Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of roast chicken processing technology, specifically to an intelligent roast chicken processing production line. Background Technology

[0002] Roast chicken, a traditional delicacy widely loved by consumers, has always had its production process and efficiency as a key focus of the industry. Traditional roast chicken processing relies heavily on manual labor supplemented by simple machinery. This method is not only inefficient but also susceptible to human error, leading to inconsistent product quality. With the development of the food industry, the market has placed higher demands on the quantity and quality stability of roast chicken, prompting companies to seek more automated processing solutions.

[0003] While some automated roast chicken processing production lines have emerged in the existing technology, such as the automatic roast chicken production line described in patent number CN210695824U, which proposes an automatic roast chicken production line including a conveyor track, a honey spraying section, a frying section, and a braising section. The conveyor track sequentially passes through the honey spraying section, the frying section, and the braising section, with the chicken in the basket being sprayed with honey, fried, and braising in sequence. The braising section includes a braising tank with a heating device installed inside. The time the basket spends in the braising tank is equal to the time required for braising the chicken. A honey collection plate is installed between the honey spraying section and the frying section, an oil collection plate is installed between the frying section and the braising section, and a liquid collection plate is installed after the braising tank to collect liquids dripping from the basket at different stages, preventing the dripping liquid from contaminating the production workshop. And a production line system for making Fuliji roast chicken with patent number CN106261863A, which includes, in sequence, a slaughtering section, a cleaning section, a sugar spraying section, a frying section, a braising section, and a vacuum packaging section. The cleaning section consists of a rotary chain conveyor track and a spraying device and a cleaning device set on the rotary chain conveyor track; the sugar spraying section includes a unidirectional chain conveyor track and a spray tank set under the unidirectional chain conveyor track, and the spray tank is equipped with sugar spray nozzles; the braising section includes a movable basket and several braising pots set under the movable basket.

[0004] However, during the roast chicken processing production line, the roast chicken itself does not rotate, resulting in uneven processing of different parts during the coloring and heating process. This leads to insufficient product quality stability and makes it easy for uneven coloring or insufficient drying to occur in certain areas. Summary of the Invention

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an intelligent roast chicken processing production line, which solves the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an intelligent roasted chicken processing production line, comprising a support frame and a processing chamber, characterized in that: the support frame is configured as a closed ring structure with arc segments at both ends and a straight segment in the middle; a plurality of lifting frames are provided on the outer side wall of the support frame; the plurality of lifting frames are slidably mounted on the support frame by rollers; a support bearing is fixedly connected inside the lifting frame; a connecting rod is installed inside the support bearing; a lifting hook is installed inside the lower end of the connecting rod; a transmission gear is fixedly connected to the upper end of the lifting hook; and a transmission rack is fixedly connected to the lower side wall of the support frame. A transmission component is provided at the center of an arc segment in the support frame. The bottom of the transmission component is set as a support base. A rotating sleeve is fixedly connected to the center of the upper side wall of the support base. A rotating rod is rotatably connected inside the rotating sleeve. A rotating disk is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating rod. Several levers are fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the rotating disk.

[0007] Preferably, the transmission rack has the same shape as the support frame, and the centers of the two arc segments of the transmission rack are aligned with the centers of the arc segments of the two support frames respectively. The transmission rack meshes with the transmission gear. When the hoisting frame slides on the support frame, the transmission rack and the transmission gear rotate relative to each other, thereby driving the hoisting hook to rotate through the connecting rod. This greatly improves the drying, coloring, and heating effects of the roasted chicken hoisted on the hoisting hook during processing.

[0008] Preferably, each of the processing chambers has a matching groove on its left and right sides. There are several processing chambers, which are a combination of drying and dehydration chamber, maltose coloring chamber, drying and color fixing chamber, and braising chamber. The ring-shaped closed structure of the support frame allows the chicken to circulate among the drying and dehydration chamber, maltose coloring chamber, drying and color fixing chamber, and braising chamber during the roast chicken processing, thereby improving the roast chicken processing effect.

[0009] Preferably, the support base has a drive gear and a driven gear rotatably connected inside, and the drive gear and the driven gear mesh with each other. A drive motor is installed on the upper side wall of the support base. The output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the drive gear. The driven gear is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating rod. The drive motor can drive the driven gear to rotate through the drive gear. The driven gear can drive the turntable to rotate through the rotating rod, thereby driving the lever to move the lifting frame, and thus circulate the roasted chicken suspended on the lifting hook.

[0010] Preferably, the included angle between two adjacent levers is equal to the included angle between adjacent hoisting frames at the turning point of the support frame. Each hoisting frame has a transmission block fixedly connected inside. The transmission block cooperates with the levers so that multiple levers can simultaneously move the transmission block.

[0011] Preferably, each of the lifting frames has a connecting block fixedly connected to its lower side wall, and adjacent connecting blocks are fixedly connected by connecting strips, so that adjacent lifting frames are connected to each other while maintaining a certain distance.

[0012] Preferably, a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the support frame. The shape of the connecting plate is the same as that of the support frame, and the centers of the two arc segments of the connecting plate are aligned with the centers of the arc segments of the two support frames, respectively.

[0013] Preferably, the rotating sleeve and the rotating rod are rotatably connected, and the axis of the rotating sleeve passes through the center of an arc segment of the support frame.

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects This invention provides an intelligent processing production line for roast chicken, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention achieves automatic circulating transport of roasted chicken between different processing chambers by optimizing the transmission system and the design of the lifting frame. It reduces the downtime of the lifting frame during movement, enabling seamless connection and rapid transfer of roasted chicken in each processing stage, and effectively improving the processing efficiency of roasted chicken.

[0015] 2. The optimized design of the transmission system in this invention enables the lifting hook to rotate evenly, driving the roast chicken to rotate during processing. This allows the roast chicken to be processed from all angles during drying, coloring, and heating, resulting in more even coating and drying. For example, in the maltose coloring stage, all parts of the roast chicken can fully contact the maltose, forming a uniform color; in the drying and color-fixing stage, the moisture on the surface of the roast chicken can evaporate evenly, avoiding uneven coloring or insufficient drying in certain areas, effectively improving the stability of product quality.

[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] Example 1: like Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides an intelligent roast chicken processing production line, including a support frame 1. The support frame 1 serves as the main framework of the entire production line, adopting a closed ring structure with arc segments at both ends and a straight segment in the middle, providing a foundation for the installation and support of other components. Several lifting frames 2 are evenly slidably connected to its outer wall. These lifting frames slide along the support frame, driving the roast chicken to move in different processing areas. A transmission rack 101 is fixedly connected to the lower side wall of the support frame 1. This transmission rack meshes with the transmission gear 206 on the lifting frame 2. Through their cooperation, the lifting frames achieve stable sliding and precise positioning on the support frame, while ensuring that the roast chicken can rotate with the lifting hook 207. The module of both the transmission rack and the transmission gear is 2, the number of teeth on the transmission gear is 20, the number of teeth on the transmission rack is 300, the pressure angle is 20°, and the tooth width is 25mm. These parameters ensure stable meshing between the transmission rack and the transmission gear, meeting the precise transmission requirements of the lifting frames in the intelligent roast chicken processing production line.

[0020] A connecting plate 102 is fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the support frame 1. The connecting plate 102 has the same shape as the support frame 1, and the centers of the two arc-shaped segments of the connecting plate 102 are aligned with the centers of the arc-shaped segments of the two support frames 1, respectively. Rollers 201 are rotatably connected to the front and rear inner walls of the hoisting frame 2. These rollers are rolled in connection with the upper side wall of the support frame 1, making the hoisting frame slide more smoothly, reducing frictional wear, and improving the stability and reliability of the entire production line operation, thus ensuring the continuity of the roast chicken processing process.

[0021] The lifting frame 2 has a support bearing 203 fixedly connected inside. A connecting rod 205 is installed inside the support bearing 203, and a lifting hook 207 is installed at the lower end of the connecting rod. The lifting hook is used to suspend the roast chicken to be processed. A transmission gear 206 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the lifting hook 207. When the lifting frame slides on the support frame 1, the gear rotates along the rack, driving the lifting hook 207 to rotate via the connecting rod 205. This allows the roast chicken suspended on the hook to receive drying, coloring, and heating treatment from all directions during processing, effectively improving the processing effect, ensuring even heating of the roast chicken surface, consistent color, and better taste.

[0022] Each lifting frame 2 has a connecting block 204 fixedly connected to its lower side wall. Adjacent connecting blocks 204 are fixedly connected by connecting strips 2041. This connection method allows adjacent lifting frames to maintain a certain distance while being connected to each other, avoiding collisions and interference between the lifting frames and ensuring the smooth operation of the production line. At the same time, a transmission block 202 is also fixedly connected inside the lifting frame 2, which cooperates with the lever 402 in the transmission assembly 4 to ensure that the lifting frame can move accurately according to the predetermined path and speed, realizing the orderly transfer of roasted chicken between various processing chambers.

[0023] The transmission assembly 4 is installed at the center of an arc-shaped segment of the support frame 1. Its bottom is a support base 405, and a rotating sleeve 406 is fixedly connected to the center of its upper side wall. A rotating rod 403 is rotatably connected inside the sleeve, and a rotating disk 401 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating rod. Several levers 402 are fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the rotating disk. The drive motor 404 is installed on the upper side wall of the support base 405, and its output end is fixedly connected to the drive gear 4041. The drive gear meshes with the driven gear 4061, and the driven gear is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating rod 403. When the drive motor starts, the rotation of the rotating rod 403 is driven by the drive and driven gears, which in turn causes the rotating disk 401 and levers 402 to rotate. During rotation, the levers 402 cooperate with the transmission block 202 on the lifting frame 2, pushing the lifting frame to move along the support frame 1, realizing the cyclical transport of roasted chicken between different processing chambers, and ensuring the automation and continuity of the entire processing flow.

[0024] The included angle between two adjacent levers 402 is equal to the included angle between adjacent lifting frames 2 at the turning point of support frame 1. This design ensures that multiple levers can simultaneously move the transmission block 202, allowing the lifting frame to smoothly and accurately change direction at turns, avoiding jamming or deviation from the track during turns, and improving the stability and reliability of the production line operation. Meanwhile, the rotating sleeve 406 and the rotating rod 403 are rotatably connected, with the axis of the rotating sleeve 406 passing through the center of an arc segment of support frame 1, ensuring the transmission accuracy and stability of the transmission components and providing strong support for the efficient processing of roasted chicken.

[0025] Processing chamber 3 comprises several chambers, and is a combination of drying and dehydration chambers, maltose coloring chambers, drying and color-fixing chambers, and braising chambers. Each processing chamber has a matching groove 301 on its left and right walls. The groove is elliptical-rectangular in shape, matching the hanging hook for the roast chicken. The opening width is 25mm, and the depth is 40mm. The two side walls are vertical, and the bottom has rounded corners for easy processing and installation, while ensuring stable hanging of the roast chicken by the hook, guaranteeing the smooth passage of the roast chicken through processing chamber 2 during processing. Driven by the lifting frame 2, the roast chicken passes through these processing chambers sequentially, completing different processing steps. The drying and dehydration chamber is mainly used to remove moisture from the surface of the roast chicken to prevent moisture from affecting product quality during subsequent processing; the maltose coloring chamber sprays maltose and other coloring agents to make the surface of the roast chicken uniform in color, increasing the product's appearance appeal; the drying and color-fixing chamber further dries the roast chicken, allowing the coloring agent to adhere better to the surface of the roast chicken, while removing excess moisture and extending the product's shelf life; the braising chamber completes the cooking of the roast chicken through braising, achieving ideal taste and hygiene standards.

[0026] In this embodiment, multiple parallel transport tracks are designed, each corresponding to different process time requirements. For processes requiring longer times, such as braising, a slower dedicated track can be used; while for shorter processes, such as coloring, a faster track is used. By rationally allocating the flow of roasted chicken on different tracks, the time of each process is effectively matched. For example, two such circular closed tracks are set up: one for shorter processes such as drying and coloring, and the other for processes requiring longer times such as braising. After completing the previous process, the roasted chicken is transferred from the previous process track to the next process track manually or mechanically.

[0027] Example 2: Based on Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, the transmission component 4 uses a servo motor as the drive source, and the servo motor is connected to the drive gear 4041 via a coupling. The servo motor can provide more precise speed control and torque output, ensuring that the lever 402 moves the lifting frame 2 more accurately and smoothly, thereby making the rotation speed and movement speed of the roast chicken more uniform during processing and improving processing quality. At the same time, the servo motor, in conjunction with a reducer, can further enhance torque to cope with the expansion of the production line or the increase in load.

[0028] In the layout of processing chamber 3, this embodiment optimizes the functional sequence of each processing chamber. The positions of the drying and dehydration chamber and the maltose coloring chamber have been interchanged, so that the roast chicken passes through the drying and dehydration chamber before entering the maltose coloring chamber. This layout is more in line with the processing logic, because removing the moisture from the surface of the roast chicken first allows the maltose coloring agent to adhere more evenly to the surface of the roast chicken, forming a more uniform color. At the same time, it avoids excessive moisture affecting the coloring effect, and also helps to shorten the processing time of the subsequent drying and color-fixing chamber, further improving production efficiency.

[0029] Furthermore, the temperature control of the braising chamber employs a zoned design. The chamber is divided into two temperature zones: a lower front zone for preheating the chicken, and a higher rear zone for rapid cooking. This zoned temperature control allows for better control of the heating process, ensuring the chicken is thoroughly cooked inside while preventing the surface from burning, thus improving product quality.

[0030] The intelligent roast chicken processing production line of the present invention, through the above-mentioned improvements, not only increases production efficiency and product quality, but also enhances the reliability and scalability of the equipment, thus better meeting the needs of the modern food processing industry. Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
