Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of poultry processing equipment, in particular to a quail automatic head and tail removal processing device. Background Art

[0002] Quail, a small poultry, is highly sought after in the poultry processing industry for its delicious and nutritious meat. However, traditional quail processing often relies on manual labor, particularly during the decapitation process. This process is not only inefficient but also labor-intensive, and can easily lead to inconsistent processing quality due to human error. With the continuous advancement of automation technology, the development of an automated device that can efficiently and accurately perform this decapitation process has become increasingly important.

[0003] Currently, there are many poultry processing equipment on the market, such as poultry deheading machines, depilators, and splitters. These devices have improved the efficiency of poultry processing to a certain extent. However, when it comes to deheading and tailing small poultry such as quail, existing technologies still have many shortcomings. For example, Chinese patent (application number: 2022230959830) discloses a poultry deheading device, which includes a rotary chain conveyor mechanism, a collection box, a lifting platform, a cutting mechanism, a telescopic mechanism and a baffle. The collection box has an opening at the top, and the lifting platform and the baffle are relatively arranged on both sides of the collection box. The cutting mechanism and the telescopic mechanism are both arranged at the top of the lifting platform, and the cutting mechanism is transmission-connected to the telescopic mechanism. The telescopic mechanism drives the cutting mechanism to move closer to or away from the baffle. The rotary chain conveyor mechanism is horizontally arranged, and a plurality of hangers for fixing the feet of the poultry are provided at its lower end. The rotary chain conveyor mechanism drives the hangers at its lower end horizontally to pass over the collection box in turn so that the necks of the poultry hung on it pass between the lifting platform and the baffle, and the head removal operation is performed on multiple birds at one time. However, this device can only remove the heads of the poultry. If the tail needs to be removed, additional equipment is required to complete the operation, resulting in low processing efficiency and the need to transfer and hang the material multiple times, which increases labor costs.

[0021] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the automatic head and tail removal processing device for quail in this embodiment includes a bracket 1, a conveyor belt 2 is provided on the upper part of the bracket 1, a slitting module is installed above the conveyor belt 2, a partition 3 is provided in the middle of the conveyor belt 2, and the number of partitions 3 is multiple and evenly distributed along the length direction of the conveyor belt 2, and a storage chamber 4 is formed between two adjacent partitions 3, and the slitting module includes a transmission shaft 5, and a slitting blade 15 is provided on the transmission shaft 5 and is located on both sides of the storage chamber 4. A material dividing baffle 6 is provided on the outer side of each slitting blade 15, and the material dividing baffle 6 can gather the cut-off head and tail as the conveyor belt 2 advances and then continue to transport them forward for separation from the quail body.

[0023] The conveyor belt 2 is provided with a avoidance groove 7 corresponding to the position of the slitting disc 15. The avoidance groove 7 can ensure that the slitting disc 15 does not contact the conveyor belt 2, thereby preventing the conveyor belt 2 from being cut. At the same time, it also provides a position guide for the installation of the slitting disc 15, thereby preventing the gap between the slitting disc 15 and the storage chamber 4 from being too large.

[0024] A protective cover 8 is provided above the transmission shaft 5, and a conveying channel 9 for material entry and exit is provided on the protective cover 8. The width of the conveying channel 9 is greater than the width of the storage chamber 4, which is convenient for the entry and exit of the quail's head and tail. The function of the protective cover 8 is to seal and protect the cutting operation to prevent the entry of impurities and also to prevent debris from splashing out during cutting.

[0025] The material dividing baffle 6 is installed at an angle, and the distance between it and the storage chamber 4 gradually increases along the direction of material conveying. A sealing plate 10 is provided on the inner wall of the material dividing baffle 6. The sealing plate 10 and the material dividing baffle 6 are detachably connected by bolts. The lower end face of the sealing plate 10 is in contact with the upper surface of the conveyor belt 2, and a positioning cross brace 11 is provided on the outer wall of the material dividing baffle 6.

[0026] A material receiving guide plate 12 is provided at the end of the conveyor belt 2, and a recycling area 13 corresponding to the position of the storage chamber 4 is provided in the middle of the material receiving guide plate 12. Waste collection areas 14 are provided on both sides of the recycling area 13. The waste collection area 14 and the recycling area 13 are divided by vertical plates, which are used to recover the head, tail and torso of the quail respectively.

[0027] Working principle: When in use, quail is added to one end of the bracket 1 and placed in the storage chamber 4. Driven by the conveyor belt 2, the quail moves forward. When it moves to the slitting module, the slitting knife disc 15 cuts off the head and tail of the quail. After the slitting is completed, the quail body still stays in the storage chamber 4, and the quail's head and tail are located on both sides of the storage chamber 4 and separated from the quail body. As the transmission belt 2 continues to move forward, the quail body falls into the recycling area 13, and the cut head and tail fall into the waste collection area 14 under the guidance of the material dividing baffle 6. It should be noted that the drive of the conveyor belt 2 and the drive shaft 5 use the same motor, and both are connected by belt drive, which can save the cost of the equipment.
