Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of poultry carcass cutting equipment, in particular to a clamping piece and a conveying mechanism using the clamping piece. Background Art

[0002] As people's living standards improve, their demand for poultry meat products is also increasing, especially the demand for poultry such as chickens, ducks and geese is increasing year by year.

[0003] In actual consumption, people often divide slaughtered chickens, ducks and geese into several parts according to consumer demand. The wing part (a combination of wing root and breast meat) is cut into wing root and breast meat and sold separately, and the leg part (a combination of drumstick and leg meat) is cut into drumstick and leg meat and sold separately.

[0004] At present, there are two main methods for the above-mentioned cutting. One is to manually hold the wing root and drumstick part by hand, and move the other part close to the rotating cutting blade for cutting. This method is easy to cause fatigue to the workers, which may easily lead to accidental cutting of the hands and is unsafe. The other is to use cutting equipment, such as a drumstick cutting device with application number CN202123383231.X, which includes a conveyor belt and several drumstick mold boxes fixed thereon. For example, when using this device to cut drumsticks, the leg parts need to be pressed into the drumstick mold boxes one by one before cutting, and then the conveyor belt is started to move toward the cutting device. After cutting, The cutting is completed after the device is installed. Although the device does not require manual fixation during the cutting process, since the leg meat part is relatively soft, in order to avoid directly putting it into the drumstick leg mold box, the leg meat part covers the drumstick leg, resulting in incomplete leg meat part. During installation, each drumstick leg and leg meat part need to be straightened one by one and then put into the drumstick leg mold box. The installation process is cumbersome and inefficient. In addition, since the size of the drumstick leg mold box is fixed, the length of the leg meat part after being pulled apart may exceed the length of the drumstick leg mold box, and the leg meat part is difficult to keep straightened in the drumstick leg mold box, resulting in under-cutting of the leg meat part or over-cutting of the drumstick leg.

[0030] The above-mentioned clamping member 2 includes a mounting plate 21 and a hanging plate 22 on one side thereof. A hanging notch is also provided on one side of the hanging plate 22. The hanging notch includes an inlet section 221 and a hanging section 222 arranged in sequence. The inlet section 221 is arranged close to the outer side of the hanging plate 22 and is in a trumpet shape with its opening facing the outer side of the hanging plate 22. The clamping member 2 is arranged on the outer side of the chain link of the chain 1 through the mounting plate 21. The poultry carcass is hung on the clamping member 2 from the inlet section 221 of the hanging plate 22 to the hanging section 222. The poultry carcass that has been hung is in a suspended state and It can maintain a suspended state during the conveying and cutting process, and the poultry carcass in the suspended state will not be interfered by any parts. Compared with the traditional method of fixing the poultry carcass by a mold box, there is no need to straighten the poultry carcass during installation. When cutting, the cutting shape can be adjusted by adjusting the angle between the mounting plate 21 and the hanging plate 22, thereby avoiding over-cutting or under-cutting that may occur when cutting poultry carcasses of different specifications; its mechanized processing method not only replaces manual labor and improves safety, but also greatly improves cutting efficiency.

[0031] As described above, the clamping member 2 has an end of the hanging opening section 222 away from the feed inlet section 221 that is an arc-shaped structure with its opening facing the feed inlet section 221, so as to increase the contact surface between the poultry carcass and the end of the hanging opening section 222 away from the feed inlet section 221 after the poultry carcass is hung on the hanging plate 22, thereby improving the stability of the poultry carcass hanging and the subsequent cutting quality.

[0032] As described above, the clamping member 2, the mounting plate 21 and the hanging plate 22 are integrally manufactured, and the thickness of the mounting plate 21 and the hanging plate 22 are both 2mm-5mm to improve the structural strength of the clamping member 2. The clamping member 2 has sufficient strength to keep the poultry carcass in a suspended state after the hanging is completed, thereby improving the stability of the poultry carcass hanging and the subsequent cutting quality.

[0033] The chain 1 of this embodiment is a standard part, and the connecting plates on the outer sides of the chain links are in the following two situations: the first situation: the connecting plates are vertical plates; the second situation: the connecting plates are horizontal plates.

[0034] Embodiment 1 can be used in the first case mentioned above. In this case, the angle between the hanging plate 22 and the mounting plate 21 is designed to be no greater than 90 degrees, and the mounting plate 21 is vertically arranged on the outer side of the vertical plate on the chain link. Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown (the included angle between the hanging plate 22 and the mounting plate 21 is 60°).

[0035] Embodiment 2 can be used in the second case mentioned above. In this case, the angle between the hanging plate 22 and the mounting plate 21 is designed to be 90°-180°, and the mounting plate 21 is horizontally arranged on the upper side / lower side of the horizontal plate on the chain link. Figure 4 As shown (the included angle between the hanging plate 22 and the mounting plate 21 is 180°).

[0036] In order to meet the cutting requirements of different poultry carcass products: the hanging notch is set obliquely / vertically along the conveying direction of the chain 1. For example, the different cutting requirements of the duck leg part (a combination of duck drumstick and duck leg meat) and the duck wing part (a combination of duck wing root and duck breast meat) are that the duck leg part includes the duck drumstick and the duck leg meat connected thereto, and the two parts are required to be directly separated when cutting, and the duck wing part includes the duck wing root and the duck breast meat connected thereto, and the two parts are required to be cut apart, leaving a section of duck skin on the duck wing root when cutting.

[0037] In the cutting of the duck leg part, the hanging notch is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the chain 1 (such as Figure 4, using the installation method of Example 2), when cutting, the end of the duck leg away from the duck leg meat is hung on the clamping member 2 through the hanging notch on the hanging plate 22. The duck leg part that is hung has the bone ankle part away from the leg meat, which is commonly known as the cartilage part, stuck on the hanging plate 22 due to the action of gravity. At this time, the duck leg part is in a suspended state and hung on the clamping member 2. After the cutting is completed, the incision of the cut part of the duck leg is a horizontal incision, so that a complete duck leg can be obtained.

[0038] In the cutting of the duck wing part, the hanging notch is inclined along the conveying direction of the chain 1 (such as Figure 1-Figure 3 , using the installation method of Example 1), when cutting, the duck wing root of the duck wing part is away from the end of the breast meat, and is hung on the clamping member 2 through the hanging notch on the hanging plate 22. The duck wing part after hanging is stuck on the hanging plate 22 due to the action of gravity. At this time, the duck wing part is in a suspended state and hung on the clamping member 2, and because the hanging notch is inclined along the conveying direction of the chain 1, the duck wing part is also in an inclined suspended state and hung on the clamping member 2. After the cutting is completed, the incision of the cut part of the duck wing root is an inclined incision, and the cut duck wing root has a section of duck skin left compared to the cutting of the duck drumstick.

[0039] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 6 The conveying mechanism of this embodiment also includes a material return rod 3, the cross-sectional shape of the material return rod 3 is rectangular / circular, the plane where the chain 1 is located is vertical, one end of the material return rod 3 is located on the outside of one of the sprockets and is coplanar with the plane where the chain 1 is located, and the other end is toward the lower side of the sprocket and inclined toward the side of the chain 1 where the clamping member 2 is set. After the poultry carcass is cut, the part hung on the clamping member 2 can fall from the clamping member 2 under the push of the material return rod 3 during the conveying process with the chain 1, saving the step of manual picking up, thereby improving the overall work efficiency.

[0040] For ease of understanding, the pushing process of the return rod 3 is now described in detail: during the entire process, the clamping member 2 is located on the upper side of the return rod 3, and the return rod 3 is stationary during the pushing process. It is the part of the poultry carcass hung on the clamping member 2, and is pushed out from the hanging gap under the action of the return rod 3 during the process of being transported by the chain 1. Specifically, at the beginning of pushing, the end of the material return rod 3 on the outside of the sprocket (that is, the upper end of the material return rod 3) is on the inner side of the hanging notch of the clamping member 2 (the end of the hanging port section 222 away from the feed inlet section 221); after pushing for a distance, the middle section of the material return rod 3 is in the middle section of the hanging notch of the clamping member 2 (the position of the hanging port section 222 close to the feed inlet section 221); at the end of pushing, the lower end of the material return rod 3 is on the outside of the hanging notch of the clamping member 2; it can be seen from the above pushing process that the process of pushing the material by the material return rod 3 is that, in the process of the clamping member 2 moving with the chain 1, the poultry carcass is pushed out of the clamping member 2 from the hanging port section 222 of the clamping member 2 to the feed inlet section 221.

[0041] In this embodiment, a fixing plate is provided at one end of the material removal rod 3 located outside the sprocket, which is connected to the frame by bolts, and its vertical height is adjustable, and its position in the conveying direction of the chain 1 is also adjustable to adapt to the removal of poultry carcasses of various types and specifications.
