[0020] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention and enable those skilled in the art to implement the present invention. The preferred embodiments described below are provided for illustrative purposes only, and those skilled in the art will readily appreciate other obvious variations. The basic principles of the present invention as defined in the following description may be applied to other embodiments, variations, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0021] Those skilled in the art should understand that, in the disclosure of the specification, the terms "longitudinal", "transverse", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside" and the like indicating the orientation or position relationship are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, which are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0022] It is to be understood that the term "one" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element may be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the elements may be multiple, and the term "one" should not be understood as a limitation on the quantity.

[0023] refer to Figures 2 to 7 An embodiment of the present application provides a track-changing conveying mechanism for connecting a first circulating conveying line 10 and a second circulating conveying line 20, wherein the first circulating conveying line 10 includes a first conveying chain 11 and a first push plate 111 arranged on the first conveying chain 11, wherein the second circulating conveying line 20 includes a second conveying chain 21 and a second push plate 211 arranged on the second conveying chain 21, wherein the track-changing conveying mechanism 30 includes a fixed frame 31, a guide rail 32 and a transfer chain 33.

[0024] The fixed frame 31 is arranged between the first conveying chain 11 and the second conveying chain 21, and the transfer chain 33 is rotatably arranged horizontally on the outer peripheral side of the fixed frame 31, and is evenly installed with a shift plate 34. Preferably, a reduction motor 35 is installed at the top of one side of the fixed frame 31, and the output end of the reduction motor 35 at the bottom is coaxially connected with a driving sprocket 36, and a driven sprocket is installed at the bottom of the other side of the fixed frame 31. At the same time, the driving sprocket 36 and the driven sprocket are connected through the transfer chain 33, so that the transfer chain 33 can be controlled to rotate precisely by the reduction motor 35. During the conveying process, the conveying speeds of the transfer chain 33, the first conveyor chain 11 and the second conveyor chain 21 are determined according to the distances between two adjacent pigs on the transfer chain 33, the first conveyor chain 11 and the second conveyor chain 21. When the distances are equal, the transfer chain 33, the first conveyor chain 11 and the second conveyor chain 21 maintain the same conveying speed. When the distances are different, the conveying speeds of the transfer chain 33, the first conveyor chain 11 and the second conveyor chain 21 are set accordingly according to the multiples of the distances. For example, if the distance between two adjacent pigs on the first conveyor chain 11 is 1m and the distance between two adjacent pigs on the second conveyor chain 21 is 0.5m, then the conveying speed of the second conveyor chain 21 is the same as that of the first conveyor chain 11. The speed of the chain 11 is 0.5 times that of the conveying speed, so as to ensure that the number of pigs passing through in the same time is the same, and the transfer chain 33 is generally equal to the speed of the second conveyor chain 21. This implementation method can be achieved by respectively controlling the reduction motor 35 and the rotating element for driving the first conveyor chain 11 and the second conveyor chain 21 to rotate through the encoder. The circular conveying of the first circular conveyor line 10 and the second circular conveyor line 20 is the existing technology, that is, the rotating element for controlling the rotation of the first conveyor chain 11 and the second conveyor chain 21 and other matching parts such as sprockets, transmission belts or transmission chains are all conventional parts, and the transmission method, distribution position, connection method, etc. between each other are all existing technologies.

[0025] The transfer chain 33 has a transfer side 331. The guide rail 32 is close to the transfer chain 33 on the transfer side 331 and is parallel to the transfer chain 33 on the transfer side 331. At the same time, both ends of the guide rail 32 extend below the first conveyor chain 11 and the second conveyor chain 21, respectively. The guide rail 32 is staggered with the first conveyor chain 11 and the second conveyor chain 21 near the transfer chain 33, so that when the pig body 321 on the guide rail 32 is pushed to the staggered point by the first push plate 111, the paddle 34 can paddle the pig body 321 to continue moving on the guide rail 32 until it reaches the staggered point on the second conveyor chain 21 and is further pushed by the second push plate 211 to move along the guide rail 32.

[0026] Specifically, the pig body 321 is hung on the guide rail 32. When it is on the first circulating conveyor line 10, the first push plate 111 on the first conveyor chain 11 pushes the pig body 321 to move on the guide rail 32. When it moves to the transfer chain 33, since the first conveyor chain 11 and the transfer chain 33 are dislocated in the contact position (since the guide rail is parallel to the transfer chain on the transfer side, it means that the first conveyor chain and the guide rail are dislocated in the contact position), the first push plate 111 gradually disengages from the guide rail 32. At the same time, the dial plate 34 gradually moves onto the guide rail 32, replacing the first push plate 111 to continue pushing the pig body 321 to move on the guide rail 32. When the pig body 321 moves on the guide rail 32 and approaches the second circulating conveyor line 20, similarly, the dial plate 34 gradually disengages from the guide rail Track 32, and the second push plate 211 on the second conveyor chain 21 replaces the dial plate 34 to continue pushing the pig body 321 to move on the guide track 32, so that the pig body 321 can be seamlessly connected between the first conveyor chain 11 and the second conveyor chain 21, and the pig body 321 can be transported in an uninterrupted and orderly manner. Since the first conveyor chain 11, the transfer chain 33 and the second conveyor chain 21 all use the same guide track 32, the collision, entanglement and other problems caused by the conventional descending track sliding too fast can be avoided, and the problem of poor contamination caused by the contact between the pig bodies can be avoided. In addition, instead of the lifting feeding method, the noise of the cylinder can also be avoided, and the noise of collision with the track can be eliminated, which is in line with the national guidance on automated processing technology for livestock and poultry, and plays an important role in promoting the transformation and upgrading of the meat processing industry.

[0027] In one embodiment, the first circulating conveying line 10 and the second circulating conveying line 20 extend along the same straight line direction, or are arranged side by side, or are arranged at an angle less than 180°.

[0028] As a first preferred embodiment, combined with Figure 4The first circulating conveyor line 10 and the second circulating conveyor line 20 are arranged in parallel, and the guide rail 32 and the transfer chain 33 are both vertically arranged on one side of the same end of the first circulating conveyor line 10 and the second circulating conveyor line 20. When the pig body 321 is transported to the right end along the first conveyor chain 11, the first push plate 111 on the first conveyor chain 11 moves toward the side gradually away from the guide rail 32 and gradually disengages from the guide rail 32. As the transfer chain 33 operates, the paddle plate 34 on the transfer chain 33 rotates to the transfer side 331, pushing the pig body 321 to continue to move to the right along the guide rail 32. When it moves to the right end of the transfer chain 33, the paddle plate 34 on the transfer chain 33 moves in the direction gradually away from the transfer side 331 and gradually disengages from the guide rail 32. At the same time, the second push plate 211 on the second conveyor chain 21 rotates from the front side until it rotates to the side close to the guide rail 32, replacing the paddle plate 34 to continue pushing the pig body 321 to move on the guide rail 32, thereby realizing seamless connection of the pig body 321 between the first circulating conveyor line 10 and the second circulating conveyor line 20. The misalignment distribution between the guide rail 32 and the first conveyor chain 11 and the second conveyor chain 21 is mainly reflected in that when approaching the transfer chain 33, the guide rail 32 does not change its moving direction, but the moving directions of the first conveyor chain 11 and the second conveyor chain 21 are rotated 90° toward the side away from the guide rail 32.

[0029] As a second preferred embodiment, combined with Figure 5 The first circulating conveyor line 10 and the second circulating conveyor line 20 are distributed at an angle of 90°. At the same time, one end of the transfer chain 33 extends in an arc shape to connect to the first conveyor chain 11, and the other end of the transfer chain 33 extends parallel to the second conveyor chain 21. Similarly, when the pig body 321 is transported to the right end along the first conveyor chain 11, the first push plate 111 on the first conveyor chain 11 moves toward the side gradually away from the guide rail 32 and gradually disengages from the guide rail 32. As the transfer chain 33 operates, the paddle plate 34 on the transfer chain 33 rotates to the transfer side 331, pushing the pig body 321 to continue to move to the right along the guide rail 32. When it moves to the front end of the transfer chain 33, the paddle plate 34 on the transfer chain 33 moves in the direction gradually away from the transfer side 331 and gradually disengages from the guide rail 32. At the same time, the second push plate 211 on the second conveyor chain 21 rotates from the right side until it rotates to the side close to the guide rail 32, replacing the paddle plate 34 to continue pushing the pig body 321 to move on the guide rail 32, thereby achieving seamless connection between the pig body 321 between the first circulating conveyor line 10 and the second circulating conveyor line 20. The misalignment distribution of the guide rail 32 and the first conveyor chain 11 and the second conveyor chain 21 is mainly reflected in that when approaching the transfer chain 33, the guide rail 32 gradually bends 90 degrees from the first conveyor chain 11, and the second conveyor chain 21 bends 90 degrees and remains parallel to the guide rail 32.

[0030] As a third preferred embodiment, combined with Figure 6 , the first circulating conveyor line 10 and the second circulating conveyor line 20 are arranged in parallel, and the guide rail 32 and the transfer chain 33 are both arranged between the first circulating conveyor line 10 and the second circulating conveyor line 20, and are obliquely connected to the first conveyor chain 11 and the second conveyor chain 21 at both ends. This connection method is similar to the previous two embodiments, wherein the staggered distribution of the guide rail 32 and the first conveyor chain 11 and the second conveyor chain 21 is mainly reflected in that when approaching the transfer chain 33, the guide rail 32 gradually bends from the first conveyor chain 11, and at the same time, the guide rail 32 also bends when approaching the second conveyor chain 21, so that at the left position, the first push plate 111 can smoothly detach from the guide rail 32, and at the right position, the dial plate 34 can smoothly detach from the guide rail 32.

[0031] As a fourth preferred embodiment, combined with Figure 7 , the first circulating conveyor line 10, the second circulating conveyor line 20 and the transfer chain 33 are arranged in parallel, and the guide rail 32 is connected in a U-shape between the first circulating conveyor line 10 and the second circulating conveyor line 20, and the transfer chain 33 is located in the guide rail 32, wherein the transfer side 331 of the transfer chain 32 is arc-shaped and matched with the middle part of the guide rail 32, wherein the outer diameter of the other side opposite to the transfer chain 33 is smaller than the outer diameter of the transfer side 331. This connection method is similar to the previous two embodiments, wherein the staggered distribution of the guide rail 32 and the first conveyor chain 11 and the second conveyor chain 21 is mainly reflected in that when approaching the transfer chain 33, the guide rail 32 gradually bends from the first conveyor chain 11, and the guide rail 32 also bends when approaching the second conveyor chain 21, so that at the left position, the first push plate 111 can smoothly detach from the guide rail 32, and at the right position, due to the inward contraction of the right side of the transfer chain 33, the dial plate 34 can smoothly detach from the guide rail 32.
