Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of chicken feet processing, and more particularly to an intelligent conveying device for processing deboned chicken feet. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing of chicken feet, cleaning and dehydration are crucial pre-treatment steps. Due to the complex structure of chicken feet, with multiple toenails and deep folds, they easily trap blood and yellow skin, making them difficult to clean.

[0003] Existing chicken feet cleaning devices typically employ the following methods: Simple spray method: This method involves directly rinsing the surface of the chicken feet with high-pressure water. While it can remove surface dust, it is not very effective at removing dirt hidden deep within the nail crevices and is prone to wasting water.

[0004] Roller friction method: This method uses the rotation of a roller to cause the chicken feet to rub against each other. This method has a strong cleaning ability, but the mechanical friction can easily damage the skin of the chicken feet, affecting the product's appearance and subsequent yield.

[0005] Conventional bubble cleaning: Air is continuously blown into the water by a blower to create bubbles. While the bursting of bubbles can have a cleaning effect, traditional bubbling methods require a separate blower system, which is costly. Furthermore, the airflow is often continuous and constant, resulting in limited impact force and making it difficult to generate the instantaneous high-pressure bursting effect to shake off stubborn stains. In addition, chicken claw fragments tend to settle and stick to the bottom, making them difficult to clean.

[0006] Therefore, existing equipment generally suffers from problems such as incomplete cleaning (especially in the deep spaces between toes), easy mechanical damage, complex equipment structure (requiring additional fans), and inconvenience in transferring materials after cleaning. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.

[0008] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned intelligent conveying devices for deboned chicken feet processing, the present invention is proposed.

[0009] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent conveying device for processing deboned chicken feet, which aims to improve the processing efficiency of chicken feet.

[0010] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a transport frame, a transport plate disposed on one side of the transport frame, a water filter hole being opened through the surface of the transport plate, a first motor fixedly disposed on one side of the transport frame, and a cam disposed at the output end of the first motor.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the intelligent conveying device for processing deboned chicken feet according to the present invention, the top of the conveying frame is provided with a first cylinder, and a telescopic rod is slidably connected to the output end of the first cylinder. A second cylinder is also provided on one side of the conveying frame.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the intelligent conveying device for processing deboned chicken feet according to the present invention, a processing barrel is provided on one side of the second cylinder, a second motor is fixedly provided on one side of the processing barrel, a connecting member is connected to one side of the second motor, and a striking member is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting member.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the intelligent conveying device for processing deboned chicken feet according to the present invention, the connector has a small round hole and a large round hole on one side, and the round holes are arranged in a ring shape.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the intelligent conveying device for processing deboned chicken feet according to the present invention, a scraper is provided on the outer side of the connector, the scraper is set at a certain angle, and a number of water-permeable holes are opened on the surface of the scraper.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the intelligent conveying device for processing deboned chicken feet according to the present invention, the top of the processing barrel is provided with a feed inlet, the upper inside of the processing barrel is provided with a nozzle, and the lower inside of the processing barrel is provided with an air outlet.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of the intelligent conveying device for processing deboned chicken feet according to the present invention, wherein: the interior of another set of the processing barrels is provided with connecting small round rods and connecting large round rods, and multiple sets of connecting small round rods are provided and distributed in a circular pattern.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of the intelligent conveying device for processing deboned chicken feet according to the present invention, wherein: a compression member is provided on one side of the striking member, a connecting rod is connected to the bottom of the compression member, a telescopic spring is provided on the outside of the connecting rod, an air inlet and a compression chamber connected thereto are provided inside the processing barrel, and an air outlet control member is connected to one side of the compression chamber.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of the intelligent conveying device for processing deboned chicken feet according to the present invention, wherein: a blocking ball is provided inside the air outlet control component, a long rod is provided on one side of the blocking ball, a return spring is provided on the outside of the long rod, and a limiting ring is sleeved on the outside of the long rod.

[0019] As a preferred embodiment of the intelligent conveying device for processing deboned chicken feet according to the present invention, a third motor is provided on the top of the conveying frame, a lead screw is connected to one side of the third motor, and a protective cover is connected to the outside of the lead screw.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention: This invention solves the drawback of traditional aeration requiring an additional blower through ingenious mechanical structure linkage. During the rotation of the treatment tank, the striking component periodically strikes the compression component, converting mechanical energy into air pressure energy. When the compression component is pressed down to the critical point, the high-pressure gas in the compression chamber instantly breaks through the blockage of the obstruction ball and is ejected at high speed through the air outlet. This instantaneous release of airflow has extremely high velocity, generating strong aeration in the water tank at the bottom of the treatment tank. The local impact force generated when the bubbles burst continuously acts on the surface of the chicken feet, especially penetrating into dead corners such as nail crevices, "shaking" off stubborn dirt, and the cleaning effect is far superior to traditional continuous and stable bubbling. At the same time, the airflow can effectively prevent chicken foot debris from settling and sticking to the bottom, keeping the water clean. Integrating "spray rinsing - soaking and tumbling - aeration" into one, the cleaning is thorough and has a low damage rate: This solution organically combines multiple cleaning methods to form a multi-dimensional cleaning. The nozzles rinse away surface blood; the scraper continuously flips the chicken feet during rotation, ensuring each surface is evenly cleaned and soaked; combined with bottom aeration, deep cleaning from surface to crevices is achieved. The entire process primarily uses water jets and air bursts, avoiding rigid mechanical compression, ensuring high cleanliness while significantly reducing chicken foot breakage and maintaining product integrity. The multi-functional integrated structure enables a fully automated process of cleaning, dehydration, and discharge at the same station: this invention breaks the limitation of traditional equipment requiring multiple machines. Cleaning and drainage separation: The first cylinder enables rapid separation and repositioning of the treatment tank and water tank, facilitating wastewater replacement and ensuring hygiene during the cleaning process. Automatic opening and closing discharge: The second cylinder opens and closes the treatment tank, and the scraper's special angle design allows for precise and smooth discharge of the cleaned chicken feet from the bottom center, eliminating the need for manual retrieval and significantly improving production efficiency. Integrated vibration conveying and solid-liquid separation simplify the post-processing steps: the ingeniously designed transport plate for receiving the chicken feet... Automatic conveying and draining: A first motor drives a cam in conjunction with a spring to vibrate the conveyor plate. Combined with the inclined design of the plate, the chicken feet are automatically conveyed to one side during the vibration, while surface moisture is quickly drained through the filter holes. This achieves preliminary solid-liquid separation during the conveying process, creating favorable conditions for subsequent deep dehydration and reducing material handling steps. In summary, this invention has a compact structure and ingenious design, integrating multiple functions such as cleaning, aeration, conveying, and draining. It has the advantages of good cleaning effect, minimal material damage, high degree of automation, and low energy consumption. Attached Figure Description

[0031] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0033] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0034] Secondly, the present invention is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When detailing the embodiments of the present invention, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views illustrating the device structure may be partially enlarged, not according to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, actual fabrication should include three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth.

[0035] Reference Figures 1-10 The present invention provides an embodiment of an intelligent conveying device for processing deboned chicken feet: Specifically, the system includes a transport frame 1, a transport plate 2 mounted on one side of the transport frame 1, a filter hole 21 extending through the surface of the transport plate 2, a first motor 3 fixedly mounted on one side of the transport frame 1, and a cam 31 mounted on the output end of the first motor 3. A first cylinder 4 is mounted on the top of the transport frame 1, and a telescopic rod 41 is slidably connected to the output end of the first cylinder 4. A second cylinder 5 is also mounted on one side of the transport frame 1. A processing tank 6 is mounted on one side of the second cylinder 5, and a second motor 61 is fixedly mounted on one side of the processing tank 6. A connector 62 is connected to one side of the second motor 61, and a striking element 622 is fixedly connected to one side of the connector 62. A small round hole 63 and a large round hole 64 are provided on one side of the connector 62, with several round holes 63 arranged in a ring. A scraper 65 is mounted on the outer side of the connector 62, angled at a certain angle, and has several water-permeable holes on its surface. The top of the processing tank 6 is provided with a feed inlet 66, the upper inside of the processing tank 6 is provided with a nozzle 67, and the lower inside of the processing tank 6 is provided with an air outlet 68. Another set of processing tanks 6 has connecting small round rods 69 and connecting large round rods 60 inside, with multiple sets of connecting small round rods 69 arranged circumferentially. A compression member 7 is provided on one side of the striking member 622, and a connecting rod 71 is connected to the bottom of the compression member 7. A telescopic spring 72 is provided on the outer side of the connecting rod 71. The processing tank 6 has an air inlet 73 and a compression chamber 74 connected to it. An air outlet control member 75 is connected to one side of the compression chamber 74. A blocking ball 76 is provided inside the air outlet control member 75, a long rod 77 is provided on one side of the blocking ball 76, a return spring 78 is provided on the outer side of the long rod 77, and a limiting ring 79 is sleeved on the outer side of the long rod 77. A third motor 8 is installed on the top of the transport frame 1. A lead screw 81 is connected to one side of the third motor 8, and a protective cover 82 is connected to the outside of the lead screw 81.

[0036] Furthermore, the deboned chicken feet are fed into the processing tank 6 through the feed inlet 66. The screw 81 is driven to rotate by the third motor 8, which causes the protective cover 82 to move and block the feed inlet 66. The second motor 61 is started, which drives the connecting piece 62 to rotate, thereby causing the scraper 65 and the striking piece 622 to rotate. The scraper 65 can circulate and transport the chicken feet. Preferably, nozzle 67 can rinse the chicken feet on the processing tank 6 to remove the blood. Preferably, the striking component 622 continuously strikes the compression component 7, causing the compression component 7 to move downwards and compress the telescopic spring 72. This forces the gas in the compression chamber 74 to flow into the air outlet control component 75. When the compression component 7 is pressed down to a certain extent, the pressure reaches a certain level, thus squeezing the blocking ball 76. The blocking ball 76 then stops blocking the air passage, allowing the airflow to instantly flow out at a relatively high speed to the air outlet 68. Since the bottom of the treatment tank 6 has a water tank containing a certain amount of water, the bottom area of ​​the treatment tank 6 contains a certain amount of water. The chicken feet below are soaked in the water, and the instantaneously ejected airflow generates aeration, preventing chicken foot fragments from settling and sticking to the bottom. Furthermore, after the bubbles are generated in the water, they quickly rise to the surface and burst. The bursting of the bubbles generates a localized impact force. This tiny impact force continuously acts on the surface of the chicken feet, shaking off dirt adhering to the folds and nail crevices of the chicken feet. This is like a series of tiny explosions washing away the chicken feet.

[0037] The spraying effect of nozzle 67 and the flipping action of scraper 65 combine to achieve a better cleaning effect.

[0038] Preferably, after processing is completed, the first cylinder 4 drives the processing tank 6 to rise, thereby removing the water tank and replacing the water. The processing tank 6 then descends back to its original position, and the second cylinder 5 is activated to separate the processing tank 6. At this time, the first motor 3 is activated again, and the scraper 65 is designed at an angle to make the chicken feet fall from the bottom center. Other parts will not fall out due to the protective cover 82, preventing the chicken feet from falling into the appropriate position. Furthermore, the chicken feet falling onto the surface of the transport plate 2 are rotated by starting the first motor 3, which drives the cam 31 to rotate. With the help of the spring, the transport plate 2 shakes continuously. Combined with its tilting setting, the chicken feet are moved from one side to the other. During this process, excess water is drained through the filter hole 21 to the bottom, thus achieving solid-liquid separation.
