Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of slaughtering and processing technology, and specifically to an adjustable conveying device for slaughtering and processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the slaughtering and processing process, various livestock and poultry carcass materials are mainly transferred between workstations by overhead conveyor devices. These conveyor devices adopt a track-mounted conveying operation mode, where the processed materials are directly suspended on the movable hooks that are matched with the conveyor mechanism and flow to various processing areas along the conveyor line, thereby realizing continuous processing on the assembly line. Currently, most traditional overhead conveyor devices have a fixed overall installation height that cannot be changed. After the equipment is erected, the working height of the hooks suspending materials remains uniform.

[0003] However, the height of the operators in the slaughterhouse varies greatly, and the uniform and fixed conveyor height cannot meet the working needs of all workers. Shorter workers need to constantly raise their arms and stand on tiptoe to cut and clean the suspended materials, which can easily lead to physical fatigue after long-term work. Taller workers need to bend over and lower their heads to carry out processing work, which puts a lot of stress on their lumbar spine and back, and can easily cause soreness and strain after long-term work. The fixed height of the conveyor equipment cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the height of the operators, which seriously affects the comfort of the workers and reduces the processing efficiency, thus having certain limitations. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the prior art, the present invention provides an adjustable conveying device for slaughtering and processing to solve the above problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: An adjustable conveying device for slaughtering and processing includes a mounting frame and a conveying mechanism mounted on the mounting frame. The conveying mechanism includes a drive belt, side blocks, a lifting shaft, and a pressing component. The drive belt is enclosed, and multiple side blocks are arranged at equal intervals along the surface of the drive belt. The lifting shaft corresponds to each side block, and the side blocks are mounted on the corresponding side blocks. A first limiting hole adapted to the lifting shaft is opened on the side block. The lifting shaft is slidably connected inside the first limiting hole. The pressing component is installed at the bottom of the lifting shaft for clamping and conveying materials.

[0006] Preferably, the pressing component includes a top plate fixed to the bottom of the lifting shaft, two bottom plates symmetrically fixed to the bottom of the top plate, a receiving gap between the two bottom plates, and materials can be placed inside the receiving gap. A first sliding plate is provided on one side of the bottom plate, and a clamping component is fixed to the side of the first sliding plate facing the corresponding first sliding plate. The clamping component has a pointed tip on the side facing the corresponding bottom plate. A second limiting hole adapted to the clamping component is opened on the bottom plate, and the clamping component is coaxially arranged with the second limiting hole. The clamping component is slidably connected inside the corresponding second limiting hole.

[0007] Preferably, a sliding block is fixed to the top of the base plate, and a first sliding groove adapted to the sliding block is opened at the bottom of the top plate. The outer wall of the sliding block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the corresponding first sliding groove. The sliding block cooperates with the first sliding groove to limit the position of the first sliding plate.

[0008] Preferably, the inner wall of the side block is slidably connected to a second sliding plate, and the second sliding plate is provided with a third limiting hole adapted to the lifting shaft. The third limiting hole is coaxially arranged with the corresponding lifting shaft, and the lifting shaft is rotatably connected inside the corresponding third limiting hole.

[0009] Preferably, both ends of the transmission belt are meshed with gears, a drive source is mounted on the mounting bracket, and the output end of the drive source is connected to one of the gears. The top of the other gear is rotatably connected to a support shaft, and the support shaft is coaxially arranged with the drive source. The top of the support shaft is rotatably connected to the rib wall at the top of the mounting bracket.

[0010] Preferably, the mounting frame is provided with an adjustment mechanism, which includes linkage components symmetrically arranged on the top of the mounting frame. The linkage components have multiple peaks and valleys. A drive shaft is fixed between two linkage components, and the linkage components and the drive shaft are coaxially arranged. Side support plates are provided on both sides of the drive shaft, and both side support plates are fixed on the top of the mounting frame. The two ends of the drive shaft are rotatably connected to one side wall of the corresponding side support plate. A fourth limiting hole adapted to the drive shaft is opened on the side support plate, and the outer wall of the drive shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fourth limiting hole.

[0011] Preferably, the mounting bracket is provided with a flipping mechanism, which includes a connecting plate disposed above the top plate and the connecting plate is coaxially disposed with the lifting shaft. The top of the top plate is fixed with the connecting shaft, and the connecting plate is provided with a second sliding groove adapted to the connecting shaft, and the connecting shaft is slidably connected inside the corresponding second sliding groove.

[0012] Preferably, a sleeve is fixedly connected between the bottom of the side block and the top of the connecting plate, and the lifting shaft is slidably connected inside the sleeve. A linkage block is fixed on the outer wall of the lifting shaft, and a linkage groove adapted to the linkage block is opened on the inner wall of the sleeve, and the linkage block is slidably connected inside the linkage groove.

[0013] Preferably, the second groove is composed of an arc-shaped groove and a vertical groove, and one end of the arc-shaped groove is connected to one end of the vertical groove.

[0014] Preferably, a return spring is fixed to the bottom of the second sliding plate and the inner bottom wall of the side block.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. The drive shaft rotates the linkage components with varying height peaks and valleys, changing the corresponding position of the bottom protrusions of the linkage components to control the downward stroke of the lifting shaft. This allows for flexible adjustment of the working height of the bottom clamping components, adapting to the conveying needs of slaughter materials of different sizes and specifications, and accommodating the loading and unloading habits of operators of different heights. 2. Through a symmetrical clamping structure, a material-accommodating gap is formed between the two base plates. This, combined with a sliding plate and a clamping element with a pointed tip, secures the material. After the material is placed, the return spring's push force causes the sliding plate to slide inwards towards the base plate, allowing the clamping element to penetrate the second limiting hole and embed itself into the material, achieving a tight clamping effect. This effectively prevents problems such as shaking, shifting, and falling off of the slaughtered material during continuous conveying. 3. Through the cooperation of sleeve, linkage block and linkage groove, the lifting shaft can be automatically driven to rotate during the lifting and sliding process. With the trajectory guidance of the connecting shaft and the arc and vertical groove combination slide, the clamping component can be flipped. The loading and unloading station can be flipped by the structure to make the material receiving gap face the operator. There is no need to manually flip the material, which greatly reduces the operation difficulty and labor intensity of the staff, simplifies the material clamping and unloading process, effectively improves the operation efficiency of slaughtering and processing, and adapts to the needs of assembly line processing production.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] Reference Appendix Figures 1-6 As shown, an adjustable conveying device for slaughtering and processing includes a mounting frame 10, on which a conveying mechanism 20 is provided for conveying materials. The conveying mechanism 20 includes a drive belt 21, which is enclosed. Multiple side blocks 22 are installed on the surface of the drive belt 21 at equal intervals. The multiple side blocks 22 are arranged along the extension direction of the surface of the drive belt 21. Each side block 22 is provided with a lifting shaft 23. A first limiting hole 24 adapted to the lifting shaft 23 is opened on the side block 22. The lifting shaft 23 is coaxially arranged with the first limiting hole 24 and is slidably connected inside the first limiting hole 24. The first limiting hole 24 is used to limit the lifting shaft 23 to maintain the stability of the lifting shaft 23.

[0020] A pressure piece 25 is installed at the bottom of the lifting shaft 23 to clamp the material for easy transport.

[0021] The pressing component 25 includes a top plate 2501 fixed to the bottom of the lifting shaft 23. Two bottom plates 2502 are symmetrically fixed to the bottom of the top plate 2501, with a receiving gap between them. Materials can be placed inside the receiving gap for conveying by the transmission belt 21. A first sliding plate 2503 is provided on one side of each bottom plate 2502. A clamping member 2504 is fixed to the side of the first sliding plate 2503 facing the corresponding side of the first sliding plate 2503, and the clamping member 2504 has a pointed tip facing the corresponding side of the bottom plate 2502. The bottom plate 2502 has a corresponding clamping tip. The second limiting hole 2505 is adapted to the holding member 2504, and the clamping member 2504 is coaxially arranged with the second limiting hole 2505. The clamping member 2504 is slidably connected inside the corresponding second limiting hole 2505. When the two first sliding plates 2503 slide towards the corresponding base plate 2502, the two first sliding plates 2503 approach each other, and the clamping member 2504 slides inside the second limiting hole 2505. The tip of the clamping member 2504 is inserted into the material to clamp and fix it, so that the material can be conveyed by the transmission belt 21.

[0022] A sliding block 2506 is fixed to the top of the base plate 2502, and a first sliding groove 2507 adapted to the sliding block 2506 is opened at the bottom of the top plate 2501. The outer wall of the sliding block 2506 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the corresponding first sliding groove 2507. The sliding block 2506 cooperates with the first sliding groove 2507 to limit the first sliding plate 2503 so as to maintain the stability of the sliding of the first sliding plate 2503.

[0023] The inner wall of the side block 22 is slidably connected to a second sliding plate 2508. The second sliding plate 2508 is provided with a third limiting hole 2509 that is adapted to the lifting shaft 23. The third limiting hole 2509 is coaxially arranged with the corresponding lifting shaft 23, and the lifting shaft 23 is rotatably connected inside the corresponding third limiting hole 2509. The second sliding plate 2508 is used to limit the lifting shaft 23 to maintain the stability of the lifting shaft 23.

[0024] A return spring 2510 is fixed to the bottom of the second sliding plate 2508 and the inner bottom wall of the side block 22 to support the second sliding plate 2508 and to reset the second sliding plate 2508 after it has been released from its restraints.

[0025] Both ends of the transmission belt 21 are meshed with gears 26. A drive source 28 is mounted on the mounting bracket 10, and the output end of the drive source 28 is connected to one of the gears 26. The top of the other gear 26 is rotatably connected to a support shaft 210, which is coaxial with the drive source 28. The top of the support shaft 210 is rotatably connected to the rib wall at the top of the mounting bracket 10. The support shaft 210 is used to support the connected gear 26 to maintain the stability of the gear 26.

[0026] The mounting bracket 10 is equipped with an adjustment mechanism 30 for adjusting the height of the pressure member 25 to accommodate different heights.

[0027] The adjustment mechanism 30 includes linkage members 31 symmetrically arranged on the top of the mounting frame 10. The linkage members 31 have multiple peaks and valleys. A drive shaft 32 is fixed between two linkage members 31, and the linkage members 31 and the drive shaft 32 are coaxially arranged.

[0028] It should be noted that the heights of the multiple peaks and valleys of the linkage 31 are not the same, that is, the heights of the multiple peaks and valleys of the linkage 31 decrease sequentially. When the drive shaft 32 rotates around its axis, the drive shaft 32 can drive the linkage 31 to rotate, thereby adjusting the corresponding peaks and valleys of the linkage 31, so as to adjust the height of the pressure piece 25.

[0029] Both sides of the drive shaft 32 are provided with side support plates 33, and both side support plates 33 are fixed to the top of the mounting bracket 10. The two ends of the drive shaft 32 are respectively rotatably connected to one side wall of the corresponding side support plate 33. The side support plates 33 are used to support the drive shaft 32 to maintain the stability of the drive shaft 32.

[0030] The side support plate 33 is provided with a fourth limiting hole 34 that is adapted to the drive shaft 32, and the fourth limiting hole 34 is coaxially arranged with the drive shaft 32, and the outer wall of the drive shaft 32 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fourth limiting hole 34.

[0031] The mounting frame 10 is equipped with a flipping mechanism 40, which is used to flip the material held by the pressure piece 25, making it easier for workers to install or remove the material.

[0032] The flipping mechanism 40 includes a connecting plate 41 disposed above the top plate 2501, and the connecting plate 41 is coaxially disposed with the lifting shaft 23. The top of the top plate 2501 is fixed with a connecting shaft 42. A second sliding groove 43 adapted to the connecting shaft 42 is opened on the connecting plate 41, and the connecting shaft 42 is slidably connected inside the corresponding second sliding groove 43. The second sliding groove 43 is composed of an arc groove and a vertical groove, and one end of the arc groove is connected to one end of the vertical groove.

[0033] A sleeve 44 is fixedly connected between the bottom of the side block 22 and the top of the connecting plate 41, and the lifting shaft 23 is slidably connected inside the sleeve 44. A linkage block 45 is fixed on the outer wall of the lifting shaft 23, and a linkage groove 46 adapted to the linkage block 45 is opened on the inner wall of the sleeve 44, and the linkage block 45 is slidably connected inside the linkage groove 46.

[0034] In use, first turn the drive shaft 32 by rotating the knob 35. The drive shaft 32 then drives the linkage 31 to adjust the convexity, thereby controlling the downward movement height of the top plate 2501. Then, turn on the drive source 28 through the control system. The output end of the drive source 28 drives the support shaft 210 to rotate. The support shaft 210 then drives the connected transmission belt 21 to slide. The transmission belt 21 drives the side block 22 to rotate. When the top of the lifting shaft 23 abuts against the convex part at the lower end of the linkage 31, the lifting shaft 23 will move downward. Because the surface of the linkage 31 has multiple segments... The lifting shaft 23 has raised sections of varying heights to control its downward movement. When the lifting shaft 23 abuts against the raised section at the bottom of the linkage 31, it moves downward within the side block 22, causing the top plate 2501 to move downward, thus lowering the height suitable for the worker. During this downward movement, the linkage block 45 slides along the extension trajectory of the linkage groove 46, and the lifting shaft 23 rotates. Meanwhile, the connecting shaft 42 slides from the arc-shaped groove of the second sliding groove 43 into the interior of the vertical groove, while the sliding block 2506... The material slides along the extension direction of the first slide groove 2507, with the first sliding plate 2503 sliding away from the bottom plate 2502. When the top plate 2501 rotates, it drives the bottom plate 2502 to rotate as well. The gap between the two bottom plates 2502 faces the worker, allowing the worker to place materials inside the gap. The tip of the clamping member 2504 abuts against the surface of the material. After the material is attached, the support shaft 210 continues to drive the transmission belt 21 to slide, and then the lifting shaft 23 disengages from the linkage member 31. The return spring 2510 in the compressed state is reset, that is, the lifting shaft 23 moves upward, the connecting shaft 42 slides from the vertical groove of the second slide groove 43 into the arc groove, and the first sliding plate 2503 slides towards the bottom plate 2502, and the clamping member 2504 slides towards the middle of the bottom plate 2502, thereby clamping the material and keeping the material in a centered state to facilitate material conveying. Since the mounting frame 10 is equipped with adjustment mechanisms 30 on both sides, that is, the two adjustment mechanisms 30 correspond to the loading and unloading points respectively, the material is loaded and unloaded respectively.

[0035] The technical solution of the present invention has been described above with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after such changes or substitutions will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
