The output shaft of the motor 28 is fixedly connected to the right end of the lead screw 21. The input end of the motor 28 is electrically connected to the output end of the control switch group 13.

[0028] The working principle of the plucking equipment for slaughtering provided by this utility model is as follows: First, the worker opens the loading and unloading door 14, then pours water into the plucking chamber 4. Next, the worker operates the control switch group 13 to activate the water bath heating plate 11, which heats the water inside the plucking chamber 4. After a period of time, the worker places the pig to be plucking into the plucking chamber 4 and closes the cover 5. After a period of time, the pig hair is softened by the hot water inside the plucking chamber 4. At this time, the worker operates the control switch group 13 to activate the motor 7. The output shaft of the motor 7 drives the plucking roller 8 to rotate. During this rotation, the plucking roller 8 cooperates with the rubber block 9, using friction to pluck the pig hair. Then, the worker operates the control switch group 13 to stop the motor 7, opens the cover 5, and then operates the control switch... Group 13 activates motor 28, whose output shaft drives lead screw 21 to rotate. Under the rotational constraints of the lead screw 21 thread and guide slide 3, slider 22 moves electric winch 23 to the left. Workers then securely tie the lower end of the winch wire to the pig's leg. Next, control switch group 13 activates electric winch 23, causing it to begin winding the wire, lifting the pig and gradually bringing it upright. Then, control switch group 13 reverses motor 28, causing lead screw 21 to rotate in the opposite direction. Slider 22 then moves electric winch 23 to the right, causing the pig to move to the right. When the pig reaches directly above cleaning ring 27, control switch group 13 stops motor 28, and workers activate external water pumps, which then pump water... Water inside the tank 24 is supplied via a telescopic hose 26 (the water inside the tank 24 is replenished by workers through a replenishment pipe 10). It is then sprayed out through the cleaning ring 27 (pressurized and sprayed out through nozzles installed by workers inside the cleaning holes). Subsequently, the worker operates the control switch assembly 13 to activate the electric cylinder 25. The telescopic end of the electric cylinder 25 drives the cleaning ring 27 to move (specifically, it moves upwards first, then downwards). As the cleaning ring 27 moves upwards, the sprayed water gradually acts on the pig's skin surface, washing away the sticky pig hair. As the cleaning ring 27 moves downwards, the telescopic hose 26 continuously stretches and contracts, further cleaning the pig. After the cleaning ring 27 moves up and down, the worker removes the pig after the hair removal and cleaning process. At this point, the worker removes the water that fell into the sewage tank 29 during the cleaning process for treatment. The worker then operates the control switch group 13 to open the electric valve 6, draining the sewage from the plucking chamber 4. The worker then operates the control switch group 13 to stop the motor 7, opens the cover 5, and operates the control switch group 13 to start the motor 28. The output shaft of the motor 28 drives the lead screw 21 to rotate. Under the rotational constraint of the lead screw 21's thread and the guide slide 3, the slider 22 drives the electric winch 23 to move to the left. The worker then securely ties the lower end of the winch wire to the pig's foot. Next, the worker operates the control switch group 13 to start the electric winch 23, which begins to wind the wire, lifting the pig and gradually bringing it upright. Finally, the worker operates the control switch group 13 to reverse the rotation of the motor 28.Then, the lead screw 21 rotates in the reverse direction. At this time, the slider 22 drives the electric winch 23 to move to the right, and the electric winch 23 drives the pig to move to the right. When the pig moves directly above the cleaning ring 27, the control switch group 13 stops the motor 28. The worker drives the external water pump, which pumps water from inside the water tank 24 through the telescopic hose 26 (the water inside the water tank 24 is replenished by the worker through the replenishment pipe 10). The water is then sprayed out through the cleaning ring 27 (pressurized and sprayed out through the nozzle installed by the worker inside the cleaning hole). Subsequently, the worker operates the control switch group 13 to operate the electric cylinder 25. The telescopic end of the electric cylinder 25 drives the cleaning ring 27 to move (the specific movement path is: first...). Moving upwards and then downwards, the water sprayed from the cleaning ring 27 gradually acts on the pig's skin surface as it moves upwards, washing away the sticky pig hair. As the cleaning ring 27 moves downwards, the telescopic hose 26 continuously stretches and contracts, further cleaning the pig. After the cleaning ring 27 moves up and down, the worker removes the pig after the hair removal and cleaning process. The worker then removes the water that fell into the wastewater tank 29 during the cleaning process for treatment and operates the control switch group 13 to open the electric valve 6, draining the wastewater from the hair removal tank 4 to facilitate the cleaning of any remaining pig hair on the pig's skin surface after the hair removal process.

[0029] It is worth noting that the electric winch 23 disclosed in the above embodiments can be of model JM5.0T, the electric cylinder 25 can be of model HE32, the electric motor 28 and the electric motor 7 can both be of model Y132S-4, the electric valve 6 can be of model D941X-16Q, the water bath heating plate 11 can be a stainless steel water bath heating plate, and the control switch group 13 is provided with control buttons that correspond one-to-one with the electric winch 23, the electric cylinder 25, the electric motor 28, the electric valve 6, the electric motor 7 and the water bath heating plate 11 and are used to control their switching.
