Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of poultry food processing, and particularly relates to a chicken neck cutting machine. Background Art

[0002] White - feather chickens are a breed of poultry.

[0003] In the cutting pipeline of white - feather chickens, several workstations are usually set up to cut each part of the poultry successively. Most of the cutting processes are carried out manually, which is relatively dangerous; while the traditional automated cutting mechanism has complex equipment and cannot be adjusted for cutting poultry of various sizes; especially for the cutting of chicken necks, since the chicken necks are relatively soft, it is difficult to fix them, resulting in the difficulty for traditional machinery to cut precisely.

[0004] Therefore, a chicken neck cutting machine is needed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] To solve the deficiencies of the existing technology described above, this application provides a chicken neck cutting machine for poultry, which can achieve automated cutting of the chicken necks of white - feather chickens and improve the cutting accuracy and efficiency.

[0006] The technical effects to be achieved by this application are realized through the following solutions:

[0007] According to the first aspect of this application, a chicken neck cutting machine is provided, which includes a frame. The frame is installed at the conveying mechanism. A lifting frame is vertically slidably connected to the frame, and a vertical push rod drives the lifting frame to move up and down. A chicken neck guiding device is arranged on the lifting frame. The chicken neck guiding device is provided with a forward - facing trumpet - shaped guiding channel. A cutting mechanism is arranged at the chicken neck guiding device, and the cutting mechanism is installed on the lifting frame.

[0008] Through this solution, the frame is fixed to the conveying mechanism. After the semi - finished product is conveyed to this place by the conveying mechanism, since the poultry body is hung upside down, the chicken neck will enter the chicken neck guiding device through the guiding channel for position fixation, and then the automated cutting is completed by the cutting mechanism. The lifting frame can adjust the overall height of the cutting mechanism and the guiding frame to adapt to the overall height of the current conveying mechanism, improving the scope of application.

[0009] Preferably, the chicken neck guiding device includes a neck - clamping mechanism and a protective cover. The guiding channel is arranged on the protective cover. The neck - clamping mechanism is used to clamp and stabilize the chicken neck, and the blade of the cutting mechanism is located between the protective cover and the neck - clamping mechanism.

[0010] With this solution, the chicken neck clamping mechanism can position the chicken neck, avoiding deviation in the cutting position caused by random movement during cutting, and improving cutting accuracy and reliability; the protective cover can block the debris generated during cutting to prevent splashing from affecting electrical equipment.

[0011] Preferably, the chicken neck clamping mechanism includes a clamping chain and a driving motor. There are two clamping chains which are distributed below the guiding channel. The driving motor drives the clamping chain to rotate, so that the clamping chain moves synchronously with the conveying mechanism.

[0012] With this solution, after the two clamping chains clamp the chicken neck, they move synchronously under the drive of the driving motor, making this device suitable for use on a production line and improving the production rhythm.

[0013] Preferably, the cutting mechanism includes a power motor and a blade. The power motor is fixed to the lifting platform of the lifting frame, and the blade is fixed to the rotating shaft of the power motor.

[0014] With this solution, under the guiding action of the guiding rail, the poultry is extruded onto the blade, and the rotation of the blade realizes the cutting of the poultry carcass.

[0015] Preferably, the frame includes a vertically arranged sliding frame and a mounting frame horizontally fixed to the top of the sliding frame. Mounting lugs are provided at the top of the mounting frame.

[0016] With this solution, the mounting frame is fixedly connected to the conveying mechanism through the mounting lugs, and the sliding frame is used for installing and adjusting the lifting frame.

[0017] Preferably, guiding rails are provided inside the sliding frame, and the lifting frame is slidably connected to the guiding rails. One end of the vertical push rod is fixed to the mounting frame, and the other end is connected to the top of the lifting frame.

[0018] With this solution, it plays a role in guiding and stabilizing the vertical movement of the lifting frame, ensuring the accuracy of its position. The vertical push rod is, for example, an electric push cylinder, which can perform fine height adjustment to adapt to the cutting of different types and sizes of poultry.

[0019] Preferably, opposite pulleys are provided on the lifting frame, and the pulleys are arranged to clamp the guiding rail.

[0020] With this solution, through the rolling connection of the pulleys on the lifting frame, wear can be reduced and the service life can be improved.

[0021] According to an embodiment of the present application, the beneficial effects of using the chicken neck cutting machine of the present application are as follows: it can be installed on a poultry conveyor line to achieve fully automatic cutting of poultry chicken necks. Moreover, due to the setting of the guiding frame, the cutting accuracy is higher; the height of the lifting frame is adjustable, which can adapt to the installation positions of different sizes of poultry and different production lines, improving the applicable range of the device.

[0033] After the two clamping chains 221 clamp the chicken neck, they move synchronously under the drive of the driving motor 222, making this device suitable for use on the assembly line and improving the production rhythm.

[0034] The two clamping chains 221 are arranged in parallel, and gears 223 are provided at both the front and rear ends. The two chains are driven by the same driving motor 222 to achieve synchronous movement, avoiding pulling and friction on the chicken neck and affecting the external integrity.

[0035] The chains are parallel and horizontally arranged. After the chicken neck is transported, it can be clamped, avoiding shaking in all directions, and can squeeze the chicken neck onto the cutting mechanism 300 to complete cutting, avoiding the problem of oblique cutting caused by shaking during cutting.

The mounting frame 120 is fixedly connected to the conveying mechanism through the mounting lug 121, and the sliding frame 110 is used for installing and adjusting the lifting frame 130. The setting of the mounting lug 121 can flexibly and safely fix the installation position and the fixing position of the equipment, and uniformly adjust the corresponding position dimensions of each single sub-cutting part.

[0039] In an embodiment of the present application, a guide rail is provided inside the sliding frame 110, and the lifting frame 130 is slidably connected to the guide rail. One end of the vertical push rod 112 is fixed to the mounting frame 120, and the other end is connected to the top of the lifting frame 130. It plays a role in guiding and stabilizing the vertical movement of the lifting frame 130, ensuring the accuracy of its position. The vertical push rod 112 is, for example, an electric push cylinder, which can perform fine height adjustment to adapt to the cutting of different types and sizes of poultry.

[0040] In an embodiment of the present application, relatively arranged pulleys 132 are provided on the lifting frame 130, and the pulleys 132 are clamped to the guide rail.
