Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] The chicken hanging system is a crucial component of the chicken slaughtering production line. Its primary purpose is to suspend live chickens upside down from hooks on the conveyor track. Currently, the typical operation of this system involves an operator grabbing the chickens by their legs from the cage and then hanging them from the hooks on the conveyor track. However, existing solutions rely on manual hanging, which is inefficient and labor-intensive.

[0003] In the prior art, document CN207011612U discloses an automatic chicken hanging system for broiler slaughtering. The system involves hanging broilers on a hanging rail at the rear end. The broilers then pass through the inclined hanging rail to a broiler pushing device, which pushes the broilers one by one in a controlled and orderly manner to the hanging push device. The hanging push device then pushes the broilers onto the hanging clips, thus achieving automatic chicken hanging in broiler slaughtering. However, when using this system, the chicken legs must first be hung on the hanging rail from the rear end. Subsequently, the broilers are pushed one by one onto the hanging clips by the hanging push device, making it inconvenient to directly hang live chickens. Utility Model Content

The fence 7 is used to enclose both sides and the top of the conveyor belt 6 to prevent the chickens on the conveyor belt 6 from flying out. A door 8 controlled by a solenoid valve is hinged at the right end exit of the fence 7, and a rotating hook 9 that can rotate back and forth is provided on the right side of the conveyor belt 6;

[0019] See also Figure 2-3 The bottom of the chicken cage basket 3 has a bottom plate 31, and limiting grooves 32 are provided on both sides of the bottom plate 31. Limiting strips 33 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the chicken cage basket 3 corresponding to the limiting grooves 32, and the limiting strips 33 are slidably inserted in the limiting grooves 32;

[0020] See also Figure 2-3The chicken delivery assembly 4 includes a base 10 fixedly mounted on the top of the chicken cage basket 3 and the transfer rack 5. The top side of the base 10 is slidably connected to a movable frame 11. The movable frame 11 is U-shaped. The top side of the base 10 is located below the bottom wall of the limiting groove 32. The movable frame 11 is located above the top side of the bottom plate 31. The movement of the movable frame 11 will push the chicken cage basket 3 to slide to the top of the transfer rack 5, and the obstruction of the base 10 will cause the bottom plate 31 to remain in place, thereby opening the bottom of the chicken cage basket 3 to facilitate the chickens to fall down into the transfer rack 5.

[0021] See also Figure 2-3 A slider 12 is fixedly installed on the bottom side of the movable frame 11, and the slider 12 is in the shape of an isosceles trapezoid. A slide groove 13 is opened in the side of the base 10, and the slider 12 is slidably connected to the inside of the slide groove 13. A servo motor 14 is fixedly installed on the left side of the base 10, and a screw 15 is fixedly installed on one end of the output shaft of the servo motor 14, and the screw 15 is screwed into the inside of the slider 12. A top cover plate 16 is fixedly installed on the right side of the movable frame 11. By starting the servo motor 14, the screw 15 will be driven to rotate inside the slider 12, and then the movable frame 11 will slide along the top side of the base 10, so it will push the top cover plate 16 to open the top of the transfer rack 5, and will push the chicken cage basket 3 to move to the opening at the top of the transfer rack 5, so that the chickens in the chicken cage basket 3 fall into the transfer rack 5.

[0022] See also Figure 4 The chicken-chasing component includes an electric push rod 17 fixedly installed on the left side of the transfer frame 5 and a push plate 18 slidably connected to the inside of the transfer frame 5, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 17 is fixedly installed in the middle of the push plate 18. A pressure sensor is provided on the bottom wall of the transfer frame 5, and the pressure sensor and the electric push rod 17 are connected in signal. A movable rod 19 is provided on the right side of the push plate 18. The pressure sensor senses that the chicken falls down, and then the electric push rod 17 will be activated to push the push plate 18 to slide in the transfer frame 5, thereby driving the chickens in the transfer frame 5 onto the conveyor belt 6.

[0023] When in use, first place the chicken cage basket 3 containing chickens on the frame 1, and the chicken cage basket 3 will be transferred to the movable frame 11 through the conveyor roller 2. At this time, the servo motor 14 is started to drive the screw 15 to rotate in the slider 12, and then the slider 12 will drive the movable frame 11 to slide, so as to push the chicken cage basket 3 to move to the top of the transfer rack 5. Due to the obstruction of the base 10, the bottom plate 31 will remain in place, which will open the bottom of the chicken cage basket 3, thereby facilitating the chickens to fall down into the transfer rack 5.

[0024] Afterwards, when the sensor senses the chicken falling, the electric push rod 17 is immediately activated, causing the push plate 18 to slide within the transfer rack 5, which in turn drives the chickens inside the transfer rack 5 onto the conveyor belt 6. The conveyor belt 6 then transports the chickens to the barrier gate 8. At this time, the rotating hook 9 flips up and locks onto the chicken's feet. The barrier gate 8 is then opened, allowing the chicken's feet to hang on the rotating hook 9. The rotating hook 9 is then flipped down to hang the chicken upside down. Finally, the upside-down chicken is removed by the robot and placed on the rear hanging rack. When all the chickens in the chicken cage 3 have fallen, the cage 3 is reset and the empty cage 3 is moved to the next station.

[0025] In summary, by starting the servo motor 14 to drive the screw 15 to rotate in the slider 12, the slider 12 drives the movable frame 11 to slide, and pushes the chicken cage basket 3 to move to the top of the transfer rack 5. At this time, since the base 10 blocks the bottom plate 31, the bottom plate 31 will remain in place, and the bottom of the chicken cage basket 3 can be opened, so as to facilitate the chicken to fall down into the transfer rack 5; the pressure sensor senses that the chicken has fallen downward, and the electric push rod 17 is started to make the push plate 18 slide in the transfer rack 5, driving the chicken in the transfer rack 5 onto the conveyor belt 6, and then the conveyor belt 6 will convey the chicken to the baffle 8. At this time, the rotating hook 9 will flip upward and buckle at the chicken's feet, and then the baffle door 8 will be opened and the chicken can be hung upside down by flipping the rotating hook 9 downward. Finally, the upside-down chicken can be taken down by the manipulator and placed on the hanging rack at the rear.
