Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a chicken hanging system of a chicken slaughtering production line, in particular to a clamping hanging mechanism of the chicken hanging system. Background Art

[0002] The chicken hanging system is a very important part of the chicken slaughtering production line. Its main purpose is to hang live chickens upside down on the hooks of the conveyor track. At present, the conventional operating steps for hanging chickens using the chicken hanging system include: the operator grabs the chicken's legs from the cage, and then hangs the chicken's legs on the hooks of the hanging conveyor track. Among them, the hanging mechanism is the core structure of the chicken hanging system, which mainly includes hooks and their hanging tracks, and its function is to hang live chickens. However, in the existing operating scheme, the operator is usually required to reach into the chicken cage and grab the chicken's legs. The operation process is not only inconvenient, but also difficult to smoothly and quickly grab and hang the chicken's legs.

[0003] Existing document CN204032203U discloses a hanging rack for use in a chicken and duck slaughtering production line, comprising a hanger and a frame connected to the hanger. Two symmetrically mounted first vertical poles are fixed to the bottom pole of the frame. The first vertical poles and the side poles of the frame form a trumpet with a larger top and a smaller bottom. Inverted chicken feet can be caught at the bottom of the trumpet. Two symmetrically mounted second vertical poles and two third vertical poles are fixed to the bottom pole of the frame. The upper portions of the second and third vertical poles form a trumpet A. A short distance portion B is located between the second and third vertical poles to catch duck feet. This short distance portion B is typically about 3-5 cm from the bottom. When viewed from the side, the hanger has a curved portion below short distance portion B. Although this solution provides a hanging rack for hanging chickens, it does not solve the problem of how to smoothly and quickly grasp and catch the legs of the hanging chickens. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the problems mentioned in the background technology, the present invention provides the following technical solutions.

[0005] A hanging mechanism for a chicken hanging system includes a hook and a conveyor belt, which is used to drive the chicken on the conveyor belt forward so that the chicken's legs are hooked on the hook. The hook is rotatably mounted at the end of the conveyor belt. When the hook is in the upper limit position, the hook's opening is located above the conveyor belt, and the direction of the hook's opening is opposite to the direction of the chicken's forward movement. When the hook is in the lower limit position, the chicken is in an inverted position, and the hook is now located below the conveyor belt. This solution cleverly uses the conveyor belt to drive the chicken forward and hook its legs onto the hook, eliminating the need for manual catching and hanging of the chicken.

[0006] Furthermore, the hook is fixedly connected to the rotating bracket, the rotating bracket is connected to the support, and the rotating bracket has a driving system, which is used to drive the rotating bracket to flip to a target state.

[0007] Furthermore, the rotating bracket and the hook together form a frame, and when the hook is in the upper limit position, the conveyor belt is just located in the inner cavity of the frame. With such a structure, the chicken's legs can be more smoothly clamped into the hook.

[0008] Preferably, the hook has a plurality of openings, each opening being able to accommodate one of the legs of the chicken.

[0009] Furthermore, fences are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt and above the conveyor belt to prevent the chickens on the conveyor belt from flying out.

[0010] Furthermore, the opening of the hook has an expansion part, a neck part and a hook part. The expansion part is wide outside and narrow inside. The expansion part is used for allowing the chicken's legs to enter, and the neck part and the hook part are used to limit the chicken's legs from falling off.

[0011] Beneficial effects: The utility model cleverly uses a conveyor belt to drive the chicken forward and clamp the chicken's legs into the hook. There is no need to rely on manual labor to catch and hang the chicken. The chicken's legs can be clamped smoothly and quickly. It is easy to use and has high chicken hanging efficiency. More importantly, even if some chickens are in a squatting posture on the conveyor belt, the chicken's legs can be clamped into the hook. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0015] The technical solution of the present invention is clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0016] Combine Figures 1 to 3As shown, a hanging mechanism of a chicken hanging system includes a hook 91 and a conveyor belt 90, which is used to drive the chicken on the conveyor belt 90 to move forward so that the chicken's legs are hung on the hook 91; the hook 91 is rotatably set at the end of the conveyor belt 90, and when the hook 91 is in the upper limit position, the opening of the hook 91 is above the conveyor belt 90, and the direction of the opening of the hook 91 is opposite to the direction of the chicken's forward movement; when the hook 91 is in the lower limit position, the chicken is in an inverted state, and the hook 91 is now located below the conveyor belt 90.

[0017] In this embodiment, the hook 91 has several openings, each of which can just accommodate one of the legs of the chicken. The opening of the hook 91 has an expansion part 97, a necking part 94 and a hooking part 96. The expansion part 97 is wide outside and narrow inside. The main structure of the hook 91 can be obtained by bending an integrally formed steel bar 95; wherein, the specific size of the necking part 94 and the hooking part 96 is determined by those skilled in the art according to the breed of the chicken, as long as the chicken's legs can enter and the upside-down chicken can be prevented from falling; the hook 91 is fixedly connected to the rotating bracket 92, and the rotating bracket 92 is connected to the support 93. The rotating bracket 92 has a drive system, and the drive system is used to drive the rotating bracket 92 to flip to the target state.

[0018] In this embodiment, the rotating bracket 92 and the hook 91 together form a frame. When the hook 91 is at the upper limit position, the conveyor belt 90 is just located in the inner cavity of the frame.

[0019] In this embodiment, fences 98 are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt 90 and above the conveyor belt 90 .

[0020] When used in an application, the width of the conveyor belt 90 can be selected as needed, allowing the conveyor belt 90 to accommodate only one chicken or multiple chickens in its width direction.

[0021] How to use Chicken Principle: Place the live chickens to be slaughtered on the conveyor belt 90. When the conveyor belt 90 is running, the live chickens on the conveyor belt 90 also move forward, that is, Figure 3 The middle chicken moves in the direction indicated by the arrow on the conveyor belt 90, and the hook 91 is controlled to be in the upper limit position. At this time, the opening of the hook 91 is located above the conveyor belt 90, and the opening of the hook 91 is opposite to the direction of the chicken's forward movement (that is, the opening of the hook 91 is located on the necessary route for the chicken to move forward). As the conveyor belt 90 continues to run, the chicken's legs directly enter the opening of the hook 91; then, the rotating bracket 92 is controlled to flip downward, so that the hook 91 is in the lower limit position. At this time, the chicken is stuck on the hook 91 in an inverted posture.

[0022] This solution cleverly uses the conveyor belt 90 to drive the chicken forward and clamp the chicken's legs into the hook 91. There is no need to rely on manual labor to catch and hang the chicken. The chicken's legs can be clamped smoothly and quickly. It is easy to use and has high chicken hanging efficiency. More importantly, even if some chickens are in a squatting position on the conveyor belt 90, the chicken's legs can be clamped into the hook 91.
