Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of duck slaughtering equipment, and in particular to an operating table with a duck head counting function. Background Technology
[0002] The processing steps for duck slaughtering and processing include nine steps: hanging the duck, bleeding, draining blood, spraying, scalding, plucking, waxing, cooling, and dewaxing. After slaughtering, some ducks need to have their heads cut off. Because duck heads have a unique flavor and delicious taste, they are a popular local delicacy. The cut-off duck heads need to go through a manual plucking process. Because the ducks still have small feathers after scalding, plucking, and general waxing, the cleanliness of the duck head feathers is not obvious, especially the downy feathers around the eyes and corners of the mouth.
[0003] The cleaning of duck heads in food processing is usually done manually. Workers put the cleaned duck heads into a collection box, and when the box is full, they pour them into a pre-cooling tank to cool them down. Because workers have to process a large number of duck heads a day, they have to bend over frequently to move the collection box, resulting in high labor intensity.
[0004] Meanwhile, in daily work, it is difficult to count the number of feathers cleaned by the staff. Only the total number of feathers cleaned in that shift can be counted. This can lead to uneven distribution during daily assessments, which is unfair to some hardworking employees, affecting their work efficiency and morale, and thus impacting the output of duck heads.

[0024] Example 1
[0025] See Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides an operating table with duck head counting function, including a rectangular table surface 1 and support legs 2 located at the four corners of the lower end of the table surface 1. Several through channels 3 are symmetrically arranged on the table surface 1, and a feeder 4 is fixedly installed at each channel 3.
[0026] Each feeder 4 is equipped with a set of infrared photoelectric counters, and several displays 5 are fixedly installed on the table 1. Each display 5 is electrically connected to one of the sets of infrared photoelectric counters.
[0027] Infrared photoelectric counters are divided into two types: infrared light-blocking counters and infrared reflective counters. This utility model adopts an infrared light-blocking counter, whose working principle is that the infrared light emitted by the infrared light-emitting tube shines directly on the infrared receiving tube (such as a phototube photoresistor, etc.);
[0028] Infrared light is emitted by an infrared LED, which is received by an infrared receiver. The receiver amplifies and rectifies the infrared light to form a low-level signal. When a duck head blocks the infrared light, the receiver does not receive the infrared signal, and the amplifier outputs a high level. This high-level signal is sent to the microcontroller for counting and displays the value on the display. This gives the number of duck heads to be counted.
[0029] A conveyor belt 6 is fixedly installed in the middle of the support leg 2.
[0030] The feeder 4 includes a hopper 7 fixedly mounted on the table 1. The hopper 7 is in the shape of an inverted trapezoid. The upper end of the hopper 7 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the table 1. An annular mounting plate is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the hopper 7. Several mounting holes are opened on the mounting plate. The hopper 7 is fixedly connected to the table 1 by bolts passing through the mounting holes. An inclined chute 8 is fixedly mounted at the lower end of the hopper 7. The high horizontal end of the chute 8 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the hopper 7. The low horizontal end of the chute 8 extends above the conveyor belt 6.
[0031] The light-emitting tube and the receiving tube are respectively set on both sides of the hopper 7. When the operator throws the processed duck head into the hopper 7, the duck head blocks the infrared light when it falls. The receiving tube does not receive the infrared signal, the amplifier will output a high level, and at the same time, this level signal is sent to the microcontroller to control the counting and make the display 5 display the value. In this way, the number of duck heads to be counted is obtained.
[0032] The duck heads falling from the hopper 7 land on the chute 8. Since the chute 8 is inclined, the duck heads on the chute 8 slide down to the lower horizontal end of the chute 8 until they fall onto the conveyor belt 6. The conveyor belt 6 then transports the duck heads to the pre-cooling tank for cooling.
[0033] Two reinforcing rods 9 are fixedly installed near the low horizontal end of the chute 8. The two reinforcing rods 9 are located on both sides of the chute 8. One end of the reinforcing rod 9 is fixedly connected to the chute 8, and the other end is fixedly connected to the hopper 7.
[0034] The reinforcing rod 9 can increase the structural strength of the chute 8, improve the stability of the chute 8 during use, and extend the service life of the chute 8.
[0035] Several baffles 10 are fixedly installed on the table 1, and each baffle 10 corresponds to one of the channels 3;
[0036] The projection of the baffle 10 on the horizontal plane is U-shaped. The opening ends of the two opposing baffles 10 are set opposite each other, and the opening ends of each baffle 10 are inclined.
[0037] The baffle 10 can prevent duck heads or other debris on the table 1 from falling into the feeder 4, improve the statistical accuracy of the infrared photoelectric counter, accurately calculate the number of cleaned hairs for each person, reduce the influence of human factors, and make the assessment more fair and just.
[0038] The four legs 2 are fixedly connected in the middle by an I-shaped horizontal platform 11, and the conveyor belt 6 is fixedly mounted on the horizontal platform 11.
[0039] The horizontal platform 11 can hold the conveyor belt 6 on one hand, and support and fix the four legs 2 on the other hand, thus improving the stability of the device.
[0040] Furthermore, several fixing rods are fixedly installed on the horizontal platform 11. The fixing rods are used to support and fix the platform 1 to prevent the platform 1 from deforming under stress after heavy objects are placed on it.
[0041] The bottom of the support leg 2 is equipped with an adjusting nut and an adjusting screw, and the bottom of the adjusting screw is equipped with a pad.
[0042] When using this invention, operators stand on both sides of the platform, with each operator corresponding to one of the channels 3. Depending on the length of the platform 1 and the number of channels 3, this device can accommodate 6-12 people at a time. The employees throw the cleaned duck heads into the hopper 7. When the duck heads fall, they block the infrared light, and the receiving tube does not receive the infrared signal. The amplifier will output a high level, and at the same time, this level signal will be sent to the microcontroller for control counting, and the display 5 will display the value. In this way, the number of duck heads to be counted is obtained.
[0043] The duck heads falling from the hopper 7 land on the chute 8. Since the chute 8 is inclined, the duck heads on the chute 8 slide down to the lower horizontal end of the chute 8 until they fall onto the conveyor belt 6. The conveyor belt 6 then transports the duck heads to the pre-cooling tank for cooling.
[0044] Example 2
[0045] Based on Example 1, a flap is rotatably installed at the lower end of each hopper 7. The end of the flap, near the horizontal level of the chute 8, is rotatably connected to the hopper 7. A torsion spring is installed between the flap and the hopper. A connecting rod is fixedly installed at one end of the flap, coaxial with the rotation axis of the flap. A mechanical counter is installed on the connecting rod and fixedly installed on the table 1. The mechanical counter accumulates and records the number of times the flap moves back and forth. When a duck head falls onto the flap, the weight received by the flap is greater than the elastic force of the torsion spring, causing the duck head to rotate and fall onto the chute 8. Each rotation of the flap drives the single-digit number wheel to rotate. By adjusting the gear ratio between several number wheels, accurate calculation of single-digit, tens, hundreds, and even more digits can be achieved. After the shift ends, the number of cleaned duck heads in the current shift can be accurately calculated. By comparing the data with the data on the display 5, the number of cleaned duck heads by each cleaning worker can be accurately calculated, reducing the influence of human factors and making the assessment more fair and just.
[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
