Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of meat duck processing equipment technology, specifically to an automated integrated production line for slaughtering and cutting meat ducks. Background Technology

[0002] In the large-scale processing of duck meat, slaughtering and cutting are the core processes. Their operational efficiency and processing quality directly determine the production benefits of enterprises. Among them, the efficiency of the feather removal process and the effect of duck feather treatment are particularly critical, directly affecting the overall production progress, the cleanliness of the processing environment, and the hygiene quality of subsequent meat products.

[0003] Traditional duck feather removal equipment typically only has a single feather removal function. During the feather removal process, duck feathers easily scatter into equipment gaps, work surfaces, and surrounding areas. This not only makes collection difficult, significantly increasing the workload and time required for manual cleaning, but also can breed bacteria and contaminate the processing environment, affecting the hygiene standards of subsequent processing steps such as evisceration and cleaning. Furthermore, manual cleaning is inefficient and uneven in its results, failing to meet the high-efficiency and standardized operation requirements of automated production lines. Therefore, this invention proposes an automated slaughtering and processing integrated production line that combines feather removal and duck feather collection functions, effectively solving the shortcomings of the existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an integrated automated slaughtering and processing production line for ducks. Through a combined design of the defecation unit, the main body of the defecation unit consists of a bottom defecation mechanism and an upper defecation mechanism. When duck feathers need to be collected, the upper defecation mechanism is moved upward by a lifting drive mechanism, and the duck feathers mixed with clean water are discharged through a drain pipe. This is very simple and solves the problem of inconvenient duck feather collection and processing in current equipment.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] An automated integrated slaughtering and processing production line for meat ducks includes a bleeding unit, a scalding unit, a defecation unit, a evisceration unit, and a cleaning and pre-cooling unit arranged sequentially along the slaughtering and processing sequence of the meat ducks. The defecation unit includes a horizontal plate, a bottom defecation mechanism mounted on the horizontal plate, and an upper defecation mechanism that is coordinated with the bottom defecation mechanism. The defecation unit also includes a lifting drive mechanism, which can control the upper defecation mechanism to rise through a slider on one side, so that the upper defecation mechanism is away from the bottom defecation mechanism, thereby realizing convenient collection and processing of duck feathers at the bottom defecation mechanism.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom hair removal mechanism includes a support portion and an arc-shaped seat rotatably connected to the support portion, wherein an array of first rubber hair removal fingers are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the arc-shaped seat.

[0010] Furthermore, the support includes a horizontal section with an annular structure and an inclined section protruding from the edge of the horizontal section, with an arc-shaped seat rotatably connected to the horizontal section; the upper depilation mechanism includes an annular cylinder, the lower end of which abuts against the horizontal section, and an array of second rubber depilation fingers fixedly connected to the inner wall of the annular cylinder, the second rubber depilation fingers being staggered with the first rubber depilation fingers, so that when the arc-shaped seat rotates, the depilation of the duck can be achieved through the staggered first and second rubber depilation fingers.

[0011] Furthermore, a rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the center of the arc-shaped seat, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the horizontal plate. A motor is installed on the lower surface of the horizontal plate, and the output shaft of the motor is coaxially connected and fixed to the rotating shaft. A support plate is fixedly connected between the lower surface of the horizontal section and the upper surface of the horizontal plate.

[0012] Furthermore, two symmetrically distributed collection seats are provided protruding from the outer edge of the inclined section, and a collection groove is formed on each of the two collection seats. A drain pipe is connected to the collection groove. The outer edge of the inclined section is folded upward to form a raised edge, which covers the outside of the inclined section and the collection groove.

[0013] Furthermore, an array of spray heads is installed on the upper inner side of the annular cylinder.

[0014] Furthermore, the lifting drive mechanism includes a support frame, a guide rail fixedly connected to one side of the support frame along the length of the support frame, and a slider slidably connected to the guide rail. An L-shaped connector is fixedly connected to one side of the slider, and the L-shaped connector is fixedly connected to the annular cylinder of the upper hair removal mechanism. A cylinder is installed on the top of the support frame, the end of the cylinder piston rod is fixedly connected to the L-shaped connector, and a stop block for stopping and limiting the slider is fixedly connected to the lower end of the guide rail.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an integrated automated slaughtering and processing production line for ducks, which has the following advantages:

[0017] 1. This invention utilizes the cooperation between the bottom and upper hair removal mechanisms in the hair removal unit. By using a motor to drive the arc-shaped seat to rotate, the first and second rubber hair removal fingers, which are distributed in an alternating manner, perform all-round hair removal on the duck. The hair removal efficiency is high, and the rubber hair removal fingers are soft, which can effectively protect the meat, avoid damage to the duck meat, improve the quality of meat processing, and adapt to the batch hair removal needs of large-scale production.

[0018] 2. This invention, through the coordinated design of the lifting drive mechanism, spray head, and collection structure, achieves convenient centralized collection of duck feathers. When duck feathers need to be collected, the upper feather removal mechanism is moved upward by a cylinder, and the spray head sprays clean water to rinse the duck feathers. The water and duck feathers flow into the collection tank along the horizontal and inclined sections, and are then discharged through the drain pipe. This solves the problem of cumbersome duck feather collection in traditional feather removal equipment, reduces the burden of manual cleaning, adapts to the high-efficiency operation requirements of automated production lines, and ensures a clean processing environment. The invention also addresses the cumbersome duck feather collection issue, reduces the burden of manual cleaning, lowers labor costs, adapts to the high-efficiency operation requirements of automated production lines, and ensures a clean and hygienic processing environment, improving production standardization.

[0025] 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.

[0026] Example

[0027] like Figures 1-5 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention proposes an integrated automated slaughtering and cutting production line for meat ducks, including a bleeding unit 1, a scalding unit 2, a defecation unit 3, a evisceration unit 4, and a cleaning and pre-cooling unit 5 arranged sequentially along the slaughtering and cutting sequence of the meat ducks. The defecation unit 3 includes a horizontal plate 6, a bottom defecation mechanism 7 installed on the horizontal plate 6, and an upper defecation mechanism 8 arranged in cooperation with the bottom defecation mechanism 7. The defecation unit 3 also includes a lifting drive mechanism 9, which can control the upper defecation mechanism 8 to rise through a slider 92 on one side, so that the upper defecation mechanism 8 is away from the bottom defecation mechanism 7, thereby realizing the convenient collection and processing of duck feathers at the bottom defecation mechanism 7.

[0028] It should be noted that the production line operates in the slaughtering and processing sequence. After bleeding the ducks in the bleeding unit 1, they are transported to the scalding unit 2 to soften the duck feathers with hot water, and then enter the defecation unit 3 to complete the defecation. Subsequently, the internal organs are removed by the evisceration unit 4, and finally, the cleaning and pre-cooling unit 5 cleans and pre-cools the meat to ensure hygiene. Among them, the defecation unit 3 is the core part. The horizontal plate 6 provides the mounting base for the bottom defecation mechanism 7. During normal defecation, the bottom defecation mechanism 7 and the upper defecation mechanism 8 are closely fitted together. When duck feathers need to be collected, the lifting drive mechanism 9 drives the upper defecation mechanism 8 to rise through the slider 92, moving it away from the bottom defecation mechanism 7. After separation, the duck feathers can be collected conveniently, avoiding accumulation that affects the operation.

[0029] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the bottom hair removal mechanism 7 includes a support portion and an arc-shaped seat 71 rotatably connected to the support portion, with an array of first rubber hair removal fingers 73 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the arc-shaped seat 71.

[0030] It should be noted that the core of the bottom de-hairing mechanism 7 is that the arc-shaped seat 71 rotates to drive the first rubber de-hairing finger 73 to work. The support part provides installation and rotation support for the arc-shaped seat 71. The array of first rubber de-hairing fingers 73 rotates with the arc-shaped seat 71 and works with the upper de-hairing mechanism 8 to peel off the duck feathers. The rubber material can avoid damaging the skin of the duck and ensure the integrity of the meat.

[0031] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the support includes a horizontal section 74 with an annular structure and an inclined section 75 protruding from the edge of the horizontal section 74. The arc-shaped seat 71 is rotatably connected to the horizontal section 74. The upper depilation mechanism 8 includes an annular cylinder 81, the lower end of which abuts against the horizontal section 74. An array of second rubber depilation fingers 82 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the annular cylinder 81. The second rubber depilation fingers 82 and the first rubber depilation fingers 73 are arranged alternately. When the arc-shaped seat 71 rotates, the depilation of the duck can be achieved through the alternately arranged first rubber depilation fingers 73 and second rubber depilation fingers 82.

[0032] It should be noted that the support section consists of an annular horizontal section 74 and an inclined edge section 75. The horizontal section 74 provides a rotating mounting surface for the arc-shaped seat 71, and the inclined section 75 facilitates the flow of duck feathers and water. The arc-shaped seat 71 can rotate around the horizontal section 74. The annular cylinder 81 of the upper depilation mechanism 8 abuts against the horizontal section 74 to form a closed space. The second rubber depilation finger 82 and the first rubber depilation finger 73 on its inner wall are interlaced. When the arc-shaped seat 71 rotates, the two friction combs, efficiently removing duck feathers and ensuring thorough depilation.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a rotating shaft 72 is fixedly connected to the center of the arc-shaped seat 71, and the rotating shaft 72 is rotatably connected to the horizontal plate 6. A motor 11 is installed on the lower surface of the horizontal plate 6, and the output shaft of the motor 11 is coaxially connected and fixed to the rotating shaft 72. A support plate 10 is fixedly connected between the lower surface of the horizontal section 74 and the upper surface of the horizontal plate 6.

[0034] It should be noted that the arc-shaped seat 71 has a centrally fixed rotating shaft 72, which drives the rotation of the arc-shaped seat 71; the motor 11 on the lower surface of the horizontal plate 6 is the power source, which drives the rotating shaft 72 and the arc-shaped seat 71 to rotate after starting, so as to realize the rotation of the first rubber hair removal finger 73 for hair removal. The support plate 10 connects the horizontal section 74 and the horizontal plate 6 to ensure the stability of the support part.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, two symmetrically distributed collection seats 76 are provided protruding from the outer edge of the inclined section 75, and a collection groove 78 is formed on each of the two collection seats 76. A drain pipe 77 is connected to the collection groove 78. Furthermore, a raised edge 79 is formed by folding upward at the outer edge of the inclined section 75, and the raised edge 79 covers the outside of the inclined section 75 and the collection groove 78.

[0036] It should be noted that the two collection seats 76 on the outer edge of the inclined section 75 are equipped with collection troughs 78 for receiving duck feathers and water flow, and the drain pipe 77 discharges them in time to achieve centralized collection; the raised edge 79 can prevent duck feathers and water flow from scattering, ensuring that all of them flow into the collection trough 78, avoiding environmental pollution and reducing the burden of manual cleaning.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, an array of spray heads 83 are installed on the upper inner side of the annular cylinder 81.

[0038] It should be noted that the spray head 83 inside the annular cylinder 81 sprays clean water, which on the one hand washes the duck during the molting process, removes broken feathers and impurities and improves cleanliness; on the other hand, when collecting duck feathers, the duck feathers attached to the rinsing mechanism are guided to the collection tank 78 by the inclined section 75 to achieve rapid and concentrated collection of duck feathers.

[0039] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the lifting drive mechanism 9 includes a support frame 91, a guide rail 93 fixedly connected to one side of the support frame 91 along the length direction of the support frame 91, and a slider 92 slidably connected to the guide rail 93. An L-shaped connector 95 is fixedly connected to one side of the slider 92, and the L-shaped connector 95 is fixedly connected to the annular cylinder 81 of the upper hair removal mechanism 8. A cylinder 94 is installed on the top of the support frame 91, and the end of the piston rod of the cylinder 94 is fixedly connected to the L-shaped connector 95. A stop block for stopping and limiting the slider 92 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the guide rail 93.

[0040] It should be noted that the lifting drive mechanism 9 is powered by the cylinder 94, which drives the upper hair removal mechanism 8 to rise and fall. The support frame 91 provides the mounting base for the mechanism, the guide rail 93 guides the slider 92 to slide up and down, and the L-shaped connector 95 connects the slider 92 and the annular cylinder 81 to transmit power. When it rises, the piston rod of the cylinder 94 retracts, causing the component to move upward. When hair removal occurs, the piston rod moves downward, the annular cylinder 81 resets and abuts against the horizontal section 74, and the stop block limits the slider 92 to prevent it from disengaging, thus providing support and limiting.

[0041] The working principle and usage steps of this invention are as follows: After starting the production line, the duck to be processed is sent to the bleeding unit 1 for bleeding treatment. Then, the duck is transported to the scalding unit 2 for hot water scalding to soften the feathers. After scalding, the duck enters the defecation unit 3. At this time, the lifting drive mechanism 9 is in its initial state. The lower end of the annular cylinder 81 of the upper defecation mechanism 8 abuts against the horizontal section 74 of the bottom defecation mechanism 7. The motor 11 on the lower surface of the horizontal plate 6 is started. The motor 11 drives the arc-shaped seat 71 to rotate via the rotating shaft 72. The first rubber defecation finger 73 on the arc-shaped seat 71 and the second rubber defecation finger 82 on the inner wall of the annular cylinder 81 interweave, performing all-around defecation of the duck. After defecation, the duck is removed, and... The cylinder 94 is activated, and the slider 92 is driven to rise along the guide rail 93 via the L-shaped connector 95. This causes the upper defecation mechanism 8 to move away from the lower defecation mechanism 7. During this process, the lower end of the annular cylinder 81 moves away from the horizontal section 74. Then, the spray head 83 sprays clean water onto the arc-shaped seat 71, causing the duck feathers and water to flow along the horizontal section 74 to the inclined section 75, and then into the collection trough 78 of the collection seat 76. Finally, the water is discharged through the drain pipe 77. The raised edge 79 prevents the duck feathers and sewage from scattering. After cleaning, the upper defecation mechanism 8 is reset, and the defecation duck is transported to the evisceration unit 4 to remove the internal organs. Finally, it is sent to the cleaning and pre-cooling unit 5 for cleaning and pre-cooling treatment, completing the entire slaughtering and cutting process.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
