[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment proposes a natural casing end detection device for detecting the remaining length of a sausage casing, including a sausage length detection sensor 2, which is arranged on one side of the casing and has a detection head; a cleaning part 3 has a cleaning port 3, and the cleaning port 3 is configured to face the detection head or the cleaning path passes through the detection head.

[0035] In this embodiment, a sausage length detection sensor 2 and a cleaning part 3 are designed. The sausage length detection sensor 2 is arranged on one side of the casing and has a detection head. The design principle is to use the high-precision detection function of the sensor to monitor the remaining length of the casing in real time. The technical effect is that the casing length data can be accurately and quickly obtained, providing an accurate basis for subsequent production operations. When the natural casing is only a short length left, the sausage can be stopped in time to avoid the problem of the last sausage being too short and the filling being sprayed out of the sausage tube and causing the material to be scattered. The cleaning part 3 has a cleaning port 3, and the cleaning port 3 is configured to face the detection head or the cleaning path passes through the detection head. The design principle is that during the detection process, cleaning liquid or gas is sprayed through the cleaning port to clean the detection head in time. The technical effect is to effectively remove pollutants that may be attached to the detection head and keep it clean, thereby ensuring that the detection accuracy is not affected and reducing the detection error and equipment maintenance frequency caused by contamination.

[0036] By combining the sausage length detection sensor 2 with the cleaning piece 3 having a specific cleaning port 3, the detection head is cleaned in real time while the remaining length of the casing is accurately detected, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of the detection.

[0037] This device successfully addresses the inefficiency and instability of manual inspection, as well as the accuracy issues of equipment inspections susceptible to contamination. The sausage length detection sensor 2 ensures accurate and timely inspections, while the cleaning unit 3 ensures long-term stability and reliability. Overall, this improves the efficiency and quality of sausage casing end inspections, reduces labor and equipment maintenance costs, enhances the stability and sustainability of the production line, and meets the demands of high-quality, efficient production.

[0038] Furthermore, the enema length detection sensor 2 is a pressure sensor, a displacement sensor, an optical sensor, or a color sensor.

[0039] In this embodiment, the sausage length detection sensor 2 can be a pressure sensor, a displacement sensor, an optical sensor or a color sensor. If a pressure sensor is used as the sausage length detection sensor 2, its design principle is to determine the remaining length of the casing by detecting the change in pressure applied by the casing to the sensor. The technical effect is that it can more directly reflect the length of the casing and respond sensitively to the pressure change of the casing. The design principle of the displacement sensor is to determine the remaining length of the casing by measuring the relative displacement between the detection head and the casing. The technical effect is that the measurement accuracy is high and accurate displacement data can be provided. The design principle of the optical sensor is to use the reflection, refraction or penetration characteristics of light to calculate the remaining length of the casing by detecting the change in the light signal. The technical effect is non-contact detection, which will not cause additional pressure and damage to the casing. The design principle of the color sensor is to determine the remaining length of the casing based on the change in the color of the casing or the contrast with the color of the internal filling. The technical effect is that rapid detection can be achieved through color recognition.

[0040] Furthermore, it also includes a mounting plate 1 , on which the enema length detection sensor 2 is arranged.

[0041] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 1, with the enema length detection sensor 2 mounted thereon, provides a stable mounting platform for the sensor. This helps reduce vibration and shaking of the sensor during operation, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the detection data. The mounting plate 1 also standardizes the sensor's installation position, facilitating standardized layout and adjustment on the production line. Furthermore, it facilitates sensor installation and removal, facilitating equipment maintenance and replacement, and reducing operational complexity and repair costs.

[0042] Furthermore, the cleaning port 3 is a strip-shaped gap.

[0043] In this embodiment, when the cleaning port 3 is a strip-shaped slit, its technical benefit is that it can provide a wider and more uniform cleaning coverage. Compared with cleaning ports of other shapes, the strip-shaped slit can simultaneously act on a larger area of ​​the detection head in a single cleaning operation, reducing the number of areas that are missed during cleaning. This helps to more efficiently remove contaminants adhering to the detection head, ensuring that all parts of the detection head are fully cleaned, thereby stably and continuously maintaining detection accuracy, reducing the risk of detection errors caused by incomplete cleaning, and making the detection results more accurate and reliable.

[0044] Furthermore, the strip-shaped gap is parallel to the end face of the detection head.

[0045] In this embodiment, when the strip-shaped gap is parallel to the end face of the detection head, the technical effect is that the cleaning material can be applied more concentratedly, evenly, and efficiently to the key areas of the detection head. This parallel arrangement reduces scattering and waste of cleaning material, ensuring that the cleaning force is directly targeted at the end face areas most susceptible to contamination, thereby maximizing contaminant removal and maintaining the cleanliness of the detection head. This helps significantly improve cleaning effectiveness, ensures long-term stability in detection accuracy, reduces the risk of detection errors caused by insufficient cleaning, and makes detection more reliable and accurate.

[0046] Furthermore, the cleaning member 3 has a cleaning channel 4 , the cleaning channel 4 has an inlet 5 , and the cleaning channel 4 is connected to the cleaning port 3 .

[0047] In this embodiment, the cleaning element 3 includes a cleaning channel 4 and an inlet 5, with the cleaning channel 4 communicating with the cleaning port 3. This provides a dedicated path for the delivery of cleaning material. The inlet 5 facilitates access to an external cleaning source, allowing the cleaning material to be stably and continuously delivered to the cleaning port 3 through the cleaning channel 4. This ensures a stable and continuous supply of cleaning material during the cleaning process, preventing the cleaning effect from being affected by insufficient or untimely supply of cleaning material. Furthermore, the dedicated cleaning channel 4 helps maintain the flow rate and pressure of the cleaning material, increasing the impact and efficiency of the cleaning process, thereby more effectively cleaning the detection head.

[0048] Furthermore, the cleaning channel 4 is L-shaped, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the inlet 5 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the cleaning port 3 .

[0049] In this embodiment, the cleaning channel 4 is L-shaped. Its technical effect is that it can change the flow direction of the cleaning material, allowing it to reach the cleaning port 3 more efficiently, while also reducing the resistance of the cleaning material within the channel, ensuring smooth supply. The cross-sectional area of ​​the inlet 5 is larger than that of the cleaning port 3. This design reduces the pressure loss of the cleaning material when entering the cleaning channel 4, allowing it to enter the channel at a higher flow rate and pressure. When ejected from the cleaning port 3, the flow rate of the cleaning material increases due to the smaller cross-sectional area, thereby enhancing the impact of the cleaning, improving the cleaning effect, and more thoroughly cleaning the detection head. At the same time, the larger inlet cross-sectional area also facilitates connection and adaptation to an external cleaning source.

[0050] Furthermore, the orientation of the inlet 5 is perpendicular to the orientation of the cleaning port 3 .

[0051] In this embodiment, the orientation of the inlet 5 is perpendicular to that of the cleaning port 3. This effectively reduces energy loss during the transport of the cleaning material. Due to this perpendicular orientation, the cleaning material can quickly change direction upon entering the cleaning channel and be ejected from the cleaning port at greater pressure and velocity, enhancing the cleaning effect and efficiency. This design also facilitates the connection and layout of the inlet and external cleaning source, making the overall device structure more compact and rational. Furthermore, the perpendicular orientation reduces interference between the inlet and the cleaning port, ensuring a stable supply and ejection of the cleaning material.

[0052] This embodiment further provides a kinking assembly, further comprising:

[0053] The kinking wheel 6 is rotatably arranged on one side of the enema length detection sensor 2 and has a kinking hole.

[0054] In this embodiment, a kinking wheel 6 is rotatably mounted on one side of the sausage length detection sensor 2 and includes a kinking hole. Its technical advantage is that it can simultaneously detect the end of the casing and perform a kinking operation on the casing. The rotation of the kinking wheel 6 enables continuous and efficient kinking, improving the level of production automation. The design of the kinking hole allows for accurate positioning and kinking of the casing, ensuring consistent and high-quality kinking. By integrating with a natural casing end detection device, detection and kinking are integrated, reducing production steps, improving production efficiency, and enabling better control of the kinking effect of the casing, ensuring product quality and aesthetics.

[0055] Furthermore, it includes a transmission wheel 7, which is connected to the kinking wheel 6; a rotating driving member 8 drives the transmission wheel 7 to rotate. The motor drives the transmission wheel 7 to rotate, and the transmission wheel 7 is connected to the kinking wheel 6 through a conveyor belt, driving the kinking wheel 6 to rotate, thereby kinking the enema.

[0056] In this embodiment, the transmission wheel 7 is connected to the kinking wheel 6 by transmission, and the rotating drive member 8 drives the transmission wheel 7 to rotate. The technical effect is that it can provide stable and controllable power for the kinking wheel 6. The transmission wheel 7 plays the role of transmitting power and adjusting the rotation speed, so that the rotation of the kinking wheel 6 is more stable and precise. The rotating drive member 8 ensures the output of power, and can flexibly adjust the rotation speed and torque according to production needs to achieve precise control of the kinking process. This helps to improve the efficiency and quality of kinking, reduce problems such as uneven and loose kinking caused by unstable or uncontrollable power, and thus improve the working performance and reliability of the entire kinking assembly.

[0057] In this embodiment, by providing a sausage length detection sensor 2, automated control can be achieved, manual intervention can be reduced, and the efficiency and stability of the production line can be improved. The sausage length detection sensor 2 determines the remaining length of the natural casing by the pressure, length, light intensity, or color of the natural casing, which helps to optimize material use, reduce casing waste caused by improper cutting, and reduce production costs.

[0058] At the same time, by setting the cleaning part 3 and the cleaning channel 4, the detection head is cleaned in time to avoid affecting the detection accuracy. The cross-sectional area of ​​the inlet 5 of the cleaning channel 4 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the cleaning port 3, thereby increasing the pressure and cleaning the detection head more thoroughly.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all of these should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
