Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of poultry skin and meat separation equipment, specifically to an automated poultry skin and meat separation device and its separation method. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the skin-meat separation process in poultry slaughtering and processing still lacks mature automated equipment. The industry mostly relies on manual tearing or cutting with knives to complete this process. However, this method has the following drawbacks: Firstly, manual tearing is inefficient, requiring a large number of operators for large-scale processing. Prolonged repetitive work can lead to operator fatigue, further reducing efficiency and affecting consistency. Secondly, when using knives, operators must hold the knives during separation, increasing the risk of hand injuries and posing a significant safety hazard. Furthermore, the large number of operators, the potential for accidents, and the insufficient capacity due to inefficiency all increase labor, safety, and operational costs, making it difficult to meet the actual production needs of large-scale, batch poultry processing and failing to satisfy the demands for efficient, safe, and low-cost processing. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automated poultry skin and meat separation device and method, which can realize the automated separation of poultry skin and meat. Compared with traditional manual operation, it reduces the labor intensity and cost, and improves efficiency and production safety.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: An automated poultry skin-meat separation device includes a frame and a horizontally arranged conveying unit on it. A separation unit is provided on one side of the conveying unit. The conveying unit is used to convey carcasses to be separated from their skin and meat, and the separation unit is used to separate the skin and meat from the carcasses conveyed by the conveying unit.

[0005] Specifically, the conveying unit includes a drive source and a transmission mechanism driven by it. Several clamping components are spaced apart on the transmission mechanism. Each clamping component includes a receiving plate and a clamping plate that is vertically and elastically arranged above it. A lifting member is provided on one side of the transmission mechanism. The clamping plate is configured to be lifted when passing the lifting member and elastically pressed against the receiving plate after disengaging from the lifting member.

[0006] The separation unit includes a drive mechanism and a connecting seat that is driven by the mechanism to reciprocate along a straight line. The connecting seat is provided with a separation claw. The end of the separation claw away from the connecting seat is bent and has a hook that can be inserted into the skin or meat of the carcass. The vertical plane where the separation claw is located is always parallel or coincident with the vertical plane where the moving trajectory of the connecting seat is located. A first receiving device is provided below the hook corresponding to the separation unit.

[0007] Furthermore, the end of the separation unit is also provided with a material ejector that allows the clamping plate to be lifted, and a second material receiving device is provided below the material ejector.

[0008] As one implementation method, both the lifting component and the ejector component are rod-shaped structures, and the upper end of the clamping plate is provided with a contact component, which can contact and cooperate with the lifting component and the ejector component in sequence.

[0009] Furthermore, a pressing component is provided on the upper side of the transmission mechanism corresponding to the position of the separation unit. The pressing component is configured to cooperate with the clamping plate and drive the clamping plate to press down and tighten the receiving plate.

[0010] Preferably, the pressing member is vertically elastically arranged and corresponds one-to-one with each clamping plate.

[0011] To facilitate the separation of skin and meat from poultry carcasses, clamping plates are positioned at the edges of receiving plates, and the surface of the clamping plates is perpendicular to the receiving plates.

[0012] Furthermore, the transmission mechanism is a chain or belt drive, and its lower side is provided with a support rod that can support the receiving plate. The edge of the receiving plate is a trapezoidal structure with the short side extending out of the support rod.

[0013] Furthermore, the inner side of the transmission mechanism is also equipped with a guide rod that can guide the receiving plate.

[0014] As one implementation method, a feeding component is horizontally provided on one side of the moving path of the transmission mechanism, and the upper feeding surface of the feeding component is not lower than the upper surface of the receiving plate.

[0015] Preferably, the transmission mechanism is ring-shaped, and the separation unit and the feeding component are arranged in parallel on opposite sides of the transmission mechanism.

[0016] A separation method using the above-described automated poultry skin and meat separation equipment includes the following steps: S1: Start the transmission mechanism; S2: Separation of skin and flesh from poultry carcasses, specifically including: S2.1: Install the carcass: The carcass to be separated is laid flat on the loading unit with the skin or meat facing upwards. The carcass is manually pushed so that the edge of the skin or meat slides to the receiving plate. After being elastically pressed by the clamping plate, it is separated from the loading unit and suspended and conveyed by the transmission mechanism. S2.2: Separation of skin and flesh, specifically including: S2.2.1: When the suspended carcass moves with the transmission mechanism to the separation position of the separation unit, the control drive mechanism drives the connecting seat to move the separation claw in a straight line, the hook head inserts into the skin or meat of the carcass and tears it off, and the torn carcass falls into the first receiving device by its own gravity. S2.2.2: The remaining part of the carcass continues to be conveyed by the transmission mechanism. When it passes the unloading part, the clamping plate is lifted and the remaining part of the carcass falls into the second receiving device by its own gravity.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are that, through the overall coordination of the conveying unit, the separation unit, the receiving part, and the unloading part, the automatic clamping, continuous conveying, mechanized skin and meat tearing and separation, and automatic unloading and collection of poultry carcasses are realized. The entire process does not require manual tearing or hand-held knife operation, which effectively improves the efficiency and consistency of skin and meat separation, reduces the intensity of manual labor, avoids the safety risk of knife injury, and reduces labor input and production and operation costs, and can meet the needs of large-scale and batch poultry slaughtering and processing production.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] Example 1 Combination Figures 1-4This embodiment provides an automated poultry skin-meat separation device, including a frame 1 and a horizontally arranged conveying unit 2 on it. A separation unit 4 is provided on one side of the conveying unit 2. The conveying unit 2 is used to continuously convey poultry carcasses to be separated from their skin and meat. The separation unit 4 is used to automatically tear and separate the skin and meat of the conveyed carcasses, thereby replacing the traditional manual tearing and manual cutting operations with the help of knives. This fundamentally solves the problems of low efficiency, poor consistency, easy fatigue and poor safety of knife operation of manual labor, and meets the needs of large-scale and batch poultry processing.

[0020] Specifically, the conveying unit 2 includes a drive source and a transmission mechanism 21 driven by it. Several clamping components 22 are arranged at intervals on the transmission mechanism 21. Each clamping component 22 includes a receiving plate 221 and a clamping plate 223 vertically and elastically arranged above it. A lifting member 23 is provided on one side of the transmission mechanism 21. The clamping plate 223 can be lifted upward when passing the lifting member 23, so that the clamping part of the poultry carcass can be sent into the clamping position. After disengaging from the lifting member 23, it relies on the elastic force to press down against the receiving plate 221 to achieve stable clamping of the carcass and ensure that the subsequent conveying and separation process is reliable.

[0021] Combination Figure 5 A bracket 222 is detachably installed on the upper middle part of the receiving plate 221. The bracket 222 is a U-shaped structure with its opening facing the receiving plate 221. The clamping plate 223 is installed on one side of the bracket 222 via a linear guide rail 411. A horizontal plate extends from the side of the clamping plate 223 toward the bracket 222. A compression spring is vertically connected between the horizontal plate and the bracket 222. In order to improve the stability of the vertical movement of the clamping plate 223, the clamping plate 223 has a cross-shaped structure. The two sides of the horizontal plate in the middle are connected to the bracket 222 via a linear guide rail 411. The compression spring is located between the two linear guide rails 411 and is symmetrically arranged in two.

[0022] The separation unit 4 includes a drive mechanism 41 and a connecting seat 42 driven by the drive mechanism to reciprocate along a straight line. A separation claw 43 is installed on the connecting seat 42. The end of the separation claw 43 away from the connecting seat 42 is bent to form a hook 432 that can be inserted into the skin or flesh of the carcass. The vertical plane of the separation claw 43 and the vertical plane of the moving trajectory of the connecting seat 42 are always kept parallel or coincident, ensuring that the movement trajectory of the hook 432 is stable and the tearing action is accurate and reliable.

[0023] Specifically combined Figure 6 For example, the separating claw 43 includes an extension arm 431 with a long strip plate-like structure and an L-shaped cross-section to improve the bending resistance of the extension arm 431. One end of the L-shaped cross-section of the extension arm 431 is connected to a hook head 432, and the other end away from the hook head 432 is connected to a connecting seat 42.

[0024] The hook head 432 includes a connecting plate integrally formed with the extension arm 431 and a steel needle disposed at the end of the connecting plate and perpendicular to the extension arm 431. The steel needle has a columnar structure, and one end of it facing away from the plane of the extension arm 431 has a tapered tip. By inserting the steel needle into the flesh or skin, a stable grip can be achieved, ensuring stable force application when separating the flesh and skin.

[0025] Combination Figure 7 To accommodate different poultry breeds, sizes, and varying degrees of skin-meat bonding, the vertical plane of the connecting seat 42's movement path intersects the plane of the receiving plate 221, and the angle between them is adjustable. This allows for adjustment of the angle at which the hook 432 inserts into the meat or skin and separates it, enabling smoother insertion and separation of the meat from the skin. This is particularly beneficial for poultry carcasses with firm meat and a tight skin-meat bond, effectively reducing the difficulty of tearing the meat.

[0026] Specifically, the drive mechanism 41 adopts a linear module, which consists of a guide rail 411, a slider 412 and a drive device, and the connecting seat 42 is located on the slider 412 of the linear module.

[0027] One way to make the included angle adjustable is to set the moving trajectory of the connecting seat 42 at an angle relative to the plane where the receiving plate 221 is located, that is, to set the guide rail 411 at an angle relative to the plane where the receiving plate 221 is located. One end of the guide rail 411 is rotatably connected to the frame 1 through the rotating shaft 44. The frame 1 is also provided with an adjusting rod 45, and the guide rail 411 can be rotated around the rotating shaft 44 by adjusting the adjusting rod 45.

[0028] Another implementation is that the connecting seat 42 includes a support plate 422, the middle part of the extension arm 431 is rotatably connected to the support plate 422, and the end opposite to the hook head 432 is movably connected to the support plate 422. In a specific implementation, the support plate 422 is provided with an arc-shaped adjustment groove, the middle part of the extension arm 431 is rotatably connected to the support plate 422 through a rotating shaft, and the end opposite to the hook head 432 is provided with an adjustment rod 45 that can slide in the adjustment groove. The center of the arc-shaped adjustment groove is on the rotation axis 44 of the rotating shaft. By adjusting the position of the adjustment rod 45 in the arc-shaped adjustment groove, the included angle can be adjusted.

[0029] Furthermore, the connecting seat 42 also includes a mounting plate 421, which is connected to the slider 412 of the linear module. The support plate 422 is disposed on the mounting plate 421. The mounting plate 421 is also provided with a rectangular limiting groove. The extension arm 431 passes through the limiting groove. The limiting groove is preferably elongated. There is a gap between the extension arm 431 and the limiting groove. The limiting groove can limit and guide the extension arm 431, preventing the extension arm 431 from deviating or shaking during the meat tearing operation, thus ensuring the stability of the operation. At the same time, it can limit the angle adjustment range of the extension arm 431, improving the safety and reliability of the device.

[0030] To enhance the structural strength and rigidity of the mounting plate 421, at least one side of the mounting plate 421 is bent outward to form a reinforcing edge perpendicular to the body of the mounting plate 421, thereby improving the structural strength of the mounting plate 421.

[0031] In addition, two support plates 422 are provided on the connecting seat 42 on both sides of the guide rail 411. Each support plate 422 is equipped with a hook, and the two hooks are symmetrically arranged relative to the guide rail 411. Both hook heads 432 face the meat-shredding operation side. This design allows the two hooks to simultaneously separate two poultry carcasses, improving meat-shredding efficiency and further adapting to the needs of mass production. At the same time, the symmetrical arrangement allows the connecting seat 42 to be evenly stressed during reciprocating movement, avoiding equipment shaking or deviation due to unilateral stress, and improving the stability of the device operation.

[0032] Combination Figure 2 Below the separation unit 4, corresponding to the hook 432, there is a first receiving device 7, which is used to collect the torn skin and meat or meat parts. The first receiving device 7 is a long strip set below the separation unit 4, such as a belt conveyor. On the one hand, it can receive the torn skin and meat parts, and on the other hand, it can transport them to the next process, thus making it suitable for automated operation scenarios.

[0033] The end of the separation unit 4 is also provided with a material ejector 25 that can lift the clamping plate 223 upward. Below the material ejector 25 is a second material receiving device for collecting the remaining carcass after separation, so as to realize automatic collection of skin and meat classification.

[0034] The lifting component 23 and the unloading component 25 both adopt a rod-shaped structure. The upper end of the clamping plate 223 is provided with a contact component. The contact component can contact and cooperate with the lifting component 23 and the unloading component 25 in turn during the conveying process. The clamping plate 223 is automatically lifted and reset by mechanical cooperation. No additional driving components are required. The structure is simple, the operation is stable, and the failure rate is low.

[0035] The upper side of the transmission mechanism 21 is also provided with a pressing member 24 corresponding to the position of the separation unit 4. The pressing member 24 can cooperate with the clamping plate 223 to further drive the clamping plate 223 to press down on the receiving plate 221, effectively preventing the carcass from shifting or falling off when the separating claw 43 tears the skin and meat, and improving the stability of the clamping component 22 and the tearing accuracy of the separating claw 43 during the separation operation.

[0036] The pressing member 24 is vertically elastic and there are multiple members corresponding to each clamping plate 223. Its vertical elasticity can adapt to the clamping requirements of poultry carcasses of different thicknesses, so that the clamping force is uniform and moderate, which can prevent the carcass from being damaged by pressure and ensure that the clamping is firm and reliable.

[0037] Specifically, the upper end of the clamping plate 223 extends upward to the upper side of the bracket 222. The contact element is an upper lifting wheel 224 rotatably mounted on the upper end of the clamping plate 223. The upper lifting wheel 224 is a roller or a bearing. During the conveying process, it rolls and cooperates with the lifting member 23, the pressing member 24, and the unloading member 25 in sequence. The rotation axis 44 of the upper lifting wheel 224 is parallel to the conveying plane of the clamping plate 223. Both the lifting member 23 and the unloading member 25 are rectangular rod structures. Both the lifting member 23 and the unloading member 25 include horizontal rod sections. The upper horizontal surface of the lifting member 23 and the unloading member 25 is a working surface. Both ends of the horizontal working surface are guide slopes that extend outward from the horizontal working surface toward the opposite side. These guide the upper lifting wheel 224 to smoothly enter or leave the working surface, avoiding jamming and impact, reducing component wear, and improving the stability of equipment operation.

[0038] Combination Figure 5 To facilitate the tearing of meat by the separating claw 43, the clamping plate 223 is positioned at the edge of the receiving plate 221, allowing the carcass to be transported in a suspended state, which facilitates the tearing of meat by the separating claw 43. The surface of the clamping plate 223 is perpendicular to the receiving plate 221, so as to form a stable positioning clamp on the edge of the poultry carcass. The two work together to facilitate the precise insertion of the separating claw 43 and complete the tearing action, while reducing the compression and deformation of the main body of the carcass and ensuring the integrity of the product after separation.

[0039] The transmission mechanism 21 adopts a chain drive or belt drive form, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 5 Taking chain drive as an example, the receiving plate 221 is installed on the chain link. The lower side of the receiving plate 221 is provided with a support rod 27 for supporting the receiving plate 221. The receiving plate 221 is configured as a trapezoidal structure with the short side extending out of the support rod 27. While ensuring the strength of the conveying support, the trapezoidal structure allows the poultry material to hang naturally, which is convenient for the separating claw 43 to perform the skin and meat separation operation.

[0040] The inner side of the transmission mechanism 21 is also provided with a guide rod 26 for moving the receiving plate 221, so as to prevent the receiving plate 221 from shaking, swaying or misaligning during the conveying process, ensuring that the clamping assembly 22 runs stably along the preset path, and improving the alignment accuracy and consistency of the skin and meat separation.

[0041] Specifically, the guide rod 26 is a rectangular strip structure. The receiving plate 221 is on the side opposite to the clamping part of the bracket 222. A guide wheel 225 is rotatably provided to roll with the guide rod 26. The rotation axis 44 of the guide wheel 225 is perpendicular to the conveying plane. Two guide wheels 225 are arranged opposite each other and are located on both sides of the lifting wheel 224. The guide wheels 225 and the lifting wheel 224 together limit the clamping assembly 22, prevent the clamping assembly 22 from swaying, and distribute the force to improve the service life of the structure.

[0042] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 The transmission mechanism 21 has a feeding component 3 horizontally positioned on one side of its moving path. The feeding surface of the feeding component 3 is not lower than the upper side of the receiving plate 221, which facilitates the operator to smoothly and quickly push the poultry carcass to the receiving plate 221 for clamping, thereby improving feeding smoothness and work efficiency.

[0043] The feeding component 3 is a horizontal plate or a horizontal conveyor belt. In this embodiment, a horizontal conveyor belt is preferred, which can continuously transport the material to be separated to the first end of the transmission mechanism 21. Preferably, the conveyor belt and the transmission mechanism 21 are synchronously transported.

[0044] To optimize equipment layout and reduce space occupation, the transmission mechanism 21 is arranged in a ring shape. The separation unit 4 and the feeding component 3 are arranged in parallel on opposite sides of the transmission mechanism 21, which can form a feeding, separation and unloading cycle operation mode, further improving the continuous processing capacity of the equipment.

[0045] In some cases, a material pre-processing mechanism is also provided at the beginning of the conveyor belt. This material pre-processing mechanism includes a horizontal board 5 spanning the upper side of the beginning of the conveyor belt. Operators can perform material pre-processing such as decomposition on the board 5. A flip panel 6 is also provided on one side of the board 5. A baffle plate is provided on the side of the flip panel 6 away from the conveying direction. The lower outlet is located above the conveyor belt. The decomposed carcass material can slide smoothly down the flip panel 6 onto the conveyor belt.

[0046] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 4The flip panel 6 is a vertical plate located outside the cutting board 5. Its lower end is bent towards the upper side of the conveyor belt and tilted towards the middle of the upper side of the conveyor belt. When separating the skin and meat of the duck breast, the wing root can be separated on the cutting board 5 with the meat facing down. After separating the wing root, the part slides down the flip panel 6 and then flips over after passing the bend, so that the skin faces down into the upper side of the conveyor belt. Then the skin of the duck breast can slide into the receiving plate 221 and be held in place by the clamping plate 223. Then it is conveyed and finally the meat is torn off by the separating claw 43 to complete the skin and meat separation operation.

[0047] The automated poultry skin and meat separation equipment described in this embodiment completely replaces manual operation through a fully automated process of conveying, clamping, separating, receiving, and unloading materials. This significantly reduces the intensity of manual labor and labor costs, avoids the safety hazards caused by cutting tools, improves processing efficiency and product consistency, effectively controls enterprise production and operating costs, and meets the enterprise's demand for efficient, safe, and low-cost large-scale processing.

[0048] This embodiment also provides a separation method using the above-mentioned automated poultry skin and meat separation equipment, which specifically includes the following steps: S1: Start the transmission mechanism 21 to make the clamping assembly 22 move cyclically along the preset path; S2: Separation of skin and flesh from poultry carcasses, specifically including: S2.1: Install the carcass: Lay the carcass to be separated flat on the feeding unit 3 with the skin or meat facing up. Push the carcass manually or with a pushing device so that the skin or meat edge of the carcass slides smoothly onto the receiving plate 221. The clamping plate 223 holds the carcass edge tightly and fixes it under the action of elasticity. Then the carcass is separated from the feeding unit 3 with the clamping assembly 22 and hangs in a suspended state and is continuously conveyed by the transmission mechanism 21. S2.2: Separation of skin and flesh, specifically including: S2.2.1: When the suspended carcass moves to the separation position of the separation unit 4 with the transmission mechanism 21, the drive mechanism 41 drives the connecting seat 42 to drive the separation claw 43 to move in a straight line. The hook head 432 inserts into the skin or meat of the carcass and quickly tears it off. The torn skin and meat fall into the first receiving device 7 below by its own gravity to complete the collection. S2.2.2: After the skin and meat are separated, the remaining part of the carcass continues to be conveyed forward by the transmission mechanism 21. When it moves to the position of the unloading part 25, the clamping plate 223 is lifted upward under the action of contact cooperation, releasing the clamping of the remaining part of the carcass, allowing it to fall into the second receiving device by its own gravity, thus completing the entire automated skin and meat separation process.

[0049] The aforementioned automated poultry skin-meat separation equipment is particularly suitable for fixing the skin and tearing off the meat from the breast of poultry such as chickens, ducks, and geese. Its application is not limited to tearing meat; it can also be flexibly used to fix the meat and tear off the poultry skin according to processing needs. The meat includes pure meat and bone-in meat, making the equipment highly versatile. In addition, the clamping component can be set to be fixed, and automatic skin-meat separation can be achieved by moving the separation unit relative to the clamping component. It can meet the separation needs of multiple scenarios and multiple parts in poultry slaughtering and processing.
