DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an automatic skewering device for quail comprises a frame 1, on which a skewer storage mechanism, a rotary skewer discharging mechanism, and a skewer pushing mechanism are sequentially installed along the direction of bamboo skewer conveying. The skewer storage mechanism is provided with a skewer discharging port 202. The rotary skewer discharging mechanism comprises a skewer storage roller 201 rotatably mounted on the frame, and a plurality of skewer storage grooves 203 are axially provided on the outer circumference of the skewer storage roller. The bamboo skewers fall into the skewer storage grooves from the skewer discharging port. The skewer pushing mechanism comprises a skewer pushing member 204 which pushes back and forth along the length direction of the skewer storage groove. The skewer pushing member pushes the bamboo skewers along the length direction of the skewer storage groove. A skewer threading mold 103 is installed at the skewer pushing and discharging position on the frame opposite to the skewer storage roller. The skewer threading mold 103 is used for placing quails.

[0029] The stick storage mechanism includes a stick storage bin, which includes a bottom plate 205, a back plate and two side plates 206 installed on the bottom plate. The bottom plate 205, the back plate 207 and the side plates form a stick storage bin with an opening on one side, wherein the opening side is the stick outlet 202. The side of the bottom plate near the stick outlet 202 is tilted downward toward the rotating stick outlet mechanism, and the sticks are dropped by their own weight. The beneficial effects brought by this design are mainly reflected in the following aspects: (1) Natural stick dropping and improved automation: Through the design of the bottom plate tilting downward, the bamboo sticks can slide smoothly to the stick outlet by their own weight and then enter the stick storage slot of the rotating stick outlet mechanism. This process does not require additional power or mechanical devices, and realizes the natural and continuous supply of bamboo sticks, further improving the automation level of the entire automatic stick feeding device. (2) Reduce the phenomenon of stick jams and blockages: The opening design of the stick storage bin and the tilt angle of the bottom plate enable the bamboo sticks to maintain a certain speed and direction during the sliding process, reducing the phenomenon of stick jams and blockages caused by the accumulation, staggering or inconsistent directions of bamboo sticks. This helps to improve the stability and reliability of the equipment and reduce the failure rate and maintenance costs. (3) Strong adaptability and easy adjustment: The opening size of the stick storage bin and the tilt angle of the bottom plate can be adjusted according to actual needs to accommodate bamboo sticks of different specifications and quantities. This design makes the equipment more adaptable and flexible, and can meet different production scenarios and needs. (4) Improved production efficiency: Since the stick storage mechanism can continuously and stably supply bamboo sticks, the rotating stick discharging mechanism and the stick pushing mechanism can continue to work, thereby improving the production efficiency of the entire automatic stick feeding device. This is of great significance for large-scale and efficient quail processing and production.

[0030] A stick-selecting mechanism 208 is mounted on the frame at the corresponding stick-dispensing outlet. The mechanism includes a stick-selecting shaft 209 rotatably mounted on the frame, and a stick-pressing wheel 210 coaxially mounted on the shaft. The stick-pressing wheel is mounted against the outer circumference of the stick-storing roller. By rotating the stick-selecting shaft and the stick-pressing wheel, the stick-selecting mechanism can precisely control the number and speed of sticks dropping from the stick-storing outlet. The stick-pressing wheel is mounted against the outer circumference of the stick-storing roller, rotating in the opposite direction of the roller. This design ensures that the sticks are arranged in order before falling into the stick-storing slot, avoiding blockage or misalignment caused by an excessive number of sticks falling simultaneously.

[0031] The skewers storage mechanism is equipped with a guide plate 211 at the corresponding position of the skewers outlet. The guide plate 211 has a curved pressing surface that guides and presses the bamboo skewers, preventing excess bamboo skewers from falling. This not only guides and presses the bamboo skewers, ensuring they fall into the skewers storage slot at the correct angle and position, but also effectively prevents inaccurate skewer threading caused by skewers bouncing or shifting. This helps improve the accuracy and consistency of skewer threading, thereby enhancing product quality.

[0032] The rotation direction of the stick pressing wheel is opposite to that of the stick storage roller, and an elastic pressing belt is coaxially installed on the outer side wall of the stick pressing wheel. Its elasticity and friction can further improve the anti-slip effect of the stick pressing. Even under high-speed operation, it can ensure that the bamboo sticks are stably fitted in the stick storage slot of the stick storage roller, reducing the failure rate of the bamboo sticks due to slipping or jumping. In addition, components such as the stick dialing mechanism, the stick guide pressure plate and the elastic pressing belt are designed to be detachable and adjustable, which makes the maintenance and adjustment of the equipment simpler and more convenient. Users can flexibly adjust the position and parameters of these components according to actual production needs to meet the processing needs of bamboo sticks of different specifications and quantities.

[0033] The frame is provided with an elastic pressing mechanism corresponding to the position above the sign roller. The elastic pressing mechanism includes a pressing plate 212 installed on the frame. One end of the pressing plate is installed on the frame, and the other end of the pressing plate is bent and pressed on the outer peripheral surface of the sign roller. Specifically, the pressing plate includes a fixed end 213 and a movable end 214. The movable end is hinged on the fixed end. A return spring is installed on the inner side of the pressing plate. One end of the return spring 215 is connected to the inner side of the movable end, and the other end of the return spring 215 is connected to the frame. A supporting plate 216 is installed on the frame corresponding to the position below the sign roller. An annular groove is provided on the sign roller along the circumference. The above structural design has the following advantages: (1) Reduce damage to bamboo sticks: The pressing plate of the elastic pressing mechanism adopts a flexible design, which can avoid excessive pressure or scratches on the bamboo sticks. At the same time, the existence of the supporting plate also plays a supporting and buffering role, reducing the friction and collision of the bamboo sticks during transportation, which helps to protect the integrity and quality of the bamboo sticks. (2) Improve the smoothness of equipment operation: The design of the supporting plate makes the stick storage roller more stable when rotating, reducing equipment failure and safety hazards caused by shaking or vibration. At the same time, the opening of the annular groove also helps to reduce the friction and resistance between the stick storage roller and the bamboo sticks, making the equipment run more smoothly. (3) Easy to maintain and adjust: The elastic stick pressing mechanism and supporting plate and other components are designed to be detachable and adjustable, which makes the maintenance and adjustment of the equipment easier and more convenient. Users can flexibly adjust the position and parameters of these components according to actual production needs to meet the processing needs of bamboo sticks of different specifications and quantities.
