Thus, when the support plate 133 is in the first position, the pigs fall into the first accommodating area 101, and the driving structure drives the support plate 133 to move to the second position, so that the pigs can be turned around by 180°; when the support plate 133 is in the second position, the pigs will fall into the second accommodating area 102, and the driving structure drives the support plate 133 to move to the first position, so that the pigs can be turned around by 180°, thereby realizing the continuous automatic turning of one pig after another, facilitating subsequent operations, improving production capacity and reducing costs.

[0028] Optionally, it further includes a first conveying structure 1. The first conveying structure 1 includes a conveying plate 11, a first baffle 121 and a second baffle 122. The turntable 13 is arranged at the rear part of the conveying plate 11. The first baffle 121 is arranged on two opposite sides of the conveying plate 11, and the second baffle 122 is arranged at the rear side of the conveying plate 11. Specifically, the pigs will fall into the first accommodating area 101 or the second accommodating area 102 on the support plate 133 via the conveying plate 11 to facilitate the operation of the turntable 13 for turning the pigs around. The setting of the first baffle 121 can prevent the pigs from falling off from the side of the conveying plate 11 when moving on the conveying plate 11. The setting of the second baffle 122 can prevent the pigs from falling off from the rear side of the turntable 13 when the turntable 13 is running.

[0029] Optionally, the support plate 133 is circular, and the second baffle 122 is arc-shaped and arranged at the rear side of the support plate 133 to fit the shape of the support plate 133.

[0030] Optionally, one end of the second baffle 122 is detachably connected to the rear end of the first baffle 121 located on one side of the conveying plate 11; and / or the other end of the second baffle 122 is detachably connected to the rear end of the first baffle 121 located on the other side of the conveying plate 11. So that after the pigs are turned around, the operator can open the second baffle 122 and pull the pigs out of the support plate 133 to enter the next process.

[0031] Optionally, it further includes a second conveying structure 2, which includes a first conveyor belt 21 and third baffles 22 arranged on two opposite sides of the first conveyor belt 21. The rear end of the first conveyor belt 21 is connected to the front end of the conveying plate 11. The first conveyor belt 21 is arranged obliquely downward from front to back, and the live pigs can slide onto the conveying plate 11 via the first conveyor belt 21 and then slide onto the pallet 133 under the action of gravity.

[0032] Optionally, it further includes a third conveying structure 3 arranged at the rear side of the second baffle 122. The third conveying structure 3 includes a support frame 31 and second conveyor belts 32 arranged on two opposite sides of the support frame 31. A plurality of fasteners 33 for buckling or loosening the pig's hands and / or pig's feet of the live pigs are installed on the second conveyor belts 32. After the live pigs complete a U-turn, the operator pulls the live pigs out of the pallet 133 and buckles the pig's hands and / or pig's feet of the live pigs with the fasteners 33. When the second conveyor belts 32 move, the live pigs can be transported to the next process.

[0033] Optionally, the third conveying structure 3 further includes a plurality of rollers 34 arranged at intervals and in parallel. The rollers 34 are arranged on the support frame 31 and located between the two second conveyor belts 32. The rollers 34 can rotate relative to the support frame 31 under the action of an external force. By arranging the rollers 34, when the second conveyor belts drive the live pigs to move, the live pigs can roll along the rollers 34 to reduce the friction force and facilitate the transfer of the live pigs.

[0034] Optionally, the same gap is arranged between adjacent rollers 34 to improve the stability during the transfer of the live pigs.

[0035] The above are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the creative concept of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
