first groove 111. The first inclined wall 1113 corresponds to the guide plate 210, and a downwardly inclined first channel 1114 is formed between the two. The first channel 1114 has a guiding function, which can make the end joint of the front toe bend downward when pushing the chicken claw, so that the front toe nail stands up and extends out from the first opening 1111, so that the cutter 400 can cut more cleanly. Furthermore, the lower end of the guide plate 210 extends horizontally outward to form a first horizontal wall 220 above the first groove 1112. A second channel is formed between the first horizontal wall 220 and the first groove 1112, that is, the bent front toe is confined in the second channel to facilitate the cutting of the nail.

[0034] It should be noted that the inner bottom wall of the second groove 112 is provided with a second groove 1122 that communicates with the second opening 1121. A second inclined wall 1123 is formed at the connection between the second groove 1122 and the second groove 112. The hind toe can bend through the cooperation of the second inclined wall 1123 and the second groove 1122, so that the hind toe nail stands up and extends out from the second opening 1121, which is conducive to cutting the hind toe nail.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the upper end of the guide plate 210 extends upward along its inclined direction, and its extended end is exposed relative to the upper end of the first inclined wall 1113, so as to guide the material during the initial feeding and avoid the toenail getting stuck.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and 3 As shown, the chicken claw clipper is also equipped with a top plate 200, which covers the upper end of the mold 100 and is fixed to the mold 100 by bolts. The outer contour of the top plate 200 is the same as the outer contour of the mold 100. The top plate 200 has a first through hole 230 corresponding to the shape of the groove 110 to facilitate the placement of chicken claws. A guide plate 210 is formed on the top plate 200. The two sides of the guide plate 210 can form a perimeter integrated with the top plate 200 to further prevent jamming when inserting the front toe.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, in order for the drive device 500 to synchronously drive all turntables 300 to rotate, specifically, the drive device 500 includes a synchronous pulley 510, a synchronous belt 520, and a motor 530. The lower end of the turntable 300 extends downward to form a connecting part 310 coaxially arranged with the turntable 300. The lower end of the connecting part 310 is provided with a synchronous pulley 510. The synchronous belt 520 is driven to drive the synchronous pulley 510 on each turntable 300. The shaft of the motor 530 is provided with a drive pulley 540. The drive pulley 540 is driven to drive the synchronous belt 520, that is, the motor 530 drives the drive pulley 540 to drive the synchronous belt 520 to drive all turntables 300 to rotate synchronously.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the chicken claw nail clipper is also equipped with a protective cover 700. The protective cover 700 is adapted to the boss 610 and hinged to the machine body 600, that is, the protective cover 700 can be flipped up and down. A cavity 710 is formed on the protective cover 700. When the protective cover 700 is on the machine body 600, the boss 610, the mold 100 and the turntable 300 can be accommodated in the cavity 710. The protective cover 700 is provided with a second through hole 720 with the same shape as the groove 110, so as to protect against safety accidents and prevent contaminants from falling onto the mold 100 and the turntable 300, which is conducive to cleaning.

[0039] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 As shown, the boss 610 has two vertically arranged screws 611 along its width direction. The protective cover 700 has a corresponding strip hole 740. When the protective cover 700 is placed on the body 600, the screws 611 can pass through the strip hole 740. Furthermore, the protective cover 700 can be fixed by screwing the knob 730 onto the screws 611 to prevent the protective cover 700 from being opened accidentally, thereby further improving safety.

[0040] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
